Hens should not have fsttenipp
food during the summer months.
Grass, insects, oats, etc, will be the
best hot weather diet. Make the
hens lay the grea'est p~r.i"n of their

is better for them if they do not Law
any during July, August and Sep

Hens are usually very choice in
th-ir selections of nests, and unless
We provide those that are acceptable
to them they will most likely seek
others. Now is a good time to re.
now every one. Take the old straw
outside and burn it, and carefully
make each nest with fresh straw or
hay.
1t is not too much to say that ev-
cry bit Of honest material progress
that the world has made has been
helpful to the farmer. One effect Of
most, If not all, the great forward
steps made most notably in the latest
quarter of century has been to
bring producer and consumer closer
together, and everywhere the farming
class has been particularly benefited
by this.
Ono who is regarded as a compre-
hensive student of every essential
matter pertaining to sheep says that
''in Spain, whenever sheep are kept
in the neighborhood of rock salt hills
or sea salt, they thrive better than
they do under other conditions. Salt
in the case of the sheep makes for
both better wool and mutton. When
an>allowance Of salt is given to sheep
at pasture, from half an ounce to an
ounce should be provided daily for
each sheep"

Dead In Cotton Seed Pile.

Kingstree, Special-There has reach
ed here somewhat Of a sensation Great
ed at G~reeleyville, a small town 10 or
II miles from here, by the discovery OF
a dead negro buried in cotton seed in
the house on the farm Of the Mallard
Lumber Company. The dead negro,
Luther Mcknight, an employe OF the
above company, was last seen Sunday
afternoon. An examination Of the body
disclosed the fact that the skull had
been battered in, the eyes mutilated,
the neck broken, and the face badly
disfgured by the heat OF the cotton
seed. The body was discovered by a
wagon driver who had gone to the
building to unload seed, and the facts
were thus disclosed. Acting Coroner
Windham empaneled a jury and held
an inquest. A post mortem examina-
ton held by DR.. A. D. Epps showed
that death resulted from the wounds
described above. The jury rendered
a verdict in keeping with the testt-
mony, the p~erpetrator Of the crime be-
ing unknown to the jury. The negro
Mcknight, was a quiet, peaceful work.
man, and the affair appears to be en-
tirely shrouded in mystery, no cause
being known for the murder.

A Bad Mix.

At the last session of the general as
sembly a new pension act was passed,
as was an act providing for county
pension commissioners. An examina-
ton Of these acts in the comptroller's
office preparatory to getting out circu-
lars of information developed the fact
that a general mixture has occurred
which it will probably take amenda-
tory acts to cure before the pension
machinery can get in shape for work
this year. The pension act requires all
county pension boards to meet on the
third Monday in January OF each year.
The pension commissioner act requires
that the county pension board at It's
first meeting in January shall elect one
of its members to be county pension
commissioner and that he shall be at
the auditors office to make out ana
properly arrange the applications every
Saturday during the month OF Janu-
airy. Three other meetings Of the pen
sion boards are provided for. 1t can be
easily seen wherein is the tangle.
Another feature is if all the meetings
are held and the commissioners In
each county are to be paid as required
quite a snug amount will be taken
from the pension fund. 1t is probable
that an act curing the defects in the
existing acts will be introduced on the
first day Of the coming session and
rushed through.
