Common Mistakes In
Caring For Manure
I
We believe that the best place j
'for stable manure is on or in the
land just as soon as it can be put
there, but anyone knows in wet
weather it is not always practi- j
cable to put out manure as soon.
is it is made, and we have often
stated that fact.
Moreover, we have advised (
against putting manure on land i
that washes without promptly 1
mixing it with the top soil at ;
least. This is not to prevent
evaporation, as some seem to
think, but for no other purpose
than to prevent it washing away.
O'f course, if manure is put on a
hillside that is hard, its value will
leach and wash away, just as it
will from the barn lot that is on
a side hill. On the other hand,
if there is a growing cover crop
on land, or if it is fixed in any
way that the manure and soil do
not wash away it is likely to lose
loss on the land than anywhere
■else, except possibly in a deep
stall where it is tramped down
hard and enough bedding and
phosphate rock are used to absorb
the liquid manure.
Another error which is popular
and which seems to be shared by
. our correspondent is that best re
' suits are obtained from manure
when well rotted before being
applied, Better immediate re
sults are obtained; that is, most
good is obtained from it shortly
after being put on. But the total
good is likely to be less, for as a
rule well-rotted manure means
manure that has lost considerable
of its plant foods. Get the ma
nure in the soil, if it is likely to
wash away, or on it, especially if
there is a growing crop on the
land, just as soon as practicable
after it is made, is the safe?t
rule.—The Progressive Farmer.
President Is Confident America
Won't Be Drawn Into War
. l».v Parker It. Amleraon.)
Washington. June 5. Presi
dent Wilson is confident that
the United States will not be
drawn into war with Germany.
He communicated this view to
members of his cabinet at the
meeting yesterday. The Presi
dent's advisers, it transpired to
day, are equally optimistic.
Althrough the officials are guard
ed in discussing the latest phase
of the controversy between
Washington and Berlin it is
known that the hopeful feeling
is based upon the conference
between President Wilson and
Count von Bernstorff last Wed
nesday.
The impression cabinet mem
bers have gained of the con
ference is that it furnished a
real basis for a satisfactory ad
justment of the differences be
tween the two governments.
This does not necessarily mean
•hat there is to be a modification
}f the insistence of the United
pStates upon the observance by
jernjanv of international law
n so far as it applies to neutrals.
It does mean that there is an
>xceptionally well founded reas
on for believing that the German
[overnment, when apprised of
he determination of the Ameri
can people to defend their rights,
ill yield assurance of future
mduct satisfactory to the ad
ministration.

Co-apera!e In Buying
Pure-Bred live Slock
Regardless of the duration of
the war the resident farmer will
make no mistake when he grad
ually substitutes livestock for 1
cotton. He will in that way get
out of competition with ignorant
pauper negro labor which goes 1
to the support of absentee land
lords and time merchants. And
as we grow into the livestock in
dustry we will raise crops that
can be sown and gathered with
horse power and farm machinery,
while our hogs and cows and
colts will still further solve the
hired labor problem by gathering
their own crops in pastures nine
months out of the year. In order
to "grow into the livestock in
dustry," we must co-operate in
the purchase of pure-bred sires
and in the purchase of seeds. In
this line of co-operative activity
every local Union in the cotton
and tobacco section should get
busy. Two or more members in
each local Union should purchase
at least one pure-bred sire this
spring. Investments of this kind
will ultimately pa* the biggest
dividends that it is possible to
obtain by any investment that
can be made by a group of or-
I ganized farmers in the cotton
I section. J. t'RF]KN T , in The

Farmers Should Co-operate
With Fheir County Paper
The Record-Advertiser, pub
lished at Houston, Va., is urging
its rural subscribers to do just
what we should like for our
farmers to do -give us the news
from their farms—to make our
paper a sort of clearing house of
ideas for farmers of this vicinity.
Farmers do not use their local
papers enough, and yet the
papers afford the best and quick
est ways to build up their farm
communities. Every farmer
should tell his local paper about
his successes on the farm and
how they were achieved. We
are always glad to get a "farm
ing story," for it enable* us to
spread the news of progress in
our vicinity. And no one needs
a How of eloquence to tell of
his success. The facts of a
farming success are eloquent in
themselves.
No farmer should be too in
different or too engrossed in
his own work to pass a good
idea along to his fellowmen,
thus giving them the benefit of
his experience. Such articles
are always an inspiration to
others. We well know the true
and lasting Advancement of our
community can come in no other
way than through the upbuild
ing of our farms. Walterboro

What Do You Know.
Do you know that an editor or
a reporter for a newspaper can
in his rounds stop and ask a
hundred persons "what is the
news?" and ninety of the hun
dred will reply, "Nothing
special," and yet 50 out of that
number know something that,
if not found in the next paper,
will astonish them greatly and
disappoint them more, and per
haps make them madder than
hornets. Don't be afraid to let
the newspaper man know it.

It is a grave mistake for mothers to si -g

excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott's

Save The Manure Crop, 1
The secret of profits in all
great manufacturing concerns is
to utilize fully all th? by-pro-1
ducts see that nothing goes to j
waste. This is good sense and
good business. Farmers should
do likewise and su'Ver nothing to
wase.
One of the most important of
farm by-products is manure. Let
us remember that the refuse
from cows, horses and hogs is
worth often $1 per month.
My plan is to use ample litter
to catch liquids and to apply it to
the soil each week, spreading it
thin. The use of cottonseed mea'
as feed adds much to the value
of the manure. Manure is ideal
plant food, and supplies what all
soils need—nitrogen and humus.
It is a shameful exhibition to
see manure exposed to the weath
er or allowed to leach or fire.
In applying manure it is better
; to spread it on top rather than to
plow it under.
Even hen manure is worth
much attention, as each hen
should contribute cents per
| year.—lßA M. HAWKINS, in
1 The Progressive Farmer.
The Camel's Stomach.
The stomach of a camel is
divided into four compartments,
and the walls of these are lined
with large cells, every one of
which can be opened and closed
at will by the means of powerful
muscles. When a camel drinks,
it drinks for such a long time you
really think it never meant to leave
off. The fact is that it is not satis
fying its thirst,but is filling up its
cistern as well. Onejafter another
the compartments of its stomach
are filled with water, and aa soon
as each is quite full it is tightly
closed, Then, when a few hours
later the animal becomes thirsty,
all it tyas to do is to openj one of
the cells and allow the water to
How out. Next day it opens one
or two more cells, and so goes on
day after day until the whole
supply is exhausted, In this
curious way a camel can live five
or even six days without drink
ing at all, and so is able to travel
quite easily through the desert
where the wells are often hun
dreds of miles apart. The Pres
