FARMERS ASKED TO
FEED THEMSELVES
Strong Address BY Third District
Congressman. Mr.. Dominick Spoke
Under Auspices of the State War
Council of Defence Today.

OuUSI i1Ucp1SCS VI tuC SSfttC HoA
Council Of Defence Today.
Anderson Mail.
Speaking under the auspicies Of the
State War Council of Defense Con-
gressman Fred H. Dominick addressed
several hundred farmers in the court
house at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. He
had addressed meeting of farmers in
Honea Path this morning and is
scheduled to speak at Bolton at
o'clock this afternoon. Next week he
will speak in Pickens and Oconee
counties.
Congressman Dominick is calling up
on the farmers to feed themselves,
thereby relieving the country OF rails
ing food products for them, which will
result in the conutry's giving more
supplies to the allied governments.
He is asking the farmers to raise
more wheat-to plant at least two
acres of wheat to the plow He is
asking them to raise more corn, more
beef cattle, more hogs and more
Sleeps. He cited federal census fig
ures of stock raised in South Carolina
in the year 1850 when the State had
q populations of only 100000. He
cited the ceosus figures for the year
1910 when the states population had
Increased to 100000. Although the
population had shown an increase OF
300 per cent, the amount Of livestock
raised, including hogs, cattle, sheeps,
ETC., had decreased more than so per
cent.
Congressman Dominick told Of the
cotton growing farmers. The cotton
farmers had been more favored than
the farmers in other sections Of the
country. Cotton is not under federal
control. The federal government
does not regulate its prices.
This staple is the only staple
untoucred by the government He
pointed out the appropriation $40
100000 with which Chilean nitrates
will be bought and sold to the far
mers at cost. He pointed out the
fact that the federal government is
establishing a nitrate plant at cost
of $4,000, 600 to make nftrates from
the air.
All Of these things are being done
mainly for the cotton planters. He
cited the establishment Of the fed
eral farm loan banks, another piece
Of legislation that is helping the cot
ton farmers.
THE government is doing all of
this for you. Is it unreasonable. there
fore for the government to ask You
to feed yourselfs? The government
is not asking you to give anything.
It is merely asking you to relieve
the other part of the county Of
feeding you 80 that our food suppliec
can be extended to our allies and to
our men at the 'front.'" declared hte
congressman.
The speech of the congressman was
most forceful, and was most sensible.
His remarks were listened to with
marked attention, and as result
those who heard him have clear idea !
as to what the state council of de- !
tense is trying to do, and they are
going to do their share in carrying on
the work. Congressman Dominick
urged the farmers to sign the pledge :.
cards to raise more wheat and corn, :
more hogs and beef, ETC., and "above

BABY BEEF PRODUCT
HAS FINE PROSPECT
Even Wisconsin'S High-Priced
Land Offers Good 0ppor-
tunity for the Producer.

'With the present unlimited de-
mand for meat products, the raising
of baby beef, even upon Wisconsin's
high priced land, offers opportunity
for profitable and congenial employ
ment," says John L. Tormey, secre-
tary of the Wisconsin ShOrthOrn Breed
ers' association.
According to Mr.. Tormey, WiscOn-
sin, on account of it's nearness to mar
ket, its good climate, it's abundance Of
forage grain, and good water, offers
excellent opportunities of the baby
beef producer.
"When raising baby beef, it is nee
essary," declares Mr.. Tormey, ITO have
cattle of good beef type, and the pure
bred sire route is the only one which
safely can be taken. By feeding the
youngsters well from calfhood, they
will be ready to market at year and
a half, and will carry more meat with
less care and feed, than raw western
feeders would require to produce the
same returns"

KEEPING TRACK OF
ALL BREEDING EWES
Practice of Utmost Importance
in Handling Purebred Stock
Painting Is Favored.

(By w. C. COFFEY, Illinois Experiment
Station)
Replying to Southern correspond
ent, the only dependable way to de-
termine when a eve is in heat is TO
turn the ram with the flock. In ham
ding a purebred flock, it is not neces-
sary to keep an exact record or the
dates of breeding. In fact, many
lambs are registered as being born IN
the spring of certain year. Some
times the month is stated, but COM
paratively few breeders go to the trou-
BILE of giving the exact date.
For reasons aside from the require
ments for registering in the various
flock associations, it is well for the
owner to have memorandum of about
the time the ewes are due to lamp.
Such a memorandum is great help
to the shepherd in saving the lamp
crop. 1t can be obtained by smearing
paint between the fore-legs OF the ram
every day through the breeding sea-
son. This paint should be of a kind
not Injurious to the wool. Ewes come
in heat about every is days. During
the first Is days the ram may be paint
ed close to the right fore-ieg. Ewes
served during this period will be
marked on the right side of the rump.
For the next 16 days the paint may

FEEDING LAMBS TO
SECURE BEST GAINS
Result of Experiment Conducted
at South Dakota Stati0n-N-
faIfa Hay Best.

