WHEN THE LEAVES TURN RED,

The autumn sun had set ,in crimson
clouds,
The mountain peaks with gold were
crowned,
Till creeping shadows yelled the hills
between,
And dreary darkness coldly frowned,
The screech owls quivering call
trembled on the air,
In notes so weird, so cold and keen,
Til from the east the soft moon
beams rose,
Mantling the world with their silvery
sheen,
The brow of night the harvest moon
was crowning,''
A touch came with chilling breeze,
hindling into fame bright signals
of warning,
In the shoumac, and the maple trees,
Beware! Beware! The chief of the
cold is coming!'
He is leading an army of invading
snow,
Crystal quivers are full of arrows of
ice,
They cut and flash like steel as they
go,
The birds take note of these burning
leaves of red,
They know their meaning and cease
to sing,
And soon they are off to the land OF
the South,
Away from the frost Of The Cold
North King"

visable to start feeding more than
one half pound of cotton seed meal
per hundred pounds live weight, and
gradually increase one pound of meal
every three or four weeks when cattle
are to be finished in 100 days. 1t is
advisable to keep plenty of salt and
water before the cattle at all times
and to feed only high grade fresh
bright meal.
The farmers who are feeding corn
silage and stover instead of hulls are
getting very satisfactory results and
many have arranged to build silos
next year. At present prices it costs
practically as much money for hulls
as for meal and while cotton seed
meal is as valuable for fertilizer as
for feed, it is also as valuable for a
fertilizer after being fed as before.
So that the farmer whose buys meal
for fertilizer is getting his feed for
nothing, while hulls are of very little
value for either feed or fertilizer.
Farmers are beginning to realize
more fully the advantages of growing
the roughage at home and buying
only the concentrated meal, which in
many cases will mean the difference
between profit and loss in feeding
beel cattle. We are endeavoring to
obtain a correct list of every farmer
in the State who is feeding beef cat
tie in order to assist them in market
ing these cattle TO the best advant-
age.
Clemson College has employed
men who are especially trained in
every line of animal husbandry work
whose services are available to the
farmers of the State at all times free
of charge, merely for the asking.

instance, the story is told that a
Bladenburg merchant was doing in
his shop, one day when little boy
came in with pitcher and asked for
a quart of milk. The merchant
yawned, stretched himself, half open
ed his eyes, and then, in the most
injured tone, said:
"Gee whiz! Amt theer nobody that
sells milk in this town but me?"

Victoria, B. c., aug. 23.-The
taboo on dancing, theaters and
gaudy clothes which the Methodist
church has held in force for years,
may be removed in the future.
Should the Methodist conference
in session here, accept the report of
the special committee appointed to
revise the discipline of the church,
it is certain that the members will
be allowed liberties hitherto un-
dreamed of.
In the discipline at present the
general rules are to be understood
as forbidding neglect of duties, i'm
prudent conduct, indulging in sinful
tempers, or words, dancing, playing
cards, attending theaters, wearing
gaudy and costly attire.
The committees report points out
that these rules do not comprise a
code to be enforced, but merely epi-
tomize the godly life which Method
lists ought to lead. 1t recommends
such changes in the clause as would
allow more independence of action
to the members of the church.
The report will come up for final
discussion and action today.

AS running mate of Taft in the

of the administration, it is believed
Sherman can hardly oppose openly
the wishes of the president and with
the Griscom letter, it is said Taft
deplores the controversy, and the
telegram of the president to Sher-
man suggesting a conference with
Roosevelt, it is believed Sherman
will be willing to make some move
to restore the harmony which Taft
hoped might be attained.
Before starting West Roosevelt

Loeb and Longworth. The colonel
publicly declared his intention of
lighting at the Saratoga convention.

stopping place in his long speaking

mittee, and the man who presented
RooseVelt's name to the state COM
mittee as temporary chairman of

The fire on Upper Rogue river is

they will assist the 200 men In that
section in fighting the fire in Ash

Reighborhood on Anderson Creek is
under control and It is believed a

of Ashland burning has passed.
