Don't be discouraged, farmers,
if the valuation on your property
has been raised out of sight this
year. Horses and cattle have
never brought such prices as
within the past few weeks. AT
ter half an hour of exciting bid
ding, a Hereford COW was knock
ed down to Jesse Adams at a sale
inKansas the other day for 50, 700;
and on Tuesday evening of last
week W. G. Whitney, bought a
horse in New York for 100000.
Some of the finest sugar mills
in the world, costing $1,000
each, are found in Hawaii, and
there are planters in the islands
who produce $500 worth of sugar
and $500 worth of rice to the
acre.
A curious idea has just been
put in operation in Berlin. Ar
rangements have been made
whereby parents of the poorer
classes in the city and country
may temporarily exchange their
children, in order that the city
children may learn something of
country life and profit physical
ly by their outings, while the
country children may secure the
liberal education which town life
affords. Thus far the scheme
has worked smoothly.

Do For Sudden Illness.

Do For Sudden Illness.
In sudden Illness those who attoad
the sick are too much inclined TO iy
to stimulants, especially brandy II is
n principle of first aid 10 the injured
that when there is bleeding even when
fainting has ensued. alcohol should
never be given, for 1t causes increas-
ed heart action, with a consequent
Increased loss of blood. This is par
ticularly important to remember in
cases of bleeding from the lungs.
When a person faints. he should he
laid fat on his back, and all articles
of clothing that appear tight should be
loosened. Fresh air should be admit
ted to the room, smelling salts or harts-
horn should be applied to the nostrlls
and the face and head bathed with
cold water. If neither salts nor harts-
horn can be found, smoldering rag
will often revive the patient When
the person has regained consciousness,
If the fainting was not accompanied
by bleeding or the result of bleeding,
then n small quantity of brandy or
other alcoholic stimulant may be safe
ly administered.
Many doctors still encourage the use
Of the old fashioned mustard plasters
or the faXseed and bread and milk
poultices of our grandmothers' time.
When a mustard plaster or a hot poul-
tlce is removed, it is important to dry
the parts quickly and cover with fan
mel or cotton wool. This is to prevent
cold from exposure.
The sickroom should be a large and
CHEEKY apartment. The windows must
be arranged so that the room can be
darkened when necessary. Often the
glare of too much light in large room
is as depressing to a patient as the
stuffiness Of a small one. once a day
the patient should be well wrapped up
and the room aired no matter what
the weather may be. Rugs are better
than carpets and good mating better
than either Bent wood or wicker
furniture is preferable to that which
is upholstered.

OF INTEREST TO BREEDERS.

DR.. Neson, of Clemson college. is
sending out the following circular, that
will prove of interest to dairymen and
cattle raisers throughout this section:
The veterinarian Of the South Caro-
lima experiment station desires to call
your attention to new treatment for
milk fever, a disease which takes off
so many of the best cows of the coun-
try every year. Possibly you are ia
miliar with it, but for the benefit Of
those who may not be, the following
brief symptoms are given:
Milk-fever is more common in we'll
bred, well-fed, heavy mixers. 1t gem
orally comes on during the first two or
three days after calving and begins
with a highly nervous condition, dur
ing which the cow seems crazed and
shows convulsive symptoms. After the
period of excitement, (Which may oc-
cur during the night, she will appear
dull or unconscious and partly paralyz-
ed. She stands with the head against
the wall, paddles with the hind feet
and chews as if eating. Later she is
unable to stand, her legs give way and
she falls to the ground, but may rise
only to fall again. While down she at
first lies upon the breast with the head
turned round to the side, apparently
asleep, but as the paralysis progresses
she stretches out on the side. Convul-
sions sometimes recur at intervals and
after each fit the paralysis becomes
more marked. The temperature is at
first high, but as she becomes more
and more paralyzed it goes down be-
low normal. Constipation is marked,
milk secretion suspended and the

mouth, at first filled with ropy saliva,
later becomes dry. The upper eyelld
drops down over the sight.
A large per cent. of the COWS affected
with this disease die and those that re-
cover show marked signs OF Its raVa-
ges for months.
Some four years ago DR.. Schmidt be-
gan treating milk fever by the injec-
tion of a solution Of iodide Of potas-
sium into the udder through the teats:
The instant success of this method led
to it's adoption in many countries. 1t
has proven very successful at this COL
lege.
The remedy is quite simple and can
be used by any intelligent person,
though a special apparatus Is required
for making the injection. :,
The experiment station has on hand
a number of these outfits of special
make, designed by the writer. Any
citizen Of the state who desires to try
this remedy can secure an outfit with
a supply of medicine and full directions
by sending 81 to the veterinarian:
When you have used it and reported
the results of the treatment you can
return the outfit and the dollar VIII
be refunded to you.
People interested in the above should
give their names in full, together with
their express offices, and have their
money orders made payable to DR.. 6.

THE COTTON GROWERS.

We note from our exchanges that
meetings of the cotton growers were
held in most of the counties Of the
state last Saturday in accordance with
the recent call of President Harvie
Jordan, of the Interstate association,
and of President Wilborn, of the South
Carolina association. In most cases
organization was effected by the elec-
ton of officers and the adoption OF con-
stitution and bylaws. The following
resolutions, adopted In Lexington
county, reflected the general spirit OF
the meetings.:
Resolved, 1st. That, whereas, we,
the farmers Of Lexington county,
knowing that the great hue and cry en-
twined around our interest In cotton
circles" and especially In Wall street
cotton exchange, in regards TO tne
price Of cotton, Is claimed to be based
pnon the law of supply and demand,
and that we are always confronted
with such expressions, as, "shiftless,
indolent farmers" Yet producing an
oyerproduction of cotton and from
sore experience, we have realized the
fact that we can obtain more from
small cotton crop that large one, and
knowing that 1t places the farmer In
a better condition to increase his acre
age in corn and small grain and plant
a. greater amount of diversified crops,
that it is the sense of this assoclatlon'
that it is to our best interest, to reduce
the acreage planted In cotton by one
third and to turn our attention more 10
planting diversified crops.
Jt,1f
it Is important for us now, In order
that we may obtain fair price for our
cotton produced, that we take some
active steps towards the handling and
marketing our cotton crop for the next
season and having mutual interest,"
in the same, that we earnestly sollclt
the hearty cooperation Of all farmers,
newspapers, merchants, manufacturers
and bankers of our county and state,
and that we pledge ourselves IN union
with all the cotton states, In Cotton
Growers Protective association, and
will work for our mutual beneht at
the present time in the planting or TINS
crop and in the handling and market
ing of our cotton in the coming fall,
and that we shall demand a just pro-
portion of the profit derived from the
sales of our cotton, which Is justly due
the producer, as 1t Is the South's pro-
duct and we should reap the benefit
from it's production and sale.
Sd. That these resolutions are re-
spectively submitted to all the farm
ers Of our county, state and cotton
states and to every class Of citizens In
terested in the welfare Of the same, as
our interests are the same and should
be mutual, and we solicit hearty and
mutual cooperat ton in their execution.
4th. That this County Cotton Grow
ers' Protective association, shall meet
from time to time, at the call or the
president. to discuss and execute such
plans as we deem worthy Of our atten-
ton and what Is to our best interest.
