Gloria's Romance about the barges <ii?l not appeal to Gloria us desirable Suuiurltaus to ask for help. Another of Gloria's Impulses stirred her feet almost against her will. She ran along the wharf, crossed a plunk ' to the Trask barge, and went to the cabin hatchway. She heard voices of anger coming up. The girl was upbraiding her father for deserting her and accusing 1dm of a further crime. She was crying hysterically. "You killed him. He Is dead and you killed him." The old man denied the charge with frenzy. He laughed at It, swore that he was Innocent. The girl was already persuaded .and this so enraged Gloria that she darted down the steps and cried out at Trask: "You <lid kill him. I saw you." ITU HE CONTINUED..) o GROWING PEANUTS How They Are Planted, Harvested and Prepared for Market. The culture of the peanut is not attended with much difficulty, says the "Washington Star. Land suited to the raising of corn or melons is generally selected, and care is taken that there is nothing in the soil that would stain tlu shells. Planting begins when the danger from frost has passe 1. The ground is plowed five or six inches deep and then harrowed. The nuts are taken from the pod without break ing their skins and are planted two I or three together in rows about three I feet apart ar.d twenty inches from hili to hill, be! ng covered with two inches of earth. In October, when the nuts are ripe, pull up the vines, to whioh the nutc adhere, and turn them over to dry. , He performs this task only in pleasant weather and when the ground is dry. When the vines have lain in the sun for a day, whioh is sufficient tinu for them to dry, the grower stacks them around a stake about five feet high. The vines remain in stack from I three to five weeks, after which the nuts are picked off, placed in sacks i and shipped to market. A vine under favorable conditions often hears more than 100 nuts, and the yield per acre j exceeds forty bushels. I To polish the peanuts and to remove the earth and stems the nuts are scoured in large metal cylinders, r from which they pass through blast ' fans, in which a strong current of air . sc palates the fully developed nuts , having sound kernels from those imI perfectly filled and from empty pods, i The sound nuts fall through tho frm upon sorting tables, whore those that are discolored are taken out and thoj bright ones are passed on into sacks that will each hold about 100 pounds of nuts. Each sack is marked with ' the brand that indicates the grade of its contents. i o ; TRESPASS NOTICE.

The difficulty of buying meat scraps, blood meal meat meal or other animal food in South Carolina should not worry any poultryman In our state. Three experiment stations have tested sour milk or buttermilk and found It equal, if not superior, to animal food of any kind. The Missouri Experiment Station has just published the results of their tests, and these tend to show that sour milk is better than meat scraps in every way. Seventy-five pullets were used in die experiment. Twenty-five were fed all the sour milk they could drink in addition to a mixture of two parts whole corn ami one part wheat scattered in the litter, and a dry mash of wheat bran, middlings ana cornmeai i fed in a hopper. The second lot of twenty-five pallets did not receive sour milk to drink, but In pluce of it they were given moat raps in the masn and the same whole grain. The third lot received only the i ' vheat bran, middlings and corn meal dry mash, and the whole corn and wheat in the litter. The cost of feeding each hen was 11.05 for the milk lot. $1.02ty> for the m?*?t scraps lot. and $0.95V? tents 1 for the no meat nor milk lot Ths prepare~7or army worm Caterpillars May Appear Most Any Day Now.?Cotton Should be Inspected as Often as Possible. The Entomologists at Clemson College are expecting a heavy outbreak of the true army worm in the State this year. This caterpillar is an inch or more in length and varies from gray to black in color, with black stripes and narrow white linos on the back, and a greenish color 011 the under side. Inspect your cotton as often as possible so that the worms will be disoov ered before they have advaned over a large area. Spray. Where the worms have jtw?t been discovered and are still confined to a small area, spray with the folowing: Arsenate of lead .. 2 lbs. Water 50 gals. or Paris green 1 lb. .. Freshly slaked lime 2 lbs. Water 50 gals. Use arsenate of lead in preference to Paris green, for there is no possi-! billty of arsenate of lead burning the ( foliage. Dust with Poison. If the worm J.s over a large area dust the cotton with a half and half mixture of arsenate of lead and air slaked lime, cheap flour or fine ashes. This is very practicable where there Is a larsre area afected. Bait with Poisoned Bran. Where ? orating and dusting will not , do. use the following poisoned bait: Wheat bran 50 lbs. Arsenate of lead 2 llw. (or 1 lb. Paris green). Cheap molasses 4 qts. Lemons or oranges finely chopped 6 Mix the dry bran and poison, then add the molasses. Work into a dough and add the oranges or lemons. When the dough is too thick, add a little water. Broadcast this bait over the infested field, or among the worms when they are on the march. Or Ditch. Wljen the worms are moving in a mass, they may be halted by digging a ditch across their path. The ditch should be narrow with steep sides, j When the worms fall into it. kill them by dragging a log up and down through the ditch. Manure is subject to heavy losses ; from several sources. For instance. ! many farmers 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 farmer should exert himself to get the most possible out of his manure. I(ast voar the extension division of Clemson College put forth its great- j est efforts in a campaign for increas-1 Ing the acreage of wheat and oat? j Tht* year it is again urging the sow-' I ing of wheat and oats, but has added livestock to its propaganda.

