I MULE WILL GIVE WATERWORKS $150 Will Give You Lights, $25 a A Kitchen Cabinet, etc. For the price of a plug mule a pump, a small gasoline engine, and fa a 500-gallon tank lor the compressed- v< air water-system may be installed on st any farm. 0i For the expenditure of $150 a car- CI bide lighting system, with electric battery lighting appliances, may be a, provided. te t For $25 a modern kitchen cabinet can be placed in the kitchen, and the addition of $12 will put Jn the fireless ecooker with radiators and aluminum C1 cooking utensils. m $ The expenditure of something like a S9 for a telephone and $5 per mile p: for wire and insulators will be suf- 7 ficient to secure telephone connec- g, tions. n; Fifteen or twenty dollars gets the tl washing machine, and the price of a n: , dish washer is not prohibitive. ei You can eke out an existence with- f? out owning any of the things I have mentioned. . They are not absolute C] necessities. For instance, as long as a farm woman is able to get about c] Bhe can walk to the spring or well a tc dozen times a day and carry the wa- fj ter to the house. It is true a gasoline c< engine and air (compressed) may u place the water ready to "turn on" in the cook room, and the engine h; doesn't get tired like the woman. The t< only consolation we have in this case 0l is that it is possible for the woman ^ to stop and re6t if she .gets too tired Cj * to keep going. We can also get along ^ with dim oil lights if the faithful 0l farm woman isn't too busy with other fi drudgeries to keep the lamp chimneys S( cleaned every day. Even with, a 0 smoked lamp chimney the school a children can review their lessons by getting close enough to the lamp. If 0 >. reading by inferior lights damages c] the eyes we have eye specialists that ^ are anxious, to serve us, if we have j] the price. Carbide light is the near- C( est approach to sunlight and it is not S( as hard on the eyes as electric lights. 0 but with the automatic burners it is S) Just as convenient and less expen- p sive than electric lights. This is a f, practical light for country homes. A n kitchen cabinet, properly equipped. w will save perhaps as much walking as a water supply in the cook room. e; And unless we specially want our S( ^ wives to do all this unnecessary walk- q ing, just for their health, it is poor p s economy to do without a kitchen cab- Si inet at a cost of $25 or $30. w And again, we are not compelled g to have telephones in our homes. We p can get along without this modern -.Anne nnmmnmVati/in with nil r Uicauo Ul VVUiUi uu'VMViv- " .... ? ^ neighbors. Before the telephone was b invented and before the rural mail Ci system was envolved we got along v v without them somehow, didn't we? d We can figure out the cost of provid- tl ing modern rural conveniences, but f, / nobody can figure out exactly what it u costs to do without them. We can get a along without running water in the jj house and barn until after we have it p and realize what it means, and then 0 we consider it a necessity. Wa can t( get along without the rural telephone system until we get the benefit of this service in our homes, and then we can't get along without it. In fact, T the only folks who can get along r without these conveniences, and remain satisfied, are those who have ^ * never known what it is to have them. 0 We have only one life to live and v we ought to make that life worth liv- ^ ing. Inventions that save laoor ana h give more time for comfort, recrea- tl tion and the acquirement of more knowledge, ought to be utilized by Q the human race and thereby made the v means of "better living" and a better _ / civilization. Thousands of farmers Ci who are able to provide all the con- p veniences I have mentioned, and p more, are miserly hoarding their lit- j tie surplus or investing it in more a land, while their home conveniences b are no better than their ancestors en- b joyed 50 years ago, and they keep up j, the greedy and miserly struggle until r, * they pass off the stage c action, and w never know anything but voluntary industrial slavery- Going to the oth- v er extreme, I have seen farmers who j. strained themselves financially to buy n automobiles so that they might carry n their families on occasional pleasure s; trips, when for the expenditure of a tj much less amount any of these farm- n ers could have put all the following p things in the home: v f 1 W7 otor ^ K 2. Lights; e 3. Telephones; d ^ 4. Kitchen cabinet; b 5. Fireless cooker; e 6. Modern cooking range; 7. Washing machine. r Their motives may be good, but ii cases of t"his kind represent errors of t< judgment. Efforts to provide labor- n ? saving conveniences that enter into tl daily use should come ahead of the 1; effort to get ah automobile. f; Don't buy from a traveling agent, c if you can do any better. A water or p lighting system installed by an agent c usually costs at least 60 per cent, f; more than it should cost. However, i< an agent has all sorts of prices and ti if you know what you are buying and w know what it should be sold at, you h nr I CLOVER IS SOIL BUILDER Iso Has Excellent Feed Value? Time of Planting. \ Clemson College, Aug. 25?When irmers have been successful witl ?tch or burr clover, they shoulc ick to these crops. However, an :her good winter cover crop i: imson clover. This is the advice o: \V. Long. State agent o: gmonstration and director of ex ;nsion of Clemson College. l mess conuuions 01 sun a.nu uiujo ire are exactly right, it is not ai isv matter to obtain a stand o imson clover. This plant shoult ot be seeded on land that has no good "season" in it or unless th< rospect of rain is most favorable he seed are very small and it re aires very little moisture to germi ate them and if they germinate anc tere is not sufficient moisture t< iake them grow off, the hot sui i$ih kills them. For this reason i/mevs should be exceedingly care il about conditions under which thi: op is seeded. The best time to seed crim60j lover is from September 1 to Oc >ber 1; for the Piedmont, preferable *om September 1 to 15. The lowe >unties of the State may seed i p to the middle of October. Sow the seed by hand or with < ? > a -- ? -i 1 r oa ana seeuer, using 1 u lu ~<j puuuu; > the acre, harrowing in lightly. In culation is absolutely essential fo: lis crop. Use either the commer ial inoculation material or that t< e secured free from the Departmen f Agriculture, or use soil from ; eld which has grown red or crim on clover, broadcasting 500 pound f this inoculating soil to the acr* nd harrowing in immediately. It generally requires two years t( btain a satisfactory crop of crimsoi lover and farmers should not b< iscouraged by failure the first year I they will bear in mind the climat onditions mentioned above and wil sed the same piece of land the sec nd year thev are almost certain t< ?cure a crop. By seeding the 6ami iece of land the third year a success II crop will be abolutely assured ; is only necessary to persever ith this crop to succeed. Crimson clover makes an excellen arlv pasture and as a crop for rapii oil renovation it has no superior Irowing this crop also changes th ' * - r T ??? nysicai conaiuon ui sun. uuu? and becomes more compact loam ith a greater moisture capacity tiff clays become more open am liable. The feeding value of crimsoi lover hay is equal to that of th est cowpea or red clover hay. bu are should be taken to cut the clo er at the right time, otherwise it i angerous to feed. Cut for hay wliei tiree-fourths of the stems are ii all bloom. If allowed to remaii ntil bloom begins to turn browi nd is then cut, hair balls will forn 1 the stomach of the animal fed an* ossibly kill it. The average yieli f crimson clover hay is one to tw< ans to the acre. UNCLE SAM TO BUY SILVER. o Offset Decreased Demand as Re suit of War.
