BUTTERMILK THAT IS BETTER AND CHEAPER Use Skim Milk in Making Healthful Beverage. Clemson College, S. C.?All bacteria do not mak/3 trouble and doctors' bills Some of them make buttermilk and buttermilk is a friend to health. It is a cheap bev.oragc and a good one, and is an excellent food besides. Its nutritive value is high, two quarts of buttermilk being equal to about one pound of steak. It has a good medicinal effect. The lactic acid and bacteria that help in the making of buttermilk arc, therefore, man's friends and protectors. but many people in South Carolina arc under the impression that to make good buttermilk it is necessary to churn the whole milk for butt. 1*. "Skim milk" buttermilk is not only and cheaply made, but it has a sharper and keener taste than buttermilk made with whole milk, since it develops its acid faster On the other! side, butter churned from cream alone is better butter, because the cream I dees not have to be kept as long as ! the whole milk before churning. I Thus skimmiik buttermilk has several advantages, especially for the farmer who wishes to make buttermilk for sale. To make skim milk buttermilk, add one gallon of whole milk to twenty! I gallons of skim miik as soon as the! milk has been separated. This \vho'o| milk is added to put some but km fat < in the buttermilk, mo' c because pco-' pie like to see some signs of butrei \ ii the beverage when they drink it: than for any othe r reason. Add enough "starter" or clabber to curdle the milk in six or seven i hours when kept at a temperature ol about 70 degrees. the ordinary room emperature. When the tuilk is, thoroughly curdled, put the resulti lg lubber in a churn and churn for thirty minutes. After churning, cool at once to r>0| degrees to p.'.wont the further development of acid and separation el | whey. Strain as soon as it is cool , thru cheese cloth to remove tiny) lumps of curd. ! This simple process will give a ! pood, refreshing, tasteful beverage! i that is both enjoyable and healthful. j o TIMELY POINTERS FOR ORCHARD AM) GARDEN Clemson College. S.

New Spring Variety Not Recommended Where Winter Kind Can be Grown. I Marquis wheat has aroused much interest in the United States recently about 7,000,000 bushels being harvest .ed in 1914. This has produced an abundance of seed and many farmers have been considering the advisability of growing this variety in the future. For this reason the results of the Government tests of this wheat, published in Farmers' Bulletin 732, will bo of special interest. Marquis wheat, says the bulletin, is a hybrid produced on the Central Experiment Farm at Ottawa, Canada. It is an early variety, ripening from 98 to 135 days after sowing, the av | erage Length of the growing period in | the northern Great Plains being about 115 days. This makes it three or four days earlier than most of tin, Fife varieties, the group with which it is classed. Because of this earli ness, Marquis wheat escapes to some extent the drought of dry years, tin rust and fall rains of wet seasons and the early fall frosts. These characteristics have made it osr. cially valuable in the prairie Provinces of Canada. In the United States they have not proved to he so great an advantage. In the northern prairie States, including Iowa, Minnesota, and the subhumid parts of eastern Nebraska, and the two Dakotas, the Government investigators found that Marquis wheat slightly outyields the groups of spring wheat commonly grown it', the section. Wher# winter wheat car. be grown, however, it outyields any spring wheat, Marquis included. The bulletin recommends caution in discarding well-known varieties, and advises the farmer who w'shrs to try Marquis to compare it carefully with, be other spring wheats and to hold fust to that which proves best. In the scmiarid section cover'ng I mosi 01 mo northern hull" of Hi* Ch eat Plains area and including most of Nebraska, the Dakota s, northeastern Colorado, eastern \\ yoming, and the eastern half of Montana, the durum wheats have been found to cupula all the spring common varieties including Marquis. Hence again | hovovcr, winter wheat is decidedly I better than any spring wh.?at. The ( Marquis is not re-commended, therefore, where v.er winter wheat can V I grown or wherever durum wheat if i used. Elsewhere it is a safe variety to grow and is especially wel adapted to central South Dakot? where drought and rust often reduce the yield of later-maturing varieties Marquis wlvat is not reconimendo< ; for any district west of the Rocky 3SE SELLS iT FOR LE! ray Hill Club <'(' :? n * <! it Good Whiskey". $1.00 $1.95 " ier Rye 1.00 1.95 s "66" 1.00 1.95 m of Kentucky 80c 1.50 ird DufTy's Malt Put up in Fives Its. 1 Bottle 2 Hottlea 4 Bottl >5 90c $1.75 $3.4 F KENTUCKY WHISKE1 * Than the Best 4 Fall Quart* .?** 5 $2.50 a?

