CLEMSON COLLEGE, Dec. 30
The present low price OF cotton has
caused many farmers 10 seek advice
from Clemson College as to the eco
nomfc e OF fertilizers this coming
season.. To meet this demand, Prof.
j.. H. Harper, director of the South
Carolina Experiment Station, has
written a bulletin on this subject.
Among other things. he states that
practically all the soils of South Car
DINA will respond to good treatment
and fertilization. It does not pay to
plant and cultivate crops unless they
are well supplied with plant food.
'The o important plant food for
Prof. Harper, "is nitrogen lam
monia. All OF our soils are deficient
In this element. This Is due TO the
fact that the n~itrates are soluable
In water and are constantly teaching
out OF the land. Therefore unless
crops are grown in rotation with the
iegumes, the farmer must use some
form OF commercial nitrogen and he
should insist that this nitrogen be
available. Nitrate OF soda, sulphate
Of ammonia. blood, cotton seed meal:
fish scrap and tankage are splendid
sources Of nitrogen. Cotton seed
meal is n OF the best and at the

-ARNERSS PA(-F ARauhrw Weekly Feature for the Farmers of Anderson and
Can the Slaughter of
Calves Be Prevented

The slaughter of young calves is
n of the serious phases of the prob
lem OF the maintenance of our coun-
try's beef supply. Statistics indicate
that the slaughter of such animals is
increasing rapidly, due primarily to
an Increase in the demand for veal,
IN spite Of the fact that veal Is oydi-
nariiy sold at an extremely high price
per pound
These a calves are largely drawn
nom the dairy districts, but, with the
growth in the demand for veal, other
sections are marketing as zeal in con-
siderable numbers calves that IL kept
and fattened, would have made good
beef steers. The market for stockers
and feeders is therefore affected.
various suggestions have been made
TO prevent this even such radical ones
as legislation to prohibit entirely the
slaughter OF calves, The fact Ii not
always recognized, however, that this
practice is purely economic: In dairy
9lstrlcts, milk production is the chief
business and calves are an incident.
valuable only to replenish the milking
stock or for such revenue as may be
obtained from their sale as veal. AS
the average dairyman must keep the
number OF his mixers at a maximum,
economy demands that he relieve him
SER or his surplus calves as socn as
possible. AS there is not ordinarily
any market for such calves except for
real, veal they become. IRE SLAUGHTER
OF calves in districts which are NOT ex-
clusfvely devoted to dairyine probably
a as its governing factor a market
near by which pays more for calves
as veal than as stockers.
A comparison Of English and Amer
lean methods in this respect sheds
some light on this problem. In Eng
land men make n business of buying
young calves throughout the dairy
districts to be raised on milk substi.
tutes II subsequently sfattened for
beef. In England the dairy cows o,
largely Shorthorns whose calves o-o
valuable for beef production. In t
United States, on the other hand the
COWS OF the dairy districts are princi-
paliy OF the strictly dairy breeds (puro
Dreds or grades) or natives with mr.
breeding, and the calves from s,,cb
COWS have, as q rule, little value
FEEDERS for beef, but make good veal
AS the calves in a dairy herd are
no OF paramount importance. a sys-
tenn OF breeding which would increase
their value for beef production would
no necessarily decrease the dairy val
ue OF the herd when grade or native
cows are used. If such cows were
bred to- beef or dua1-purpose bulls.
the calves would have considerable
value as stockers. This practice would
not be warranted, however. unless
there was a nearby market for such
stockers. 1t must also be observed
that this practice necessitate RAISING
calves by hand, largely ON milk substi.

as where they follow the cows until

TEACUP FULL OF
 LAVA-L|KE EARTH Has Wonderful Force in It. Some Points About Crude
 Vitalitas

One teacup full of lava-like substance as dug from the Vitalitas mound in Texas has more curative forces In it than any other nature substance known to man.
 The question is asked if the raw ma teriai. az mined out of the earth, is itself healing9 It is, and wonderfully so. There is no other earth product so far as science knows that compares with it in medicinal forces and properties. Bind it on a limb afflicted with rheumatism, on sore or protruding piles and the results are like magic.
 By a scientific process the chemical properties are extracted from Vitalitas in condensed liquid form, leaving lifeless substance like powdered pumice. Vitalitas will cleanse and reinvigorate the system as will nothing else.
 One teaspoonful of Vitalitas in a half glass of water constitutes a dose It as- sists in clearing the liver. in overcoming toxic poisons and in putting vitality into every part of the system where it is lack ing. Nitalitas is performing many mar vicious cures.

A peculiar accompaniment Of the

consequence they are volunteering

such numbers that the authorities are
barely able to cope with the supply.
The reason for this loss of practice
