A Zcpplin Raid Last Night. .London, April 1G.?At least two Zepplins raided the counties of Suffolk and Essex today dropping bombs within 80 miles of London. A large number of bombs were dropped on towns and villages, but no loss of life resulted. Attacks were made within a few minutes of each other at points 70 miles apart. The first was a Maiden at 12:20 a. m., by a Zepplin, which previously passed over Bprnham and South Minster. After dropping bombs at Maiden the airship tprned north and let fall more explosives at Heybridge. It may have been the same craft seen at 1 o'clock flying over Harwich in the direction of Ipwieh. A scco;gk<|%iRttack was made between 12:30 and 12:45 a. m. on Southwold, 10 miles south of Lowestoft, on the North Sea. At Lowestoft, where three bombs were dropped, a lumber yard was set < on fire, three horses were killed and many windows were broken; at Southwold, where several bombs were dropped, railway trucks were fired; at Maiden a house was struck, but only slightly damaged; at Heybridge several bombs were dropped, but no damaao has been ronnrfed A telepgram received here from I I Believing tha I. . chickens, eggs, hi possible, thus en; mentioned below elsewhere. i 55 zTxissstt VALUABLE DEVICES FOR THE MILK PLANT Automatic Apparatus fofr Controlling Temperature During Pasteuratiou Minimum Expensive. Many operators of milk plants will, in the opinion of specialists of the department, find it profitable to install a recording thermometer and an automatic apparatus for controlling the temnerafciire durine imst.eiiriv.ni inn When. pasteurization is incompletely done, lack of proper temperature control is frequently found to be the cause. Adequate control of the temperature by means of hand valves is difficult and often impossible. On the other hand there are many automatic devices which accomplish this with accuracy. Their cost is commonly less than $150 and allowing a maximum depreciation of 20 per cent and interest this makes the daily overhead expense for the regulator about 11 cents or less than the value of a man's time for one hour. As a matter of fact, without-* automatic control, a man has to spfpid the greater part of his time at tl\e steam valve if the temperature is to^be kept within the proper limits, The amount of steam required to operate the automatic device is less thaii^ that which would otherwise be wastqd. rrequent variations in temperature which it is almost impossible to prevent with hand valves, majt not only injure the cream line but produce, as well, unsatisfactory results, from the bacteriological and chemical standpoints. For this reason some of the larger cities now require the dealers to put in temperature regulators, and' there is reason to believe that others will folllow their example in the near future. * The recording thermometer is desirable as a means of self protection, as it provides a record of the temperature of the milk during the whole day's run and thus enables the superintendent to keep a reliable check on the operator at times when he. himself, is not able to be present. In case of any difficulty With customers or health officers thp record provides valuable and cbnvincing evidence. At the present time neither the recording thermometer nor automatic temperature regulator is in as general use as it should be. LUM JUNG LAUNDRY Conway, S. C. n Price List for Cleaning and Pressing.

