House Cleaning.

Sing a song of cleaning house!
Pockets full of nails,
Four and twenty dust pans,
Scrubbing brooms and pals!
When the door is open,
Wife begins to sing
"Just help me move this bureau here
And hang this picture, won't you
dear?
And tack that carpet by the door,
And stretch this one a little more,
And drive this nail and screw this
screw,
And here's a job I have for you
This closet door will never catch,
/ think you'll have to fix the latch;
And, oh, while you're about it, John,
I wish you'd put the cornice on,
And hang this curtain when you're
done
III hand you up the other one;
This box has got to have a hinge
Before I can put on the fringe;
And won't you mend this broken
chair;
I'd like a hook put right on there,
The bureau drawer must have a
knob;
And here's another little job
l really hate to ask you dear
But could you fix a bracket here?"
And on it goes when these are thru
With this and that and those to do.
AID infnitum, and more too.
All in a merry jingle
And isn't it enough to make
A mar wish he was single? AL

POINTS TO Note IN
SELECTING 4 COW

The dairy COW must be studied from
the point of view Of her development
around four centers-frst. the milk
producing center. indicated by the de-
veiopment of the udder. the milk veins
and the milk wells; second, the diges-
tive center as found in the barrel or
body of the COW; third. the respiratory
and circulatory center, located in the
chest, and. fourth. the nervous center
as manifested in the development of
head and back and in the general lean
appearance of the animal.
In the development Of these centers
the tendency is for the animal to be
larger in the rear half Of the body.

INTENSIVE FARMING ON THIS LITTLE FARM
of ground in one season, provided care
is taken to make the right combina-
ton. A scheme like this is feasible:
Peas. followed by cabbage. beans.
tomatoes or celery.
Onions. beetS. beans and squash. fol-
lowed by kale. turnip. kohlrabi or rad
isheS.
Lettuce. followed by beans and TO-
matoes.
Spring spinach. followed by beans
and tomatoes.
Early carrots, followed by spinach.
kale. turnips and winter radishes.
Early corn. followed by q second
crop Of corn. by beans. tomatoes or
celery.
For intercrcpping the following may
be used:
Radishes with beets. carrots or pars-
nips. tomatoes or corn.
Squashes. pumpkins. with corn.
Early onions with caulifower pr cab
bage.
Lettuce with early cabbage, corn or
tomatoes.
Space in the garden may be saved
by planting corn between alternate
rows of potatoes after the last cult
eation. and when the potatoes are har-
vested winter turnips may be planted.
thus keeping the ground busy all the
season. If early peas are planted three
feet apart corn may be started be-
tween the ows and when the peas
are off squash seeds may be put In. 1t
is even possible to have pole beans
climb up the ~cornstalks, although this
is carrying intensive culture to ex-
tremes.
When the ground is to be kept COW
cred all the season, it is necessary to
have it rich. to cultivate it thoroughly
and to use the hoe freely from spring
until fall. If the owner Of a little place
is willing to observe these three points,
it will be easy for him to grow an
amount of produce that will amaze his
%neighbors. Fall blowing is essential
and manure should be spread quite
literally and covered to a depth of
eight to twelve inches.
What to grow in the hotbed in order
to get ready for this sort Of intensive
gardening depends on your market or
what you want to use it for. Leaf
lettuce and radiShes are always in de-
mand in early spring. They are some.
what easier to grow than other crops.
For lettuce start Il small bed early and
transplant in space 4 by 5 inches when
they have grown to the second leaf.
The soil should be moist. but not wet.
Do not water them until after the
plants get a good start.
This matter Of watering is a particu-
lar part Of the work. Water should
be applied only during the early hours
of the day and when the u is shin
ing. Plenty Of ventilation is also i'm
portant and the edge Of the sash
should be raised according to the heat
of the day. closing up in time to hold
the heat after the sun goes down.
Radishes are easy to raise, but if they
are forced too much they are liable to
go mostly to tops. A few days longer
in growing will give them better quail
ity. All small. imperfect seed ought to
be sifted out. The stand should aver
age from one-half inch to an inch in
the row. and the rows ought to be
five inches apart.
1t usually pays to start early
tomatoes, cabbage, caulilower and
other tender vegetables in the hot
house. as thus they get a good start
before the ground Is warm enough for
them.

DAIRY WISDOM.

The calf should always receive
the colostrum or first milk Of the
COW. This starts the digestive
organs into action.
Train tie youngsters to lead.
No heifer should reach her first
birthday unbroken to the halter.
1t is a great mistake to leave
the separator a day or two with
out cleaning.
Be sure to keep good. clean
bedding under the cows and alb
sorbentS in the cutters.
The greatest gains r made
when the COWS are warm and
comfortable. The food they eat
goes for production instead Of
fighting the elements.
The separator should he wash
ed every day. even If it stands
in a cool place.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1915-05-05
Manure For hotbeds.

Fresh horse manure, containing a lib
eral amount of straw or other litter, is
the best material to furnish heat in the
hotbed. If manure Is saved from the
home stable it should be collected and
preserved under cover. It requires
about one two horse load for every two
sash.

