COUNTERFEIT NICKEL
IN CIRCULATION AND
PLANT MAY BE HERE
Defect in Indian Head No.
ticeable on ExamirG-
ton.

That gang OF counterfeiterS Is
operating in San Antonio. devOting
their work principally TO the manu-
facture of small coins was the theory
advanced Friday morning by Deputy
Sheriff Alphonse Newton Jr.. when a
counterfeit buffalo pickel was brought
to him. The nickel had been paid to
"a restaurant proprietor.
Deputy Newton said lie had had
similar renoTts of counterfeit coins of
small denominations having been
passed but this was the first one ia
he brought TO his personal attention.
Because they were small coins. he
said. no specific complaints have been
made.
The coin received Friday is Il very
good imitation of a nickel. though 10
the experienced eye of Department,
Qf Justice operative its character was
quickly apparent. Chief Deputy New
ton turned the coin over 10 the De-
partment of Justice which is now
working on the case.
The nickel is of lighter color than
the real coin and though the buffalo
and Indian head are well defined they
are not as clear cut as those on other
coins. The edges of the nickel are
somewhat irregular and there are
other minor defects.
While the passing OF one coin would
not warrant any extensive investiga.
ton. Chief Deputy Newton said. it
may be possible that the counterfeiters
are operating on a large scale and plan
to turn their attention TO silver and
POSSIBLY bank notes. For this reason.
in addition TO calling upon the Depart
ment of Justice for assistance. Chief
Newton has instructed his deputies to
keen a Shar1 lookout for counterfeit
coins and To start a thorough investi-

Improvement in Quality
Assists Value of Lambs

Most of the sheep in South Carolina
show decided lack of breeding and
care, which means that in order to put
a first-class product on the market
some improvements must be made
These improvements require very little
expense and labor, advises E. G. God
hey, associate animal husbandman, in
making suggestions along this line.
The use of pure bred rams will make
more improvement in the appearance
of the fiocks than any other one thing
These rams can be put on the farm at
from $50 to $50 per head. At the pres.
ent time, great number of scrub
rams run with the ewes for the entire
year. These rams have very poor NUT
ton conformation and a light wool
covering. and in many cases they are
closely related to some of the ewes
This haphazard method of breeding
has resulted in sheep that are long
legged and narrow and shallow bodied
Their wool is also short. coarse and
open, which makes a poor quality
product for the market. One cross
with pure bred ram will make q
marked change in the appearance and
weight of the lambs. Save the eve
lambs and breed them after they are
year old. Buy new ram or trade
with neighbor.

Raising of Early Lambs
Recommended by Experts

The raising of early lambs rather
than late ones is recommended by
sheep husbandry men at the Kansas
State Agriculture college, who say
that breeding for early lambs should
start early i1f the fall.
It is true that early lamb raising
takes more equipment and that the
lambs and ewes must be partly barn
fed. But those who raise early lambs
find that their returns are more than
enough to cover the cost of extra feed
and care at a time when other farm
work is not urgent, the live stock ex-
perts point out.
Early lambs are those which are
dropped from the middle Of February
to March Z. They usually can be sent
to market before midsummer without
any trouble. Thus lambs avoid poor
summer pasture and danger Of worm
infestation.
Early breeding can be accomplished
by flushing ewes ten days in advance
Of breeding season. Oats are recon-
mended for this purpose. Flushing at
breeding time makes a marked influ-
ence on the number Of lambs.

Avoid Damage From Bugs
by Cleaning Out Bins

II farmers are to avoid damage from
the, grain beetles, they should clean
out their grain bins and remove any
old grain that may be left in the cor
ners and hooks Of the bin, according to
DR.. G. J. Drake. entomologist, Iowa
State college.
In case the new grain must be stored
with the old, inspect the old grain be-
fore using the bin. II it is infested
Nth the weevil, treat with carbon BIZ
sulphide at the rate Of one pound of
chemical to 100 bushels of grain. If
the grain is less than four feet deep,
put the chemical in shallow pans on
top of the grain; otherwise, pour 1t
down through the grain in pipes. About
"a hours fumigation in tightly closed
bin is sufficient to kill the unwelcome
boarder.

