Dog Grieving to Death for
Master.

Saluda, S. c., July 14.-Not mad,
not sick. No physical ailment what
ever, but just simply grieving to
death, is the present condition of
"Collie," the handsome collie dog be-
longing to Hon. w. l.. Daniel and
family. Having sold his home several
weeks ago to Guy H. Able, Mr.. Dan
iel vacated the apartment on July 3,
leaving Saluda for Charleston for a
two months visit. Prior to his going,
however, he made arrangements with
Mr.. Able, who moved into the house
on July 4, to care for "Collie" dur
ing their two months visit. Since that
time, "Collie" has refused to eat at
his new boarding place, Mr.. Able
states, he has tried many kinds of
tempting food on the dog and still he
refuses to eat. He drinks a little wa
ter occasionally. "Collie" is becoming
very feeble, just merely able to stand
up. The Daniels have been notified
Mr.. Able states, of Collie's plight,
and hopes some member of the fam
lily will arrive before it is too late to
save the dogs life.

Plant Rutabagas This Month.

Clemson College, July Ia. Ruta-
bagas should be planted between the
18th of July and the fifteenth of Au-
gust. In the eastern part Of the State.
the fifteenth of August is not too
late, but in the central and western
parts it is better to plant the middle
of July, advises Prof. c. C. Newman,
Horticulturist.
The land should be thoroughly pre-
pared by blowing and narrowing I'M
til a perfect seed bed has been form
ed. The fertilizer should be applied
broadcast at the rate of 500 to 1000
pounds per acre after blowing and
before narrowing. A fertilizer analyz-
ing 8 per cent phosphoric acid, 4
per cent nitrogen and 8 per cent pot
ash will give good results on a san
dy loan soil. In clayey loan soil it is
not necessary to have more than l to
1 1-2 per cent potash.
The main trouble in growing ruta-
bagas is in securing a good stand
during the hot summer months. Ex-
p%erience has shown that when the
seed are planted in burrows two inch
es deep and covered by simply run
ming a wheel of an old w~heelbarrow
or planter over the row the seed will
be mashed into the soil and covered
sufficiently. Then when the seed ger
inmate, the roots will be near the
moist soil and will therefore stand
drought we'll. When planted on the
surface they will be slow about ger
minating and when they do terminate
the young plants may die on account
of drought. About a pound of seed
will plant an acre in rows about three
feet apart.
After the plants have come up to
a good stand and have formed the
fourth leaf, they should be thinned
to 10 to IL inches apart in the row,
and cultivated clean, the soil grad
ually worked towards the plants.
The turnips will be ready for use
about the first Of November, but
there is no necessity for harvesting
them until the weather has turned
very cold, say the first of December.
The turnips are pulled up and the
tops cut off below the bud and the
roots banked by covering with soil.
Ten to fifteen bushels Of turnips may
be put in one bank and piled up in
cone shape. They should be covered
by at least six inches of soil. Turnips
put up in this way will keep in per-
feet condition until the weather be-
gins to turn warm in the spring.

Preventing Contact Cases o
Typhoid.

A subscriber writes: eve have a
case of typhoid in u home. We
have just had the first dose Of vac
cine. Besides the vaccination what
would you recommend to keep the
rest of us five in number) from TAX
ing the fever?"
AS you have a doctor in attend
ance at your home and he is already
giving the typhoid vaccine, the first
suggestion is that you look to your
doctor and not to your neighbors for
advice. The doctor, I am sure, will ap-
prove of the following measures; ne
may give you additional suggestions
to meet any special conditions which
may arise in your home.
The patient should be kept in a
screened room or at least under a bed
net that will not allow the flies to
touch him. All flies about the house
should be caught and killed and their
breeding places (mainly horse ma
nure and the filth in the open priv
les should be removed. A sanitary
(fy-proof) privy should be install
ed;-your state board of health will
send specifications for building same.
AS few persons as possible should
wait on the patient, and those doing
the nursing should never cook for
others in the family. The ones who
wait on the patient in any way should
wash their hands thoroughly and dip
them in an antiseptic solution Ia ia
blespoon of carbolic acid in a pint of
water) every time they touch the
sick. Eat nothing that has been in
the sick room. All the dishes that are
used by the patient should be boiled
before they are handled or used by
anyone else.
1t is very important to disinfect
the bowel and kidney movements of
the sick person. This may be done by
placing two large heaping tablespoon
fuls of unslaked lime in each half
pint of discharge and then adding a
pint of boiling water. The discharges
should be thoroughly mixed with the
solution and allowed to stand for two
hours, then should be huried.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.

