V. Starkey, animal hus bandman; C. G. Cushman, exten sion dairyman; and P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. Animal Husbandry Feed enough of a well balanced ration to keep spring-farrowing lows gaining slightly. Keep the hogs grazing on small grain and sow rape for grazing. Feed ewes one-half pound of grain per head per day. Dock and castrate lambs when 10 to 14 days old. Keep the breeding cows main taining their weight without gain or loss. Clean out stables and scatter manure where most needed. Repair the fences and sow grass seeds for permanent pastures. Dairying Breed as many cows as possible during February for calving in No vember and early December. Plan abundance of home-grown feed for next winter’s feeding. Continue to repair fences, clean up the lots and grounds, and white wash out-buildings and fences. Watch calves and yearlings for lice, which at this season do great est damage. Provide for each mature cow: Legume hay, two tons; corn, eight bushels; velvet beans, 420 bushels; oats, 15 bushels; four sacks cotton seed meal; permanent pasture, two acres; soiling crops, one-fourth acre. Poultry Put brooding equipment in work ing order. Hatch chicks at the proper time, or place "order with a reliable hat chery for delivery date desired. Provide clean range for chicks and pullets. Hold hatching eggs not over 10 days before setting. Save Choice Animals For Breeding Herds CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 28.- “There never was a better time to select real foundation animals for .future profitable livestock develop- ' ment. Of .course no one knows how soon prices are going to be better— but fortunate is the man who has the choicest herds of livestock when that time does come.” This is the view of Prof. L. V Starkey, chief animal husbandman here, who asserts that it is a splen did time for individuals and com munities to select sires of the best breeding which can be had now a a very reasonable price. He advise also that farm herds be culled care fully of scrubs for even if feed cheap one cannot afford to feed i to scrubs. “It has been the history of th livestock industry that some of th most outstanding herds as well a the outstanding individuals hav been sacrificed, for depression cer tainly plays havoc with enthusiasn and plans,” says Prof. Starkey, urg ing farmers to save the choices animals for the breeding herds. “When prices are low, the spreac between choice and inferior indi viduals is much less than when prices are high. For this reasor careful selections should be mad during times of depression so that a greater profit may be realized when prices are more favorable,” h>. continues. “A breeder should cer tainly not sell his top animals just because he can get a few more dol lars per head, if he can possibly arrange to keep them in his herd.” CITATION OF LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick.

WNU Service I T WAS the summer after Mary I.es ter’s sophomore year in the state university that she met Bob l.anio at a country house-party. Bob Lamb bad just linished bis junior year at a small er college. It was perfectly clear from the end of the tirst day at the hospit able old farmhouse that Mary liked Bob and that Bob was keen about Mary. But Bob thought he itad no right to speak about marriage—he had a year more of college and it would be still another year—whatever work lie took up—before he could think of sup porting a wife. But he did not hesi tate to tell Mary of his feelings for her. For the time all he begged of her was that she would permit him to be somewhere near her. It was Mary’s idea, then, that Bob should transfer himself from the smaller college and enter the senior class of the university she attended. So when Mary went back to college it was noised about that she had brought a “heavy suitor” with her. The girls in her fraternity house laughed at her and with her. Then one of them sitting at the piano began softly playing the strains of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” The girls took up the words and Mary sat there blushing. “But Bob’s fleece isn’t as white as snow,” protested Mary weakly. “He has black hair.” “But he did follow you to school one day—jou’ll have to admit that,” laughed one of the girls, and they went on singing their song. Bob Lamb had been transferred from the fraternity in his own college to the chapter in the university where it was soon passed around that they had a girl to thank for the transfer. “Nice girl—Mary Lester—a Junior Gamma Sigma,” Informed one of the men. “Some one ought to drop a word of thanks to Mary—she did us a good turn.” One of the men who had listened to the remark began softly to whistle the notes