Sprolea, 71, for &0 years a highly esteemed resident of Greenwood and superin tendent of the water and light plani for 28 years died at a local hospital early today after an illness of five weeks. ?. ~ Mr. Sproles was a native of Durant, Miss., but came to this |tate us a boy with a younger brother, J. W. tiproles. He located first al Donalds where he was an apprentice in the tin trade and later worked at Greenville and Anderson. He was in business here from 1877 to 188(5 when he moved to Newberry and ImsJ there several years before accepting a position us traveling salesman. In 18UU he was elected superintendent ol' the local water and light plant and served in that capacity until he was attacked by illness five weeks ago. He was past president of the 'InState Water and Light association and later was elected honorary life president when the organisation broadened into the southeastern association. Rev. Sam Creech Dead Rev. Samuel T. Creech, president of the Creech Orphanage, just south of the city, which he founded nine years ago, and for 30 years an ordained Methodist minister, died at his home on Pine street early this morning after an Illness of several months, which became critical a few weeks ago. Mr. Oeech was 55 years old, yesterday having been his birthday. Mr. Creech was known best to the people of Spartanburg through his work for parentless or otherwise unprovided for children, his later years having been devoted to the upbuilding of an institution which would more adequately care for unfortunate children, who deprived of homes of their own had been turned over to him, on whom to depend for their livelihood. The Creech Orphanage waB begun as a small institution without permanent quarters or equipment. After several years, Mr. Creech succeeded in carrying out a plan for the establishment of an orphanage plant south of the city on the Glendale car line, a short distance beyond the corporate limits. The orphanage at the present time has some 75 children under its roof who must be provided for.? Spartanburg Herald, February 25.

It |?, however, worth while for the farmer who huppena to Imve a considerable amount of rough land In his farm that muat of neceaalty be maintained In pasturo thoroughly to realize thin fuct. lleeauae of their scarcity we are entering upon a period of high-priced feeding cuttle, a period when the cuttle feeder who relies upon the market for his feeding stock will have to he exceedingly careful or he may pay ho much for Ida feeders a a to make It difficult to derive a profit from fattening them for the market, aaya the Iowa Homestead. The man who raises his own calves will run much leas risk 1 In the next five or six years In beef production than he who must depend entirely upon the market. Italslng calves for the feed lot and fattening them for the market at weights ranging from 750 to 1,000 pounds Is not a scheme that can bu recommended for everyone, but It is a good plan for the man part of whose farm Is too rough for cultivated crops. A. Cass county farmer who owns u 240ftcre farm, 42 per cent of which Is nulled only for pasture, has raised his own calves for tl*> feed lot for a number of years and lias found It profitable and a very safe business. His profits are gro#lng as time passes, for the reason that his pasture is Increasing in carrying capacity and his cultivated land is growing In fertility and producing larger crops from year to year. This Is an Inevitable result of good live-stock farming of which so many lose sight. The lund of the grain farmer becomes less productive year after year, while that of the llve-ptock farmer becomes more productive as time passes. These two well-known facts need to be driven home, for we have altogether too many farmers who disregard them or perhaps do not give them the proper consideration. Plan for Handling and Feeding Farm Stallion The ration of the stallion should consist of first-class wholesome feeds, supplying ample protein and mlueral matter for thrift and vigor. The-' choice of feeding stuffs will depend on the particular locality, the same ""Principles applying as In the case of the work horse! A combination such as the following Is satisfactory: Oats, four parts; corn, six parts; bran, three purts by weight; timothy or prairie hay. Corn, alfalfa hay 1-8 and prairie hay 2-3. Corn, seven parts; bran, three parts k. linseed meal, one part ; timothy or prairie hay. No specific total direction can be given as to the total amount of feed required, since this depends on the exercise the animal gets and whether he Is a "hard" or "easy" keeper. A safe rule Is to keep the stallion In goocL? -flesh,-hut-not "hog tat," for this vvytVlnjure his breeding powers. Most horsemen advise that in the breeding' season he be kept gaining Just a bit, rather than allowed^ to run dowri In flesh. Traveling a stallion is one of the best practices, if the expense Is not prohibitive. Of course, this will depend upon the number of luares available. To be profitable, there must at least be 50 to 75 mares available for the season. , 't Much of Corn Saved by Hogs Following Steers When steers are full fed on shelled corn or ear corn, the hogs following usually get the benefit of about 10 per cent of the corn which Is fed to the steers. In other words, If steers are fed 20 pounds of corn per head dally, and there is one hog following each steer, the average hog will get about 2 pounds of corn In the droppings. With yovrrig cattle, hogs don't get quite as high a percentage as with older cattle, and of course If the weather Is bad and the lots are very muddy, they don't recover as high a percentage. Ordinarily when there Is one hog following each steer, It U wise to feed a little corn In addition and also one-fifth of a pound of tankage per head dnlly. Care of Brood Mares The best for brood meres Is cornstalks and good timothy bay with from four to six quarts of oats and wheat bran, equal ports, each day. This keeps her healthy and strong and enables her to furnish the growing foetus with the best kind of materials to make the best bono and muscle. The dam should also have moderate exercise. She should be loosed or sheltered nights and In all stormy . weather. v: Woman I* Killed in Fall of Store Winston Salem, Feb. 26.?Ah a reHult of the collapse of the Frank Ur- , ban stort; building on Majn Htreet at , 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Snllie Snow, 50, died at a locul hospital a few hours later from injuries sustained.
