The most serious limiting factor in
Southern agriculture is lack of humus
in the soil. The easiest and most
economical way to get humus in the
soil Is by growing and turning winter
legnrer. This also enableJ farmer
to ge@ nitrogen from the air and cut
his fertil,zer bills.

Manure is subject to heavy losses
from several sources. For instance,
many farmers lose practically all their
liquid manure, yet this contains more
valuable plant food than the solid.
There are number of ways to save
stable manure and every farmer
should exert himself to get the most
possible out of his manure.

afternoon for Savannah, where
he will probably give exhibitions
of his aerial skill next week.
MIR. Gary attempted to secure
contracts with Florence and
Wades5oro but was unsuccess-
full. If he had contracted with
Wadesboro he intended to fly
across country from here to
Wadesboro. Mr.. Cary made an
eighteen. mile flight week before
last from Anderson to Clemson
College. Wherever you go, Bud
Gary, you carry with you the best
wishes of the Fair Association
ard the people of Chesterfield
county. May you always have
the same good fortune that ct.
tended you III Chesterfield.
Secretary Hunley states that
checks to prize winners at the
County Fair will be mailed out
next week. Do not get Impa-
tient. Yours will be along soon.
Did YOU notice how many An.
son and Union County motor
care there were here last week?
Chesterfield put on an exhibition
that attracted not only from
this county but from outside the
state. Hurrah for Chesterfield |!
The general farm display of
Mr.. Tom Gaskins, which won the
red ribbon (second prize) came
in for good deal Of praise last
week. Mr.. Gaskins is a pro-
gressive farmer and will receive
ten dollars from the Fair Associ-
alton for his efforts In making
such a creditable display.
Who says Lee Melton did not
have the hardest job of any man
on the Fair grounds? Holding
the gate for hours was not an
easy task. Thru it all, Lee kept
his good humor, tho the many
circumstances were trying.
Messrs. Preston Huntley of
Cheraw and Will Ratclitfe of Mt.
Croghan assisted with the, judg-
ing in the riding and driving
events, and In the live stock de-
partment on Thursday, as Mr..
Stewart, the expert judge, was
called away by wire Wednesday
night. These gentlemen's work
VAS of the highest order and the
public joins with the Fair Asso-
citation in thanking them for
their fairness.
Doctor Trotti worked every
night during the Fair until 100
\. M, checking up the carnival
receipts. Being the active pres
ident Of Fair Association is no
child's play.
Stoll Chapman is a wonder! !!
He worked four days and five
nIghts during the Fair without
,!eep. 1he other night police
man stated that Mr.. Chapman
did not sleep any at all during
the night-on the joo all the

he was actively at work on the
police force at the Fair grounds

German Resources
Growing Richer

fea:ing Germany is that the AL
lies do not understand what Ger
many is fighting for. The French
still talk of war in terms of glory
and revenge. The English speak
of war as a kind of sport, ''as it
were almost cricket-as it were
even your play" to quote from
Kipling's "Islanders." But for
the Germans war is q business
to be conducted in a business
like way for certain practical ad-
vantages. They care more for
tie capture of factory than d
fortress. They attack railroad
stations, not capitals. They
would turn aside from a royal
castle to capture coal mine or
an oil we'll. Napoleon, with his
medieval imagination, had his
eye fixed upon Moscow and it's
hremlin; Hindenburg is better
pleased to have Lodz and it's
cotton mills. Consequently those
who follow the German campaign
with maps that omit railroads
and natural resources, can have
little conception of it's aims and
achievements.
For instance, why are the Ger
mans striving to reach Nish?
Not because it is the capital Of
Serbia, but because it is the
Junction of the railroads to Sa-
ionika and Constantipople. Now
that the Germans have broken
thru the 30 mile strip of Ser
blan territory, which separates
Hungary from Bulgaria, they al
ready have route, tho not vet a
railroad, clear thru to the Ros-
phorus. This opens up to them
the cotton fields of Turkey. Ten
years ago practically no cotton
was raised in Turkey, but the
yield had before the wal been
raised to 100000 bales a year,

THE SAME OLD GAME

THE SAME OLD GAME.-Recent-
ly, accompanying two friends, l went
to visit a patient at the new Chicago
tuberculosis hospital.
This patient was there, not be-
cause Of stress of poverty, but for the
reason that her physician had insist
ed that by being there she would get
benefit of the best that modern medi
cal science had evolved in the treat
ment of tuberculosis. Her family
were taxpayers and therefore felt en-
titled to the privilege of placing for a
short while one Of their number in
the institution as the recipient of
health-restoring methods and sur
rOUndings.
While much impressed with the
general and specific scope of the sani-
tariUm, and realizing the great and
far-reaching benefits that could re-
suit from its establishment, right
along with. this satisfaction comes
the consciousness that there in plain
sight is the same old writing on the

LITTLE HELPS FOR
A THRIFTY FARMER
Get Moving Machine in Order
Before Haying Commences
Don't PIoW Too Early.

One of the best things you can do
to make the moving machine work
bel er is to take off the guards, If
theg are somewhat worn, and grind
them along the edge that comes next
to the sections. 1t is quite a job,
but it pays well. Take a day before
haying time really commences, so the
work may not be delayed.
Look out for any weak or broken
places in the hay rigging. 1t is no
fun and it may be really dangerous
to have a. breakdown with a load of
hay on. Look after this now while
other work is not pressing, 1t is the
neglected stitch that splits the gar
ment.
It's big mistake to plow when the
ground shows up slick and oozy, as it
leaves the moldboard. Too wet, and
that means clods and impairment of
the texture of the soil. We are all
too eager to turn the ground over as
soon as the spring days come, but
little patience and good sense will
save trouble later and add to the bulk
of the crops.

ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Good Jobs Ready for Graduates
Of Dairy and Horticultural
Schools at Big Salary.

The graduates Of dairy and horti-

finding good jobs these days. The
young man who knows the science of
good farming and how to apply it COM
mands SIS to 500 . month, with his
board and lodging, and lives easily,
comfortably and wholesomely. The
farmer, who can do so, should give his
sons the education that will thus lift
them to the heights of their occupa-
tion.
Young men trained so that they can
command such financial returns for
their services to others can use their
scientific training to still greater profit
fol themselves. The scientific farm
er, who is worth $1OO or $3.50 month
to another man. is worth 5000 to $500
to himself, If he apply science to his
own soil.

(By H. VAN NoRMAN3


Profit is the difference between cost
OF production and the selling price.
To insure the largest profit in milk
production, the COW owner must know
that each COW in the herd is produc-
ing enough milk to pay for feed, labor,
interest, taxes and depreciation, and
then leave some for profit In one
herd, eleven cows produced 5000
worth Of butterfat above feed cost,
while four others ate $40 worth of feed
more than the returns for their butter
fat paid for. So that the whole fifteen
only averaged SIS each above cost of
feed. While, If the man had had only
the best eleven, he would have had
$40 more money, saved the feed and
the labor of handling. The only GER
tain way in which these "robber" COWS
can be located is by yearly records of
milk production. No man has yet
been found who can guess accurately
on every COW in a herd. Records may
be made by the owner, or by several
joining together in a COW test associa-
ton, and employing a man to do the
work.
Having located the Improbable
cows, and eliminated them, their
places can be filled in a few cases by
purchase. The prices are getting
high. Tie best way is through the
purchase of pure-bred sire from a
profitable cow, and the saving of his
daughters out of the best COWS in the

The tubercular COW is a menace to

Kindness and regularity in handling
dairy animals yield profitable returns.
The cream separator is one of the
necessities of the all round dairy
farm.
II you are manufacturing butter the
best way to sell it is to the special
customer.
II we cannot get the best cows

The yield and character of dairy

the character of her surroundings.

You Will be so pleased with results
that you will dig another one next

The man who considers foot-and-

1t is not advisable to milk COWS be-
fore calvlng except very heavy mixers
whose udders become so distended as
to cause suffering.
In handling hogs on the dairy farm
the shorter the fattening period the
greater the profits. Remember this
and feed accordingly.
An important point to inquire about
in buying a COW is the milking record
of the sire's dam and you must know
what she eats and what she yields.
Either alone is not sufficient.

Accidental inventions.

The aneients believed that there
was a certain kind of mineral sub
stance in existence by means of which
all the common metals could be turned
into gold. This supposed substance
was called the philosophers stone and
the alchemists of classic times and
during the middle ages spent much
time and labor in search of this won
derful substance.
OF course, since nothing of the kind
ever existed, 1t was never found; but
1t is worth remembering that some OF
the most notable inventions were dis
covered in this wide search. 1t was in
looking for the philosophers stone that
the German chemist, Botticher, STUN

PURE-BRED SIRES ARE BEST
Selection Of Herd Bull ls Of Greatest
lmportance-AVold Contagious
Abortion and tuberculosis.

Farmers everywhere are beginning
to appreciate the need for pure-bred
sires. In dairying the. selection Of
the herd bull is of the greatest impor-
tance because he is at least half the
herd from the breeding point of view.
His influence on the characteristics of
every calf born in the herd is as great
as that of the dam of the calf. II he
is pure-bred animal used on grade
COWS, his influence will be more than
half because bis transmitting powers
in breed characteristics will be
stronger.
No bull whose dam and paternal
grand-dam were not capable of pro-
ducing 300 pounds Of butterfat in 365
days should be used for breeding pur-
poses If good results are expected. 1t
would be much better If this premium
were set at $50. The prudent dairy
man will select a calf from a COW
which produced 400 pounds or more
of butterfat.
If the use of bulls from dams and
paternal grand-dams producing less
than 300 pounds of fat were prohibit
ed by state law it would be a long
step in advance. Much damage has
been done by INSCRIPTIONS and ignor-
ant breeders, who have sold, for
breeding purposes and at low prices,

herd. Each community should adopt
one breed and all buy sires of the
same breed. In a short time the
grade surplus stock will command
from $40 to $50 apiece above the
common scrub stock, because of the
large amount of it to be found in one
community and the reputation they
will acquire for breeding that one
class of stock.
Profits can usually be increased by
better feeding. Each COW must have
enough food-first, to maintain her
self; second, with which to make the
milk she yields, and any surplus above
this is stored up in the form of fat
to be used later when she doesn't get
enough food. The COW that has the
ability to produce forty pounds of
milk day, and is only fed enough to
make twenty-five or thirty pounds a
day, does not make milk as cheap as
she would when fed to her capacity
In the judgment of the writer, the
dairy COW that has the ability to make
tE,rty pounds of milk day, or better,
cannot eat enough alfalfa hay to
enable her to do her best work, and
she should be fed some form of grain
or by-product concentrate low in pro-
tein to supplement the alfalfa hay
eaten. Every COW must have enough
feed. The feed she does eat must con-
tain the minimum amount of protein
required for her maintenance and for
production of milk.
