BANK STATEMENT.

One Hundred and Ninety Three In

Their Condition.

Columbia, Aug. 7.-State Bank Ex-
aminer Lee G.. Holleman has COM
pleted statements of the banks Of the
State submitted to him under a call
made May 4. With the various other
duties of daily importance upon the
examiner it has taken some time to
compile these figures, and the SIM
pie table presented below represents
a vast amount OF clerical labor.
Mr.. Holleman began his duties as
bank examiner in March and made
his first call upon the banks for
statements on May 4. Under the act
creating his Office, all private and
State banks are required to submit
statements in answer to his demand,
just as in the case with national
banks under the federal law. The
statements were received from 1913
State and private banks in South
Carolina. There is no record Of the
condition of the banks in previous
years with which this may be COM
pared, but it is easy to see that the
statement shows a condition Of heal
thy growth and progress in South
Carolina institutions.

much moisture the plant has a way Of

ROUND WORMS IN SHEEP.
A Matter That Farmers who Raise
sheep should Take COGniz-
ance OF.

A correspondent from Nelson county
writes that the sheep breeders Of that
section have a great deal Of trouble
from the stomach round worm Prof.
J. ]. Hooper. assistant professor Of
animal husbandry of the Kentucky
state college. gives the following symp-
toms and remedy.
This stomach round worm (strongy-
lus contortus) inhabits the fourth
stomach, is from one to three inches
long and is of a reddish color. The
symptoms are weakness, paleness of
the skin and membranes. some fever,
and wasting Of the sheep generally. It
is hardest on poor sheep. and lambs
are affected more seriously than older
sheep.
Probably the most successful treat
ment is the one suggested by the bu-
reau of animal industry, which con-
sists in the use of coal tar creosote.
This medicine is not expensive and is
easily obtained and prepared. Insist
upon getting coal tar creosote. and not
beach wood creosote. which Is
higher in price and not as effective.
This is given as a one per cent solu-
ton; that is. one ounce of the creosote
is added to SO ounces OF water. The
dose Is for four-months-old lambs, two
TO four ounces; for older sheep from
three to five ounces. The sheep should
not be allowed any iced cor sixteen
hours before the medicine is given, so
that It will be given on an empty
stomach.
Remember that sheep in good flesh
can stand many ailments that a poor.
lean sheep would succumb to. Keep the
sheep in a vigorous thrifty condition
at all times. Farmers Home Jour

HERE AND THERE.

The easiest way on earth to make
farming pay is to sit down and theorize
while figuring out a fortune. The sur
est way is to take ones coat on and get
busy.
Diseased wood on a tree can never
be made new again. Cut it on and al
low another shoot to grow. Every day
that such wood remains on a tree adds
to the liability Of losing 1t.
Every Indication points to better
times for the farmer If our young
men will engage in farming. and con-
tinue In that occupation, 1t will mean
a great deal for their good and for the
good Of the country.
While aiming TO produce good but
ter do not forget that one of the most
important essentials is the purity Of
the sale. Butter may be injured by
salt, and as no mineral is more Diff
cult to rid Of impurities than salt, ex-
ira care should be exercised In secur-
ing the best that cen be cctained.

value of Poultry.

With poultry the ordinary farmer can
convert a great deal of waste material
about his farm into money in the shape
OF eggs and chickens. With intelligent
management poultry ought to be all
year revenue producers, with the ex-
ception. perhaps two months during the
moulting period. For the amount OF
capital invested. poultry will yield
quicker and large returns than any of
the other departments Of agriculture.
The manure from the poultry house
will make a valuable compost for use
in either vegetable garden OF orchard.
The birds themselves. II allowed to
run In the orchard. will destroy much
Of the injurious insect life. While
cereals and fruits can only be success
fully grown in certain sections, pouI-
try can be raised in all parts of the
country. Poultry raising is an employ
ment which the farmers wife and
daughters can engage in and leave him
free to attend to other departments. To
start poultry raising on the farm re-
quires practically no capital. and, un-
der ordinary circumstances, with prop
er management, it can be made a valu-
able adjunct to the farm.-E. r Beach,

THE CULTURE OF ALFALFA.
A Valuable Forage Plant That May
he Grown Almost Anywhere
fin the Country.

Actual experiment has demonstrated
the past year that alfalfa may be
grown practically anywhere in the
United States. There are very many
sections in every state where the soil
conditions are not suitable for alfalfa,
but generally speaking the experiences
Of farmers in every section Of the coun-
try proves that the former impression
regarding the valuable plant was wrong.
Now abundant crops are grown in sec
tions where formerly II was supposed
1t would not even live. and from year
to year the breadth Of the zone is Wild
ened. Experiments have shown with
great exactness just where alfalfa will
grow and where Il win fail. and the
rules and requirements Of the planting
and cultivation Of the crop have been
made clear. II may be laid down as an
uhbending rule that alfalfa will not
grown in an acid soil. Doubtless there
are many readers who are not able to
ascertain whether their soils are acid
or not.
To such persons the very simple test
Of using litmus paper may be recon-
mended. This is not the best method
known Of testing soil for acid, but for
the purposes In hand, it viii answer
with all reasonable accuracy. Any
druggist ought to be able to supply

ruin to the world virtually none has
been foretold by anyone having the
least character in the scientific world.
Even where some of the disturbances
Of the earth's crust have been foretold
the absence of the prophets measure

forts.
In period of 80 years OF reasonably
accurate observation, San Francisco

Yet, with a string of experiment and
observatory stations all round the

submarine cables winged by the light

ruin not only with no warning what
ever of the impending calamity but
with a thousand scientists wrangling
