What should be the length of the
lactation period for the good dairy
COW? For any we'll fed COW, resting
period Of six weeks to two good months
is long enough, for in this time the
cow can be put in very good condi-

Too many of our cows are idle for
three and foursmonths, which means a
greater loss to the owner for the year.
In many cases, the owner has failed
to keep a close record as to when the
cow is due to frashen and in many
cases no record at all. A small book
for keeping all records of the dairy
herd should be in every barn, and all
records kept accurately. This will tell
when to start drying off the COW.

not keep the bull for year or two

London-Eamonn de Valera's answer
to proposals of the British governm emit

the British cabinet this morning. Lord

how much money is Kenosha spending
at the movies even now?
Here's the answer in cold figures and
facts:
In August, 1920 approximately So
900 people turned the turn-stiles at the
movie house entrances in Kenosha
alone-just for one week. These fig
ures don't represent the largest week,
only an average week in the month of
August of last year. Figuring twenty
i've cents as the average price of adj
mission for one person, the total
amount of money spent in one week
last year for just that item in the
family budget reaches the sum of lit
tie more or less than 81 500! That was
when money was plentiful.
Now comes the figures for an aver
age week in August, 1921 For the
week ending August sixth, approxim-
ately II. 500 people went to the movies,
or about thirty-fve per cent of the
number of last August. This repre-
sents total Of s2,S75,0O spent in this
direction alone.
Our mathematical prodigy has sue

ing figures as to what this amount. Of
money could buy in other lines. Fig
uring fifty cents for a good meal, It
would purchase enough meals for ) $50

for each person living west of Main

REPORT OF VISIT TO THE
NEWBERRY COUNTY JAIL
Made April 22, 1921, by Assistant
Secretary Breariey.

The Newoerry county jail has sew
eral interesting and distinctive fea-
lures. Not one of the other forty
three jails of the state has paid
chaplain or as many as ten separate
compartments, where all classes of
prisoners can be properly Isolated.
Sheriff Blease and Jailer Sanders
have recently begun the use of a de-
tention room where prisoners are
placed temporarily when they first
come to the Jail until it is seen wheth-
er they are to leave soon on bond.
If it is found that they are to stay in
confinement for sometime, they are
carried to the prison section, given a
bath and clean bedding, and examined
for vermin. If vermin are found the
prisoner is disinfeeted, his clothes are
boiled and Re is supplied with clear
prison clothing. This jail has also
one of the best vegetable gardens in
the state and undoubtedly the best
flower garden and lawn.
Almost the only defect of the ad-
mirable Jail building is that the ce-
ment floors are very soft and are
crumbling away. An experiment has
been made Of a hardening material
and it has given excellent results. 1t
10 urged that an appropriation be
made for treating the entire floor
spoce of the building. A secure wire
fence would make it possible to give
ali of the prisoners outdoor exercise.
The people of the county, and es-
pecially the legislative delegation and
the roadway commission, are to
be commended for their cooperation
with Sheriff Blease in his efforts to
make this institution the best Of its
kind in South Carolina.
