I'VE STOCK NOTES.

Never let a hog wallow in a mud
hole.
1t is of utmost Importance that sows
be kept dry and warm.
A good three-year well-bred colt is
worth from $3.50 to $500. Does he pay
his keep?
Every calf should absorb sunshine
for at least two or three hours every
pleasant day.
The small farm is the ideal place
TOT the production of the draft horse.
Europe has proven this for centuries.
Colts will cause much less trouble
II their shoulders and the harness are
always kept clean and irritation pre-
vented.
Good care does not mean pamper-
Ing. A pampered colt is as worthless
as a starved one. There is a happy
medium.
There is little profit in feeding scrub
cattle for beef, and less in raising
razor-back hogs that require two years
to make pork.
Sheep and lambs that are seriously
infected with internal parasites are
almost impossible to fatten, and hence
are unsuitable for feeders.
Hog prices have improved, and from
the VARIOUS distributing points report
comes that porkers Of a better quality
are arriving. This no doubt is due to
the larger iced grain supply.
In the face OF the fact that our
livestock and especially our beef cat
tie are so high, we find English buyers
In the yards at all times ready and
eager to buy for the London market.
Brood sows should raise two filters
a year. The first litter should be far
rowed near January / and the second
In May. The pigs should be pastured
all summer. given d short fattening
period and be sold in October.

trough to be 21a inches thick at the
top edge all around same.
After the half circles are nailed In
position cut some inch square strips
just six feet five inches long, nail
these inside the half circles with the
edges exactly ever with edge of half
circles. Now tack tin strips to these
to bend them owe to make a half
round surface by having five strips to
hold the tins. They will hold them
perfectly in position and the tin will
mold the inside of the trough much
smoother than if wood we're used.
If it is not possible to use the tin to
cover the half circular part of this
mold cut your half circles Just one
inch smaller. This requires setting
compass at 5h inches. Nail in posi-
ton as formerly, then cut wood strips
OF one inch square and six feet seven
inches long and nail to the outside of
the half circles, which shows in illus
tration, Fig. 2.
In molding the trough mix four parts
of clean, sharp sand with one part of
Portland cement. mix thoroughly while
dry and then wei this thoroughly and
lamp into the mold for trough. Throw
in part of the mortar to fill same.
then lamp 1t down and wet again. Fill
up the rest and level off the top OF
mold with a stick, resting on both
side pieces of same.

his VISIT MOST OPPORTUNE
Another Days Delay and the Result
Would Have Been Unfortunate
For the Physician.

A lady was very solicitous about her
health. Every trife made her uneasy,
and the doctor was called imme-
diately.
The doctor was a skillful man, and
consequently had a large practice. 1t
was very disagreeable to him to be so
often called away from his other cases
for nothing, and he resolved to take an
opportunity of letting the lady see
this. One day the lady observed a red
spot on her hand, and al once sent
for the doctor. He came, looked at
her hand, and said:
You did well to send for me early"
The lady looked alarmed and asked:
rs it dangerous, them"
Certainly not" replied the doctor.
Tomorrow the spot would have dis
appeared, and l should have lost my
fee for this visit"

This will allow a four-inch curbing
around the floor which will be Just
two inches deep.
The inside is held in place by two
strips nailed across the whole form,
with the inside just four inches in

space of thattsize around the whole

For the trough take two ten-inch
boards seven feet long and join to-

are for the bottom of the mold. Take
two boards nine inches wide and nail

mold: across the ends nail boards 10

WEAVING Colts.

Colts should be weaned when be-
tween three and five months old.
Should the colt lack exercise, there is
great danger of feeding too much, but
II he is getting ak the exercise he
will take, it is next to impossible to
overfeed him. II is best not to feed
any more oats than what he can relish
and eat readily and greedily, but just
sufficient to keep him smooth.

IT IS UP TO CITY COUNCIL.

# NeWberry wants to forge ahead
and be city, the incoming city coun-
oil should refuse to allow the public
square in front of the old court house
to be made a wagon yard and a 'bone
yard" and water and
everything else, as it was used for be-
fore THE last council went in.
We can see no sense in the argu-
ment that it Will help town to block
it's principal streets with wagons. 1t
is demagogy of the purest and simplest
and most puerile kind to try to align
town and country against each other
On this proposition, because in
matter of this kind-and really in all
matters-What benefits the town bene-
fits the country.
We hope the incoming city council
will have some backbone.
Backbone is great quality.
In fact, men can't get along with
out backbone.
It may take some backbone TO
stand up against the pressure which
will be brought to bear cu this public
square measure.
We shall await the outcome.
We believe that every member of
city council who will be sworn in on
December 20 believes that it will be
for the best interests of the city and
Of the county to keep wagons and
drays off the public square, and to let
NeWberry keep, in some measure, with
The march Of progress.
VIII they have the backbone to
say so and 10 vote SO!
, We believe they will.
Let's see.
We have no doubt that Mayor Lang
ford will have public meetings of city
council In fact, Mayor Langford dur
ing his term If Office when he was
mayor always eold the reporters they
were welcome. and always showed
them every consideration.
Now for the town and county, with
out regard to any special interests!
Are the farmers Of Newberry coun-
ty so fond of making slaves Of them
selves that they want to bring the
product of their honest toll, which
will bring market value in any mart
of the world, where it will best suit
soma persons to buy, because, for
sooth, they do not care to walk a hun
dred yards to buy it?
We do not believe the farmers of
Newbarry county yet regard them
selves as slaves.

