A BAD SCHEME ^
o? b
We are glad to see that so many tl
citizens of South Carolina are opposed
to unhersal or compulsory ^
military training. This is a custom b
that belonged to the dark ages and s
has ultimately caused the downfall ?
of every nation that practiced it.
With the system being advocated n
we are trying to do the very thing c
we condemned so 'Strongly in (ler- ^
many. The day such a system becomes
affective in America is the
day our boasted American freedom
ceases to be a reality and we will 11
have taken a long stride towards ?
impercalism or militarism. If neces-.
sity arises, and the selection draft
system has to be set in motion, that
wiil suffice for any emergency as
as has been demonstrated in the fj
past two ; ears. We hope there are o
enough blue blooded Americans j to a
nip this so called universal training ^
propaganda in the bud?it's a bad j,
scheme. u
OF INTEREST TO FARMERS v

Edited by T. M. Cathcart
d
Make County Fair Educational u
County fairs could be made more ]
educational if proper attention were $
paid to the judging of the livestock, t
Instead of judging in the barns or y
back of the bams, at an hour when s
few can be present, the judging c
should be held in front of the grand- lstaad
or in a level open space, where j
exhibitors and interested spectators c
may see what is going on. The judg- f
ing might be in the morning, when t
there are no races. All animals t
should be brought out, even when r
mere is no competition. t
The judges should line up the ani- (
mals in each class after they are a
placed, in the order in which the
ribbons have been placed, and give
breifly the reasons why the animals
were so placed. Each class should
be lined up in the same order, always
beginning at the same side. In
this manner the exhibitors and oth- a
ers will get the full educational ben- c
efit of the show, which is more im- .s
portant than the making of awards, j
Pig skins and steer hides are the s
best grain sacks a man can have on tthe
farm. The only safe way to sue- t
cess against unfavorable markets, 0
opposing climatic conditions and de- ft
structive insect life, is to have some- \
thing to sell every week in the year. r
The way to do this is to grow grass f
for pastures, soybeans, velvet beans, t
peanuts, corn, oats and wheat for t
grain; have some cows, a few steers, ,
pigs and chickens and we will pros- t
per and become independent. This c
system spells success for us no mat- j
ter who we are or where we live. r
The use of milk in feeding chick- j
er.s will double egg production.
The hen never lays an egg until j
all the ingredients necessary for the 'j
( complete development of the chick r
are present. Since the egg contains (
protein, as well as carbohydrates,
the amount of the carbahydratcs
fed in the form of grain will not fl
oiTset the necessity of protein. Mi.k v
given to the birds, either as a drink t.
or in the form of wet mask, will ?
double egg yields. Commercial meat [i
scraps are of equal value, and may
iie substituted when milk cannot be e
obtained.

