BUTTERMILK THAT is
BETTER AND CHEAPER

All bacteria do not make trouble
and doctors bills. Some of them
make buttermilk and buttermilk
is a friend to health. It is cheap
beverage and a good one, and is
an excellent food besides. Its nu-
tritive value is high, two quarts
of buttermilk being equal toabout
one pound of beef steak. 1t has
also a good medicinal effect.
Good buttermilk can be made
artifcially as follows: Add to
every gallon Of skim milk about
half pint of whole milk and
enough starter" or clabber to cur
die the mixture in six or seven
hours at ordinary living-room
temperatures. When the mixture
is thoroughly curdled put it in a
churn and churn it for half an
hour. After churning, cool the
mixture down to we'll water tenn
perature to prevent its getting too
sour. After cooling, strain through
cheese cloth to remove any Jumps
or curd.
This simple process will give
a good, refreshing, tasteful bev-
erage that is both enjoyable and
healthful.

BAGGNG GRAPES.

Grapes can be grown in almost
any section of South Carolina
After the grapes have set, they
should be sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture {see circular No. 25 is,
sued by Clemson College,, and
then be bagged to protect them
from disease, birds and bees. Bag
ging also prolongs the ripening
season and after ripening the
grapes will hang on the vines for
a longer time without spelling.
Strong Manila paper bags (sizes
No. 9 and No. 81 should be used
50 as to resist the weather and the
sharp beaks of birds.
The bag should be slipped over
the bunch and pinned or wired
closely about the stem. A pin hole (;
in the bottom Of the bag will
drain off the rain water.
An inexperienced hand can put
on 500 bags a day, and an expe-
rienced worker 1900. 1t will pay
you to bag your grapes.

Clemson's Graduates.

The one thousand men who
have been graduated from Glenn
son College are holding lucrative
and responsible positions in thlr,,
ty-three States and the District OF
Columbia, in Cuba, Canal Zone,
the Hawaiias, Philippine Islands,
Germany and British East At
rica. Strong evidence of the quail
ifcations of it's agricultural grad
yates is found in the fact that
numbers of them have been given
employment by the United States
Department of Agriculture, while
Clemson engineering men are to
be found in the largest electrical
corporations in America.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1915-06-10

The enrolment has grown from
446 students in 1898 to S34. Orig
inally there were but two courses
of study--now there are 13. In
addition to these regular degree
courses. there is a four weeks
course for farmers and a one-ses-
sion practical agricultural course
extending from October to June
! for men over Is.
Public Service.
But the trustees of Clemson
College have not only organized
an efficient system of fertilizer in
spection and analysis, by which
the farmer gets value received
from the tax he pays, and built
and maintained a great agricul-
tural and mechanical college, but
they have gone step farther than
is required by their compact, with
the people and have sought to re-
turn to those who pay the tax in
the shape of direct service, all that
could be spared over and above
the cost Of operation and build
ing. The public service has grown
as the fertilizer tax has grown.
now reaching an annual total of
over 100000.
Clemson College, with its plant
we'll developed, its patronage as.
sured and overhowing, its.lines of
public service popular and eff
cient, has behind it a creditable
record of achievement, and before
it a future bright with the prom
ise of usefulness to South Caro-
lima.

SUMMER SHORT COURSES
A Pleasant and Profitable Vaca-
ton.

Clemson College is this summer
offering a four weeks course in
agriculture and cotton grading.
The course begins August 9th and
ends September 4th.
The school will be arranged so
that one can get Just what he most
needs. During the first week the
subject of dairying will be taught,
the second week animal husban-
dry, and the third horticulture.
For the last week of the course
agronomy, which includes field
crops, soils, fertilizers, ETC., will be
the chief subject.
Any one interested in agricul-
ture will find it to his advantage
to attend this school when the sub
ject he is specially interested in is
being taught.
A special course for teachers
of agriculture has been arranged
and four weeks spent at Clemson
will result in greatly increased
efficiency. Four weeks instruction
will also be given the winners in
the Boys Corn Club work of the
State.
Clemson College inaugurates
the first summer school in the
South for ministers interested in
rural affairs. A ten-day course
August 9th to August Doth, in
elusive ve-has been specially de-
signed for them.
The entire equipment of the ag-
ricultural department will be at
the disposal of those taking the
four weeks courses. The farm,
dairy, dairy barn and all the lab
oratories will: be open for use IN
instruction.
Popular lectures will be given
each evening by some member of
the faculty or other lecturer prom
inent in State or national affairs.
The college library will be open
during the whole four weeks with
it's 10000 books and many popu-
lar magazines:
Persons wishing to spend a va
cation under the direction of a
competent faculty, with the ad-
vantages of we'll equipped labora-
tories. will find Clemson College
an ideal place for summer.

THE COTTON RED SPIDER.

During dry weather one will
notice reddish areas on leaves OF
certain plants. It is. especially
noticeable on violets. The leaves
soon turn brown and become dry
and brittle. Many people call it
rust, but if one stops to e1amine
into the matter closely he will
find little reddish colored mites
on the under surfaces of the
leaves. The Characteristic web
can also be easily noticed. This is
the.red spider. It is a dry weather
insect, and if not stopped, it often
does serious damage.
The cotton red spider is one of
our most important cotton pests
during June, July and August.
This, so far, appears to be a fav-
orable year, and farmers should
watch their cotton for the first ap-
pearance of this pest. The dam
age occurs in spots in the field.
Poke weed and violet plants
should not be allowed in and
about plantations, while under
brush should be kept down as far
as practicable. 20,
As soon as the first infested
plants are discovered they should
be carefully removed and burned.
Blood red spots will show on the
upper surface of leaves attacked.
If this is not done then the insects
will spread from plant to plant
and in a short time cause the ruin
alton of a large area of cotton
This migration has to take place
on foot, as the insects have no
wings. This makes it at once ap-
parent that to great extent at
least it is everybody's own prob
lem, regardless of his neighbor:s.
Whenever the mfestation
spreads and the infested spots
become larger, one of several
sprays may be given.

THE ONEcYEAR COURSE
IN AGRICULTURE

Realizing that many young
farmers throughout the State
could spare neither the time nor
the money to take a four-year col.
lege course, Clemson College in
augurated three years ago the one
year course in agriculture. Many
a young farmer after finishing his
home school finds it impossible to
take a four-year college course.
The one-year course is intended to
give the simple scientific princi-
Piles upon which good farming
rests. 1t begins October 1st and
ends June 1st.
Its purpose is to take a young
man already g farmer and make
of him better farmer.
The requirements for admission
are that the applicant must be 1s
years of age, must have worked
on the farm for at least three
years and have had common
school education through about
the seventh grade.
During the three sessions in
which the course has been given,
III young men have been enrolled.
These men were between 18 and
80 years old.
In order to assist worthy young
men who have accomplished
something along agricultural
lines, there are 81 scholarships
provided for out of the yearly in
come of the college. These scholar
ships are worth $4,000 per ses-.
sion and free tuition and are
awarded on competitive examina-.
ton.
One feature of the course is that
it seeks to make community lead
ers. In addition to agricul-
tural subjects each student is
given instruction in parliamentary
practice apd gets experience in or
ganizing and presiding over meet
ings, Institutes, etc.
It is hoped that in a few years
these men will become leaders in
all things looking to the good Of
theirconmunities and of the COM
monwealth.
