He is the powerful athlete, who ter
rorized Utica and cleaned out a pink
lemonade store there. At first it was
thought that he was suffering from al

case hold out no hope without treat
ment in the regular state hospitals.
The limit of five days was used in
holding the man under observation,
and in the meantime the officers in
Utica lodged well founded charge
against him to hold him longer. They
were fearful OF him there, where for
several hours he held the streets in
terror. His mania took the form of
imagining that he was accumulating
property at a rapid rate and taking a
liking for Deputy Sheriff Legge, he
promised him present of a fine piece

Nearly every farmer who has grown
many varieties of cotton has at one
time or another suffered serious losses
from the fungus boil rot known as
anthracnoee, Anthracnose Is wide
spread and very destructive. 1t some
times destroys all the bolls on stalk
and frequently destroys half the bolls
in a field. 1t attacks the seedlings
after they have come up and In this
stage frequently destroys the stand
of cotton. 1t attacks bolls when they
have begun to develop and usually ap-
pears on bolls that are from two-thirds
to three-fourths grown as small brown
or pink spots. Where such spots oc-
cur on the surface Of the boil. the seed
and lint of the inside are usually found
discolored and rotten. The disease en-
ters the seed of slightly diseased bolls
and when such seed are planted the
following spring anthracnose devel-
obs and attacks the young plants that
the seed produce. In this way Is an
thracnose carried from field to neld
and farm to farm.

ing farmers so to arrange their f.
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 dairy cow Is a
machine for turning feed into milk,
so is a 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, fneness OF
hair, size Of bone and horn and thick
ness of skin.
Farmers who have stock OF their
own breeding are advised to keep
them for feeding and not to sell them
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. One
point to remember is to watch the cat.
tie closely for scours. When an animal
scours the chances are that 1t 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 lts
feeding time may cause 1t to gorge 1t.
self to such an extent as to develop
serious trouble with its digestion. In
general, a 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
tention from the livestock specialists
of the extension division Of Clemson
College.

PREVENTING COTTON ANTHRACNoSE

stalks are plowed under In November,
the fungus does not live longer than
six or eight months. When fall plow'
ing and rotations are practised the
disease can readily be eliminated pro
vided diseasetree seed are used when
cotton is again planted on the land.
Seed free from the disease should al
ways be used for planting. 1t is best
to get these from a field where there Is
no anthracnose, but If this is imposst
BILE, seed should be selected from
stalks which are free from disease and
which are not near diseased stalks.
Anthracnose can also be spread at
the gin and care should be taken In
ginning seed for next years planting.
If the gin has previously been used to
gin diseased cotton, 1t should be thor
oughly cleaned out.
Anthracnose can be prevented en-
tirely by crop rotation and careful
selection Of seed. Now Is the time
to make your seed selections and to
plan your rotation with view to got
ting nd of this destructive disease.

South Carolina is better prepared to-
day for the raising Of livestock than
ever before in her history. Not only
Is there more dry feed and pasturage
in the state, but at last there are mar
kets also-good markets, that put the
South Carolina stock raiser on an
equal footing with the citizen OF any
other locality. Having made many
preparations and taken numerous pre-
liminary steps and after making two
actual experiments last year, the ex-
tension division Of Clemson College 1s
prepared now to undertake to super
wise the feeding and marketing OF
thousands of cattle and hogs this win
ter and spring and is making arrange
ments accordingly.
The live stock markets Of the state
are at Greenville, Greenwood, ROCK
Hill, Columbia, Florence and Charles
ton. At each point livestock pens are
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
ing-in-transit rate which will help
greatly in reducing the cost OF trans
portation. In short, the facilities for
marketing are already here.
Buyers Coming Here.
w. W. Long, state agent and direc-
tor Of extension at Clemson College,
has made arrangements with a number
of prominent stock buyers Of the east
ern markets to attend the sales in
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 90 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
them.
This cooperative marketing plan
has received wide attention outside
the state and number OF leading
farm publications have noticed 1t fav-
orably. 1t is also considered by the
United States department of agricul-
ture as one Of the best methods possi'
bic of developing the livestock industry
of the South.
illustrated posters were sent from
Clemson College late in July urging
farmers to select their feeders in Aug
ust In response to this, many people
wrote to the college asking where
feeders could be purchased and ez-
pressing their intention to buy. Banks
are assisting greatly in the work by
lending money on livestock and help

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu.
ton Of women to the werld, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful Nfe lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
Of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
1ative products Of generations Of
queenly conquest, and her crown Of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties Of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of. defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences Of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities Of
the sordid affairs Of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood Of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
Of our domestic welfare and guide
to a higher life, but directing the af.
fairs Of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.