ADVICE ABOUT TOBACC& / By One Who Knows the Wars And the Wherefores of the J Gt>?den Weed. v? / So many of ihy friends have come to mo for advijfe about planting tobacco, and have told me of so many wild rumors t?ey have heard, I fe$l it my duty tor write a letter for pub-' \ lication. There seems to be a general movement on the part of tobaceb people of the old belt4 to frighten the farmers in the belt to reduce their acreage, and at the same time let them plant what they like. I do not think this is fair. There should be co-operation. I want to say in the beginning that no one knows what tobacco will sell for the coming season. And as for that matter Vio other crop. We have three large determining factors to deal with. The- war situation, the seasons in Virgini;^, North Carolina l and South Carolina, and the fertilizer question. j Either one of these could affect the price of the coming year vefy materially. It is true that we raised a Marge crop of bright tobacco the past year. Yet when you consider the abnormal conditions under which the crop has been marketed, it has sold well. The writer has visited the North Carolina markets each month since our season closed. The desirable type of bright tobaccos have been selling well all the while. He sold South Carolina tobacco on the xt r> ?i.~i. 1^-1 tt nouii) x'f v., imuuii r toruury 12, and it sold better than it would have sold with us at any time except the first ten days on the market. There has been no change reported in the market since that time. Some grades of the old belt tobaccos, such as green tips and common fillers, have been selling very low, but all bright grades such as we grow have been and are now selling, as compared to what our crop sold for. As my friends know, I have always advised them to be conservative and to never over-crop themselves. Your cfTorts should always be to make quality and not quantity. Let your first consideration be the raising of home supplies for the entire plantation. Make your cotton and tobacco crops as near surplus prqps as possible, and make them as economically as you pan. Try to grow your tobacco for a bright crop. The colory grades are in the biggest demand. You may expect wrappers to sell real well, for they are very scarce. In conclusion I wish to say "Sit in the middle of the boat, don't loose your head." Just remember that some of the years you thought would be your best have been your worst, and when in the beginning they looked blue, they have turned out well. Let me repeat: No o.ne knows what the fuf 11l?A Urvl/I In r?4-/\VA i u i v iium in I have recently had the views of both W. H. McElveen and R. H.

When it is noted that a lien sits on the nest for two or three nights in succession, she is Jready to be transferred to a nest which should be prepared for per beforehand. This nest should be in a box and composed of stra\V, hay, to- chaff for nesting material. Pack this material down firmly and shape a ey-cular nest Out of it which should.be slightly' deeper in the center than at the edges, as a nest so shaped will prevent the ggs from rolling out from under the h$n and becoming chilled. Dust tl)e hen^thoroughly with^ insect powder. In Applying the powder, hold the hen' by the feet, head down, working the powder well into the feathers, giving special | attention to regions aroupd the vent and under the wings. Tlie powder should also be sprinkled in the nest. The nest should be in some quiet, out of-the-way place on the farm, where the sitting hen will not be disturbed. Move her from the regular laying nest at night. Handle her carefully in doing so. Put a china egg or two in the nest where she is to sit, and place a board over the opening so that she can not get off.* Toward evening of the second day, quietly go in where j she is sitting, and leave some feed and water, and remove the board from the front or top of the nest, and let the hen come oflf when she gets ready. Should she return to the nest after feeding, remove the china egg or eggs and put under those that are to be incubated. In cool weather it is best to put hot more than ten eggs under a heq, while later in the spring one can put *2 to 15, according to the of the hen.. If sev-* eral hens a?re sittingejn the same room, see that' they r^e/T?fpt?jon the nests, onlvjfipowing to come off to get feftd^and water, which should be once a day. Many eggs that are laid in the late winter and early spring are infertile. For this reason it is advisable to set several hens at the same time. After the eggs have been under the hen for seven days they should be tested to see whether thy are fertile or infertile. Infertile eggs should be removed and used at home in cooking or for omlets, and the fertile eggs should be put back under the hen. In this way it is often possible to put all the eggs that three hens originaly started to sib on under two hens and reset the other hen again. For example: Thirty eggs are set under three hens at the same tjmc, 10 under each. At the end of seven days we find on testing the eggs that 10 are infertile, which leaves us 20 eggs to reset, * which - we do by putting them under two hers and h?.vc the remaining one to set over again after she has set only seven days. A good homp-made egg tester or candler can be made from a large shoe box, or any box that is large - 1 ?- ? cuvu^ii gu uvcr <x itwnp, uy removing an end and cutting a hole'a little larger than the size of a quarter in the bottom' of the . box, so that when it is set over a confmon kerosene lamp the hole in the bottom will fOiintVy tig that you desire t 1 thing for you, as i retofore for your j >mething to sell th< >,- 4 " t MARSH, Manage] v %?? ^ - ? . ~ yrVi'TTTT-p ? ,, I iTT , M BULLETIN^.