In the wheat districts of 1 Utah, Idaho, Oregon, the hard red ( winter wheats of the Crimean group are now widely grown and outyield any va iety 01 spring wheat. In mcst places, moreover, good varieties of spring wheat outyi/.dd the Marquis. Marquis wheat has n t been grown to any extent under irrigation, tut in I western South Dakota and in Montana has given good results under thes."* conditions, according to the limited information available. It should not be grown und.?r irrigation west of the Rocky Mountains, where there F* a good demand for the soft white I wheats, all of which outyield it. In appearance Marquis wheat close ly r.esembles the Fife wheats of the northern Great Plain States. It is a beardless spring variety with hairlets { white chaff or glumes and a hard red kernel. For flour making it is regarded as first class. Numerous milling t.^sts show that in this respect it is equal or slightly superior to the File and Bluestom wheats I which are the standard hard red spring wheats for flour making. ( o SWEET POTATO Tuber of Great Value as Food for Human Beings and Animals ( and Industrially. 1 " * i ' -Clomson College, S. C.?Whether it is to be used as a food for the table I as a faed crop for animals or a pro- j ducer of starch, the sweet potato i probably one of" the most profiiabl crops the South Carolina farmer cm I prow. The host method of pla.'ing swor' potatoes is with cuttings from vires 1 I If slip beds were not set out cavu ' J enough this year for plants to be sut , ficiently large for good vine cutting ai this time, or if no slips were grow , it is advisable to hn\ cuttings from a , neighbor. Blunting slips is more j expensive than vine cuttings Besides, the fungi which produce rots are less likely to be carried on a vine, cutting than on slips pulled directly ; from the old potatoes grown from i vine cuttings will probably be freer j fri m rot than those grown from slips. ; A fertilizer suggested for sweet j potatoes is 500 pounds kanit, 800 ' pounds cotton seed meal and 200 i pounds of 1(> per cent phosphate. This | CM 1 U uld be applied at the rate of 800 i I to 1000 pounds per acre. Frequent shai ow cultivation is im portant in sweet potato gvowi; g, ^ in the culture of many ot cr crips. : amnuiimu j M.

I'.v.J FEW COMMANDS ARE READY FOR SERVICE Only Two Regiments of Infantry and Two Troops of Cavalry Mobilized. y Now York.?The movement of additional regiments of the N."\v York National Guard to Camp Whitman at Bcekman, N. Y., the mobilization site for State troops, was halted tooay in compliance with orders from Major General John F. O'Ryan, in order that tlte water supply at the camp should be completed before their arrival. T\\'o regiments already are at camp and eleven others are awaiting OVvU ?r> to go. Up to this morning Major General Leonard Wood, commanti-inir thr do partment of the east, had received official notice that only tv;o troop:? cf cavalry and two regiments of infantry were mobilized in the whole department covering twenty-two States and extending from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico along* the Atlantic Coast. Commenting* thereon, Con. Wood said the need of a regular army reserve corps was clearly demonstrated, lie added that he was informed that the. troops ill camp are only up to peace, strength which meant that .each regiment was about 1000 men short of war strength. He regarded it as likely that the same shortage existed in all the States in his department, which would mean that all the regiments would have to recruit and drill men before they would he ready for service. "1 do not wish to imply arT ci.-m of the National Guard," .-aid vu-Yi Wood, "but the facts illustrate ourselves on short notice should there V>e need. It is no sur prise to ntc nor should it be to any one who has a knowledge of military affairs. It is impossible to ex p. ct business men to drop their work suddenly and dash off to camp."

Since the development of the Mexican crisis, applications for enlistments in the regular army in this city have increased from 150 a month to 150 a day. Since the National Guard mobilization was ordered, applications for training at Plattshurgh have doubled and now average more than .175 a day. J Directors of tb.o New York Life Insurance Company announced today that the company will issue policies to National Guardsmen up to $10,000.
