STATE HOSPITAL

by safe and sane folks.
Mr. Luithe is conservationalist.
He utilizcs everything calculated to
improve the quality Of the soil. He
employs scientific methods of fertili-
zation, drainage and tlllage. The re-
suit is that the expenses Of the hos
pital table are decreased materially
by the variuu, kinds Of vegetables
grown ON the grounds All through
the growing season the patients have
fresh vegetables on their bin Of fare.
If the hospital had sufficient funds
they would have homegrown canned
goods for winter use. 4 canucIy is
one OF DIR. Scrutchdcld's dreams.
Many Of the patients are able and
willing TO do farm and garden work.

and mentally. Consequently the az

DR.. Scrutchfield tells me that about

NEW SPAPER ETHICS

Every once in while some one
brings in printing with request that
it be kept secret. Perhaps little
information concerning the rules OF
newspaper Offices and printing plants
will not be out of place. One of the
first things an apprentice is taught
is absolute secrecy concerning any
thing that is done in the Office. He
must not give out information as to
what kind of printing is being done,
nor give any notice of what is to APP
pear in the paper. Another rule is
that the copy hook is sacred-- that is
outsiders must not read its contents
neither should they read the copy on
the case before the compositor. This
last is considered by the average
printer as i'll bred as the reading of
private correspondence. All proof
sheets and in fact the paper itself is
considered private Office property I'M
til it is delivered to the public.--The
Courier, Charleston.

agricultural prosperity rests upon live
stock The reason is simple. Contin:.
ued productivity Of the soil is possible
only when apart of the material re-
moved as crops is returned to the soil
producing It. The sooner the people
of the South recognize and acton this
principle the sooner they. may expect
agricultural Independence. There is
steady and marked progress in this
direction. Progress, however, is i'm
peded by numerous fallacies. A few
ii the most serious of these obstacles
We shall endeavor to point out
Belief in the general purpose COW
is perhaps the most common fallacy.
The fact is easily understood. Begin
ners are seldom specialists. First
effort is general followed by
specializing as later development
Therefore people not prepared to aim
at advanced registry records or baby
beef aim half way between and seek
the general purpose COW. They mean
to "hit if the animal is deer and
miss If it is calf"
Some dairy animals are better for
beef than others and some beef stock
shows up better at the pail than 9TH
ters, but the real general purpose ami
mal-equally good in both places
does not exist. For best success, there
fore, 1t is quite essential that the be
ginner decide upon the kind Of live
stock business best adapted to his con
ditions, tastes and markets. Then Sc

requirements. +

many beginners. They reason that i
the Jersey gives very rich milk II
moderate quantity and the Holster
comparatively poor milk in large guam
tity, cross of the two would give ;
combination of the rich milk of on
with the large quantity of the other
They forget taht the two undesirabl
characteristics-poor quality and small
quantity-are just as likely to resul
from the cross. Cross-breeding, there
fore, is of doubtful value, and is SAT-
only in the hands of the expert.
Tick Is Greatest Pest.
Cattle ticks are the cause of mucl
misconception. The first fact tn
stockman should take to heart is tn
very serious injury wrought by thi
pest even under any possible condition
The tick is probably more to blam
for the inferior character of Souther
cattle than all other factors combined
Cheap land, mild climate, cheap fee
and all other natural advantages ca
never compensate for this one grea
pest.
There is neither justification nor e.
cuse for continued injury from TIL
source. Eradication is perfectly fe
sible. The chief obstacle in the wa
of final eradication is the common b
lief that the cattle tick also infes
