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.

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.

?WHAT IMPLEMENTS COST.
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
