POINTS ON FEEDING

Never shut the door of the sheep shed
except to keep them in out of the storm
or to keep them from staying in when
fine, says S. I. Gibson in Breeders
Gazette. All through the winter keep
them growing Feed oats, bran, split
peas and oil cake-say two-thirds oats
and bran, one-third peas and cake,
about equal quantities Of each We
never weigh feed, but never feed 50
much but what they will eat more. We
have no use for feed in their tr0u8hs
except at feeding time. This rule is
strictly adhered to. In addition to
grain feed about a bushel Of roots to
ten or twelve per day, with all the clo-
yer they will eat without wasting.
Value of Shredded Fodder.
Shredded fodder packs closely and so
takes up little space. For this reason
it's palatability is often questioned by
those who observe the small bulk Of
it that it takes to satisfy an animal,
says E. T. Robbins Of the Iowa State
college. l have fed it to cattle, horses
and sheep of all ages and as the ex-
elusive roughness, from grass to grass,
with the best of results. Old dry COWS
and idle horses will gain slightly on it
as their exclusive feed, but young
stock, of course need also some other
feed rich in protein, for corn fodder is
very low in protein content. Horses
and colts maintain the digestive tract
in better activity with fodder than with
timothy hay.
Corn SiIage For Horses.
Regarding the value CT corn silage as
a feed for horses an Ohio farmer writes
as follows in Rural New Yorker: l
have fed corn silage to horses for ten
years; do not feed it as we do to dairy
cows-all they will consume-as this, l
think, would be injurious to horses, as
they eat it quite greedily and would
probably eat more than the small Stom-
ach could assimilate and thus cause in
digestion and perhaps death. Fed in
small quantities-say five to ten pounds
at feed three times daily, with wheat
bran or oats to balance the rati"1, with
what timothy or clover hay they will
readily consume-it will keep the system

or fattening, and, so fed, there is no
danger whatever of injury, in my opin-
ion, based on several years practice
feeding silage to six to ten head farm
work horses and colts
Pasture For Hogs.
There are hundreds of farmers who
would grow their pigs cheaper and of
better quality if they would study the
pasture proposition more and the corn
crop less, If necessary to make a sue
cess of pasture, says John NJ Jamison
in National Stockman. The farmer who
cannot expect to grow corn to finish the
pigs he would like to grow can breed
his sows to farrow at the starting of
grass and make grass the greatest fac
tor in their growth till corn is ready
to feed in the fall and then dispose of
them to the man who has a surplus of
corn.
Economy In Feeding.
There can be a great waste in over
feeding filling the managers so full that
the horse or COW simply picks out a lit
tie Of the best and the rest is thrown
out for bedding. Not saying by this
that the animals should not have all
they want to eat. but should have that
much and no Michigan Farmer

REFERRING to the action of the dis
pensary investigating committee in
releasing the whisky bills that had been
held up by a resolution of the general
assembly at the instance of Messrs.
Lyon and Christensen, Senator Tillman
took the position that il was proper for
the committee to authorize payment for
so much of the whisky as had been sold
by the state: but if it should appear
that the state had been swindled in the
transaction, the liquor remaining on
hand should not be paid for. This
seems TO us as just and reasonable,
Messrs. Lyon and Christensen. The
position of Mr.. Spivy TO the effect that
the liquor should be paid for by the
state without question because the bad
trade was made by duly authorized
representatives of the state is not at all
tenable. If any swindling has been
done. and there seems to be no doubt
that there was lots of swindling, the
it as were the representatives of the
state. and they should be made TO suf-
fer. 1t is difficult to see how they could
be- badly hurt by being required to take
back their goods. OF course, they could
not recover such rebates as they may
have paid hut the state ought not to
be held responsible for that. No,
MeSSrS Lyon and Christensen were un-
doubtedly right in the position they
took and the other members of the
committee are clearly in the wrong.

