is picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and
clean the fruit by placing it in a
strainer and pouring water over it
until it is clean. Pack the product
thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans
until they are full; use the handle
of a tablespoon. wooden ladle, or
table knife for packing purposes.
Pour over the fruit boiling water
from kettle, place rubbers and caps
in position, partially seal if using
glass jars, seal completely if using
tin cans. Place the containers in
a steriliZed vat such as a wash
boiler with false bottom, or other re-
ceptacle imprOvised for the purpose.
If using a hot water bath outfit, pro-
cess for 80 minutes; count time af-
ter the water has reached the boil
ing point; the water must cover the
highest jar in cOntainer. After ster-
ilizing remove packs, seal glass jars,
wrap in paper to prevent bleaching
and store in a dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it
will improve the product to plunge
the cans quickly into cold water i'm
mediately after sterilization. When
using steam pressure Gamer in
stead of the hot water bath, steri-
lie for 10 minutes with five pounds
of steam pressure. Never allow the
pressure to go over 10 pounds.

Guernsey Cattle-Drect From the Island to Meeker County

growing demand for them over here. |
The American Guernsey Cattle
Club was the first club of any Ger
tain breed to take up yearly records
of dairy COWS. This club realized
that the only reliable record of
COW was a whole years work. Most
any COW can be pampered and fed
to make a large seven day, or even
a thirty day record but the profitable
COW is the one who is persistent
enough to keep up a good milk flow
for twelve months at a stretch.
The Guernsey COW has held worlds
records oftener and longer than any
other breed, although at the present
time, the hOnOrs are held by another
breed.
The Guernseys are really wonder
full animals to adapt themselves to
climatic conditions. The climate of
the extreme northern part of the
state seems to agree with them equal
ly as we'll as the climate of the south
ern portion.
In size the Guernsey is a medium
dairy breed, much larger than some
of the popular breeds, but not as
large as others. The COWS average
from 1000 to 400 pounds and the
bulls from 1900 to 220O pounds when
matured
There is, however, one practice
that works to the detriment of the
popularity of the breed in many Sec
tions of the country and that is, the
Guernseys are so few in number and
so popular that any kind of a scrub
animal that has any semblance of
fawn is often spoken of as a Guern-
sey grade. The facts are the animal
may not have drop Of Guernsey
blood in her veins and many thus
get a poor impression of the breed
thinking these animals thus men
toned are fair representatives of the
breed.
Some of the most favorable points
about the Guernsey are: Quality Of
prOductiOn-the finest in the world;
economy Of production-produci
butterfat for less per pound than
any other breed. Also their quiet
and gentle temperament
Five years ago there were not over
a dozen pure bred Guernseys in this
county. Today there are $50 pure
bred and some 80 grades. These are
distributed among some thirty or
forty breeders.
Last winter Olson & Krans shipped
in II pure breds from Wisconsin and
placed them on their farms north of
town. On the 28th of last May two
carloads-35 bred heifers-were
shipped in direct from the island. The
accompanying photo is one taken of
this shipment. These animals were
distributed among the breeders as
follows:

Grove 3, F. B. Hardy 3, Alfred An

No solecisms are more frequent

A person who has not been trained
to make the proper distinction be-

Prosperity is too good for some

their lives inside out and cracks
their brains in twain.

said.
How will you do it," asked the
contractor
.Oh. I'se a gambler. boss. a crap

Just What He Wanted.

The old gentleman in his heart did
not object to the young gentleman as
a son-in-law, but he liked to raise
objections and then reach an agree
ment as though comforting a favor.
When the young man called he was
ready for him.

most before the suitor could COM
mence, you want me to let you mar
ry my daughter, do you?'
The young man very coldly re-
sponded:
II didn't say so, did -"
But" the old gentleman gasped,
you were going to say So.
Who told you l was?" inquired
the applicant, seeing his advantage.
But you want me to let you mar
ry her, don't you?"
NO"
MOI" exclaimed the old gentle
man, almost falling off the chair.
"That's what I said.
Then what the mischief do you
want?'
Il want you to give your consent.
replied the youth pleasantly. Il am
going to marry her, anyhow, but we
thought your consent wouldn't be a
bad thing as a start.
1t took the old gentleman minute
to realize the situation. When he did
he put out his hand.
Shake hands. my boy. said he.

sure you'll do frst-class.

