FARMERS SHOULD NOT NEGLECT YOUNG PIGS If Baby Porkers Are to Bring Profits, They Must Have Good Food. i Clcmson College, June 17.?At this time o fthe year, when the farmer has his crops to attend to, it is easy to fall into the mistake of letting the young pigs on the farm go without proper attention. Pigs that are not cared for will not produce profits. The farmer should therefore allow nothing to make him neglect his youngswine if he hopes to make anything out of them. The pig should be provided for before its mother farrows even, by giving the sow clean quarters, which will reduce the likelihood of vermin j and disease attacking the pigs. If his J precaution was not taken, it is quite' likely, according to the extension a 11 i- J mal husbandmen of Clcmson College. that tho 1 >iJ?*<< will hpfnmn in-fn'str.vl with lice, which will handicap the pigs and reduce their vitality to such I a point that they are likely to become easy victims to disease. To control lice, use crude petroleum, either as a dip or applied to the animal by hand. It is good both as a preventive and a! remedy. A good home-made remedy is an emulsion of kerosene. Use about I one quart of kerosene to two gallons of "soapy" water. By all means, try] to rid the pigs of lice as soon as they appear. Pigs should have the range of forage crops and plenty of clean water at all times to keep them in thrifty growing condition. Patches of peanuts, peas, soy beans, rape and other grazing crops can be used at a large pro lit by letting the pig harvest them and with a proper rotation of these crops very little grain will 'oe nfeeded until the pigs are ready for the finishing pen. The greatest profits in hog raising cannot be realized unless care is taken at all times to keep the heard in a healthy and thrifty condition. o THE COW AM) HEIi PRODUCT Clomson College Weekly Notes For Farmer and Dairyman. (Thes notes are prepared weekly by the Dairy Division of Clemson College, which will be glad to answer any questions pertaining to dairying.) The dairy cow is an economical producer. Skimmilk buttermilk is cheap and easy to make. A dairy cow furnishes profitable employment every day, rain or shine, warm or cold. 11 ',c. l au.,4. < . i I L is tllUl a \Vl*ll-LOU COW saves a farmer about $ii> per year in fertility. The milker should keep his hands dry during* milking*. Milking* with damp hands is filthy and is apt lo cause a cow's teats to- chap and annoy her. Cream should be cooled just as soon as it has been separated from the milk. A simple way of cooling* is to place the can of cream in good cold water, using* ice water if possible. Fall calves are always more thrifty than spring calves, as the annoyances from flies and hot weather is much greater for calves born in spring. Hesides, it is wise to have the heavy flow of milk coming in winter, when other farm work is not so heavy. Medical men are freely recommend-j ing buttermilk for indigestion and va-' rious forms of stomach disorder. It! is said to be peculiarly suitable for persons with gout or rheumatism,! since it tends to prevent stiffening! and narrowing of the blood vessels. The Dairy Division of Clcmson Col-; lege has on hand so many requests for help in silo-building that it is certain j that this year will be the best silo year South Carolina has yet had. A silo is a sign of good dairy farming. o Card of Thanks. With the earnest desire to reach each and every one, we take this method of thanking our many friends for their sympathies and help during the illness, and at the death and burial of our dear husband and father. It is our consolation that he has only gone to receive his reward for his stewardship in the vineyard of his Lord, where we shall strive to meet him in the sweet bye and bye.

Clcmson College, June 14.?Onions are very easily grown, but the amateur gardner usually finds difficulty in keeping the mature onions from July until cold weather. Onions grown from sets never keep so well as those grown from seed, but when properly gathered and cured, they can be kept satisfactorly. However, when they are stored in moist places or where the air circulation is poor they rot badly. Onions should be harvested soon after the nock begins to shrivel and the to}) bends over and begins to turn yellow. They are pulled by hard.