of “Mary Had a Little ljunb.” Some one with a bass voice began croaking the words; A tenor took it up. Two others joiued in and the im promptu quartette stood up with mock solemnity and chanted the song. No one meant to give offense hut everywhere Boh Lnmh appeared with Mary—at college dances, at concerts or just strolling uround the campus—„ there was always some one nearby to warble or whistle the annoying tune. All Bob desired was just to be some where with Mary. Yet as the teasing persisted .they saw less and less Of each other than they had hoped would be possible by both attending the same college. So after the end of Mary’s junior year and Bob Lamb’s senior year they felt that they had seen far too little of one another. Bob was going to New York to go into business with his uncle and Mary would lie hack at college for her Anal year—a thousand miles from New York. Bob heard of a college camp some where in the next state. 'I*here was a tent colony for the men and another for the women—a stmly camp where. serious-minded students went to study astronomy under the direction of a number of renowned astronomers. Neither Bob nor Mary had ever felt more than a passing interest in the study of the stars, hut at least there would be opportunity to see each oth er at lectures and on observation ex cursions. They could sit together in the evening on mountain tops gazing at the stars. True, there would be the other students and the learned pro fessors, hut there would be no one to tease them. They needn’t let anyone know that they had ever met before. It was Mary’s Idea that their names must not go with them. Some one might think of the stupid song about Mary and her little lamb. It would be simple enough in Mary’s case. She could easily use her middle name, Ella. It took some maneuvering on Bob’s part. Finally he took an old friend. Bill Ball, into his confidence and ar ranged to Use his college certificate for enrollment. For the first two weeks of the ses sions at the summer camp everything went beautifully. Then It became ap parent that Bob—now Bill Ball—and Mary—not Ella—contrived to sit next to each other on all occasions. One evening when the class of campers were starting off up the mountain side some one in the party began to hum the tune of the nursery song that had become so odious to Mary. It seemed as if everyone took up the air—whis tling or warbling as they went. Then some one began singing the words. “Ella had a little Ball, his fleece w r as black as coal— And everywhere that Ella w r ent the Ball was sure to roll.” | “Let’s pretend w r e don’t know they mean us.” whispered Mary. “That won’t work.” said Bob Lam— rather Bill Ball. “Let’s pretend to like it.” So they stuck it out—wherever they were seen together some one w’as pret ty sure to take up the notes of the old song. And at the end Bob got a letter from his uncle—offering him a little more than he had expected by w r ay of a beginner’s salary. On the strength of this Bob asked Mary to marry him as soon as they left sum mer camp. Mary, In spite of a final year at college, was willing. “Don’t let’s have a church wedding,” she suggested. “The organist, would he sure to play that hateful tune In stead of the wedding march.” Every Woman in McCormick needs this Bo< * .s .jW* 1 •»** A** Li ° When friends drop in they’ll welcome ice-cold bottles of Coca-Cola with cheese crackers, sandwiches or cookies. w»-«»o.i* GREENWOOD COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Greenwood, S.

Chicken-Eating Hogs Need Animal Protein CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 28.— A lack of animal protein in the ra tion often causes hogs to eat chid ens. but if the ration contains er fishmeal or tankage or a sonable amount of skimmilk.j will not as a rule deiielo: chicken-eating habit, L. V. Starkey, chief of bandry here, answe from farmers. Once the habit h ever, it is very diffic Where chickens eat] there is more like! developing the hab wise. For this reason have the hogs fed as chicken quarters as po: While brood sows are forage, either of the thr listed below should sat appetites for animal pr decrease their chicken-eat ency. 1. Feed one-fourth pound meal per head per day and corn to keep them in the 6' condition. 2. Feed one-half gallon of sklm- milk or buttermilk per head per day and enough com to keep them in the desired condition. 3. Feed one-fourth pound of fish meal and enough ground oats and corn, eaual parts by weight, to keep the sows in the desired condition. If hogs are fed in dry lot more protein will be required, say one- half pound of fishmeal per day, which helps to take the place of the forage and supplies the amount of protein needed in the ration.
