SOUTH CAROLINA.

Columbia Record The effect that
the establishment of cotton mills in
the state has had on farm labor has
been a subject of some study on the
part of those interested in such econ
omic questions, and the conclusion has
been generally reached that a great
many more small farmers are going out
of business now than heretofore. This
is particularly noticeable in those
counties where there are large cotton
mills in operation, but the class of
farmers referred to are drawn from
every part of the state even where
there are no mills. In Columbia this
fact has been illustrated time and time
again, but since the new year the ex-
tent of the movement has been very
large. In the Olympia mill district
alone since Jan. 1 100 families have
come from the farms to find employ
ment in the mills. There is generally
always a demand for such labor. and
Notwithstanding the influx there is
probably room for more. The number
this year, however, is considerably
by the fact that last year was a par
ticularly disastrous one for farmers.
1t was especially hard on renters, crop
pers and that class who could not
possibly make both ends meet. 1t was
simply a matter of necessity for them
to abandon the farm and seek employ
ment elsewhere and the mills furnished
them the opportunity

The state Convention.

Augusta Herald: Chairman du-
Bignon will probably call the State
Democratic Executive Committee to-
gether on March Is. There will be
many minor details that the commit
tee ought TO pass on and settle def
nitely for the good of the party.
From party standpoint, one of the
most important is the way and man
ner of selecting delegates to the state
convention. The Herald believes that
the state convention is the highest and
most authoritative court of the party,
and that it's meeting and delegates
should be of first consideration in the
party. Instead of that the selecting of
state delegates is slurred over and not
given the attention it deserves.
With innumerable state and county
candidates such as will be the case
this year, it will be almost impossible
to pursue the old plan of appointing
delegates from the friends of the sue
cessful candidates. The people ought
to vote directly for state convention
delegates just as they vote for sheriff
or clerk or member of the Legislature,
or Governor or other state house Off
GERS.
In order to keep up the interest and
character of the state convention
which is called upon to declare the
position of Georgia's democracy. the
Herald hopes the Executive Committee
will so instruct the counties that the
state convention will be given the i'm
portance it deserves. AS matters now
stand, the state convention is given
by the party managers Just about as
much attention as a consolidating re-
turn committee. In reality the Demo-
cratic state convention ought to be
the most important meeting held in
Georgia.

Curing Meats

If it is desired to pickle meat make
brine with one gallon of water. one
and a half pounds of salt. one-half
pound of sugar, one-half ounce of salt
peter and half an ounce of potash.
In this ratio the pickle may be in
creased TO any quantity desired Roll
all together, Swimming carefully until
the liquid is perfectly clear. Then pour
1t into a tub to cool, and when il Is
quite cold pour it over your beef or
pork, which will keep it perfectly sweet
for many weeks. The meat should rot
be put into the brine until at least two
days after killing, and each niece
should be entirely covered with the
liquid. When required for use take the
pieces out separately, freshen in cold
water and use. No better receipt than
the above can be given for picking
pork and hams. If these are to be
smoked they should be taken out of
the brine in about six weeks, well
dried, and then smoked. To cure ham
and pork dry put the pieces on a plat
form of boards and arrange a cIeat
winch Will convey the moisture drip
ping from them into a pail Then mix
one pound of brown sugar with everv
four pounds of salt, rub the hams. side
pieces, etc, with this daily for a week.
and afterwards every two or three DAYS
for two weeks more. Brush off the salt
thoroughly before the meat is smoked.
A good brine for corned beef is made
by adding to four gallons of water two
pounds of brown sugar, three ounces
of saltpeter, and ten pounds of salt.
Boil it till all is dissolved skimming
meanwhile. Pack the meats closely in
a barrel and when the brine is quite
cold pour it over the meat. The guam
tity given above is enough for CON
pounds of beef. If dried beef is want
ed, pieces may be taken from the
pickle after five or six weeks and
smoked 1t may be noted that in pick
ling meat, salt and sugar are all that
are really needed, though saltpeter and
potash are often added. The only use
of saltpeter is to preserve the red color
of the meats; potash is thought to
make them more tender.

Sheep Easily Raised.

