Preventing Mottled Butt, r Mottled butter is frequently found ea the market at this time of the year, and, eves though it may be of vary good flavor. It Is strongly dis? criminated against by the purchaser. Jkm this defect Is one of workmanship, It eaa he overcome by the applica? tion of proper methods on the part of the buttermaker. are caused primarily by an distribution of salt tr the but? ter. This may be produced by InsuAV working of the butter or by luraing. washing, and working it at a very low temperature, or by wash? ing or working It at a temperature several degrees higher or lower toan the churning temperature. When tho quantity of butter made in one churning Is much lees than usual. It la necessary to werk it a greater number of revolutions of the eh era than usual la order to produce the same results on the butter. Bxtremely low temperatures of ehttraing. washing and working should be avoided because they produce eo Arm a butter that It la only with great difficulty that the salt cart be worked uniformly Into it. High tem? peratures of churning, washing, and working must also be avoided to pre veat an abnormal lose of fat in the buttermilk and also the rm king of greasy, leaky butter. Oreat variations In temperature during the manufacturing pre cess should always be avoided. Under normal conditions the temperature of the wash water should be the same s?. or within 2 degrees of. that of the bettermilk. When ttu churn room Is so cold that the butter becomes chilled be? fore working is completed, mottled butter la frequently the result. To prevent this It Is preferable to In? crease the amount of working rath? er than to raise the temperature of the wash water. Mottled butter, then, may be pre? vented by using methods that will In? sure a uniform distribution of salt. Rev. J. C. Clarke Caught. Rev. J. C.

CHOP SUCCESSION FOR SWINE. Use of Pasta re Crops Will Enable Snath to Produce Pork More Cheap? ly Thon Corn Belt. Clemson College, Feb. 10.?Experi? ments in hog feeding have shown clearly that pork costs only one third to one-half as much when pas? tures are assjd as when concentrated feeds alone are used, and that by means of pasture crops pork crm be made more cheaply in the South than It is possible to make it in the corn belt. The importance of green feed le thus easy to see. This is the soa sor for South Carolina farmers to pla. succession of hog grazing crops. Plant one ahead of time and there will be no need to hesitate at any season. The Animal Husbandry Division of Clemson College will answer any Question on this subject that farmers ask. Foil*, wing is a table of summer and fall growing hog crops. The crop la given first, the time to plant second, quantity of seed per acre; third, and number of days from planting to grazing time fourth.

I - I Mnofcbfte* Make Money When In Use ' and Oast Money When Idle. Clemson College, Feb. 10.?Afuny facts which will be interesting to douth Qarollna farmers were deter? mined by the federal department of agriculture in a recent study of farm machinery costs. Among the more striking facts are the follow? ing: "Machines make money for you when they are in use; they cost you money when they stand idle. "A machine makes the greatest possible profit for its owner when it is used continuously In profitable work till It Is worn out. Then it is really worn out?It does not rot or rust out 'The average farm implement Is only about half worn out ~?y use alone. The rost of the wear is due to rust and decay. "Acres count in the life of a machine?not rears." It was found that the cost per acre covered Is the real measure of the value of l.he service given by an Implement and that, on the average, the more acreti covered per year, the more profit to ' he owner. HEWITT SUFFERS BIG LOSS. Four Fine Mules Jost Bought, Die WitU Pneumonia. Florence Times. Charles Hewitt, six miles southeast of Florence, lost four fine mules on Monday from pneumonia. He had Just bought the mules In Atlanta, brought them to Tlmmonsvllle and unloaded them. One of the animals died Immediately after taking them from the car and the other three died after he got them to his barns. Mr. Hewitt bought five miles, pay? ing $200 a head for them, and with? in a week after his purchase four of them, or $800 worth of mule flesh, were off the map. This was a heavy blow to Mr. Hewitt, but he says that he will make a crop with those that he had on hand and the one left out of his drove of five. If the Texas farmers heed the ad? vice of their State Department of Ag? riculture, farm demonstration agents and cotton exporters to reduce the cotton acreare and make an effort to raise other crops so as to be inde? pendent of cotton, which the best informed men in the cotton trade ex? pect to be low In price, the cotton market this fall may not be demoral? ized. Tile size or tho crop and the price depends upon Texas. The crop of the South Atlantic .States is sure to be small. The scarcity and high price of commercial fertilizers bnq set a limit on the crop In this seotton. MANY HOGS VACCINATED. Demonstration Agents Injected Serum into 7,323 Porkers, Valued at $52, 000. Clemson College, Feb. 10.?Hogs to the number of more than seven thousand were protected from hog cholera by the county demonstra? tion agents of this State during 1915, according to the annual reports submitted by them to the State agent at Clemson college. The hogs vaccinated against cholera by the agents were 7,323, as against 3,693 tho year before. They were valued at $52,158, as against $34,675 for 1914. The county agents did this work in co-operation with the Veterinary Division of Clemson College, which manufactures serum and sells it to farmers at cost. The county dem? onstration agent will vaccinate hogs for any one in his county and he should be notified as soon as any of a man's hogs, or his neighbor's, show signs of cholera. The Charity League. A meeting of the Charity League was held on Thursday afternoon. The president and members of various committees reported interesting and helpful work already acomplished, the most gratifying being the sending to school of several children who had been unable to go for lack of proper clothing. As this was the first regular meet? ing of the league many matters had to be decided. The main busi? ness of the meeting was the dis? cussion of the best means of relieving the needy, securing employment for them, enabling them to become self supporting, and when possible, to send the children to school. The indiscriminate giving of as? sistance to applicants who apply at the stores, aa well as residences was brought to the special attention of the league. Many of these cases, are simply habitual beggars, who make a practice of going to certain places until refused, and then applying at the next home, systematicallyt going from place to place. The league- is willing and anxious to Investigate and help these cases where worthy, and suggests that, all of these <canes be referred to the Charity IfCjikue. When these house to house ftfepd-l cants realise, as they soon wittp that they can get assistance only thi ^gh the league, It will end the annoyance of having them beg at most inoppor? tune timps, arm at the sflme t!m^ will prevent Ihe ]??>s:-ible refusing ?f utd to a really needy family. It is hoped that the public w|Jl co? operate with the -league inf this worthy aim, to have all cs>o* oi j referred to them. The league aims not only to relieve imme > .*?. di: - tress, but to cany their work further | by securing employment rfor able- J bodied members of the famii>, en abllng them to provide for their fam illes, and not becomo a public charge. Tho league will arrange to have Employment Bureau, and Is already In ? a position to recommend women who can do plain sewing, and men w ho plough and do odd jobs. Any one needing work done can secure fii thei information by applying to Mrs. 11. Stuckey or Mrs. Irving Rytt not rg chairman of the Employi:tcnl Bu reau. Mass Meeting for Law and Order.
