DR.. TAFT Butler, Veterinarian of
the North Carolina Board of Agri-
culture, attended the South Carolina
State Farmers Institute held at
Clemson College two or three weeks
ago, and delivered an able address
on the live stock industry. The
Greenville Cotton Plant gives the
following report of it:
He first spoke of the necessity of
the live stock industry in the South.
He compared favorably the land of
the South with lands in the North
and West. He said that no farming
operations or system is ever entire
~ successful permanently unless the
main idea was to raise food products
and feed to stock. He drew atten-
tion-to the fact that Southern cattle
are as healthy as cattle anywhere
and disease is of little consideration.

Securing Pea Vine Hay''-Inquiries An
sWered.

0"S4NN
correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
My article on curing peavine hay
has brought such a large number of
inquiries that I shall have to answer
them in a general way.
First, as to time of moving the
vines: We usually NOW after the
vine natures well and some peas are
dry. The vines are then easier to
cure than if cut while younger and
sappier. If cut earlier, say just as
the peas begin to form good, I should
stack them as fast as cut, as l do
the mature vines. But in addition
to the two strips of wood nailed
cross-shape to the pole a foot above
the ground to keep the vines from
being harmed by too close contact
with the earth, 1 should nail two
more Also cross-shape about half
way up the pole. This would keep
the stack from setting too close, leav-
ing them open to dry out faster.
The poles should be about ten feet
high and set in the ground at least
one foot deep, or deep enough to
prevent the wind from blowing over
the stack.
Do not trample the vines in stack.
Let them settle by their own weight
as thrown VI. Let the vines be the
height of the poles or a little less.
Slope off at the top to she'd water
as well as possible.
1t is best to shred as soon as the
vines are dry enough. The time nee
essary to cure will depend altogeth-
er upon the dryness or wetness of
the weather. The stack will heat at
first and then gradually dry out. If
shredding is not intended they should
be housed as soon as cured to be fed
as needed. Some leave them in the
stack during the winter till/needed.
This is a most wasteful thing to do.
For the pea hay being stalky and
to some extent open to rain in the
stack deteriorates more than any
other kind of hay from exposure.
The Star Pea Machine Company
makes an absolutely perfect imple-
ment. 1t shreds the vines and
threshes the peas all at once.

Keeping the Winter Vegetables.

ASCp14S IuC "4AlC4 VO6SSOO4SS"
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer
Whether for later markets or home
use, it pays to store the winter veg
etables with due regard to their keep
ing so we'll a that little loss as posi-
. bic will be experienced in rotting
or shrinking. The hardest thing on
winter vegetables or fruits is the
frequent change in the temperature.
The first condition aimed at is, there
fore, a uniform temperature. 1t mat
tiers not if this temperature is very
low, almost to the freezing point, so
long as it is maintained. Alternate
freezing and thawing will spoil the
best of vegetables. Usually winter
vegetables are stored in cellars, pits,
barns or sheds, and they keep some
what indifferently in any one, unless
special attention is given to them.
Most cellars are too damp and warm
to suit vegetables. A lower and dry
er temperature is needed, and this
can be obtained by giving better ven
tilation. Cellars that have no ven
tilation cannot have pure air. The
air becomes heavy with the moisture
that e~vaporates from the vegetables,
and this in turn affects the stored
goods. An outside ventilation is alb
sOlutely necessary for a good vege-
table cellar. When the weather is
wet this should be closed, or when
the temperature is very low. In this
way the moisture and cold can be
regulated to suit the needs of the
goods.
Most root crops, except onions and
potatoes, should not only be kept in
such a dry cellar, but they will do
better if packed in bins or barrels
and covered with dry sand. Turnips,
carrots, beets, parsnips and similar
vegetables will in this way retain
their %plumpness and juiciness. In
deed, they can be kept so that they
will practically be as good as when
first dug from the earth. Now all
these vegetables in the middle of
winter are in demand, and command
good prices, but most of them are
so shrunk and shriveled that they do
not pass MUSTER It is by storing
them properly hat we are able to
meet the requirements of the market
at our w profit. Cabbage in par
ticular need to be packed away in
dry sand or earth Immediately after
digging so they will lose none of
their good qualities. They should
be kept where the temperature can
not vary a degree until taken up for
the market. In some respects onions
are most generally small and shrun-
ken of all winter vegetables. This
is due to the fact that they are kept
IN too warm places, where they dry
out and even begin to sprout. They
should be stored away where they
will stay almost to the freezing point
until ready to sell. Then they will
command winter prices for fancy
onions, which are the best and high
est that can be obtained at any time
of the year.

