All Teachers Re .elected

The announcement that all of the
teachers of the Edge6eld Graded
School have been reelected for an
other session will be pleasing infor-
nation to the patrons of the school.
In addition to the six teachers who
have labored so faithfully in the
past, Miss Lille May Bailey has
been elected for the next session,
making sever teachers in all. Edge
field is peculiarly blessed in having
such a strong corp of conscientious,
painstaking, efficient teachers. We
seriously doubt if any other town in
the state oflikesize has such excellent
graded school advantages as Edge
field. These faithful teachers can
not be commended too highly for
their services. Parents, when you
chance to meet these ladies tell
them how you appreciate their work
as teacher. 1t will encourage them
and stimulate them to do even bet
ter next year.

Mr.. George r. Norris, have pur-
chased a controlling interest in the
Columbia Savings Bank and Trust
Company. 1t is capitalized at
5000, ooov of which 100000 is held
as a trust fund. The bank has a
surplus of $4,000. 1t has not yet
been announced who will be chosen
president of the bank under the new
management, but has been stated
that Mr.. J. 3. Norris and his son
Mr.. George R. Norris will engage

MIR. Hills seven-To Wheat.

When Mr.. Henry Hughes Hill
came from Idaho early last fall he
brought a peck of seven-top wheat
with him and sowed it on about a
quarter of an acre of land. He is
experimenting with this very pro.
life variety to see whether our soil
and climate are suited to its growth.
Those who have seen the wheat es-
innate the yield at about 40 bushels
per acre, but, of course, like all 9th
er grain, it was injured by the
drought. The outcome of MI. Hill's
experiment will be watched with
interest.

she will in time, and the change is
so gradual that no pause in growth
indicates when the milk diet ceased
A modified application of this, in
which the pigs are separated from the
sow at an age suiting their feeding
and the convenience of the breeder,
will not infrequently be found advisa-
bic, but by no means should the pigs
be allowed to remain with a SOW un-
til she is virtually devoured by them
as IS sometimes done.
1t is not a good plan to take all
the pigs from the SOW, unless one or
two of them can be turned with her
some hours after, to draw the milk
she will have at that time, and again,
say after lapse of twenty four
hours. The preferred way is to leave
about two of the smallest with her for
several days, and after that leave
only one for two or three days more,
by which time the flow of milk will
have been so gradually diminished
that no injury to the sow will result
by keeping them entirely away from
her. This extra supply of milk helps
also to push the smaller pigs along
i'll growth and put them more near
ly on an equality in size with their
thriftier mates.-From Coburns's Swine

BRUSHING THE COLLAR.

Did it ever occur to you when curry
ing your draft teams in the stabe that
half the danger from sore shoulders in
blowing time can be averted if we curry
the collars too?
We always examine Our collars before
we place them upon the animals should
ers and remove all roughness from their
faces.
We nearly always after hard day Of
work in the field find secretions of sweat
and scurf upon the collars which if left
to dry onto their face will roughen the
shoulder and cause it to gall.
We think just as much Of currying our
collars as we do Our horse, and keep
their shoulders cleaned up by washing
and brushing.
Sore shoulders in blowing time is very
annoying to us and we are willing to
take almost any precaution to prevent
it.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

COW is given too much of a certain
food. Put mans digestive tract out of
commission and see how quickly his ap
petite will leave him, and how soon he
becomes weak and unable to perform
his daily work. A cows alimentary
canal is not made of riveted boiler
plate, but of sensitive living tissue.
Cottonseed meal is an excellent feed
for COWS, but too much at one feeding
will cause more trouble than can be
righted in half dozen feeding times.
The same is true of velvet beans. Heavy
and continuous feeding with velvet
beans is likely to cause trouble, such
as indigestion, and scours, while COWS
heavy in calf are likely to abort. These
troubles can be easily avoided by using
care and judgment in feeding Remem-
Der, that like yourself, the COW requires
an occasional change of Diet. M.

