The Making and Feeding of siIase.

The Making and Feeding of siiage.
Silage during the last three de-
cades has come into general use
tally in those regions where the
dairy industry has reached its great
est Development. Silage is universally
recognized as a good and cheap feed
for farm stock, and particularly SO
for cattle and sheep. are the observa-
tons made in Farmers Bulletin 578:
silage is the best and cheapest
form in which a succulent feed can
be provided for winter use. An acre
Craps can be put in the soft during
a cost not exceeding that Of shock
ing, husking, grinding, and shredding.
Crops can be put in the soil during
weather that can not be used in
making hay or curing fodder. which
is an important consideration In
some localities.
A given amount Of corn in the
form of silage will produce more milk
than the same amount when shock.
ed and dried. There is less waste in
feeding silage than in feeding fod-
der. Good silage properly fed is all
consumed, and in addition very pala-
table. Like other sueculent feeds it
has a beneficial effect uIon the diges-
tive organs, and some stock can be
kept on a given area of land when
it is the basis of the ration.
On account of the smaller cost for
labor, silage can be used for supple
nlenting pastures more economically
than can soiling crops, unless only
small amount of supplementary feed
crop into siiage clears the land
sooner than if the corn crop
is required. Converting the corn
is shocked and husked, and be-
cause of these advantages silage, in
the general opinion of dairy farm
ers, has increased milk production
per COW and has increased the prof

We regret to see that Char
lesion will send two delegations
to the convention. What's the
use: Those opposed to the
Grace faction are in control, a nd
they have the ear Of a large naa'
jority of the State convention,
modern politics has not in its
category anything which looks
like the word "JUSTICE'
and even if Grace and his ad'
herents can make out a good
case he would be, in our opin'
ion, wasting time, as the people
throughout the State are dis
guested with the methods en-
ployed by all of the factions in
Charleston, and whenever there
is a dispute among them, as is
their custom, the people feel
like saying IA Plague on Both
of You"

The Socialists met in Colum.
bla and nominated a full State
ticket for the coming election,
of course this party is not re-
garded seriously in the State,
but just the same it will be well
to keep an eye upon Its move
ments. The Socialists have
grown considerably in the past
few years, and it is steadily
growing. There is a strong ten
dency towards socialism through
out the United States, and really
many of the planks of the domi-
nant parties have been taken
from the platform of the Social
lists. It would not surprise US
to see this party become a fac

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
TIME FOR EXERCISE OF WISDOM.

Yesterdays morning news
papers give the reports from the
many state conventions, and,
the indications are the anti
administration forces will be
overwhelmingly in control.
These newspapers feature the
action of Newberry and Marl-
boro in falling to send Governor
Blease and John L. McLaurin
to the state convention, they
also put down Clarendon as
sending FIVE Blease men and
three anti.Blease men. If all
of the reports are as accurate as
the Clarendon report, there is
no telling just how the conven.
ton, from factional viewpoint
will stand. We think we can
explain the Clarendon report.
The correspondent was inform
ed that some of the delegates
elected by the Blease majority
at their clubs are not Blease
supporters for the senate, but
the delegates to the state con-
vention while they have been
Blease men in the past, do not
go to this convention as Blease
or anti. Blease men, but TO lend
their efforts to prevent an out
rage being perpetrated upon the
masses.
Possibly it is for the best the
convention will be overwhelm-
ingly anti-Blease, because, the
responsibility will be with that
faction, if they take extreme
action, they will pay the penalty
by bringing upon themselves
the condemnation of the masses,
they will cause many who are
somewhat inclined to support
Senator Smith for reelection, to
turn from him and give their
active support to Blease, in
whom they have not lost conf
dence; their support of Smith
is based on the principle Of Civ
ing a man second term if he is
worthy oft, but if Smiths allies,
because they have the numbers
in a convention, take such action
as will meet with the disapproval
of the masses, especially, if they
take such action as will create
a feeling of distrust, the Blease-
ties will come together and sol.

AS matter of political and
harmonious expediency the con-
trolling element in the conven-

been prompted by wisdom rath-

only so, the action of these two
conventions will do more to-

most any other agency; the
friends of these two prominent

CLIFTON OF SUMTER A COMING MAN

1t is with pleasure that we
note Sumter has reelected Hon.
J. H. Clifton. County Chairman
of the Democratic party, and a
delegate to the State Conven,
ton. Mr.. Clifton is without
doubt one of the coming men OF
South Carolina, recognized one
of the most formidable debaters
in the State, and by long odds
the most forceful debater in the
State senate. He is ever on the
alert for the interests of Sum
ter especially, and when it comes
to matters of general interest he
exhibits a wonderfully keen ap.
probation of discrimination and
statesma nship. We think We
speak the general view OF the
members of the State senate
when we say that Sumter has in
John H. Clifton Representa-
tive whose place would be hard
to fill. and the State and Game
Cock County has every reason
to be proud of.
We have not been informed
by Senator Clifton whether or
not he will stand for reelection,
should he not do so it would not
only be a misfortune for Sumter,
but a source of deep regret
throughout the State. Those
who have had an opportunity to
see him in action appreciate his
broadness Of mind. his devotion
to duty to his constituents, and
his great ability to discuss with
clearness the most intricate
problems that are presented in
a legislative body. We shall be
greatly gratihed to see his can
didacy announced soon.
