Resolutions of Respect.

At our last meeting tribute was offer
ed to the memory of one of our long time
associates At this meeting, only month
later, 1t is the sad duty of the Board to
record the death of another friend and
co-worker, Mrs. Mary c. Clement.
For several years she served on the
Board of Managers, and always mani
tested the deepest interest in all matters
pertaining to the Home or to the lives of
the girls under our charge. How well we
remember her as she was in the active
days of her life, before illness laid its
blghting hand upon her. A sweet, true,
! womanly woman, of remarks bic force of
character, of clear thinking, one of those
who understand the art of making capable,
wise decisions in time of need.
Unusually large hearted, she possessed
the intellectual strength and activity that
make up well rounded nature. She al
ways found time to engage in club or
church work, or in any object for the up
lift of those about her, and she was an
important factor in any work of the kind
which she undertook.
AS one by one they pass from us these
helpful friends of ours, how we cherish
their memory. And it seem fitting that
we keep for each little memory page IL

HOW RusKIN PAINTED PINE
English Writer Quick to Perceive the
Rugged Beauty Of the Northern
Forest Monarch.


The impressions on most peoples
minds must have been received more
from pictures than reality, so far as
l can Judge; so ragged they think the
pine; whereas Its chief character Is
,green and full roundness. 1t stands
compact, like one Of It's own cones,
slightly curved on Its Sides, finished
and quaint as a carved tree in some
Ellzabethan garden; and instead Of
being wild in expression, forms the
softest Of all forest scenery; for 9TH
er trees show their trunks and twist
ing boughs; but the pine, growing ell
ther In luxurlant mass or In happy
isolation, allows no branch to be seen.
Summit behind summit rise Its pyra-
midal ranges, or down to the very
grass sweep the circlets Of It's boughs;
80 that there Is nothing but green
cone and green carpet. Nor Is 1t only
softer, but in one sense more cheerful
than other foliage; for It casts only a
pyramldal shadow. Lowland forest
arches overhead, and cheques the
ground with darkness; but the pine,
growing In scattered groups, leaves
the glades between emerald bright.

Valuable Cow.

Some years ago the last remaining
farmer In prosperous New York sub
urb beQueathed to his son hS only
property, 16 acres Of land, ram
shackle barn and one COW. The young
recipient had no money to develop the
land, and was at loss to know what
to do with his COW, whose habits he
did not understand. He finally de-
cided to keep her as remembrance
Of his father, and she grazed away
contentedly.
Ten years later there came an opt
portunity to dispose Of the land at
1000 lot, or $192, 900 for the whole
Based on this valuation, the taxes
during the ten years would have
amounted to something like $4,000,
whereas, because of the cow, the
property had be given farm clas-
slfcatien, and had been taxed during
the period only S1,6OO.-Wall Street

WHERE FOX SHOWS CUMMING
Renard Always Refuses to Run
Faster Than the Dog Will Drive
Him, for Purpose.

An Enghshman who had once seen
an American fox running before a
hound wrote that the American fox is
much slower than Its English cousin.
AS a matter Of fact, the Englishman's.
assertion, which by the way appeared
In an encyclopaedia, is really a trib-
ute to the superior cunning Of the
American fox. Reynard, says Mr.:
Charles D. Stewart in the Atlantic
Monthly, could have run a good deal
faster had he thought 1t wise to do it.
A fox surprised by hound in
small patch of wood will run across
the open at astonishing speed. Then
he not only will slow up but may even
sit down on some convenient elevation
and look back. He keeps his wits
about him; he wants to see what Is
going on. When the hound has struck
his stride the fox will soon gauge It
and lead him chase Anyone who,
sees the chase and knows that the
hound is slow becomes an admirer Of
the witty Reynard and will he likely
to say that the fox is running slowly
just to tease the dog. Indeed, many
entertaining writer's have said so; but
veteran hunter would not so inter-
pref the action Of the fox. He well
knows that when a fox gets half
mile or so ahead Of him and skulks
along at set distance out of sight,
it is not doing 1t to tease him. The
fox is not so human as that. The plain
fact Is that the fox will not retreat
before dog any faster than the dog
drives him. That is because it is
naturally cunning.