STOCK NOTES.

You should keep accurate account of
each cow and find out her value to you.
Good butter is always in demand
either in the city or in the village.
Good rich feed makes good butter and
good manure, both dollars in your
pocket.
Milk carefully, the last drop is the
best, it also prevents the COWS from
going dry.
A good strong decoction of hemlock
bark is good thing for sore and chafed
horses shoulders
Groom your horses we'll and prevent
skin diseases
Don't feed carrots too literally, they
are a laxative Cut in slices so they
can be easily chewed up.
When you purchase horse better get
a mare she will raise colts for you and
increase your profits
Nothing like the mule for hard
knocks, he lives to a good, old age and
is easily taken care of.
Never kick or strike a cow, it retards
the secretion of the milk and if you
must kick something, kick the side of
the barn
If you are not working your horses
be sure to turn them, as we'll as the
colts, out where they will get plenty
of exercise and good fresh air.
While it is an item to feed we'll, young
pigs may easily be stunted by overfeed-
ing
Good treatment is seen in hogs quick
er than in almost any other animal
when an increase in feed or care is
made.
When pigs are allowed to sleep in
damp places the result will often be

MILKING.

The way in which a cow is MIXED
often has great deal to do with keep
ing up the milk production for a def
proper milking a COW can be made to
give more milk during the period of lac
tation than if the work is done less care
fully it will certainly pay not to slight
this part of the work. The extra milk
secured will represent a clear profit
aside from the little extra work invol-
we'd, and very small quantity Of milk
left in the udder at each milking will
soon total up to a value of several
dollars. So the milking should have
the same important place as any other
farm work.
At first sight milking appears to b,
a very simple matter, but the truth is
that milking is a fine art Many seem
to think that almost anybody can milk
which is far from true, or at least it is
not always advisable to have anybody
and everybory do the milking. There is
all the difference in the world in mixers
One who understands the work and en-
Joys it can, when in practice, milk COW
in far less time and do more thorough
work than those who perform the work
mechanically and with no object beyond
getting it done. The difference in the
amount of milk obtained from the same
cow in the hands of different mixers has
been noted by many A mixer who IS
gentle in his movements is pretty certain
to get all the milk; while milker whose
movements are rough is quite likely to
lessen materially the milk flow
A frequent change of mixers is a mis-
take, even in instances where two or
more members of a family do the milk
ing and each person understands the
work to about the same degree. A cow
gets used to a certain mi1ker and if d
change is made she probably will not
give down her milk so we'll nor can the
new milker milk her so easily or thor
ough1y as the mi1<er to whom the COW
is accustomed.

YOUNG PIG MANAGEMENT.

A hog is half made when past the
weaving period without a stunt or

two months is more expensive than

as scant feeding Or other neglect of

From the first week after farrowing
until weaving time the SOW will be

to be high-power machine in per-

care Nothing else is so we'll cal
culated to make pigs grow as bounti-
full supply of wholesome sow's milk,
and the pigs that have plenty of other
feed with the milk of a we11-s1opped
sow for eight weeks will ordinarily have
much the start of those weaned
at five or six weeks, no matter how
much food and attention the earlier
weaned pigs may have had.
At eight or nine weeks old most
pigs are, or rather should be, fit "
take away from the sow; some 1itters
are individually older at seven weeks
than others at ten, and better fitted
for weaving. Sometimes it is neces-
sary to wean when the pigs are five
or six weeks old, and in other cases
it may be advisable to wait until the
pigs are ten weeks or even older. In
the corn belt the period will generally
average longer than in New England
Breeders who wean at early ages gen
orally do SO in order to more profta-

A COW should always be MIXED in the
same manner, at the same speed and at
the same time of day. Changes in these
matters will tend to irritate and excite
her. When a COW becomes accustomed
to being MIXED at a certain time of
day, she knows when that time arrives
and expects and wants to be MIXED then.
If disappointed, she will probably give
less and poorer milk than if MIXED at
her regular milking period.-Wn.

