Wheat in Tennessee.

As result OF some experiments
carried on for four years by the Ten
nessee station. the following conclu-
sions were arrived at:
or the AZ varieties OF wheat grown
on the station farm for the past Jour
years limited number only can be
recommended for general culture.
Poole made the highest yield In
l903-485 bushels; the average for
four years was 1923 bushels. Niger
made. 44.27 busl els In 1903 and aver
aged 3677 bushels for four years. Full
caster produced 1927 bushels In 1903
and averaged 36.2 bushels for four
years. Mediterranean made 42.b5
bushels In 1903 and averaged 1918
bushels for four years.
Early Red Clawson, White wheat
No. 6, Winter King, Eclipse, New
Monarch. Gold Coin, Dawson's Golden
| Chaff, American Bronze and Beard
less Fulcaster have been discarded
after four years trial as unsuitable
varieties for this state.
Some Of the reasons for the low
Yields reported by Tennessee farmers
are, failure to rotate and to pre-
pare the seed-bed properly, a def-
cheney Of vegetable matter in the soil,
late seeding, and unsuitable varieties.
The climate and soil of Tennessee
favor the production OF wheats con-
tanning a very high percentage of pro-
tein. The average percentage OF pro-
tein in Mediterranean and Fulcaster
were 1888 and 1900, respectively, at
the end of four years. All the varie-
ties were high, Dawson's Golden Chaff
being lowest, with 1919 per cent.
The season has a marked influence
on the protein content. Beech Woods
Hybrid contained 21.92 per cent In
1900, 1877 per cent in 1901, 1914 per
cent in 1902 and Is per cent in 1903
This is only one Of many examples.
The protein content was highest In
1900 and 1902. years when the rain.
fall was somewhat deficient during
the ripening period. This gave a
short, quick ripening period. retard'

AGRICULTURE
Preparing for the Corn Crop.

Preparing for the Corn Crop.
On many OF our farms the work of
preparing for the coming corn crop
was largely done in the fall. On other
farms the corn stalks stood In the
ields till too late to pillow and that
work will have to be done in the
Spring as soon as the land is in the
proper condition for working. After
The experience of last year. our farm
ELS, at least In Illinois and nearby
states, will probably watch quite care
fully for the ground to get into just
the right condition for the work of the
plowmau to count for the most. In
he localities referred to the ground,
on account of not being in the right
condition at the time 1t had to be
plowed, was discouragingly lumpy
after blowing. In many of the fields
harrows and drags were put on and
an immense amount of extra work
done to get the land into fairly good
coalition for the putting in of the
corn crop. A too wet ground will run
together when plowed and will be left
by the pillow so lumpy that no ordinary
/ amount of work will reduce it to the
! desired fineness. When the ground is
allowed to become too dry it becomes
hard TO pillow and requires an unnec
essary expenditure of force to get II
into condition. There is generally q
time in the spring when the ground
is soft enough to pillow easily, yet dry
enough to be friable, and is ther
easily reduced to the desired anenes'
by the work of the harrow.
When the soil is in right condition
for blowing there is little danger o
working 1t too much, as every in
crease in the feeding area Of the corr
roots means so much more available
plant food for the use of tha
crop. Some good farmers follow tn
practice of blowing and cross plowing
narrowing and cross narrowing I'll
soil is so fine that all parts of it wi
contribute their part toward the noui
lshment of the plants that are to gro'
upon 1t. AS to the fining of the lane
1t should not be forgotten that tn
more perfectly this is done, the easie
will be the work OF cultivating tn
soil later on and the more effectiy
will be that cultivation.

KNOWING the Business.

To be successful breeder of
swine, man must know the business
thoroughly. He must be so we'll ac-
quainted with every detail that mis-
takes Will be few ana always small.
The man that knows all the ins-and-
outs of his business can alone keep 1t
straight. 1t is impossible to make
rules and have rules do the work.
Rules are good but 1t takes effort to
execute them. The big dealer must
know all about his business even II he
cannot carry out the details. Unless
he does know about all the parts OF
his work he cannot know when the
details are properly carried out. There
are good many men that make sue
cess Of swine raising. and there are a
good many men that make a failure
Of 1t, 1t Is evident that the men that
make the successes are the ones who
know most about what they are doing.
1t is doubtful If many of the successes
comes to the men that know about
their business only in a general way.

The Critical Time.

With many It is a live question how
to care for the pig during the first ten
days of it's life. The problem involves
the feeding of the SOW as we'll as of
the pigs. The SOW the first day should
have only tepid water and the second
day but little food. This feed may
consist of bran and middlings, with
bran predominating. But little milk
should be used in the food of the SOW
till the pigs get to be several days
old. Ground oats will prove a great
addition to the food and may be in
creased as the pigs grow. The best
plan is not to get the SOW on full feed
TIL the pigs are two or three days
old. If properly fed before and after
narrowing the sow will not eat her
pigs. Probably one of the greatest
mistakes in the feeding of the SOW at
narrowing time is TO give her all the
cold water she will drink, especially
in the winter time, when the well wa
ter is not far from the freezing point.
The SOW is naturally feverish at that
time and drinks more than she other
wise would.

