News From Excelsior.

Excelsior, April 2,-We have, had
a chance of rain in this section and
very little farm work has been done
the past two weeks. The farmers will
have plenty of time though to get in
their crops from now on. A large
amount Of fertilizers have been haul
ed in this section but a good deal Of
it will be put under corn. The farm
ers are beginning to learn that it
doesn't pay to raise all cotton and de-
pend upon buying their corn. In
crease your corn acreage and cut
down your cotton crop again this
year and you will reap the benefit Of
it next fall. This ought to be the
motto of every farmer this year.
Glad to learn that our friend Chips
is improving from his recent illness
and hope he will soon be himself
again.

The Habit of Blaming.

Medical Talk.
Some people spend most of their
time in blaming other people. They
blame this one for one thing, and that
one for another thing. All day long
they are blaming somebody, accusing
some one, bringing up a list of dam
aging accusations against various peo-
pie.
The practice reacts upon the one

Cheap Hogs.

II you were to make a cheap coat
you should have cheap material to be-
gin with. But when it comes to hogs,
a cheap, ill-bred animal is not the
kind to start with! You should have

to start with in order to grow cheap

ing the conditions that are to rule or
control the prices of your cotton for
this crop and to some extent the next
crop, too. g..
| If you help do thing yourself then
don't go about blaming some other
fellow for doing it.
If you can buy your grain, hay and
other farm products cheaper than
you can raise these products, then you
are not as good farmer as the other
man that does this for you, and YOU
can also buy your cotton cheaper than
you can grow it, too.
Few people can realize how sick
they have been until they begin to get
over it; few farmers realize what q
fool they are about cotton until they
begin to buy high priced farm pro-
duets with low priced cotton.
If it takes wise man to act wise,
and fool to, act, a fool, then it is a
natural thing to expect none but good
business men to succeed in buying
many farm products with which to
grow the one product, cotton.
How many of these so-called "bus-
mess" farmers do you know of that
have been up against a business
proposition like this for many years
that now have nothing to show up
their business qualifications in any
form of accumulations excepting, per.
haps, family of ragged and ignorant
children and mortgaged mule or
! two7
| No doubt you We heard of the "bus-
mess woman' that borrowed q sitting
Of eggs from one neighbor and a
brooding hen from another-she said
she had the nest. Well, now, we are
betting on this woman coming out
ahead of the man that buys every
thing on credit that he uses in grow
i'll" his crop Of cotton.
Now, this is the class of cotton pro-
ducers that control the early cotton
market. These are the real bumpers,
and the men that furnish the supplies
OF all sorts to such unbusiness like, in
competent managers Of such an i'm
portant industry as cotton growing
are the real responsible parties. These
neverdo-wells could never rule the
cotton business unless the supply men
and the landowners put this import
ant business in the hands of such in
competent parties.
These business men and the land
owners are now coming together to
control this matter; they are requir-
ING each of this class of cotton pro-
ducers to diversity his crops which
IS the only way to enforce the ncces-
sary fundamental principle or sys-
TEN upon which the south can ever
make her prices for her cotton and
maintain profitable prices.

'oHt,ol tHe lfonC uOOr ana Dy the guard
at the gate, and asked him if he knew
where the fellow was that attended
toIsthe horses. The guard volunteered
to go with him and they found the
fellow at the stables. He told him to
bring him out one Of the best horses
as he had a dispatch to carry and had
to go good long ways. He did not
know whether he would try to come
back before day or not. He mounted
his horse and rode for the Confeder-
ate camp with all his might. Next
morning at daylight found him riding
up to Gen. Lees headquarters with
those papers in his pocket on as fine
horse as any yankee ever owned,
which he called his own, but he did
not enjoy owning him long, for he
rode him OF one of his trips and the
yankees came SO near getting him that
he had to leave his horse and let them
have him.
Now, this was the sort Of work that
T. was expected to do. He was brave
and daring and great many of the
boys felt uneasy for him; they we're
afraid he was too daring and would
expose himself unnecessarily, which
l think he often did, but he always
came out right side up, and went
through the whole war, with the ex-
ception Of a severe shock of shell
bursting near his head, without a
wound.
In the summer Of 1864 as we were
fighting Gen. Grant, as he came from
the wilderness, l think it was near
Deep Bottom that T went out on a
scout down OH the Chickahominy
river and was going through a wheat
field. The wheat was in full head
and nearly as high as mans shoul-
der. He was out between the lines
close to the yankees and was in lit
tie path when he saw two yankees COM
ing toward him. They did not see
him, so he got out to one side behind
a large rock and waited for the yam
KEGS to come thinking he would keep
quiet and let them go by. But as they
drew near he saw the one in front
was lieutenant and the other a cor
poral and but one of them had a gun.
He decided that he would try to cap
ture them, so as they got right up to
him he jumped up and drew down on
them, commanding them to throw up
their hands, at the same time telling
his own men to keep them covered
with their guns. This was a ruse to
fool the yankees and it worked like
charm. But to his surprise there
was another yankee right behind these
two, but he had no gun and surrend-
cred without a word. The lieutenant
had saber and pistol. n. made
them throw down their arms and
marched all three over into our
lines.
In my next letter l will tell you
more about this lieutenant and of
kind treatment to him by IT,, and the
fruit it bore in the days of reconstruct
ton, when T. and good many Of his
neighbors were arrested as Ku-Klux.