If the Progressive party in this state does not cast its full vote in the coming national election it will not be because there are not sufficient ballots. An order has been placed for 150.00% tickets each for state officers and national electors. LD. CONWAY, S. O. TOICKcN FEEDING number of eggs laid per hen was 131 for the milk lot, 107 for the meat lot. and ">5 for the no meat, nor milk lot. The coat of producing a dozen eggs was 10 cents for the milk lot. 12*4 cents for the meat lot. and 22 Vi cents for the no meat nor milk lot. The profit per hen in dollars was |1.18 for the milk lot. $0.79 for the meat lot. and there was a loss of f.mr cents a hen on the no meat nor milk lot. These are significant results directly applicable to Southern poultrymen. They relievo us of the worry over not being able to buy the animal foods that are so popular for poultry feeding in the North. Give your chickens all the sour milk or buttermilk they can drink and change your flock from an unprofitable to a money-making investment. Feed them the dry mash used by'the Missouri Experiment Station or the Clfetnson Egg Mash and scatter whole arraill in ninn nr wtinnt alvuur or other litter each mornihg and oven* nig. By doing this with 25 pullets Missouri increased the number of eggs laid from 1373 to 3275. and made a profit of $28.26 as compared with a $1.00 loss on 25 similar pullets that simply did not have sour milk to drink, but were fed and housed the same. THE ONLY GOOD WAY TO KEEP MILK SWEET Follow Two Simple Rules and Milk Will Bring the Best Price on the Market When milk or cream is sold from the farm, doubtless the farmer has often had losses due to the products becoming sour. Whether the milk or cream is intended for the table, the creamery or the milk market, it must be sweot if it is to bring the boat price. To keep milk sweet, just two simple things must be carefully looked after: (1) It must be cooled as completely and as quickly after milking as possible. and (2) absolute cleanliness of pails, cans, and cows must be secured. If this is done, thunder storms will no longer sour the milk. The warm, damp weather which we have just before thunder storms really does tend to cause milk to sour because it has not been pfoperly cared for. A Mffk Pall That Makes It Easier. The Top is Two-Thirds Covered and There Are No Seams to Har bor Germs. The souring takes place because little invisible planus called bacteria gel into the milk in dirt or by lurking in the corners and seams of poorly cleaned pails and cans. The remedy is plain. Keep the bacteria out by using seamloss pails and cans and seeing that absolutely no dirt or dust gets into the milk in the stable or anywhere else. Profits from milk will be greatly increased by good supply and proper use of clean hot water and an ice house or good cold spring. ?Clemson College, S. C.

The college has two men giving all their time to beef cattle and swine extension work, three dairy extension experts and one extension poultryman.

COOPER MULLINS Capital and Surplus $80,000 S5VEH BRITAIN NEEDS WAR MUNITIONS P?\,,or Board Issues Warning Following Recent Investigation. 'London.- ?Great Britain is in urgent need of men for her armies and aiso for making ammunition in her munition factories. A statement to this effect s.m been given out by the vi m Bower Distributing Board recently appointed to comb out men eligible tor military service in the United Kingdom who have not yet been enrol loci in the army. i The board reported it had examine i officials of the admiralty, war office, ministry of munitions and other departments and that there v as urgent need of fresh supplies of men for the armies and munition factories in order "to maintain our forces in the field at the number already fixed for them and at the same time iv> maintain the supply of mu nn.iv/us essonuai tor tneir equipment art! proper utilization." The board therefore directed that no exemption be granted certain classes heretofore exempt and that there be no more general dilution of skilled laber in munitions factories with women and other workers heretofore untrained. It suggested conferences of employers and employed with a view to forcing skilled labor now engaged in private work for employment in munition plants. "It is essential." the report says, "that a large part of tin* labor now engaged in private work shall be diverted to government orders, or released for the army." The board also has under consideration the extended use of women and of men over the military age and also the release of men of military ago now employed in the government offices. This is the only means the board says, whereby extension of the age for compulsory service can be avoided. No official figures have been given recently as to the number of men serving with the' British army. On May 25 King George in signing the military service bill placed the number raised up to that time at 5,041,000. In .July, August and September o ?.- - -- miusn casualties were tfl>7,169.
