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.
The cottonseed houses on the At?
lantic Coast Line Kailroad company's
right of way were badly damaged and
so terrific was the wind that several
box care were blown several hundred

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.

AGED WAR VETERAN DEAD,
Dr. Hugh H. 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.
