FEEDING THE WORKING MARE
She viii Require More Care and Feed
Than One Turned Into Pasture
Colt Must Exercise.

Where the services of the mare are
required for farm work. the colt should
be shut in paddock or in large box
stall.
Western authority on horse rails
ing says the mare that is worked while
nursing foal will require more care
in her feeding and general handling
than the one that Is turned out to pas
ture with nothing to do save raise the
colt. The working mare must be fur
nished not only with energy sufficient
for her to keep up her end of the
work, but she must at the same time
nourish another and growing body.
The crushed oats and bran given the
colt will aid greatly in keeping up
his growth and development under
such conditions.
AS soon as he has passed his first
weeks of life the colt should be given
ample opportunity for exercise in a
roomy lot. Where he has the run Of
pasture at his mothers heels the re-
quirement of exercise will take care of
itself.

ATTENTION TO WORK HORSES
Animal Should Be Fed Right to Secure
Greatest Amount Of Labor
From Them.

To secure the greatest amount of
work from the horse requires that it
be fed right. There is big difference
in the feeding of horses and cattle.
The horses stomach holds only a few
gallons, while cows paunch has a
capacity of over barrel. which means
that the horse must be fed more con-
centrated food. 1t also takes more en-
ergy to digest roughage than grain.

now better equipped preparatory
school in the State than Carlisle.

modate about twenty-five more boys
than heretofore, and the prospects
are that nearly every room will
be filled during the coming session.

to the faculty for this session. Prof
w. w. Daniel has been elected to fill
this position. Prof Daniel is grad:
uate of Wofford, and comes to Car,

TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH.
Plans Made for Fall and Winter Cam
paign.

The forces of Trinity Methodist
church are being organized for the
fall and winter work. Apart from
the interest attaching to all the regu-
lar services and work of this congre-
CATION, a series of special events of
more than usual interest is being ar
ranged.
First of all, next Sunday, Septem-
Der "a, will be observed as "Voca-
tion Day. This day will be distinc-
lively young peoples day." "Choos-
ing Life Work. will be the pastors
theme for the morning, with special
reference to Christian service in all
life's vocations. Special effort will
be made that day through the Sun

women in training classes for Chris
tian service.
Sunday evening the services will
be especially in behalf of the stu
! dents in the upper grades Of the
Bamberg graded school and Carlisle
school. The exercises will be most
interesting, consisting of special mu-
sic by the young peoples chorus, and
short talks of welcome and inspira-
! tion from representatives of the
churches, the town, the trustees, and
! the faculties.

Mrs. Henderson EntertainS.

On Friday afternoon Mrs. E. H.
Henderson entertained at party CIV
en- to announce the engagement and
approaching marriage Of her sister,
Miss Ruth Byrd, to Mr.. George Stake
ly Smith, of Atlanta. The elegant
new home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hender-
son formed fair setting for love-
ly scene. Many guests from the city
and out of town were present and
were received at the door by Mrs.
Henderson, assisted by Mrs. J. A..
Byrd, mother of the bride-elect, Miss
Lalla Byrd, and Miss Ottawa Easter
ling. Goldenrod and pink roses were
effectively banked and artistically US
ed throughout the rooms, and vases
of cut flowers were placed in avail
able positions.
The guests were invited to table
No. one, where quotations on love
from familiar authors we're given,
the name of the author to be sup
piled. Progressing, they were taken
to table No. two. Here were hearts
rent asunder-the intent being to
find who was most skilfull at healing
broken hearts. At table No. three
the names of famous lovers were CIV
en-, leaving one of them to be sup
piled by the guests. A lovers knot
engaged tho time and fingers at table
No. four. Matrimony being reserved
for the last table, the contest led into
making the greatest number of
words from the word "matrimQny.
After the games, the guests were in
vited into the dining room. Here
the decorations. were truly lavish,
hundreds of hearts being festooned
about the room, while BUTTERFLIES of
every description congregated about
the lights and perched on pictures or
mantle.
The place cards were linked hearts
holding names of guests and on the
reverse side names of the bride-elect
and bridegroom-elec with the date
set for the marriage. When these
significant suggestions were confirm
ed by the hostess, the guests we're
unanimous with congratulations and
best wishes. A tiny sack of pink
satin containing rice was attached to
the place card by pink ribbon, the
rice suggesting the good luck shower
which followed the feast. Heart
shaped boxes of bonbons, on which
Cupid poised, were appropriate ia
vors.
A salad course and nectar were
served, followed by ices in rose-shap-
ed cups, with angel cake. A brides
book was presented the honoree by
the hostess to be used for register
ing the guests at the wedding. Many
attractive costumes were worn on
this occasion; Miss Byrd's gown being
of pearl grey crepe meteor, brighten
ed with touches of pink. Her flow
ers were pink roses, all according
with the general color note.
