t!" B -v* ! THE LEADING JERSEY OF THE SOUTH IteOMVi of the South have ton* supposed that dairying, aa well aa attar branches of livestock farming, was an industry peculiar to the (North and Went, and.that the South Carolina fanner oould not make a access at this kind of /arming. Those fanners who read farm papers hare seen the reports of the big records of milk and batter from the tfa^y states, and in nearly every case have refused to believe that a cow made any such record. The only thing that will ever convince such "Doubting Thomases" is to see a cow close to home that has actually \ i made a record comparable with any made elsewhere. That opportunity Is now open to any farmer who cares enough to go to see a South Carolina cow that has Just finished a record that places her in the class with the world's record butter-producing Jersey cows. j This cow, Blue Fox's Eminent Chromo 317736, was bred and owned by 1 I. A. Shanklln, Manager, Taylor's Farm, Columbia. S. C. She was fed largely on South Carolina feeds such as cottonseed meal, wheat bran, | peanut meal, corn meal, soy bean meal, corn silage, and hay. She was 4 ? milked three times a day, and needless to say, had the very best care and attention that it was possible to give her. Starting on a year's test on January 13th, 1917, and finishing January 12th, 1918, this cow produced 17,217.6 pounds of milk and 1023.6 pounds of butter. This record both | for milk and butter exceeds the record of any cow of any breed in the South and places Chromo in the first twenty cows of the breed.

She is a very gentle cow and devoted to the man who fed and milked her while on test. ' Chrome is a daughter of Blue Fox's Eminent, 77627, a half brother of the famous show bull, Noble of Oaklands. Of the 2-60 head of Jerseys ] on the Taylor Farm, 100 are daughters of this bull. Mr. Shanklin now has i 25 cows on test, and by the laRt of the your should have average records ^ of more than 10.000 pounds of milk and 600 pounds of butter from the entire twenty-five head. The following table will show the production of milk and butter fat ' per month for the year: Milk Fat January, 1917 (19 days) 822.9 33.41 February, 1917 1517.7 61.62 ( March, 1917 1671.6 76.06 j April, 1917 1583.3 66.50 May. 1917 1649.5 84 95 June, 1917 1599.4 ' 81.25 July. 1917 1581.4 91.72 August. 1917 1433.9 75.57 September, 1917 1384.8 76.44 October, 1917 1335.6 71.59 November, 1917 1167.7 69.01 December, 1917 1053.7 56 69 i January, 1918 (12 days) 416.0 22.38 17217.5 867.19 j 867.19 pounds of fat are equal to 1023 5 pounds of butter. 85 per cent i fit. The average butter fat test for the year was 5.04%. The cow was ( 8 years eld when the test started. Yne test was supervised by the Dairy Dtriaftoa of Clelnson College under rules laid down by the American Jersey Cattle Club. A tester was sent to the farm each month who weighed the milk for two days and took careful samples which were tetsed for j butter fat by the Baocock test. To get an Idea of the value of such a cow It Is only necessary to / saw that 17217.6 pounds of milk is equal to 2002 gallons of milk. This \ milk was sold for 50 cents per gallon wholesale, so that the product of this cow for one year sold for 11,001.00, or an average of about 92.70 per day. The fact that this cow was bred and owned lu South Carolina, and fee record made by a South Carolina farmer, should be convincing evidence that cows can do aa well In the South as in the North or West 11 gtvra equally intelligent feeding and attention. a RUB-M Y-TISM' JAMES SMART ESTATE Will cure youi ftheuiuatiaiD firmrn rfin n ti r Neuralgia, _ Headaches, Cramps Ulrtntu rUH OAlU Colic, Sprains, Bruises, Cuts anc ; , .

Washington.?Recent reports from revenue collectors indicate that the government may receive from income and excess profits taxes in June much more than the $2,500,000,000 estimated. Some estimates, based on preliminary examination of returns filed ten days ago run as high as $4,000, 000,000. If these calculations of big collecj .Ions arc borne out by further ex| amination of returns within the next two weeks the treasury muy recommend legislation to provide for installment payments of taxes, probably m June 15, August 15, and October 15. A delegation cf the national conference of State manufacturers associations, accompanied by members of Congress, today appealed to Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper for establishment of a system of installment payments to ease the financial burden on business in June. The callers came away, with Mr. Roper's promise that the treasury would study the situation carefully. The liberty loan would be stimulated by making it possible for business concerns to pay their taxes in installments, the manufacturers cieclared. Under the present rule many 1 % 1tf?M5ER.

The early applications are mad** about March 1st. When applying a topdresser the application should be made when the blades of the plants are dry to prevent scalding. Generally speaking, larger Increases are obtained from topdressers where the grain has not been fertilized.

Secretary Baker, jack from a seven weeks' trip to Europe, today called on the American )oc pie for renewed support for the war. The secretary expected to see President Wilson some time during the day to report on his observations abroad. "The American soldier has . made good in France," Seceretary Baker to-i day assured newspaper men who mel him at the War Department. "The French and British authorities are uniform in their praise of the cour-j age, endurance and soldierly qualU ties of our men. "The big thing for America to do ia to support the war, support it financially and with firm belief. The right arm of America is in France. It i* bared and ready to strike. The rest of the body is here in the United States and it must support the arm This support should include subscrq* tion to Liberty loans as well as moral support of high confidence. The condition of the America? troops, the secretary said, is excellent They all are well physically and "well in every way." Their spirits ar? high, their behavior admirable and their relations with the French anc British cordial and sympathetic, hi said. 1 One rarely meets an American sol djer in France who does not smile an< wave his hat, Mr. Baker said. "Tin only sad Americans there are thos< who fear they may have to conn home before the job is done." "The information I went to get, ! got," Mr. Baker said. His trip, he said, would bring closet and more understanding eooperatioi between the War Department and tin army. As for the Secretary himself he feels that he is "now equipped witi the means of judging and appreciat ing the kind of cooperation needed." "The American, British, French an< Italian armies are filled with this tre mendous spirit and the civilian popu lations show the same feeling," hi said. "Every one is quite confiden of the outcome. I say that the gener. al sentiment is one of inspired deter ruination. "So far as the work of our Ameri can forces is concerned, it gives on* the impression of magnitude, tlior. oughness and speedy accomplish ment: No hours of work are beinj observed and there are no limits oi labor. A glimpse of the tremendou! extent of the Amreican supply facili ties, lines of communications, wai^; houses and numerous schools for mef and on leers reminds one or a gigakt tie beehive fille<l with energetic men.' Secretary Baker said he had beei interested to note the extraordinary extent to which American newspa pcrs carry the war news. Europeai papers, he said, were immeasurably jehintl those of this country in thai respect. Mr. Baker declined to discuss the drive on the western front. He said the situation had been aptly covered by Premier Llyod George when h< stated that alternate periods of cheer, fulness and anxiety must be endured for some time to come.
