shows total of 80 prizes with its Jer-
sey show cattle. OF these, thirty-nine
were first prizes; twenty we're second;
nine were third, and two were fourth;
eleven were championship prizes, and
one was a grand championship prize.
With his Berkshires, Mr.. Gentry has
had an even greater measure of sue

Berkshires at 1913 State fairs in 1906,
and during the year took 155 prizes.
OF these, 69 were first prizes; AZ, Sec

The Chattanooga Times, with it's
customary inaccuracy, speaks of the
new charter bill here as the Memphis
ripper bill. As matter of fact the
charter bill of 1905 was a ripper bill, as
it was passed in dishonorable violation
of the democratic platform and solemn
pledges made to the people. The char
ter bill of 1907 was passed in accord
with the democratic platform, which
was Endorsed by the people in the reg

Hamilton County Representatives Give
Ont Statement.
To the Chattanooga Times.
In view of the repeated assertions in
the Chattanooga papers, that there was
deal between Governor Patterson
and ourselves, whereby we were to
vote for the Memphis charter bill, and
in consideration of such vote he was to
allow us to name the:election commits
sioners in Hamilton county, we ask
you to kindly publish this card.
Any and all of such allegations are
absolutely and unquali6edly false.
There was no such understanding; and
no mention of such thing between
the governor or any one representing
him, and the Hamilton county delega-
ton, or any one of us.
These assertions were started by the
enemies of the governor and ourselves,
and were intended to injure him as
we'll as us.
We do not know who will be ap-
pointed election commissioners. We
have recommended high class men for
the position, and they represent no po-
litical faction; and no honest man can
question their fitness, nor that they
will do the square thing by everybody.

of Mr. Gentry it has made man in
whose life system is an integral part.
It is carried to such an extent that
every farm hands earnings and every
milk cows production can be told at
a glance for every day in the year. Not
only are the days of the farm hands
accounted for, but Mr.. Gentry knows
at the end of each week what part Of
each mans time has been given to the
dairy; what part to the Jerseys; what
part to the Berkshires; what part to
the horses, and what part to each of
several other departments that are
conducted with the accuracy Of a
banking business. In the further work
ing of the system, Mr.. Gentry knows
the amount of milk given by each COW,
by name, morning and afternoon, every
day in the month; the test Of the milk;
the average test for the month; the
amount of butter produced and the
amount of feed consumed; the value
of the butter and the value of the feed;
| the amount of labor and the net profit
of each COW. Carrying the system still
further, MIR. Gentry knows the amount
of separated and unseparated milk fed
to calves and pigs; the milk, cream
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1907-05-09

and separated yield for each day; the
way in which the cream and butter is
distributed each day and the amount
that goes TO, each purchaser. For keep
ing these accounts Mr.. Gentry has for
mulated a series of blank forms, and
has a special book prepared for each
of the departments. H. A. Morgan,
manager of the farm of J. w. Heron,
the Pennsylvania millionaire, has pro-
nounced it the best he ever saw. w. J.
Spillman, chief Of the Farm Division,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, recently had two representatives
to make a personal visit to Overton
Hall farm for the purpose of securing
descriptions. and diagrams of the
forms, which will be reproduced and
distributed to everyone in the country
who is interested in model manage
ment of stock farms,
This perfect system is operated with
an equipment that is almost perfect.
The dairy, the calf barn, the hog barn,
and the creamery are all conducted
with the utmost care for sanitary con
ditions.
3The State fairs at which Overton
Farm Berkshires won prizes in 1906
were Ohio State Fair; New York State
Fair; Kentucky State Fair; Illinois
State Fair; Tennessee State Fair, and
the Alabama State Fair. The Jerseys
also won at each of these fairs.

Among the Spanish maxims one of

The tears of woman are worth much,

The fox is cunning, but the woman

The proverbs of the Arabs place a

some samples:
The beauty of man is his spirit; the
spirit of woman is her beauty.
Always consult your wife, but do as

When You want to get square with a