Diversified farming has received an
impetus which can not be counter
acted. When the farmers Of the South
grow corn as they ought to grow it,
they will begin to realize that it pays
to grow other crops-that there is
money in wheat and alfalfa and 9TH
er things, and that there is no longer
any need to be dependent upon the
speculative price of cotton for live
lihood.
The farmers of the South have been
too long dependent upon the price of
their staple product set by specula-
tors in the North, without regard to
the law of supply and demand not
really set by the Northern specula-
tors or their exchanges, but by the
whims of chance. With the worlds
supply in their hands the Southern
farmers have suffered this condition
to exist and it still exists. It has been
their own fault They could have con-
trolled the supply years ago, and the
demand would have followed. They
are now beginning to realize that they
have the situation in their hands.
They are beginning to realize that
they can make themselves Independent
by diversified farming, for by raising
other crops they will put themselves
in position to demand a fair price for
their cotton, which nature "cornered, >
for Them, to use the market phrase, if
they will only get together. The world
must have cotton, and it can get only
a little of it's supply without the South
Why the Southern farmers have not
got together before and demanded a
fair price for the product which the
maTts of the world must have, and
for which they Will pay price in ac-
cordance with the law Of supply and
demand, is one Of those things mex
plicab1e.
The South is waking up.
We are gratifed that at the head Of
this first corn exposition, which must
prove a great factor in this awaken
ing, there is a NewberTy man.

OUR ADVERTISERS.

The Herald and News today pub
fishes a Christmas edition in which
are told the opportunities which the
Newberry merchants present to
Christmas buyers.
This edition is twenty pages. In
round numbers seventy-six columns
are advertising matter, and forty-four
columns are pure reading matter.
We want to direct attention to the
attractive advertisements in our col
umns which appear today, and to the
bargains which are offered. We have
never known of better values than are
advertised by the Newberrv merchants
in The Herald and News today. 1t
will pay every reader Of the paper to
read the advertisements closely before
making Christmas purchases.
We also want to call attention to
the amount and the variety Of the
reading matter in this issue.
The Herald and News is the medium
through which the merchants Of New
berry reach the people, and the peo-
ple will bear in mind the values pre-
sented in this issue today.

THE GOVERNMENT ROAD.

In another column of The Herald
and News today attention is called to
the good work in keeping up the mile
of government road between NeWbe1ry
and Prosperity, which has been done
by pubic-spirited citizens living along
the route.
We went over the road shortly after
the work was done and it was we'll
done. The road as built is permanent
if there is little work done now and
then, such as cleaning out bitches and
dragging the surface of the road. With
the machinery of road working as now
organized in Newberry county-a lit
tie patch work being done here and
there, and the chaingang being mov-
Led from the east to the west and from
the north to the south, without any
thing permanent having been accom-
plished-the best mile of road in New
berry county is liable to go to pieces,
if left to the authorities that be, be-
cause all things are subject to wear and
tear. Therefore, the cooperation not
to say the sole efforts s-of public-spir-
tied citizens living along the route, is
peculiarly gratifying.
This mile of road, under government
supervision, was built art very small
comparative cost. We venture the as
sertain that many miles of road in
NeWberry county which are in terrible
condition have had much more money
expended upon them.
The moral is plain. Permanent road
work is what is needed, and is what
the people are going to demand as
soon as they awake to conditions as
they are.
It seems to be a hard matter to got
people to realize that conducting the
affairs of a county, with thousands and
thousands Of dollars involved, and
with the interests of thousands of peo-
pie at stake, is as much a business as
the running of a private enterprise.
After all, however, the matter is up
to the people. 1t would seem from
events not long past that they would
rather pay huge mud tax than a
small tax on bonds for perman emit roa:
improl emert- The day is rot far dis

tions which confront hem and when

The slogan for the county:
Grow corn;
"Grow other crops than cotton;

Control the supply Of cotton;