The horticultural division of Clomson College advises lhat it is better to remove the tops immediately after gathering, After the onions with tops removed, are collected, they are placed in crates 3 feet wide and 4 feci long, with sides 4 inches high and j ends 5 inches high. The bottoms sides and ends of the crates arc made of narrow strips about 1 1-5 inches wide, placed about 1 inch apart. iifi i i * - - - wnen me crates have heen tilled I they are stacked one upon the othei in the shade under cover and there the onions are allowed to remain until danger of freezing comes witl fall. Then they are placed ir storage or sold. The object of having the ends ol crates an inch, higher than the sides is to afford free passage of air wher j the crates are placed one upon the , other. It leaves a good air space ' between the onions and the button ! of the crate above.

Clemson College, June 7.?There is t no better food to place in an egg mash to produce eggs in abundance than pure, wholesome cottonseed 1 meal. But a recent occurrence that | came under the observation of the poultry husbandman of Clemson College shows that the most disastrous - results will follow the use of heated meal, meal made from heated or ; moldy seed, or moldy meal. A farmer in Campobello who has ' a good reputation for selling fresh, L infertile eggs bought: some sacks of 1 cottonseed meal tagged fertilizer meal. Do mixed this with cornmeal, I ground oats and wheat shorts, aci cording to the formula of the Clem' son Egg Mash and fed it to his hens. i Within a short time he received 1 complaint that his eggs wore bad and unfit for oat. lie could * not under stand tin's, but an examination of the ' eggs through a candler showed manv l dark yolks. One of these eggs was, broken and the yolk was found to be covered with brownish-green blotches' / and dark spots. In the eggs laid in j 1 three days fifteen bad ones were ? found. These eggs were most offensive in * appearance and the condition was i brought about, says .Frank C. Hare I of Clemson College, who examined ? them, by feeding heated cottonseed * meal. Brown yolks have been re4 ported at Darlington, Greenwood and . other places. This is a most serious i defect. As one person remarked, "These eggs with brown yolks are not lit to eat. They are oerfectlv fresh and look perfectly all right in every other way." Heated or impure cottonseed meal spoils eggs and deranges the digestive organs of hens or chicks. "The person who feeds fertilizer meal to his fowls," says Prof. Hare, 1 "will do so at his own risk. Don't take chances. In summer the amount j of cottonseed meal in the Clemson I i Egg Mash can he reduced to oncI fourth of what it was in winter."

POLITICAL AGITATORS I CAPITALIZE STRIFE Neglect of Agricultural and ( Industrial Opportunities a National Crime. I By Peter Radford. I There never was a timo in the history of this nation when we needed statesmen more or agitators less thi.a at tlie present moment. The opportunities now afforded us on land and ] sea demand the best there is in statecraft and the possibilities that are onfronting us call for national issues that unite the people, build industry and expand trade. The agricultu^ and industrial development of tnis nation has suffered severely at the hands of agitators who . have sent torpedoes crashing into the port sido of business and whose neglect of the interests of the farmer makes tliem little less than political criminals. We 1 want no more of these evil spirits to predominate in government. Too long their hysterical cry has sent a shiver liown tlu> eniliol n/illimn /~v?" imlnet ?.* .. vt*v v v;i vi inti VI i 11 v i 11 n i i %> Tco long have the political agitators capitalized strife, pillaged progress aiul murdered opportunity. An industrial corpse is not a desirable thing, a crippled business an achievement or neglect an accomplishment about which any uepresentative of the govern incnt has a right to boast. Issues that Dreed Agitators Should be J Eliminated. The political agitator must be eliminated from public life before thoughtful consideration can be given to a constructive program in government. The liquor question is the most prolilic breeding ground for agitators and wneuu'r pro or anil, llie Hatch is equally as undesirable. This article is in no senso a discussion of the liquor question but deals solely and by i way of illustration with the political products of that issue. Other subjects will bo dealt with in the order of their importance. In the history of our government the liquor issue has never produced a constructive statesman worth mentioning and it never will. It has sent more fnalcs to Congress, Lilliputians to the Senato and incompetents to office than any other political issue under the sun. The recent experience of the English Parliament which lashed itself into a fury over the liquor question I has a lesson that it is well for the I farmers of this nation to observe; for the subject in some form or other is constantly before the public for sola tion and oftlimes to the exclusion of more important problems to the American plowmen. Too Many Political Drunkards. Lloyd-George, the Prohibition leader of Kurope who led the prohibition light in England. lias declared that lie will never again take a drink politically and there are many American politi' clans?pro and anti? who would render their country a service by climbing on the water wagon cr signing a pledge of political temperance. Too often our legislative halls are turned into political bar-rooms and many of the members become intoxicated on liquor discussions. Wo have too many political drunkards?pro and anti?in our public affairs, bio one who is a slave to the political liquor habit is quite so capable of dealing with the business affairs of government as the sober and industrious. We have few public men in this day who are strong OllPllf li (fi v uqii Il voioi, IIIU ill iUll U1 strong drink politically and when the demon Rum once becomes firmly entrenehed ill the mind of a politician, he is less capable of meeting the demands for constructive statesmanship now confronting this nation. Wo have in tliks country too many red-nosed politicians?both pro and anti. A candidate with political delirium tremens, a preacher with political snakes in bis boots and an agitator drunk on the liquor question are the saddest, sights in civilization and they should all be forced to take the political Keeley Cure. It is far more important in government to make it easier for those who toil to eat than to make it more difficult for a few topers to drink. There is not one person in one hundred of our rural population that over touches liquor but we all eat three times a day.

