A number of banks in the South
which have found it profitable to help!

found that it is a good investment to
lend money to the boy and girl members
of the pig clubs with which to
buy good young sows. This new

take an interest in agriculture seems

to have started m Ai'Kansas and lias
spread to other States. It is very
* active in Georgia, where in 10 of the
14 counties in which the pig-club
work is now being carried on the
banks have offered to lend money to
junior members for the purchase of
pure-bred pigs. In other counties
wealthy residents, seeing the advantage
of the plan, are also assisting the
children with loans.
In some instances the indorsement
^ of* the member's parent or guardian is
required when a loan is made, in others
no security is asked. In all of
the counties, however, each boy v.ho
borrows is required U grow one acre
of corn sc as to have abundant feed,

County, Ga., last year loaned as high
4 as $10 each to boys over their own

in a frw instances did the borrowers
ask for an extension of time.
This movement by the banks instills!
thrift into r , boys and often starts!
them -with oank accounts. One bank
in Macon has set aside $500 this year
to loan to boys vrho wish to purchase
. pure-bred piivs. Recently a well-todo
farmer came into the bank and Indorsed
hi-1 son's nt c:e for $10. The
cashier asked him why he did it when
he had a substantial ' becking account
of his own in the hank. "Oh, i just
wanted to see how the boy handles
tliis obligation. If lie does not pay it,
I will, but it will bo worth $10 to me
to know what kind of boy 1 have," re^
plied the farmer.

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL

By Peter Radford.
Tho recent investigation of the
United States Commission of Industrial
Relations brought together the
extremes of sbciety and has given the
public an opportunity to view the representatives
of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over gulfs of
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furnishing
the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to iind them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each other's souls, it always makes

The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there is
110 authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no decree
quite so binding as that of the
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the lightning
flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals of discontent.
Hut Understanding is a Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.
A man's income is always a sacred
thing for in it are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself, and family,
but there is nothing in a human
heart quite so divine as Justice and
Understanding is its handmaiden.

COW AND HER PRODUCT
Clemson College Weekly Notes For
Farmer and Dairyman.
(The? notes are prepared weekly
by the Dairy Division of Clemson Col
ege which will be glad to answer any
questions pertaining to dairying.)
Cream must have a good flavor to
bring the best price.
A quart of milk is equal in food value
to ten eggs or eleven ounces of fat
round beef.
Dairying is a branch of agriculture
that gives profitable employment on
the farm the year round.
If you feed a cow only enough to
keep her alive do not expect her to
produce large quantities of milk. Underfed
cows are* unprofitable cows.
tiood butter can be made of any
farm, but to make good butter requires
careful handling from the time the
milk is taken from the cow until the
cream is churned.
Cleanliness is the most important
factor in preserving a good flavor in
cream. Be sure the milk is clean in
the first place. Then use utensils that
have been thoroughly cleansed .
No man could perform good work
on bread and meat only, day in and
day out. Neither can a dairy cow do
good work on a one-sided feed. Feed
a balanced ration and plenty of it.
Use the pure-bred sire on your
dairy cows. It is the quickest and
most economical way to develop a
good dairy herd. In six generations
you can get calves that are 98 per
cent pure bred.
Dairying educates the farmer who
will give his thought to it. No branch
of farming pays better returns for
care and ' thought and skill. The
Dairy farmer's profits are in proportion
to the thought and efforts he
puts into his work.
If you have not enough cows to
make a silo nav. prow roof pvnne tn
supply succulent feed in winter. Mangel
wurzels, stock beets and turnips
are good crops for this purpose.
Any farmer who expects to carrj*
ten or more cows through next winter
should be making preparations now
io build a silo. Silage is the most
economical winter succulent feed. Silage
information will be furnished bv
W
the dairy division of Clemson College.
Keep a record sheet for your dairy
herd. Record the daily feed and pro
I auction or each cow. Then, bv having
I
the milk tested for butter fat, occasionly
you will know which of your
cows are profitable and which are

WHY MILK AND BUTTER
ARE SOMETIMES YELLOW
Experiments Show That Richness
!)o??s Not Increase With Color.
The belief that a bright yellow color
in milk means richness in quality *
is not true. Experiments conducted
at tho College of Agriculture of the 1
University of Missouri show that the \
change from white cream and butter
in winter to yellow cream and butter
in spring and summer does not indicate
increased fat percentage. The
very highest colored milk that a cow
can give may have the lowest fat percentage.
Such a condition is found in
the so-called colostrum milk, the first
milk that a cow gives after giving
birth to a calf.
The explanation of the wide difference
between 'the results of the experiments
and the popular belief in
regard to the relation of color to rich*
ness lies in the cause of the natural
yellow color of cream and butter. It
was found that cows were out able to
produce the yellow coloring matter
for their cream and butter. The coloring
matter must be derived from
the feed. The yellow coloring matter
of milk was found to be the identical
with a yellow coloring matter that is
widely distributed in plants and fresh
grass.
This coloring matter is called carotin.
It takes the name from the carrot,
where it is very abundant, and
where it was first discovered by scientists
more than one hundred years
ago.
The difference in the color of cream
and butter in winter and spring was
found to be due to the fact that the
winter feeds contain little or no carotin.
No marked increase in the fat
percentage accompanies the increase
in color when foods rich in carotin
are fed. It has been shown that the
average cow gives a higher percent
of fat in its milk during the winter
than in spring and summer.Progros:

Every city lias its chamber of commerce

purpose of such an organization is
to study economic and business or

enterprises which will help to build

In Germany they already have such
organizations. They are generally
called the "landwirthschaftsrath" or

When you see a man who says,

to be patient if she is little
