SEEKING LOOP HOLES
IN STATEWIDE LAW.
Locker Clubs Formed for Thirsty
Citizens.

Nashville, Tenn. June 3O.-The
statute extending the provisions of
the fOur-mile law to the entire
State becomes effective at II
O'Clock tonight. Under this law it
will be unlawful to sell or tipple
liquors, wines, ales or beer as a
beverage in Tennessee.
The manufacturers bill to pro-
hlbit the manufacture of liquors
does not become operative until
January /.
The retailers of Nashville will
not attempt to evade the law, and
sales of intoxicants will not be
made by them. Counsel have been
retained in Nashville, and in other
cities, to test the prohibition meas
ures as far as the manufacturers
and wholesale dealers are concern
ed. That is, a test is to be made
so far as to persons outside the
State of Tennessee are concerned.
The wholesale dealers have been
advised that they have the right to
set outside the State of Tennessee
and to sell one to another. They
are to establish branch houses in
Kentucky from which liquors can
be purchased by people in Tennes-
see. They will not resort to any
subterfuge to sell liquors in the
State, and Tennessee consumers
who purchase from their branch
houses will be supplied.
Gen. Jeff McCarn, Attorney
General of Davidson county, takes
the position that liquors cannot be
sold In Tennessee, either at whole
sale or retail. He will vigorously
prosecute all violators.

SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF FARM
Was Commenced Fifty Years Ago
Four Elementary Laws Are Foun-
dation of Modern Practice.

The systematic semitic study of az
riculture was commenced about so
years ago and it is to the celebrated
German agricultural scientist, Justus
Won Liebig, we owe the following four
elementary laws which are the founda-
ton of the best modern practice.
1. A soil can be termed fertile only
when it contains all the materials nee
essary for the nutrition of plants in
the required quantity, in the proper
form.
2. With every crop a portion Of
these ingredients is removed. A part
of this is again added from the mex
haustible store of the atmosphere, an
other part, however, is lost forever if
not replaced by man.
g. The fertility of the soil remains
unchanged if all the ingredients Of
the crop are given back to the soil.
Such a restitution is effected by ma
nure or fertilizers.
4. The manure produced in the
course of farming is not sufficient to
maintain permanently the fertility of
a farm; it lacks constituents which
are annually sold in the shape OF
grain, hay, milk and livestock.

TYPHooN SPEED TOO FAST
Wind of 1875 Miles an Hour Causes
Government to Hunt for New
Anemometer.

No thermometer could stand a pres
sure much greater than imposed on
the instruments of the Philippine
weather bureau in the typhoon which
swept over the islands recently, when
according to the cable advices, the
wind reached a velocity of 1876 miles
an hour.
The record storm in the United
States was that which brought death
and destruction to Galveston, Septem-
Der 8, 1900, and then after the
thermometer had marked 1876 miles an
hour, the instrument was blown to
pieces.
So Prof. Willis Moore, chief of the
weather bureau in Washington, has
turned his attention to the construc-
ton of a machine on a new principle
designed to Withstand any storm.
Prof. Marvin, who is in direct
charge of the instrumental division of
the weather bureau, is soon to be
charged with the conduct of an inter
esting set of experiments at Mount
Weather, on top of the Blue Ridge,
to ascertain the real error of the pres
ent form of thermometer; it's points of
weakness and the best form of instru-
ment to replace it. The weather
bureau already has the nucleus of a
good physical laboratory at this sta
ton and it is hoped that it will be DOS
sible to evolve an thermometer that
will Withstand any gale, be accurate
and yet self-recording.

To Drop Unlucky Stamp.

The days of the 13-cent postage
stamp are numbered. Instead of this
denomination, by some supposed to be
unlucky, the post-office department
will issue a 12-cent stamp. Acting
Postmaster General Stewart requested
the secretary of the treasury to have
the new stamp printed at the bureau
OF engraving and printing. The 49,
cent stamp was devised to cover the
cost Of the eight-cent registry fee and
the five-cent international postage rate.
The lucent stamp will serve this
purpose when the registry fee is in
creased from eight to ten cents on
November l. The proposed 12-cent
stamp will then cover the cost of the
new ten-cent registry fee and the two
cent postage rate in the United States
and for England and Germany.

