We have just purchased two German
Coach mares from the Crouch Company,
of Indiana. One of these mares is an
imported animal from Germany and took
the second prize at the st. Louis Exposi-
ton over all horses exhibited at that
show.
We are proud of our crops and our
live stock and we invite attention to
what we can exhibit.
1t is charged that our professors spend
money laVishly upon their houses,
flower yards, etc., and that they have the
products of the dairy and college gar
dens, etc., at their disposal. The truth
is that most of the houses are very
plainly and simply built; pretty flower
yards around them represent the money,
taste and hard work of the professors
wives. Furthermore, all the meat, but
ter, milk, vegetables and fruit belonging
to Clemson College are given to the
steward for the boys. The butter is
packed away in summer for them and
the fruits and vegetables are canned.
There is no graft to be found in this
faculty; they provide for themselves and
pay the market price for everything.
Anderson county sends more boys to
Clemson College than any other county
in the State. We have right, there
fore, to believe that we have many
friends in the county. We feel sure that
our friends will not be misled by any
reports of the "yellow journal' order
and believe that our institution is 80
fearfully mismanaged as these letters
would indicate. 1t is one of the finest
colleges in the South and one of which
South Carolina may we'll be proud. 1t
would be disastrous day which say
any of the income of Clemson College
curtailed or her advancement checked.

Farming for Profit In BarnweII.

Capt. w. B. Chitty, of Olar, has two
acre corn crop on blackjack land that
had been planted in such crops as cane,
peas, etc., and was in good heart. 1t
was thoroughly prepared, $500 pounds
of fertilizer to the acre, applied and
planted with Mason seed corn, in four
foot rows, hills five inches apart. He
has saved 1920 bundles of fodder, and
counting the ears on one row, two to the
stalk, he calculates the yield ut 100
bushels to the acre. Capt. Chitty proves
that there is more in the man than in
the land. Ris cotton crop has averaged
year after year bale to the acre.

This was somewhat varied for supper
and breakfast. The meats were killed
by our own people and kept on ice in the
best condition possible. With the ex-
ception of the beans the vegetables were
fresh from our college gardens every day.
The milk and butter were fresh each day
from our dairy.
We did all we could to feed our guests
well and deeply regretted that the
weather jnterfered with our plans. But
the farmers must have known that their
own gardens were damaged and ought to
have made some allowance for us.
We were greatly hampered by the
large crowd who came to the institute.
We welcomed them most cordially and
were glad that there was so much interest
exhibited, but when the dining room and
barracks will only accommodate 600 per-
sons and there are from 1900 to 1900 to
entertain, it becomes problem hard to
meet and some discomfort will be ex-
perienced.
Some farmers have complained of cold
ness and discourtesy on the part of the
professors. 1 do not understand this,
for there we're thirty-two professors and
officers present, and they were doing all
they could to make the stay of our visit
ors pleasant. Some were on the stage
taking part in the programme; others
were stationed in their buildings or on
the farm and stationed ready to meet
and talk with the farmers at any time.
The Agricultural College was crowded
all the time and the professors in charge
have said to me that while they made
many pleasant acquaintances, yet their
rooms were 30 full that they were not
able to talk with all their visitors, and
some left expressing disappointment.
Perhaps this gave rise to this report and
it is an injustice to the professors, who
were glad to talk with the farmers
whenever they were able and give all
the information possible.
We had 2S mules and eight wagons,
which we placed at the disposal of our
guests. Six of our mules have not been
able to work since, which shows how
much driving was done. We do not COM
plain, however, for we expected to do all
we could for the convenience of those
who could not walk. But the criticism
that we did not provide facilities was
untrue.
Our crops and our live stock are here
to show for themselves. Those who did
not see them simply did not go and look.
We have one hundred acres of bottom
land in corn which will average from
sixty to sixty-five bushels to the acre
our cotton was praised even by our
critics. We have 223 fine hogs of nearly
all the standard breeds and they are now
weighing from 800 to 500 pounds. The
farms, pens and pastures" contain the
following cattle: 10 registered Jerseys,
II registered Ayrshires, 3 registered
Shorthorns, 2 Registered Devons, grades
of cows representing Jersey, Guernsey,
