Summerland Creamery Con
tinues Successful.
Con.

Clemson College, Aug. 28.-The
Summerland Creamery at Batesburg
continues to go strong. During July
the creamery received almost 10000
pounds of cream, paying an average
price for the month of 35 cents q
pound for butter fat. All of this was
manufactured into butter. totaling
1000 pounds. So far this month, the
plant has made over 1000 pounds
per week, reports D. C. Badger, Ex-
tension Dairy Husbandman, who has
done much to aid farmers in the
Batesburg territory to get started in
the production of cream for the
creamery.
The creamery has on its books du-
ring July, 1872 patrons all of whom
are beng paid weekly by check.
"I have had an opportunity of
talking with a great number Of these
patrons, and all of them r more
than pleased with the treatment they
are receiving. One nan told me that
if he could be assured that he could
always ship to a creamery that gave
him as good treatment and as good
service and were as fair and square
as the Batesburg creamery, he would
go into the dairy business on a big
SCALE"
These remarks are indicative of
the feeling Of the farmers toward
this creamery and the enthusiasm
shown by practically every one of its
patrons.
The creamery is building up a
name for its butter, which is being
sold under the name of Summer
land Creamery Butter" and Ear not
begin to supply the demand for the
product.

tic Action Against the DESIGNERS
of Beautiful Scenery.

Everywhere the motorist travels the
natural beautiful scenery is marred by
glaring signs, not only small boards,
but immense structures often a hum
dred feet or more in length and twenty
or more feet in height.
Just at a bend in the road where the
tourist expects to have a fine view
3weeping over a broad valley the scene
is completely cut off by a monstrous
and offensive structure covered with
a f1aring advertisement.
At some points both sides Of the
road will be lined with these u%nsightly
and ugly advertising walls.
In England the disfiguring Of fences,
buildings and other places with signs
is prevented by law on the ground
that the good taste of the people is
offended and the landscape disfgured.
Some Of the worst offenders are
manufacturers who are INFESTED In
the development Of motoring. They
have boarded up the roadways along
the whole eastern part of the United
States, much to the annoyance of mo-
florists and Disagreement Of the land
scape.
If the nuisance cannot be stopped
any other way, motorists can at least
agree not to pa%tronize any concern
aiding in detracting from the natural
beauty Of our country and the pleas
ure of the pub!ic.-New York Sun.

other sites. Here in picturesque

HOME OWNERS GOOD CITIZENS
Truth in Statement That. Red Flag Is
Never Flown Above Abodes
of Happiness.

ut has been truthfully stated by
many authorities that the red flag OF
anarchy or Bolshevism has never been
found flying from a mans own home,"
says the journal, Material Facts,
Cleveland, Ohio.
"Agitators and disturbers are the
rolling population bent only on fo-
menting hatred. They believe in many
'isms' because they mean equal divi-
sion, and these wanderers, having
nothing are willing to divide. Cleve-
land, now the fourth city, has reached
her present position because her citi-
zens are home owners and are using
every effort to further Cleveland in
terests.
downing ones home is beneficial
from an economic standpoint. The
future of our country depends upon its
citizens. Crowding Of families into
tenements tends to destroy the physi-
cal fabric, while the lack Of privacy
in home life leads to the breaking
down of established moral precedents.
The archbishop of Canterbury in re-
cent message states: The overcrowd-
ing in some regions, both urban and
rural, ought to fill US with shame. 1t
is, of course, a fruitful source of i'm
morality, as well as disease. We are
absolutely bound to make a genuine
and sustained effort to- ecure that
every man, woman and child shall
have such accommodations as will en-
able him or her to live in health and
honor
ITO this end, then, of a better citi-
zenry, a better city, a more glorious
state, a most magnificent country and
for a sane and healthy people, let
every one cultivate the saving and
thrift essential to the ownership Of a
home"

How Many Pigs Raised for
Each Cow Kept?

