THE HARROW.
I No better implement was ever car
'rfied on a afrm. Certainly the betak
ing plow is important, but its work is
made much more efficient if it is pre
cee with a Disc harrow in at least
tehree ways. (1) The vegetable mat
ter is cut up so that it will the more
easily become incorporated with the
soil. (2) It will cut the two or three
I inches of top soil thus permitting the
breaking plow to go deeper with less
• raft. (3) Certainly the soil will pul
verize better behind the breaking plow.
Os course, if the soil becomes baked
the Disc will serve to loosen it up
again. The Disc also has its place in
bedding out the land after the rows
have been marked out. This saves one
hand, and the earning capacity of the
one used is increased. Some have
saved labor by using the Disc in culti
vation. while the plants are small. So
it has its use an ony farm.
The Section, or Peg Tooth, harrow
has its place in making a thoroughly
pulverized seed-bed behind the break
ing plow. In some places in Sumter
its use is not appreciated as much as
it should be for obtaining the best con
dition of the soil. For instance, when
the land is broken or re-broken flat in
the late "winter or eaorly spring
months, if one would have the best
condition then the section harrow
should be used once a day. The soil
will pulverize better when it is green
than it ever will afterwards. A pair
of mules can easily harrow in an hour
and a half what they have broken the
rest of the day. Where the land is
broken before Christmas the best
condition is had by leaving it in the
rough, letting the freezes do the pulv
erizing. The section harrow should be
Austro-Hungarian Call To
Colors Shows Work of Age
VIENNA, March 4. —The calling to
the colors of men between the ages of
fifty and fifty-five, has caused the dis
cussion in the Austro-Hungarian press
ci what the older men have done in
this war.
The view has been generally held
that the man at fifty had passed into
cld age, so far as military value was
concerned ,but the war is said to have
proven that this position is untenable.
It is admitted that in trades and
occupations requiring physical dexter
ity, the man over fifty is apt to -be a
failure, though ths well-preserved
worker of that age is generally still
capable of great endurance.
The experience in the army is that
men up to thirty are generally less
hardy than men up to fifty. Iu addition
to being as yet far from “physically
set,” that is entirely beyond the grow
ing stage, the younger men often re
duce their endurance and physical vig
or, generally by incorrect eating. Older
men are not in the habit of doing this,
it is asesrted.
But the young men sin also in otherl
respects. Often they are indifferent to
hardships when they should not be; |
while the older men see to it that their
feet are always dry and warm, the
younger soldiers overlook this habit- 1
] ually.
] With the officers, the older soldier is
the favorite. Not only does he give
j less trouble to the sanitary depart-'
ment, but his riped mind understands
more readily the purposes and neces-
1 sity of military discipline.
j An Austrian colonel with whom this
subject was discussed said that older
| troops needed little application of dis
cipline, because their natural conduct
' as grown men was discipline in itself.
Hr had seen no differences in the
fighting qualities of young and older
troops, he said, but he himself would
Jilways prefer to lead men over the
age of thirty-five.
Os every young troops, the colonel
had a poor opinion. In trench war
fare their value was not high. Constant
reiteration of commands and orders
was the lot of the officer who com
mandod “young bloods,” while the

used in late winter months to break
the crust on fall broken land. Break ■
ing the crust admits heat and air as
well as conserves moisture, warming;
up the soil earlier which Induces ■
earlier germination of seeds and a'
better growth of plants. It also makes j
finer the soil particles making the
plant food contained in the soil more
readily available as well as incerases
] tbe water holding capacity of the soil.
| Use the section harrow before plant-
I icg, and it can be used to good advant
; age after the plants aer up either up
i aid down the rows or diagonally"
! across, especially on the stiffer soils.'
There is no better implement for early :
cultivation of peanuts and sugarcane]
where there are no stumps.
Harrow tjxe oats and wheat with a
' Section harrow with the teeth slanting
back about forty-five degrees. Only a
few in Sumter have found out the val
ue of harrowing, or cultivating, the
small grain crops. Some are afraid of
pulling up too much of the crop, but in
actual practice, unless trash is allowed
tc catch the harrow, scarcely none of
the plonts are pulled up, but in two or
three days the good the harrow has
done can easily be seen. If you have
never tried it suppose you do. Os
course this should be done before the
crop is too far advanced. If fertilizer
is used the harrow should follow. On
the lighter soils the weeder will per- j
haps be best. But try harrowing the
oats.
The Acme, or Smoothing, harrow
serves its best place in giving the fin
ishing touches to the seed-bed. It ■
cuts two ways thus pulverizing better |
than the others.
All of them are labor savers. Man- |
labor is the most expensive part of the I
farm operations. Then give the har
rews a chance. Now is the time.
officer in charge of older troops could
count on having orders carried out as
soon as they were given. The old men,
too, fought with more “sense” said the
colonel. They did not shout so much,
but dealt out heavier blows.
Excepting bone fractures and very
serious internal wounds, the old sold
ier gives no more trouble than the
young one to the medical service. Au
thorities are of the opinion that the
smaller percentage of sick among the
older troops counterbalances wholly
what little surgical difficulty they
give.
It is declared by the writer that even
after the war, the man over fifty in Eu
rope will occupy a more important po
sition in the industrial and commercial
fields than he has done in two decades.

BATTLE TURNING

FIGHT AT VERDUN
After desperate battling on the
plateau of Douaumont there is a second
halt of the German drive towards Ver
dun.
Paris announces the cessation of
German infantry attacks, but the artil
lery fire is still heavy. The Germans
announce the repulse of French at
tacks on Douaumont.
The French critics explain the des
ipc-rate fighting in the Douaumont sec
tor by saying that it is the key to a
position essential to the German pur
pose of taking the fortress. The im
portance of German attacks in the oth
er sectors is not overlooked however.
Indications show a contemplated
thrust on vital points such as north
west of the lines where the heights of
Lemort Homme have been under heavy
German fire for some days.
Paris dispatches say that the Wa
, Minister Galleni has expressed con
fidence in the outcome. The French
claim advantage at Douaumont al
though driven from the village their
artillery dominates German positions.
The village is expected to change
hands frequently as the forces apepar
so evenly matched.
The Russian occupation of Bitlis, in
Turkish Armenia, says a Petrograd
dispatch, gives the Russians command
of all of Lake Van region.
Paris denies that the Germans have
sunk two auxiliary cruisers of Havre.

Fort Near Paris Blown Up.
PARIS, March 4.—Two persons were
killed and many injured today in an
expxlosion near Double Couronne Fort
at Couneuve, near St. Denis, a Paris
suburb. The injured fort forms one
of the link of fortifications erected for
defense of Paris. The full extent of
the damage is unknown.
A portion of the ramparts on the
east wing of the fort have been de
stroyed, but beyond this, the military
authorities refuge to divulge. The
cause has not yet been ascertained,
though it is not believed the explos

Two French, One British Cruisers Sunk
BERLIN, March 4.—(Wireless to
Sayville.)—The sinking of two French
auxiliary cruisers and one British pa
trol boat by German submarines is
l announced by the admiralty today.
The announcement states Paris des
patea report the sinking of the trans
port Provence 11., in Mediterranean
waters. The transport carried 1,800
men when it went down, of whom only
696 were saved. .
The Berlin version of the loss of
the Provence 11. minimizes, rather
than otherwise, the loss of the trans
port, which according to early Paris
reports had 4,000 persons on board
when it went down, only about 1,000
being saved.. Paris states the ship
struck a floating mine, there being no
evidence of the presence of a subma
