Economic Beef Production.

In Bulletin No. 1872 II. r. Smith,
OF the Nebraska station devotes %
pages to tabular exhibits Of the rec
ords made and an analysis of them
in comparative tests Of six combina-
tioDs Of feeding stuffs for steer
calves nine months old at the begin
ming of the tests for the first period
which covered the time from March
% to August Is, 143 days.
There were 48 calves, half OF them
grade Shorthorns and the rest grade
Herefords, Angus, Red Polls, Jer-
seys, Guernseys and Holsteins These
were so distributed among six lots of
eight calves each as TO make all lots
Of equal merit. In order to make
study Of different breeds and types
possible, the feed Of each individual
was weighed and the waste feed
weighed back and records were made
Of all. During the first six months
Of their lives all had been fed on
skim milk, grain and hay.
The ration Of Lot 1 was corn, al
falfa and shredded corn fodder; of
Lot corn, alfalfa and corn silage;
of Lot 8 corn, wheat bran and silage
Of Lot 4 corn, linseed meal and 81
lage; of Lot corn, cold-pressed cot
ton seed cake and silage; of lot
same as Lot 5 excepting they were
given all the grain they would eat,
while Lot 5 had only two-thirds as
much grain as these.
These feed stuffs were all Of fair
quality and worth the following mar
ket values: Corn, Sc cents per bu-
shel; bran, $22 per ton; linseed
meal, $36 per ton; cold pressed cot
ton seed cake, $25 per ton; alfalfa
$40 per ton; corn fodder, SO per
ton; silage, SO per ton.
This first period of 143 days had
for its chief purpose a test Of the
value Of corn silage as a substitute
for green pasturage in summer; be-
cause summer drouths often destroy
Of greatly deteriorate the pasturage

THE UNSUCCESSFUL FARMER.
The Accumulation Of Money Does
Not Spell Success.
(Anderson Intelligep ,er.)

Col. ]. G. Stribling, Of Pendleton,
told US about a money making far
mer he knew. This farmer had accu-
mulated more than 100000, and he
had made it all far'ning and saving
what he made from the farm.
The man had not done better far
ming than other farmers about him,
but he had saved everything he had
made. "a good friend to me and
Others" Col. Stribling described
him, "but an enemy to himself and
| lfamily''-not that he was a bad man,
but merely what we sometimes call
a "close" man. His children re-
ceived but little education and saw
but little of the world. Other farm
ers in the neighborhood contributed
to the building of churches and
school houses; this man loaned them
the money to contribute. Others
spent money for new seeds, improved
implements and better stock; this
man did not-he saved his money,
and when misfortune came to others
he still gathered in the interest on
his loans and kept that, too.
A money-making farmer he was,
but he was not a successful farmer,
for the simple reason that he neg
lected the essentials OF life in his
eagerness to gather more money.
Such farmers would never build up
a community or promote the pros
perity and welfare Of a State.
Col. Stribling in his letter we'll de-
scribed the kind Of men who must
be depended on to do these things
men who improve their land and
premises, breed and use good stock,
look out for improved seeds, imple-
sons and daughters to college or
training schools; who farm with
their own money, and who believe
in plain living and high thinking.
A man can be successful and can
make great deal of money without
being successful. So at this begin
ming Of new year we beg to remind
every reader that, desirable as it is
that he make money out of his farm
ing the coming year, it Is even more
desirable that he devote the money
he makes to such use as will benefit
his family and his community, and
that he keep always in mind the fact
that money is a good thing only so
far as it is used for good purposes.

FAVOR COMPULSORY EDUCATION
The High School Teachers of State
Put Selves on Record.

Columbia, Jan. 20.-It is easily
within the bounds Of the believable
to say that no more intelligent, earn

in this State than the 1856 high school

sion in Columbia from Friday morn
ing until Saturday afternoon Every
man and woman in attendance SEEM
ed to throw into every topic discussed
the energy, the directness, the dis
cernment which make up any really
profitable discussion. at is hard to
see how it would be possible for any
teacher to sit through the four ses-
sions Of discussions without carrying
back to his work new vision, a
wider horizon, new inspiration and
greater confidence in his mission"
said w. H. Hand, State High School
Inspector.
or the four sessions, the last was
easily the most enthusiastic, and per-
haps the most significant, and the
last hour was by far the most intense

Just at the close Of the session the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted by a standing vote:
Resolved, That the conference Of
high school teachers cordially in
dorses the principle of compulsory
school attendance, and that the mem
bers pledge their hearty support to
any measure which may be passed by
the Legislature Il South Carolina
having for its .enu fair chance for
all the children OF South Carolina"

Auto Bandits Make Rich Haul.

