A Feeding School for Dairy
Farmers in this district will be
held in Newberry, 8. C., at the
Court House on March 4th, begin
ning at 10:30 a. m. and lasting
until approximately 4:00 p. m., ac

county agent E. L. Rogars, of Mc

the Clemjson College Extension
Service and Experiment Station
and will be a thorough and prac
tical study of the feeding problems
confronting dairy farmers. Not only
will these subjects deal with feed

practises having to do with more
profit from dairy cattle.
Subjects studied will include a
study of the digestive tract of the
cow and the functions of digestion
performed throughout; a study
of all classes of feed ingredients
showing the part played by each in
the nutrient requirements of the
cow; feeding the cow in accord
ance with her producing ability;
experiment station and field stud
ies of annual grazing crops; ex
perimental results with permanent
pasture improvement; proper seed
ing and harvesting of legume
roughage crops; growing and feed
ing of silage; feeding and manage
ment of y«ung stock.
All studies will be clearly illus
trated by specially arranged charts
and exhibits. According to C. G.
Cushman, Extension Dairy Spe
cialist of the Clemson College Ex
tension Service, this study course
is the most comprehensive educa
tional project of its kind ever at
tempted by the Dairy Department,
and Mr. Cushman is most anxious
that all dairy farmers take advan
tage of this opportunity to study
this important phase of dairy
farming.

Col. Harllee Visits
McCormick

The Bordeaux H. D. Club, with
Mrs. W. G. Mitchell as hostess,
entertained at a birthday party
on Wednesday, February 12th, in
honor of the club president, Mrs.
G. W. Cade. This party came as a
complete surprise to Mrs. Cade.
Most of the guests came dressed
in colonial costume which gave
an added note of humor to the
occasion.
The hostess presented each
guest with a sheet of paper deco
rated with a red valentine heart and
the honor guest’s full name at the
top of the page. Using the letters
of her name the contestants vied
to see who could make the most
words from them. Mrs. J. C. Link
won first place in this contest.
Then Mrs. Mitchell pinned a
large valentine heart on the wall..
The guests were then blindfolded,
and told to pin a small red valen
tine heart in the center of the large
heart. Mrs. Manly Willis pinned her
heart nearest the center.
Mrs. Mitchell had a “Birthday
Wish Booklet?’^made of red valen
tine hearts, tied with a red ribbon
bow and the guest of honor’s pic
ture in colonial costume on the
cover page. In this each guest
wrote her birthday wish. The book
was then presented to- Mrs. Cade.
Refreshments consisted of sand
wiches and Coffee and were served
by Miss Lettie May South. During
refreshments, Mrs. Mitchell came
in with a suit case, asked the
guest of honor to take a trip with
her and requested her to open the
bag to be sure everything was in
readiness. Upon opening the bag,
Mrs. Cade found many useful and
lovely gifts.

Musical Program
At High School
Auditorium Next
Wednesday Night
Sling season is coming. The boys
will be making their own and prac
ticing on such targets as are avail
able.
But how many boys, or grown
ups—for that matter—know when
slings were first used, and why.
Were they toys, or otherwise?
Slings were used by primitive man
for defense. Proof of this is in the
findings of the Stone Age. In
those early times, men had to de
fend themselves with any weapon
that ingenuity could devise.
The sling was particularly useful,
as it enabled the man to fling
a stone a long distance, and at
tack without being too near his
enemy. Ancient armies have had
entire divisions of slingers.
The Palestinian shepherd had
to be a good slinger. The David-
Goliath story illustrates this. Every
boy had to practice until his aim
was certain and his stone deadly
as a bullet from a gun. A photo
graph of a boy practicing, shows
him balanced firmly on both feet,
the right a full stride behind the
left, while he whirls his sling
around his head.

Baby Chicks Need
Careful Attention
Clemson, Feb. 22.—Thousands of
chicks are lost each year by crowd
ing them in dirty brooder houses,
asserts P. H. Gooding, extension
poultryman, who warns that it is
useless to pay a high price for
high grade chicks if they are not
given good care during the brood-
start the brooding season. The
ceilings, walls, and floor should be
swept carefully and scrubbed with
lye and water. One can of lye-to
15 gallons of water makes one of
the best disinfectants to use.
“One of the most important fac
tors in obtaining a high labor in
come from the poultry flock is the
raising of a high percentage of
chicks. This is shown by brooding
records kept by South Carolina
farmers -during the past eight
years.”
brooding essentials are
listed by Mr. Gooding to help As
sure a successful brooding season:
1. Brood chicks on ground where
chickens have not ranged for sev
eral years, and keep the growing
pullets on a clean range until they
are five months old.
2. Disinfect the brooder house
thoroughly before putting the
chicks in it, and clean the house
at least once a week afterwards.
3. Keep a pan of creolin or some
other disinfectant at the entrance
