I will not use hard words, my boys,
for I am old and gray,
And I've learned it is an easy thing
for the best to go astray;
Some wrong there was on either part
I do not doubt at all;
There are two sides to a quarrel-be
it great, or be 1t small.
But yet, when South Carolina laid
her sacrilegfous hand
On the altar of a Union that belonged
to all the land;
When she tore our glorious banner
down, and trailed it in the dust,
Every patriots heart and conscience
bade him guard the sacred trust.

FEEDING COWS TO INCREASE MILK

FEEDING COWS TO INCREASE MILK
FLOW.
II. T. G., Logansville. Ca, writes;
Please tell me what to do for my COW to
increase the flow of milk. she has been
splendid mixer until this calf which
is three weeks old. She is thin, but has
a very craving appetite. l feed her well
on cottonseed meal and hulls and she
is on a very good Bermuda pasture She
has few ticks on her. l also feed her
az extra feed each day Of shucks or corn
fodder.
Cows vary so much in individuality
that 1t is difficult to say just what one
may do sometimes to increase or main
tain the flow of milk Some cows nat
urally milk more freely than others and
maintain large flow for longer period
of time. II you happen to have an ami
NAL that dries up rather quickly after
calling, feed will hardly maintain the
flow of milk. However,. wou should try
varying her ration and supplying her
with some green feed Bermuda pastures
In this section of the state are not sup
plying much grazing as yet. A little
rye or any other winter growing crop
win be very acceptable. to her after win
tering on dry feed and will give a varie-
ty to the ration which is calculated to
i increase the flow OF milk more imam any
thing else. We judge from what you say
that your COW would probably be bene-
fitted by keeping some rock salt before
her so she may secure some saline mat
ter at will. You will probably find II
beneficial to change the ration of meal
and hulls for a few days, putting in
equal quantities of meal and bran and
feeding some hay or any other forage
available in the place of the hulls. Then
you may go back to the usual ration.
Where only a few ticks are observed
they may be, picked off by hand and
destroyed. If there are many of them,
you may secure a small quantity of
crude cottonseed oil or Beaumont oil
and brush or swab the COW off, cover
ing the legs and lower part of the body
with special care. This makes ii diff
cult for the ticks to attach themselves
to the animal. The ticks will reduce the
vitality of the COW and will affect her
milk flow materially, and it does not
take a whole lot of them to injure the
cows productiveness. You can keep them
off with comparatively little trouble by
following the methods suggested, and it
win pay you to do so.

best plan is to build shed and protect
Ii from the north and west winds as
much as possible. but leave il open on
the south side. which might be enclosed
with a wire fence. Feeding troughs OF
convenient size and character should be
placed in this shed, and enough litter
kept therein to absorb The manure. The
cattle may be. fed on cotton seed meal
and corn stover with considerable az
vantage. The corn slower should be
shredded and If moistened with salt wa
ter will be readily consumed; the parr
that is not consumed to be thrown out
of the troughs and added to the manure
pile. Rock salt should be kept before
the animals, and is some grazing can
be furnished on an adjacent piece OF
land from fall sown rye or other winter
grown crop, it will help to keep the
animals appetite on edge and cause
them to thrive and grow better than
where they are confined to corn slower
and cotton seed meal alone. You will
secure as good results from feeding the
slower as the bulls, and since you pro-
duce the slower it is better to utilize it.
ARTIFICIAL CULTURE FOR INOCU-
LATINO SOILS.
c. G. N. Commerce, Ga, writes: / see
several things advertised to inoculate
the soil with nitrogen gathering bacteria.
What is your opinion of them and do
you think it would pay to purchase any
of them?
There is much diversity of opinion as
TO the value of Farmogerm, Nitragen.
and various other materials now on the
market for the purpose of inoculating
the soil with certain desirable bacteria
which have been shown TO be vitality
related to the proper growth and de-
velopment of given crop. Probably the
best results from artificial soil inocu-
Iation have been obtained with alfalfa
and some of the clovers In other
words. with the small seeded crops,
which have not been widely and extern
sively cultivated in some sections, and
where evidently the bacteria which en-
able them to gather nitrogen out of the
air have not developed in the soil in
proper proportion to meet the needs of
the crop. The larger seeded leguminous
crops, such as peas, beans. etc, do not
seem to need incubation as a rule. At
least the results obtained UP to this time
are somewhat contrary, and in our own
experience we have been able to grow
ma gnificent crops of velvet beans, cow
pas. soy beans, the vetch and garden
peas and beans without the use of arti-
ficial incubation. The reason probably
that larger seeded crops do not need to
be artihcially inoculated is explained by
their size and there Is so much dirt ad-
herring to them that they probably carry

THE NEW KNIGHT
MOTOR ADOPTED
BY COLUMBIA
Tie New Gas Engine Combines
Power, Flexibility
\ and Silence.

The Knight motor used in the new
h.gh-powered Columbia car for 1912
marks the most important change IN
the gas engine since the development
of the motor car. 1t combines TIRES
cardinal virtues-"power," "~f1exibility'
and Silence" and withal 1t is simple.
About one-third of the parts common
to gas engines have been eliminated,
veal earliest and most and those which
la wearing combine to make noise.
The knight motor is of the four
cycle type, and it employs sliding
sleeve valves. It has no tappet or
mushroom valves, no cam shaft, nor
cam rollers, and no driving enmeshed
gears in front. It's timing is positive
and mechanical and cannot be de-
ranged by ignorance, neglect or wea~.
The cylinders are cast in pairs and
the heads are bolted on. They can be
removed easily for cleaning. Inside the
cylinder wall is an endless tube which
is moved up and down. This fits over
anoth r tube sleeve, also reciprocating.
Each of these sleeves has slots, ano
when these slots open on another
IN entrance hole into the compression
chamber for the new gas to pass in is
provided. Immediately-the charge is
sacked in, one sleeve rises and the
other falls so that the holes are no
longer coincident or in register, and
the gas charge then may be compress
ed and fired.
Holes on the opposite side n come
into register so that the exploded gas
may be exhausted from the cylinder on
the s~cavenging stroke of the motor. The
working conditions of the sliding sleeve
valves are always the same, whether

at low or high speeds, which means
continued full power. The carbureter
action is also simplified. and the car
bureter stays in adjustment because
the valve timing does. No leakages o.
changed conditions which would re-
quire adjustment of carbureter are
possible.
The fact that these sleeve openings
in "T-head" motors and nearly three
times the size of the gas passages In
IL" motors, with positive timing at all
motor speeds, explains in measure the
great power this Columbia Knight
motor realizes. 1t is also possible to
explain high power from the fact that
the compression chamber is of the
least cubical contents.
The measure of quiet comes from the
fact that there are no tappet noises
or the 'click' of falling valves on their
seats, and no gear noise incident to
the push and pull exerted against the
whole train of front engine gears.
The ability to rapidly accelerate, or
f1exibility, comes from the great power
Of which the motor is capable. The
Columbia Knight motor is representa-
tive of the highest development of this
type motor and bears the approval of
G. Y. Knight, the inventor.
In building, the Knight motor de-
mands the most accurate machine
work, which in the Columbia Knight
is generally commended.
The material Is. of course, the finest
obtainable. While wholly made in the
