Furnish Good Substitut?* fur MJugc as Sue ealent -'ceil for l ows Clemson College, May 6.?Farm? ers who nave not enough cows to warrant them In building silos are advised by Clemson College to grow msngels. stock beets and turnips to supply succulent feed for winter. These crops may )>e banked like sweet potatoes snd kept throughout ths winter without spoiling. They srs good substitutes for silage where nllage is not available. It must be understood, however. that silage Is the most economical and best succu? lent winter feed and is recommended strongly to all farmers with ten or more < ows. With the planting of turnips, all are more or less familiar. Many f I rners. however, will be glad to re ce \e directions for plantin?? man? gels, with which they have not had much experience. ' In a bulletin i soon to be published, F. O. Tarbox. Jr., of the agronomy division of Clemson College, gives directions for growing mangeln, together with a number of other crops especially planned for the farmers with a few cows He writes of mangels as fol? lows: The mangel Is planted and culti? vated In the same manner as the beet, except that it requires a more deeply prepared soil. Its chief ad vantage wilt be that of furnish' | suendent feed durlns the fall months, In which time there is usual*;, vary mue it Mi grticu fed available. Mangels should not be planted on po??r land. n<>r on land that has not ben plowed deep and well harrow? ed until a fine seed bed Is obtained. It Is a crop which Is not easily hurt by too much manuro and fertiliser If it Is - ell mixed with th> soil The richer the land, the better It will be for mangels. About eight tons per acre can hi obtslned from land of fair fertility. About nine hundred pounds will be required per month for each cow. Enough should ??,. pjPSjWg to feed the cows for three month* and It Is be? lieved that one-fifth of an acre per cow will be about the proper scre? ens to plant. If there should be more mangels than the cattle can dispose of they can be fed to hogs and dry cattle. Planting should be done In early spring. However. It will he safe to plant them until June I. although fsrmeis are strongly advised to get them In as mueh e.irlier than this as possible. Sow the need In two-foot rows ami thin to one plaid every twelve Inches. Cue live pounds of seed por acre. lied Globe. Tankard. Golden Yellow and Matnmouth are good varieties to plant for Holling. The seed are slow in comim: up and care should be taken In cultivating. A few radish or turnip seed can be sown slong with the mangels to mark Ihn row ho that they will not l?? trampled on before they come up. Hcforc frost the mangels should be either gathered and banked like sw**et potatoes or should have some soil thrown around them to keep 'l ? iii from freezing in winter. If the land Is not needed for another crop they can l?e left In the held, provided they are covered up to the leaves with soil. If they are to be pulled and bunked, all but two or three Inches of the tops should la cut off. Farmer* desiring; Information shout a succession of crops to plant to give them succulent feed for their Cows throughout the ye.tr should write to the extension division Clem son College.

Blloree, May 7.?A fearful cyclone swept over Elloree this afternoon, ranging from a quarter of a mile to a half mile in breadth and several miles in length, unrooting giant trees and demolishing a number of build? ings In its path. Mrs. J. 1?. Strock, who was pass? ing the Methodist church, which was completely demolished, is the only ono reported to have received any injuries. Mrs. Strock, who stopped in the porch of the church, was struck by a piece of the falling building. Her injuries are mild to be slight. No casualties from the country so far have been reported, but it was learned late this afternoon that a number of farm buildings have been reduced to debris. The cyclone appears to have start? ed several mill's south of Ellnrce, sweeping over the main business sec? tion of town in a northeastern di? rection toward the Santee river, and It is roughly cstimatel that damage amounting to at least $8,000 has been sustained. The Methodist church was reduced to a mass of debris. Ono of the three warehouses of the Klloree Warehouse company containing about 200 bales of cotton was completely wrecked, while the roofing of the adjoining building was badly damaged. The entire roof of the mercantile stores of the Stack company and P. S. Jones were uprooted. The old Snyder store room owned by Dr. P. L. Felder was badly damaged and the small negro church and lodge building was leveled to the ground. Barn and stables of , W. F. Jones and of F. A. Fair were completely wrecked. The front of the store room of P. E. Ilaltl-y & Son was badly damaged.

A heavy rainfall followed the storm. WOII) AM) HA IN. Columbia, May 8.?With a general rainfall all over the State on yes? terday it is probable that there will l?e a considerable rise In the Catawba and upper Bread rivers beginning today. Varying more o less with the altitude above sea level Columbia with other sections of South Carolina was Ttsatod by a wind ami rain storm. The wind attained a vc ha ity about 2.30 o'clock in the after? noon of 30 miles an hour. The rain? fall in Columbia was 1.13 inches dur? ing the entire day. The storm belt moved northeast from the lower part of Alabama along the Appalachian range, thus causin, I heavier rainfall In the upper part of the State than along the coast. Crom Spartanburg north the preeipi t ktlon aas from ono and one-half to two and one-half inches; in the Pled" mont section the fall varied between one and two Inches, while Charleston had only about four-ilfths of an inch and the haver Savannah river valley II I ery light fall. It is thought, how < ver, that with the land under culti? vation snd recently ploughed only a small amount of the rain will be drallied off. STOItM IN CALHOCN.

Hut lodge of Greenville Passes A way. Greenville, May 6.?Dr. Hugh R. Rutledge, aged 9 2 years, a veteran of the Mexican war and a descendant of some of tht most famous men South Carolina has ever produced, died here this morning shortly boforo 5 o'clock. Dr. Rutledge had i >een Ul two days with pneumonia. He was a grandson of John Rutledge, once governor of South Carolina, a member of the Con tinental congress*, and In 1795 ap? pointed by President Washington a?> chief justice of the supreme court of the United States. At the time of this appointment John Rutledge was chief justice for South Carolina. Edward Rutledge, a member of the same family, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Another distinguished member of the family was Oliver Rutledge 2nd of South Car? olina, the father of the Dr. Rutledge who died here today. Dr. Rutledge was an assistant sur? geon in the Mexican war. lie did not serve in the War Between the Sec? tions living in North Carolina during this struggle and giving medical at? tention to his community. * Dr. Rutledge was a man of com? manding appearance. He stood G feet 4 or 5 inches and was ere >t until the last, and his white beard, immaculate dress, dignity of manner and general bearing made of him a figure which would tend ho make men look the second time \rhen he passed. Until the attack of pneumonia, Dr. Rutledge was hale and hearty. He was a delightful conversationalist, al? though but few persons were fortu? nate enough to enjoy his contldence. He seldom if ever talked of his war record, was reticent concerning his age and was extremely averse to any publicity. His distinguished lineage was not a matter of spoken pride to him. Three daughters and two sons sur? vive. His daughters are all unmar? ried. His sons aro Elias B. Rutledge of Virginia and J. R. Rutledge of Greenville. Dr. Rutledge was born in Charleston in 1823.