Legislators are not the masters OF
the people. They are their servants
and the people had not instructed
them TO abolish the state dispensary,
for there was no such issue when they
were elected; and when they them
selves were responsible or their pre-
deCessors were responsible Tor the
corruption which they had reason 10
believe existed, it is incomprehensiDle
to me how any man with the least
idea of obligations to the people who
elected him could act as that legisla-
ture did. The people have a right to
destroy the dispensary, but no more
representative of the people has
right to assume such a responsibility
as that would have been without hav-
ing a campaign and making the issue
before the people and getting instruc-
tons from them. All / have ever
asked is TO have all of the white peo-
pie pass on the question and let the
majority govern. / do not believe In
permitting newspapers to dictate to
few scheming politicians and to trade
among themselves and settle the ques-
ton. II the people Of county want
no liquor sold in 1t, let them vote for
legislators to say so and for the can
didate for governor who advocates
that. Let us be open and honest in
our politics and not vote for fence

question of the fact that the buyers
have an opportunity the like of which
does not often come their way. Lots
of staple goods are being sold al

gathered all the dry goods folks are
giving discounts on everything In

are low enough to warrant their pur-

SOUTH CAROLINA SECOND.
Remarkable Growth In Cotton Manu-
featuring Since 1900,


The striking growth In cotton manu-
featuring in South Carolina during the
past five years Is shown in a bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The in
crease In producing spindles has been
from 1,431 349 in 1900, to 2,S64,092 in
1905, or slightly more than 100 per
cent The number Of looms increased
from 1858 to 72,702, or over 20 per
cent. This increase does not include
number of spindles (65.400) and looms
Q,67S) from idle mills. The bulletin
states "in the manufacture Of cotton In
the United States, measured by value
Of products and number of producing
spindles, South Carolina held second
rank at the census OF 1905" That
statement is already on the lips OF the
school boys in South Carolina, but 1t
Is given here to show that the census
bureau specifically authorizes 1t.
Many interesting things are shown
by the bulletin respecting the cotton
manufacturing industry In the state,
he facts, figures and conditions Of
1905 being compared with those of 1900.
An interesting comparison Is as to the
comparative number of men, women
and children, wage earners, and the
comparison of wage-earners engaged
in the manufacturing Of cotton with
those in all the Industries of the
state.
The proportion of the wage-earners
in this industry to all the wage-earn-
ers engaged in the manufacturing in
dustries of the state advanced from
1873 per cent In 1870 to 62.7 per cent in
1905. The percentage Of men changed
from 25.7 per cent In 1870 to 49 per
cent In 1905, while the percentage Of
women changed from 45.3 per cent In
the earlier year to 27.3 per cent In
the later year. These percentages
show that the relative Importance of
these two classes of wage earners has
been practically reversed during the
thirty five years.
But this statement in the bulletin
may surprise some people who have
been contending or who have been
misled by others contending into be-
lieving that child labor in the mills
has been altogether discontinued. The
bulletin says:
THE proportion of children to the
total number Of wage-earners shows
the least change, the percentage hav-
ing decreased from 20 in 1870 to 23.7 In
1906"
1t Is also stated that in 1905 the cot
ton manufacturing industry repre-
sented 1876 per cent of the capital in
the state 62.7 per cent Of the average
number Of wage -earners, 555 per cent
of the wages paid, and 62.3 per cent Of
the value Of products for the whole
state. The number of establishments
increased from 80 In 1900 to 127 in 1905,
while the capital increased $43,078,483
or 1897 per cent; the number of wage
earners, 7,070. or 234 per cent; the
wages paid $2,634,S49, or So per cent;
and the value Of products, $19,713,725,
or 66.3 per cent.-Zack McGhee's

Mr.. Fraser Lyon has given out to the
press a statement in which he COM
pletely disposes of the canard that he
received double pay" in connection
with his work on the dispensary in
vestigating committee and that he fail
ed to submit an itemized account of his
claims against the committee appro-
priation as required by law. In the
first place, it is made clear that the
act creating the committee and carrying
an appropriation for its work provided
pay for the members. Mr. Lyon did
lot of committee work during the ses-
sions of the general assembly not con-
nected with his duties as member Of
the house and attended to his house
duties at the same time. This work
could not be neglected and involved
many extra hours hardly leaving time
for eating or sleeping. AS the result
of some of it the state was saved about
$4,000 i'm connection with the glass
contracts. President Seibels, of the
glass company testified to this fact a
few days ago. Chairman Hay of the
committee states that Mr.. Lyon GER
tainly submitted an itemized account,
which was audited by the legislature
and approved He said also that in
stead of being double paid Mr.. Lyon
was hardly half paid. The statement
of Mr.. Lyon makes it very clear that
there is nothing in the double pay
charges except an effort to prejudice
him before the voters