By PROF. JAMES W. WILSON. South
Dakota Experiment Station.)
The best gains ever secured at the
South Dakota experiment station III
feeding lambs was in an experiment
to determine the comparative value OF
alfalfa and prairie hay with the same
kind of a grain ration. The grain ra-
ton consisted of a mixture OF lOO
pounds of oats, 100 pounds OF shelled
corn and Is pounds of oilmeal.
Each lot was started on one pound
per head of the mixture daily, and IN
creased until they were receiving TWO
and two-tenths pounds per head OF
grain daily, and what hay they would
eat.
The average daily gain per head Tor
the lot that received the alfalfa nay
was 81 of a pound, while with the lot
that received the prairie hay, the av-
erage daily gain per head was So OF
a pound. These lambs were as near
the same in age and weight as was
possible to get them.

Importation of firSt-class breeding
animals improves the stock of any
country and tends towards uniformity,
according to e. N. Wentworth, profess
sor of animal breeding in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Conformity in any breed is obtained
by an interchange of animals between
different sections of the world" said
Professor Wentworth. Argentina now
buys some Shorthorns from the United
States instead of buying her entire
supply from England, so as to keep
her improved stock equal to that of
this country. The introduction of high
class imported animals into any herd
brings in fresh traits which will often
improve the character of the animals
produced.
Reuains Lost characteristics.
characteristics which have been
lost as a result Of a change of lOca-
ton or modified methods of selection
will be regained in many cases by the
introduction of animals from the origi
nal home of the breed. The first Ayr
shires that were imported into the
United States were fair dairy animals,
but since selection for high production
was not rigidly applied, their offspring
did not progress so rapidly as otter
breeds until importation from Ayr
shire assumed reasonable proportions.
Now the best Ayrshire butterfat record
rivals that of the Jersey"
From the advertising standpoint the
importation of purebred animals is
advantageous, believes Professor Went

ATTENTION TO FEET
OF GROWING COLTS
Little Care Will Prevent Develop
ment of Crooked Ankles and
Unbalanced Action.

By w. L. BLIZZARD, Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
M. College, Stillwater.)
It is we'll to see that the colts feet
are level and the toes comparatively
short. A little attention will prevent
the development of crooked ankles and
unbalanced, action later on. The bony
structure is pliable then, so that much
can be done to remedy faulty action,
which will be impossible after the
bones have hardened and stopped
growing.
1t is absolutely necessary and very
profitable to properly care for the feet
of growing colts. If left to nature,
the foot does not always grow out full
and strong and of the proper shape.
When the feet are left go. they do not
wear properly, the result is that the
feet split, become uneven and very
often the entire leg may be altered in
form. This is one of the reasons for
so many bad-fOoted horses upon the
streets of any city. The blacksmith
may get the blame, but most of the
trouble really began upon the farm.
To grow feet in the proper way, the
colts feet should be looked after at
least once a month.

Making a Seaport.

A gentleman from Vermont was
travelling west in a Pullman when Il
group of men from Topeka, Kan.
boarded the train and began to praise
their city to the Vermonter. telling
him of it's wide streets and beautiful
avenues. Finally the Vermonter be-
came tired and said the only thing
that would improve their city would
be to make it seaport.
The enthusiastic Westerners laughed
at him and asked how they could make
it a seaport, being so far away from
the ocean.
The Vermonter replied that it would
be very easy task.
1.-The only thing that you will have
to do" said he, sis to lay a pinch pipe
from your city to the Gulf of Mexico.
Then if you fellows can suck as hard
as you can blow you will have it sea-
port inside half an hour"

"Boomfit" Means Fifteen.

A strange set of numerals was used
by the elder generation of farmers in
one of our northern dales, especially
for counting sheep, and the procedure
was as follows: A gap was made in
the wall just wide enough to admit
one sheep at a time, and as the sheep
were driven through the farmer would
count them, making notch in his
stick at every fifteen. Phonetically the
numerals sound like "yann. tame,
tether, neither, pip. sax. sane, caterer.
wheeler, dick. yann-er-dick. lancer
dick. teth-er-dfck, mether-er-dick, BOOM
At" "Boomfit" was fifteen, and so a
notch was made in the stick, and the
strange chant began all over again.

