ten or twelve head and over the silo
is a profitable investment. Corn en-
silage is, however, not in itself rich
enough for a complete ration and
should therefore be supplemented
with some concentrate and in this
section cotton seed meal should be
used as a basis for the concentrated
portion of the feed. A fairly good
ration for a cow weighing 900
pounds and giving thirty-two quarts
of milk daily would be forty pounds
corn ensilage; four pounds cotton
seed meal; two pounds corn meal;
and two and a half pounds wheat
bran along with about six pounds
good, bright stover or mixed sorghum
and pea vine hay.
The corn meal may frequently be
profitably replaced by dried beef
pulp which is giving very good re-
suits as dairy feed and can gene
rally be obtained here for much less
than corn meal. Salt should be given
regularly, preferably on the feed.
say about a small table spoon full
sprinkled on food twice daily.
For best results the cows should
be kept warm and comfortably
housed in winter and, chiefly because
feeding and watering should be done
at regular intervals, it is best to
supply water in the stable. The
dairy COW is q very sensitive Great:
ure and quickly resents i'll treatment,
SO that all rough treatment should
be absolutely abolished in the dairy
barn. Treated in this manner the
dairy cow will go on complacently
chewing her cud, generously pouring
out the milk, and scarcely, noting the
difference between summer and win
ter. Fed on such a ration as above
described, which is only one of many
good ones, the cost to keep at
market prices for the feed for COW
giving $50 to 900 gallons Of milk
would be from $50 to $50 per year.
Figure out the profits from such a
business for yourself and when
through do not forget that in a short
time; after establishing small dairy
herd the per acre yield Of cotton and
other crops may be doubled and treb-
bled; in short there is no more ideal
method of building up a farm than
by establishing a dairy herd on IT..
When properly handled the losses
from diseases in a dairy herd are
comparatively rare though some Of
the common diseases will be dealt
with in subsequent article.
It is safe to say that the dairy COW
is destined to play an important part
in the building up of many Of our
so-cailed worn out farms.

YOUNG MASTER ARRESTS NEGRO
Went to New York From Clarendon
for Him.

There is a story of the kind re-
porters call human interest" behind
the requisition made by Governor
Ansel upon Governor White of New
York for Anthony Burgess, colored,
wanted in Clarendon for the alleged
murder last January % of his SON.
in-law. The New World tells the
story as follows:
MANY years ago old black An
thony Burgess used to nurse and care
for l.. R. Mcintosh on the plantation
down at Manning, s. C. Yesterday
that same L. R. Mcintosh appeared
with requisition papers and Sheriff
E. B. Gamble of Clarendon county
and started back to Manning with
the old negro, who will have to stand
trial on the charge of numbering his
son-in-law.
"The negro was arrested week
ago on description sent by Sheriff
Gamble, but he refused to admit his
name or that he, was the man want
ed. Yesterday when Mr.. Mcintosh
appeared at police headquarters and
Anthony was brought before him, he
said:
"'It's all right; l knows that man,
cos I nussed him when he was a
baby and I knowed his father befo'
him. They's gentlemen, and I won t
put no gentlemen to bother on my
account
when asked if he were willing
to return with the officers from South
South Carolina, the old man said:
&C <I'll do anything they wants me
to do. I've made enough trouble
now. 1 run away cos l was afraid
of what the negroes down there might
do to me. I wasn't afraid of the
whites, COS they're gentlemen. I'll
go back and if they clear me all
right, and if they don't-why that'll
be all right, too.
"And Mcintosh slipped his arm
through that of Anthony and said:
Come along, uncle. To reporter
he said: My fathers last dollar
will be spent, if need be, to clear the
old niger
Burgess is charged with killing
his son-in-law on January % last by
shooting. The old man maintains
that five weeks before that the man
killed his daughter by mistreatment.
Anthony had but one regret at
leaving New York, and that was that
the. Baptist mission church, where he
had acted as janitor, owed him 81
for services. He hoped Pastor Will
son would hear of. his predicament
and forward the money to him in
care Of Sheriff Gamble"

Care of the Dairy Cow. !

