Clemson College, Dec. 22.?Winter
is the best season for fence building
and repairing on the farm, for more ,
than one reason, and experts at Clemson
College advise farmers to set ,
aside some time during this month or
next for doing such wbrk of this kind
%as is needed.
Fall and winter are more severe on
fences than spring and summer and
right now, especially, they suffer
[much damage from fires which are
started in nearby brushwood. One
f step in fence work 'therefore, is to
make certain that no piles of brush>?!?,
,\v?od and dead leaves are left at the
fl 'fences, People scarcely realize how
Y many fences are lost by fire because
such trosh piles are heaped about the ,
fence posts.
One thing that makes this a good
season for fence work is the frequency
of hard rains, which leave thei
ground soft and in a condition that
permits one to set fence posts rapidly.

Son the farm in winter should be done

farms it ise the quietest season and
there is more time for carpentry and
such work than in any other season.

at Dec 1 farm prices, the department
of agriculture announced in its final
estimate and review of crop production

SWAT THE STUMPS
They Take up Valuable Space and
Get In Way of Machiney.
Clemson College, Dec. 20.?There
is no better time to get rid of the
stumps in your field than during the
winter months, say the agricultural
authorities at Clemson College, who
urge that farmers give this matter
their attention. So long as stumps
romain in the field, one will not be
able to use there the improved machinery
that he should use. He will
continually have to be lifting the
plow and driving the binder and other
machinery around so that he can get
by, whereas if the stumps were removed,
one could go straight ahead
without trouble. Stumps also occupy
land that lould be used tor crops it
the stumps were removed.
There are several ways of getting
rid of stumps. If you or your neighbors
have not a stump puller and you
don't feel able to buy one, you may
use dynamite. Or, if you do not care
to use either of these methods, you
can dig them out. By all means, clear
the land of stumps now so that you
can crop it early next spring.

THE HOBBY HERAT.

WHY CROSS BREEDIN
Farmers sometimes get the mistaken
idea that cross breeding will improve
their stock On the contrary,
cross breeding has many disadvantages
and farmers are strongly advised
not to attempt it. It has at times
been used with success in the hands
of breeders of long experience, but
for the inexperienced breeder it is a
most dangerous practice.
Cross breeding is the mating of two
purebred animals of different breeds;
for example, a purebred Hereford bull
with a purebred Angus cow, or a purebred
Berkshire boar with a purebred
Duroc-Jersey sow. It should be clearly
distinguished from grading, which
j means the mating of a purebred with
a scrub or an animal of very little
pure blood, and which can be done
r.with perfect safety and is urged upon
farmers.
One of the principles upon which
livestock breeding is based is that
i like tends to beget like. When two
purebreds of the same breed are
mated, we expect the offspring to be
like its parents, because there is, be- ,
hind each parent, a long line of pure
blood. When two purebreds of different
breeds are mated (crossbreeding),
there at once takes place a
' battle of breeds and the offspring will
be like that parent whose blood is j
strongest. When, therefore, two old
breeds, as Tamworth and Berkshire,
or Jersey and Holstein, are mated, !
! there is a bitter conflict between t
j bloods and influences that have requlr1
cd centuries to reach their present
state.
In cross breeding the first cross is
sometimes good, but after that such
breeding is very uncertain, because
the nature of the offspring will de1
pend upon whichever of its bloods gets
the mastery. Moreover, there is a
(lfttl ?pr Ul.lt ormmdnmo W.-.
- uv,.n,niin o me
blood in each parent will balance that
in the other, which will cause an out- i
cropping of some bad characters that
had been held in check ever since the
breeds began.
Because of this uncertainty of re-!
suits, a crossbred sirp should never be
used nor any crossbred females kept
for breeding, except where a purebred
is at the head of the herd. Be- j
cause breeders understand this, a
crossbred can never bring more on j
the market than it is worth for meat '
or work, and the farmer who breeds
such animals loses his chance of selling
his best product at purebred

prices. If for no other reason than
this, a farmer should nestiate to cross
breed. Keep in mind clearly the difference
between the purebred and the
crossbred. The purebred is the offspring
of two purebred parents of the
same breed. The crossbred is the
offspring of two purebred parents of
different breeds. A crossbred can
never be registered, even tf each of
its parents was a breed champion.
If cross breeding is inadvisable,
however, grading ia advisable and is
recognized as the quickest economical
way of building up a herd. Grading is
the mating of a purebred with a scrub
or with a grade. Generally the purebred
used is the sire and the scrub or
grade is the dam. Grading is perfectly
safe because all the power is on one
side and the results can be predicted.
A purebred Angus bull mated with '
scrub cows will produce calves of
which more than eighty per cent are
pure black and hornless, such is the
power of pure blood over mixed
blood. There is no better way for the
j mt; ureeuer 10 Deni'i tnan with a
grade herd and a purebred sire. In a
few years lie can make his herd as
profitable as purebreds and will have
learned how to take care of a purebred.
But let him avoid cross breed-'

