Humans Trouble World
With Many Defectives
All life, even In Its lowliest forms,
Is associated with reproductive cells,
asserts a writer In the petrolt News. '
In u general way the mechanics of this
process are familiar to nearly every*
one who has watched seeds growing In
tho gnfden and birds nesting,
The same thing that goes on In tho
seed and tho egg Is carried out In the
reproduction of all forms of life, including
that of human helngs. Every
farmer knows thut If he plants a row*
of yellow corn beside a .row of white
com that the ears produced in the new
crop will he mixed with yellow and
white kernels In the same ears of corn.
The pollen from the white corn fertilizing
tho seed colls of the yellow
corn carries with It tho white characteristic
and the offspring of that union
becomes both yellow and white.
Now sometimes this fateful principle
works wonders for the race. If a
great father and a great mother each
contribute to their offspring something
of their greatness, the result is a tine
improvement upon what has been in
the world before. Hut the trouble is
that tho principle works with terrible
certainty in tho opposite direction too.
If a criminal father contributes of bis
criminal tendencies and a half-wit
mother contributes her Instability of
intelligence and character, tho world
Is cursed with a creature who may run
a long course of destructive activities
and heap lip. woe and costs upon society
beyond all reckoning. And worse
still, he may and probably will take
unto himself If mate the counterpart
of himself In vtciousncss and thus
pnss on to generations to come an everwidening
circle of Imbeciles, morons,
and low-browed criminals.

Crow Family, Swan and '
Geese Have Long Life
The birds that live the longest are
mejmbers of the crow tribe, and the
swans and geese. A swan has been
known to live, one hundred and fifty
years. The length qf life of smaller
birds such as the titmice and warblers
would probably be six or eight years,
but there Is a doubtful record of a
sparrow living for forty years.
Many birds return to the same spot
for nesting, season after season, and
because these sites have been used
continuously for a great number of
years observers hnve concluded that
this tells their age. But a pair of
birds may use a site for say, six years,
'until one dies; then the survivor obtains
another mate and takes it to the
old site. A few years later the other
bird dies, and another mate Is found,
and so within fifty years a dozen different
birds may use the same nesting
site.---Tit-Blts Magazine.

Hardy Youngsters
Most young birds, when they leave
i the shell, are rather helpless. It may
be many days before they are able to
use their limbs, but the young Norfolk
plovers can run with ease a few hours
after they emerge from the eggs.
These youngsters, which live on the
ground, have many enemies, but Nature
has clothed them In sand-colored
down with several black lines, and it
would be difficult to find a more cleverly
camouflaged creature. The lnstunt
danger threatens each youngster
will squat flat on the ground and remain
motionless until the "all-clear"
note from the parents Is heard. If
they should be attacked by a stoat or
weasel, the mother will play the
broken wing trick.?Tit-Bits Magazine.
Meaning of Horse Power
Horse power is an arbitrary unit
for measuring mechanical" energy, and
one horse power Is equal to the power
It would take to lift 33,000 pounds ope
foot in one minute. Indicated horde
power Is the power derived Inside a
cylinder of an engine ns calculated
from the various known factors, while
brake horse power Is the actual power
delivered by an engine or motor. By
practical test It was found that the
average horse could work constantly
at an average rate of 22,000 foot
pounds per minute, and this was increased
one half when arbitrarily
made a unit of measurement.?Pathfinder
Magazine.
Living Ex-Preaidenta
The largest number of former Presidents
out of oftlce and living at any
one time was In the period from tho
retirement of Buchanan In Mnrch,
1861, to the death of Tyler in January]
1802, when Van Buren, Tyler, Filmore]
Pierce and Buchanan were all in the
land of the living. Twice at short intervals
the country has been without
an ex-President. The country was left
without a former chief executive the
first time from the death of Johnson.
July 31, 1875, to the retirement of
Grant. March 4. 1877. and the second
time from the death of Cleveland, June
24, 1908, to the end of Itoosevelt's
term, March 4, 1909.
Still a Mystery Disease
Leprosy has been one of the dread
mystery diseases of all time. It Is
still among the least understood and
most feared of all physical afflictions
in spite of the centuries of unceasing
and untiring effort put forth to discover
the cause and effect a cure. Ji*"t
when and where It first manifested *
self is a matter that the archives of
antiquity have never disclosed with
any satisfying certainty. That It flourished
In the delt* .of the Nile in the
dawn of civilization has been definite- ly
established. Excavators have
brought to light the fact that it was
known there some 4000 years B. C.

Can Raise Good Mules
Profitably In The State
% ??????
Clemson College, Nov. 4.?The
opinion held by some that good mules
cannot be raised in South Carolina
i#; a mistaken one, thinks Prof. L. V.
Starkey, chief animal husbandman
here, who states that some of the best
mules that have ever been on the
Clemson College farm were homeraised.
He insists that many farms
in the state arc well adapted to mule
production.
Regarding the supply-demand situation
on work stock Prof. "Starkey
quotes Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of
the Horse Association of America, indicating
that overproduction is unlikely
during the next ten years:
"Taking the United States as a
whole we have been producing only
about half as many horses and less
than one-third as many mules as we
have lost annually for the past Ave
years.
"It will not pay to engage in raising
horses or mules purely for market
purposes; but it will pay any
farmer who is located in a section
that is well suited to raising horses
and mules, and who is a good judge
of horses and mules and who understands
their care, to raise enough
colts for replacement purposes, so
that he can sell each year the work
animals that are five to six years old/'
As to South Carolina, Prof. Starkey
has this to say on the question "are
we prepared to raise our own horses
and mules, particularly mules, since
mules are more generally used?" *
"Of course we do not have on hand
the mares from, which mules could
be raised. Furthermore, our farm
help is used to handling mules and
wpuld probably not give horses the
care which they need. We are also
short on the kind of fences and pastures
which are essential in mule
production.
"Tn this connection, it should be
stated that mule colts need a pas-*
ture to themselves. If pastured with
sheep, swine or even cattle they are
prone to chase these animals over
the pasture and make life very un
comfortable for them.
tv "Hut after all is considered it must
be realized that some farmers would
do well to raise their mules and have
a few to sell cacl^year."
Notice to Grist Mill Operators
Federal processing and other taxes
with respect to field corn are effective
as of'November B, 1033.
In order to secure the revenue due
the government under the Agricultural
Act it is imperative that the
United States Collector of Internal
Revenue for South Carolina have a
complete list of processors of field
corn. GJJhe processor of field corn ia
the individual or firm that operates
a grist mill for the grinding of field
corn. The size of the mill is of no
consequence. The small farmer who
operates a grist mill, whether regularly
or occasionally, is subject to
tills tax as the processor, according
to Collector of internal Revenue.
This is to request, therefore, that
all grist mill operators and all other
processors of field corn in Kershaw
county file their names and addresses
with the county agent in Camden as
soon as possible in order that they
may be duly credited witq complying
with this government requirement for
listing themselves as ^processors of
field corn, according to Henry D.
Green, the county agent.
Herman Welhelm Goering, Prussian
premier and national minister, on
Saturday at Berlin, bitterly denounced

Marshall, his face bruised and showing
considerable evidence of a beating,
