CYCLONE HITS NEAR LAKE CITY
New House Blown Against Old and
Both Wrecked-No Life Lost

Lake City, S. c., Jan. 7.-Last
night about o'clock very destruct-
re cyclone visited the Gaskins neigh
bornoOd, about six miles east Of this
place, blowing down outhouses. trees
and the like. The most serious dam
age reoprted was to j. f. Lawrence's S
new house, which he was erecting
just in front Of the one in which he
was living. When they heard the
roaring Of the wind Mr.. Lawrence
and the contractor who was doing the
work for him stepped on the front
porch to see what it was, and about
this time the frame of the new house
was blown over on to the old house,
breaking it down upon the family.
Mr.. Lawrence and Mr.. Hazelden,
the contractor, after about thirty
minutes eXtricated themselves from
the timbers and at once began the
work of reScuing the other members
Of the family, and at the same time
preventing the spread of the fire,
which had caught some of the tim
bers which fell near to the fireplace.
in which there was a large fire. The
wreck was so great that it required
almost three hours, with the assist
ance of nefghbors, to remove the
broken timbers and rescue all of the
family.
The last one to be rescued was a
baby about year old, which was
found in bed with one Of the ioists
just across it's chest, yet there was
not a scratch on it's body, and except
for the cold it appeared not to have
suffered from the storm.
For a distance OF three miles the
trees and all small houses were
blown down and the damage is va
liously estimated, but it will be
found to be a considerable amount,
especially when the loss in timber is
considered.

CLEMSON EGG MASH A SUCCESS.
Lancaster County Breeder REPORTS
Fine Results with Formula.

Clemson College, Jan. Especial:
Out of number of reports of sue
cess in feeding the Clemson College
egg mash to induce hens to lay, the
following letter to f. G.. Hare, poul-
try husbandman at Clemson, fromsa
prominent single comb white Leg
norm breeder in Lancaster county, is
among the most interesting recently
received, The writer says: 81 am
feeding the Clemson egg mash to
800 of my youngest S. c. white Leg
horn pullets, and it has brought them
out wonderfully. They have already
begun to pick up in egg yield"
This mash, which was originated
by Mr.. Hare, contains only foods that
are produced in South Carolina. 1t
can easily be mixed at home, of
home-raised materials, or, if neces-
sary, it can be bought from dealers
in Greenville, Spartanburg, Column
bia, Darlington or Bennettsville, who
have decided to keep the Clemson
mash on hand.
The formula for the mash consists
of one-third cotton seed meal, one
third equal parts wheat bran and
shorts, and one-third equal parts corn
meal and ground oats. In some sec
tons where ground oats cannot be
readily obtained, the last third may
be OF corn meal alone, but ground
oats should be used if possible. Add
to each rs pounds OF the mixed meals
four pounds Of ground lime rock (not
slallcd lime) or of chick-siZe ground
oyster shells, three pounds of chick
size ground charcoal and one-half
pound of table salt. This makes a
pal2table mixture, (which contains
1879 per cent protein, 46.2 per cent
carbohydrates, "A per cent fiber, and
A.2 per cent fat-a balanced mash
| iood for laying hens and pullets.
All that is necessary is to place this

CORN CLUB PRIZES
Offered FOR 1915
Scholarships and Cash Given by n. G.
Hastings In South Carolina

Atlanta, Especial Corn club
prizes for Southern boys in South Car.

states Of this section have been renew.
ed for 1915 by III. G.. Hastings, gen.
eral chairman Of The Georgia corn
show committe' ana chairman Of the
agricultural committee of the Atlanta
chamber of commerce.
The prizes amount in all to $1,000,
in cash and scholarships, and will be
awarded under the direction of the
government corn club agents in each
state.
In South Carolina Mr.. Hastings has
offered 800 to be divided into three
cash prizes Of $50 $50 and $2O or to
be awarded in scholarship form, ac-
cording to the wishes of the South
Carolina corn club authorities.
In Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and North Carolina,
Mr.. Hastings offers 500 in each state,
either in cash or scholarships, accord
ing to local arrangement. In Georgia,
his home state, he offers a $3.50 schol-
arship in the State College Of Agri-
culture and two additional cash prizes
Of $50 and $40, respectively
The great educational value and
constructive force Of the corn club
contests, in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn productions, are emphasized in
an interview given out by Mr.. Hast.
ings in connection with his announce.
ment Of prizes. Mr.. Hastings said:
"The interest now being taken in
corn production, by the federal gov
ernment, by state officials, by leading
organizations and individuals, is, in
my opinion, the greatest constructive
force now operative In agricultural
affairs in America. For too long the
tendency of education in the rural
school was to draw boys away from
the farm, but the corn clubs are now
combining with true agricultural edu.
cation to influence the boys to form
new ideas and new ideals OF farm
life. Tie corn club work is growing
in value and Importance with each
successive year"
