SOUTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Conditions Given Out by tho
Department Observer.

There was a wide range Of tempeTa-
ture during the week ending 8 a. m.
June 18th, from 80 at Florence on the
9Th to minimum Of 49 at Greenville5
on the 10th, after which the tempera-
ture- rose slowly to about normal at
the close of the week. The cool nights
were damaging to cotton and tobacco.
fresh to brisk northeast winds prevail
ed during the night of the 9th and on
the 9th, which in places, was somewhat
detrimental. a severe hail storm occur
red in York county. Sunshine was In
excess. 49,:
With the exception of light showers
in York and Greenwood counties and a.
trace of rain in places on the coast, the
week was without rain, and in places
there has been no rain in over two
weeks. The ground has become baked
and crusted in places, rendering them
hard to cultivate, thus increasing the.
difficulty Of Kidding fields Of grass and
weeds. Although but few crops are ac-5
tually suffering the need of rain is7
felt in all parts of the State. s.S
There is but Slight improvement In
cotton, and that only where cultiya-
tion was early and thorough. There Is
some yet to be chopped, and many.
fields continue grassy and some have
been abandoned, although the greater
part Of the crop has been cleaned. The;
cool nights checked growth, and the.
plants are generally understood, andsin2
places have a yellow cast and lack
thriftiness. Lice continue damaging In
the central and eastern counties. The
first upland bloom was reported from
Bamberg county on the 4th, and the
first sea-island from Charleston on the
9Th. sea-island cotton is in a promis-s
ing condition, being clean and grow
ing rapidly. -
There has been no marked improves:
ment in corn which, as rule, is small,
in places yellow, and many fields lack;
cultivation and are foul. Early corn is
tasselling and being laid by in the;
eastern and southern counties. Bottom
lands have about all been planted*in
the west, but bud worms have been
destructive Sc that stands are badly
broken. ...1.;..,7::. t.;i7:
Rice is doing we'll, and juno 6faHfhg
is nearly finished. Tobacco was adverse
ly affected by the cool nights. in
Marion county the tobacco crop is poor;
and very unpromising. Melons improv-:
ed recently. Wheat harvest made rapid:
progress, under favorable conditions;
but the yields>are poor, owing to the
prevalence of rust. Oats harvest is fn-.

Yes, Sow Rape for the Pigs.

In answer to two inquiries about
the value of rape pasture for pigs, we
reproduce again the following from
the Wisconsin Experiment Station:
Read the experience carefully.
/. That with pigs from four to ten
months old, representing the various
breeds of swine, an acre Of rape, when
properly grown, has feeding value,
when combined with a ration of corn
and shorts, equivalent to 2436 pounds
of mixture of these grain feeds and a
money value of s19.49 per acre.
2. That rape is a better green feed
for growing pigs than good clover pas
ture, the pigs fed upon the rape hay-
ing made on the average 100 pounds
Of gain on 33.5 pounds less grain than
was required by the pigs fed upon
clover pasture.
8. That pigs are more thrifty, have
better appetites and make correspond
ingly greater gains when supplied with
rape pasture in conjunction with their
grain feed than when fed on grain
alone.
4. That a, plant of Dwarf Essex
forage rape, when planted in drills 30
inches apart, early in May, will yield
three good crops of pasture forage in
a favorable season.
5. That rape is the most satisfac'
tory and cheapest green feed for swine
that we have fed.
6. That every feeder of hogs should
plant each spring small field of rape
adjoining his yard, and provide him
self with few rods of movable fence,
to properly feed the rape to brood
sows and young pigs.
7. That rape should be sown for
this purpose in drills 80 inches apart
to facilitate the stirring of the ground
and cultivation after each successive
growth has been eaten off.
s. The hogs should not be turned
upon rape pasture until the plants
are at least twelve to fourteen inches
high, and that they should be pre-
vented from roofing while in the rape
field
9. That rape is not a satisfactory
feed when fed alone, when it is de.
sired to have any live weigh gain
made in hogs, though it has been
found that they will just about main.
tain themselves without loss Of weight
on this feed alone.-Indiana Farmer.

Flatirons.

The fIatirons must always be per-
5fectly clean. and it is best to scour
them each time they are used; Dy 40
ing it thus frequently they are kept
clean with very little work, While IL
neglected they are constantly doing
poor work, soiling the clean clothes,
and a long securing when they are
cleaned. After they arc washed and
secured each week, place on the stove
.to dry thoroughly and then slip each
one into little bag made with draw
strings for the purpose, or, at least,
slip each one into an empty paper bag
to keep clean from dust till they are
used again. A rag dipped in kero-
sene and salt is excellent for smooth
ing the bottom of an iron; or sprinkle
some salt between layers of Waxed
paper like that used for lining crack
9er boxes, which should be saved Tor
the purpose.-American Cultivator.

Kerosene Emulsion.

