In And About j Soutb Carolina Sfc ' ! Although a Please convention has been called to meet in Columbia October 18th, it. is not believed that Cole I will bolt the Democratic party as has been intimated in some quarters. Mr. Ja nes L. Tnpp, a live Columbia merchant, is growing turnips in the street. That's better than letting grass grow there. The next annual meeting of the k Southern Labor Congress will be held in Charleston. Columbia refused to recall the commission form of government by a vote .of 1099 to 258. The Hartwell Sun says the reason Hart county doesn't cor.ie across v.ii'n her share of the money to build tho Savannah river bridge is "We haven't got the money." The State v/ants to attach Charleston to Columbia by a "fine highway." Thut would be fine. The mill authorities of York are preparing to build 50 cottages in the Cannon Mill village, near York. The houses will cost about $1,000 each. The buildings are to be especially convenient and comfortable. Rural Policeman 10. J. Alsobrook, of McColl, was shot and killed by a strange negro he was trying to arrest. The negro was later caught, and putting up a fight, his captors shot him. He died a few hours later. The Lexington County Fair will be hold October 17, 18 and 11). It is in-! , tended to have the finest fair ever held in that County. FEEDING DAIRY COWS j Y FOR MILK AND PROFIT, ? I Cow Should Be Fed Sufficient Balanced Ration to Produce ] ftiaximum Amount of Milk I Cleniaon College. S. C. 1 Liberal feeding of dairy cows is nee- | Qsw.ry for prolitable production. Cowa feed for two purposes; body mainte.i.vue and milk production. A great many farmers in South Carolina keep cows which are fed only sufficient feed to enable them to perform their own func'.Ions, such as heating the body, pumping the blood, digesting the feed and moving about. Cows fed oul> such "maintenance rations" are necessarily money losers or 'boarders." The cow can produce milk without loss of body weight only after she has been fed a sufficient amount to maintain her body functions, and a surplus from which to manufacture the milk The maintenance ration is a fired charge, and the more feed a cow can consume above that required for mhintenance, the greater the amount of feed available for milk production. Prom the standpoint of economical production, 0110 can afford to give a cow all the feed she will consume without gaining In weight, and no more. A good cow will generally lose in weight In the early part of the lactation period and gain in the latter part. Such cows snnuld be fed liberally with the assurance that they will pay for the extra feed during the next lactation period. The most common mistake made In this state is that of not feeding tho cows in summer when on pasture. Even with the very best pasture a cow cannot give her maximum productlon on pasture alone. Tows giving 20 . "VV pounds or more of milk should have at least 3 pounds of grain feed even when j on the best pastures. When pasture la poor and flies are bad the cows will* return a profit on more grain feed then: the above, and should receive It. Th?! best dairymen In the state are beginning to realize the value of summer eilage. and are building silos of small diameter for summer feeding. When ttoe grass is short and flies worry the 1 cows so that they cannot feed as they should on grass, a alio for Hummer! feeding Is good Insurance. If It is found unnecessary to use the silo dur-| * lng the summer, it can he sealed up and the silage fed '.he following winter. The best roughage feeds to he fed i . ' with silage in this state aro alfalfa, crimson clover, vetch, cowpea hay and soy bean hay. All of the above feeds are legumes, and contain a high pericentage of protein, a very necessary element in milk production. Cotonseed meal, peanut meal, wheat bran and corn meal are the most common grain feeds used In the South. Of these, the valve of wheat bran used with cottonseed meal is probably the least appreciated. This is a bulky feed, has a laxative effect (the opposite of the cotton seed meal), and contains lime, potash and phosphorous which go to build up the cow's body. None of the above grain feeds should be fad alone. They should be mixed in order to get a balanced ratioo. Cows should receive 1 pound of the grain mtxturti to 3 pounds of milk produced dally, or approximately 3 pounds of grain feed to a gallon of milk. This, with all tha good roughage they will consume will give a cow sufficient feed nutrients for maximum economic production.

C!ems?n College, Sept 23.?There is considerable speculation as to the advance i,f the boll weevil toward South'Car ">lina. Prof. A. F.

GROW GOOD STRAWBERRIES Portion of Every Home Garden 8hould Be Devoted to Strawberries to Supply Fresh Fruit for Table. Clemaon College, 9. C. A portion of every home garden shou'd be devoted to straw heries. They a:e raij* to grow, do well on practically eve; / U*"d < f soil, and a very suiall riv". Is su:r: < :.i to supply the family. I'.y plant?:ig varieties that ripen it aarct ; ion, fresh fruit may be had from early spring until late in the summer. In the curly fall, until the li .il of November, is the beat time tc r.al the plants. Delighting In cool weather, if set at this time they will become well established by spring, and will be able to resist droughts which often o< cur at this season. In selecting plants for the new bed. only the strongest of the present year's runners should be used. The roots of new plants are always white, which distinguishes them from oldei plants whose roots are always black Previous to planting, remove a por Hon of the leaf surface to lessen evap oration, and shear the roots to about one-half if they are very long. A com nion mistake in planting is to scoot out a shallow hole and thrust the plant into it. leaving the roots i crumpled mass with their tips ne&i the surface where they quickly dr 'I' *. To avoid this .n.&ke a deep hoi* with a spade or long pointed trowel, in serf the roots and spread them out far ?'to\ving t'i?m to hang down full length. In this way. every part n" ike rt 1 system will be in direct contact with the soil and kept con arf'v moist. Place the crown. 01 bud. Just at the surface. If It is below 'he level of the ground, after the soil settles it 's smothered; if much above, .he roots will dry out. Of the various methods of training strawberry runners, the hill system is without, doubt the most satisfactory for he home grower. The plants are placed 14 to IS inches apart in the row. and all runners kept removed, except a few trained with the row to produce new plants. Not quite so man> Series will be produced as with some of the matted row systems, hut they will ho much larger and of superior quality. It is well during the first season to pinch ofT all the fruiting stems as they appear in order that the entire strength of the plant may be dl rect"d to the development of the crown and leaves. By the end of the season, the plants should have thick broad crowns, each holding the rud! ments of several stalks of berries and containing plaint food in sufficient quantity to produce a maximum crop the second season. A strawberry bed may bear from three to five crops if given careful attention, but it is hotter to allow the plants to fruit only twice. As the bod gets older, the plants become weakened and often diseased. For the verv highest grade berries, the plants should be allowed to fruit only once and a new bed set annually. If jncu had a farm ho poor, and so sandy, and so run down that It wouldn't produce a hundred pounds of cotton to the acre, what would you do with It? Plant cover crops. Write the Extension Division of Heninon College for bulletJn No. 18, Forage Crops for Routh Caroline." It contains much valuable information.

Doan's Kidney Pills have made iheir reputation by effective action. The following case is typical: Chesterfield residents should be convinced. The testimony is confirmed?the proof complete. Testimony like this cannot be ignored. J. i\'. Stricklin, editor of Chronicle, Jreen St., Cheraw, S. C., says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney trouble and a lame and aching back and they have given me the best of relief. 1 have found them to be just as represented and I consider them a fine kidney medicine." (Statement given in Dec. 1910.) On December, 10, 1914, Mr. Stricklin said: "1 still use Doan's Kidney Pills whenever I need a kidney medicine and they a I way 3 benefit me."
