REEF CATTLE A SPECIALITY.
Cattle Raising SAFE EnselA go
- but should BE n Spe-
cial Feature.

South Carolina has never raised peel
cattle to any extent Up to THIS date,
with a few exceptions, cattle OF All
sorts. sizes. sexes and ages have been
bought up by dealers, fed short time
and put on the market. In the upper
part of the state no one so lar as we
know has made it special business
II ts now one of the.safest enterprises
that a farmer can enter on. The price
of beef is high, and the demand IL
constant There is no danger OF glnt-
ting the market. Cattle small gram
and cotton make combination that
win lift mortgages, improve lands, give
better homes and produce more pros
porous conditions. $500
when one looks over the waste
| places of this state, he sees the neces-
sity of a revival. The Beef trust Is
fastened, on the people. The price OF
| cut meats is fixed by the trust, which
| is encouraged by our national legisla-
tion. There is no sign Of reduction
in the price. Our people should DC
exhorted to raise beef cattle on a large
scale. On the rivers and abandoned
lands of the state there is ample room
for thousands of cattle.
| Raising beef or fat cattle is a spe'
cialty. The dairy business, thorough
bred hogs, sheep and horses can no
go along with it. The fact is, TN
farmer who is trying half-dozen o
more specialties at the same time vii

WHEAT GLOVER ROTATION
r.. Growth of Glover Improves
the Soil splendidly For ~
the Coming CsSS,

The growth of clover improves the
col, in splendid way for the coming
cron When clover is sown among the
Young wheat, the roots strike deep
and the plant collects and feeds on
nitrogen. Thus the clover stores up
a supply of this useful and expensive
element of plant food in the subsoli
for the growth of wheat or corn winch
follows. -
The large amount of nitrogen which
the clover contains is one OF It's most
nrominent features, it being twice as
much as that found in the grain crops.
IT is found that the two average clover
crons of the one year contain about
four times as much nitrogen as would
no contained in an average crop OF
wheat grown on the same land. Ana
there still remains in the roots, STUD
HE and leaves of clover more than
enough nitrogen that can be used by
the wheat crop which will follow
The thing for the farmer to do is

he can easily get by using the proper
amounts of potash and phosphorus
acid. In the clover, as in all the roo'
crons potash is the most needed ele-
ment. therefore, potash fertilizers are
found to be the best for them.
In a rotation, by growing clover

err of your Home Health club lectures.
Will YOU please tell me if the follow

One part alcohol.
One part ammonia
One part glycerin.
Also tell me il 1t would not be Just
as beneficial with two parts glycerin
tn one of each of the others? Re-
spectfully yours, B. ID.
II YOU are in the habit OF working
outdoors or have your hands n water
frequently, do not think the formula
which you have given would be extrs
good for your hands. A much better
formula consists of one-half glycerir
and one-half witch hazel. This shoult
he applied at night, after thorough!
washing the hands with soap ant
warm water, rinsing OF all of the soal
very carefully. and then applying tn
solution. II should also be again ap
plied the next morning after washin
the hands.
For the other skin trouble, woul
suggest that you use the vegetable rem
edy which / told you of in my pei
sonal letter. This remedy will ais
keep the skin of the hands soft an
n,iable. in spite of very rough usage.
