Not only is there more dry feed and pasturage in the state, but at last there are mar kets also--good markets. that put the South Carolina stock raiser on an equal footing with the citizen of any other locality. Having made many preparations and taken numerous pre liminary steps and after making two actual experiments last year, the ex tension division of Clemson College is prepared now to undertake to super vise the feeding and marketing of thousands of cattle and hogs this win ter aind spring and is making arrange. inents accordingly. The live stock markets of the state are at Greenville. Greenwood, Rock 1111. Columbia, Florence and Charles ton. At each point livestock pens are under construction. These cities are concentration and selling points. A man raising cattle and hoks will ship them for market to the one of these points nearest to him. The railroads have granted what is known as a sell ing-in-transit rate which will help greatly in reducing the cost of trans portation. In short, the facilities for marketing are already here. Buyers Coming Here. W. W. Long, state agent and direc tor of extension at Clemson College, has made arrangements with a number of prominent stock buyers of the east 'ert markets to attend the sales in South Carolina. There will be two sales periods this season, one a mid winter sale and the other a spring sale, and the buyers will come to South Carolina on these two occasions and go from one to another of the cen tral market points. This reverses the older order of things, under which the So1th Crolina farmer shipped his cat tle to eastern markets and trusted to his luck for what he could get for them. *This co-operative marketing plan has received wide attention outside the state and a nutmber- of leading farm pulic(ations have noticed it fav orably. 'it is also considered by the United States department of agricul ture as one of the best methods possi ble of developing the livestock industry of the South. Illustrated posters were sent freom Clemson College late in Juiy urging far-mers to select their feeders in Aug ust. In response to this, many people wrote to the college asking where feeders could be purchased and ex pressing their intention to buy.

How to Select Feeders. Farmers who have not yet selected their feeders should (1o so at once. In choosing feeders, look for the animal with the blocky form. Do not take rangy, leggy stuff with shallow bodies. The constitution of the animal has an important bearing on his value as a feeder. This is Indicated by a short, broad head, broad muzzle, open nos trils, large heart girth and clear eye. Look especially at the head, as the re mainder of the animal generally corre sponds to the head. Pick a short, broad head. Another important point is feeding capacity. Just as a dairy cow is a machine for turning feed into milk, so is a beef animal a machine for turn ing feed Into beef. Select feeders with big feeding capacity. Quality, which is important also, Is 'indicated by general form, fineness of hair, size of bone and horn and thick ness of skin. Farmers who have stock of their own breeding are advised to keep them for feeding and not to sell them off grass this fall. It is profitable to .finish cattle. The finished steer is the one that brings the most money. Care of Cattle. The care of feeding cattle is most important. There is much truth In the old Flemish proverb that "the eye of the master fattens his cattle." Two men may give their cattle exactly the same feed, yet one lot of stufr may do much better than another, merely be cause of the difference in care. One point to remember is to watch the cat tle closely for scours. When an animal scours the chances are that it is get ting too much feed or unbalanced feed. Another point to be observed is regu larity of feeding and watering. Let ting a steer go several hours past Its feeding time may cause it to gorge It selt to such arr extent as to develop serious trouble with its: digestion. In general, a safe rule is that the cattle that are best cared for wifl fatten best. The feeding of the cattle and~ hogs for these co-operative markets will be directed by the demorrstration and er tension forces of Clemson Coflege. The feeding will be supervised' directly by the county demonstgation agents. wll'ile all special cases will receive at terrtion from the ivestockt specialists: of the extenean dllvision of efemsom S1DNPIY- E ftITTENBERG, Agricultural Pitblicist.