Receipts for Using Grapes
Canned Grapes
Canning is a very eionomical way ,
f utilizing Muscadine grapes, since '
ittle sugar is required for this proess.
The canned grapes are suitable
or sening on the home table in 1
auce dishes as a breakfast appetizr,
a side dish, or a dessert. They
an be used also in pies, puddings,
akes etc. 1
Sugar-Syrup Method <
In canning the whole berries by s
? ? ? Ilea firm 4
nc bugur'b)iup mciiiuvi wot
ipe fruit. Slit all the berries on the i
kle horizontally with a small-bladed i
nife, and then brush the seeds from 1
hem with the point of the knife,
'aek the seeded whole berries, cold,
i pint jars and pour over the fruTt 1
ntil the jars arc filled a sugar-syrup '
lade by boi'ing equal measures of
ugar and water together for 1
vnute. After allowing to stand for
alf an hour to permit the syrup to
cep through the slit in the berries, 1
i nil the jars with syrup, and put
lie rubbers and caps in place with
he jar clamp in a raised position,
lien steam the jars in a home
learner unt:i the skins have softened
nd the fruit and jars are sterilized,
v'hile the jars are still hot refill
. ith boi ing sugar-syrup and then
ial by clamping down the lid. The *
roper length of time to steam jt
ruit and jars varies with the varie-1i
y. The Scuppemong requires ap-! 5
roximately an hour; the James
hould steam an hour and a half;
:i?i tin- Thomas will require fully t
>vo hours. The aim should be to c
team the fruit long enough to soft- ;
n the- skins w ithout having the her- \
its break down. Unless the seed ?
re removed so that the sugar syrup l
ets inside as well as outside, the ?
errics shrivel up when canned by r
his process.
Spiced Grapes
Spiced Muscadine grapes are much
he same as canned grapes prepared j
y the cooking method, except for
pices. The product is slightly more f
xpensive and more dilficult to make,
ut a small amount of it will be de- ?
irable for the sake of variety, and <
iany people greatly prefer the spi- j
v products to those having pure
luii flavors.
The method used for making spic- i
d grapes is essentially like the cook- (
ig method of canning the grapes. ,
After combining the softened hulls
nd seeded pulps. ior every 5 pounds ?
f fresh fruit used add the follow- 1
j
2l/s pounds of sugar.
2 ounces of ground cinnamon. I
1' 2 ounces of ground cloves. 1
'2 pint of vinegar.
Then boii the mixture over a slow j
re unti: a little thick. If .r> pounds
f fruit are used this will require j
bout an hour's boiling. j
Since the flavor of the spices preominates,
the variety factor is of; ]
?ss importance than in other prod- j
cts. Some people prefer a special!
uoduct made as above, but with tlm 1
incgar, flic cloves, and half the sug- i
r omitted.
Consertes \
Muscadine grape conserves are
lelicious products, well adapted for 1
se in making sandwiches for school
(inches. They also make a good desert
and may be used as a substiute
for preserves, jam, etc. They '
re slightly more expensive than
ome of the products already dis- 1
ussed, but if orange pectin solution
las been prepared in connection with
oily making, the making of these
unserves will utilize the orange
com which the peel was taken for
he pectin solution. The fact that ]
hey contain raisins, oranges, and j
(uts in addition to grapes makes '
hem a very wholesome combination.
)ne recipe for making conserves is
is follows:
3 pounds of grapes. <
1 pound of sugar. <
pound of finely ground raisins.
2 large oranges.
Vz pound of finely ground pecans.
Takes sound, ripe oranges. Weigh ,
nd pulp them. Treat the pulps as in
anning, in order to remove the
eeds. Grind the.hulls fine in a meat
friiider or chop them as fine as posible.
and then soften them as in J
anning. Place the hulls and pulps
ogether and add for every 3 pounds '
I fresh fruit 1 scant pound of sugar 1
ialf a pound of finely ground raisins,
he meaty part of two large Califorlia
oranges, and one-fifth of the
pound peel of one orange. Cook
his mixture approximately an hour <
iver an even, slow fire until it is '
eal thick. Then stir into the mix 1
ure one-half pound of ground pean-nut
meats. After again allowing
t to boil for about five minutes remove
it from the fire, pack solid y
n small containers, such as i-ounce
a,IK- nid rover with
?.M j. . ?- >arafF;n.
If the product is packed ir,
ars, these can be processed for 1." ,
ninutes, in order to sterilize the
'ontents.
Mincemeat
Muscadine grape mincemeat is anther
appetizing an>! di.-tinctive predict,
somewhat like conserves, but
hcaper, and containing fewer ingredients.
So manges are required
n. making mincemeat. This is an '
important consideration, since orang- '
- are expensive and often very
va.Cv in parts ?." the Muscadine
rape territory at the time the grapes
re ripening. The grape mincemeat,
s its name implies is a substitute
or ordinary mincemeat In making 1
ies equal parts of the mincemeat '
nd chopped apples are usually usil.
but the mincemeat is a delicious
roduct without the addition of aj>h'S.
To make the mincemeat puip the f
rape>. p'aeing the puip in one por- |
[*!ain vessel and the hulls in anoth- |
r. Cover the hulls with water, boil !
ioVntly until tender, and then run j
i.vnnn-h -a meat grinder. using the 1
arsest plate. To the pulp and juice 1
<M a teacup of water (one-haif I
int) for every quart of pulp and
iiice; boil until tender (about 15
linutcs). and press through a eolnder
to eliminate the seeds. Then
lix the pulp, juice and hulls, and t?
very quart of the mixture add: 3
The pulp of one lemon.
me ground white rind of 1 lemon, s
iwo cups (1 pint) of sugar. !
One grated nutmeg.
Boil until of a thick, smoth con
sistency?that is, until it flakes or
sheets when ; oured from a spoon,
seal while hot in sterilized jars.
In using this for mincemeat pies
lit. one part of chopped apples fo:
?ach part of grape mincemeats or.
.vhere fall apples are available, these
:an be added when making the
nincemeat.

HAD TO CRAWL UP
AND DOWN STAIRS
-lagerstown, Md. Man Was All Crippled
Up With Rheumatism?Tells
How He Found Medicine That
Relieved Him.
It certainly requires a medicine 01
rreat power and extraordinary virue
to save a man or woman brought
tear the dark grave by disease and
suffering.
John W. Petre of 127 Fairground
venue, Hagerstown, Md., was all
rippled up with rheumatism of the
oints and muscles. He was in a
ntiable condition. "I was full of
>ain ail over my body," he says in
i signed statement. "I could hardly
nove. I had to crawl up and down i
:he stairs."
Rut his words of sorrow and suf- j
'ering have been changed to a song,
)f gladness as he now says, joyfully I
'But now I walk as good as ever. I
ind I'm sure proud of it! I owe it;
ill to the new herb medicine?
3reco!
"First I didn't think there was
my medicine made could touch my i
:ase or help me the least bit. But
I've changed my mind about that
because this Dreco medicine certainy
changed me from a cripple into
i well man. I wouldn't be without a
x>ttle of Dreco in my house for
inything."
Dreco is made from juices and e.\;racts
of many medicinal herbal
slants which act on the vital organs
n a pleasant and prompt manner.
