Becommendations for fettering
Agriculture.
David F. Houston, Secretary of
Agriculture, in his annual report to
congress Indicates a number of Im
portant measures necessary for tho
betterment of agriculture, both on
’the production and marketing sides;
and for the conservation of tho re-
sourceo of the nation. These meas
ures await the consideration and ac
tion of the congress**nd Involve:
1. Legislation designed to promote
the . better handling and storage of
farm products and the trading on the
basis of fixed grades and standards,
including a permissive warehouse
act and provision for a market news
servire to obtain and disseminte ac
curate information regarding crop
movements and prices.
2. A land mortgage banking act
which shall inject business methods
ipto the handling of farm finance gtod
place farm securities upon tho mar
ket in a responsible way.
... 3. Assistance to. communitfes'near
the national forests In road building
and. similar Improvements through a
plan involving the advancement of
funds for these receipts from the for
ests. This action would promote local
development of agriculture and other
resources.
4. Authority to grant water power
permits within the national forests
for fixed periods. Such authority un
doul>tedly would aid water power
utilization.
5. The classification of the remain
ing public grazing lands to determine
their character and to secure infor
mation upon which to base plans for
their future improvement and use.
6. Authority for the sale of lands
as profitable in farming as in mer
chandising or banking. Certain it is
that the farmer'will'losA nothing by
giving some of tils spare tinre this
winter to looking ahead.

provision against alienation cf those

7. More effective control over the
production of hog chplera serlum. To
acL-ompllsh t this purpose, a definite
plan, invtflviug the establishment by
the federal-government of a station
for testing all serum intended for

9. The continuance of appropria
tions for the purchase of forest lands
fn tho Appalachian and White Moun
tains until areas sufficient to be In
fluential In prete -ting these regions
are acquired. «
The report also recommends that
the present unwise distribution of
authority between the departments of
commerce and agriculture over fur-
bearing animals In Alaska be corrects
ed, and that'ce tain amendments nec
essary to the effective adiyinlstration
of'the Alaska game law be adopted,
in addition, suggestions arc made for
improvement in the methods of col
lecting and publishing statistics relat

view. •
prises, among them the fact that this
stdte has even fewer silos than had
been supposed. It is probably the first
time that a systematic state-wide silo
census has been taken in South Caro
lina. It had been generally supposed
'that there were between 200 and 250
silos in the state. The figures gath
ered hp the dairy agents show that
the total is only 189.
Moreover, had the census been
taken last year, it would have shown
only .117 silos, the increase during
this year having been larger than in
any other year. During the summer
of 1915*, 72 silos were built In South
Carolina. The dairy agents of the
Extension Division of Clemson Col
lege gave assistance in the const ruc-
tion of 63. ot these. Most of them
were htiiTT through the influence of
these agents and of the county dem-
onstration agents.
The leading silo county is Darling- 1
ton, whibh had 12 silos before and
built 12 this summer, making 24.
Second is Greenville, which had 5 be
fore and built six The new silos are
well scattered over the state.
Silos in use fn South Carolina are
as follows:

'Quantity to Feed.
Let the daily feed consist of one
pound of concentrates (such feeds as
cotton seed meal, wheat bran, rice
meal, etc.) fcfr'every 3 or 4 pounds
of milks produced daily. For exam
ple, if a cow is giving IS pounds of
milk daily, feed about 6 .pounds*'bT
concentrates eaclt da ; . Feed what
roughage' (sucti fe^ds as silage, hays,
stover, etc.) the cow will clepn up.
When silage is available,'about 30
pounds per day may be fed. Some
dry roughage should supplement si
lage, as 10 to 15 pounds of cowpea
—|-b a &_ corn stover, crab grass hay, or
similar dried-feed. ^
If both cotton seed hulls and some
hay or other home grown roughage
ar$; jtyailable, do not feed more than
10 to 15 pounds of the hulls.
(lean up the Orchard.
Farmers do Qdt, as n rule, realize
the value of cleaning up the orchard
during winter. Many insects and
fungus diseases which would make
trouble the following season can be
destroyed In the cold months. First
remove all trash and burn It. thereby
destroying the insects that are lying
dormant. Then remove frog) the or
chard all mummied fruits. Old, rot
ten peaches, apples, plums, and other
fruits, whether on the tree or on the
ground, contain millions of spores
which are capable of spreading dis
eases to the next crop of fruit.

Long Winter Nights Offer Reading
Time. ^
During the bad weather of winter,
when Uia almost impossible to work
out doors and when there Is little
work to be done tn the fields in com
parison with other seasons, farmers
have an opportunity to give some of
theltkiime to two things that many of
them neglect almost.entirely. One
of these tilings is- to plan carefully
for the next season, the other is to
absorb ■hnawledge from the printed
matter that is now to he had in such
abundance.

» -Black Tongue of Dogs.
The -disease - known as. Hack
tongue. w:hirh is apparently peculiar
to the Southern states, results In a
heavy mortality among dogs in that
section. Many valuable hunting dogs
have been lost from this cause. As
the name indicates, there is an In
flamed and swollen condition of the
tongue, which may assume a dark
color. Such inflammation is not con
fined to the tongue, but may involve
the mtembrafies of the mouth gen
erally, and extend to the throat, caus
ing great difficulty in swallowing.
In fact, usually the~flrst symptoms
observed by owners of affected dogs
are the profuse flow of saliva from
the mouth, disinclination to masti
cate food, and difficulty In swallow
ing. The breath becomes offensive,
the animal is more or less feverish,
and as the disease progresses, he be
comes greatly prostrated; this condi
tion of weakness being aggravated
through inability of the dog to take
nourishment. ' T - r . —
In a tpajority of <;ases the disease
terminates' in death, ‘and treatment
appears to be of little avail except
when applied In the very early
stages.
Various methods of treatment have
been employed. According to spe-'
cialists of the United Statek depart
ment of agriculture, it” appears that
the best results are, obtained by the
prompt use of disinfectants in the
niduth of the affected animal before
thd disease has advanced to any ap
preciable extent. For this purpose
ofTe 'o\ince of “alkaline antiseptic,"
which Van be procured from a drug
gist, nia^' b6 added to two ounces of
distilled water, the resulting mix
ture to be sprayed into the-mouth
with a small syrjnge.
Washing of. the mouth with a
solution of potassium perfhanganate,
one- part to five hundred parts of
water, three times daily may (also
prove beneficial. . ■
.An offensive diarrhea is frequent
ly associated with the disease, and
to relieve this cohdition it is advs-
able to administer five-grain doses of
aalol four times daily, or zinc-sul-
phocarbolate in doses of from five 1 to
twenty grains several times dally.
If the dog Is upable to eat, a mix
ture of egg and milk should be given
at least twice dally, by pouring It
into the animal’s mouth.
In view of the possible Infectious
nature of the disease, prompt re
moval of un affected dog from other
canines and a careful and frequent
disinfection of the kennels is recom-
mended.
