HOMEGROWN PRODUCTS Wherever Possible, Farmer Should Use Grains and Forage Produced at Home?When Necessary to Purchase, Co-operate With Neighbors? Some Suggestions on Feeding Under Present Conditions of Feedstuffs Market. The prevailing prices of some feeds, especially cotton seed meal anil hulls, are just cause for considerable Inquiry as to what are the most economical feeds available for our livestock. Many of our farmers have profited by advice urged upon them last year to grow more grain, produce more forage in the form of cover crops, etc., and build silos where their conditions Justify. Wherever possible, a farmer should make use of all home-grown grains and forage, thereby reducing his feed bill to a minimum. Oats, corn, rice meal, wheat bran, etc., 1n addition to cottonseed meal, are all good feeds to consider In making up the rations for livestock. However, the economy of feeding naturally depends on the cost of the production and market conditions. In many instances farmers have some grain or roughage that has been slightly damaged by rain or other causes. To market such products would be to sell at a low price and often at a loss- Much of this feed can be used profitably by the producer who raises livestock, provided it is not damaged by mold or rot. In fact, some of these feeds are practically as good for feeding as the brighter and higher priced feeds. Where it is necessary to purchase feedstuff*, a considerable saving can be realized if neighbors will co-operate In buying large quantities. Ten tons of feedstuff* constitute the minimum carload In this state and buying In carload lots will reduce the freight rate as well as the first cost of the feed. If bought In such quantities, wheat bran and rice meal can be purchased for around $30 per ton, or even considerably less, at which prices these feeds can be used as a part of the ration with some profit. Cottonseed meal is very high in price at present, but we must not lose sight of the fact that it has a very high feed value, especially for beef and dairy cattle and horses and mules. Unless this feed runs considerably over $35 per ton, it will still prove economical to use cottonseed meal as a part of the ration. The ration may be improved by the use of corn-and-cob meal, ground oats or wheat bran, as such feods lighten a ration and also add variety, which tends to keep up appetite, an essential to successful feeding.

Beef Cattle Fe0 For Breeding Purposes Need TissueMaking Foods. In the management of beef cattle for breeding purposes, the object In feeding is to develop the animal and maintain vigor and tone. Therefore, feed rations rich in ttssue-ibuildlng materials, protein and ash, and avoid feeding excessive quantities of fat- i forming feeds. Below are feeding hints for South Carolina cattle feeders: Concentrates: Mix the feeds in | each group in proportions suggested ( and feed as directed: Group 1: Corn-and-cob meal or j ground barley or rice meal, 40 pounds; . ground oats, 40 pounds; wheat braii, 20 pounds.

Corn silage and roots : such as beets, carrots, turnips, etc. are excellent feeds and, when available, should make up a part of the roughage, replacing about G pound? of the dry roughage.

A modification of a former opinion, issued May 12, 1916, has been asked for and, upon reconsideration, the department has issued the following announcement: "Until further notice, the department will not recommend proceedings under the Food and Drugs Act on account of the shipment of interstate 1 commerce, or the sale in the District ' of Columbia or the Territories, of 1 unlabeled canned foods solely upon < the ground that the same do not 1 bear a statement of the quantity of 1 the contents, if such shipment or 1 sale be other than to a retail dealer 1 or to a consumer and the cans bear a * correct statement of the quantity of 1 the contents when sold or delivered to retail dealers and consumers.

' Only Onco In Five Years Does Average Trainman Exceed Legal Limit. That Uui.u' hours m train service nave heen rodui ed to a minimum Is shown by a report issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Only one em plove in live on the average last year was compelled to remain on duty more than sixteen hours during any one day hi the whole year. Stated in another way, the < ' nee of tin engluoinan or trainman ivillaining on duty beyond this prescribed limit was reduced to once in live years. The total number of cases of excess service from all causes reported to the commission was only (11,247 during the year ending June 30, 1915, as compared with 137.439 in 1014 and 270,S27 in 1913. and with rare exceptions these represented cases recognized as due to unavoidable causes. Statistics on this subject are collected by the Interstate Commerce Commission under the national honrs-of-service law. Every time a train Is so delayed by a blizzard, washout or other cause that any part of the train crew is on duty longer than sixteen hours the railroad company must report the occurrence to the commission, giving the names of the individual employes concerned and a full statement of the cause for the excess service. For several years the railroads and the Interstate Commerce Commission have been co-operating in efforts to prevent the keeping of employes on duty for long periods. The reduction of nearly SO per cent. In such cases which has been brought about in three years shows that the working of men for long stretches of continuous service lias practically disappeared except in rare cases of unavoidable delay.

FRAUDULENT CLAIMS FOR VINEGAR BEES 'radically a Worthless Fermentation or Common Yeast Being Exploited ' * _ i\ \ rARMERS ARE WARNED AGAINST FALSE CLAIMS Product May Contain Harmful as Well as Useful Bacteria Germs. / j ?Tf!J ______ 8 The department is receiving many inquiries regarding a substance offered for sale for making vinegar or alcoholic beverages under the name "Vinegar Bees," "Beer Bees," "Australian Bees," "California Bees," "African Bees." and various other designations. These names are being applied, apparently, to a kind of wild yeast or ferment which, as far as can be learned, was originated by the mountaineers of Tennessee and Kent U eh y i The primitive process for making "bees" was to expose to the air a mixture of corn at <1 mo asses until it* became impregnated with wild veast and other bacteria. The ferment so pi oduccd was emp'oynl locally hi making a sort of vinegar or certain alcoholic solutions, by adding it to a mixture of water and either brown -vgar or molasses, which then was allowed io work or ferment, The ncent irujuii ies seem to have been stimulated by enterprising individuals and firms for advertising vinegar "bees" undo* one or more of the names mentioned. Many of these | advertisers make extravagant claims i for the product and ask a fancy price for it which the wast specialists*, of * tlie department say, is out of all pro: portion to its original cost or to i s actual worth, in some of the adveri tisements which have reached the department the sellers assert that the [substance when mixed with Watet4 j and molasses or sugar will produce | beer or wine. Other promoters go so j far as to say that the fermented mixjturo is beneficial in the treatment of j rheumatism and kidney trouble, claims which have no foundation in fact. In the opinion of the department's specialists, a product made by catch* inir veast nml nvio i*..i - vv-i I I IVI IJVI lli.'lnately from the air may very well | contain harmful as well as undesirable j organisms, and the specialists state j that great care should be exercised in i both the preparation and the use of i such a product. In their judg- 1~ "bees" is not as well suited for In ducing alcoholic fermentation as is tlw ordinary yeast cake, and they can not recommend it at all for making vinegar. EiSHT HOUR DEMAND SHOULD BE GRANTED York.?"In my opinion the eight hour demand of the men is just and right," said Gov. Manning in a statement here today, in regard to the p< nding deferences between the railroads, and their employees. Gov. I Mannnig has given a great deal of thought to questions concerning employer and employe and has followed the eight hour contention with a great deal of interest. "I agree entirely with President Woodrow Wilson in his attitude regarding the railroad situation and contention," said the governor. "In my opinion the eight hour demand of the men is ju^t and right. Eight nours oi faithful work requiring such vigilance and constant attention and exertion is sufficient for a day's work. Men should have sufficient time for rest and recreation and time to be with their families." o Subscribers all over this broad county have paid heed to our recent request for prompt renewals of their subscriptions and they are coming in by the score.
