It it not expected rubstitution of wood for coal will be complete or universal, as for many purposes coil is much more convenient. But for heating many kinds of building wood is the more convenient an-1 cneaper luei. Tlus is particularl true in the case of churches, halls, summer cottages, and other buildings for which heat is required only occasionally but then is wanted i*? large volume at short notice. Methods of Making Cordwoed. The most common method of making cordwood is to cut the trees into 4-foot lengths with the ax and split the larger pieces. The pieces are then piled in a standard cord, which is 8 feet long, 4 feet high, and t feet wide. The contents are 128 cubic feet, of which about 70 per cent is wood and I?0 per cent ai \ Wood cut 4 feet long can be sold t > brickyards, limekilns, metal-working plants, and other industries, but is too large for household use. Thi method is used chiefly where th? tree growth is comparatively small as in second growth, because siir wood splits easily. Another method, and one better -dapted for old growth hardwoods, whirl^ arc difficult to split, is t:> aw the tree into logs o!" convenient lengths, say from 10 to li'? rod. PhosO "sJUlUt'd" Ollt 10 the edg T th woodland and there sawed an pi it into lengths prop v tor th "ove or furnace. The sawing is usally done by machine, driven either by gasoline or l>\ electricity. The wood is piled -i feet high and 8 feet long, such a pie being called a "stove-wood" or "running-" cord ot "run." When the wood is sawed into 10 inch lengths, as is customary with slovc material, three runs are theoretically equi\alent to one cord. Actually they contain somewhat more wood, since small pieces can be packed more closely than larger ones. Wood a Profitable Farm Crop. Firewood is expected to bring a better profit this year than ever before. It is a much less perishable rop than many which the farmer raises. When properly piled, th? better kinds of wood \? i 11 last from two to three years, although wood steadily deteriorates after the first year. To have the best heating value, a well as to reduce the cost of hauling, wood should be thoroughly seasoned, which means air-drying it from f to fs nionms. However, when pile! o as to get a good circulation of air >0 per cent of the moisture may b'removed in 3 months. Wood cut in October and November, therefore, HARRELSON & HARRELSON Attorneys - at - Law Practice both in the State and Federal Courts. MULLINS, ? ? S.

Plain liviny, strict discipline and great attention to athletic development and competi tion distinguished the school. I was jthe school physician during the years 190C-T2. The health of the schx population was good, with the single exception of u:i unu ual number oi cases of pneumonia among th?? boys both before and during the earlier ycai*s of my connection with the school. In the school year 190C-'7 there were seven cases of pneumonia; in 1907-'8 and 190S-'9 about the same number each year?20 cases in the it i ii roc years. Why should these boys, admitted j to the school only in good health, at an age 12 to 20 years, when serious, sickness is rare, favored by excellent living conditions and regular athlet-! ic training in gymnasium work and out-door sports, have pneumonia year after year, while the masters and their families, under no better conditions, and the employees, apparently less favored, were free from it? During those years this question received much fruitless attention until the following occurrence suggested a solution: A hoy who had been in the inf irmary with fever, coryza and a cough went out convalescent, took a long cross-country run, came in tired and ouickly developed pneumonia. This suggested fatigue in this an i ether cases. It also suggests the ! x s.ability of inspiration of infectious materia! in addition to fatigue, as, n; course, boys exorcising violently an i long breathe violc vly an<l deeply. t'lxamination oi' ihe infirmary roc ' tds showpd that in several instance hoys had hoc: discharged from the infirmary after r< piratory infectioni i - ---;i 1 11v i I . 1.11 ':i 11 iii tur \Yi I ' 1 J)Ilf'U.~ monia. This happen '1 among boys -aught to disdain we akness a id trivial ailments and to admhe athletic excellence, suggesting that athletic zeal 111 rough at the school, by inducing excessive fatigue among the boywhen out of condition had been thcause of pneumonia. may be burned the latter part of the winter. The prices which cordwood lilccl. will bring this year offer the farmer an opportunity to improve iiis wood 'and by weeding out the inferiotrees. In the past this has seldom been practicable, for the inferior wood was not marketable. With the prices indicated for the coming winter, thinnings become practicabl over a wide ran ,e of country in tli vicinity of good markets.

It is rapidly si reading and at present occurs in Bi-nufort, Hampton and Barnwell Counties. It will invade oilier counties before frost.

