Works in the Air.

rine life preservers which Aeronaut

to descend in Lake WinnebagO and
strapped on the life preserverS.
AS the balloon was released from its

l want to ask the readers of HOard's
Dairyman, says a correspondent, how
they exercise their bulls. We fire.
quently hear Of some one who has
been hurt by bull. and it seems to
me it is because they are not handled
right and do rot have the necessary
exercise.
Just think of the way many bull is
kept-often in cold, dark stable that
is not fit to store tools in. where he
chafes because confined. Under such
conditions it seems to me his muscles
must become weakened, his blood i'm
poverished and his vitality depleted.
Many man would rather be hanged
than confined in prison for life, though
necessary warmth and light. 1 have
now in mind man who recently was
hanged in an adjoining state. though
he was promised Imprisonment for life
instead if he would confess, but he
said, II would rather die"
Think Of the long weary hours bull
must put in in solitary confinement,
and then we wonder why he gets
cross and why bad habits are con-
tracted which may make him nearly
it not quite useless.
Some time ago the prisoners in New
York state were not allowed to work,
and it was soon noticed by the officials
that they were not in quite as good
health and that they became morose
and surly. May it not be the same with
bull? What other animal is SO much
abused? Not tie stallion. He has the
best of care and regular exercise. Not
the ram. He has a separate Enclosure
and can run and enjoy himself. But
the bull-well, he must be confined in
his stall.

The Cow ON the Farm.

Cattle kept for meat and milk pro-
duction or for milk and meat produc.
ton, as the case may be. in the judg-
ment of the writer, always will be the
class of cattle that will predominant
on the average farm. Especially will
this be true of farms rich in produc-
ton, and more particularly will it be
true Of those large enough to maintain
from ten COWS upward, or even a less
number, SO that a cream separator can
be kept on the farm. There are several
reasons why it should be SO. the chief
Of which are the following:
Good milk production and good beef
production are not incompatible in one
animal.
Growing animals for milk and meat
will insure the more profitable con-
sumption Of all the varied food prod
ucts grown upon the farm.
Maintaining such COWS and milking
them by hand will be more profitable
only where the calves suckle the dams,
relatively, than growing beef cattle only
where the calves suckle the dams.
Such a system of COW keeping is a
necessity to keep in equilibrium the
production and market values of dairy
products.-Professor Thomas Shaw.

after weighing thirty sacks, they
refused to take same on account OF
short weights and notified the COM
pany at once of the fact and in
twenty-four hours the company had
an agent in the car weighing 1t.
After weighing ten sacks he said they
had a just cause for not taking it
and to weigh every sack and report
to the company and they would ad-
lust the claim. Now, brother farmer,
do as the members of Sinclair ALI
ance has done and weigh your fer

Pay for what you get and always see
that you get what you pay for and
strive to raise more hog and hominy

Charleston Exposition.


South Carolina Day at the Exposi-
tion, is on Thursday, March Goth. The
following are some of the reasons
why the people of the State should
visit the Exposition on that day:
First.
It is South Carolina Exposition
in which the State and the people
are vitality interested, as it presents
to the people Of the country at large
for the first time the great possibili-
ties of South Carolina, both as o
manufacturing and agricultural
State.
Second
The State has a building at the
Exposition, in which are exhibited
the Industries and Resources OF
South Carolina. Many Of the people
do not realize the magnitude Of the
possibilities that aro within our bor-
ders. Go then and see them and you
will profit by the trip in many ways
Third
In the Cotton Palace, Commerce,
Minerals and Forestry, Machinery
and Electricity, and West Indian
Buildings will be seen many exhibits
that will justify the trip.
Fourth
To those who have never seen the
Exhibits Of the United States Govern
ment seeing them alone is worth
more than the cost of the trip.
Fifth
The Exhibits in the Woman's
Building will be of interest to every
woman in South Carolina, the display
is far superior to the woman's work
at any other Exposition.
SIXTH
When you have seen all the Exhib-
it's of interest, the Midway offers it's
attractions, where you can spend as
much time in pleasure as you desire.
SEVENTH
The people of Charleston desires
you to see the Exposition, to see from
your own observation that they pro-
jacted the Exposition in your inter
est, as we'll as theirs, and that we
should be again united as one people.
Eighth
The railroad rates are very low,
and accommodations for all can be
secured in Charleston at reasonable
rates. Those wishing to engage
rooms and board in advance will be
accommodated by corresponding with

PROF. W. J. s9ILLMAN
To Lecture at Lexington March 10, on
Grasses and Forage Crops.

To Lecture at Lexington marcn 10, UT
Grasses and Forage Crops.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I desire space in your paper to call
attention to matter of great impor-
tance to the farmers of your commu-
nifty.
Professor W. J. Spillman, OF the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment. will address the farmers OF tie
county in the court house on the 18th
day of March, in accordance with
arrangements heretofore made. He
wishes to meet the progressive farm
ers of the county-those who are
willing to cooperate with the
government in conducting certain ex-
periments with grasses and forage
plants. The end and aim of the visit
is to find perennial suitable to our
climate. We now have valuable for
age crops but they require too much
planting.
In addition to delivering lecture
on grasses and forage crops, he will
give out 8 number of seeds of all
kind, adaptable to Southern soils and
climate, to those who will give them
careful test and report the result OF
the experiment. To these he will
| give thorough instructions as toplant-
ing, cultivating and harvesting, furn-
ishing them with very valuable lit
erature, the work of able experts.
Professor Spillman is very able
and earnest gentleman, and l am
sure his visit to the county will be of
immense value to the farmers. The
government is ready to help US if we
show our willingness to be helped by
the support and interest shown by US
in these meetings called for our es
pecial benefit. The government has
gone to the expense of getting a
large quantity of grass seed, velvet
beans, Florida beggar weeds, alfalfa
and choice varieties of peas, also a
large number of valuable bulletins for
distribution at these meetings. It
has also sent it's most efficient expert
along these lines to address our peo-
ple; and I do most sincerely trust that
they will evidence their appreciation
and interest by giving large attend
ance.
Every progressive farmer in the
county, who has learned the sad and
disastrous lesson of one cropism, or
who is at all interested in diversified
farming, should lend his active sup
port to Prof. Spillman. It is great
opportunity for the farmer, this being
the first attempt in this direction ever
made in this State. A day spent in
attendance upon this occasion will be
pro6tably used. The department
stands willing to aid us if we will
meet it on half way ground. From
reports received from different repre-
sentives men of your county, I antic-
ipate large attendance will meet
Professor Spillman, ready to join him
in the work of finding new forage
crops and improving old ones.
Very respectfully, A. F. Lever.
