China's Awakening,

Two thousand years e the Chinese
built a wall across their northern
frontier to keep out the plundering in
vading tribes. Today this wall Is
crumbllng and moss grown-a useless
bit of old Cathay. Out beyond the
Nankou pass, the summit Of one OF
the hills Of northern Chill, stands the
last reminder of this bulky barrier,
and directly underneath run the tun-
neled archways Of the Peking-Kalgan
railroad. From underneath Its form
err barricaded excluslveness this most
exclusive of peoples Is stretching out
Its hands OF welcome. The much
tnlked-of "open door" swings on hinges

PAID DEARLY FOR HIS ERROR
Breach of Etiquette Resulted In Mat
rimonial Chains for Brilliant
French Author.

Alexander Dumas loved all women,
but managed to escape the chains Of
matrimony until his fame was well
spread. He was. like many another
genius, irresponsible. careless and a
first-rate ro%isterer. He made love to
nearly every pretty face he saw, and
when he beheld Ida Ferrier, a charm
ing young actress, portray IA role In
n of his plays very much to his Xix
ing, he lost no time in rushing back
stage ut the Porte st. Martin to tell
her so. He followed his usual custom
of transferring the praise of the act
ress to the praise of the lady, and she
accepted his advances at their face
value.
Dumas, at the time. vas the
protege of the duke of Orleans, and
that prince was not only his friend,
but also his publisher. The Bobe-
mlan-mlnded author saw nothing
wrong in taking the lady to Il very
formal ball given by the prince, and
in presenting her to his highness. II
breach OF etiquette hat the prince
pointed u when he accepted the
presentation. with these words: "Of
course, my dear Dumas. 1t is only
your wife you would think of pre-
senting to me-" A princes hint, when

poor Alexander was led to the altar
forthwith. The chains Of matrimony
set lightly, and Madame Dumas soon
departed for Florence.

many as 45 hens and is males in an
acre pen throughout the breeding and
laying season. This pen is inclosed
with a wire fence s feet high and the
birds prevented from flying over by
the flight feathers of one wing being
clipped. Within the pen is grass
pasture with bushes here and there
where the hens make their nests by
scratching out bowl-shaped hollow
in the ground. The winters being
severe, roosting shed is provided,
having cleated board reaching from
the floor to the roosts for the wing
clipped birds to walk up.
Most guinea raisers, however, allow
their breeding stock free range of the
entire farm at al times. This helps
to keep the birds strong and vigorous.
During the winter the breeders should
be fed grain mixture of corn, wheat

and oats twice day. Where no green
feed is available on the range at this
time of the year, vegetables, such as
potatoes, turnips, bcets, and cabbage,
should be substituted poultry special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture suggest.
Animal feed is essential to best re-
suits and can be supplied b yfeeding
meat scrap or skim milk. Given free
range where the supply of natural
feed during the winter and early
spring is ample, as it usually is in the
southern portion of the United States,
the guineas may be left to pick up
considerable part of their feed. Free
access to grit, charcoal, and oyster
shell is necessary throughout the
breeding and laying season.. Avoid
having the breeders too fat, but keep
them in good, firm flesh.

PICK COTTON EARLY

Clemson College, September g.
The Importance of gathering cotton
early is illustrated by data from
studies made by the United States
Department of Agriculture, as given
below and South Carolina farmers
are urged to rush the picking in or
der to save deterioration and there
by prevent loss in value.
Early Picking Makes Ten Acres Do
the Work of Fifteen
Ten acres of cotton picked at the
proper time in the fall from October
l to November 1 may yield as much
as Is acres of the same cotton picked
in January, according TO the special
lists who have been conducting farm
studies in the South for the United
States Department of Agriculture.
On farm in Arkansas an acre of
Boykin cotton harvested in the Pc
riod between October 1 and Novcm-
Der ! was worth $152 for lint and
seed. In January an acre of any
equally good crop of the same va
riety was worth only $106. Express
cotton gave $l93 per acre in Octo-
Der, but in January the crop was
worth only SIP.
The result of delayed picking is
chiefly deterioration in grade and
quality. For example in case
where October first cotton rated as
"strict middling." November first
cotton of the same variety rated as
"strict low middling" while on Jan
uarw Il the same variety classed as
good ordinary" only.

DETERMINERS FEED NEEDED
FOR HOGS IN TRANSIT

The minimum feed requirements of
hogs in transit have been determined
by the United States Department of
Agriculture as follows:
Not less than 2 bushels of shcllcd
corn or it's equivalent in ear corn or
other grain per single deck of not
more than 1900 pounds weight and
mt less than 2 1-2 bushels of shellcd
corn or its equivalent in ear corn or
other grain per double deck Of not
more than 21 900 pounds weight. Car
load of hogs in excess of these weights
should be fed an additional amount
in the same proportion.
Where amounts very greatly in ex-
cess of those specified are fed it is
quite probable that feed will be vast
