SOW BERMUDA GRASS
FOR BEST PASTURAGE
?
Plant Once Considered a Weed
Now Recognized as Best
Pasture Grass.
J I
^ Clemson College, July 5.?No South
Carolina farmer who has or hopes to
have cattlo and heps and who has no
good pasturage for them should let
the summer pass without sowing Bermuda
grass for permanent pasturage.
This plant, long considered as only a
weed, is now coming into its own in
all the Southern states and is being
recognized us perhaps Die best pas^
ture grass for the South.
Bermuda grass, like all other plants
will grow best when treated best. The
better the land on which it sown,
the quicker wil1 it establish a sod and
the more luxuriantly will it grow.
Some one has defined a Southern, pasture
as "a place with a fence around
it win re grass won't grow." This is
c
not the kind of place in which to sow
* Bermuda grass.
Spring is the best season of the
year for sowing Bermuda, as it is resistant
to heat, draught and trampling
of live stock, but is very suscep1
A tib^i to frost, it should, therefore,
fcT be well established before frost. Howf
ever, good results can be obtained in
this state under favorable condintons
u S bv Sftwiiii' now nnd it rs hotter for a
man to sow Bermuda now than not at
all. if he is in need of pasturage.
Clem son College doern't recommend
the sowing of Bermuda seed. It is
expensive and is generally difficult
to establish a good sod from the seed.
Use either the roots or pieces of Bermuda
sod. The roots may be bought
fiv/m seed houses.
* There are two common ways of
sowing. One is to broadcast the roots
and then harrow them :n. The other
way is to sow in furrows two to three
feet apart dropping the roots about
to IS inches apart in the furrow. After
the root cuttings are dropped, they
should be covered with soil.
One of the best pastures for South
Carolina is made by sowing Bermuda
grass in spring or early summer and
sowing burr clover in the Bermuda in
early 'tall.
Ainde from its value as a pasture
grass, Bermuda is valuable for sowing
on steep hillsides and gullies to prevent
soil from washing;. It makes a
trucK, poweriui sod, .wrncn serves 10
hold the fertility in land.

FISH BY THOUSANDS FOR
PEE DEE RIVERS AND LAKES
Through the influence of Congressman
Rugsdale, a shipment of more
than fifty thousand fish was received
in Muffins Saturday June 12, from
the Department of Commerce, Bureau
of Fisheries, Washington. The fish
were consigned to half a dozen individuals
of this place for the purpose
* . .
of stocking the rivers and private
lakes near Mullins. Mr. Uagsrialc is
to be commended upon having secured
a million shad for distribution in the
waters throughout his district. This
is the number which has been distributed
within the past two weeks.
^ Mr. Ragsdale will no doubt press
the stocking of our streams from year
to vear. until thev have been fullv
Jk stocked ,and there is no doubt but
' that this will moan a great deal to the
i people who have private lakes and
who live near the river,
ff All of the consignments of fish
L came here directly from Edenton Stay

it is interesting to watch the forces |
of civilization battling lor supremacy. I
The struggle now going on between the j i
rubber and the iron tire promises to (
be the liveliest contest of Uio Twentieth
Century.
The struggle is a silont -one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the conflict
but the results are more farreaching
to present and future gen
orations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuvering
for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unimportant
positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurling a million
"jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to retreat,
its doom is scaled, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation, jj
It, the rubber tire conquers the j
street traffic its next struggle is with j
the railroads of the country, and then !
the greatest battle between economic j
forces ever fought out on the face j
of this earth is on, for iron is the un- j|
disputed master in transportation, and j
is fortified behind billions of dollars, i
and millions of men.

to an iron rail in 1814, but it was 18G9
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound t
the country together with bands ot
steel. It took the iron tire fifty-live 8
years to creep from ocean to oce.au.
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent lilke
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulysses.
The roadbed was already prepared
and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public Jiigh way.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
And has never tasted the wormwood
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch of
tin? MUieral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recovery.
The rubber tire llrst made its appearance
on the bicycle, but it proved !
a frivolous servant and was dismissed |
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility machine
and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to waft into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will bo a marvelous differ
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every man's door,
why a city? It will traverse the continent
with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boulevard
built by Napoleon. It will paralyze
the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on? ^ I

