Governor Robinson has freely availed
himself Of the privilege conferred on the
Executive by the amended constitution Of
vetoing such items in an appropriation bill
as may seem TO him to be undesirable and
approving such as are unobjectionable. The
Governor, exercising this salutary power,
has rejected the extravagant appropriation
Of one million dollars for work on the new
Capitol, contained in the Supply bill, and
over half million in smaller items, en-
bracing amounts for law Libraries, asylums,
hospitals, reformatories, monuments and
the relief Of private individuals. The Gov
ernor gives reason for his rejection of
each item, mainly based on constitutional
objections or the untime liness of gener-
osity while the country is in condition of
business paralysis and general depression.
There will, of course, be difference of
opinion as to the expediency Of some por-
tons of the Governors action, but the lesson
OF economy and of strict observance OF
constitutional requirements which he reads
to the Legislature will be useful. 1t is IN
derstood that an appropriation Of half a
million for work on the Capitol would meet
the Governors approval, and this is all that
ought to be used during the next twelve
months. The rigid economy which induces
the Governor to veto appropriations for re-
formatory and charitable institutions, and
for law libraries, seems to render it diff
cult for him to withhold his approval Of
the Omnibus bill, which sweeps away a
number of utterly useless Offices in the
New York city government, and lays the
foundation for far more important reduce
tons in the expenses Of the departments

What is considered moderate drink
ing a few years hence would have
been regarded as drunkard's por-
ton in the earlier stages of moder-
ate drinking.
In looking over the list of deaths
published daily, there can always be
found some who have shortened
their lives by excessive drink. In
their younger days they boasted q
sufficient amount of self control to
continue on through life as moder-
ate drinkers. When cautioned by
friends that it was growing habit
that few had been able to hold in
check. they either laughed at or got
angry with their monitor. We who
have passed the middle age of life
find at Greenmount among the
tombstomes, the record of hundreds
of those who ought to be alive now,
and would be with their families and
friends but for the fact that they
needed not such warning from their
friends as we are now giving TO all
the readers of the Anaerican.-Bal-
timore american.

lambs from such ewes and rams of
like character will sell at three dol
lars per head; but we must have
good grade ewes produced by the
use of thoroughbred rams upon COM
mon ewes. Such rams can be had
from reliable breeders at from $15 to
$50 each, and one ram will serve
fifty ewes in one season.
The above estimate we claim to
be fair one, and il shows an in
creased iHcome of one dollar per
acre IN addition to everything else,
and we claim that the increased fer
tility of the soil will more than cover
all expenses, including outlay for
purchase of rams to breed to, and
that the one dollar per acre is net
profit.
This seems q small sum, but
when we consider the number OF
acres in actual cultivation in any
one county, and in the county OF
Granger there are ninety thousand
acres of arabic land, which would
give as increased production the
great sum of 100000, an amount
that by far exceeds the total income
from sheep in any ten counties in
East Tennessee.

A few sheep on the farm is only

enumerated, and the benefits to be
derived would make ours a happy,

Shorthorns for Granger.

Capt. r. B. Bundren, one OF the
most energetic cattle dealers in East
Tennessee, has just returned from
the blue grass region OF Kentucky
bringing out to his farm near Thorn
Hill, in Granger county, some splen-
didly bred Shorthorn cattle. Among
them, the young bull, Master Fill
gree, from tue renowned Woodburn
herd OF Mr.. A. j. Alexander, and
from the most fashionably bred cat
tie in that celebrated herd. The
five year old cow, Julia I'd, and
her handsome yearling heifer by
Earl of Oxford, 1912, (brother to the
$4,000 Duchess). were also pur-
chased and brought out. These two
fine animals are highly bred, being
descended from Mr.. Dunn's imported
Red Rose, by Earnestly, 1917, and
are a valuable addition to the Short
horns of Granger, and though cost

names are added TO the list of sue

whose pioneer efforts are meeting
with the wonted success of such en-

Capt. Brunden also brings out the
finely bred Young Mary heifer, Allie
Towneley, to become a member OF
the Clinchdale herd. She was Sc
lected and purchased by Mr.. Leslie
Combs, jr., Of Lexington, KY, for
her present owners. This young
cow is overwhelmingly beautifuP'-a

The farmer should be a king
among men-his wife, should be
queen, and his children should bear
the imprint Of natures nobility.
These honors are bestowed, not by
an earthly potentate or power, but
by the creator himself. How uu-
reasonable, then. to be ashamed Of
our callingl How foolish to pine
for soft hands, white faces and ele-
CANT leisurel Every farmer should
assert his sovereign rights, and COM
pei recognition from all other classes.
Intelligence will accomplish this OBJ
ject, and every farmer. with his wife
and children, should neglect no OPP
portunity to educate themselves to
the fullest possible extent.