Whltewash.

Whitewash is a valuable adjunct in
keeping the COW stable clean. Our
milkmen have learned this long ago,
at least those that have TO sell milk
TO exacting buyers. Visiting the farms
in the vicinity Of Elgin, Illinois, one
is struck with the frequency OF the
whitewashed stables. One of the great
advantages of this wash is that ii
shows dirt readily, and when 1t has
been applied a stable cannot get very
dirty without the attention of the
owner being called painfully to that
fact. AS a germicide whitewash ranks
high, and dairymen should use it more
than they do.

II was coming. Dolores waited with
bated breath. heavy sense OF guilt
fell upon her; she could not meet the
gaze of the eyes bent upon her, and
she went on hulling the berries
waiting in silence for what she knew
must come.
'"An' them as knows says thyar's

In sudden frenzy.

II was out at last. Dolores seemed
turned to stone; she neither moved
nor spoke; she dared not lift her eyes
from the red berries with which her
fingers were dyed. Her head was whirl'
ing: there was din in her ears as
though a legion OF spirits repeated
and shouted in wild horror:
"Theys wants yer feyther ter go ter

Her eyes were like those of hunt

Dolores watched the woman's tall,
gaunt figure go down the worn path,
her purple print dress brushing the
scant grass with an indignant sweep,
the cape of her sunbonnet limp and
Tapping over her shoulders. When
she disappeared from view behind
the shrubuery Of the roadside Dolores
put away the dish of berries and put
on her gray sunbonnet to go out.
It was early afternoon. The rocky
road like yellow thread, wound in
and out among the scrubby bushes
and tall pines that murmured in the

properlTreatment OF Pneumonia

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself
although he may have the proper reme-
dies at hand. A physician should al
ways be called. 1t should be borne in
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an at
tack of the grip, and by the proper treat
ment of these diseases threatened
attack of pneumonia may be warded off.
There is no question whatever about
this, as during the thirty years and more
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used, we have yet to learn of a
single case of a cold or attack of the grip
having resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was used. It is also used by
physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the best results. DR.. w. ].

Thought Fred Garrett Was Her
Husband.

Fred Garrett, who for long time
clerked in Hamilton & Gardeners groc-
cry in Leon, had an exciting time of it
last week out at Colorado Springs, Col
orado, to which place he moved last fall.
The following dispatch printed in a
Chicago Sunday paper, tells the story
and Fred's friends in this city can
imagine how he was worked up:
Colorado Springs, Colo, Feb. 27.-Fred
Garrett, good looking young man and
we'll known about town, had an uncom-
Portable half hour at police headquar-
tiers while the officers subjected him to
the scrutiny Of a young woman who. is
shy a husband.
Mrs. Arthur Nichols was the woman
who was hunting husband. She says
her husband left her some time ago and
she was sure he was in the city. She
saw Garrett and took him for "Dear
Arthur" but Garrett paid no attention
to her. She told the police about him
and gave them a picture Of her missing
husband. The police hunted up Gar
rett and found that he bore striking
resemblance to the picture. They ac-
cordingly took him to headquarters and
sent for Mrs. Nichols to come up and
identify the man.
She first said it was not necessary to
identify him; she guessed she ought to
know her husband when she saw him.
The police thought so too, but as Gar
rett would not 60 to the woman they
had to bring the woman to him.
When she arrived at police head
quarters, accompanied by her mother,
there was an interesting scene. Gar
rett, who declared he never had wife,
stood up and flushed to the roots of his
hair as he realized the situation. The
young woman hesitated several minutes
and finally said she did not think he was
the right man. Her mother, however,
thought it was Arthur, and there poor
Garrett was, betwixt two minds that
might change either way.
he Was cAClGSu duu WduGGu Ullem u
say one thing or the other, and the
young wife finally stated that she was
sure he was not Arthur because "Arthul
suffered" The mother was finally per.
suaded that her daughter was right
, and then Garrett and the woman had q
, few words concerning the uncomfort-
able position into which Garrett had
, been forced.
, Garrett wondered what his position
would have been if he had hesitated ii
his speech through excitement wher
the women first entered the room. He
! was greatly relieved at the outcome and
|, quickly took his departure.
: Chief Reynolds told Mrs. Nichols she
t had better study her husbands picture
and learn his features sufficiently tc
t know him by sight, so that the depart,
ment would not have to keep on arrest
ing unoffending youths and try to make
them believe they were married.
