FARM LOAN REA HELD IH CAPITAL STANDARD PAGE SEVEN Cow Should Be Fed Sufficient Balanced Ration to Produce Maximum Amount ^pf Milk Clemsoo rdlleg#. S. C. Liberal feeding of dairy cowa i# nec essary for profftable production. Cows are feed for two purposes; body main tenance and milk production. A great many farmers in South Carolina keep cows which are fed only sufficient feed* to enable them to perform theit own functions, such .as heating the body, pumping the blood, digesting the feed and moving about. Cows fed only such "niaimena'iice rations*’ are nec essarily money losers or *boarder8. M The cow can produce milk without loss of body weight only after she has been fed a sufficient amount to maintain her body functions, ^and a surplus from which to manufacture the milk. The maintenance ration is a fixed charge, and the more feed a cow can consume above that required foe main tenance. the greater the amount of fe. d available for milk production. From the standpoint of economical production, one can afford to give a cow all the f< ed she will consume without gaining In weight, and no more. A good cow will generally lose in w ight in the early part of the lac tation period and gain in the latter part. Stub cows snonld be fed lib erally with the assurance that they will pay for the extra feed during the next lactation period. The most common mistake made in this state is that of not feeding tho cows in summer when on pasture. Even with the vety best pasture a cow cannot give her maximum produc tion on pasture alone. Cows giving 20 pounds or more of milk should have at least 3 pounds of grain feed even when on the best, pastures* .When pasture Is poor and flies are bad the cows will return a profit on more grain feed th.-ui the aliove. and should receive it. Tim best dairymen in the state are begin ning to realize the value of summer silage, and are building silos of small diameter for summer- feeding. When the grass is short and flies worry the cows so that they cannot feed as tkdV should on grass, a sflo for summer feeding is good insurance. If it is found unnecessary to use the silo dur ing the summer, it can he scaled up and the silage fed the following winter. The bc>t roughagix feeds to be fed with : ilage in this- state arc alfalfa, n ( 'over, veU U. < owpea hay and UNUSUALLY FOREHANDED IN,ANNOUNCING CAN DIDACIES OUT FOfc GOVERNOR One Also Announced for the Hen- % ate—TonjcrcttMional • Prospects. Columbia, Oct. 30.—The politic ians have begun to buzz in South Carolina one jrear earlier than us ual. The State fair just before an election is the usual time for an nouncements on the part of candi dates. However, this year, hardly a month after the election th.e of fice.seekers began to get Into play. The fair just over furnished many near political thrills. The first announcement of importance was that by W, I*. Pollock, of rheraw. that he would certainly be a capdidafe fo* the United States Senate to succeed Senator H,. ^H. Tillman. A. S. Lever, member of tin* House from the Seventh Con gressional ilistriit*. has iiMm groom ing for this place for several years. He " as busy .speaking for Wilson in •he West and did not get down t> the Statg fair. The I’.lease forces field a big jubi lation meeting in Columbia for ■•get-together*’ p\'puses and it is iniu tii ally certain that Mr. Illease will be in the race for Governor in "•IS. Thomas-H. Peeples, strong Iiler.se leader, now serving as at torney general, has already an nounced that he will t>e a candidate for Govs' nor, regardless of who is in tiie race. John G.

By planting varieties that'ripen in succession, fresh fruit may be had from farly spring until late In tho summer. In the early fall, until the first of November, is the best time to set the plants.

This was done to protect the Colleton Coun ty Fair, as it was thought that-so many persons would come to a eir t UB. especially if it came to town just before tbe fair, that it would prove x/\\ detrimental to the fair.

Of tbe various methods of training strawberry runners, the hill system is without doubt the most satisfactory ' for he home grower. The plants are | placed 14 to 18 inches apart in the row. and all runners kept removed, ex cept a few trained with the row ta produce new plants. Not quite m many berries will be produced as with boom of the matted row systems, but they will be much larger and of superior quality. H Is well during the first sea son to pinch off all tbe fruiting stems as they appear in order that the en tire strength of the plant may be di rected to the development of the crown and leayes. By the end of the season, the plants should have thick broad crowns, each holding the rudi ments of several stalks of berries and containing plaint food In sufficient quantity to produce a maximum crop the second season.
