Farmer's Note Eligible for Rediscount at Richmond. "Now this moans that we have two avpnues of relief: First, the Wado loan fund ($135,000,00); second, the discount feature of the i federal re serve act," said John L. McLaurin, State cotton warehouse commissioner yesterday, in discuBsing the result of a trip to Washington and Now .York. "In both " cases the situation 1b squBrely- up to the banks in South Carolina. Tho federal government of fers the machinery; if wo fail to take advantage of the opportunity, we are responsible for the consequences." Mr. McLaurin has prepared a statement which defines the attitude of the* federal reserve board and oth ers toward South Carolina's cotton warehouse, system. The statement follows: I am making this statement in re sponse to numerous inquiries as to how much money may bo obtained on State warehouse certificates, and you can hand inclosed copies to your local banks and other. interest ed.

'ist be on sane' business principles. Consulted Mr. McAdoo. On November 17-1 addressed a let ter to Secretary McAdoo, setting! forth the terms of the warehouse and | acreage reduction acts, calling spe cific attention to the former, viz: "1. The title of the cotton Is made absolute to the holder of a Stute j warehouse receipt. "2. The weight, grade and condi- ! tion of the cotton are guaranteed by the State of South Carolina. "3. The identity of each bale 1st fixed in the receipt so as to prevent ' substitution. I give a heavy bond, j and bonds are exacted from man a-1 gern, weighers and graders. "4." The State grants holders of receipts permission to erstand estab lish rights under s?me. This right docs not exist even as to State bonds, as they can bo repudiated and the hohler can nut sue the ?t?te." I asked Secretary McAdoo if "a farmer's note indorsed by his lien merchant and accepted by a member bank, would be discounted by the federal reserve bank at Richmond." I sent a copy of this letter to Senator Tiliman and a copy to Congressman Lever. The following letters aro self-explanatory: "Washington, D.'C. "December 4, 1914." "Hon. John L. McLaurin, Columbia, S. C. "My dear Senators: I have Just re ceived the inclosed letter from the! reserve board, which explains itself. I had to write Secretary McAdoo again before I could get a reply, but I suppose this was due to the fact that they were figuring Just what; kind of answer to give. If I can | you further let me know.

Your first ewes can be native ewes, purchased 'from near-by sh?ep owners. Go into a flock and pick out vigorous owes with compact bodies. Get young healthy ewes, If you must buy old ones, do not take those having spread, broken, or worn-off teeth. Buch ewes can not eat well and will make no money as breeders for their purchas ers. Do not use anything hut good rams of a mutton breed .upon your ewes. A. Southdown, Shropshire, Hamp shire, or Dorset Horn ram will prove most desirable. He should be about 2 years of age, healthy, and carry plenty 02 mutton: Such a ram will cost delivered, from $16 to $25, and cad bo bought by a ha.'? dozen farm ers clubbed together. He will breed from 40 to 60 ewes. Protection from Stones aad Begs; Sheep do not require cloned build ings tor protection from cold, as their fleeces-afford protection If kept dry. A low shed, built on dry ground and opening to' the south, "Is' sufficient. Buch a. shed neerj cost but very little, as scraps of lumber' about the farm can be utilised In building it Place your flocks within a dog proof fenced enclosure at night as dogs often attack and destroy shoep. A fence that will turn a dog must be at least 60 Inches high, have a barbed wire' stretched flat to the surface of the ground at Its bottom, and-three barbed wir?? 7 Inces apart stretched at the top. Tho apace between the bar bed wires can be filled in with old boardB, poles or any other fonce building material, provided it Is so built as to keep the dog from crawl Ing through. General Care of the Ewes. Often ewes'become taggy or have dungy locks collect on the wool about the tail and' between the hind legs Such locke should bo cut off and tho ewes kept clean1 abottt~thls part of the body. Ticks and lice frequently " infect Bheep. Guard against this by dipping once j each year In dips for this pur pose. A rain barrel or tub can bo used to hold the dip. Pick up bodily and work'it r?und"'ij'PsdujUly va, the' dip un til all par tu are submerged and drenched to the ekln? Keep salt before' the nock at ait times. Sheep require a great deal oi salt and It is essential for them. Glvo the sheep access to all haryest ed and vacated fields, but do not de pend entirely--upon -such -forages. - The Ideal way is to provide lots of forage of tench sise as will pasture the flocks for only two week periods during vvtcm weather. By changing th? pas turing ; ground of lambs every two weeks there ie little danger of loss ftrom stomach wonas, as clean pair tu^es do not infect sheep. Rape, sow* peas, oats, vetch, crimson cloven and soy beans should constitute tho prin cipal forages used. During the fall and winter permanent pastures can be used. Even regular fields of wintov wheat and barley can bo pastured Without injury to them. * s When na*turo Is not available'feed hay or fodder to tho flock. Keep up the appetites of the.ewsB by adding small quantities of rape, collards, chopped cabbage, or rots ; along with the hay.
