Its, visit here was all too short however j as m^ny who would want to study the different charts and other phases of what they had to offer did not have the lime. Even with its short visit great good is bound to come of this tour as it carries directly to the farmers concrete evidence oi what scientific farming and livestock breeding will accomplish. It is costing the Coast Line railway a large sum of money to put this tour over, but they! are doing it on the assumption that' what helps this section prosper it! will in turn help the railroads in a1 greater volume of business. It is made up of seven cars and coaches and everyone of them excepting the Pullman carries something of vital interest to the farmers of this Dr. W. W. Long, head of the Clemson extension service and experts in livestock and poultry were on hupd. Announcements through the micro-1 phone are being made by V. W. Lewis for the A. C. L. and J. T. Lazar, district agent, for Clemson extension department. In speaking of the train, Mr. Perrin, assistant freight traffic manager, . complimented the Clemson extension service on its excellent exhibit. Mr. Perrin stated that he believed the train was a practical way of putting the necessity of livestock development and home growing of feeds before the farmers of the state and that much good would be accomplished. The train, as its name implies, seeks to make the farmer realize that in developing his livestock, hogs, dairy cow, sheep and poultry, he can round out the work on his farm and continue to run it successfully. This object is aptly stated in the slogan adopted by those in charge of the traip: The dairy cow, hog and hen,' Wi.ll make independent ' South Carolina men. The train is sent out ipintly Clemson college extension department and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. It was at the Florence shops that the various cars were outfitted. They were then sent to Anderson and equipped with the exhibits of livestock, feeds, charts and other incidentals by Clemson college for the tour of the state. As it is made up it consists of engine, baggage coach, feeding and poultry exhibits, livestock exhibits, day coach, equipped for public address system, and the Pullman coach. Each of the coaches is liberally equipped with charts and fixtures suitable for its uses. On the sides of the "Public Speaking Car" and" of the baggage car in large letters is the name "Livestock Development Special" of the train. The engine also carries the name of the train on both sides while on its front is t^xe picture of a handsome dairy bull. Tnis engine will be used practically throughout the tour. Next to the engine is the baggage car in which is carried a "full supply of varied feeds for the poultry and livestock on board . the train. Going from the front to the rear of the train, the visitor is struck with the charts display and the aptness of the charts, each one of which carries new .thoughts and ideas for him to take home. Entering the .first exhibit car, one finds the various, kinds of poultry recommended by Clemson allege as breeding stock for this section; means of parasite eradication, sanitary watering troughs, sanitary feeding hoppers for poultry, the proper feeds for pullets, schedules-for feeding. Exhibits of the old style and new style poultry houses are contrasted. The exhibit of clean brooding, clean feed, and clean grounds to secure healtHy chicks is" a unique one. la this car are two -baloptjoan rpachine.H ?they are not as td&tfgerobs all the name implies?which automatically display slides exemplifying the new improved methods of dairying and raising poultry. Another' corner of the car. Juis a picture. Lights flash on to show the undernourishod child and then the child which receives the proper nourishment. "Charts on either side indicate the improper and the proper food for growing children, emphasizing the need of milk, vegetables, poultry and eggs, which can be grown at home. An outfit in this car also showrs the process of egg-handling and the charts show the various gtades. The next car shows a section of the farmer's hen house, as it ought to be, according to the directions of Clemson college specialists, well lighted, clean, and well ventilated, ' although free ? of drafts, v A cross-section of the brooder house for chickens comes next. Then comes dairy supplies, hog feeds, poultry feeds and equipment andsuppHes for eating for and feeding the family flocks and herds* all of which have been triad out at and are recommended by Clethson college. The dairy cows are on the next car.Several of these are young animals to indicate the beet types. - One- Jersey cow tfom Clemson college has a yield of 10,122 pounds of milk and Mi.? pounds of butter fat to bef HHII [BBBBB credit, while opposite her is the Guernsey cow which gave 1:1,347.1) pounds of milk, with 641.5 pounds of butter fat in a year. The charts over the auimala show the various ? records according to tests made at the college. ' Seyeral pure bred bulls on board to Show the proper type of animal dairy men should utilize. The common ewe ?v With her lamb of five months as large as its mother shows the need of a pure bred rant in breeding^up sheep and other stock on the unw. The various breeds :of hogs recommended for this section are snownsnd charts indicate the need of litters early in the year, quick-feeding methods by self-feeders, so as to gfet the pigs to' market in early fall at about six months age 'with weights at about 200 pounds.

Dure 1 n 11 Miller has contracted uith n number of Camden merchants to appear in < anxden next Thursday, Jura- iJHth, and perform his death defying exhibition, known as the "Death Or uk." Kluborute preparations are Ixing made by the merchants and business men to make this one of the biggest days ever held in Camden. Special bales will take place and in addition there will be all kinds of contests and prizes awarded to the winners. Another event which will very probably add to the crowds here on that duy is the carnival to be put on by home talent under the auspices of the local post of the American Legion. They are planning a real carnival with nearly all of the attractions except the riding devices. Dare Devil Miller will perform his original exhibition known as the# "Death Drag" in which ho makes his escape from the straight jacket while being dragged down the street ut the terrifftc speed of sixty miles an hour. He has performed this "Death Drug" hundreds of times with but one serious accident which occum*! in Laurens last year. He attributes his good fortune largely to the equipment he uses. Arrangements have been made with the Dclx>ache Motor Company for the use of a Dodge Victory Six for the occasion. Miller says that the perfect weight combined with the flexibility and reliability of the Dodge equipped with Williurd Batteries and FiSke tires makes it an Ideal car for his needs. He also insists that the gas and oils will be of tested calibre, so he has chosen Texaco new and better gas.
