Feed for The Dairy Cow.

Clemson College, April 4.-Success
In the dairy business is largely de-
pendent on the home growing of the
dairy feed. All the rOughage AMI
part Of the concentrate or grain feed
must be grown on the farm to insure
profit from the dairy COW. II this
feed is grown profit will be realize j.
as may be shown by the testimony OF
m"ny farmers of this State. On the
other hand, if purchased feed is re
lied upon, little or no profit will be
made, even at a very high price fot'
dairy products, and often the pro
ducts will be produced at O loss.
Most farmers that try the dairy bus
mess and quit, do so because they
buy the feed for their cows ana
find that the feed costs as much
or more than they receive for the
milk, cream and butter. Every far
mer that is in the dairy business
and does not raise his feed, VIII
sooner or later become discourage
and quit the business
TO be profitable the dairy COW
must have an abundance of feed
every day OF the year and at no
time should she he starved through a
period Of weeks or months on short
feed. A period of short feed, even
though it lasts but a few weeks, will
| reduce the milk production Of the
cow for the remainder OF the milk
ing period and many times the bad
effects are seen for several years.
Plans should be made in tbb
spring for the production of SUI
hcient feed for the entire year, 20,
the number of cows to be kept. Re
member that the best feed is not
too good for tn dairy cow.
Do not buy feed-grow it,

ARMED AMERICAN snip SUNK.
STEAMSHIP AZTEC SUMMARIZED
BY GERMAN CRAFT.
Is First Armed Ship to BE Sunk.
Members Of Crew Missing and Re-
sartlcd as LOst-Had Sailed fol
Havre.

New York. April 2.--The American
steamship Aztec, first armed American
merchant vessel to sail from a port or
this side of the Atlantic, was sunk
last night by a German submarine
near Brest, France.
The cable message from the Ameri-
can consul at Brest that brought the
news of the ships sinking to her
owners the Oriental Navigation ocm-
pany. gave no inkling as to the fate
Of her crew.
An Associated Press dispatch frorl
Paris said, however, that while somQ
OF the men aboard the Aztec were
rescued q number were missing and
probably had pcrished.
The Aztec. under command OF Capt
Walter O'Brien, was manned by n
crew Of 80. Seventeen of this num-
Der. including the captain, were
Americans. Whether the Aztec fought
a losing battle with her under sea
adversary has not been disclosed. Her
owners believe, however, that she hal
no chance to fight because she was
sunk at 9:15 o'clock at night when q
heavy sea was running.
The vessel was armed with two s.
inch guns, one forward and one aft.
manned by naval gunners under com
mand of lieuteant officer.

Twenty-Five to thirty thousand dol
lars are spent annually on the public

There Is no talk of retrenchment OF
expenditure in this department of the
county government and no demand
that the roads be neglected. But if
II Is important to save automobiles
and wagons from preventible wear
and tear-so important that the coun-
ty can afford to spend thirty thou
sand dollars annually-it is not less
important that reasonable and scien-
tifcially approved methods to save
human beings from suffering and
death from preventible diseases be
adopted and put into effect l.
seems that the county should be able
to afford two thousand dollars to
teach the people how to save them

Germany Is making war on the Unit
ed States. He justihes his position by
asserting that he believes a majority
Of his constituents are opposed to

Any German emessaries who at
tempt to foment q race war in tn
South by inducing the negroes to turn
against the whites will be i'm greater
danger than the native whites. We

 RIGHT TO RAISE

Corporation Commissioner Amos A. Betts yesterday handed down the commissions opinion and order in the matter of the application of the Ari- zona Southern Railroad company for an increase in passenger rates.
 Betts stated in the opinion that the testimony showed the road had been built mainly to cater to the business of the mines at Silver Bell; that these mines had been shut down for a period. and that during that time the road had been inactive.
 Later, when the mines were opened, the road was operated with indiffer- ent success for a period of six months, until the freight traffic mad been revised. Even this did not help matters, as at present a deficit is shown in each months statement.
 The crder puts into effect new passenger rates, some or which are 10 per cent increases and others are decreased that amount l. is ex- pecteG that the new order will aid the company in at least making 0perat- ing expenses.
