Farm Telephones.

In some parts of the country tele
seems that once a telephone Is estab
lished in the family it is there to stay
Other sections of the country are very
much behind the times in this respect
probably because no one has gone
ahead with the preliminary arrange
ments.
A farm telephone is not only great
luxury, but 1t is fast becoming an alb
solute necessity. With the addition OF
more business to the farm every year
and the scarcity of labor anything that
saves steps is worth money. When
you get accustomed to doing business
over the telephone you realize its
great value.
A short time ago l heard a farmer
order 100 bushels of seed oats by
phone from another farmer about ten
miles away He had seen sample
at the fair last rail- and made the ne
gotiations accordingly. The business
was transacted in about five minutes
while the farmer was sitting at his
desk after reading his morning mail
left at the box by the rural delivery
man. 1t would have taken him all
day to get his mail and drive to the
other farmer and buy his seed oats.
But there is a social side to farm
life that is fostered by the telephone.
1t often happens that a woman is left
alone for the day and she can easily
make arrangements to have a neigh
Dor call and spend the time pleasant
ly, instead of feeling lonely. Then it
is so easy to make social arrangements
for evenings or to meet friends as oc-
casion requires.
There are always people in a neigh
borhood who are public-spirited
enough to go ahead with the necessary
arrangements to establish telephone
service. Others should encourage them
promptly by subscribing to the fund
required. Everybody is benefited, be-
cause the arrangement is mutual in
the neighborhood. - Agricultural
Epitomist.

Take an ordinary baking pan and
have the tinsmith rivet on an ear"
on one side for mailing to a tree.
Have him also make a hole in the
bottom in one corner, that. the water
can be let out every day and the pan
be kept clean. Nail the pan to tree
about twelve inches from the ground,
so the chicks can drink without get
ting into it with their feet. The birds
will soon discover that it is a fine
place from which to get drink on
hot days. Sometimes they find, too,
that it is a convenient place for a
bath, and this of course makes the
water dirty. But it is not much trou-
BILE to refill the pan with clean water,
and this should be done two or three
times a day. Chickens and birds re-
quire a great deal of water, and they
often suffer for lack of it. Don't neg
lect them.-Boston Herald.

ing that they not be opened by con-

"An packages of freight or merchan-

that all such ordinary necessary hand

contents. All packages should De

ed with a marking brush or strong
tag or a label printed or written with
plain black ink, and pasted on the
package.
IF there are any old marks on q
package, they should be thoroughly
obliterated. No package should De
sent to the Express ONCE with two
marks thereon, even though both
marks should read alike. One mark
is enough.
IF there are two places of the same
name in the same state, always put
the name Of the county on the pack
age. When you send a package to a
city always give the full address OF

Hayes.

Taking advantage OF the laxity OF
the national laws which permit the
shipment of liquors into dry territory,
the thirsty citizens Of Maury are or
dering booze enough for the Christ
mas holidays to float the old ship OF
state of the sand bars Of the prohibt
ton drouth, even If she were vessel
of the largest known type.
So rapidly and in such abundance
is the encased spirits coming to Co
Iumbia that a booze depot has been
opened at the old King building on
the public square by the Elk
press company, where all those who
are expecting consignments OF the
yuIetide beverage can drop around and
see if it has come. twenty-five deliv-
cries were made from this depot this
morning, and there is now about one
hundred packages stored there for de-
livery.
Judging from the bullying proper
lions of the packages no shipment OF
less than a gallon is considered appro'
pirate for the season. Some OF the
packages are heavy enough looking TO
give a hod carrier the back ache. All
az them look large and thrifty.
But there is lining to the cloud
that the prohibitionists will be quick

stead of disorders and confusion, the

No drunkards are found sWiliing az

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Althoush
Tennessee did not produce as much
grain during the past season as it did
in 1908 the value of its farm products,
exclusive of live stock, poultry, etc.,
will exceed that of last year by ap-
proximately $1,000, 900. This is due
to the increase in the prices of farm
products. Had the production been
as great during the past year as In
1908 the crops of the State would
have been worth more than 100000
900 in excess of what they were a
year ago.
The heaviest falling OF was in the
corn production, which is estimated
by the Department of Agriculture at
rs 600, 900 bushels for the past year as
compared with 100000 for the pre-
vious year. Owing to the Increase In
the value of this staple, however, the
crop Is worth some $5,000,000 more
than it was in 1908. The wheat crop
was approximately the same for both
years, in round numbers about $780,
600 bushels. 1t was worth this year
sixteen cents per bushel more than
last, making its value to the farmers
81 300, 900 greater.
In spite of the fact that 275,OOC
fewer bushels of oats were produced
this year than we're grown in the
state in 1908 the crop for 1909 was
worth to the farmers $4,000 more
than the larger yield. due to the big
increase in the price of the grain
There we're 100000 bushels less OF
Irish potatoes raised in 1909 than
were grown in the State in 1908, but
here again the high prices came to the
rescue of the farmers and they re
ceived for this years crop some $500,
900 more than they did for that OF last
year.
Some 5000 more tons of hay were
grown in the State in 1909 than In
1909. Very few people have an ade
ouate idea OF the immense value OF
the hay crop to the farmers OF Ten
nessee. It is the most valuable and
the most profitable crop that is grown
| in the state. This year 100000 tons
were produced worth on the average
$3.50 per ton. In other words the
value Of the hay crop of the State was
nearly $S,O00,000 or almost equal &c
| the wheat crop. In value it is exceed
ed only by the corn and wheat crops
The hay was worth to the farmers an
even dollar more per ton this year
than last, giving them $6,O00,Ooo more
from this source than they received In
1908.
The following is statement OF the
average yield per acre, the estimated
| production, and the farm value OF
