That Should Not DO Allowed to II :
main on Any Farm,
Thore are three things on farms
that are denominations.
The three are mean teams, rusty
tools, and crooked rows. These three
evils are the farmers own fault. A
good team can be had at any price.
II you have q run. away" team you
have yourself to blame. They show
their '%raisin'." Treat them kindly
I'D they will treat you right. A team
that you cannot trust is not a team
for the farm. Get rid Of Runaway"
horses.
Cat first class tools and keep them
in fist class condition. You have
seen while out in the country q plow
here, a harrow there, and a cultiva.
tor Wonder, and movers and binders
In the shade Of a tree.
Won't there be a happy time when
the farmer who left his tools and
machinery out in the weather starts
TO farm? Won't his old pillow ''shed"
the soil rapidly?
WOu'G MS CulClVaGOr SnOVelS work
smooth? Well 1 guess not? 1t will
take several days securing and in
that time he has lost more religion
than he can get hack in o years
time. Keep tools in the shelter.
Some farmers make rows SO crooked
that they cannot follow them and
they blame the team, the tools, "the
old boy" and all things on earth ex
cept the man who laid Off the rows.
Straight rows tell the world the
love to farm and you love it enough
to give your best attention to keep
the rows straight. Keep your rows
on a bee line on a level piece of land
or comparatively so. If land has
terraces follow them.
Three points more and | am done.
Get a good team. Get good tools.
Make straight rows and see how much
easier 1t Is to farm.

The Statement Showing tho Amount
OF Tag Tex Receipts.

Va &sR SpS 1SSCSlptB.
The State says &c the meeting of
the Clemson trustees the board Of fer.
tilizer control submitted the following
report of the fertilizer department.,
for the year ending June Goth, 1905.
AS the annual tabular information
In full cannot be available, until bull
letins covering the whole seasons work
Is published, and all bills in the hands
OF the treasurer, this report is only
partial.
THE receipts from sale of fertilizer
tags amounts to 8128. 627. 46.
THE board of fertilizer control con-
ceding the Importance Of having b
fertilizer fiscal year correspond with
that Of the college, changed the time
SO that the fertilizer year shall end
hereafter on the 3Oth of June each
year, The secretary was therefore In
structed TO notify the manufacturers
and dealers Of fertilizers to send In for
redemption in money all unused tags
In their possession, by the Goth day Of
June. ~
I'm compliance with this notice,
tags have been sent In amounting to
50. 1913, which have oaen redeemed.
by deducting this sum from the
total, ~viz>Sl27, 627. So, we have left a
balance Of S118, 1882 from which the
e%xpens2rof inspection and analyses is
to $500 or this sum-, the
amounFo4 na. 05. SO was received from
cotton seeS cal tags, which Is S10,-
2o6.75 IN 9t;ess OF last year, due to
the tagging of all meal used for stock
food, and which has hitherto been ex-
empt by law.
'On account OF the vastly Increased
business In fertilizers, and the evident
Importance Of o closer and more rigid
inspection Of fertilizers, the board
deemed 1T advisable, i'm fact necessary,
to double the force Of inspectors. 1t
was also found necessary to increase
the wages Of these inspectors, In order
to get suitable men for the work.
I'm order to keep the people Of the
State promptly informed as to the
qluality Of fertilizers being sold, the
chemical force was instruced to issue
weekly bulletins Of the analyses Of fer.
t~ilizers and mail them to the people of
the State.
The board Of trustees will readily
see that on account Of these increased
demands the cost Of inspection and an.
alyses has been increased considerab.
ly, and IL the demands Of the people
are met for full information as to the
analysis Of fertilizers during the COM
Ing season, and your committee he.
lieves they should be, the cost will
still be more increased another year.
Respectfully submitted,

The Depopulation or ireland.

Tne emigration statistics for Ireland
for the year 1904 furnish melancholy

ient TO go per 1000 Of the population,
ieft their homes, the vast majority to
go to the United States or Canada.
The total OF SO, 002 is q slight falling
of as compared with several recent
years. and Is indeed the smallest az.
gregate since 1893. But, unfortunate
ly, the outward now has continued,
for since 1851 no fewer than 1907.
0l3 OF the Irish people have left their

these are among the flower Of the

history that the energetic and enter.

A COTTON BUYING TRUST.
The Greenv,.le News Publishes an
I%nteresting Article Ahont II.

