Bennettsville, S. G..
: Dear Sir: After a full discussion
this morning by the trustees and some
of the patrons of Red Bluff school dis
trict No. 4, known as "Long college,"
it was decided not to use the dispen-
sary fund appropriated to this dis
trict for this year and also to refrain
from the use of such funds in the fu-
ture. The vote was unanimous in ia
vor of rejecting said funds; and in
order that none could complain or be
injured i'll any way, the amount nec-
essary to reimburse the district was
voluntarily contributed. We desire to
go on record that we are opposed to
the whiskey evil and will not be lured
:Hto supporting the dispensary, or its
advocates, by the bait held out in the
school funds.
The amount Of dispensary funds
coming to this district is 1851. You
lw5H find enclosed herewith SIG to re-
imburse the district to that amount.
Yours truly,

The greatest destruction occurred in

Much Of the devastated district was at
one time low, marshy ground covered
by water at high tide. AS the city
grew it became necessary to fill ::
many acres Of this low ground in or
der to reach deep water. The Mer-
chants Exchange building, a History

edge Of this reclaimed ground. It
had just been completed and the ex-

minimum standard not only for milk,
but for cream, butter and cheese, and a
provision for the higher standards un.

of agriculture, higher standards to be

that more milk testing above per

DAIRY DATA NEEDED.
Records Locate Profit and Loss and
Help the Feeder.

BY CLARENCE b. LANE.
The condition OF the farming indus
try as seen on the average farm points
10 the need OF better business methods
and more definite knowledge OF the
sources OF profit and loss. In no de-
partment connected with the farm is
there more need for absolute data than
b the dairy.
The records Of progressive and I'M
progressive dairymen indicate that
there is no business which shows a
greater range of profit than that Of
dairy farming. Investigations OF cream
cry patrons illustrate this most strik-
lngly and show that one dairyman fire.
quently makes double the profits Of his
neighbors.
Good judges believe that one-fourth
OF the cows of the entire country kept
for milk do not pay the cost of keeping
and nearly one-fourth more fail to
yield an annual profit.
Records of the performances OF dairy
cows form the only accurate and safe
basis for judging their value. 1t is the
constant aim Of progressive dairymen
to improve their herds, and such I'm
provement must depend largely upon
culling the herd and getting rid Of the
improbable animals. From the breed
ers' standpoint records are especially
valuable in assisting in finding Gus
toners for their stock. Many buyers
insist on seeing records Of dairy per
Torrance before purchasing.
A record is also Of great help to the
feeder. IL he knows exactly what a
COW is doing he can prepare the ration
accordingly and often feed more eco
nomically. Again. a daily milk record
enables a dairyman to detect the ap-
proach OF sickness In a COW and thus
to take steps to ward it of.

CHEAPER FARM LAND.
Southwest Offers Best Oppor-
tunities for Securing
Homes.

Many farmers in the northern
and eastern states are selling their
high priced lands and locating in
the southwest. Many who have
been unable to own their homes in
the older country are buying land
in the new country.
Unusual opportunities exist along
the lines of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain Route. The rich,
alluvial, delta lands and river bot
toms lands of Southeast Missouri,
Eastern Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas, capable of producing 90
bushels of corn, bale of cotton,
4 to E tons of alfalfa, 80 bushels of
potatoes, and other grains, vege-
tables and hay crops, can be bought
for $50 to $500 per acre. When
cleared and slightly improved will
rent for $4.00io 5000 per acre cash.
Uplands more rolling, lighter soil,
adapted to fruit growing-peaches,
pears, plums, grapes, berries-also
melons, tomatoes and other vege
tables, can be bought for $500 to
$1,000 per acre in unimproved state.
Many places with small clearings
and some Improvements can be
bought very cheap.
This if a fine stock country. No
long winter feeding. Free range,
pure water, mild climate. A healthy
growing country, with a great
future.
Write for map and descriptive
literature on Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Texas, Kansas or Indian

Washing and Sailing.
II is important to know at just what
point to stop churning. For best re-
suits In freeing the granules from the
buttermilk and Incorporating the salt
II Is considered that the butter granules
should be about the size of beans or
grains Of corn, possibly little larger.
The churn is then stopped and the but
termilk allowed to drain. After the
buttermilk is well drained from the
butter granules an amount of water
about equal In volume and Of the same
temperature as the buttermilk should
be added and the churn given four or
five revolutions slowly, 80 that the wa
ter will come In contact with every
particle Of butter and wash out the
remaining buttermilk.
As soon as the wash water has drain
ed well from the butter granules salt
should be added. The amount of salt
used will depend entirely on the je-
mands Of the consumer. Usually about
an ounce of salt for each pound OF but
Ter will be necessary. IL the ordinary
barrel churn is used, which Is perhaps
the best form made, the salt may be
added In the churn. By giving the
churn a few revolutions the salt will
be quite thoroughly Incorporated with
the butter. 1t should stand in this con-
dition for few minutes, until the salt
becomes more or less dissolved, before
the working Of the butter il begun.-E
