The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1895-07-10

The Silo.
The silo is especially desirable for
.he south. We can make more green
corn or sorghum per acre than any
northern state. because the plants
grow much larger, and we have lana
so rich that sorghum may be grown
almost as thick as the hair on dog.
On account of our long. hot and usual
ly dry summers. the stalks and blades
soon dry up after the seed natures,
and then it becomes comparatively
worthless as fodder. These crops,
and many others, can be cut
clean from the ground and made
into silage and kept indefinitely. with
its digestibility increased. and its nu-
tritive constituents nearly as good as
when cut. The oilage system will
utilize large amount Of food now
wasted. except for its value to the soil,
which is but little. We must give up
our wasteful practices on the farm.
With the best possible economy-noth.
ing wasted that can be put to a good
use-we have hard time climbing the
slippery hill of prosperity. Our Gus
tom has been to plant, cultivate and
harvest our corn crops, simply taking
the ears, and if weather and inclina-
tion suits, a few blades. and letting
more than half the crop dry up. and
blow away. Silos will save the entire
croB.-Farn and Ranch.

The regular monthly meeting of the

loan of 81 500 was made. Since the last
meeting thirtysiX shares of the current
series, which began last January, have
been taken out, making $50 in all of this
series. The total loans to date are 81 $50.
The association is rapidly regaining its
oldtime vigor, and bids fair to serve a
most useful purpose in this community.

Tenth Anniversary of the Woman's
Relief Corps of Ellsworth.

An interesting anniversary took place
at Grand Army hall in this city last Mon
day evening. The occasion was the ceIe-
bration of the tenth birthday of the w.
II. H. Rice Woman's relief corps, No. Is.
There was large gathering of friends,
husbands, brothers and children of the
members of this important auxiliary to
the Grand Army of the Repu bile
The evening was spent in social inter
course, singing and games of various
sorts. About 10 o'clock refreshments
were served. The members of the corps
were untiring in their efforts to make
the occasion an enjoyable one, and the
unanimous opinion was that those efforts
were crowned with success.
1t was on the afternoon of May 5, 1885,
that this Woman's relief corps was
organized, the formal institution being
performed by Mrs. Isabella Foster of
Bangor, assisted by Mrs. Hattie Seavey,
also OF Bangor, acting department con-
ductor, and Mrs. Collins, guard

Mrs. Emily McGown was elected the

An interesting feature of this first
meeting was the election as an honorary
member of the corps DR.. H. c. Vaughan,
at that time the editor of THE AMERI
CAN. The genial doctor was then, as
ever, very popular among the ladies', 1t
! was impossible to elect him in strict ac-
cOrdanee with the rules of the order and
he was, so it appears from the records,
initiated as Sister" IIuIda c. Naugh han.
In the evening of this day the newly
elected officers were publicly installed,

a casual inspection of the records dur

alive to the beneficent work in which it
is engaged as it ever was.

FRIDAYS FIRES.
The Old Black House on High Street
Destroyed.

tJtStfOytu
There We're two fires in Ellsworth last
Friday-one early in the morning, one late
at night. The morning fire destroyed the
ell of George Reeds house on Water
street, the late fire destroyed the Black
farm house on High street, near Cards
brook.
The fire at George Reeds house occurred
at 7:30 in the morning. It caught in the
ell, and it is supposed originated from
sparks from burning brush pile. The
firemen We're on hand quickly and pre-
vented the destruction of the entire house
The less is estimated at about $500. There
was no insurance.
AT midnight the firemen were called to
the Black farm. The large square build
ing, in its day one of the proudest man
sions in the city, was in flames, and
beyond saving when the tiremen arrived.
The building was unoccupied and the
flames swept through the empty rooms
tiercely and in very brief time the
building was in ruins, the three large,
old fashioned chimneys alone remaining
standing.
The building was owned by Harry S.
Jones, and he was about to make consid-
erable repairs about it. 1t was insured
for $500 through Grant q Cushman.
There seems no way to account for the
origin of the fire except as incendiary.

FARM AND GARDEN.
SUBSOIL FLOWING.
Tho Pros and Cons of the Practice State
without Prejudice.

The Pros and Cons of the Practice Stated
without Prejudice.
There is evidence of renewed interest
In the subsoiling question. 1t may be
that it needs careful consideration.
The evidence seems conclusive THAI
subsoil blowing on the fertile prairie
soils of such states as Illinois and
Iowa, for in. lance, is not generally
profitable. Occasional reports, well
attested, have shown paying results,
but these have been the exception
rather than the rule, says the Prairie
Farmer On the other hand, the per-
centage of cases of considerable inn
provement in crops from subsoil1ng in
Kansas and Nebraska seem pretty
large. Obviously the deeper the soil
is stirred, if it is naturally sufficiently
porous, the larger will be the supply
of available plant food ard the larger
will be the reservoir for collecting and
storing water which enters the ground
after rains. Much of the prairie soil
of Illinois is sufficiently porous to a
considerable depth to readily permit
water to enter. and is SO admirably
fitted to retain the wafer, as also to
draw it towards the surface by capil-
larry attraction. In such conditions
there is no sufficient reason for sub
soiling for ordinary cropping. How
far the conditions are different in the
regions from which reports are sent OF
marked benefit from subsoil blowing
has not always clearly appeared. There
/ is some confusion in the minds of some
farmers as to the meaning of the term
subsoil blowing. Properly used it
does not mean simply deep blowing,
however great depth may be reached,
but rather loosening the soil in the
bottom of the furrow made by the sur
face or common blowing, without
raising this loosened earth to the sur
face. Where there is double blowing
the second furrow slice being brought
to the surface, this is not subsoiling
In many cases it is Objectionable tt
turn up the soil to very considera bic
depth, thus exposing much of the sub
soil to the surface. Rarely does any
injurious effects follow subsoiline
proper, except on fiat lands with {
very compact subsoil nearly imperviou
to water In such cases subsoiline
may simply make a deeper bed tt
hold moisture which is not needed
and can only be gotten rid of by evap
grafton.