Last year the extension division of
Clemson College put forth its greatest
efforts in a campaign for increasing
the acreage of wheat and oats.
This year it is again urging the sowing
of wheat and oats, but has added
lives lock to its propaganda. "Take
the second step?livestock."
Manure is subject to heavy losses
from several sources. For instance,
many fanners lose practically all their
liquid manure, yet this contains more
valuable plant food than the solid.
There are a number of ways to save
stable manure and every fanner
should exert himself to net the most !
possible out of his manure.
The most serious limiting factor in
Southern agriculture is lack of humus
in the soil. The easiest and most
economical way to get humus in the
soil is by growing and turning winter
legume*. This also enables a farincT
to get nitrogen from the air and cut
his fertilizer bills.

THIS NEWSPAPER
The First Christmas
IT ofteu has been statin) that the
birth of Christ must have occurred
four years before the date
tixed ou for the current chronology
and that it is probable the event befell
at some other time in the year
than a few days after the winter solstice.
The reason for the coutident assertion
is the ascertaining of the fact
that Herod died about four years B. C.
Tiie basis of this supposition is the
re|K>rt that at the time of the hirth of
Christ "there were shepherds abiding
in the tield. watching their flocks by
night." a circumstance not natural in
tiie latitude of Bethlehem near the
shortest day. That is the height of
the rainy season in .ludea. and the
date does not appear to have been observed
generally before the fifth con
tury.
m?nj students or Mimical history
haw argued that the story about the
star of Bethlehem points to a date for
the Nativity not later than May 8.
B. C. 0. On that date the planets
Venus and Jupiter were so closely In
conjunction as seen from the earth
that the apparent distance between
them was eipial only to the breadth of
the full moon. These planets were

then visible in the east a couple ot
bears before se.urise and must have
produced a strikingly beautiful appearance
and li^f been spoken of as one
object. That was about lift.v days less
than two years before the death of
llerod. a fact which harmoui'/.cs well
with other conditions of the narrative,
for it is probable that the mandate
for the slaughter of all the children
two years old and under was issued
some mouths before bis decease, and
the limit of two years would leave an
ample margin for any uncertainty as
to the time of the appearance of the
star, as related by the magi: also there
were no paschal full moons on a Friday
between the years it. C. <1 and
A. I). ;t.'l and no other following that
till A. D. tin.
From this it would seem to follow
that Christ was thirty-eight years old
at the time of the crucifixion, and this
would vindicate the sagacity of the
Jewish doctors who atlirmed that lawns
not yet fifty (forty V? years old. It
is remarked, too. that in the spring of
the same year there was a triple conjunction
of planets- Saturn. Jupiter
and Mars?and that the first two
named were in conjunction as seen I
from the earth no less than three times
in the year preceding?that is. It. C. 7.
Another theory About the star of
Bethlehem which has been advanced '
is that the star seen by the magi is'
Spicn, the leading brilliant in the constellation
of Virgo, tiie Virgin. For
many years before and after the
Christian era the star was changing
Its place until it was then literally a
"star in the oust," ami its movement j
in that direction may have been the!
very fact noticed by the wise men of
some centuries preceding who expected
that the prophecy about the Virgin
would be fulfilled when its principal
star reached the position noted. if
this were so the visit of the magi from
Ractria, in the far east, is easily ex-,
plained, and the chief dillb ulty attend- 1

Clemson College, I)cc. 22.?Do you
keep in touch with your county dejmonstration
agent? If you are a
farmer and do not, you are neglecting
a big opportunity. The agent is employed
by the United State's government
and the state's agricultural college
to help yc u with your farm problems
and there are numerous ways in
which an agent can lie of great assistance
to any farmer.
The co-operative extension work at
C'emson oUllcge has an agent in every
county in South Carolina except
two and the vacancies in these two
ccuntics are only temporary. In each
of three counties, there are two
agents. Of these forty-five men, twenl'y
four are gravluates in agriculture

The county agent is a very busy
man. He has his lines of work mapped
out and spends most of his time
carrying cut his program. But lie is
always ready to drop whatever he is
doing and answer any farmer's emergency
call. He knows what to do to
check outbreaks of contagious stock '

pests; and whenever he finds a probiL-i