Cotton Growers Association
Secured Funds.

Columbia, July 17.-The South
Carolina Cotton Growers Coopera-
tive Association has made arrange
ments with the War Finance Corpo-
ration for an advance of S10,000,O 600.
This money will be used in making
advances to the members of the as
ISOLATION. Each member will receive
65 per cent of the current market
value of his cotton at the time he de-
livers his cotton to the association.
With the financing problem solved,
all officers elected and many of the
technical heads chosen, and the head
quarters practically in shape for oc-
cupancy, only the warehouse problem
remains to be solved and the associa-
ton will be ready to function. No
trouble is anticipated in securing am
pie warehouse space. Owners Of ware
houses all over South Carolina have
rendered their space to the associa-
ton for it's use if needed.
Now that the association is about
ready to function there are many
farmers over the state who have de-
cided to join. There was a steady in
flow of contracts last week and the
number is expected to increase each
week from now until September l
when it will be necessary to close the
membership books.
During the past week there has
been a steady stream Of visitors from
every section of the state to .associa-
ton headquarters and without excep-
ton they have told of the strong 10y
atty on the part of the members in
their respective sections to the asso-
citation and of the growing enthusi-
asm for cooperativ marketing.

More About Bur Clover.

Clemson College, July l4.-Bur
clover has about the same soil I'M
provement value per ton of growth
as does crimson clover, says N. p.
Winters, Specialist in Soil Fertility,
who thinks that a great many men
do not have the patience to get a
start of bur clover, and that a great
many have a half acre of it back OF
the barn, trying to fertil;ze the whole
farm with it.
If bur clover is scattered over a
field soon after the seed are harvest
ed. any time during June and July,
it is like ly that at least a patchy
field of bur clover will be obtained
the first winter.
One farmer / know, continues Mr..
Winters, just shovels the seed in his
wagon, and while his boy drives the
team he throws it in piles over the
field as the wagon moves along.
asked him one day why he did not
try to scatter it uniformly over the
field and he replied: "The stuff grows
in punches the first year, so / may
as we'll sow in punches" After two or
three years with proper treatment,
however, he would have a good field
of bur clover.
Several instances have been noted
in South Carolina and other South
ern States regarding the value OF
bur clover. AS an example, Mr.. G. w.
Salter, Ward, S. c., Route 2, in four
wears in rotation with corn and cot
ton multiplied his yields of corn by
three and doubled his yield of cotton,
at the same time increasing his fer
tilizer bill to where he was using only
200 pounds of acid phosphate per
acre on corn and the same on cotton.
The bur clover was supplying the God
given nitrogen, and the organic mat
ter added to his soil from the clover
was making the potash available in
his Piedmont land.

Nitrogen in Nitrate Of Soda
Does not "Evaporate Into
the Air"

A reader writes: II put nitrate OF
soda around cotton and corn about
10 days ago, since when we have had
no rain and very little of it is visible
on the ground now. Was most of my
nitrate wasted by evaporation into
the air? Some people tell me that the
nitrogen in the nitrate of soda soon
goes into the air if not covered with
dirt or driven into the ground by wa
ter, and I have heard that it does not
go into the air."
Your nitrate was not wasted by
Evaporation in the air" The nitro
gen in nitrate of soda does not go
into the air. 1t has largely disappear
ed from the surface Of the soil be-
cause it has taken up moisture, prob
ably from both the soil and the air,
and has gone into the soil moisture
and through this soil moisture part
of it has no doubt already reacneo
the growing plants.
In dry weather it is of course, bet
ter to work the nitrate into the soil
by cultivation, because it finds more
moisture there and more quickly
feeds the plants, but it is not lost into
the air, at least, in any appreciate
quantity. Except in very dry weather
and a very dry soil there is usually
enough moisture in the soil to dissolve
the nitrate. In fact, its easily solu-
BILE character is one of its advantages
as a q%uick-acting fertilizer. Your nj
trate of soda may not have done your
crop as much good as if it had been
dissolved and diffused through the
soil more quickly, but it has not gone
into the air and c%ultivating into the
top soil what it still left on the sur
face of the ground is probably still

Planting and Cu,tivating Fall
Potatoes.