Keeping Sheep.

From every quarter comes the cry
of hard times, money scarce, high
taxes, oppressive rates of freight
and hundreds of other similar com
plants and grumbling, and a great
deal Of it not without serious cause,
for no other class Of men under the
sun are so much neglected, Cypress
ed and so little protected as the
farmer-the producer-the bone and
sinew OF the country, upon whose
toll the foundation of ever pursuit
engaged in by man is based.
Tie rights and privileges OF the
patriotic fox-hunter whose laudable
efforts to exterminate from our
mountains the last specimen of rey-
nard and leave to the cur the mo-
nopoly of the feast of mutton pre-
pared by the farmer for their repast
each year, are not so entirely neg
lected by our courts and legislators.
Notwithstanding all the trials and
troubles the farmers are subjected to,
much OF their failure to prosper is
attributable to the fact that their
lands are not made to yield to the
extent that more energy, enterprise
and thorough cultivation would make
them do,
Let Us take practical view of the
snbiect of this article. and consider

Moderate Drinkers.

Almost every one has in his
minds eye men who call them
selves moderate drinkers, who think
that one or two drinks of whisky
per day is good for the stomach's
sake. If they are unwell at any
time they think that little whisky
is the best medicine they can take.
1t is observable, however, that mod
crate drinkers are mostly young
men. When they marry and go to
housekeeping they consider it nee
essa=y to always peep a little demi-
john of whisky in the cupboard. and
if a friend drops in, they think it
would be a lack of hospitality if
they should fail to offer him glass
of something. They don't wait for
the visitor to ask for refreshments.
and it soon becomes to be under
stood that it is the established rule
of the house. The moderate drink
ers, and some that are immoderate,
find it a pleasant place to visit, and
the host feels that it would not be
the right thing If he should fail to
take glass along with each visitor.
His children are also gradually
taught that little strong drink is
good for the stomach. They grow
up with the idea that when they
have houses of their own the demi-
john is an article Of furniture that
must not be overlooked. A toddy
at dinner and punch before retir.
ing is supposed by them to be
healthy and invigOrating. and they
will start out in life priding them
selves upon their self control to
keep from exceeding their limit.
Some few who live to old age may
continue moderate drinkers, but it
is like opium or laudanum-it grows
upon most men. What they consid-
er in the first years Of their man.
hood will not satisfy them n few
years hence. They will require a
little bitters before breakfast, an
appetizer before dinner, and an oc~
casional glass of beer during the
day. Then their heads will begin to
swell and their hearts become irregu-
lar in their pulsation.
If we would look around among
those of our acquaintance who are
recognized as excessive drinkers,
and who are virtually staggering to
premature graves, we will find that
they boasted in early life of being
moderate drinkers. II we take
view of the young men who are
drinking to excess we will find that
most of them are sons OF men who
regarded the demijohn as a house
hold necessity. The few old men
who keep to the moderate standard
are so inconsiderable that they can
only be regarded as exceptions that
prove the rule that the moderate
drinker ultimately swells the ranks
OF the confirmed drunkard. The
troubles and migfortunes of life sng-
gest to him an extra glass to revive
his spirits. Even business success
is apt to draw him To deeper cups,
as be is able 10 take more time and
pleasure and requires exhilarating
enjoyments.
Depend upon it that the "moder.
ate drinker' has only q transient ex-
istence. A very small dose OF
opium produces the desired effect
when first taken, but the same guam
tity a year hence would have no
effect at all. A glass of toddy will
exhilarate those who are young and
not accustomed to strong drink, bnt
it must be taken stronger or more
frequently to have the same effect
after q year or two of the habit.
