Our friends will please not ask us to deviate from these rules. Old Home Ties The old home and the old church have wonderful influ ence upon our lives. Ties ar.' formed in childhcod that are strong in death. Often when people go away and die away from home they express a desire to be carried back to the old home church to be buried. If no such desire is expressed, the loved ones who are living nearly always carry out that unex pressed wish. If the home and church has such strong hold upon our lives we ought to be more careful in the home and hi the church to make the very besi impressions, for they last thru life. Misbehavior in Church A deacon said to the preacher: "What makes some people a] ways misbehave in church9' The preacher answered: "I may be that the people whc misbehave at church were nol well raised at home; or perhap. they have very little sense, nol enough to know how to behave but if they have been well raiset and have good sense and stil m isbehavo there is onlyf pne wa) to explain it, and that is a vety very black heart which ha deadened all the sense of hono in- thern.

But they can make grape-juice which is better than wine. If you don' believe it, ask Mr. Bryan. They are having an argument up ii No'th Calina about when the world wil come to an end. Perhaps the "argy neors" never read the 24th chapter of St Matthewv, and especially tqe 36th verse "But of that day and hour knoweth n) Iman; no, not the angels of heaven, bu my Father only."

COW AND HER PRODUCT1 e [These notes are pre pared by the r dairy divisionof Clemson College, which will be glad to answer any questions -pertaining to dairyinjg.]. In nearly every case, a suc cessfuli dair~'man is a man who - finds pleasure in handling and caring for cattle. Kindness is a e' real factor in milk production. The average cow in South Carolina, kept under average conditions, does not pay for her keep. Get b)etter cows and c:are for them better if you would profit by them. - Skimmilk is an excelleftfeed1 for fatten in .cte-g or for mra mg hens lay. Its value for pigs'Is known b~y all. It usually pays better to feed skimmilk to pigs than to feed It to calves, when the calves are I to be susequently sold for beef. -ut I o are selling cream or ' utrfrom four or more cows, Syou should be using a cream t separator. It is easy to prove r this by figures. For information as to raising .the calves that are to be kept r for the dairy herd on skimmilk, - wr'ite the dairy division of (Clem son College. Any one who expects to keep ten or more cows should begin to make plans for building a silo this summer. Silage is the best cow feed available in South Carolina.
