ADVANTAGES OF PUREBRED SIRE
Fourteen Reasons For the Use OF stres
ct Good Breeding and individuality.

Clemson College, Dec. 22.-Never
before was the farmer in South Caro-
lima so serious about serious matter
a. today. Just how he can emerge
from a cotton-covered crysalis and find
his land stocked with good hogs, cat
tie and sheep is truly difficult prob
lem. The quickest, cheapest and best
way to improve live stock is to invest
In the right sort Of sire and, having
purchased him, give him good feed
and care, says Prof. l.. V. Starkey'
Chief of the Animal Husbandry Dl-
vision, who makes the following brler
suggestions in the form Of fourteen ad'
yantages Of a pure bred sire of good
breeding and good individuality.
Astronomical and Rapid Improve.
ment:
One pure bred sire will improve
the herd as rapidly as so pure
bred females.
2-Lastins Influence:
The value of pure bred sire 1s
not seen entirely in the first gen.
Grafton but continues in the fol-
lowing generations.
-Fewer Sires Necessary:
One pure bred sire properly man
aged will do the work OF four
scrub sires as they are usually
managed.
-Advertisemen Valuable:
Well bred stock attracts the At
tention of buyers.
@Demand Created For Our Local
Pure Bred Sires:
The breeders Of pure bred stock
in South Carolina should be en-
eouraged by good market Tor
their breeding stock.
Iopportunity to Work Gradually
Into Pure Bred Business:
II there is pure bred sire In the
community, it is an easy matter
to purchase one or two pure bred
females and soon be in the pure
bred business.
Incorporation Possible:
II there are as many az four or
five pure bred sires in the commu-
nifty there is an excellent oppor-
tunity to cooperate by exchanging
sires.
lPure Bred sires More Valuable
Than Scrubs After Their Period
Of Usefulness is Over:
A 2,000-pound pure bred bull IL
worth more for beef than a scrub
which usually weighs 1,20o to 1,400
4 pounds.
-Prepotency Important:
A pure bred sire will sire individ'
uals more like himself than like
the dam. This is due to concen-
trated blood lines.
fo-Increased Value Through Uni.
fernnity:
Buyers will always pay more for
q uniform carload of livestock
than for mixture Of scrubs and
purebreds.
Offspring Worth More:
A calf is worth $5 to SO more, q
q yearling SIS to $40, and a two
year-old $25 to $50 moro II sired
by a purebred bull.
t2-Wealth Created:
The farmers gain is not some
body's loss, for a farmer can
raise a better calf and no one is
the poorer. Ee thus creates
wealth.
13-Good Influence on Owner:
When a man has purebred live
& stock on his farm he naturally
takes more interest in it and feeds
and cares for it better than he
otherwise would.
1+Better Living:
The pure bred bull mears more
money, which in turn makes pos
sible better homes, better schools,
better churches, better roads and
q better and more satisfactory
country life.

BUYS THE VINEYARD PLACE
 SOUTH OF BRINKLEY.

J. A. Owensby, Supt. of the Shiloh school, was thro' Brink ley yesterday en route from Little Rock where he went to visit his son who was in the hospital for treatment, and re- ported that he had closed a deal for the purchase of the Vineyard farm of no acres , miles south of Brinkley on the Bankhead Highway.
 The consideration paid was $7,O00.OO and $2,000.00 of this was property holding in Missouri. The Vineyard prep erty has on it two nice resi- dences, a fine barn, etc and other improvements which will probably foot up under present values, around $5,000 or $G,000 and therefore the trade is a cracking good one flor the new owner as well as the old one.
 When asked about what value he placed on the Bank head road to his property, he said, q bought it because of the road and 1 wouldn't have it at all without it."
 J. R. and H. B. Vineyard have rented the place for this year and will live there for the present.
 J. R. Vineyard has just been elected to teach the Public school at Vineyard Post Office in Lee County and is now en- gagged in that work while H.. B. Vineyard is teaching south of town.

When Dr. Murphy ex- amined her there was scarcely an inch of her little body that wasn't bleeding or bruised. Jack Lineback came up and gave her a nice stylish har &cut and other friends bought 5 her a new dress, nice warm 'xllnderclothes, new shoes, stock ings, etc, and kind hearted Brinkley women and friends sent in other clothes, cash, etc, and the little bruised and bat tered orphan is today seeing the sunny side of life, up at the Magnolia Hospital.

and Quasi-socialistic theorizing is
gone. While some Of them foresee
: third party, they do not fear it.
They are honestly convinced that
there are more Republican voters
in the country than Democrats to-
day and that the formation of a
third party would draw almost as
many Democrats as Republicans
and when these elements had been
subtracted from both parties, the
resultant strength Of the Republi-
can party in each OF the important
states would still be sufficient to
carry the electoral votes for the
Republican ticket.
Democrats Welcome Breach.
But in the Democratic camp, the
forecast of third party is ac-
companied by a sense Of jubilation
and expectancy. The Democrats
are basing their hopes ON what
happened in 1912. They think a
third party means an easy victory.
OF course, they are assuming that
Hiram johnson, IL defeated at Chi
cago will raise the cry OF fraud
and the familiar slogans Of 1912