Tho Greenville News publishes an
Interesting Article About It.
Is there q cotton buying trust in
South Carolinap Tho Grsonvills News
says.
The full story OF the cotton syndi.
cate was not published on Friday
morning, aud as The other chapters
are Forthcoming it shows that the
farmers are practically forced to take
the bull by the horns and protect
themselves against the evils which
are depressing the market. In the
interview Friday a man familiar with
the methods OF the mills stated that
all competition had been removed and
that the daily price was fixed by the
president OF the syndicate, who hap.
pened to be the president Of a cotton
mill In Greenville.
1t might be we'll to says just here
that the things which have caused
such bitter complaint from the farm.
ers are not confined to this city alone,
Anderson, Spartanburg, Union, %.
lumbia, and in fact all mill centres oil
North and South Carolina, have tC
battle with the same influence and
element. Georgia and Mississippi are
not In the clutches oi the mill trust,
and export houses, which are not per.
mitted to buy in this state, can pur
chase all they want in Georgia, fol
Instance, and sell it to the Caroline
mills. But they cannot buy direct
from the Carolina farmers, for If they
DO 1t NEAR a boycott.
There are probably a dozen cotton
brokers in Greenville. They represent
all Of the leading houses from New
York to Texas, and they sell direct tc
the mills. These brokers never handle
any actual cotton. That Is to say
they receive prices every day, and II
the manufacturers are satisfied with
the limits, sales eau be made. Then
the cotton Is shipped In the mills.
Ii these brokers could 20 into tho
local market and buy cotton from the
farmers 1t would mean higher prices,
greater competition, and thousands OF
dollars to the planters at the end OF
the year. But they cannot do 1T.
Whyp Simply because this mill SYM
dictate has given notice that II any ex
port house attempts to buy in The
Carolinas 1t cannot hope to sell to the
mills. There Is an understanding and
agreement between the spinners and
the exporters and az a result, practi.
cally all Of the Carolina product is
saved for home consumption.

THE BROWN SHORTAGE.
Commissioners ,Tatum Gives ont a
statemonc About II.

~AoSo " N-tMHH.
The following statement was made
by Commissioner Tatum In regard to
the money lost by Dispensary Inspec.
tor Brown:
Inspector O. Il. Brown was sent to
Charleston by me to do some detec-
tive work; he usually has been used
by myself, as we'll as my predecessor,
for this kind Of work when needed.
While In Charleston performing these
duties, Mr.. S. S. Matthews, dispenser
at Charleston, failed to remit to the
state treasurer, as required by law. 1
had adopted q rule, which requires
each dispenser who falls to remit dur
Ing the week to be visited and Inspect.
ed, and under this rule MI. Matthews
statement was sent MI. Brown, he be.
Ing on the ground. The report Of the
settlement shows that on the 18th day
OF June Mr.. Brown made settlement
with Mr.. Matthews and found him
short S1,84S.40, and received payment
OF that amount. This report vas re
ceived at this Office on the 14th; same
day MI. Brown reported to me verb.
ally his misfortune, stating that he
had some other moneys In the lost
pocketbOok belonging to the state
along with some Of his own. TO set.
tile up MIR. Browns account, we made
up 1884. 81; Mr.. Brown paid S242 90.
This amount was made up by my
friends and myself, not a cent being
contributed by any one not connected
with the institution; all voluntary; no
one being asked by me to contribute.
The question Of bond did not enter
the matter at all, as 1 was advised by
the assistant attorney general, mas.
much as the law did not impose the
duty to collect such money on me or
the Inspector, that neither my bond
nor MIR. Browns was liable for q cent
of the money. But the dispenser was
Still liable on his bond. The law pro
vides that dispensers remit directly
to the state treasurer. His receipt Is
the only legal discharge for them,
1T was entirely a moral question
with me. l did not propose that the
state lose anything during my admin.
~istration by myself, or appointees.
The custom has been ever since there
has been an Inspector for him to col.
lect shortages, authorized by the
board, as records will show. L have
however, since l found that they are
not responsible under their bonds for
any moneys collected, issued the fol-
lowing order, which records will also
show:
TO Inspectors Of the South Carolina
Dispensary:
In making settlements with dis
pensers where there Is a difference In
favor OF the state, do not accept that
difference in money, but require dis.
penSer to make remittanc, to the state
treasurer, as required by law, either
by ptstCfice order, express order, ex
press, or certified check.
See that this is done and then
give them credit upon the presenta-
ton of the receipt from one Of these
sources that the mount has been for
warded to the state treasurer"
