TINE NOW RIPE
FOR LIVE STOCK
County Agent Urges Farmers to Stay
In Live Stock Business Rather Than
Sell.

To Laurens County Papers:
The following is circular letter
just out from Clemson College, and
prepared by w. j. Seely, Extension
Animal Husbandman. think this
worthy Of the attention of the farmers
Of Laurens County.
ITO Cattlemen of South Carolina:-
The time was never better to go into
the live stock business, nor was it
ever better for those that are in to
stay in. There is tendency for some
to cash out on account of the shortage
Of money This is mistake, for live
stock prices arc bound to become set
tied and breeding stock will be higher,
a much better plan is to feed the
breeding herd through the winter,
keep the COWS in flesh by running
them in the velvet bean fields or by
feeding siage, stover, hay and straw
and little cotton seed meal and vel
vet beans
better calves in the spring. They are
in a better condition to furnish milk
to grow out the calf and get him ready
to eat grain.
The cattlcmcn who sell veal calves
VIII find that their caves vii grow out
ana develop much faster in the spring
If the COWS are wei wintcred.
DO not let the breeding COWS get
TOO thin during the winter months for
the cost OF replacing flesh Is more Shan
twice that of maintenance.
Inc following few suggested ra-
tions will be helpful in wintcrine
breeding cows:
No. Corn silagc Is lbs o,t
straw 10 lbs; cowpcas or peanut hay
4 lbs.
No. Corn stover (shreddch II
lbs; oat straw lbs; cowpeo or nea-
nut hay lbs.

There is conclusive proof" he con

AUSTRIA FEARFUL
 AS OLD YEAR ENDS
Outlook for New Year Is Not
 Happy Over There

Vienna. Jan. 1.-The Austrian republic faces its second year with foreboding. Both the political au.i economic situations are believed here to have grown daily worse since autumn.
 The holiday season found Vienna with a reduced bread ration, virtually no fats and without fuel. The ex- pected supply of coal from CzechO- SloHakia has not been received aud public utilities were kept partly in operation only by great efforts and economics.
 High hopes had been enteriained d rom the visit of Chancellor Renner 10 the supreme council at Paris. TIe people expected that Austria, would obtain sufficient credit, food, fuel and |aW material for the resumption of their industrial life. Now that the result of his journey has becolne known the newspapers sound a noIe of despair. One of them remarks that the decision of the supreme council that Norarlloerg may not separate Q from Austria means that that prov ince is condemned 10 suffer along with the rest of Austria until the ordinary native will have hardly suf- AiEiSi1 1Oi lOou, dlu cIOIllHS DccO1l1GS luxury for even the compa ra lively well-to-do.
 Other provinces are seeking to fire Q themselves from the burdens or Austria and turn elsewhere for help. There have been rumors of an ini- pending revolt and decla ration of iH- dependence in Tyrol. Ii is charged in some quarters that the whole sep aTatlon movement in the Austrian provinces has been inspired by Ger man propaganda with g. view to es- tabllshing a corridor between Ger many and Austria.
 While Austria seems unable to oD- tain foreign credit for reha bilitatio, there has been much commen here upon the fact that foreign private capital has been diligently exploit n:s the country. It is asserted that the country has virtually been stripped oc articles de luxe, while it's rema ming factories are unable to obtain raw materials. According to common re port, foreign interests. principally Italian. have acquired eno1m ous holdings of stock in Austrian indus trials and mines.
 The government is evenly balanced between Socialists and Conservative and thus far has been unable to give birth to con structivc legislation look ing to the solution of many internal problems facing the country.

WOULD DEAL WITH U. s.
German Potash Concern Opens Nc"o- tiatiOns for Exchange of Their Pro- duce For American Coal.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-The German Pot ash syndicate is negotiating with America ag>tin, says the North Ger man Gazette which believes it will be able to reach an agreement in regard to the eNchn2e of potash for .Ameri- can coal.
 Negotiations took place between the Germans and Americans last spring but failed. says the paper, be cause America still thought it could rely on it's own substitute for potash and refused the German offers where upon Germany sold her output which was intended for the United States. to Sweden.
 Negotiations says the Berlin paper. have now been resumed to enable the German potash mineS of which l20 are crippled through lack of coal while others have only 2I per cent. enough fuel to buy American coal with dollars and recour by selling potash to America at dollar rates.
 Other negotiations are also under war betWeen Germany and Holland for milk and dairy products in eN change for potash.
