Home Service.

All the soldiers who come to the
Home Service Section are not good
looking officers, and sometimes there
are other things to be done for the
ex-private besides delayed allotment
and allowances. At present the
Home Service Section has a soldier
who is ""up against it," and until he
gets his first pay envelope he needs
help. If you wish to help, wont you
send us some vegetables, some but
termilk, or some canned stuff. And
then little later chicken broth, eggs
or "sic-folk eatin'" will come in ac-
ceptably. We want some baby
clothes too. Anything you have to
spare may be sent to the Home Ser
vice office.

rowing interest in livestock produc-

SALT FOR HOGS.

Clemson College, Aug. 22.-There
has been a great prejudice among
hog feeders against the use of salt in
the ration, says D. W. Williams, Of
the Extension Service animal hus-
bandry division. Many feeders be-
lieve that the results will be fatal if
a hog is allowed liberal quantity of
salt. During the last few years this
idea has been entirely disproved.
Feeding tests conducted at Belts
Vile, Nd, at the Iowa Experiment
Station, and at other stations have
shown beyond a doubt that the
cheapest gains were made where the
salt was settled. Many feeders use
salt in a mineral mixture, with char
coal, wood ashes, lime and copperas.
However, the quantity of salt i'll this
mixture is usually not sufficient, and
feeders would do we'll to feed salt in
box by itself where it would al
ways be available. There is some
danger in feeding salt in large guam
titles when the animals are not ac-
customed to it. The amount fed
should be small at first and gradually
increased so that there will be no
danger of the hogs overeating on this
feed.

Cocaine Whiskey.

Analysis of whiskey captured In
the home of an Abbeville county citi
zen says Marshal G. j. Lyon ranges
in color from clear, amber and
brown to an indigo blue.
Marshal Lyon is of the opinion
that the whiskey seized contains CO.
caine, and feels that such varieties Of
so-called whiskey has been directly
responsible for number of deaths in
that section. For some time the Of
ficers have been working on clues
which led them to believe that whis-
key was being made near Abbeville,
and Tuesday morning raid was
made on the home of John Lawton, a
white farmer. The result was that a
distilling outfit and numerous bot
ties of whiskey were taken by the
revenue men.
According to Marshal Lyon these
bottles of whiskey when placed side
by side resembled the rays of the
rainbow, so great was the contrast.
Some of the stuff was of clear color
and of the same shade that whiskey
is supposed to be. Others were of a
brown, tobaccoish tint, while there
was an assortment of colors that re-
,embled the opening of Partisan dry
goods store. Small quantities of the
whiskey have been brought to this
city and in all probability will be ex-
amined by a chemist to determine
what they contain.-Greenville Pied

William Lyon Back From France.

William Lyon Back From France.
William H. Lyon, the fourth son
of Marshal C. j. Lyon to return from
service overseas, arrived in Green
vile Friday morning after more than
a year in France, Belgium and Ger
many. He left Brest on August II
and without any hitch in the sailing
program was in Greenville eleven
days later.
Marshal Lyon furnished three sons
in the 30th division, David Wardlaw
Lyon, John U. Lyon and c. j. Lyon,
Jr., having returned some months
ago. Wardlaw Lyon was seriously
wounded and is not yet fully recov-
cred from his injuries. He was one
of the few Greenville men, if not the
only soldier from this city to receive
a medal and an official citation from
the British government. This was
given for gallantry in action on Oct
ober IL, 1918.
John U. Lyon was in the navy
while the remainder of the brothers
served with the Old Hickory division.
Chas. E. Klugh, son-in-law of Mar
shal Lyon, was also in the service,
being an officer in the artillery

REQUEENING AND
TRANSFERRING

Clemson College, August %
Numerous requests continue to reach
the Extension entomologists for in
structions about transferring bees
from box gums to frame hives. 1t
is not recommended that transferring
be done later than August 20.
The assistance asked for in re-
queening can not be given to all be-
:>use there is a serious shortage of
queens of guaranteed purity. De-
liveries are promised after August
IS to 20 but this is considered too
late, for such hives may not have
sufficient time to build up for winter.
In transferring from standard g.
frame hives, to standard 10-frame
hives, carry over as much brood as
possible. Do not destroy brood and
start on comb foundation. Brood
may be transferred direct in the
:rames, or it may be cut and proper
iy tied into the new frames, or. it
may be Strengthened in the old
frames and transferred. This brood
is a great help in building up for
the winter.

DOGS AND DOGS.

The Press and Banner deleHuS
dogs with more spirit than Judgment
Il is the syaller dog" and the "worth-
less cur" The Observer is against.
The Press and Banner apparently be-
lieyes there "aint no sich animal"
AS a Newberrian once said about IL
ouor: sThere is no bad liquor; some
is good and some better; so The
Press and Banner would say about
dogs.
Whenever a protest is made. against
the "yaller" dog, the sheep-kllllng
dog, somebody rises up and proclalms
what a noble animal dog ls-all
hydrophobia-spreading, egg-sucklng
dogs apparently-and tells how he IS
"a friend to man.; so faithful, and
all that.
There are many pretty things said
about dogs; which the right kind OF
dog deserves. Even a worthless dog,
like some worthless folks, are CON
stant" in their "devotion." Where
,,as ever a lower scoundrel than Bill
Sykes. in Dickens Oliver Twist?-a
thief and murderer! His dog stuck
TO him through thick and thin. A
dog will stick to man like Sykes
to any low and villianous character
with as much constancy and devotion
as to the best man on earth, VINO
treats him kindly. And yet one
hears much stuff like this: "Trust
.ha man whom dogs and children
love-"
Some like to quote Byron and say,
"'Tis sweet to hear the watch-dogs
j. honest bark
draw near home"
Ray deep-mouth'd welcome as we
1t is right pretty poetry too, but
not much truth in it, for the watch
doy, usually the bull dog, IS not
eiven to much barking-he slips up
on his victim and bites him without
warning the victim is as often
as not it's owners friend.
There are dogs and dogs, and not
all of them are beings Of devotion
and honesty and love either. Many
Of them are worse than worthless
They have wen-nigh ruined the
sheep industry in this state. Ihey
eat and destroy in one week more
than they are worth all their lives
And they. are a constant menace to-
the human race; for, whatever sclen-
lists may say, there is such a thing
as hydrophobia, as Newberry people
have had cause to know; and one
man or woman or child is worth more
than all the "yaller" dogs and
"worthless" ours in forty counties,
which are the kinds of dogs that
should be lawed out of existence.
And those kinds make up fully ninety
per cent of the dogs in this part OF
the world.-Newberry Observer.
