(Theso notes nro prepared by the dairy division of Clemson College, which will be glnd to answer any questions pertaining to dairying). In nearly every case, u successful dairyman is a man who finds pleas ure in handling and caring for cat? tle. Kindness Is a real factor in milk production. The average cow in South Caro? lina, kept under average conditions, does not pay for her keep. Get better cows and care for them bet? ter If you would profit by them. Sktmmilk Is an excellent feed for flattening chickens or for makln I hens lay. Its value for pigs Is known by all. It usually pays better to feed ftktmmilk to pigs than to feed it to calves, when the calves are to be subseiuentlv sold for beef. If you are selling c/cum or butter from four or more cows, you should be uslpg a cream separator. It Is easy to prove this by llgures. For Information as to raising the calve* that are to hi kept for the dairy herd on sktmmilk. write the dairy division of Clemson College., Any one wh? expects to keep le t or more OOWI ?hoop| begin to make plana for bull !lng a silo this sum? mer SU Ige is the best CoW feed avallal le in South Carolina. Nobody likes to walk ubou! In mud and tilth while caring for cat? tle. With a little work and small expense the row lot can be made a better place to go into. The Dairy DtVtetOg of ClOflsBOn College will be glad to furnish information about thi. The wild cow gAVf only enough milk to support its young.

ADDITIONS TO DAIRY EQUIP? MENT. New Machinery Will Enable Clem? son Croinery to Make 3,600 Pounds Rutter Weekly. Clemson College, March 8.?New machinery that equips the creamery to manufacture 3,600 pounds of first quality butter weekly, it if becomes necessary to make that much, has been added to the Clemson college creamery and is already in opera- ' tion. The additions were made neces? sary by the astonishingly rapid growth of the cooperative creamery project bt ing carried on by the ex- j tension and dairy divisions of the i college with the farmers of the j Pledtnon* counties, At present the output ? the cr iamery is 1,000 the. weekly, that the n< -.\ equipment eapoet I to be ami le for a con? siderable ?ertod to come. The recent equipment increases j were so so planned that if the present capacity of 3,000 pounds of butter weekly were to be reached by in OrOasOf In cream shlnments, it would 1 V j be possible at small expense and by the addition of only a few pieces to increase the capacity to 7,200 j pounds weekly, double the present figure. The most important piece of the new equipment is the 600-pound churn. which is electrically driven. The new churn contrasts strongly with the 100-pound churn which i'. supplanted. * Perhaps the most Interesting piece of the new machinery and one that is having A decided Influence in im? proving tho quality of the butter Is a S00?gallon ripening vat. into this vat are poured 300 gallons of cream. Through the middle of the vat is j a spiral of piping, Water heated to a high temperature Is passed through this piping t(> pasteurize the cream. When pasteurisation has been com? pleted, the temperature of the water In the piping is sc? regulated as to keep the temperature of the cream j at about 70 degrees. This is the torrect temperature for ripening cream. The advantages of the ri? pening vat an* several and impor ! tant. Finally. the creamery has in? stalled I '.""'-pound hydraulic butter printer, with lour extra butter boxes. Formerly the butter was printed In Its one-pound pieces by hand. The i , new hydraullcally operated machine can print 80 pounds of butter while !?? man i* printing 30 pounds by 1 and. It |s also easier to control cleanliness with tho machine print? ing, Tim new equipment of the eol l ige creamery has not only greatly Increased it.-: capacity for output, but has also Improved the quality of i i butter markedly. Even before this machinery was Installed, the Clemson College butter received high places at leading dairy shews In the United States. The college dairymen now claim that the butter produced Is the equal of any cream? ery butter produced in the United Stares. TRAIN WRECK IN SPAIN. Madrid. March II.

GRAND OPENING I 39 SOUTH MAIN STREET j ..OF.. | 39 SOUTH MAIN STREET | JLTFT, OIR Motto r> at n prices JSsr 5y PROTECTION T H E _ _ STRENGTH ATTERY Win IS THE & f for nit THURSDAY, MARCH 18th, 1915 The Young1 Farmer's Need of a Yearly Business Inventory. The young farmer who is endeav Oring to build up a more efficient and profitable business seldom re? tains much cash. When money is received he buys a new implement, another animal, improves a building, or makes payments on bills for things bought on credit. During the course Of the year he may receive and pay out large sums of money, leaving al? most no cash at the end of the year. The annual returns may seem to havc been only a fata- living for himself and family, whereas the farm busi? ness may have turned a good profit which was invested from month to month. Hence it is important for the fanner's guidance and encourage? ment that he make an annual inven? tory of his farm investments. Thip Inventory* should be a detailed list, with values, of everything used in the farm business, including land, build? ings, live stock, machinery and too's. produce for feed or sale, supplies, bills | receivable, and cash; also a list of fill' accounts and bills owing. The dif- | ference between the total assets and ! debts shows the net farm worth. A study of two successive inven? tories of a farm in New York State illustrates how one young farmer on 100 acres prospered regardless of the fact that he had almost no cash at the end of the year. The total assets at the beginning of the year amount? ed to 118,0*0 and tr> 813,400 at the e:.d of the same year, an Increase ol $810. Tlie Increased ?. vestment In live stock, machinery, and tools, a'hd more produce held for sale amounted to $i,07o, but tins was partiaHy off? set by the cash decrease of $783. The farm indebtedness was also reduced by $2.">3, thus making a total in- j crease in net worth to the farm business of $883. The inventory val i ues covered all depreciations and in? creases In values, so that this $5';:; was net increase in the value of tlu farm investment. It means that this sum was saved from the year's busi? ness after all farm expenses had been paid, including interest on borrow ed money and all living expenses. The amount of cash at the end of the year $13:1, proved to be no indication of the success of th< year's business. DETECTIVE IN SHOOTING SCRAPE J. W.
