TIE cow AND HER PRODUCT
Clemson College Weekly Notes for
Farmer and Dairyman -

-
A pure bred cow should have pure
bred attention.
Now is the time to select the
lard for that Bermuda grass pasture.
Bermuda grass sod should be
broken every four years. One acre
of good Bermuda will pasture two
or more cows.
The dairy cow should have good
pasture, not an exercise ground.
An old field grown up in broom
sedge and old field pines is not a
good pasture. :,
Each week several thousand
pounds of country butter are ship
ped from the upper courties of
South Carolina to the renovatL.g
factories of the North. The far
mers receive from Is to 20 cents
in trade for such butter.
Each week several thousand
pounds of renovated butter shipped
into the lower counties of South
C.: olina and sold for 35 to d cents
per pound.
There are ways of stopping this.
One of them is to join the cooper
ative creamery movement Of Glenn
son College. The Dairy Division
of the college will furnish all de-
sired information.
The last quart of milk given by
a cow is much richer than the first
quart. The moral is easy to read.
Milk the cow dry every time.
Dehorning a cow does not check
her milk flow.
The good dairy cow Pays the
highest price for a farmers hay and
grain. Why not sell these products
to her? She will never refuse
them and she will always return a
profit if you will do your part.
The dairy cow is a machine for
converting feed into milk and but
ter. The machine is improbable
unless the value of the milk is great
er than the cost of feed and u2-
keep. How about your COW?
Use the curry comb and brush on
the dairy cow every day. 1t pays.
There is more money in feeding
a steer than in feeding poor dairy
cow, and much less work.
Every pure bred cow does not
make money. Keep records and
see if every one of your COWS pays
for its keep.

SHERIFF NEUFFER
How to Arrest a Man With the Help
of Big Word, a Big Pistol is the
Vogue Now.

Below we publish story taken
from Memorabilia, an Anectodal
"reminiscences of Columbia, South
Carolina" by Julian A. Selby,
which will be of interest to the many
friends of DR.. G. A. Neuffer. The
Sheriff was a cousin of the doctor
and must have been as bright as he
is, to be able to think of such word
in such a hurry.
Our old friend, Sheriff Charles
Neuffer, had a warrant for a man
charged with some trifling ofense,
who, when he found that officer was
after him, determined to give him a
long chase. Both were mounted,
but the offender had the better horse
and kept just far enough ahead of
him to annoy him. He took the
Gamers Ferry Road, and when
Sheriff Neuffer got in calling dis
tance, he would let off a volly of
rough remarks to the discomforted
officer. Finally they reached the
boundary line between Sumter and
Richland, when the delighted law
breaker drew rein, and addressed the
officer as "Bull headed Dutchman"
declaring that he was now beyond
his jurisdiction and dared him to at
tempt to arrest him. "Guess not"
replied the angry Sheriff, GIVE got
'Slapdamicus' for you and you'll
come, I bet" "The devil you
have" was the surprised response,
and he returned to Richland dis
trict, quietly submitting to service of
the warrant. whats a Slapda-
micus?" inquired a curious individ-
ual, who had listened to the Sheriff's
account of the arrest. Damned if
I know" said Sheriff Neuffer, 81
thought the big word would scare
him into coming back, and I had no
more trouble with him."

lar with men is made of Irish potatoe

used for supper, at dinner time cut
the onion very thin and let stand in
vinegar until ready for use. Cut cold
boiled Irish potatoes very thin, add
the onion from the vinegar, season
and pour over it dressing made of
oil and the vinegar in which the
onion has been standing. A secret
of we'll mixed French dressing is to
thoroughly dissolve the salt in the oil
before adding vinegar very slowly.