THREE I (EEP FARM RECORDS ~ I BUT READ CORRECTLY 1 3reat in Value if Understood, Bad if Looked at Wrongly mm GOOD ADVICE GIVEN 9 ON INTERESTING SUBJECT Labor Income Gives Best index to Year's Work on Farm. Advice to keep farm records is being constantly reiterated through the many sources from which the farmer obtains new ideas. Litfle is written or spoken as to the vital question of their interpretation. harm records must l>e correctly interpreted to be of value. .Moreover, they may prove a positive detriment to the farmer who interprets them wrongly and acts on his interpretation. One danger of MIO.MI1I.V i |'i v uu ivn ui I I 1)111 Liltl fact that often the accounts with the individual farm enterprises and with the farm as a whole are not studied from the same point of view, or are studied from a point of view that does not measure their true relation as agents of gain. There are three modes of measuring the relative profitableness of farm businesses, involving, respectively, the linding of (1) the farm income, (2) the farmer's labor income, and (3) the farm profit. The farm income is the amount left from the farm receipts after paying all the farm expenses; the labor income, what is left after interest on the farm capital is deducted from the farm income; and the farm profit the balance remaining after a fair allowance for the labor of the farmer is deducted from tho lnhor income. In other words, farm income is balance over expenditures and interest, and farm profit is balance over expenditures and interest and the farmer's own time. Of these three the labor income has been found to give the best index as to the work in agriculture. Capital alone can earn interest, and all that the farmer can claim to have produced by his efforts is what he has made over and above what his capital would have earned if safely invested. It therefore seems plain that the accurate point of view from which to study and interpret the farm records is their contribution to the labor income. After study of the records, if any changes in the farm make-up are planned, all sides of the effect of such changes should be carefully worked out, and it must be borne in mind mat sometimes those enterprises that yield small labor income may be very necessary to the farm economy. They may be the only methods by which the waste products, coarse roughage, etc., can be made to yield any income or help to maintain the fertility of the soil. These small yielding enterprises again may give employment to labor and capital during otherwise idle seasons. Radical changes may have farreaching effects on the entire farm economy, though disturbing the relation the various enterprises bear to each other and to the farm as a whole. It is therefore prudent to weigh carefully and view the farm records from every side before making radi cal changes in the farming system. Any desired change should be made gradually, for jumping at ronelusions v is poor business policy in farming.?