Clemson College, S. c., Feb. 24,1906.
Mr.. j. c. Stribling, Pendleton, S. c.,
Dear Sir:-Referring to your in
quiry concerning the feeding of cot
ton seed and ruta baga turnips to
hogs, will say that assisted by Mr..
Burgess. | have looked up the nutri-
tive ratio of these two feeds and find
that using them in the proportion that
you have practiced, that is l 1-2 BUSH
els Of cotton seed in sixty gallon
boiler, the boiler filed with turnips
and then the whole mass boiled,
makes an excellent feed for either
brood sows or young pigs. I do not
know whether you compounded this
ration for the especial purpose for
which II is used or not, but you have
hit upon the exact nutritive ratio for
brood Sows and pigs, which is'1-4, and
you could not we'll improve upon it.
For brood sows without pigs, the
cotton seed meal should be decreased
and the turnips increased, since it is
not necessary under such conditions
to use feed so rich in protein.
Trusting that this may answer it's
purpose, I am
Very truly yours,

nothing but food Of one pound cot
ton seed to four pounds ruta baga
turnips boiled together, from first Of
November until April. In April the
clovers, alfalfa, spring turnips, bar
ley, rye, sorghum, with good bermuda
and other good pastures, with little
bran slops and surplus garden truck,
will keep shoats, sows and pigs grow
ing until August, when early cowpeas
and soga beans will come in. You
should fence in these beans with
cheap hog wire fence, moving it about
to suit, as you cannot afford to pick
peas for hogs! We are not stuck on
the plan Of turning hogs on ploughed
land III spring or summer to gather
potatoes, pindars, etc., as their root
ing up the soil in wet weather does
damaee-besides you want rings in
their noses while on pasture and the
pea fields. We have planned to plant
IL acres Of soga beans and will Craze
these with hogs, as we'll as IL acres Of
cowpeas and finishing on little
corn: Some farmers do not seem to
know that the days of root hog or.
die" has gone, and we cannot expect
hog to root his living out Of the
ground unless there is something in
the ground to root for! A profitable
hog must be kept growing from start
to finish.
Not being sure about our proper
tions Of cotton seed and ruta bagas
being a we'll balanced ration for sows,
pigs and shoats, we called on Prof.
Newman, Of Clemson, who has ell
dorsed our ration as being about right
in his letter following this.

ing 1904 the appropriations for items
other than construction were $1,000,
and taking that as the amount for
1905 we find the total appropriation
for carrying on the operations of the
board of health were $4,000, or $1,000
per year, being an increase of about
5000 per over the average of Mr. Din
MES administration. This, however,
is not the full story, because during
Mr.. Dinnies administration and prior
to July 1, 1908, the city cared for all
pauper patients. By chapter Al of
the 1903 laws, being a bill introduced
by DR.. Taylor, this expense was put
on the county, thereby reimbursing
the city for such expenditures.
DR.. Wheeler says the sand in the
filter never should be less than four
feet in depth; four feet is the safe
limit. The minimum depth of asand
now in the filter is foot and 10 inch
es. Prof. Babcock reports that the
chemical analysis discloses the water
to be not what it should be.
There is an insufficient amount of
sand in the filter; the water is report
ed to be not what it should be; the
board of health expenses increase
from so to rs per cent per annum.

for quite length of time The legal
department served proper notice upon
the telephone company, which settled
the loss at $3.50.
2. In the Altman case, $33,4O0; the
negligence of the supertendent of
water works and street commissioner
in laying and permitting to be laid
water pipe with its guards on top of
the pavement created liability
against the city of $3.50.
3. In the Edmonds case, $4,000,
which was decided by Jury at the
last term Of court, giving verdict of
$500. The negligence of the city is
prediacted upon the act OF the street
commissioner in tearing out the side
walk and carelessly putting in bed
of sand in the place thereof below the
level of the walk.
In connection with these facts there
should be considered the cost of main
tanning the legal department, for
which there was expended during the
last four years of the Dinnie admins
tration an average of $685.. so per
year, while during the Duis admin
istratiop by reason of the increased
litigation the annual cost was
$1,2S5. 70, or almost twice as much.

One more step is still necessary,
according to teachers, in order that

of arranging to teach the youth in the
public schools in some of the more
important elementary facts and prin-

The aggregate appropriations for
the board Of health during Mr. Din

this included among others the fol-
lowing items: Purchase and repair
of site, including buildings, ETC., in
1900 and 1902, s2,5OO; scavenger, 1900,

appropriations for the board of health
for the past two years during Mr..

the actual expenditures were $1O,950.
Dealing, however, with the appropria-

A Movement Should Be Made to Add
o Study of Agriculture.
BY e. c. snyder.

Washington, d. c., March 90
Turning funds from the sale of
public lands into channels enhancing
the. production of the soil is one of
the wisest provisions OF the American
Congress. This provision, as en7-.
bodied in the Hatch and Morrill, acts,
has had a tremendous influence, in i'm
proving methods of thousands of acres
Of semi-arid and waste land.
The Hatch fund for experimental
stations was the first step taken by
congress in working out the destiny
of the West. The Morrill, act providing
for instruction in technical agricul-
ture was necessary in order to pre-
pare men for getting the results of in
vestigations of experimental stations

them an appreciation of all that is
best in life.
1t means much to impress now and
then farmer with the Importance OF
more intelligent farming, but it means
infinitely more, to establish this desire
in the minds of youth as can only
be done through the teachers of the
public schools.
THE surest and quickest way Of
improving citizenship" says Professor
Crabtree, "is to improve the character
of instruction in the public schools.
Every argument in favor of the famous
Morrill, act applies equally well to the
Burkett-Pollard bill. AS has been
shown this new bill Is even a greater
measure than the Morrill, act in that
1t carries the benefits of the expert
mental stations and agricultural
schools into the homes of the people,.
