ing farmers so to arrange their fl.
nances that they can feed some cattle
this fall and winter.
How to Select Feeders.
Farmers who have not yet selected
their feeders should do so at once In
choosing feeders, look for the animal
with the blocky form. Do not take
rangy, leggy stuff with shallow bodies.
The constitution Of the animal has an
important bearing on his value as
feeder. This is indicated by short,
broad head, broad muzzle, open nos
trils. large heart girth and clear eye.
Look especially at the head, as the re-
mainder Of the animal generally CORE
spends to the head. Pick a short
broad head
Another important point is feeding
capacity. Just as a dairy cow Is
machine for turning feed into milk,
SO is beef animal a machine for turn
ing feed into beef. Select feeders with
big feeding capacity.
Quality which is important also, Is
indicated by general form. fineness OF
hair size of bone and horn and thick
ness OF skin.
own breeding are advised to keep
off grass this fall. 1t is profitable to
finish cattle. The finished steer is the
one that brings the most money.
Care Of Cattle.
| The care OF feeding cattle Is most
important There is much truth in the
old Flemish proverb that "the eye Of
the master fattens his cattle" Two
men may give their cattle exactly the
same feed. yet one lot Of stuff may do
much better than another, merely be-
cause of the difference in care. Ono
point to remember Is to watch the cat
tie closely for scOurs. When ar animal
scours the chances are that TT is get
ting too much feed or unbalanced feed.
Another point to be observed is regu-
larity of feeding and watering. Let
ting a steer go several hours past its
feeding time may cause it to gorge IT,
self to such an extent as to develop
serious trouble with it's digestion. In
general, safe rule is that the cattle
that are best cared for Will fatten best.
The feeding Of the cattle and hogs
for these cooperative markets will be
directed by the demonstration and ex
tension forces Of Clemson College. The
feeding will be supervised directly by
the county demonstration agents
while all special cases will receive at
tentTon from the livestock specialists

Sinaa Wilson Visits Anderson

MIR. Sam Wilson, Of Garvin

land owner in the state, was a
visitor in the CITY today.
Mr.. Wilson, how many acres
have you in cotton this year :"
he was asked.
"Oh, don't know exactly VI
reckon there must be 1000 or
more" he replied.
What sort Of crop have you.
LAS good as last yearI" he was
asked
mo, sir, not by a jug full.
The red spider is playing the
dickens with my cotton. There
is patch of 20 acres right near
my house on which | always
raise 20 bales every year. The
spider is in that patch, and reck-
on I won't get as much as one
bale off the 10 acres. The spider
has not hurt all Imy crop, Of
course. Ihave some pretty good
cotton, and I'll get a pretty good
yield-but nothing like what l
got last year. Anderson Mail.

The live stock markets Of the state

under construction. These cities are
concentration and selling points. A
man raising cattle and hoks will ship
them for market to the one Of these
points nearest to him. The railroads
have granted what is known as a sell

greatly in reducing the cost Of trans

marketing are already here.
Buyers Coming Here.

tor Of extension at Clemson College,
has made arrangements with a number
OF prominent stock buyers Of the east

South Carolina. There will be two
sales periods this season, one a mid
winter sale and the other a spring
sale, and the buyers will come to
South Carolina on these two occasions
and go from one to another of the cen
trail market points. This reverses the
older order Of things, under which the
South Carolina farmer shipped his cat
tie to eastern markets and trusted to
his luck for what he could get for
