CATTLE FEEDING AT CLEMSON,
Information i'm Regard to Eeed and
Ages of Cattle to Be ERtten2d,

For the past two seasons Clemson
College has been sending out a list
of questions to be answered by the
cattle feeders Of the State. The Dur-
pose Of doing 80 was to obtain re-
suits for several years, and TO get
lated in some definite form and
placed in the hands of the 80 who OK
pect to feed in the future
The results Of the set sou 1910
1911 were very unsatisi actory, as
few of the feeders kept accurate rec
ords Of their feeding. On account
Of the high price of feedcr cattle IN
the fall Of 1911 and the low price
OF fat cattle in the sprinS Of 1917,
combined with the high price Of iced
during that season, mos OF those
who fed cattle lost money vet some
made their manure clear Taking
into account the increase yield Of
the lands where this manure was
used, it was cheap fertili2er.
In the fall of 1911 feeder cattle
were practically the san price rs
in 1910, but feed stuffs Fere some
lower in price, and fat CIttle sold
for better prices in the apring Of
1912, so most of the feeders who led
carefully made some mney clear,
and at the same time sa IA i,rGo
amount of manure.
The following are a cw Far.nrs
which are very importan' in tecuing
cattle:
|. A good grade Of C; trlG bought
at reasonable price.
2. The cattle of each zen should
be Of uniform size and "a.
8. Cattle to be fatten(d on c0.j0n
seed meal should be thrc~ years id.
4. Cattle should be starteG IN
small quantities Of mea preferably
a half pound Of meal f"r huuu 1t
pounds Of live weight. Meal should
be gradually increased about one
pound per month.
5. Cattle should be Kept under
comfortable conditions, With plenty
of fresh water accessible
6. Roughage should .e raised at
home instead Of being bought at high
prices; for instance, in the season II
1910-11 some of the feedcrs fed as
much as SIT worth Of rOuEAage per
steer, most Of which was hi h-nI..ad

8. Cattle must be well finished
and very fat to bring the best prices.
8. Cattle should not be weighed
after long drives to get the best
weight when sold.
All farmers who are contemplate
ing feeding cattle should contract
for them during August or Septem-
ber, as this is the time most good
cattle are being sold for feeding.
These cattle should be delivered and
put into the feed lots by the middle
Of October, and fed from 80 to 12O
days.

Number of Suicides Increase.

Number of Suicides Increase.
The record of suicides shows an
increase, the number for 1912 being
1881, as compared with 2,242 in
1911. The proportion of suicides, as
between men and women remains
about the same, being 1852 males,
and 5,349 females. Physicians, as
usual, head the list among profess
sional men, the number being 40, as
compared with 27 in 1911. Clergy
own lives. 1t is a curious fact that
few lawyers are guilty of suicide.
Among business men IA bankers
have made way with themselves.
The causes of suicide were as fol-
lows: Dependency, 6,321; unknown,
1882; insanity, 1912; domestic in
tcncijr. i-2o: Ill health. l,9G2;
business loses. %; liGuov- II; dis
awosntmcur in love. 6IT.
IN" hciHA4hoiy feature OF these
statistics Is the constantly Increasing
number Of those who were impelled
to commit suicide because Of i'll
health. Of the total number, 4,1S4
shot themselves, 1926 took poison,
2,722 hanged themselves, S52
| drowned themselves, 14S cut their
| throats, 500 asphyxiated themselves,
SO threw themselves in front of rail
road trains and 1853 from roofs or
| windows, so stabbed themselves, 81
burned themselves, Is blew them
selves up with dynamite, and 6
starved themselves.
125 Airmen Lost Their Lives.
One of the saddeSt features OF the
disasters Of the year is the large in
crease in the number Of aviators who
have sacrificed their lives in the at
| tempted solution Of the problem of
safely navigating the air. In 1908,
one man killed; in 1909, four; in
1910, 33; in 1911, 90; in 1912,
1875; making a total Of 288 in the
four years since ari-fying was at
