places the cotton crop Of the county at
not above fifty per cent. of an average
crop. Some crops are better, but
many are worse. Low lands that were
not seriously injured by the dry
weather in April and May and on
which the best cotton crops Of the

TAKING GOOD CARE OF CALF
Young Animal Should Receive more
Attention Than CoW-Severai
Excellent Pointers.

.(By J. M. BURGESS, Associate Professor
of Dairying, Clemson Agricultural Col
lege)
At this season the dairy calf is very
often injured by neglect, which is hurt
full to the dairy farmers interests. The
calf should receive even better care
than the COW.
The small dairyman should kill all
grade bull calves. A pig will give bet
ter returns for the skim milk fed.
Give the calves a good warm stall
with plenty Of bedding. Keep them
up on all cold, wet days. Water them
in the barn or turn them out just long
enough to get water. Do not force
them to drink ice water.
Feed enough grain of any kind ex-
cept cottonseed meal to keep them in
good condition, and if possible provide
a rye or clover patch for grazing. A
well-fed calf will not suffer from lice.
Feed all the good hay calf can eat.

WAR ON PINK BOIL WEEvlL
Fumigation of All imported Cotton Re-
CURED by Order OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

AS a protective measure against the
introduction of the pink boil worm
found In Egyptian and other imported
cotton, the United States department
Of agriculture has issued regulation
recurring fumigation Of all imported
cotton. The danger from pink boil
worm is particularly great, as this in
sect may infest seed accidentally left
in q bale of cotton through faulty GIN
ming. Unless protective measures are
employed the pink boil worm might se-
cure foothold in the United States.
BY experiments the department has
found that hydrocyanic acid gas prop
erly used will kill all insects in bale
without damaging the quality OF the
cotton. The requirement of fumigation
is an addition to the regulation prevf
ously issued requiring mills using for
eign cotton to screen their buildings
completely and to burn all seed found
in foreign bales.

| FIGHTING THE BOIL WEEvIL
Experiments Being Made Near San
Antonio by Agricultural Depart
ment Promise Success.

While the elements seem to have
conspired during the past season rap
idly to extend the invasion of the de-
structive boil weevil farther into the
cotton country Of the South, the de-
partment of agriculture has been put
ting in effective work behind the
lines of advance. says the Washing
ton Star.
1t has succeeded at San Antonio,
Texan area long infested with the
pest-in working out system of cot
ton culture which not only largely
circumvents the activities of the
weevil but which promises greatly
increased yields wherever practiced.
That this is a most timely develop
ment is shown by the fact that in
the space of two weeks last summer,
because Of violent windstorms, the
boil weevil advanced farther east
ward along the gulf coast than 1t
had moved in year before.
The departments newly developed
cultural methods require no addition
al equipment to be purchased by the
farmer and involve not more but &C.
tually less work.
For generations cotton growers
have carefully spaced the plants far
apart on the theory that more space
would permit better development.
The department experts have found,
however, that much Of the develop
ment under such conditions is in veg
etative" branches which bear no
cotton. They have. therefore, DELHI
erately crowded the plants in the
rows. AS a result the vegetative
branches have been restricted and
nourishment has flowed into fruit
branches. Development has been
brought about before the period OF
activity of the weevil and since more
flowers are made to bloom and more
hollis to set in a given row space
Yields have been increased.
In experiments in which cotton was
planted side by side, according to the
old and new methods, the new meth
DDS produced an average of nearly 80
per cent more cotton than the old.

Never can higher return be obtained
for good clean hay than from the dairy
calf.
Keep the calf growing. A hide
bound calf is a high-priced calf and
will not make the best kind OF cow.
Many calves are ruined because they
are kept too crowded. It is better to
raise a few calves well than to have
large number of small, understood.
.half-fed animals.
A dairyman's business ability can be
Judged by the condition of his calves.
Never neglect the young dairy animal.
Indeed, it should receive the best feed
and care of any stock on the farm. Ii
calves are fed by hand be sure that
the pals from which they drink are
well washed and summed every day. A
calf is a baby and Is as easy to Kill
with dirty milk as baby. Take care
of the calves, for they will soon be

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liv-
er, and bowel poisons be-
fore breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except a sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying,
SO limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.-AdV.
