DAIRYlNG ON BUSINESS BASIS
Farmers Must Use Milk Scales, Tester
and Record sook-keep Account
With Each Cow.

In order to put dairying upon bus1-
ness basis every farmer needs to use
the milk scales, the tester and the rec
ord book. Farmers must come to this
proposition and do 9 little simple book
keeping to know where they are.
Every successful business man has a
ledger to guide him in his transac-
tons
Every dairyman needs to enter &
separate account with each Of his COWS.
so that he may have an indicator to
tell him at the end Of the year just
how much feed each has consumed,
the amount OF milk produced and the
percentage it tests.
Too many farmers OF this country
are still keeping scrub COWS, feeding
and milking them twice each day,
fourteen times each week and sixty
times each month.

FAIR OFFICIALS
DISCUSS PLANS
SIXTEEN COUNTY ASSOCIATIONS
ARE REPRESENTED AT MEET
ING IN COLUMBIA.
J. M. HUGHES is PRESIDENT

Sends Message.

Columbia.-A most successful con.
ference of the South Carolina Feder'
alton of Fairs was held at Columbia
Sixteen fair associations in the state
were represented.
j. NJ Hughes, secretary Of the Or
angeburg Fair association and vice
president of the state association, pre-
sided.
Charles R. Weeks, retiring. presi'
dent of the federation, was absent but
sent his address, which was read at
the meeting by William R. Timmons
OF Rock Hill, secretary of the York
county fair. He said in part:
81 do not believe that circuits ar,
ranged on geographic location will be
successful for three reasons: Each
fair spends a different amount. OF
money for free attractions; different
towns in a geographically arranged
circuit are apt to give very different
support to the fair and to the shows;
and amusement companies rate the
fairs differently.
CAS- you all know, I am for an edu.
cational fair, but I am now ready to
confess that we must be careful not
to depend on educational. features at
the expense of loss in paid admis.
sions, which after all is the life blood
of a fair Here is the principle we
must recognize. Our race came up
from savagery through barbarism,
chivalry, to civilization. No doubt our
race spent more time in the barbaric
stage than we have in the civilized.
The European war shows how. easy
it is to drop back. Science tells US
that every Individual repeats the race
history. The barbarian likes excite
ment, show, glamor, noise, rings in
his nose and bracelets on his ankles.
If we get the people to the fair, that
We may educate them after they get
there, we must appeal to them through
amusements that satisfy their racial
inheritance, of which we all have our
share. Of course it is the duty Of the
fair officers to see that the amuse.

is clean and elevating. This certainly
is problem for your discussion"

More Than 5000 Men Perlshed When
French Cruiser Was Sunk.
London.-In the sinking in the mid
Mediterranean recently Of the French
auxiliary cruiser Providence II, the in
dications are that there occurred the
greatest marine disaster in the worlds
history, so far as loss Of life in con-
cerned.
The French Admiralty reports that
there were nearly 1000 persons on
board, and up to date it has only ac-
counted for $40 Of them. Seemingly,
therefore, more than 5000 men perish
ed, when the former transatlantic
liner went to the bottom. The staff
Of the Third Colonial Infantry Regi-
ment was among the many soldiers
aboard the cruiser. The story of how
the vessel was sunk remains to be
told.
Around the village Of Douaumont
which is in the hands Of the Germans
is raging a battle Of great intensity.
Having captured the village and ex-
tended their lines west and south, the
Germans were forced to give ground
before vicious attacks Of the French
who regained part of the terrain they
had lost. The fighting here is pro-
cee6ing undated.

one time so many senators were

After having maneuvered for two
days to get the resolution IN sacn
parliamentary position that it was
disposed Of without debate the Sen

cussion OF the subject which continued
all afternoon to the disnay Of admin

free expressions Of opinion that the

the Gore resolution with q correction
by the author and substitute by Sen

accomplished the purpose Of the Pres

Presidents friends, who feared they
would produce an effect directly op-
posite to that intended-a notice to
the world that the senate stands be-
hind the President in his demand on
Germany for the rights Of Americans
travelling the seas.
In the house, however, the foreign
affairs committee by a vote Of II to

fully the Presidents wishes. It voted
to report the McElmore warning res

At the White House satisfaction

of the matter reveals the fact that the
charter granted by special act of the

porating the city of Laurens for per.
iod of 25 years. has expired. and so
ia, no general act has been found in
the statutes that would automatically

ative that the mixer be well cared for.
The milk separator should receive
no more careful cleansing than the
mixer. After milking it is a good
plan to dip the teat cups in cool water
and allow the machine to pump water
through the tubes. All parts should be
scrubbed with a brush and washing
soda and then rinsed. The metal parts
may be we'll sterilized with steam and
the rubber parts kept suspended in
solution of II pounds of salt and five
ounces of chloride 'cf lime in 10 gal
Ions of water. The solution will have
to be changed every week, and 1t is
we'll to put in an extra ounce Of chic
ride Of lime every other day.
When proper care is taken, extreme
ly clean milk can be gotten with the
mixers, some dairymen producing
certified milk with them, but on the
other hand, if no care is taken to keep
the machine clean It vii prove to be
a collector of dirt.

URGE CLEANLINESS IN DAIRY
Mechanical Mixer Admits No Dust or
Dirt, but Must Be Kept Scru-

Much is said Of the cleanliness OF
milk. Most people like to use a pail IN
milking that mas as small an opening
as it is convenient to milk into. The
mechanical mixer has no opening
that can admit dust or dirt into the
milk except where the milk is taken
into the tubes These can be packed
with clean cotton if necessary, thus
preventing the entrance Of dirt or
dust.
But the milk taken into the ma
