Weed Out the Loafers
"Weed out the loafers from your
COWS. You have, say, twenty cows.
Ten of them are paying profit over
and above the cost of their keep; ten
of them cost more than they bring
you. Would it not be wise to weed
out the ten that are loaing on you?
Would you not make more money,
with less work, if you reduced your
cows to ten and kept only those that
earn you a profit?

conversation with a man of large
wealth who is testing out several fam
lilies of cattle. He has seven Ayrshire
cows, three Guernseys, seven Jerseys,
eight Shorthorns. He is using high
grade, magnificent Ayrshire sire and
is keeping careful records of all re-
suits obtained. He is only one of many
who are experimenting with various
breeds of stock and trying crosses of
all kinds. Out Of all this effort there
is coming wonderful improvement of
the cattle of the northwest We are
working to higher levels and rapidly
grading up our cattle. Don't worry
over the beef that is coming from Ar
gentina and Australia-let it spur you
to grow better beef, beef that is
sweeter, juicier and more nutritious.
The climate and water of Minnesota
will help you win out on beef as
against South America, if you act in
diligently. Will intelligence help in
handling cattle? Let me give you an
illustration clipped from paper:
$3.50 Profit on Each Steer
Kansas City, Mo-, JAN 3-Kansas
has made the record cattle price for
the year on the open market. A lot
of 1 ,229-pound steers and heifers from
Highland sold at $40 hundred
pounds, price not paid before on
any open market since late in 1912.
These cattle were brought year ago
in Kansas City by w. G. Walters.
They weighed an average of o480
pounds then and cast $3.50 a head.
When brought to market by Mr.. Wal
tiers they brought S122.9O head. They
were Angus, Shorthorns and Here
fords and were brought for Christmas
trade.
Increasing the number of our cat
tie means maintaining and increasing
the fertility of our soil. That means
more corn to the acre, and more corn
to the acre means more feed and
fatter cattle, and that spells pros
perity.

BishOpville, June 25.-The follow
ing young women, members Of the

awarded scholarships in the summer

garden of each member was visited
by c. w. McLendon and j. p. Kilgore,
cntailing n journey which aggregated
over 200 miles, and the willingness to
do this work and the painstaking care
with which it was done deserve all
praise. The interest in the work is
more intense at this time than ever
before and there are quite a large
nj nber of girls in the contest.
Miss Sarah Frances Drafts secures
the first scholarship, her genera. aver
age being 81 out of a possible 100.
The second scholarship is given to
Miss Ada j., Dixon, with score Of
92. Miss Almena Weldon and Miss

again. This speaker also defended
the new primary rules, and referred
again to the 500 foreign voters in

to Mr.. Pollock that the governor be

Conditions.

Atlantic City, y. j., June 2G.-In-
teresting results Of the studies Of pei
lagra by experts who have been en-
gagged for months in research work
were presented to the house Of dele
gates of the American Medical asso-
citation here today.
On behalf Of the Thompson-Mc-

mitted by j. +. Siler, captain medi-
cal corps, ". S. A.; p. T.. Garrison,
M. d., past assistant surgeon, U. S.
NJ, and w. j. MacNeal, M. d, New
York
Their synopsis showed that in Spar
tanburg county, South Carolina, peila-
gra is most prevalent in the cotton
mill villages. 1t attacks particularly
women. young children and old peo-
pie Of both sexes. The disease seems
to originate through proximity to OF
association with n pre-existing case OF
pellasra. 1t spreads most rapidly in
districts where unsanitary methods OF
sewage disposal are in use.
Attempts to transmit pellagra to
animals have been unsuccessful. Hy.
gienic and dietetic treatment Of tht
disease has yielded good immediate
results, but after returning to former
conditions Of environment nearly al
cases have required.

centred the administrative functions
OF the body. went on record as op-
posed to the evils Of child labor Res.

Overeating, especially of meats, and
the excessive use of alcohol and coffee
cause many cancers, according to DR.

before the association he declared
that cancerOus tissues develop and are
maintained by nutrition derived from
food and drink and that tumors grow
by the same means.

FrOm The Florence Times, June 2G.
1910

1919
Interest was evidently concentrated
at the Florence meeting Of the State
campaign Of the Oath upon the gu
bernatorial candidates. The big four
as they have been called, Manning,
Clinkscales, Mendel Smith and Rich
ards, certainly occupied the center of
the stage so far as interest war-~,r
cerned. We would say that tn
ception accorded Prof. Clink S8afess
suffered partial collapse before his
address was completed. His honesty
was perfectly manifest, but there wa
apparent a lack of craftsmanship in
the measures he presented, or the
issues which he advocated, which was
disappointing. Then there was also
q want Of dignity in his attitude and
manner which distinctly chilled his
hearers who evidently expected
something better.
Mr.. Mendel Smith is one Of the
!
discussion showed q mental pOise
and precision and the points empha-
sized in his address showed an appre.
citation Of the needs of the State to a
degree which unquestionably gained
strength for him in Florence, where
before, he has been little known.
Mr.. Richards showed a desire to eX-
cite factiOnal feeling and class de-
stinctiOns which fell far short of ap-
pealing to the conservative thought
Of the audience which gathered in
the court house. The readiness of
Mr.. richards to swap horses; to
Change his course to catch the ripple
of any breeze which might bear the
| tpulfots--if a mixed metaphor may
be uscQ--his swift change from dis
pensary championship to prohibitions
list and then to local option and then
from the anti to the pro Blease COL
umn, had apparently sunk into the
consciousness of the Florence audi
tors and Mr. Richards failed signally
to put it over"
Mr.. Manning, true to the confidence
which his friends have placed in him,
made a dignified and earnest talk on
the issues. His was the last speech
and people were tired and worn out
with the heat, but if we are any Judge
OF sentiment Of an audience, no one of
the speakers made such a favorable
impression as the Sumter man. His
appeal was to the sane side Of poll
tics; to the issues that affect the well
fare of the State and her people.
There were no flights of oratory, but
we'll expressed, dignified and earnest
appeal to the patriotism Of his hear
ers. The response was genuine and
earnest.
If, rs we say, we are any judge Of
the impressions made upon the Flor
ence audience, we should say that
Manning made the deepest impress
sion Of the day. He has strengthen
cd himself in Florence and if his
speech was a fair sample Of his per-
fOrmance elsewhere in the campaign
we should be inclined to believe that
his chances are the best of the crowds
Of antis to go into the second pri-
mary.