1t would be well If some OF us would
ask ourselves how certain lines Of
treatment would suit US. All animals,
man included, have much in common.
A single trial with a purebred
dairy bull will convince any man
that like will produce like, and that
the progeny will inherit the form and
characteristics from the parent that
possesses the strongest blood lines.
A purebred bull will exert q strong
er influence upon the progeny when
mated with the cows of mixed breed
ing than when he is mixed with pure.
breds or higher grades.
1t is a great mistake to put the
large breeds of cattle on poor, scant
pasture. Give them a good field to
Craze in.
There is no middle course or stand
still period to calf raising. Each day
the calf is not gaining it is losing.
At the end of two years of proper
care and feeding we shall be reward
ed with an animal of healthy appear
ance, with a well developed frame
and an abundance of flesh and fat
one that is capable of withstanding
the burdens of maternity, and capable
OF producing large quantities of milk
when put to the test of the dairy.

REFINED PROCESS
OF FRUIT GROWING
Where Market Demands Fancy
Article Bagging Grapes Will
Prove Profitable.
(By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.) }

Bagging grapes is one of the more
refined processes Of fruit growing
that every man shOnld test for him.
self. There are various conditions to
be considered upon which it's profit
ableness depends.
Does your market demand a fancy
article and is it willing to pay for it
Do you suffer much loss from the
birds? In some districts they are very
destructive and scarecrows are not
OF much avail. Rot, too, is to be
considered, though some growers as
serts that bags are not a preventive of
this disease.
II grapes are bagged at the proper
time, which is soon after blooming,
they certainly will not rot unless the
canes are already full of rot spores,
and after the vineyard has once been
thoroughly cleared of the infection
1t should not be again easily affected
If the fruit is kept covered.
Bagging does not appear to be re-
sorted to throughout the West, but in
the East with its higher-priced mar
to bag their entire crop. The COM
mon paper bag in use at the grocery is
usually employed, in the two-pound
size.
A thousand bags should not cost
more than rs cents. The usual way is
to fasten them with a common pin.
Do not pin them around the stem
of the bunch, but over the cane from
which cluster descends. The edges
Of the bag should be folded down and
them pinned securely so as to exclude
the rain as well as the insects.
If this be done carefully, only an in
significant number of bags will be
lost during the rest Of the season.
Women, with their trained fingers, are
the best for this work, when they can
be obtained. A skillful hand will pin
on a thousand bags a day.
Another great advantage in bagging
is that 1t is one of the best ways to
preserve the grape in its ripe condi-
tion. Many varieties will remain
fresh and sound until frost, and even
then be cut off, laid away in a cool
place and kept still longer. They
have been kept until Christmas.
The red varieties seem to be the
thinnest skinned and most liable to
crack and to puncture. The white
kinds are of all the least molested by
birds, which seem to think they are
not ripe. The blacks are the first to
be attacked.

DynamItIno Molea.

1t has recently been discovered that
dynamite can be used as an effective
and convenient means of getting rid OF
moles. ground mice and other small
destructive animals which burrow into
the ground and destroy the roots OF
plants.
An inch or two of a 40 per cent dyna.
mite stick can be wrapped in paper or
cloth and provided with a fuse but no
detonator. A charge of this kind
should be stuck down into each bur
row and some loose dirt packed around
the fuse after 1t is lighted. No explo
sion will result from tine dynamite
when used in this way. It will burn
slowly, filling the hole with poisonous
gases which will kill the animals. This
method has recently been put into eff
feet upon large California ranch. The
moles, which frequently ruin the ap
pearance Of city terrace. can also be
conquered by this method at the
trifing cost of two cents for each hole

The breeding of dairy cattle is a
matter surrounded with numerous
difficulties, rendered all the more un-
certain and tantalizing from the ar
tifcial conditions in which the cat
tie are reared.
Some of our highest producing dairy
COWS have been developed along milk.
producing lines until they are in real
ity an unnatural deformity.
Every well-bred COW that is kept ON
the farm by the very law of its being
is ready and able to assist in giving
additional value to all crops grown on
the farm if we only surround her
with the right conditions.
Buying cows and selling them as
fast as they stop giving milk will
never build up herd of high-produc-
ing dairy cows.
The calf from the moment of its
birth should be kept in thrifty grow
ing condition. Letting an animal run
down is a great and permanent loss.
1t is something lost forever, that no
amount of after care or feeding can
regain.
When the calves are playful it is
an indication of thrift and health.
1t is essential that we attend to the
comfort and bodily ease Of our COWS.