This emulsion destroys plant lice,
squash bugs, leaf hoppers, aphis, bark
lice, chinch bugs, ETC., prepared as
follows: Dissolve one-half pound OF
the best whale oil soap in four plnts
of water boiling. When the soap IS
all dissolved remove from the fire and
add eight pints of kerosene, agltatlng
the whole brisllly until stable mix
ture is obtained. This is best done
by using the force pump and pump
ing the mixture with force against
the vessel that contains it. Inc
strength ordinarily used is prepared
by diluting one part of the Emulsion
in ten or twelve parts Of water IN
making Kerosene Emulsion only whale
oil soap should be used-the common
soap will not answer the purpose.
The whale oil soap costs only a 1e"
.ents a pound.-Indiana Farmer.

An Excellent Washing Fluid,

The best and most harmless wash
ing fluid can be made as follows:
1 ball Of potash, on. salts OF artaf,
/ OF. ammonia. Crush the rosin OIL
the potash, then take the ball and the
salts of tartar and put in stone jar
with gal. of water. Let stand day.
then strain, and put in gallon jug
with the ammonia, corking tig' tly. 10
use, add spoonful to each bucket
of water used in boiling clothes. This
saves rubbing.-A. S. in Indiana

make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
yonr children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is SO close
that nino-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritabllity
arise from some arrangement OF the
organism which makes her woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. SO
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss OF voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. All this points
to nervous prostratlon.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months OF pros

SAVORY BUTTER.
Sayory butter is made by usi

Savory butter is made by using
some desired savory ingredient in
fresh butter. You buy either the un.
salted butter or wash from the salt
ed butter all the salt possible as when
you are making some kinds Of paste,
and then you rub into it with silver
knife or spoon such essence or flavor
ing as you like. Anchovy essence,
Worcestershire sauce, onion juice,
chopped Spanish peppsr or parsley, or
any one of a hundred things. Then
this butter is used for spreading
bread for sandwiches or for putting
on some kinds of hot meat or fish.

New York, June 20.-No one can go
into our schools or meet group cf
children on the street without noticing
how large a number of them wear
sspcctaclcs. The proportion seems to
increase yearly, and there are many
more who ought 10 wear glasses. The
experience Of one teacher might be du-
plicated by the score. She knew Alice
was inattenlive and she tho Int she
was unusually stupid. She said SO
to the principal and sent a note to
The mother, requesting that the child
be helped at home if she wished her
to keep up with her class. One day
after Il blackboard explanation, the
teacher called upon the child and found
that she had not seen what had been
written. She WAS kept after school
and by dint Of much sympu thetic q1es-
tioning Miss c. found that Alice had
never been able to see what was put
on the board and that her head had
acllcd so often and so hard that she
frequently failed to hear what was
said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack Of proper food, but in our Alneri.
can homes it is usually due to the poor
quality of The artificial light. The yel
low, insufficient light Of the ordinary
kerosene lamp, with its smoky CHM
ncs', is about as bad for the eyes as
car be imagined The fickering light
from 4 coal gas jet is but little better,
anu even the electric light, brilliant
as it usually is, has an unsteadness
due to variations in power, and 4 glare
peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves
Of sight. The comparatively new IL
lilnlinant acetylcne gas produces rs
nearly perfect an artificial light as has
yet been found. 1t gives Il clear white,
llnwaverins light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft, and SO nearly like tic
rays Of tho sun that cvcns colors ap-
pear rs in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylcne is very easily
and chcaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
thea lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acctylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds.
anu it is reasonable to expect that rs
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu-
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and The many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use Of this new iluminant.

LACK OF SELF CONTROL.
Health and Happiness Matter of Our
MTiII DoMer

Will Power.
It is lack of control that sends most
of us into conditions of nervous
whoops and hysterical fussbudgets. 1t
is lack of control that causes us to
speak harshly to the cook when calmer
words would do twice as well. 1t is
lack of control that makes us unjust,
quick-tempered, uncharitable and vim
dictive. 1t is lack of control that pro-
duces about nine-tenths of the head
aches from which nervous women suf-
fer.
You hear every day 81 worry so, it
makes me ILL" or 81 am so i'll most Of

There you are. The sick mind brings
the sick body. The sick body creates
the sick mind. Remember that the hui
man body has telephone system.
Whenever your mind gets into a tur-
moil the whole neighborhood of nerves
knows all about it. The stomach
.sulks. Every part of the digestive
apparatus takes vacation.

other course embraces mental beauti-

We all should realize that every
thing is a matter of the mind. Observe
the woman who is madly in love with
her husband. Several years later she
isn't. The man, no doubt, is the same
as he was when sshe loved him. And
the change? 1t is simple. At first her
mind saw only his splendidness, his
virtues and goodness. After time
it discovered few faults. She magni-
fed them. In doing this She lost sight
of his virtues. His goodness and his
faults were as she thought them. Ev-
erything was the product of her own
brain-so far as she was concerned.
She might just as weel have continued
to have thought him adorable. Then
