Gov. Ansel yesterday announced posi-
lively that he would not extend the
time for the payment of State taxes
A number Of officials have recently
written him on the subject and inquired
as to his intentions and, after confer
ence with Comptroller General Jones
yesterday, the governor decided that it
would be useless to extend the time
His excellency thinks that the small
penalty of one per cent. in January and
an additional one per cent. in February
was fixed so that no hardships would be
worked on those who are unable to pay
up by the first of the year. He also
believes that if the Legislature will
make an additional levy of two mills
State taxes for three years the finan-
ces will be on sound business basis,
and it will not be necessary to borrow
between $3.50, 600 and $500, 600, the con-
Btitutional limit, every year After
this, he thinks the levy can be lowered,
and with the riso in values and eco,
nomical expenditures the State will
save considerable amount in interest.
1t has been several years since the
time for the payment Of taxes was ex.
tended, the last time being in 1901, by
Coy. McSweeney. At that time the
officials believed it necessary, and the
poor crop outlook demanded the step
Since then, however, the farmers have
been prosperous, and Gov. Anse
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1908-01-01

thinks that an additional levy would not
be a hardship.
In the meantime the clerks in the
State treasurer's Office have been busy
receiving money from the county treasu-
rers, about 1927, 900 being deposited in
two days. 1t is not thought that the
collections this year will fall behind
those of last year. The State, Dec. 81.

Stag and Saltpetre.

The cheapest way to supply lime
to the soil is to use basic Stag as a
source OF phosphoric acid for the fer
tilizers. Stag carries from thirty to
fifty per cent of lime, and the value
of the phosphoric acid 1t carries will
cover its whole cost.
In regard to nitrate OF potash (salt-
petre) which cost me about 500 per
ton, $3.50 per hundred pounds, the
exceeding richness of the chemical
makes 1t the cheapest source for pot
ash and nitrogen that l know. Each
one hundred pounds carries forty
four pounds of potash, in which form
1t cost me this season, delivered,
about $40 cents per pound. This
forty-four pounds at $50 cents comes
to s2.2S, which taken from $3.50
leaves s2.22 for the value of the four
teen pounds of nitrogen contained
in one hundred pounds of nitrate of
potash. or 15 6-7 cents per pound
for the nitrogen which Professor
Goessman assured me is equally valu-
able with the nitrogen derived from
nitrate of soda which costs me de-
livered this season $5S per ton, or
S2.90 per one hundred pounds; one
hundred pounds of nitrate of soda
contains about fifteen and one-half
pounds OF nitrogen, making the cost
of one pound of nitrogen in nitrate
of soda sulphate of potash.-Monroe

Water Supply For Farn.

In reply to inquiry made by c. B.
T., on the farm water supply would
say we have had the compressed air
tank in use ten years and it is satis-
factory in every way. The tank
should be placed in cellar, or a room
above ground made frost-proof; then
there is never any trouble. The
elevated tank is usually out of COM
mission two or three months in the
year, while severe winter weather
lasts. The cheapest way to put in
water works is to buy a rejected
steam boiler for your tank; then the
water can be pumped into same by
either a wind or gasoline engine,
the latter possibly to be preferred,
because 1t can be operated at any
time and the engine can be utilized
for many other purposes on the farm
The cost of such an outfit should
not be over $3.50, depending upon
how expensive your boiler is. / have
twenty-barrel tank that I bought
for $25. The pump and piping cost
$40, and two and one-half horse
power gasoline engine SIS; total,

Cost Of Making Milk.

A Canadian milk producer figures
the cost of production as follows:
Taking fifteen cows as a unit that
one man is capable of taking care of,
as we'll as the product therefrom,
and assuming that the man is worth
$3.50 a day, we must charge up
ten cents day against each COW for
labor. Assuming that each COW
averages five thousand pounds of
milk year, which is about six
quarts a day, such COW should re-
ceive one pound of grain for each
three pounds of milk she gives, which
would be about five pounds of grain
q day. The cost of the grain would
be six and one-quarter cents a day.
Adding to this the cost before men,
toned of producing specially
pure, clean milk, we have a total OF
at least seven cents a quart, as the
cost of its production on the farm.
To this should be added the cost OF
shipping to the city, which is an
additional burden to the farmer

Fattening Hogs.

In the experience gained at the
Missouri Experiment Station Pro-
fessor Forbes says that corn supple
mented with wheat middlings and
oil meal makes the best and cheapest
ration for fattening hogs. He says:
For dry lot or pen feeding of hogs
the cheapest feed is corn supplement-
ed by wheat middlings or oil meal.
At the Missouri station we have
made 100 pounds of pork from five
parts of thirty-cent corn and one
part of $24 oil meal at a cost of
$2.75 per hundred weight. At the
same time we made 100 pounds of
pork from two parts of corn and one
part of SIS wheat middlings at
cost of sass. In the same expert
ment corn alone made pork at cost
of 1888 per hundred weight"
When pasture can be provided,
pork can be made the most economic
ally on 1t. The same authority above
mentioned writes: Experiments at
the Missouri Experimental College
show that with corn at thirty cents
per bushel, it costs $2.79 to make
one hundred pounds of pork where
blue grass is fed with the corn, with
rape and corn the cost is $3.50 per
hundred weight, and with alfalfa and
corn the cost of 100 pounds of pork
Is but S2.13."

The Future and Sheep.

All who keep up with the trend OF
the live stock industry agree that the
demand for sheep will go on increas-
ing for many years. In referring to
the matter the Shepherds Criterion
has this to say:
Farmers as class do not yet un-
derstand sheep we'll enough to pro-
duce them successfully, though the
majority of them raise other things
that require more care and effort and
produce poorer results. While 1t is
true that many are going into sheep
for the first time, and hundreds have
been converted to the right way of
thinking, still. relatively speaking,
comparatively few of the small farm
ers carry sheep. 1t will take long
time to educate some that sheep are
the best live stock they can raise
best for the land and for the bank
account. In the meantime mutton
consumption will continue to grow
very rapidly, and in our opinion the
time will be far distant when the sup.
ply will again overtake the demand.
are practically filled to the limit, and
SO there cannot be much expansion in
that direction. The chief increase
must be on the Eastern farms. Here
the dog and the stomach worm have
to be contended with, and there are
at the present time very serious
handicaps to the small farmer. If
man can raise enough sheep to war
rant his special and constant and
special attention, then the dog nuis-
ance can be effectually eliminated,
but the stomach worm is an enemy
in the dark that cannot be easily con-
quered. All things considered, II Is
by no means likely that sheep hus-
bandry will advance fast enough to
make the business Improbable for
the next twenty years. AS long as
there is a sensible protective tariff
on wool sheepmen will have strong
encouragement, but even IL they had
to depend on mutton quality almost
entirely, they are now well enough
fortified to go ahead on a profitable
basis. 1t is estimated that fifty per
cent. more mutton Is consumed IN
this country than twenty years ago.
The annual receipts at Chicago are
more than million more than in
1897, while there has been a corre-
spending increase at most of the
other Western markets. If under
these circumstances mutton can be
sold at record price, then it follows
that 1t has a strong grip on the Amer
lean appetite, which is bound to en-.
dure. The slaughter OF sheep and
lambs. particularly lambs, is going on
so rapidly that producers are now
much behind the requirements, and
that is why prices are SO high. Chi
cAgo for the first nine months this
year falls 100000 head short of last
year, In spite OF the fact that more
people have gone into the sheep busi-
ness. A supply of $4,000, 900 sheep
is not large enough for country
with over 100000 people. with q
million foreigners landed every year.

Keep n Few sheep.

Professor +. B. Mumford, OF Mis-
souri, experiment station. shows that
tests have proved that sheep produce
more meat from pound of grain
than any other farm animal. 1t was
shown that pound of mutton can be
produced from about half as much
grain as a pound Of beef. Even the
mortgage lifting hog requires more
grain to produce a pound of human
food than the sheep. With the COM
bination of corn and clover hay for
food and dry shed for shelter
sheep will always give good account
of themselves and respond readily
to the care given them.-Farmer's 8
Guide.

An Economical Empress.

In private life the Empress Of Ger
many wears hardly any jewels. In
fact. her life, apart from State occa-
sions, is conducted on the simplest
possible lines. She is extremely eco
nomical regarding the clothing of
her children. When her sons we're
boys the suits of the elder ones were
actually cut down to fit their young
er brothers. The Empress is equally
careful with her own wardrobe. She
has stafr of dressmakers who are
always at work remodeling her
gowns, so that It is possible for her
to appear several times in them with
out their being ognized.-London
