ing farmers so to arrange he'll Il
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 q
feeder. This is indicated by a short,
broad head, broad muzzle, open o
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 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, fineness 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 it is get
ting too much feed or unbalanced feed.
Another point to be observed is regu-
llarity of feeding and watering. Let
ting a steer go several hours past its
SNNo
feeding time may cause it to gorge it.
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

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 ina
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 rill 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 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 ne could get for
them.
This cooperative marketing plan
has received wide attention outside
the state and a number of leading
farm publications have noticed it fav-
orably. 1t is also considered by the
United States department of agricul-
ture as one of the best methods posi-
BILE of developing the livestock industry
Of the South.
Illustrated posters were sent from
Clemson College la:e 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 ex-
pressing their intention to buy. Banks
are assisting greatly in the work by
lending money on livestock and help

LOWNDESVILLE 4

Last Friday, the 18th inst, the
High School exercises in this place
were suspended till the 3rd of Jan
uary. 1916. Prof. Fender and wife
and baby went to Bamberg to spend
the Christmas holidays. Mrs: 10

MIR. Roscoe Horton, a Lowndesville
boy, now President of the Georgia
Military Institute, came over to his
old home last Monday to spend a
few hours, but was here long enough
to come to see his old friend, the
writer. We are glad to know that ne

Mrs. W. w. Thompson and D.. u.
Huckabee went to Anderson Monday
to do some necessary Christmas shop
ping.
Dr.. J. w. Lawrence went down to
his former home, McBee, to do some
Christmas visiting.
Mr.. Amos Nixon, who left here
some time ago for Anderson, last
Saturday had the misfortune to lose
a little boy several years ola. ne
was left alone in a oom with a hre
burning in it, and some one entered

formed the funeral service. ,
On last Tuesday, a large and
mournful crowd of loving friends
and relatives collected at the NC
Gala home to pay the last sad TIL
butte of respect and love to Mrs. l.
n. McCalla, who despite the best
medical attention, and the kindest
night and day service loving hands
could give her, passed away.
At about 2 p. M, the funeral ser,
vices were conducted in the crowded
home by Rev. J. G. Chandler, her
former pastor, who was here on a
visit. He was assisted in the sad
services by Rev. W. K. Meadors, pre-
sent pastor of this charge, and Rev.
S. c.. Campbell, pastor of the Bap-
fist church in this place. After
these services closed, the remains
were borne to the McCalla cemetery,
nearby, and given up to their silent
home. Mrs. McCalla was born and
reared at the old Speed Home, where
she spent her entire life of nearly
sixty-nine wears. But few If any,
ever received as much homage as
was paid to her. She through a
long life of more than half a cen
tury, was constantly doing deeds of
kindness, which daily and hourly
brought cheer and gladness to the
d~espcndent, and many times has she
relieved the wants of the needy, all
of which will be remembered with
lasting gratitude. A long life spent
in the service of the Master gives to
US left behind the best of hopes as
to reward.
Rev. J. C. Chandler, who conduct.
ed the services, said in course OF
his remarks, that that service then
being held, was the fourth ore that
he had held of the McCalla family,
in the McCalla home during his four
years p~astorate of the charge here.