Germans Want State Censorship.

The censorship of stage matters
which was at one time very rigid In
Germany was abandoned during the
war and the result was that efforts
were at once made to give question
able performances. The theater-going
public has resented this and have
shown their displeasure by stopping
the shows in several parts of the
country. In some case actors and &C
tresses were seriously injured by the
demonstrations which took place
There is a general demand for the re-
turn Of the old-tlme censorship when
only the best plays were sanctioned.

Terms Dairymen Should Know.

Clemson College, May S.-Dairy,
ing is practically new line to great
many South Carolina farmers, and il
is well that they, become familiar with
the terms commonly used in dairyine
practice, says NJ. R. Tolstrup, Asso.
ciate Professor of Dairying, who ex,
plains below some of the common
terms.
The Babcock test is a quick, sim.
Pile inexpensive and accurate means
of finding the butter fat content in
the various dairy products; namely
butter, cheese, ice cream, cream,
whole milk, skim milk, butter milk
and whey.
The Sediment test is a simple de-
vice, by use of which it is possible to
find the amount of impurities con-
tained in milk. The purpose of the
test is to improve cleanliness in pro-
ducing milk.
The Moisture test is simple test
to determine the amount of moisture
contained in butter. The Federal
Government limits the amount to 16
per cent or less.
The Salt test is an easy and in
expensive means of telling how much
salt there is in butter.
The Acidity test is particular,
inexpensive and rapid means of tell
ing whether milk and cream are sweet
by determining the per centage of
acidity that it contains.
0ver-run in butter making means
the difference between the number
of pounds of butter fat put into the
churn and the number of pounds of
finished butter made from same. The
difference is made up of water, salt
and casein Cor curd).
Standardization of dairy products
means bringing tenn to a certain de-
sired composition. It is used especial
ly in ice cream making, in market
ice cream, and in some places in mar
ket and modified milk.

Observe Mothers Day.

Next Sunday is Mothers Dayp
Though the movement is hardly more
than a decade in age it has reached
great proportions in the matter OF
observance and next Sunday it will
be observed more generally than ever
before. For the first time in history,
SO far as we can ascertain, the head
of one department of the government
has signalized such an occasion by
asking that the flag be flown in hon.
or of the event. Postmaster General
Hubert Work, has issued a request to
all postmasters 10 fly the flag OF the
nation next Sunday in honor of
Mothers Day" and consequently
from the flag stats of hundreds OF
postoffices throughout the country Old
Glory will wave.
Ordinarily the flag is not flown on
government buildings on Sunday, but
this new order will no doubt be well
coined throughout the length and
breadth of the land, for, there is no
body now here that would interpose
and objection to such a dedication
and use of the flag. No doubt there
are many who still harbor their own
ideas, and pursue their own plans de-
spite Mothers ideas and opinions to
the contrary; just as they did back
in the olden days when youth had its
fling and unrestrained boyhood and
girlhood had it's way in many respect,
but after all, all of us place Mother
on a pedestal in the secret places of
our heart and worship her there at a
shrine where the vulgar public may
never see.
The custom in vogue is to wear a
red flower in memory of Mother if
she is living and "a white flower if she
is dead. That is a splendid tribute
itself, but the greatest tribute we
can pay Mother is to do the best we
can for her as the sun goes down the
westward way. Unfortunately cir
cumstances and conditions frequent
ly prevent US from doing half so
much as we would want to do, and
then again the dear mothers them
selves keep their children from doing
as much as they did and would do,
for whether we are young or old,
too many of US forget to keep pace
with life and we can not see the new
vision of things as they are today.
But for all that Mother is Mother
still and we shall do our best as the
days speed on to make life's path
way brighter than it has ever been in
the past.-Augusta Chronicle. ;.