THE flesh of the sheep offers greater
immunity from disease than that of
any other animal. They consume neith-
er garbage, vermin, decaying meats or
rotting vegetables. The sheep is a
dainty feeder, and Clearly as well in
all its habits. 1t cannot subsist on
filth nor long survive in it's environ
ments. These traits make them i'm
mune from most forms OF disease that
aff1lct other meat animals ar course
they are subject to some diseases, but
unlike other animals, their disposition
is so sensitive and refined that when
serious disease does lay hold of them
they give ocular evidence of their all
ment, as though on purpose to warn
persons that they are unfit to slaugh-
ter for human food as soon as attack
ed. More mutton and less pork on our
tables would be better for health and
purse. The more sheep the average
farmer keeps properly, the more he
can keep up to a certain point for
they are noted fertilizers of the soil.
AS our land becomes less and less fer
tile by the great amount of products
SOLD on the farm, the more sheen
should be grown to aid in maintaining
soil fertility and to assist in keeping
up meat supplies"

No ornamental plant has gained such
rapid popularity as the oval-leaved
privet, Ligustrum ovalifolium, COM
monty known as California privet, as
L. Californicum was formerly wrongly
assigned as the specific name, says the
Rural New Yorker. Fifteen years
ago it was but little known away from
horticultural centers, and used very
sparingly as a hedge or lawn plant
but it was found to be well adapted
for seaside planting, thriving well
right up to the salt spray, and grad
ually became popular about the coast
resorts. While it is still regarded as
of doubtful hardness north of Long
Island, it is noticed that well-fed
plants are seldom much injured even
in more severe climates, but paintings
on poor clay or thin, dry uplands are
often killed outright. The demand for
privet has grown very large lately,
and it is now quoted in quantity by
nurseries that once barely gave it
mention, and is now planted by the
thousand where only chance specimens
were previously used. A trade has
sprung up in the wood from hedge
clippings to be used for cuttings, and
they are freely shipped inland from
the older paintings. Privet has long
been grown as a money crop by small
landholders about the rural grounds,
and has returned considerable reve-
nue. for the last ten years. as prices
in the neighborhood of $50 per 1000
for good two-year-old plants were OBJ
tanned, and a fair stand" would rep
resent from $1,000 to $4,000 plants to
the acre. Like all profitable local in
dustries, however, it is now overdone,
and the price has declined nearly one
half, with a growing uncertainty as to
timely sales. The use of privet how
ever, is rapidly extending, and it is
now planted about the most humble
homes to take the place of yard fences,
now becoming obsolete. No one now
thinks of planting Usage orange, as
1t is far inferior to privet in beauty
and durability under the same condi-
tions. Privet has no thorns, and will
not turn stock as we'll as the Usage
orange when young, but when protected
with wire or other means until we'll
established it is quite effective, as do
mestic animals show little inclination
to force such a dense barrier or to
browse the foliage. The field of privet,
however, lies in its adaptability for
ornamental situations. When prop
erly clipped fine specimen plants are
soon formed and nothing in the way
of deciduous shrubs can excel it as
low wind break or shelter.

The more experience one has with
sheep the more convinced he becomes
that success depends to large extent
upon what might be called good
sheep sense" as distinguished from
horse sense so commonly used. II is
impossible to make profits out of sheep
unless one possesses or acquires this
sense. Such a little thing will some
times upset al the good work that a
man an do. Here is a neighbor who
had a fine herd of sheep which he care
fully bred and fed, and seemed to do
everything for Them but a. good deal
of his pasture land was low and wet,
and the sheep spent about half or
three-quarters of their time with wet
feet. They seemed to prefer the low,
wet lands but that was because there
was better Yegeta ton there, and not
because they liked wet feet Well,
about half the herd became sick and
after a disastrous season the owner
woke up TO the necessity of fencing OFF
his low wet lands from the sheep pas
ture.
Rape for sheep is much like clover
for the pigs or potash for peach trees.
One might just as we'll give up sheep
feeding if he will not try rape for their
food. Sheep and rape must go to-
where the owner has good sheep
sense" Yet it is not necessary to go
into many counties in almost any state
to find sheep raised without the owner
ever having once thought of sowing
rape for them. 1t is not at all strange
that so many claim there is no money
in sheep raising or farming. Consider
ing the ignorance in some quarters of
all changes and improvements that
have been going on in this country in
the past quarter of a century, it is not
at all surprising that failures are COM
mon Do men who know nothing
about modern farming ever read? Or
are they so set in their ways that they
refuse to adopt any methods except
those which their fathers taught them?
| met a farmer of this character re-
Gently. He had one of the scrubbiest
lot Of sheep that a man could find any
where. He had been raising that kind
of sheep for half a century. Did they
pay? No. there was no money in sheep
raising any more. Price of wool was
too low. 1t was running farmers and
sheep raisers. How much wool did he
raise? He wasn't sure, but probably
five pounds of wool to a head. Now is
it possible for any man to make money
from wool raising when each sheep
averages five pounds of wool? Over
against this 1 told him of two-year- old
rams of nine shearing twenty and
thirty pounds, and good fat ewes giving
a similar proportion of wool. He list
ened respectfully. but when L was
through l could see that he was i'm
pressed, but unbelieving. That man
had no sheep sense" and all we can
expect of such a case is that his chill
dren may wake up and study modern
conditions and read of what is going on
in their particular industry.
