ly if every farm family, in
tenants, raised such easily
crops as turnips, mustard,
potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes,

extension horticulturist, urging
agclta also that plenty of vegetables
and greens are essential to the best

Livestock Calendar
For Early Spring
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 30.—
Preparation is the keynote in the
livestock suggestions for February
by Prof. L. 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.”

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.”