New York, Jan. 23.-1he police
are aroused again by so-called taxi
cab rObberies. A particularly bold
one was carried out last night when
six highwaymen leaped from a taxi
cab that had drawn up in front Of a
wholesale provision house on Thirty
sixth street and, with revolvers in
hand, held up four men employed in
the place.
While some Of the men covered the
employees with their pistols one Of
the bandits climbed a wire fence and
got to the cashiers cage. He emp
tied the drawer Of $500 in cash. Then
he and his fellows escaped in the cab.
They overlooked 5000 which was

THE SOURCES OF NITROGEN.
Farmers Are Advised to Use Sources
known to Give Results.

When mixing fertilizers it is well
to use two sources Of nitrogen, be-
cause of the difference in rapidity Of
coming into availability Of the
sources. We prefer to get about one
third Of the nitrogen from an inor-
ganic source and two-thirdS from an
organic source. 1t all of the nitro
gen for cotton or corn is to be de-
rived from one source, we would ad-
wise the use of an organic source.
Nitrate of soda is Immediately
available to the plant and sulphate
OF ammonia and dried blood are very
rapidly available, dried blood being
probably the most rapidly available
use Of about one hundred pounds per
ton Of one of the above named
sources, and the balance of the nitro
gen to come from cotton seed meal,
high grade fish, or high grade tank
age. We advise the use of the high
grade fish and tankage because the
low grade fish and tankage usually
has much fins or bone present, as the
case may be, and the nitrogen con-
tent is lowered, and, as these mate
rials do not decay as rapidly as the
flesh, the nitrogen present is less
available, the less it Is derived from
flesh. Bone, especially raw bone, on
account Of it's lasting qualities is
much priced as an orchard fertilizer.
Cotton seed meal is a good drier and
therefore good source Of organic
nitrogen.
In home-mixing we advise he far
mers to use only the sources of nj
trogen that are known to give good
results, such as have been already
mentioned. Amy or all Of the above
can be mixed with acid phosphate
and potash salts, there being no in
compatibilties.

county president; when his time ex-
pired as president, he held the office
Of lecturer and organizer. which po-
sition he held until his death. His
death will be keenly felt, not only by
the union, but in the community and
church Of which he mad been so long
member. He was a kind and de-

a wife and several children to mourn
their irreparable loss. We as a

A Test of Milking Machines.

A Test of Milking Machines.
The growing scarcity Of farm labor
and the increasing rate Of wages nee
essary to command such labor Is
causing farmers everywhere to turn
to labor-saving machinery for all
work possible to be done more rap
idly and economically by machines
than by hand.
Moved by these considerations, the
Ithaca, n. Y, station has been con-
ducting comparative tests Of machine
milking and hand milking during the
last four years. The records Of these
tests and the conclusions arrived at
are set forth in Bulletin No. 353.
The first machine tried proved to
be utterly worthless and was soon
discarded. The second one tried
proved so satisfactory that no change
in make Of machine has been made
since it's adoption.
Ali milking machines are Of one Of
two types: CD Those which initiate
the squeezing action of the human
hand, and (2) those which initiate
the vacuum or suction action of the
calf. The machine used in these tests
is of the latter type.
The first successful milking ma
chine originated in Australia in 1902.
Canadian tests made in 1895 and in
1 tn Of hH
chimes tested, but the first satisfac-
tory machine tried on this continent
was used in that country in 1906.
AS in the making Of automobiles,
the improvement in milking machines
has been so rapid that the milking
machine of 1912 bears little resem-
blance to that of five years ago, but
in order that there might be no vari-
alton Of conditions of these tests
from year to year, no change Of ma
chimes has been made.
On the whole, these tests have re-
suited quite favorably to the ma
chine. When provided with properly
fitted teat cups, the machine milks a
cow somewhat cleaner than hand
milking, and the difference in yield
of milk is less than l per cent. In
fact, two cows that could not be
milked by hand, were satisfactorily
milked by machine.
Each machine MIXED two COWS at
once, and one man operating two
machines can milk fifty cows. By
using gasoline engine power, several
machines may be attended by one
man.
The most serious problem en-
countered in the use of milking ma
chimes is the matter Of cleaning
them and keeping them clean. 1t has
been found that If all rubber parts
are rinsed out thoroughly after use
and are then kept immersed in wa
ter containing 10 per cent salt till
used again, the germ content is re-
duced eight-ninths.
The air filters found on some ma
chimes also reduce the germ content
Of milk to a marked degree.
The milking machine is both a la
Dor saver and time saver, and it
undoubtedly has come to stay.

The trouble which was settled yester-
day began when DIR. Wayson, in a
communication to the board of super

not the territory had borne the hos
pital expenses of "E. K" Wayson
maintained that inasmuch as the girl
vas territorial charge her expenses
should be paid by the territory. It
later developed that the county had
footed the bill, but only until such
time as a voucher, made out by Miss
Sterritt, could be paid by the terri
torial auditor.