Clemson College, July 14.-Taose
who would grow a crop of fall Irish
potatoes are reminded that the time
to plant this crop for best success is
from July 10 to about August L, and
that the Lookout Mountain variety
gives the best results because of its
good yield and keeping quality. The
following suggestions are made by
the horticulturist specialists on meth
DDS of planting and cultivation.
Planting.-Moisture content and
previous preparation of the soil pre-
determine the stand. Preparatory to
planting, it is we'll to reopen the fur
rows and to follow Immediately (be-
fore giving the soil time to lose any
of its moisture) by dropping the tu-
bers or parts of tubers, IL TO IA
inches apart in the drill and cover
ing to a depth of 3 to 6 inches, de-
pending upon the character OF the
soil-heavier soils being planted
more shallow than lighter soils. Parts
of cut tubers should be as large as
practicable. Packing the soil about
the tubers either by stepping lightly
with a rubber sole shoe of with the
bare foot directly upon the tuber
when dropped, or by use of a light
roller following covering with the
pillow, insures a much better stand, If
the soil is sufficiently well p%ulverized
to prevent crushing the tubers.
If tubers of the spring crop OF the
current year are used for planting
the second or fall crop, "sprouting'
preparatory to planting will be very
helpful in obtaining a stand. This is
recommended only where it is not
possible to get seed that have been
held over in cold storage or otherwise
and may be done by drying the tu-
bers by stacking IN trays OF saailo"
piles in an open shed excluding the
light for a period of ten to fourteen
days. and then spreading them upon
the ground in g. cool shady place Gov
cred with straw to a depth of 8 to d
inches and watering sufficiently to
saturate the straw but by no means
such as to drench the tubers. Plant
ing should be done as soon as slight
%sprouting begins.
observation-disclosures shallow cul
tivation, either by narrowing across
or with the rows, should be given at
intervals of one week apart or as
soon after each rain as soil condl-
tons will permit, until a good stand
is obtained; after which cultivation
should be such as may be necessary
to keep the crop in a high state OF
cultivation. Under normal conditions,
from 80 to 10 days from planting
will be required TO make the crop.

Two Cent Stamp Extends

Washington, July 1.-The little
two cent postage stamp, representing
in service probably the biggest value
obtainable for the money, has extend
ed its field of usefulness. 1t now will
carry a one-ounce letter to any post
office in half a hundred foreign coun-
tries in addition to any n of the
more than $4,000 postofices in the
United States, the many more in Can
ada. Cuba and Mexico and, of course,
to any of the postofices in American
possessions overseas. The extension
of the two cent rate to so many for
eign lands is saving Americans, par
ticularly business men, thousands of
dollars annually in foreign postage,
assisting in extending American for
eign trade, and, government officials
believe, is tending to cultivate more
friendly relations with foreign .peo-
pies.
The two cent rate was put into eff
feet neal the close of last year to Ar
gentina, Brazil, Costa RIGA, Ecuador,
Jamaica and Martinique. On March l
this year Bermuda and Haiti were add
ed to the list of foreign countries.
Many Americans, it is believed, still
use a five cent stamp in sending let
tiers to a number of the foreign coun-
tries where the two cent rate pre-
walls.
The countries now include:
Alaska; Anguilla, Antigua, Argen-
tina, Bahama islands, Barbuda, Bar
bados, Bermuda, Bolivia, Bon Ayre,
Brazil, British Guiana, British Hon
duras, British Virgin Islands, Canada,
Canal Zone, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican
republic, Dutch West Indies, Ecua-
dor, England, Grenada, The Grena-
dimes, Guam, Haiti, Hawaii, Hondu-
ras, Ireland, Jamaica, Leeward is
lands, Martinique, Mexico, Montser-
rat, Nevis, Newfoundland, Nicarau-
qua, New Zealand, Panama, Peru,
Philippines, Puerto Rico, Redonda,
St. Kits, Shanghai, China; St. Vim
cent, St. Lucia, Tobago, Tutuilla, Sa-
moa, Trinidad, Virgin islands of the
United States, Western Samoa, Wind
ward islands.
Postal officials have no complete
statistics showing to what extent the
two cent rate has stipulated foreign
correspondence. Some slight indica-
ton is given in figures relating to
letter mail to Bermuda, to which
British colony the two cent rate was
extended March 1. During that month
2,416 pounds Of American letters
were sent forward to Bermuda. AS
suming, for purposes of comparison,
they each weigh one ounce that quail
ity would represent 1866 letters. AT
the two cent rate they cost $773.12
in postage, while at the five cent rate
they would have cost S1,932.S0. There
was a saving of $1,159.68 in postage,
therefore. In March last year 1892
pounds of American letters went to
Bermuda. They would represent So
272 on the same basis, Of 1882 few
er letters than sent in March this
year, when the two cent rate was in
effect.