TO SUCCEED WATSON.
Graduate of Clemson State Commits
sioner Of Agriculture.

Columbia, Oct. 31.--Governor
Manning today appointed A. c. Sum-
mers State Commissioners Of agri-
culture, commerce and industries, to
succeed the late E. ]. Watson. Mr.
Summers has been chief chemist of
the department since the formation
Of the chemistry bureau May Is,
1910. He is graduate of Clemson
College, class of 1908, and a native
of Springfield, Orangeburg county.
Although only thirty-two years of
age, Mr. Summers has made a repu-
taticn as a chemist and his associ-
ates say that he is thoroughly ia
miliar with the needs and workings
of the department over which he is
appointed. Shortly after his gradu
alton he went to Perdue University,
Layfette, Ind, as assistant State
chemist, and was called from that
institution by Col. Watson to take
charge of the division of chemistry
at it's inception. Mr.. Summers also
is associate professor of chemistry at
the University of South Carolina.
Governor Manning stated today
that Mr. Summerss appointment is
temporary and the new commission
or only accepted the position as such.
The appointment, explained the Chief
Executive, is made temporary in or
der that a thorough study of the de-
partment might be made, incident to
certain recommendation that the
Governor proposes to make to the
General Assembly. The Governor is
of the opinion that the department is
overloaded and that the activities Of
certain of it's divisions overlap. This
condition, he thinks, should be recti
fed.
In making the appointment Cover
nor Manning today issued the follow
ing statement:
I'm view of the fact that | am go
ing to recommend to the General As
sembly certain changes in the work
of the department, and in view Of the
fact that the department as now or
ganized and operated needs a head
in order to transact its routine busi-
ness, 1 have decided 20 appoint Mr..
A. C. Summers as commissioner of
agriculture, commerce and industries,
with the understanding that the ap-
pointment is temporary. Mr.. Sum-
mers will conduct the department
during this emergency.
"Mr. Summers has had many
years experience in the department
and is familiar with it's work.

GREENEILLE BOY IS PRISONER.
Wrote Recently He Was Eager To Get
Into First ''Scrap.''

Greenville, Nov. 3.-Daniel B. Gal
lagher, among the first twelve Ameri-
can prisoners taken by the Germans,
was extensively known here, where
he lived for a few months before
enlisting here on January 23, 1917.
His sister, Miss Annie Gallagher, who
holds a position with the local tele~
phone company, was the only relative
here, the rest of the family being in
Blocton, Ala.
Young Gallagher came to Green
vile the latter part of last year, and
though he had been here only few
months when he enlisted in the army
and was sent to a training camp at
Columbus, Ohio, had made number
of friends in the city.
Heard From Him Sunday.
The last letter from her brother
was received by Miss Gallagher only
last Sunday, and said that the writer
was feeling we'll and enjoying life,
but eager to get into the first scrap
with the Germans, adding that all the
Americans in France were eager to
get into action. Miss Gallagher was
visibly affected by news of her broth
er's capture, saying that although
she realized that her brother was
safer than on the firing line, she knew
he would have preferred to remain
in action.
Young Gallagher is now eighteen
years of age. He impressed the To-
cal recruiting officers as being fine
specimen of physical and moral man
hood, stating when enlisted that he
did not care to stay at home while the
country was at war and asking to be
enlisted in that branch likely to see
foreign service first. He has a broth
er in training at Camp Wheeler, Ma
con, Ga.

SPENDING MONEY IL FRANCE.
Things the United States Has to DO
There.