Clemson College, Aug. 28.-An-
swer this question and you will come
nearer indicating whether you are
making money On hogs than you
could by answering any other ques.
ton, perhaps. In other words the slze
of litter raised has more to do with
reproduction costs than any other
factor, according to S. D. Sims, Elk,
tension Swine specialist, who says
that it cost much more than half as
much to raise four pigs from n SOW
than it does to raise eight from the
same SOW.
Summarizing some data from re-
cords kept on some forty farms, 1t
was learned that on farms where
from 2 to 5 pigs were raised per sow.
the cost was $3.50 per pig as com
pared to $1.51 on farm raising Z to
8 pigs per sow kept.
Some of the factors important to
insure large filters are given below
With strict attention to these points
little trouble should be experienced
in getting a good high average in
numbers per sow.
For breeding purposes only gifts
should be retained that are large,
long, smooth, of good type, with lots
of femininity and from large filters
narrowed by good producing, careful
mothers.
Individual quarters should be pro.
vided for each sow with daily change
of bedding just before and after far,
rowing time.
The sow should be carefully fed
to prevent scours in the pigs.
Both sow and pigs should be for,
ced to take plenty Of exercise on
ground which has been cultivated
since hogs were on it the year pre-,
vious.
4 good we'll balanced ration
should be fed at all times with some
good grazing crop for pasture.
An abundance of shade and pure
water should be provided.

What Became of a Lie.

First, somebody told it,
Then the room wouldn't hold it,
Till they got it outside;
When the crowd came across it
And never once lost it.
But tossed it and tossed it,
Till it grew long and wide
From a very small lie, sir,
Till it reached to the sky, sir,
And frightened the moon
This lie brought forth others,
Dark sisters and brothers
And fathers and mothers
A terrible crew.
And while headlong they hurried,
AS lies always do,
And so evil bodied,
This monstrous lie goaded,
Till at last it exploded,
In smoke and in shame.
When from mud and from miro
The pieces flew higher
And hit the said liar
And killed his good name.
Found on the walls of a large col
lege; authors name unknown

Make the Homo Attractive.

The only way to make a city at

to insist on buying only attractive
homes, and particularly to take the
responsibility for. making it's home
grounds attractive.
Grass seed may be sown, shubbery
planted and cultivated, flowers pro

person in q block makes his place
neat and trim, the whole block will

Good In City Planning.

It is easy to see how one phase OF
city planning relates itself to other
phases, and how desirable it is for one
part of a city or n business in a
city to be developed with due consid-

business. City planning is nothing
less than a community affair and
nothing more than a sensible and
b~usinesslike provision for the best pos
sible development Of all the commu.

To Build Furey's Ferry Road
Soon.

Work will soon begin on the high
way from Martinez, Ca, to Furey's
Ferry, near Augusta, completion OF
which will give an improved highway
for tourist travel from Asheville,
through Greenwood and Mccormick
counties to Augusta. Tourist travel
over this route is already heavier
than usual, and the completion OF
the Furry's Ferry road will defect
still heavier tourist travel over this
road. The Augusta Chronicle says:
The highway from Martinez to
Furey's Ferry is now assured and
work on the road will begin as soon
as the state highway department re-
ceives word from the government
saying that federal aid will be given
in the construction of this road. The
application has been forwarded and
a favorable reply is looked for in the
next few days. The actual survey OF
the road has not been made, as the
state highway department engineer
VIM. G. Greenslade, i S awaiting gov
eminent approval.
As far as the city and county is
concerned their part Of the building
expense is settled and they r ready
tomatchfunds with the government.
Chairman M. C.. 3. Holley, County
Commissioner and a member of the
committee from the county, stated
last night that the county was ready
to appropriate its share at once. DR..
j. M. Caldwell, chairman of the COM
mittee from council and C. Vernon
Elliott, the other member of that
committee, stated yesterday that
they had been given the power to
act in the matter and that they were
ready to do it at once.
The cost of building the road will
be about $4,000. The government
is to appropriate $4,000 and thecity
and county $1,000 each. The con-
struction of the road will be done by
contract. The contract will be award
ed in Atlanta.
It is not known what route will
be used in the building of the road.
This is a matter for the surveyors
to decide, it is learned. It is very
probable that the shortest route to
the river will be used.
The building of this road will con-
meet Augusta with the western part
of South Carolina and will afford a
modern highway to Asheville, N. c.,
a distance of about $50 miles. 1t
will not only afford the people of
that part of South Carolina a good
road to Augusta but the citizens of
Augusta as we'll will be given the OPP
~portunity to travel over good roads
to Asheville.-Greenwood Index.

The Scale of Living.

