likewise the offspring Of the Japanese

however, the Japs have been in the
habit Of sending back to their own

the self-elected bidegrooms get their
parents back in the Flowery Kingdom
to pick out wives for them.
1.-THE matter Is finally arranged
through the Japanese consul, the man
in the case putting up money for the
passage Of his intended spouse. The
hour that she lands must also be the
wedding hour, for the authorities will
not allow the fair ones to remain IN
less claimed and formally mated &C
cording to some civil or religious cere-
mony that both parties consider bind

Every now and then a wireless
message comes to my plantation
which tells one Of my young japanese

Young fat cattle are now in great
iemand. The trouble with most far
ners who raise yearlings Is that they
10 not feed them the first year, only
et them run on pasture, and the first
winter carry them over on dry fodder
md hay. The fact ia, this Is the time
the calves should be fed all they WILL
eat.
The fact Is, from the time they are
weaned from milk they should be
taught to consume all they will eat,
he idea Of trying to get them along
IN as little as will support them re-
suits only in a stunted scrub. A calf
should be taught to eat grain before 1t
8 weared, and the ensuing summer
It should have a regular and full al
.owance Of grain, corn, oats. bran or
,ottonseed meal, SO as to develop the
whole frame, and at all times should
be what is called fat.
Most farmers would call this a waste,
Of feed. but a good trial would change
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1912-07-31

their minds. II is the best form or
utilizing feed. Then after pasturing
and feeding all summer the calves
should be put in a close feed lot and
fattened on clover or alfalfa hay, corn,
cottonseed meal and silage If one has
the silo. In this way a yearling can
be made to bring twice what 1t would
otherwise be worth.
This method is worked out by many
farmers In the Northwest, where the
summers are short and winters So
we're. In the Central West and Soutl,
where the climate is mild, the prob
lem should be easily solved. 1t Is
practicable, and the money and time
spent are we'll Invested. Instead OF
marketing thin yearlings, weighing 600
or 700 pounds, and bringing 3h cents,
they should be fitted to 1000 pounds
or more, and fetch six to seven cents.
The market for baby beef will never
be overdone. Young cattle always
bring good prices.

Search the Scriptures.

w. The householder, vs.. 51-53. In
the first Of these parallels we had the
Word as the seed of this new kingdom,
In this the eighth of the kingdom par
ables we revert as 1t were to the mat
ter of the Word. Jesus asks his
disciples If they understand the Word
he has spoken to them. Their re-
Spouse Is, Eyes, we do" Then Jesus
shows them what a burden Of respon-
sibility due to possession rests upon
them. Jesus refers to the Scribes
whose work under the Jewish econ
omy was to transcribe and to interpret
and tells the disciples that they In a
like manner are to interpret the king
dom to all mel. They are to bring
forth" hidden treasures. We must re-
member that Jesus taught In parallels
that hearing they might not hear"
etc., hence We are to search the
Scriptures and bring forth these hid
den treasures of truth as we go about
doing our part in the ushering OF the
kingdom.
There are two ways Of our entering
this kingdom, a right one and a wrong
one. We may think We have entered
by doing something, e. g., by our
works, only to find that when the con-
tents of the drag net are examined we
shall be cast forth. Or We may gain
the pearl of great price, even Christ
himself by faith, and find In him all
that fulness for which men are starv-
Ing. Find in him the sum Of all val
ues. When we enter this kingdom
through him who Is the Way, the
Truth, and the Life, We will discover
it was a profitable bargain to part
with all, for what will q man give IN
exchange for his soul?

MEDALS TO VETERANS.
Spanish-American War Soldiers to Re.
ceive Trophies for Service.

Veterans of the Spanish-American
war are to receive service medals from
the United States government and
which will be made from the brass
cannon carried by the Inflated battle
ship Maine. Orders soon to be pro-
mulgated by the national officers of
the United Spanish war veterans will
bring the information as to now these
medals are to be obtained.
The medals are to be works Of art,
and will be fashioned in manner
after the service medals the govern
ment presented to soldiers in certain
campaigns following the declaration of
war with Spain in 1895. The medals
to be made from cannon aboard the
battleship Maine will be in recogni
ton of service rendered during the
war with Spain. Souvenir hunters
offered fabulous prices for relics
aboard the i'll fated battleship, but all
offers were refused by the government
and it was then decided to use the
brass cannon for the manufacture Of
service medals.

GET MONEY FOR SALARIES.
First National Bank Advances Money
to Paw Salaries of School Teachers.

Today was pay day for the teachers
Cf the city schools and notWithstand
inc the fact that the treasury of the
board was all but depleted the teachers
got their orders paid as usual. In
order to meet the demands for the
salaries, the First National Bank ad
vanced money to the board with the
understanding that it is to be paid
back out of the first Of the school
money turned over by the city treasur
en- Fhe amount advanced was in the
neighborhood of $1,000. No formal
loan was made to the board, but there
was an understanding that the money
would be needed for only few weeks
at the longest. Thus far money has
not been received by the city treasurer
to pay the demands of the board the
total amount of the city tax collected
being only little over 100000. Be
fore the school money can be turned

weeks in which to pay the taxes it is
expected that there will be lot of
money rolling into the treasury with

MANY CATTLE DYING.
Cattle in Northern Illinois Near State
Line Stricken With Disease.

Mystery surrounds a plague among
cattle III the farming sections along
the Illinois state line, many fine COWS
falling victims to disease which is
new to the farmers, who have seen
nearly all varieties of disease in cows.
As near as can be learned, the cattle
die suddenly. One farmer, in speaking
about the disease, stated that his prize
cow, which had been in the best of
health apparently one night, had been
found dead the next morning, and in
vestigation disclosed the fact that
many herds about the county had lost
one or two cows by the same disease.
The only visible feature of the plague
lis a slight frothing at the mouth, which
is not noticed until the COW is found
dead. There is no falling off in the
feed, no decrease in the supply of
milk, in fact no symptoms which would
cause suspicion of illness.
There is no sign of struggle or spasm.
The cows have all been found lying ap,
lparently asleep, their eyes closed, and
evidently died suddenly and without
pain. No reason for the disease has
been found, although it is believed that
some poisonous weed in the feed caused
the death.-In case of weed poisoning,
however, it is said, there is usually
signs of a struggle the animal going
into commissions before death.
