HOW TO KEEP BUNNY
FROM Eating TREES
Hint For Those Now Putting
Out PGCaRS and Peaches

A Smithville subscriber of The
Times-Recorder, having read of the
trouble that has been experienced by
those planting out pecan and peach
saplings, through the destructive ten
denotes of the rabbits, advises that
bunny can be checked in his work by
the very simple expedient of greas-
ing the young trees with hog chitter-
ling rease.
Il have tried this" he writes, and
found it very effective. The rabbits
will not touch the trees once they
have been treated in this way. | have
also tried it on cabbages, onions and
peas with good results. The grease
does not hurt the trees or plants, but
the rabbits dislike it so much they
will not touch anything on which it
is"
A simple hint, given for what it may
be worth to those troubled with the
rabbits depredations.

MUST REGISTER
BY APPEARING
PERSONALLY
VOTERS GIVEN due NOTICE
No Other Registration Rec
OgnizGd as Legal

Unless a Sumter county voter goes
in person to the office of the tax col
lector, takes the pen in hand and in
scribes his name in a book provided
for that especial purpose, he will not
be registered and, therefore, cannot
vote in the primary election for coun
ty officers on March 21st, or in any
other election this year Registration
is demanded under the state law, and
the only way in which one may quail
ify is to go in person and register.
Hundreds of voters, unfortunately.
do not understand this state law re-
garding registration and, in conse-
quence, many will be left off the reg
istration list through their own igno-
rance or negligence 1t will not be
the fault of the tax collector, or Of
any one but the voter himself.
Many think that the mere payment
of last years state and county taxes
entities them to vote in the primary
Such is not true, however. The taxes
must be paid all right but in addition
to that duty the voter must register
his name before he can vote. He must
do this in person, and do it now.
Only few days remain before the
closing of the registration books in
Collector Smalls Office. Register to
day.

BIDDIES persisted WHEN
INCUBATOR WAS BURNED

Forty broiled chickens were served
up yesterday morning at the residence
of Mr.. R. S. Broadhurst, but no one
seemed to care for the birds and they
were left untouched.
The wholesale broiling resulted
from the busy brooder, which in some
way caught fire and went up in smoke,
as did the forty fuzzy biddies in the
interior department of the wooden hen.
The loss of the brooder was $40, Ia
say nothing, of the incineration of the
forty chickens of aristocratic lin
cage.

EXCELLENT FEED
FOR ALL POULTRY
sprouted OATS Is One of Best
Things That Can Be Given
to Little Ones.

Oats is one of the best feeds one
can give chicks for growth, but 1t is
hard to get in suitable form for feed
ing to poultry. One Of the best meth
DDS is to sprout it. A pail of oats is
covered with water and allowed 70
soak about twelve hours. In winter
we use water which is heated and just
cool enough that you can bear your
hand in it, in summer, cold water
After soaking. the oats are poured
out into trays two feet wide and three
feet long and two inches deep. The
bottoms of these trays are made of
galvanized one-fourth inch mesh wire
screen. We start bucketful OF the
oats every day. piling the trays on top
OF each other until we have four or
five.
Meanwhile we must thoroughly stir
the oats in each tray every day and
wet with water. The oats will. no
doubt. heat some and this makes them
sprout fast, but IL they have ten
dency to get too hot. cold water could
be used to keep them cool. By the
fourth or fifth day the sprouts are
perhaps one-half to one inch long.
For summer feeding, when the stock
can get plenty of grass. they will eat
the oats readily at this stage and it
is as good a growing feed as can be
obtained. The sprouts are very good
for early chicks that can get no grass
For winter feeding to the poultry. 1t
is often advisable to let the oats grow
more and turn green. Then you VIII
have to let it grow few days longer
and II YOU can get a suitable rack to
hold the trays several inches apart II
v;ll be very convenient. BY starting
one trav each day and feeding the far
therest developed each day continu;
Gus supply may be had. This feed
has been advertised extensively as
secret and the books explaining this
method have sold extensively at from
81 TO SIS each.
In feeding for growth and early
developnnent remember that the best
feeds are cheapest. and that plenty
Of clean feed of such variety to pro-
suce a balanced ration and plenty of
ppre water will make you more profit
than II the birds are scantily fed and
allowed to stay in filthy quarters and
pestered by lice.

GREEN CORN FOR
FODDER AND SILO
Plant an Early Variety for Feed
inq to CoWS-Runout Sod
Ground.

For feeding green to cows during
the summer, plant an early variety OF
corn. Select rim-cut, sod-ground, or
ground from which a crop of crimson
clover or green rye has been cut of.
Pillow the ground. harrow and roll be-
fore the fresh plowed ground can dry
out Mark out the long way of field
and drill half bushel of corn and 400
pounds of a standard bone fertilizer
to the acre This is much the quickest
and most economical way. 1t saves
time and labor The corn is put in at
the right depth and without waste OF
seed. Four hundred pounds of a good
superphosphate to the acre. applied to
good sod land. will bring good crop
of forage If land is thin. spread
coat of manure and harrow it in. then
drill the corn in with the phosphate.
Run the drills feet apart. If the
field is weedy. plant in hills so the
crop can be cultivated both ways. AS
soon as the corn can be plainly seen.
start the sulky cultivator using the
steel chisel teeth. Early cultivation
kills weeds and starts vigorous
growth of the corn. Plant the variety
of corn that is best suited to your soil
and climate. Homegrown seed is
best and much the cheapest. The num-
her of acres to plant will depend upon
the capacity of silo, and the number
of stock to feed. One acre of good
land. given thorough culture, will yield
10 to IL tons of forage. For green
feed to supplement the pasture during
the latter part of summer and early
fall. one acre for Is head Of COWS
should be planted. Have one large
field and drill the corn the long way
OF field. Be sure to have the ground
finely pulverized and rolled; the field
can Their be quickly planted and early
cultivation given. Corn is the best
crop to grow for green feed for the
silo. or to cure for winter feed.

DEMAND HEAVY CUT
IN PULP W0OD RATE
Complaint Made to State Board
Against Present Charges.
MAY AFFECT PAPER PRICE
Organization OF Manufacturers Which
Secured 20 Per Gent Reduction
Four Years Ago Seek to Repeat
Performance.

Madison.-A demand for lowar
pulp rates in Wisconsin involving
every railroad over whose lines pulp
wood is shipped, is made by the Wis
consin Pulp and Paper Manufactur-
ers' association representing between
forty and fifty Wisconsin paper mills.
The rates demanded are sweeping,
and If granted by the Wisconsin rail-
road commission might lower the
price of print paper to consumers.
Four years ago this organization
brought a complaint before the COM
mission asking for lower rates. One
of the most bitterly fought cases that
has ever come before the commission
YVES witnessed, eliminating in re-
duction Of nearly 20 per cent in the
rates as they then stood The new
complaint asks for additional reduc-
lions of almost 20 per cent. II asks
that pulpwood be placed on the same
basis as saw logs In transit. Under
the transit and milling clause, the as
ISOLATION claims that where a railroad
compan& handles the product shipped
to the mill as we'll as after it's manu-
facture, a much lower rate should be
granted. The present tariff is ~
cents for the first ten miles. with a
slight increase for additional dis
tances.
The result OF the decision four
years ago affected not only tho rates
OF wisconsin, but produced a cor
respondingly lower rate for ship
ments from upper Minnesota and
Michigan 10 Wisconsin mills II is
estimated that If this complaint is
granted. thousands OF dollars will be
saved paper manufacturers operating
in upper Wisconsin.