Editor Press and Banner:
AS per your request, l hand you
herewith the following:
Monday, April 26, I visited on
Route No. 8, Demonstrators, S. E.
Evans, S. T. Ramey, S. Grier Sher-
ard, Archie w Watson and Walter
B. Wilson. Evans, Ramey and
Sherard have put on a three acre
three year rotation. Mr.. Sherard
has put on one acre of Sudan grass
in addition. Walter B. Wilson is
trying out Sudan grass also. Archie
has an acre of corn.
Tuesday, 1 ST ~rt the day at the
County Farm. The County Commits
sioners have kindly set aside a five
acre plot on which we shall plant
one acre to cotton, n to corn, n
to the 100 Day Velvet Bean, follow
ed this fall with Alfalfa, one acre to
peas, one half acre to Sudan grass
and n half acre to Teosinte. The
Commissioners realize that the far
mers of Abbeville county should
grow more of the hay grasses and
the two latter will be on adjoining
plots in order that the travelling
public may watch the two demonstra-
tons and determine which gives the
better yield, and which makes the
better hay.
Wednesday: I visited J. R and
c. A. VIM, W. C. and folly Ellis,
W. B. Uldrick, both Junior and SEN
ior, T. o. FAINT, Crawford Bros. and

of crimson clover to be followed with
corn. j. A. Ellis is one of the oldest
Demonstrators in the county and has
almost his entire farm in either
Burr or Crimson clover which he
says are his pets, yet he believes
that the 100 Day Velvet bean is great
soil builder, hence has IN a two
acre demonstration. j. Hunter Nick
les has an acre of corn. T. N. Han
nah has on a five acre demonstration
of corn and three acre of the 100
Day Velvet bean. G. N. McIlwain is

Persistency In milk production Is
q marked characteristic Of the Red
Poll cows. In this respect few
breeds will excel them. Persistence
is used in the sense Of making high
yields for successive years. Some
COWS make a very high record for
one or two years and then fall off
rapidly in their yields. 1t is not
thus with Red Polls. In England
Red Pollcd cattle produce both
meat and milk. In America the
dual purpose idea has been largely
lost sight Of in many herds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The jargon
OF the race track is a brand Of En-
glish that is almost impossible for the
layman to understand. A New Yorker
who is interested and studies such
things has been awed by track chat
ter for long time and decided that
he was going to get jerry to It.
He went out to Saratoga the other
the fourth race" he began. "I'm down
him opened up the conversation In the
track vernacular. He wore the check
cred suit and the white derby and the
red tie just as the cartoons picture
him.
II see Coming Tower is entered in
tie fourth race" he began. I'm down
nthe stand the other day and In
front Of me sets a lfdy regalaer. I
engagers her In conversation as to
+. Coming Tower. She loosens: Well,
Comm Tower is good old goat an
she don't owe me nothin.' believes
her. She's the best Of a fast bunch
Of dogs, but she amt the class I'm
fraid in this company. She'll boin up
the track for about six foiloings an
ZEN blow up at the stretch You know
what / mean. She'll be ten lengths
back of the leader at the finish"
The Investigator Of race-track En-
glish, with his head in a whirl, left
the stand hurriedly for air.
Elmer A. Bushnell, the cartoonist,
has left Cleveland newspaper syn
dictate and Joined the staff Of the
New, York Evining Mail. When
Bush, as he is known to his friends,
arrived in town, he was escorted to
one of the Nifty Batteries on Broad
way for dinner.
He has an aversion to the hat-room
pirates that amounts almost to a vio-
lent hatred. In this place the hat at
tendant has remarkable memory
and never gives hat check.
This was CALLING to Bushnell and
when he left the boy handed him
straw hat. How do you know that
is my hat?" he demanded.
Il don't know it, sir" was the re-
ply.
well, why did you give 1t to me?"
Because you gave 1t to me, sir"
And that ended the argument in
jiffy.
Returning travellers from England
say that the successor to the song,
"Tipperary." in the trenches and all
over London is "Till the Boys Come
Home" Also the Sousa marches are
being revived and are very popular
where the bands play.

Rheumatic
E Fever
Surrenders TO Anti.Kamnia Tablets

SuTrenders TO Anti.K amnia Tablets
In the treatment of Rheumatic Fever
many physicians employ purgatives, but
Or. n. F. Creed thinks that mild laxativeis
better. When the patient Is bilious he gives
calomel in small doses, one-fifth of grain
every hour until grain has been taken.
Then after four hours he gives the patient
. half ounce of citrate OF magnesia, with
syrup of lemon to disguise the taste, or he
keeps the bowels open with the mild laxa-
tive "Actoids.v The diet should be light,
and all animal food should be excluded as
!. far as possible from the dietary. For the
pain and fever he has found nothing equal
to Anti Kamnia Tablets, giving two tablets
every . to 8 hours as required. These
tablets may be obtained from all druggists
in any quantity desired. Ask for AK
Tablets. .Unexcelled for Headaches, Neu-