In all the arrangements of life
there is a certain appropriateness
that is we'll to observe out of respect
for ourselves as well as out Of con-
%sideration for others. The extremes
Of inadvertance in this regard are
obvious and ridiculous to everyone.
Only the foolish buy fur coats on a
salary of fifteen dollars a week, or
order a talking machine or a new
car on the installment plan when
they are not able to pay their doc
tors bills. If your children have to
earn their living, as you have earn
ed yours, it is absurd for you and
cruel to them to bring them up as
if they were to inherit a fortune.
They and you will suffer for it in
the end, and the worst part of your
suffering will be that they will
blame you.
The way to achieve a wise and
reasonable proportion between
means and ends, to see that what
you and your family have in one
line conforms to what you have in
another, that there is no startling
contrast between your expenditure
of one year and that of the next,
is to use forethought and system.
The most damaging, the most de-
structive of all forms of human fl
nancing is to spend because you
have. Your pay comes in, your min
ing stock yields an unexpected divi-
dend: you go out in whirlwind of
glee, step around the corner, see a
wonderful bargain, something you
knew you needed but never thought
of buying, and the whirlwind has
swept away that pocketful OF cash,
and there is still a little more to pay,
and you have no idea where it is
coming from. Your glee has vanish
ed with a pop, like a burst balloon.
Plan for your pay, what you will
do with it, what you ought to do
with it. Plan to put unexpected div
idends into the bank, and let the
wonderful bargains go. You won't
live in quite such whirlwinds of eth
er kind, but your life will be sane
and we'll regulated, and there will
be a pleasing completeness about it
such as is unknown to those who
spend by fits and starts.
At the same time there is a slav-
cry to the scale of living that is as
much to be avoided as the neglect Of
it. independence is +he secret of hap
piness, perhaps more in matters of
money than in anything else. Do not
let anyone on earth dictate how you
shall spend. Have the things you
really enjoy; go without those you
don't, no matter who criticises. The
scale of living is set by the artifi-
cial requirements Of society. It is
we'll to recognize it, but not to be a
martyr to it. The measur of happi-
ness is the adjustment Of real wants
to actual means; and any scale that
does not allow for that is false and
disastrous.-Youths Companion.

Harvesting Bananas.

At the fruit store you will notice
that the big bunch of bananas is. US
ually hung with the fruit bending
downward. That position, we learn
from Mr.. Philip K. Reynolds, WAC
writes in the Bulletin of the Pan
American Union, is not the natural
position of the growing fruit. AS the
single flower bud on the individual
banana plant increases in size it
bends downward; then the covering
bracts drop off and disclose the
young bananas, which point outward.
AS they become larger they point
upward toward the sun.
Each banana plant-popIarly
but incorrectly called a tree-bears
only a single bunch of bananas,
which is made up of ~so-called
shands," or clusters. The Glands"
grow separately in spirils, and each
contains from ten to twenty-five ba-
nanas, or fingers" Commercially
bananas are classed according to
Glands" A bunch that has less than
six is not readily marketable; the
standard bunch has nine or more
clusters and are classed as nine-hand
fruit. A nine hand bunch varies in
weight according to the variety of
the fruit and to the soil and to eli
mate conditions under which it is
grown; the average weight is from
fifty to seventy-five pounds. Occa-
sionally you see a bunch that has as
many as twenty two Glands" and
more than three hundred bananas
a bunch as large as that might weigh
approximately one hundred and fifty
pounds.
When a bunch of bananas is cut
the individual plant is destroyed, but
the root is still able to send up
shoots. After the first crop of fruit
from two to five of the most prom.
Using shoots are left to grow and sup,
ply fruit later. Cutting out the ex.
ira shoots is called pruning. AS the
season of harvest is drawing near
young plants are coming to maturity
to replace those that will have to be
cut down. There are areas where as
a result of a single planting the
plants have continued to produce
bananas for twenty years.-Youths
Companion.

No kind of feed should be allow
ed to go to waste. When the corn is
not put into the silo or cut and
shocked, it should be gathered just
as soon as mature, so that livestock
may obtain the largest possible bene-
fit from the pasture. 1t is foolish to
leave corn in the field until Novem-
Der or December, as is often done.
Of course where velvet beans or
some late-maturing variety of cow
peas are planted in the corn, it may
be necessary to wait until rather late
to harvest the crop.
