Gives Economy Plan For Wintering Cattle CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 21.— To accomplish the aim of cattle men to bring their breeding heras through the winter at a low cost and without much loss in weight cheap feeds must be used, and these must be reasonably palatable and furnish a reasonable amount of digestible nutrients, advises Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief animal husbandman, who deplores the common mistake of leaving cattle on a scanty permanent pasture in the fall until they are rather thin in flesh and then feeding a ration which brings them through the winter still thinner. To leave cattle on pasture late frithogt causing them to lose weight, Pr<#- siarkex suggests hav ing a reserved permanent pasture —one which is not grazed during at least the last half of the sum mer. “When the regular pasture fails to maintain the cattle weight, shift them to the reserved pasture and thus delay winter feeding at least a month,” he says. “When an abundance of .such pasture is available cattle may be grazed un til early February if cottonseed meal, one to three pounds per head per day, is fed.” Besides shortening the winter feeding period, this method, Prof. Starkey states in conclusion, has the additional advantages of sav ing labor and making the soil more fertile. The cottonseed meal feeding adds nitrogen to the soils and increases grass production for the following years. IXI r Grain For Ewe Flock Advised By Starkey CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 21.— The amount of grain needed by the ewe flock will depend upon the amount and quality of roughage which they receive, says L. V.

TIME FOR EVERYTHING Miss Rea M. Haines of Dayton, Ohio writes: “I weighed 180 so started to take Kruschen. I never was so surprised as when I weighed myself the first week—I lost 7 pounds. I just bought my 3rd jar and am down to 145—am still tak ing them and never felt better in my life.” (June 17, 1932). To take off fat—take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast—one bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but a few cents —get it at any drugstore in Am erica. If this first bottle fails to convince you this is the SAFE and harmless way to lose fat—your money gladly returned. Don’t accept anything but Krus chen because you must reduce safe ly. —Adv. The disciples had many worries. They wanted to get it clear as to their relative positions in the new Kingdom; they were concerned because outsiders, not properly initiated into the organization, were claiming to be followers of Jesus and doing miracles in his name. They fretted because there was so much work to be done and the days too short for doing it. But Jesus towered magnificently above it all. Wherever he went the children flocked. Pomp and circumstances mean nothing to them. Their instinct cuts through all outward semblance with a keen swift edge. So they swarmed around, tugging at his garments, climbing on his knees, begging to hear more of his stories. It was all highly improper and wasteful in the disciples’ eyes. But Jesus would have none of it. “Suffer little children to come unto me!” he commanded. And he added one of those sayings which should make so clear the message of his gospel. “They are the very essence of the Kingdom of Heaven,” he said, “unless you become like them you shall in no wise enter in.” Like them . . . like the children . . . laugh ing . . . joyous . ~. unaffected . . . trusting implicitly . . . with time to be kind. To be sure Jesus was not always in the crowd. He had his long hours of withdrawal when, in communion with his Father, he refilled the deep reservoirs of his strength and love. Toward the end he was more preoccupied. He knew months in advance that if he made an other journey to Jerusalem his fate would be sealed; yet he never wav ered in his decision to make that journey. Starting out on it, his mind filled with the approaching conflict, his shoulders burdened With the whole world’s need, he heard his name called out from the roadside in shrill unfamiliar tones. „ “Jesus . . . Jesus . . . thou son of David . . . have mercy on me.” It was the voice of a useless blind beggar. Jesus stopped. “Who called my name?” “Nobody, Master . . . only a blind beggar ... a worthless fellow . . . Bartimaeus . . . nobody at all . . . we’ll tend to him,” said the dis ciples. “Bring hiqi here.” Trembling with hope he was guided forward. The deep rich eyes of the Master looked into those sightless eyes. The mind which had been buried in the greatest problem with which a mind ever wrestled, gave itself unreservedly to the problem of one forlorn human life. Here was need; and he had time. . . . The man was healed. Next Week: Be of Joy and Good Cheer . . . Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co. Xy CLorlos E. Difttitt, shirt waists are severe in line' to click in with the mannish mode.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Cotton of the 1932 crop ginned prior to January 16 was reported by the census bureau today to have total ed 12,418,310 running bales, includ ing 666,003 round bales, counted as half bales, and 7,402 bales of Am is fed, a mixture | erican-Egyptian. Ginnings to January 16 a year ago totaled 15,996,382 bales, includ ing 589,483 round bales and 10,868, bales of American-Egyptian. Ginnings this year to January 16 by states were: , Alabama, 927,809; Arizona, 60,- 219; Aarkansas, 1,253,549; Cali fornia, 119,667; Florida, 15,423; Georgia, 853,348; Louisiana, 593,- 018; Mississippi, 1,149,614; Missouri, 289,783; New Mexico, 63,963; North Carolina, 668,157; Oklahoma, 1,050,- 679; South Carolina, 707,666; Ten nessee, 451,542; Texas, 4,166,715; Virginia, 29,974; all other states, 12,784. Straddling with a second plant ing the rows of a first planting of corn that has become infested with webworms, instead of plow ing them under, safeguards the crop, as webworms stay on the original plants as long as they re main. Deprived of the first plant ing, thte pest transfers its attention to the second. Harvesting the first and second crops of alfalfa at a time when the alfalfa weevil, in its larval stage, will be left exposed to the sun helps remove still another insect pest. Changing the crop rotation, as many farmers know, greatly minimizes the threat from corn rootworm, most dangerous when corn follows corn in the same field. These and many other cultural practices that discourage insect pests have the added advantage of promoting best plant growth. Well- cultivated, properly fertilized fields where only good seed has been sowed produce robust plants that suffer least from insect attack and give highest yields. In this lesson Jesus takes exception to the artificial Sabbath regu lations of His time. Numerous petty prohibitions made the day an excessively burdensome one. It was forbidden to trod grass on the Sabbath, to wear shoes with nails, or, as our lesson indicates, to pluck grain. One is reminded of the quaint Sunday laws of the Puritans, forbidding a woman to kiss her child, cook victuals, or make beds, pre venting a man from shaving, and banning all travel, except that re quired for attendance at public worship. By such trivial rules the cherished liberty of the Lord’s Day was seriously curtailed. The Master brushed aside all such absurd embargoes. To Him they were more honored in the breach than in the observance. He pointed out how David, on the ground of hunger, defied the strict law of the tabernacle. To Jesus the needs of humanity came first. This is vividly illustrated by the incident in the lesson of the heal ing of the man with a withered hand. The Master’s enemies were eager to make this merciful act an occasion of accusation. In the light of a generous interpretation of their law, they had no case, for medical assistance on the Si'bbath was not absolutely forbidden. But, by legal quibbling, they could argue that the cure was a piece of work, involving the release of a high degree of energy, and therefore in viola tion of Sabbath legislation. Jesus openly and indignantly rebuked them by defying their casuistry, and restoring to the cripple the use of his hand. The principle upon which our Lord acted is given in that great say ing chosen as the Golden Text, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” The needs of man were central with Jesus. This means that not only are rest and worship to be promoted on Sunday, but also inspiring recreation, congenial friendship, and helpful service.