Doubtless the reader, when he
picks up his newspaper and sees
that the war department is asking
for hundreds of millions of dollars,
wonders what it is all about. He can
understand the cost of raising and
euuipping armies, the cost Of trans
porting them and the cost Of giving
them rifles, big gunsand ammunition.
But he is not apt to think how much
more necessary, especially when an
army is fighting on foreign soil 5000
miles away from America.
Here is what some of these appro-
priations mean: In sending our ar
mics to France, we are trying to put
lust as little burden upon the French
people as possible. This means that
every pound of food, every gun, every
shell, every cartridge, will, if possible
be sent over there from our Amer
lean supply depots.
Somewhere in France at the port OF
entry designated for the American
army. this country will have to build
big piers to accommodate our ships.
It will have to erect tremendous
warehouses in which the goods un-
loaded from the shipsswill be stored.
From this port up to the part Of
the trenches American troops are ul-
timately to occupy, the United States
engineer regiments will build a net
work of railways to carry supplies
and men back and forth. We can't
afford to cripple the efficiency of the
French armies by using French rail-
roads. These must be left clear for
French needs.
1t will be the same thing with auto
mobile roads. We will build our own.
At various points we will have supply
depots near the firing line. We will
have big base hospitals. There will
be vast machine shops in which to re-
pair railroad engines. artillery OF al!
kinds. automobile trucks Of every de-
scription, armored cars, hospital am
balances. airplane motors.
An army Of men will be working
behind the lines, and they will have
to be housed. They will be the men

DESTROYER ENEMY OF SUB
OF DESTROYERS
PROVEN By DIARIES TAKEN.
Less Merchantmen Lost; More Sub.
marines Sent Down Also Show
Worth of Destroyer.

Base OF the American Flotilla in
British Waters, Oct 16.-Diaries talk
en- from captured U-boat commanders
furnish documentary evidence that
the destroyer is the most effective of
present weapons against the subma-
rine. "Avoided destroyer is the Oft
repeated entry. In fact, these logs
show conclusively that the submarines
are having a hard. time of it.
The result Of the destroyer activi-
ties during the last four weeks has
been not only decrease in casualties
in merchant ships, but also a still
more satisfactory increase in the
number of submarines sunk.
Covoying Perfected.
The conveying of merchantmen has
now reached stage of considerable
perfection after many months work
in training, both the officers of mer-
chant ships, and the personnel Of the
patrol flotilla The offensive side Of
conveying may be best shown by an
illustration. When a submarine tries
to torpedo a conveyed ship-as sub
marines are now compelled to do
owing to the infrequency of uncon-
voyed shipping-there is always a
destroyer on the scene, and the
chances Of her "getting' that par
ticular submarine are corresponding
ly increased.
The wake Of a torpedo is generally
seen by the destroyer's lookouts, and
it gives a good line on the direction
where the submarine is lying, the de-
stroyer Immediately steers course full
speed in the line shown by the tor
pedo out of the torpedo wake and
drops repeated depth charges along
this course.
Cites Three Cases.
In a considerable proportion of
cases this proves effective. The
Associated Press correspondent was
told of three cases during the last
fortnight in which submarines were
thus destroyed In many instances
no doubt submarines are destroyed
without any visible indication above
water of their loss. Still others are
badly crippled, as in the case of the
damaged German U-boat which was
recently interned in Spain.
Another submarine which will nev-
er return to Germany was sunk un-
der peculiar circumstances a short
time ago. This U-boat torpedoed a
ship bound from the United States.
1t is extremely unwise and unsafe
to fire a torpedo at such close range,
but the U-boats must take their tar
gets as they get them these days.
The torpedoed ship was loaded with
cargo of heavy war material and
the explosion was so forcible that it
blew a large piece of the heavy ma
terial through the deck of the sub
marine as the latter was submerglng.
The hull of the submarine was crush
ed like an egg shell and she sank
with all on board.