_ \
A few simple prcenetions wi'l aid
the hou.-ewife in kc ping meat Untainted
in hot weather. It is, of
course,, com man knowledge that the
higher tine temperature, the quicker
meat will spoil, but the family's supplies
are not absolutely at the mercy
of tk > thermometer. Ice and cleanliness
are two great weapons of defensc.
For mcr.y families a refrigerator is
j hviously cut of the question, but it is
perhaps better ft-.? have no refrigerator
at all than a neglected one. Merely
to v ash \ out occassi n.ally does littiO
| good; it should be thoroughly scalded
; fix-incut int. ivals, in particular the
' ain. This, if overlooked, is apt to
harbor fungous g.xwt'r.s, which may
spread to the food. On one ccca&km:
i man applied to the department bemuse
he had found that, a joint of
v f placed in his refrigerator had
'urncd a pccul ar bright red. L pen
examination h was a.- re. tuinod that
| ho meat was covered with a peculiar
i af* hi (iU.1 Ciit?iei> CO ti'iC
Oiu'.ilion of -he rcfri;:; u ator. Growths
f this kir.d do not r1 w.ys advevtUa
.a*, m: elves >'> prom:., ally and there"
..ay r,e me b t \ 1; in an ice box that
the eye can not detect.
If the refrigerator drain is not
thoroughly cleaned, moreover, it is
nkely to become choked, the water h?
not carried off quicxly enough and
little pools are left standing in the
' interior. Dampness is one of the cons
ditions most favorable to bacterial
] growth. An ice box in this state will
j not protect food long. It is, in fact,
- a wise precaution to wipe the inter,1
irr of a refrigerator every day with a
dry cloth.
s The temperature of the average rer
frigorator is higher than most persons
- suppose, and in those households
.1 ,..K?
,i wnciu a regular supply of ice is not
c obtainable a cool cellar, a spring
s house, or the depths of a wen! may
r serve somewhat the same purpose. On
:> farms where there is an ico house the
d meat may be placed in some form of
g closed retainer and buried in ice. In
V any event, the meat must be carefully
e screened from the fiies. The danger
) from infection of these pests has been
poil:til out many times, hut familiarity
- breeds contempt anil they still persist.
I. The fly not only does the meat itself
s no goovl, but it may readily deposit
- upon it some infection, which is carr
I'icd in turn by the meat into the human
system. Some flics will deposit
d their eggs on the meat and these in a
short time will become maggots, and
the meat is "flyblown."
Much sickness that is popularly
a | ascribed to ptomaine poisoning or to
bad food in general is really caused in
- some such way as this, the food, in it
self perfectly wholesome, acting mere
ly as a mechanical carrier for the
e "germs" which cause the trouble.
Some of these sorts come from the hu
man intestine, and their presence is
a sure indication that filth is present,
oven if the amount is too small to be
f seen. Filth of this kind may be car
l ied by dust, but it more often comes
e from soiled hands. One might wish
c that every kitchen could have the sign
i found in some well-managed food factories?"When
you leave the room for
b any purpose, wash your hands before
1 you return to work."
"Germs" which, grow in foods and
3 cause illness grow very rapidly, prVticularly
if the food is a little warm,
and are not destroyed unless the food
is well cooked before serving. Simply
- "warming up" is not enough, as was
Z found in a case of illness recently reported
after eating some warmed-up
9 cream vegetable. Certain kinds of
* ' ' *
? ?creHmen onicicon, or custard, or
i warm vegetables, for example?are ex
J cellent culture mediums for bacteria
i .
which may have been introduced into
- them by accident. For this reason it
is a safe rule to_ have as short a time
e as possible intervene between the prep
I,, aration of food and its consumption,
n Froth is another excellent medium
e and in consequence should be drained
1.1 off if it is intended to keep the meat
