Letting Prosterity Pay.

There is a price of war that is
more important, more dreadful,
more unjust, and that takes far long
er to pay than any other. and it is
price also that has to be paid in
the only wealth, which is life. The
mere question who wins the war has
nothing to do with it. The ques-
tiohs who was right or wrong, who
began it, who gained or lost terilto-
r-, who paid tribute to whom when
peace was declared. how the taxes
rose or fell, which industries pros
pered or which decayed-all these
questions are neglible when COM
pared with the longest price Of war,
which all fighting nations have
paid and must pay.
All the prices of war fall most
heavily upon the future. Great
Britain we still pay heavy taxes
every year for the Boer War and
other wars of the past, right and
wrong. glorious and inglorious.
But the longest price of war is
wholly paid by future generations,
and hurts the future only. The peo.
pie who will live in the years to
come get none of the glory for
which rulers wage war; they, at
least, are innocent; they are at the
mercy of the past, which did not
consult them, but which makes them
pay.-Dr. G. w. SAleeby, in The
Youths Companion.

More Ships Needed.

There seems to be better feeling
now in business all along the line in
this country and conditions would i'm
prove more rapidly if ships could be
had for taking American products
abroad A congested condition exists
at some of the leading Atlantic ports
because of the lack of shipping facill-
ties. Dispatches from Baltimore state
that the grain elevators are filled to
their maximum capacity aud there are
vet a, ,26O, 900 bushels of wheat on the
railroad track awaiting ships TO be ex-
ported. There are at present more
than s., 900 bales Of cotton at Norfolk
ready to be loaded on ships for export.
Because Of the limited means for
a. ,orting coal to South America the
: {, .,o ampton Roads is now 81
per ton an coa lnat can be bought at
at $3.50 per ton.
The lack of necessary vessels to
transport American products abroad is
being. felt throughout the country. 1t is
to be hoped that congress will yet pro-
vide some relief. Even after the war
closes and normal status is restored,
business will still be retarded through
the shortage of vessels. The supply OF
vessels will have to be increased sooner
or later. Then why not now?

March will furnish. grazing in April
md May. If good grazing is ex.
pected only good soil should be
used, and in no case is it worth
while to SOW rape on any but very
rich, good land.
Z. While most pasture plants for
spring and summer do best in the
South when sow7 in the fall, there
are few exceptions, and then
many failed to SOW last fall. For
instance, there Is probably only one
better summer pasture plant for the
South than lespedeza. 1t is great
plant for the South because it is a
legume and will make some growth
on poor soils. If you have made
no other provision for summer pas.
lures, or in any case, SOW some
lespedeza the latter part of this

colt and the litter of pigs as soon as

Spring Campaign May Bring End.

Judging from isolated statements
that are made here and there in the
press concerning the plans of the ma
tions engaged IN the European conflict,
it appears that every preparation pos
sible is being made for vigorous cam
paign in the spring both in the east
and along the western battle line. New
weapons and engines of destruction are
being prepared, raw recruits by the
millions are being seasoned for service,
and additional supplies are being pro-
yided, all to the end that struggle
for the survival of the fittest be made
as soon as the passing of the winter
weather makes it possible.
Up to this time, Notwithstanding the
fact that the war has been waged for
more than six months, no decisive vic
tory has been won. The real strength
of the contending forces, the ability
of one side to cope with the other, has
not been tested. When the armies are
marshalled in the spring and are hurl-
ed against each other as effectively as
military genius can direct, let US hope
that there will be giving away, a
perceptible retreating, that will mark
the beginning of the end. While all of
the nations have apparently been en-
gagged in war to the hilt, yet all
the while they have been preparing for
still greater struggle, and it is the
result of this crisis that we are
waiting. The Advertisers prediction
is that within the next ninety days one
can with some degree of defniteness
or certainty forecast the length of the
struggle. Would that the war itself
could be brought to close before the
passing of spring.

Fertilizers and Economy.

Throughout South Carolina the far
mers will meet next Saturday to dis
cuss two matters that should be OF
vital concern to every farmer at this
time. Commercial fertilizers and econ
omy will be discussed at these meet
ings which have been arranged by the
county demonstration agents. Mr.. 2.
N. Lott, the efficient demonstration
agent for this county, is putting forth
every effort to make the meeting to be
held in the court house next Saturday
a success. AS farmers are not espe-
cially busy at this time, large num-
ber should attend the rally next Satur-
day.

Ten Livestock Suggestions For
-; ~ February.

III. 'fhe young animals need espe:
ciaI care at this season. The ma.
lure stock will get along without
shelter aud with scant feed and
when grass comes will fully recover
flesh lost durin" the winter; but The
young stock need dry quarters and
liberal! feeding. If they fail to get,
not only enough feed, but also the
right feed. they probably never get
over the injury.
9. 1 any one wants proof of the
folly of allowing the stock to run
all around the barns or stables he
has only to drive through the coun-
try at this time and keep his eyes
open. Why can not the lots be ar.
ranged so that the barn or stables
may be.approached from at least one
side without having to wade through
mud and filth? Of course, the barn.
yard has always been the horrid
thing that it now is, in wet wealth.
Ter, but that is no reason why it
should not be improved.
8. The muddy, unspeakable barn
yards and lots may always be with
us in the winter time; but one thing
We insist on: Give the young pigs
and the calves clean, dry place to
sleep and keep them out of the mud
in cool weather as much as possible.
Why is the open shed, with earth
floor raised above the surrounding
ground, not more common in the
South? Our stock do not need pro.
lection from cold, but the young
things especially do need protection
lfro,n rain, and mud.
i 4. Look out for lice. Stock poor,
| ly fed and cared for are easy prey
for the blood-sucking little pests
that do SO much damage to stock at
this season of the year. If the ami
mails are infested the stables are
also, and it will be necessary to
clean out all litter or bedding and
give the stables the same treatment
as the stock. The coal tar disln-
fectants on the market are probably
the best remedies for colts and
calves. Any non-irritating oil may
be used for the hogs.
5. lis not too early to make pre-
parations to kill the ticks that have
passed through the winter or that
may hatch from eggs laid late last
| fall. If no ticks are allowed to ma.
ture on the cattle this spring and
drop to the ground all will be dead
by July l. There is no more etfec,
tive time to attack the ticks. Let
us get at itin good season and dip
or treat the cattle regularly-every
last one of them-until all the
ticks are gone. When the pastures
are once clean they are easily kept
clean.

for late spring grazing if it was not

Try This For Neuralgia.

Thousands of people keep on suf
fering with Neuralgia because they
do not know what to do for it.
Neuralgia is a pain in the nerves.
What you want to do is to soothe
the nerve itself. Apply Sloan's
Liniment to the surface over the
painful part-do not rub it in.
Sloan's Liniment penetrates very
quickly to the sore. irritated nerve
and allays the inflammation. Get
a bottle Of Sloan's Liniment for %
cents of any druggist and have it
in .hc Louse--against Colds, Sore
and Swollen Joints, Lumbago,
Sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.

Paws TO Buy at Home.

The 'sMake in U. S. /" movement will
probably be successful, whether it's
popular or not. Most of our imports
have been cut off, and we will have to
buy American goods, whether we want
10 or not. The forced experiment will
doubtless convince us that we have
been wasting a lot of money every
year on imported goods when we could
buy better goods for less money at
home. This is true of cotton goods
and of almost everything else. An