the loss amounted last year to 90O,-
100000. Cotton seed meal is worth
S35 a ton as feed and when it is used
as fertilizers, at present prices, great
loss in money value results.
He also spoke of some of the obsta-
cles to raising stock in the South
and said that in order to have stock
we must have men educated in that
direction. He criticized the fact that
he saw no wel[equipped agricultural
building here, while very fine build
ings for other sciences existed, and
he censured the trustees-for their
remissness in the matter. His re-
marks drew forth considerable ap-
plause.
He showed that cattle were selling
higher than usual and would prob
ably continue high, and predicted
that cotton seed meal would never
be cheap again, because it is worth
$35 a ton for feed.
He emphasized the Importance of
the farmers getting agricultural ed
ucation, and proceeded to-show some
things specially needed. He showed
from his own observation that many
stock owners do not know whether
they have we'll bred or bad stock be-
cause of lack of knowledge in these
subjects. All stock must be bred for
some special purpose. A COW bred
for milking uses is not expected to
make a good beef type and an ami
NAL bred specially for beef is not a
good milk type. He told of two
steers-one Jersey and one Here
ford-that were tested in Ohio. The
expense of f~attening was practically
the same. The Jersey, weighing
1000 pounds at three years old,
brought little over four cents a
pound, the Hereford little over six
cents a pound. The Jersey dressed
5712 per cent net, the other 6712 per
cent net. Jersey made tallow 100
pounds; Hereford made 80 pounds
tallow. Tallow being worth only 3
or 4 cents a pound and beef a good
deal more, made the difference in
favor of the Hereford marked on
this item alone, so this test very
strikingly illustrated the Importance
of breeding the different types for
the purpose for which any particu-
lar type is wanted.
His next subject was the cattle
tick, which he considers the worst
obstacle to stock raising in the
South.
More. cattle die in South Carolina
from Texas fever than from all 9th,
er diseases combined.
An easy way to get rid of these
ticks is to separate an infected pas
ture from one not infected by a very
low plank fence a few inches high
This a be done because the tick
will not crawl or move on ground
nor than a few feet, and will not
cross a plank eight or ten inches
high.

EFFECTS OF FARM MACHINERY ON
AGRICULTURE AND CIVIL
IZATION.
The Essay Which Won the Two-Horse
Moving Machine with A. and M. Col
lege Prize Competition.

given to man-for his habitation in
all the beauty and richness of it's
newborn nature, no harmful weed
or unsightly thorn marred the per-
feet unity Of a complete vegetable
kingdom. Man was placed in a gar
den in which grew every pleasant
plant, herb and tree, that was good
for food. No tillage of any kind was
necessary, no tools we're used.
But man s1nned, and then went
forth that eternal decree, "By the
sweat Of thy face shalt thou eat
bread" Since then nan has been
forced to practice some form of til
Iage, and in proportion as cultiVa-
ton Of crops has developed, tools and
farming machinery of all kinds have
been developed.
During long stages of develop
ment, primitive man subsisted main
Iy by hunting and eating wild fruits,
but as the population of the world
increased man was forced to rely for
subsistence more and more on food
raised by cultivation. Doubtless the
first tools used we're merely sharp
ened sticks, with which the ground
was stirred. The seed were planted
and covered by hand and, if a crop
of fruit matured, it was harvested
by hand and cleaned by treading with
animals or by beating it -lout-with
sticks and pouring it out where the
wind separated the chaf from the
grain. Let us take a retrospective
glance at the evolution of agricul-
tural implements in reference to the
three great cultivated crops: wheat,
corn, and grass for hay.
WHEAT HARVESTING.
The origin of wheat as a food is
unknown. It is older than civiliza-
ton and was probably used as food
by our primitive ancestors long be-
fore they emerged from the obscure
ty of the ages. For more than forty
centuries this golden cereal has been
the staff of life for the nations. In
the advancement of human welfare
no cereal has been more instrumental
than wheat. It has developed the
mechanical ingenuity and other in
tellectual faculties of=man. Without
wheat, farms would be abandoned,
cities would crumble into ruin and
civilization would perish. The pro-
cess of reaping wheat is older than
written history. The hand Sickle,
for a time extending through CEN
turtles, reigned supreme.
Our earliest records are from
Egyptian history. A tomb at Thebes
probably built 1900 B. c., bears a
painting which shows the various
operation connected with the cult
walton and harvesting of grain. Two
men are represented with sickle-like
implements, cutting the grain some
what below the headsS behind them
a third man, working alone, seems
to be cleaning, while others carry

4 PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED.
The Presidents Action in the Case of
Lieut.. Howell.

The President established what may be
regarded as a precedent in the case of
Lieut.. James =. Howell 6th Artillery.
That officer was convicted in the Philip
pines ef drunkenness on duty and SEN
fenced to dismissal The President con-
firmed the sentence and then remitted it.
This action set aside the sentence and re
stored the officer to duty.
In submitting the case to the President,
Secretary Root said:
This officer has been tried and convicted
under the thirty-eighth article of war,
which provides that any officer who is
found drunk on his guard. party or other
duty. shall be dismissed from the service
The severity of the punishment required
by this statute indicates an intention to
describe a crime of the most serious char
acter. If this We're case of first impress
sion in the construction of the statute,
should feel obliged to say that the evil
dence does not establish the offense de-
sCribed. There has been, however, a long
course of construction through which it has
come TO be generally held that the drunk
enness need not be such as to totally inca
pacitate the party for the duty. but that 1t
is sufficient If il be such as TO materially
impair the full and free use of his mental
or physical abilities. 1t may be that the
defendants mental and physical abilities
were to some degree impaired. and that in
the sense thus given to the statute he comes
within its terms 1t is plain, however. that
he barely comes within them. and to a very
slight degree, and while | do not feel jus
titled in recommending disapproval OF
the findings OF the court, justice plainly re-
quires that the sentence imposed should be
commuted and mitigated in severity as
to correspond to the slight degree of culpa-
bility of the accused. | think the punish
nent already suffered by the defendant is
fully commensurate with his real offense"
The President indorsed the case as fol-
lows: The sentence in the foregoing case
is confirmed In view of the circumstances
disclosed by the testimony which tend to
diminish materially the culpability of the
accused and in consequence of the recon-
mendation to c.emency submitted by the
court, the sentence is remitted"