I SVhile it usually rt qui res th>ce years for tlie lloll Weevil to reach its maximum numbers in iwwly infested territory, the early spread of the ( Weevil this season indicates that it j will be a serious menace to the cotton | production in South Carolina even ir. 1919. Ivccommendulions. The picking of the crop should be 1 i t compicieu at the earliest possible date. If the picking' can bo completed by October 1st, or not later than October 15th, it will open the way for a very complete and practical control of the Weevil. The Roll Weevil can bo practically controlled by the complete destruction 1 ol all green cotton, at least four weeks before killing frosts occur. Two methods of this destruction should be considered: 1st. .Whenever the teams and plows are capable of putting the stalks un- | 'or four in-.'lu . of dirt tho\ should be plowed under. 2nd. When stalks cannot be plowed under deeply they should be uprooted, piled \ hii. p;r vm, and burned as soon is tic foil ay; > is the re a;. h!y dry. If the plains cannot be destroyed by Octob< v 15th. grow tit of plants hould be stopped by topping. As soon as cotton plants are dosroyc !, plant winter crops, such as c.ts, wheat, clover, rye, rape, and arloy. Where legumes, alfalfa, . imson clover, vetches, bur clover, etc., can be used as winter crops they five even move valuable than grain 1 ops. Begin now to. prepare for next year's crop by careful winter and spring plowing. Select seed front your best plants, using year earliest matured plants for the purpose. Avoid seed not adapted to your section. If wilt or Mack root occur on land you propose danting in cotton, select onlv tbo \v ill-resisting types. Confer freely .vith the State Entomologist, Clemon College, who will advise you. .Maul; at earliest time you can reasonably avoid damage by frost, using! early maturing varieties. Consult j your County Demonstration Agent on rotation of crops and improved farm ing methods. Bear in mind these two very important facts, which are essential in diminishing boll weevil destruction: Plant early maturing seed and bring your cotton to maturity as early as possible, picking it early and quickly destroying the stalks either by burning or turning under.

L- rir hau's of prbonei4* have been made in the last few days and several villages have been capture (, but at no point have the Germans given ground voluntarily, the allies having to fight, and fight hard, for every yard gained. The most bitter struggle is going on north of Verdun, where the Am ericans and Germans are swaying back and forth over a most difficult terrain, in a desperate battle for a commanding 'series of ridges on both sides of the Meuse. The enemy realizes this is the most vital point in his lines, a veritable Achilles heel, and is measuring the importance of this ground in the expenditure of a staggering' toll in man power. Once the Stcnay gap is reach ed, the German retreat across the Meuse and through Luxemburg is cut off. The Americans have only ten miles to go. COPY SI MMONS FOR RELIEF (Complaint Not Served.)

NOT REQUIRE OUTFIT That is Very Expensive to the Farmers of this Country AGRICULTURE DEPT. ISSUES TWO BULLETINS Sheep Raising is Important Matter for Southern Farmers. I I Equipment for raising sheep on i farms need not bo expensive. In , mild latitudes little housing is needJcd; and the main need is for fencing ; and pastures of sufficient number i and size to allow frequent changing of flocks to fresh ground to insure health. Where winters are longer and more severe buildings and sheds are necessary to furnish protection from storms, though no special provisions are needed for warmth. Dryness, good ventilation, and freedom from drafts are the tirst requisites of buildings for sheep. Convenience in fee'ing and shepherding must also he held in mind in locat. ing and planning such buildings or i sheds. Small flocks can he cared for in sections of barns having stabling or feed storage for other stock, but with a flock of, say, 100 ewes separate buildings are desirable. The j interior arrangement of these build | ings should be such as to require a minimum of labor and the least posi ible moving of the ewes in doing the feeding and caring for them j during the lambing season. A build ing of this type can also be utilized for fattening purchased lambs to be | disposed of before lambing begins in j me regular farm flock. A good sup; ply of feed racks, grain troughs, , i etc., can be provided at small exi' pense and will save labor and prevent waste of feed. ? MEMORIAL. It is with deep regret we miss ' little James Leon Ray, from his accustomed place in bis Sunday school class. We miss his little voice in song and response. He was a good little boy, kind and friendly ; to all. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family in their great bereavement, but we feel that in their great sorrow, there is a sweet solace in God's promises, for we feel assured little Jamie is with the sweet angels' throng, around the throne of God. ?Hal King, Teacher, Union Sunday School Class No. 2.
