GIVE LIVESTOCK CARE
Calendar of Suggestions From Spe>
Clallsls for" December
Clemson College, Dec. 3.?-Suggestions
for the feeding and care of
livestock in December are given briefly
by L. V. Starkey, chief animal
husbandman; C. G. Cushman, extension
dairy specialist; and P. H. Gooding,
extension poultryman. Winter
brings need for special care of animals,
these specialists say.
Animal Husbandry.?Provide plenty
of bedding, under good shelter, for
hogs. Make liberal use of barley,
rye, and oats for hog grazing. Do
not allow the sheep to take the cold
winter rains. Give beef cattle good
roughage, such as legume bay. Feed
mules cottonseed meal along with
other concentrates, if grass hay or
fodder is used for roughage. Give
idle mules access to roughage and cut
concentrates one-half.
.Dairying. ? Protect dairy battle
from direct drafts and from rkins.
Feed milking cows good-quality
roughages to limit of appetite. Feed
grain in proportion to' milk produced
by each "'cow. Give dairy cattle access
to pure fresh drinking water.
Graze, cows not over two hours per
day on winter cover crops.
Poultry.?Free1 poultry house from
drafts. Kssp tho laying flnek in- good
flesh. Feed the moltcrs liberally to
get early production. Get brooding
equipment in order.
Edward Gaston, 14, landowner of
Montgomery, Ala., is in jail, having
made an alleged confession that he
had murdered a tenant to cover up an
illicit relation with the tenant's wife.
He claims that he was incited to the
deed by the woman.

Benj. DeLoache
On Radio Today
The radio fans of tho Carolina# will
have a treat in store 'for them thia
afternoon when young Benjamin DeLoache,
of Camden, will broadcast
from Station W. C. A. W. of Philadelphia
on the National Broadcasting
Company'# hook-up.
The, famous Philadelphia Philharmonic'Orchestral
under the leadership
of Leopold Stakowski, will play for
Mr. DeLoache. This is one of the
outstanding orchestras in America
today.
"Benny" DeLoache was reared in
Camden and attended Woflford college
and the University of South Car-J
olina. While a member of the glee
club, it was discovered that-his voice
had possibilities, and hd abandoned ^
the idea of studying medicine, to take
up voice,.and studied' in Asheville for
a couple of years.
A few years ago he won the National
Atwater Kent contest, and
since then has been studying at tho
Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, and
on several occasions has sunjg in
grand opera. Several summers ago
ne accompanied Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen, daughter of William Jennings
Bryan and Fannie 1 hirst, tho novelist,
on a tour of Europe, and while
over there continued his studies. John
Bryan Owen, son of Mrs. Owens anil
grandson of William Jennings Bryan,
also accompanied them. He is a very
close friend of Mr. DeLoache.
Critics of the musical circles in
New York and' Philadelphia predict
a wonderful future for Mr. DeLoache,
and the northern papers have been
very high in their praise of his-work.
The broadcast will take place at
2:110 Friday afternoon, December Oth. >
Blue Team Takes
Second Polo Game
The Blue team of the Old Camden
Polo club took its second successive
game from the Whites by a score of
4 to 3 Sunday afternoon. Many
thought this game, which was very
fast and filled with thrills and .moments
of suspense, was the best yet
played between these teams.
H is a peculiar coincidence how frequently
this 4 to 8 score is the final 1
result. Fully half the games have so
resulted and almost all of them, ns
happened in Sunday's game, reach a
3 to 3 tie early in the play,, which 1
tie seems to stalemate both teams 1
and reigns until near the end of the i
game. In Sunday's game this 3 to 3 i
score was reached in thq third' chuk- 1
ker and held until late in the sixth f
when Ancrum Boykin put through J
the winning goal for the Blues. ' J s
The sensation of the game was a ^
beautiful solo drive by Frank Wooten J
almost the entire length of the field J
for a goal. Joe Bates too played a j
beautiful game for the Blues. js
For the Whites Charlie Little and J
Clarkson Rhame played well. L
A gallery of hundreds including
many from all parts of the State
were on hand to enjoy the exhibition.
The game next Sunday and those
thereafter will ^tart at 3 o'clock instead
of 3:15.
