SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES.
Sixty Per Cent. of the Feeding Value
OF Alfalfa in the Leaves-Hay
Should be Cut at Right Time
and Cured so as to Preserve
the Leaves.

OF the entire alfalfa plant, accord
ing to Kansas bulletin 155, the stalk
comprises 60 per cent. and the lear
10 per cent, whereas the quantity OF
the protein in the stalk is only 40 per
cent, while the protein in the leaf IS
go per cent. Moreover only 20 per
cent. Of the fat is to be found in the
stalk, while so per cent. is in the leaf.
1t is, therefore, very important that
alfalfa be harvested at the proper
time, and carefully handled so thar
all the leaves will be saved.
, When possible to do so it Is best to
cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or
evening. Dew or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not injure it. Where E.
tedder is used, it should be started in
the morning as soon as most of the
dew is off and before there is any dan
ger of knocking Off the leaves. 1t i
often advisable to so over it mori

in much the same way as clover, ex'

Many Mines in South Carolina

Gold, silver, copper, etc
many of these could be worked
no doubt with profit; but in ou1
opinion there is another mine
more profitable than any yet
mentioned, and that's the farm.
Never has the farmer had a
better outlook than now, lis
very true that last year was a
short crop year, and many OF
our people were disheartened; 50
much so that many have lett
the farm and gone to work at
the mills or some public works
But the men who stick to the
farms are the men who are go
ing to find the gold. /,
Right here in this God-fayor-
ed land of ours, with the finest
climate, fertile soil, the purest
water, the very breeze is laden
with health producing proper
ties; our farm laborers are not
sufficient in number to cultivate
the land; there is not being
enough farm products produced
to supply the demand. So it is
very easy to see that the men
who stick to the farms will have
a market athome for everything
they can raise, and at good
prices.
The only discouraging feature
we see about the farm is that
some of our farmers come to
town to buy hay and corn to
feed their stock, when they
ought to bring the hay and corn
to town to sell. They could,
and they will do so in a few
years.

dismissed on account of bad
conduct, two are ex-friars, one
an priest and the others came
from evangelical families.
Now, Reader, if you should
have anything more to say on
this line will you please to tell
the people what you think of
that honorable board going into
foreign lands and establishing
theological schools like this.
Not a protesting christian in it
to be educated to preach the
gospel. Is there. any sound of
Baptist about such! Think of
this. In The home land the
church considers the qualifica-
tions of such as have made a
public profession Of faith and
consider his qualification to fill
the place Of a minister, and
usually he is recommended to
our theological school; but from
this report in foreign lands the
board establishes the school and
picks up ex-priests and friars--
a class said to have been exclud-
ed from some secret order and
such like-and educate them. I
know the churches that contrib
ute money and give it as mis-
sion money know but little of
what goes with it. They can
not help themselves if they did,
only to withhold contributions.
Our people are generally liberal
to missions, and that being
named in the collection, give
the support.
It is not my intention to mis-
represent anything or say any
thing personal. If anything is
construed in that light by Read
er, if he will point it out I will
gladly amend. 10 10.

The Death Penalty

Hon. Fred Williams has in
troduced a bill in the legislature
to abolish the death penalty.
For once the writer agrees with
him.
It's almost unthinkable that we
should live in this enlightened,
progressive age and still cling to
the barbarous and inhuman
practices Of the dark ages.
capital punishment cannot be
justified upon any ground. 1t
is contrary to reason, nature
and the law of God. Every
man has a right to enjoy that
which God gave him, and which
God alone could give-life, and
no man or set of men either
voluntarily or by promulgation
of law has a right to deprive
man of his life.
The only argument for the
death penalty is the protection
of other lives and virtue in the
punishment by death of an
offender. But this argument
falls when it is remembered
that murders, rape, and arson,
for which the death penalty is
prescribed are Of almost daily
occurrence and with the death
penalty staring them in the
face.
The most effective remedy
would be to prevent as far as
possible the causes which give
rise to the commission of such
crimes. For example let the
laws provide that liquor shall
not be sold or used except for
compounding medicines under
heavy penalty. Make it a pen
itentiary offence for anyone to
own a pistol. And then provide
a lifetime Imprisonment at hard
labor for anyone and everyone
convicted of any of the crimes
for which the death penalty is
now provided, and make the
law so the governor should not
be allowed to exercise clemency
in such cases.
It is feared, however, that
Mr.. Williams will find it very
difficult to get his bill through
with the sentiment that now
prevails in this State in favor Of
capital punishment. A large
per centage of the people seem
ingly favor the practice, and
many became impatient at the
law and take into their own
hands the summary punish
ment of a certain class of crimi-
nails, But this should not de-
ter him from making the effort
to lead people away from such
barbarious practices, but should
encourage and inspire him to
renewed vigor. He is on the
right track. the one which leads
out of darkness, superstition
and practices of the buried
past into the light of the Chris
tian Civilization of the 10Th
century. <