B AS dairy products have for long
time, been popular as human foods
and are destined to remain so In
definitely, it is surprising that SO
little attention has been given to the
production and especially is this true
in our Southern States. It is safe
to say that there are no articles 80
commonly used in our diet about
which there is such a lack of accu-
rate knowledge and srch cxtre va
CANT methods of production as is the
case in the production OF milk,
cream, butter, or cheese.
With our peculiar advantages
such as climatic conditions insuring
long seasons for crop growing and
eliminating the necessity for expen-
sive housing of cattle, the State OF
South Carolina should figure largely
as an exporter of dairy products in
stead of relying on other States to
supply considerable portion Of our
needs in this respect.
It is not for moment assumed
that every farmer could proftably
engage in the dairy business, but it
is certain that there is room for many
more and that many Of those already
engaged in 1t could add materially
to their profits by better under
standing of the underlying principles.
The first important question to be de-
cided in starting a dairy is that OF
choosing the kind of cows to be kept.
Without entering here into dis
cussion as to the relative merits OF
certain dairy breeds it is sufficient
to say that there are certain charsc-
teristics which distinguish the prof
table dairy cow from the profitable
beef producer; that these character
istics are especially found In such
breeds as Jerseys, Guernseys. Hol-
stems and Ayrshires and that the
strictly beef type of cattle are, as a
rule, improbable in the dairy
Not every man can proftably han
die the pure breeds at the start, but
good grades of the above are very
satisfactory. No matter how good a
start has been made in the selection
of the COW there still remains the
important question of the proper
handling and feeding. 1t is a mat
ter of common observation that
during the season when the pastures
are providing an abundant supply OF
feed, succulent and nutritious, it is
an easy matter to keep up the milk
flow; hence we cannot do better than
to substitute, as far as possible, these
natural conditions at other seasons OF
the year.
This means that during the winter
it is necessary to supply some feed
that is succulent or juicy; this again
means ensilage, and right here Is a
good place to say that for herds OF

A Neck.Wear Shower.

A fall bride says the prettiest show
err the girls of her home town gave
her was 3 ''neck-wear" downpour. The
lovely part was that each girl made
with her own fair fingers the dainty
creation for the bride who had grown
up among them and was so soon to go
far away across the sea. No one
can have too many stocks and collars,
and there was every variety imagin-
able, some being of Irish crotchet. The
table center piece was composed of
the white gilly flower, often called
Stocks" and the place cards were

upon the Bank of Matrimony and
signed by her majesty, the American

Novel Cotton Wedding.

This affair was celebrated way down
in old Kentucky, and was such de-
lightful affair that am sure our read
ers in all parts Of the country will be
able to adapt ideas from it to suit
their own needs and conditions. The
invitations said please come in cot
ton frock." This conveyed the idea
that it was to be an informal affair.
The spacious porches and grounds
were lighted with many lanterns, and
dotted over the lawn were great white
cotton umbrellas, such as are used for
shade on wagons. They were on long
stakes driven into the ground, and had
a Japanese lantern lighted and sus-
pended from each rib; rugs and chairs
were underneath.
These trysting places were much
sought in the intervals between
dances. There was a large platform
erected with negro players, just like
the plantation dances before the war
Before the dancing the hostess pro
duced bandana handkerchief-aprons to
which the men sewed the strings;
then a wee colored china doll was
given each girl, with bits OF channels
skin from which she was to make a
pen wiper for her partner.
The refreshments were typically
southern: Individual chicken pies,
hot corn mullins, tiny stuffed peppers,

GREAT BRITAIN WINS HER
CASE AT THE HAGUE
Decision is That Newfoundland Has
Right to Make Rules for
the Fisheries

The Hague.-The International ar
bitration tribunal handed down its
decision In the fisheries dispute be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain While the American gov
eminent IS sustained on the greater
number of points the important Dues
ton, regarding the three-mile limit,
has been decided in favor of Great
Britain. 1t has always been held by
Englishmen that this was the most
important of all the points submitted.
The reading of the decision occu-
pied more than two hours. In addi-
ton to deciding the points submitted
to the court the arbitrators recon-
mended the appointment of mixed
commissions for the Canadian and
United States fisheries, whose duty it
shall be to settle future differences
arising from colonial legislation.
The points which the United States
wins are Nos. 2, 8, a, and 7 out Of
total of seven points Points and 5
were decided in favor of Great Bri-
tain. 1t was the fifth point which had
to do with the three-mile limit ques-
ton. 1t was put in the form of
question: anu F6du. FROM where
must be measured the three marine
miles of any of the coasts, bays,
creeks or harbors referred to in arti-
Gle I. of the BritishAmerican treaty
of 1882"
1t has been the contention of the
United States fishermen that the
three-mile limit should be measured
from any point of the Canadian or
Newfoundland shore, and that there
fore they had the right to fish in the
middle Of any bay or estuary having
g radius of more than three miles.
The British contention was that the
limit should be measured from an i'm
aginary line connecting the head
lands.
While the first question is decided
in favor Of Great Britain, the points
of equity raised by America will be
examined by committee of experts.

tory for Great Britain on perhaps two
most important points, a consolatory
triumph for the United States in the
other five points, with a prospect OF
another arbitration later at the in

Hague tribunal in the Newfoundland
fisheries case is viewed here.

Two of her crew were drowned in eff

These lives were saved owing to
the heroism of Stephen Sczepanek,
