jDairy Herd Needs
Godd Summer Care
-? *
Keeping and management of the
dairy herd from now until fall will
have an important bearing on milk
production during the fall months
when there is demand for a greater!
volume of milk, says County Agent,!'
W C. MeOarley.
Milk production last October, for,
the averuge of all I>ajry Herd Improvement
Association herds ill'
South Carolina was 6 per cent below I
the average for the year and 13 per
cent below the peak production of 1
April, *the agent points out. The 8ep-|
tember-December average was 4 per(
cent below the year's average and
11 per cent below the April peak.'
This trend is representative of what
happens each year.
In explanation and suggestion the
agent says:
^ A study of the BH1A herd records
shows that most of the members tend:
to depend a little too heavily upon
grass through the summer mouths, j
In many cases herds are underfed
at this time of the year on through
the summer, then in the fall when]
there is demand for a greater volume
of milk these same herds are considerably
overfed. Especially is this true
among the herds that produce milk
for retail. The cows do not respond
to this overfeeding immediately but
continue to go down In production
for some time after the heavy feeding
Is begun; then production levels out
or gradually Increases up to the flush
period again in the spring.
Very careful feeding and management
can keep these ups and downs
to a minimum although It is practically
Impossible to entirely eliminate
them.
If there Is a surplus of milk now
It would be much better to dry off
some of the cows that are near the
end of their lactation.And feed those
that will still be milking in the fall at
a rate sufficient to maintain body
weight and furnish nutrients necessary
for normal production so that
they will be producing at a higher
Jevel during the fall. Such a procedure
will give the cows that are
to freshen In the fall a longer rest
and leave .them In better condition
for fall freshening.

Better Home Living
! By AH-Year Garden
Clemsou. July 16.?A higher stand
aid of living for fartu ' families at
lower coat of living can bo had by
growing a good gardei^ In which all
available spare la kept producing
throughout the growing season, says
K. H. Haw I. Clemsou extension horticulturiat.
As soon as one crop Is removed, another
should take Its place, Kawl advises.
If the soil has been built up
with lime, manure, and fertiliser, as
It should be, much of that Increased
fertility will still be there after the
first crop is harvested. The best way
to make use of this Increased fertility
is to keep producing vegetables
that will have time to mature this
fall. If desirable, make further applications
of thoroughly decomposed
stable manure,
Furthermore, every vegetable has a
time in its development when Its quality
and flavor are at their best, he
points out, suggesting that successive
plantings of the same crop be made
as a means of providing a continuous
supply of high quality vegetables
throughout the growing season. It is
not advisable, however, to follow a
crop with another planting of the
same crop.
Karly crops which occupy the
ground for only part of the season,
and which may be followed by other
vegetables include snap beans, bush
lima beans, beets, cabbage, radishes,
carrots, sweet corn, lettuce, peas,
early potatoes, apluach, and cucumbers.
I^ate crops which' may be used
to follow these early vegetables include
snap beans, beets, carrots, cabbage,
collards, kale, lettuce, radishes,
spinach, and turnips.
Top-dressings of nitrate of sodu will
encourage the growth 6T crops.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH
Ho Is a part of niy childhood?the
village blacksmith at tha toot of the
hill. It wus thero that I saw the first
.sparks fly. the flrat mule shod, the
fir at tire shfuk. He made grain cradles
for moat of the Dutch Pork. The
snoods (handles) he fuahloued from
young ash cut at the right also and
aoaaon from the creek bottoms.
Floods, lancets or something put a
natural bond near the ground In evcry
one selected, and It made a perfectly
balanced anood for the cradle.
All he bought waa the blade?-every
other delicate part he fashioned out
of wood and metal. And when he
i finished one and varnished It, It was
a work of art.
Prom the old bladea he made butcher
knives and scythe bladea that were .
the prld$ of every one who owned
one. 1-For
the young folks he would take
a pair of old buggy axles and wheels,
cut the wheels down and shorten the
axles, and from there make the othbr
parts af a perfect mluature wagon
that would iaat a lifetime.
Thero waa little that this good man
of the stojne hills could not make
of wood and iron. If the hinges, or
lock, or part of any sort broke In
the Fork he waa the one that usually
fixed It. He did marvelous welding
with no apparatus but his forge, anvil,
hammer, a little welding powder, and
his strong arm. ?
He worked for what i now would
be considered a pittance, was honest
to the last degree, and held the re-,
spect of three generations that grew
up around him..
I>ast week he died at 80. I last
saw him four month ago and he was
planting gourds In an abandoned hog
pen? the gourds to be put up as
usual the following spring <for the
martins to nest in and keep the hawks
away. Time had slowed hiB gait, tout .
he was still active and the sinews
of his arms still looked as strong as-??
steel. He promised to make one of
his famous little wagons if I could
find him the old buggy axles and!
wheels, and I had not found them
when he passed on.
Thus passes a sturdy character?
the last of the old folks that formed
the backbone of the rural civilisation
.where I grew up. I know yott
have similar memories of those stout
men who chewed out ther existence
back In those days when life was not
time to live. The avenues of memory
traveled rampant back through the
years as I sat through his funeral.
I thought of what a fine world this
would be If we all used our OftftOftuntof
life, and did our Jobs as well?J, .