I see myself; enshrined;
He cares not il my hat. and gowo
Be made in country or in town,
I'm perfect to his mind!
What though gain unwlshed for pounds
And mourn the fact with sighs?
For worry Toby sees no grounds.
And should I grow by leaps and bounds,
I'm perfect in his eyes.
To him, the flaws that humans trace,
Are graces wondrous fine,
And II he can but find place.
Where turning, he may see my face,
The world is his and mine.
Gray hair and wrinkles pass him by,
With him time plays no part,
Youth Is eternal to his eye.
Nor will that homage ever die

You who are old and plain and worn,
To whom the world seems cold.

He'll think you're like the rosy morn.
Such solace Is pure gold.

Tho Cure.

A very little girl sat on the plush
couch In the hotel lobby violently
swinging her feet. Back and forth
they swung with vigor. A nice-faced
lady sat down next to the child and
watched her for moment. Then she
asked very gently why the little girl
didn't put her feet on the floor.
With painstaking care and patience
the little girl explained by gestures
that If she held hex feet on the floor
she couldn't sit ON the couch, and II
she sat back comfortably her feet
didn't reach the floor.

kindly, "what are you going to doT

chalantly, and continued swinging her

Production and Care of Cream
for Shipment.

Clemson College, May 8.-In view
of the increased interest which has re-
Gently been shown in dairying in this
state, which has come about partly
by the difficulty of growing cotton
since the influx of the boil weevil, and
partly because dairying fits SO well
into diversified system of farming,
there has rapidly sprung up great
need and demand for information in
regard to proper production and
care of milk and cream for shipment
70 the various creameries and butter
factories of the state. The. lack of in
formation is not surprising, for while
the state owns about 100000 dairy
COWS, heretofore most of their prod
ucts have been consumed locally and
but very little has been shipped from
the farms. Now, however, dairying is
Beginning TO change from a sideline
activity to a regular industry and is
providing at least share of the live
lihood of many people.
It naturally follows therefore that
the supply of dairy products will be
much larger than can be consumed
locally in the form of milk and cream
or manufactured into butter in the
home. Hence, shipment to she vari-
ous creameries is becoming neces-
sity. But many people find themselves
unprepared and not properly inform
ed. along dairy lines to cope with this
situation. There is nothing difficult
about the production and proper care
of milk and cream to be shipped nor
are expensive methods necessary. In
order to answer in general way the
many inquiries which are reaching
the Dairy Division concerning this
work and to aid farmers in produc-
ing good quality of products and
thus securing a higher price for it.,
the Extension Service has published
Extension Circular 95, Production
and Care of Cream for Shipment" :"
which is now available for distribu-
tion.
The publication contains brief dis
cussion of the necessity for good
cream; how to prepare good quail
ty of cream, and the shipment of
cream. Special emphasis is placed on
cleanliness; on feeds; on separation
and cooling practices; and on care in
shipping, as factors in good quality
and good returns.

Pear Blight.

Clemson College, May 8.--Blight
is the most destructive pear disease
with which growers have to contend.
It is present in practically all pear
growing regions and in many places
is so severe as to prevent commercial
pear production entirely. 1t is caused
by bacteric which gain entrance into
the tissues while they are tender,
usually by way of the blossoms and
multiplies there. Soon the affected
parts die and assume blackish col
or. Pear trees with large NUMBERS of
blighted twigs are extremely COM
mon.
Control is very difficult, as the dis
ease does not respond to spraying,
and there are no commercial pear va
rieties which are resistant to any ex-
tent. Eventually resistant varieties
may solve the problem of ttis dis
lease, but that time has not yet come.
At present the best that can be
.done is to handle the trees to make
them as resistant as possible and to
trim out the dead and cankered
branches in the winter time. The
trimmings should be burned. In order
TO prevent over-spsceptibility exces-
sive nitrogen fertilization ard too
thorough cultivation should be avoid
ed, since these practices induce a
large growth of soft shoots which
contract the disease very rapidly. In
fact, it is better after few years to
leave the trees uncultivated and let
7them grow in sod.
In pruning, all cankered and dead
parts should be removed, taking care
TO remove three or four inches of
healthy tissues also if possible in or
der to be sure that all of the diseased
portions are removed. The knife or