the forestry and waters be not con-
served. Conserving them in great
glee are about fifteen able writer's I'M
der the direction of Thomas r. Ship,
secretary of the conservation commits

service editor and Findlay Burns is
the chief of the bureau of publications.
Roy Pullman is the scout in the field,
and everything from cub reporter
to the old fellow who remembers
when horses were put to the town fire
truck are on the job.
The forestry service publicity Is
timely and up to the minute. If there
is a forest fire Editor Shipp sees to
it that a forest fire reporter is equip
ped with a camera and notepaper and
sufficient mileage to tell the nation
what a crime it is to allow forests to
be burned up. Statistics on our nat"
ural resources are found by the vol
ume in Ships head and the outside
coat pockets of his willing band Of
press agents.
The agricultural department is more
given to newspaper writing than any
of the branches of the government.
The bureau of plant industry takes
particular delight in making the lot
of the Washington writer and country
editor an unceasing frolic. Binomic
Investigations of tropical and subtropi-
cal plants, taxonomic investigations,
alkali and drought resistant plant in

infinite variety of equally interesting

Steer Dairying.

The first man in the community to
get out of humor with the dairy bust
ness is the fellow who pinned his
faith to the beef COW. At the end Of
a few years he figured up his milk
checks and found that he had to
throw in his fine steer calf and few
dollars besides to make his cost and
income accounts balance. It does take
the starch out of a farmer to find that
he has MIXED a lot of improbable
cows for half dozen years or so, and
that the game has been losing him
money. This steer dairying viii not

Trade in Pedigreed Stock.

If you expect to sell hogs at fancy
prices you must produce fancy hogs.
Too many breeders are content with a
fancy pedigree, expecting the blood
lines of the animal to carry it into
popularity.
While it Is very essential that an
animal have a desirable pedigree, 1t Is
all the more essential that the animal
itself possess individual merit.
A well-known breeder of Poland Chi
mas writes that he has had the best
trade the past six months that he ever
enjoyed and the prices he received
have been very satisfactory. His hogs
are extra fine and always find ready
sale.

wiIey a Drinker-Prohibitiontst.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist
Of the department Of agriculture,
while frankly acknowledging that he
likes drink of good whisky, is pro-
hibitionist and would like to see the
liquor traffic eliminated. II am a pro-
hlbitionist," said Wiley, because of
the fact that liquor always has been a
great curse. If it never hurt other
men more than it has me there would
be no need of prohibition. Unfortu-
nately, however, it leaves ruin in it's
wake. So I can be counted with the
prohibitionists. I never drink much
of any kind of liquor and have never
been even slightly affected by it. But
know many men who are affected
most disastrously."

Dry Land for Sheep.

It is generally well known that
sheep require a reasonably dry eli
mate and land that is well drained,
but it often happens that farmers un-
dertake to raise sheep on bottom land
that is too wet to pillow for crops. II
sheep are kept on such land for any
length of time, trouble is sure to fol.
low. Sheep cannot stand wet feet,
and they must have dry ground to
sleep on at night. Sheep lie down a
great deal when Illuminating. Unless
the ground is dry and warm they are
sure to suffer. Besides foot rot in
ternal parasites that affect sheep are
worse on wet land. The hoof of the
sheep is golden only when the hoof
is dry.

FARM NOTES.

Lice on ducks are scarce as hens
teeth.
The weaving colt should have plenty
of oats.
Have plenty of buttermilk on the
farm, for the family and for the pigs.
Good, nourishing feed is a neces-
sfty for the farm animals, and dry
beds are essential to their well be-
ing.
Ducks and geese usually bring a bet
ter price when kept over till Christ
mas and New Years.
If one of your ducks gets lame sep
arate it from the others for a few
days, when it will usually be all right.
Never catch a duck by the legs.
They are easily broken or manned. A
lame duck is pitiful sight to behold.
The dehorned animal is safe to ham
die and of a more peaceable DISPOSE
ton. The defenseless beast has no
particular inclination to fight when
poWerless to do much harm.

bees cannot force open the doors and
escape, which l have seen them do
when laid down temporarily.
The convenience and advantage Of
these cages will readily be seen in the
following operations:
Go to your nucleus colony and pick
up the comb with the queen; grasp it
with the left hand, also hold your queen
cage with the left hand, your thumb
over the opened side door. Now, with
the right hand pick off your queen and
she will easily pass through the half
inch door. A three-eighths or quarter
inch is not nearly so convenient. You
can cage as many bees as you wish
with seldom sting. The covers are
so cut that they will not catch the
clothing and pull open on the way to
the out apiary.

colt when training first begins. they
can be trained to walk over four miles