FOR YOUR HAIR .
Here Are Facts We Want You to Prove
at Our Risk.

Marvellous as it may seem, ReXall
sse3" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course
# is understood that in none OF these
cases were the hair roots dead nor nao
the scalp taken on a glazed, shiny ap-
pearance.
When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, We do not believe that
ANYTHING can restore hair growth.
When Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
do as above stated, it is not strange
that we have such great faith in it and
that we claim it will prevent badness
when used in time. 1t acts sclentlfl-
cally, destroying the germs which are
usually responsible for badness. 1t
penetrates to the roots of the hair, st1-
mulating and nourishing them. 1t is
most pleasant toilet necessity, IS
delicately perfumed and will not gum
nor permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get bottle of Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic and use it as d.
rected. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and promote
an increased growth of hair and in
every way give entire satisfaction,
simply come back and tell us and
without question or formality we will
hand back to you every penny you
Laid us tor it.
We lend our endorsement to ReXall
"93' Hair Tonic. and sell it on this
guarantee, because We believe it is the
best hair tonic ever discovered. 1t
comes in two sizes, prices 50 cents
and s1.OO. Remember you ca2 obtain

wealth. influence and numbers. Save
the Methodists, there is no other
Christian church in those domains
There is said to be not single repre-
sentative of the Episcopal, Presbyte-
rian, Unitarian, Catholic or Seceder
church throughout THE Dutch Fork
Some years ago Lutheran carried his
family into the Methodist church, and
from thence he joined the Baptist min
istry, but could not induce his kim
dred bayond the Methodist lines. He
is the only Baptist, so far as known,
but there may be others.
Her thirteen Lutheran churches,
now working harmoniously and Sue
cessfully under common banner did
not attain this enviable station with
out severe trials and ordeals. During
the last half of the eighteenth century,
when the early Lutheran settlers OF
this region were, for long intervals,
without shepherds to lead the lost
sheep of Isreal along the straight aud
narrow path, there sprang up a pecu-
liar heretical sect known as the "Web-
critics." They operated mainly in Sc
cret conclaves, near Kenerly's (noW
Lorick's Ferry,) Saluda river, over
which Emily Geiger passed when on
her dangerous and patriotic journey.
bearing message of vast importance
from Gen. Greene, in Newberry to Gen.
Sumter, on the Wateree river.
According to DR.. Hazelius, in his
great book, "The American Lutheran
Church." the leader of this sect, Jacob
Weber, had a pal by the name of Pet
er Schmidt
Weber styled himself '"the God"
while Schmidt was the "Christ." D" Web
er's wife was "the Virgin Mary" and
a miserable wretch whose name is not
given was doomed to act as "his Sa-
tanic majesty" "The latter was plac-
ed in a bed, covered with pillows, Oh
which some seated themselves, while
others stamped with their feet on the
bed until life became extinct" These
misguided creatures were arrested,
carried to Charleston and tried. Web
er was executed on the gallows,
What became of the others has never
been known, as neither they nor any
of their kindred, have ever again set
foot on the soil of Lexington county.
The Schism OF 1919.
AS an anti-climax to this episode,
was the great schism in the Lutheran
church in 1919, which severed that
great denomination in twain and rock
ed it to it's very foundations. The
theological thunders of the leading
giants soon reverberated over the
hills and dales of the old Dutch Fork,
and there were fiery lieutenants there
to espouse the cause of either side.
But, like two estranged brothers, who
have shaken the glad hand over the
chasm of unfortunate differences, SO
these two great branches of the Luth-
eran church buried their disputes IN
manly, ministerial style and are now
carrying out their divine mission in a
more sincere, brotherly and Christian
spirit than before.
They meet in united Synod, and
ministers are called indiscrimlnately
