cottons.sd Meal For Cows,

Cottonseed meal is n Of the more
important heterogeneous concentrates
used in feeding live stock. There is a
prevalent belief, however, that If fed
for long periods to dairy cows it will.
injure the health Of the animals to a
certain extent. The South Carolina
experiment station undertook a reed
ing test with dairy COWS to show the
fallacy Of this theory and that when
free of the bulls there were no injuri-
Gus effects. Corn silage and cotton
seed meal were fed to ten cows, and
the results obtained were entirely sat
isfactory. They showed that cotton
seed meal when fed in c Injunction
with good silage may be fed to the ex-
tent of from five to six pounds per COW
daily without affecting the health Of
the animal. Instead, the cows kept in
an exceptionally good state Of health.

Have Learned at Last.

Farmers are responding all along
the line to The Advertisers appeals
in the matter of sowing wheat and
oats. Mr.. 9. M. Williams, one of
the leading wheat growers of the
CO .nty, some time ago reserved
about seventy-fve bushels of wheat
to sell for seed instead of having
it ground into -four. As The Adver-
tiser man is in the market for some
seed wheat, We asked Mr.. Williams
son a few days ago whether his
father could supply our need, and
his reply was: I'VE have sold all of
the seed wheat we had and could
have sold 500. bushels more" To
speak plainly: the farmers of Edge
field county 1.-THE writer included
are learning some sense" They are
tired of putting their hard earned
dollars into the pockets Of the
growers. of western corr and wheat.
They have learned that they can
grow these necessities at home
cheaper than they can buy them,
even with fifteen cents cotton.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
The Farm Wood Lot.

The first snow Of winter should BIS
made use of in getting up the supply
of fuel for another year, says Ameri.
can Cultivator. 1t Is much better to
do this before the snow becomes 80
deep as to make the work harder. The
careful farmer has looked over his
wood lot and calculated as to what
portion should be taken out for wood
or timber. AS these products are be
coming scarcer every year, it should
be the aim of every farmer to te the
best care Of the wood lot and select
out the trees for wood and timber that
1t may be kept in a thrifty, growing
condition right along.
The past season, owing to the long
period Of dry weather, much timber
was killed by the forest fires that pre-
vailed in so many places, causing dis
aster and loss. OF course on such
tracts the burned and ruined trees
will have to be removed and used to
the best advantage possible. The value
of the wood lot should ever be in mind
and it's future usefulness insured.

New Cow Feeding Tests.

An experiment in feeding cows
which it is believed will be watched
with keen interest by the Gairymen OF
the state has just been started with
the college herd at the Connecticut
Agricultural college. The test will run
for an indefinite, period and will con-
sist Of feeding two separate rations to
two different groups of cows. One
group will be fed avery narrow and
the other a very wide ration, and the
outcome Of this experiment will deter
mine whether high Dr. low feeding has
any effect on the vigor, fertility or pro,
duction Of the dairy COW. 1t is hoped
to have these experiments carried IN
for at least twenty years.-American

Resolutions by Friendship Ma.

Whereas it has pleased Almighty
God, the Great Architect of the Uni
verse to remove by death from time
to eternity DIR. Robert G. Mason,
therefore, be it resolved:
1st. That by the death of Bro.
Mason, Friendship Lodge loses one
of it's oldest, as well as one of its
most worthy and faithful members,
the country a patriotic and upright
citizen, the medical profession an
energetic and successful physician
and his family a kind and indulgent
father and husband.
End. That we extend to the be-
reaved family our hearty sympathy
in this great sorrow, and commend
them to our Heavenly father who
in all his dealings with his children
never makes a mistake.
Srd. That a blank page in our
minute book be inscribed to his
memory, and that the Lodge be
draped, and that the brethren wear
the usual badge for thirty days.
4th. That a copy of these lresolu,
tons DE sent to the family, and that
they be published in two county
papers.

Poultry In Winter.

Keep the scratching sheds or the
floors Of the poultry houses well bed
ded, as the fowls need exercise to
warm up their bodies these cold, frosty
mornings.
Give an extra allowance Of grain at
night, scattering it among the litter
so that the fowls can be induced to ex-.
ercise before they get their regular
breakfast.
There is no better winter breakfast
for the stock than equal parts, by
weight, of bran, middlings, ground
oats, cornmeal and meat scraps, to
which add its bulk in cooked cut clio

Mrs. A. S. Tompkins went down
to Augusta Monday and at the re-
quest of Mr.. Robert Berckmans car
ried a number of her fine chrysan-

Carolina Fair. Mr.. Berckmans has
said on more than one occasion that
he has never seen finer ~chrysanthe-
NUNS grown anywhere than those
exhibited at Edgeield's Fairs.
1t was a great disappointment to
Mrs. Abner Broadwater that her
very fine chrysanthemums were ex-
Guided from the Johnston Flower
Show, having arrived about ten min
utes after the hour for closing en-
tries. However, MI. Balk, the ex-

acted as Judge, pronounced them to
be among the finest chrysanthemums
that he had ever seen anywhere.

publish a paper such as The Adver-

Red and Blue Ribbon Contest

We learned Monday, through
that very excellent citizen, Mr.. John
w. Adams, that the members of the
Golfers Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union have inaugurated a
very spirited Red and Blue mem
bership contest. The plan is this:
The membership is divided, one
side adopting red as their color and
the other wearing a small piece of
blue ribbon. The two sides vie with
each other in their efforts to secure
the greatest number of new mem
bers. The side that loses-secures
the smallest number of members
entertains the members of the win
ming side. Such contests not only ad-
vertise the organization and increase
the membership of the local union
but'afford a great deal of pleasure
and diversion for the members.

Should Break Land in the Fall

arNfN s
The larger part of the land should
be broken in the fall for the follow
ing reasons:
L. We are not as busy in the late
fall and winter as we are in the
spring:
2. The grass, trash, etc., is turned
under to decay.
8. Insoluble plant foods brought
to the surface where the frost and
air can change it to soluble plant
food.
4. Housed insects are exposed and
frozen.
5. The soil is rough and loose so
that it will drink in the rain that
falls.
6. To permit the air to circulate
in the subsoil.
I. To let the water escape from
the surface without running over
the ground and washin~ 1t off.

Very Elaborate Stag Dinner.

Mrs. John r. Tompkins is an
artist, a musician, is skilled with
the needle, an excellent housekeep-

unsel6sh nature make her a queen
among entertainers. Wednesday
evening last MI. and Mrs. Temp

their brother-in-law, Hon. H. +.
Powell, and, with one accord, the
twenty-odd guests declared it to be
the most delightful function of the
kind ever held in Edgefeld. Al
though no member of the fair sex
appeared upon the scene it could be
easily discerned that a woman of
exquisite taste and possessing un-
usual gifts as an entertainer planned
and directed everything pertaining
to the dinner. The menu which was
more elaborate than that of the lun-
cheon given in Columbia in honor
of the President vas as follows:
