insect powder, or apply a mixture of
two parts vaseline and one part mer-
curial or blue ointment, about the size
of a pea, one inch below the vent
Of the bird, rubbing the mixture light

An application Of this ointment two

fowls free from lice. Where insect
powder Is used, it should be applied
three or four times a year, or oftener

BIRDS SPREAD HOG CHOLERA
Pigeons Flying From One Farm to An
other Carry Germs Of Dread Dis
ease on Their Feet.

Unconfined pigeons flying from
farm to farm frequently carry the
germs Of hog cholera on their feet
and infect a neighborhood which is
then at a loss to understand how the
outbreak Of cholera came about. The
same is true of buzzards. On several
occasions when Investigations of
sources of hog cholera infections in
this state were made by q veterinarian
from Clemson college, the buzzard was
found to be to blame. Statistics pub
lished in another state show that
pigeons are responsible for about 20
per cent Of the spread Of hog cholera
and it is estimated that they caused
in this way in 1915 about fifteen mil
lions of dollars damage in the United
States.-Clemson College Bulletin.

0NE-CR0P SYSTEM NOT SAFE
Objections Given by Bradford Knapp
at Conference Of eankers-0iver-
sification 10 Remedy.

Seven objections to q one-crop sys-
tenn of agriculture are set forth in Cir
cular No. Sc of the Office Of the sec
rotary, which is a reprint Of an ad-
dress delivered by Bradford Knapp at
a conference of southern bankers.
The reasons why one-crop system Is
unsafe are stated by Mr.. Knapp to be
as follows:
"First-Because the system de-
ponds upon market and crop condi-
lions of the one crop alone. Failure
of crop or failure of market alike
bring serious disaster.
"Second-Because it fails to provide
for the maintenance Of soil fertility.
"Third-Because it fails to provide
for a sufficient livestock industry to
consume the waste products of the
farm and make its waste lands pro-
ductive.
"Fourth-Because it does not pro-
vide for a system Of farm manage
ment under which labor, teams, and
tools may be used to the fullest advan-
tage.
"Fifth-Because 1t brings return In
cash, but once a year instead of turn
ing the money over more than once
q year.
"Sixth-Because it does not pro-
duce the necessary foods to supply
the people upon the farm and keep
them in health and strength.
"Seventh-It limits knowledge, mar.
rows citizenship, and does not foster
home building, but does encourage
commercial farming"
The remedy for these evils Is diver
sification. Diversification, however
means something else than a change
from growing cotton to growing some
thing else. One Louisiana man, who
believed that he was a convert to d.
versification, planted 500 acres of to
matoes. In other instances farmers
turned from cotton to corn and had
nothing else for sale in the fall. This
of course, is not diversification at all

SERVES AS PRIVATE
SCION OF ITALIAN ROYAL HOUSE
IN THE RANKS.
Duke Of the Abruxzl's HaIf-6rother, In
Disgrace, Holds Humble Position
In the Armies That HE Coun-
try Has Mustered.

Though almost every royal house In
Europe is represented at the front.
ltaly's alone can boast of q member
who is a simple soldier. fighting among
the rank and file.
Umberto, count Of Salemni, shares
the lot and the labors of peasants and
workingmen. He is stationed at Vo-
ghera for the moment, in. the regiment
of cavalry guides. His regiment will
soon be dismounted and 60 into the
trenches.
Then this scion of the house of Sa-
voy will tramp side by side with the
rankers and share their trench life on
the exposed and difficult Italian out
posts on the dangerous plateau called
the Carso.
The count is a son Of Prince Anne
deo, late duke of Aosta, who died 16
years ago. His mother, the dukes
second wife, is. Princess Bonaparte.
She lives in Turin, and her son, in his
soldiers uniform, is allowed to visit
her on Sundays, when, with the other
men of the troop, he has several hours
leave.
His half-brothers are Emanuel. duke
of Aosta; Victor, count Of Turin, and
Louis, duke Of the Abruzzi, once the
reputed fiance Of Miss Katherine FL
kins. The duke of the Abruzzi now
commands Italy's feet in the Adri-
attic.
The count of Salemni is the only
son Of Princess Letitia. He has been
in disgrace for several years, though
the rea, story IL known to only the
most intimate courtiers. While at the
Naval college he committed some
youthful indiscretion, of which even
his fellow cadets had but vague idea,
and the king sent him into exile.
For several years he wandered
through Europe, spending months in
Russia, the Balkans, Portugal and
Spain. Always shy and retiring, never
knowing what to do with his great
stature and his hands, splendid lin
guist, simple in manners, he became
q favorite in Russian society.
When the war broke out he wanted
to serve his country. He begged the
king to allow him to return.
"Yes," came the answer, but you
must serve as a simple soldier II you
come back to Italy,"
He came back and was drafted into
the cavalry. guides and sent to the
front. When the regiment returned
for few weeks he went with it to
the little town Of Voghera, its head
quarters. He is now returning with
1t to fight; but this time the regiment
fights on foot.
The duke Of Salemni performs the
same duties as his humber comrades
and has become 50 popular that theil
affection quite embarrasses him some
times. For instance, when he was go
ing to visit the headquarters of an
other regiment in Voghera they called
out a guard Of honor to receive him
whats the meaning of this?'
shouted an officer who happened in.
The count murmured that he sup
posed it was for him. He asked hi
comrades never to do such a thing
again.
While at the front he distinguished
himself by GOODNESS In handling {
quick-firing gun. On one occasion
when the men around him were hare
pressed, he saved the situation by raj

sILAGE IS CHEAP R0UGHAGE
Three Tons Will Feed Dairy Cow
Thirty Pounds Day for Six
Months-Cost Varies.

Silage is the cheapest rough feed
that can be produced. Its cost varies
some in different sections and on Diff
ferent farms. but farmers who have
silos find that after charging up the
rental Of the land. the cost of grow
ing the corn, the filing of the silo and
wear of machinery, their silage costs
them from two dollars to two dollars
and half per ton. When we figure
that three tons of silage will feed q
dairy COW 30 pounds a day for six
months, 1t is eaeily seen that no other
roughage can be produced 80 cheaply.

yet it is far from uninterest-
ing in its natural features and the
life of its inhabitants. Though it
is somewhat bigger than the con-
thent of Australia, of its vast area
only about $4,000 miles, on the west
coast, are habitable. The population
of the country consists of about II 900
Greenlanders, 200 government serv-
ants, and the workmen at the cryolite
and copper mines, to the number Of
200 in summer and 100 in winter. In
addition to these numbers there is the
400 population of the only east coast

The Greenlander is a cross between
the Eskimo and whalers and sealers

of Greenlander. Some of these Green

lower types of the hairy Ainu of North
Japan.
The trade of Greenland is practically
a Danish government monopoly and
consists mainly of whale, seal and
shark oil, the ivory Of the walrus, blue
fox skins, ermine furs and the elder
duck. Communication is entirely by
water as no travel of any kind is pos
sible on land. There are no domestic
animals except for a few .half-wild