Plain System of Poultry
Accounts Is Important

A definite record of expenditures and
receipts is one of the greatest needs OF
many poultry keepers. Without it, the
poultryman is hardly able to determine
the extent Of success or failure of his
work.
In Farmers Bulletin 1927, just Is
sued, the United States Department OF
Agriculture gives simple system Of
poultry accounts by which the neces.
sary records can be easily kept. This
system may be used either by the
poultry keeper who has small flock
or by the commercial poultryman.
A study of his records kept according
to this system will enable the poultry
man to determine which parts of the
operation of the farm are profitable
and where the costs are too much. The
actual equipment necessary and the
amount Of feed required for the opera
ton of a commercial poultry farm are
also given.

Much Roadway Made
Against Animal T. B.
Work of Eradication Going
on Quite Satisfactorily.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The work of eradicating tubercu-
losis from the cattle herds of the
country has been going forward so
satisfactorily in recent years that it
Is predicted by those in charge of the
work Of the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture that within eight
years 1t Is probable that as many as
80 states may be free Of the plague.
This will permit Of the consolidation
Of the veterinary forces SO that work
may be carried on more rapidly in
the remaining states where the extent
Of infection is greater. The system
attic plan of eradication has been go
ing on in earnest since 1917.
According to figures compiled from
reports received by the department
from field forces in the various states,
about S1s per cent of the cattle In
the country are tuberculous In many
Of the states, of course, the infection
is much more extensive.
The progress made in the work dur.
ing the fiscal year terminating June
30, 1924, was greater than in any pre-,
yious year. The accredited herds in
creased from 2S,526 to 4S,273. A bet
ter indication of progress, however,
was the extension Of the plan whereby
areas, such as counties, have been
cleaned up in one whirlwind cam
paign. In the past year the number
of counties adopting this plan in
creased from 1913 to 81.
During the fiscal year 1924 more
than 100000 cattle were tested. The
prospects are, from present indica-
lions, that this record will be exceed.
ed by more than million during the
current fiscal year.

Swamp-Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
at all drug observation-disclosures.

Ground Feeds for Hens

A good mash, containing only II per

LAYING hens of general purpose breeds,
has been developed by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
remainder of the protein in the mash
is contained in vegetable form and the
33 per cent of ground oats and bran
giyes the desired bulk. The mash
seems to be particularly good in rails
ing the hatchability and fertility of
eggs. The more stimulating rations
seem to cause an overfat condition.

Korean Lespedeza
Good Forage Crop
Earliness Of Legume Is Its
Chief Value for Pasture in
Many Sections.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuiture.l
A new forage crop has been devel-
opened by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture which will serve
useful field in that part Of the United
States which may be roughly described
as zone lying between southern
Pennsylvania and northern Ohio on the
north and the southern border of Vir-
ginia and Kentucky on the south, ex-
tending from the Atlantic coast to
Iowa. 1t has also given promise in
Kansas, on the eastern border Of the
Great Plains and to some extent far
Their west.
Differs In EarIiness.
This new forage crop, Korean les
pedeza, Is a legume and is close rel
alive Of the common or Japanese les
pedeza already widely distributed In
the southern states, but differs from
1t in size, coarseness, and earliness as
well as in technical characters. 1t Is
described in Department Circular 81.
Just issued by the department.
Its earliness Is believed to be a
weakness so far as its use in the
South is concerned, and it seems prob
able that over the greater part of the
area where it will reproduce with GER
tainty the common lespedeza will be
the more valuable form. The new
variety natures so early that, in the
latitude of Washington. D. c.. 1t is
ripe and dead at least month before
killing frost and so produces no
grazing at time when the common
variety is still green and fit to Craze.
On the other hand, the new Korean
variety starts earlier in the spring
and grows more rapidly, thus furnish
ing grazing before the common or Jap
anese has attained sufficient size to be
pastured Its earliness is its chief
value for that part of the United
States outlined above.
Considered With Favor.
Included in the bulletin are several
reports from various experiment sta
lions where the new crop has been
tested and it is considered with much
favor. 1t has done exceedingly well
in Iowa. A copy Of the circular may
be had upon request, as long as the
supply lasts, from the United States

angles to the line Of vision, has been
designed especially for the use OF
detectives, or others who desire to
obtain photographs without the knowl-
edge of the subjects. A dummy lens
at one end resembles that Of field
glass. Thus the user is able to take
a picture at right angles to the osten-

contained in what appears to be the
eyepiece. The camera can be focused