bred stock. This belief is not so strong
as it used to be, however. for breeders
are coming more and more to consider
the actual value of an animal.
Inferior animals were formerly sold
for much more than their real worth
because they were imported. Such a
condition still exists to a limited ex-
tent, but at present animals are not
bought because of the place of their
birth but because of their breeding and
individual merit.
Don't Depend on Importation.
AS long as the demand for imported
animals was greater than the supply
many fraudulent pedigrees were used
for animals brought into this country.
This trouble with importations was
greatest previous to 1910. Inspection
of pedigrees of imported animals in
some breeds, begun about this time,
has reduced this evil greatly.
eff the practice of using imported
animals is followed too closely stock
men become too dependent on foreign
breeders for their breeding stock"
said Professor Wentworth. Zone re-
suit in this country has been to scatter
the individuals of a breed so that in
horses, particularly, few constructive
breeding establishments have been
formed. The best animals are often
taken to districts where no purebred
animals are available to mate to them.
This is a disadvantage from the stand
point of constructive breeding but not
from that of the average. Seed stock
should not come from average animals,
however, but from the best herds,
studs and fockS.''

WOMAN'S BIRTHDAY.

No matter if you are the best of
friends of young WOman-even a

ter to hint to her anything regarding
her birthday. A man may have the
best Of intentions, his mind may be
bent upon making her ii gift. She

has got on in years. A very young
girl is proud to declare herself sixteen.
eighteen or twenty, as the case may be.
But when half a dozen years are add
cd to that. she is not so glib of tongue
IN speaking of birthdays. She would
be more pleased at any other sort of
present rather than a birthday gift
Three-fOurthS of the men never
dream of such 81 condition of affairs,
especially if they are sisterless. Not
one man in thousand would dream
OF concealing his age. If man has
been calling upon certain young
lady for some time and he has sent
her tokens of his good will at the
different holidays. he naturally thinks.
There's another kind of gift for me TO
send her--a salty little birthday to-
ken. She certainly has a birthday
sometime in the year" He has heard
that box of bonbOns books or flow

the question. what is the day it falls
on and how old she is. She admits in

He falls into the mistake many a man
has before him of declaring, Il shall
send YOU an American beauty rose TO
commemorate each and everyone of

For days the ship had lain becalmed.
The crew lay about the deck, sunk In
the depths of despair. Suddenly there

And here in my right hand is a match,
my very last match, the only match
left aboard the ship. Watch!"
Trembling with excitement, the crew
watched around him as in breathless
silence he put his pipe to his lips and
struck the match.

SOMEBODY NEEDS YOU.

When q man goes through the world
single for number of years, ne
needn't feel proud of himself. He is
cheating some presumably noble wom-
an out of her affection, cOmpanionshp,
and last, but by no means least his
protection and support.
Tt was the intention of one far wiser
than he that man should mate. lie
knew that there was some poor soul
of q woman who needed man to make
her life complete. 1t is neither wise
nor best for man to live alone. The
first anu greatest need of his life is
for one nearer and dearer than all
others to be close by his side to up
hold his tagging spirits in time of
adversely and sorrow.
No man lives his life through from
bOyhOOd to middle age without encoun-
tering knocks from the cold world.
Even wealth cannot divert them.
When life is young with him, he may
form the wrong kind of attachment.
close friendships with the kind of wOm-
en- who are quite content to coquette
and f1irt with him over long term of
years. But these are the kind of wom-
en- who do not need him. and whom
he does not need. They are taking
up the years of his life, his time and
attention from the one pure, noble
woman somewhere in the universe who
does need him.
Many hold that each person is born
with a soul. To me, everything seems
to indicate that each one is born with
but half soul. The two half souls
must be brought together to form a
beautiful perfect soul-man and his
true mate.
l feel sorry when read of the men
who lived and died bachelors. I do
not wonder that somewhere some
sweet and noble woman is living
Spinster who should have been welded
to him had they but met and recog-
niZed in each other their ideal.
They were like ships that passed
in the night, yet never spoke. The
question with every man should be
who and where Is the one woman in
this world who needs me to fulfill her
destiny? With this thought uppermost
in his heart, he should seek diligently
until he is brought face to face with
her. No man is so great, of so much
Importance in the world. that he
should dodge this issue. 1t is actu
ally his duty to find that woman who
needs him more than all others.
Every man should concern himself
deeply in the question "Who is for
me?" and not set himself firmly against
the holy joys of matrimonial alliance.
Likewise men should fight nobly
against the passion that ofttimes
creeps into their hearts when they
know beforehand it will not result in
marriage.
For every man there is one stead
fast. true wOmanly heart that was in
tended to beat only for him. 1t is a
God-given mission for man to go
forth, search and find. That is the
one woman whose half soul mates
with his and who needs him.
