PLANT CORN FOR SII,OS NOW

Judging by the number OF in
Huiries reaching the Extension Di-
vision OF Clemson College, there is
greater interest in the construction
l. of silos this year than in any pre-
vious year. Seventy-three silos were
built in the state in 1915.
Present indications are that this
number will be doubled in 1916. A
large number of the silos built this
year will be of concrete. The far
merS are learnmg that this is the
cheapest silos in the long run.
y common mistake among the
stockmen who have built silos In
this state in the past years has been
failure to plant sufficient corn to
I'LL the silos. Out OF the seventy
tn" construction Of silo should
three silos built last year. not more
than dozen We're entirely filled the
first year Farmers contemplating
begin now TO plant corn with which
to fill the silo. Corn and sorghum
are the best silagc crops and sor-
Rhum should be used only where
sufficient corn cannot be provided.
Any farmer who will write to the
Extension Division, Clemson Col
iege. can get a bulletin giving di-
rections for planting. working and
cutting corn and other crops for the
.silo and full bill OF materials and

ONIONS IN MILK
COWS Sh"uid BE Kept Out of Pas
lures Infested With Onions
Previous to Milking

For the next few weeks there will
be much trouble with the COWS get
ting wild onions in the pasture. Tho
flavor of the onion is passed off
with the breath Of the COW and in
her milk. Butter made from such
milk carries strong taste OF onion
and cannot be sold on the regular
market.
There is no way the farmer can
get the odor out of the milk or
butter. None of the patent stock
foods or any other powder or rem
edy is of any value and so no money
should be wasted on them. Keeping
the cow away from the onions Is
the only satisfactory way. II the
COW is kept away from the onions
six or eight hours before milking
almost all OF the ordor will have
passed out of her system and very
little will be noticed in her milk.
This method will allow the cow to
use the pasture for two or three
hours after the morning milking.
Where the grass is thick the COW
viii not usually bite the onions.

STEVENSON ON RURAL CREDIT,

Mr. W. f. Stevenson, candidate for
congress from this district. calls at-
'ehtioh TO the fact that the Demo
cratic, the Republican and the Pro
sressive parties all endorse RURAL
CREDITS in their platforms in 1912.
Congress has passed general
banking bill for mercantile purpos-
es ana boasts that it is the greatest
In the world. Why did they forget
the party pledge of all of the par
ties to take care of the farmer? Is
the law now proposed calculated, if
passed, to relieve the need?
He will have more to say later
about this proposed law.-(Adv.D

Tried Various Kidney
Remedies But Only One
Proved Reliable

1t is with great pleasure that I
write these lines of praise for your
wonderful kidney and bladder reme-
dy. L had kidney trouble so bad I
became very much alarmed. / had
tried various kidney remedies heard
OF but without relief. 1 was about
discouraged of ever being helped,
when. one day 1 picked up book
containing testimonials OF people
who had been helped and cured of
their kidney trouble by the use of
DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root. so 1 de-
cided to try it and 1 owe my present
good health to the wonderful cura-
tive power of Swamp-Root sin.

means of restoring many other suff-
erers of kidney and bladder troubles

infancy"
Another picture:
at was bitter cold day in February
and about eleven in the morning when the
field worker knocked at the door. Used
as she was to sights of degradation and
misery, she was hardly prepared for the
spectacle within. The father, strong,
healthy, broad-shouldered man, was sit
ting helplessly in corner. The mother,
pretty woman still, with remnants of
ragged garments about her, sat in chair,
the picture of dependency. Three chill
dren, scantily clad and with shoes that
would barely hold together, stood about
with dropping jaws and the unmistakable
look Of the feeble-minded. Another child,
neither more intelligent nor better clad,
was attempting to wash a few greasy
dishes in cold water. The deaf boy was
nowhere to be seen. On being urgently
requested, the mother went out of the
room for him, for he was not yet out of
bed. In few moments she returned
with the boy. A glance sufficed to

his youth he had been indiscreet and had
done that for which he was sorry. And,
being sorry, he may have thought it was
atoned for, as he never suffered from it any
serious consequences.

about the circumstances, could not have

Undoubtedly it was only looked at as a
sin because it was a violation of the moral
law. The real sin, of peopling the world
with a race of defective degenerates who
would commit sin thousand times over,
was doubtless not perceived or realized.
1t is only after the lapse of six generations
that we are able to look back, count up,
and see the havoc that was wrought by
that one thoughtless act"
