Clemson College, March 4.?Attention to livestock matters in Majch will have much to do with success through the year, say extension Specialists, giving hints to guide farmers. Animal Husbandry. ? Make plans for sumiper forages for hogs. (.Jive sows close attention at farrowing. Put young sows and pigs on new terI ritory to avoid parasites. Feed nursing sows liberally. Give ewes grain and legume hay. Feed young lumbs grain in a croep from two weeks old* Gradually increase mule feed to avoid digestive disturbances while they get accustomed to spring work. Dairying.?Rempve cows from onion-infested pastures Ave hours before milking. Clean up lots and haul off litter to destroy breeding places for flies. Use some acreage cut from cotton for more feed crops. Silage and legume hay make ideal roughage feet! for next winter. Poultry.?Raise baby chicks separate from old birds. Provide feed for chicks in clean troughs or hoppers. LhU chicks into sunshine early. Clean brooder houses regularly. Plant green feed for summer. Arrange to secure stock for flock improvement next season. Agronomy.?Make, savo and use farm manures and compost in producing crops. Before buying fertilizer, study carefully the needs of your soil for plant food to feed the plants grown on that soil. 'Buy materials and mix fertilizer so that plants will be supplied with food most needed. The price of cotton next fall will probably bo low. Plan to produce it at low cost. Read First Cor^ inthians, chapter 3, verse 6, and plaVf an acreage of food and feed crops accordingly. Horticulture.?Set out fruit trees if not already set. Plant raspberries and blackberries any time this month. Prune and spray fruit trees. Cultivate and fertilize orchards. Plant salsify and parsnips now for next winter. Insects and Diseases. ? Remove bands from apple trees, scrape rough bark off, and kill the over-wintering codling moth larvae. Burn twigs severed by the pecan twig girdler Grow corn as far as possible from last year to control billbugs and borers. Control cutworms with poisoned bran mash. Dust tobacco plants with arscnicnls to control flea beetles.! Plow under leaves and shucks in pecan groves as an aid in scab control. Spray potatoes with Bordeaux when first leaf spots appear. Plant wiltrcsistant tomatoes, such as Marglobe and Break-o'-Day. Agricultural Engineering. ? Cut stalks and trash with disc harrow before plowing instead of burning. Use a two-horse middle buster with wide doubletree for laying off evenlyspaced rows. Equip the riding twohorse cultivator with opener for labor efficiency. Plow terraces just before planting and make them wide enough for three rows of crops. Use twohorse. machinery wherever possible and save labor for growing feed crops. Serious About Arrest Deputy Sheriff Guy Paris takes his work seriously. He substituted for Sheriff B. B. Smith at the mock trial at the high school auditorium featuring Gee McGee and Mike Clark last night, because of Sheriff Smith's illness. As a part of the fun, a telegram was brought in addressed to Sheriff Smith asking that McGee be held on a charge of stealing hogs! Deputy Paris wasn't so sure about the funny part of it, so he slipped out and went to Sheriff Smith's home to ask him should he hold the humorist after the show was over.?Greenville News. An Oklahoma City, Okla., juvenile court judge, told the father of a boy, 10, up for stealing, that he ought to be given a paddling with a hair brush for not giving his son better training. Dixie Laughs At Banking Holiday Atlanta, Ga., March <f.?The South tattled its pennies today and grinned. And from the lu'^y 'Susquehanna to the crawling Everglades, across the gumbo land of the Evangeline country to the twnberling plains of the Pecos, the figurative challenge was: "Are we downhearted?" The echo rolled: "No!" For the Dixie of Kings mountain, Chalmette, the Alamo and Appomatix has a sense of humor as well as the gallantry, courage and honor that have been proved on a thousand fields. Folks down here have a way of laughing when the going gets rough. Take the Ehsley (Ala.) Negro who was offered his weekly pay in scrip. His eommeht was; "I'll wait 'til the boss man gets the sho' 'nuf money, 'cause I don't want to"get messed up with that mesmerized money." Or the seven-year-old Georgia boy who slipped his family's change and bought three little chickens, so "we'll have eggs and never get hungry." The mother hugged the little fellow and cried. The father laughed out loud. The chickens were roosters,u Then there was the 90-year-otd grandmother in Mississippi?she has a trunk full of Confederate money and saw her pa's home burned in '64 ?who said disdainfully: "Humph, blood couldn't bust this country, who know money can't." And at Jackson, Miss., the white folks got worried a bit until the Negro mammy waddled in with her life savings?$250. It was musty and soiled, but it was a gift from servant to master. New Orleans street cars could be Vidden on credit. Strap hangers bought a supply of "tokens" and had them charged to their electricity bills. The fair grounds race track there used mutual betting receipts to cash checks to keep the horses fed. Everybody was in the same boat and when folks get that way they laugh and like it. The watch of Mrs. John J. Pershing has been returned to her husband after 19 years. When the home of the general was destroyed by fire at the Presidio, San Francisco, in 1911, the watch was saved by an officer, who was shortly afterwards ordered to the Philippines. He turned the watch over to a Mrs. Belvail of Napa, and she in turn recently returned the time piece to General Pershing. Mrs.j Pershing and three children lost their j "lives in the fire which destroyed the j Pershing home.

J. C. Boykin, Clerk "Hints for the Household The "U&te Dinner" From the gossip we hear, we know that the one thing you really like to do is give a "little dinner." That informal sort of dinner for a limited number of friends, where the courses are few enough to demand perfection in each. The table should be spread with the finest of damask. The flowers in the center should be in a low receptacle, so as not to interfere with the glances of the guests seated opposite ea h other. Allow space enough between places to prevent* crowding. The table should be set as follows ?the knives on the right, the forks (^?the left?one for each course, the soup spoon laid with knives, the water glass to the right, the napkin to the left. The bread and butter piatc to the right. The only holiday in March is St. Patrick's Day, ~o lot's make this '"little dinner" a green and white affair. Then grace your table with delicate ferns.
