Here is good stock and grain farm in
Loudon county, Tenn. 500 acres for
only $25 per acre. For sale or eX-
change. No. 637. $50 acres. Price
$18,475. This farm is within 30 miles
of Knoxville, Tennessee, a city of To-
600 population, in I miles of county
seat, and B miles of railroad station.
Telephone, r. +. d., and in a good
neighborhood; 450 acres in cultivation,
balance in good timber. Two story
old style frame dwelling, comfortable,
but not costly. Several tenant houses,
old and new barn. All of it fine red
limestone land. 1t is within two miles
of the Tennessee river. Fine fishing
and hunting. There has not been a
quail shot upon this farm in 3 or 8
years, and there are at least fifty coveys
on the farm. This farm has four or
five living springs, with creek only
touching it on the west side, giving
water in every field Big bold spring
in one hundred yards of the house,
which is very fine. This farm ought
to be worth SIS per acre, and with a
good farmer OH it, it will be in a few
years. The owner is good farmer,
but is not strong, and only himself and
wife, so he does not pillow much; goes
more to grass and stock, but is hardly
able to do that any more. The mead
ows and pasture fields reall y need re-
seeding. Will take half cash, balance
to suit you, or will take as much as
$1,000 in other property, if it is worth
the money, but would prefer to take
less property, and would much rather
not take any. Write for catalogue.

RECORD FINE i'm LOADING ORE
i EnATc

a new MScord has been made this
year in loading,s big steamers on the
upper lakes with ore. The steamer
Corey, belonging to the United States
Steel Corporation, was loaded with
10,11l gross tons of iron ore from the
Vermillionarange in thirty-nine min
utes. ThiS was done at one Of the
docks at 9wo Harbors, a port on
Lake supsrior. just east of Duluth.
The ore brought from the mines
in steel caks and automatically dump
ed into gfeat compartments in a
concrete dick. When vessel is
brought ub to the side of the dock
the chuteA from the compartments fit
the matches in it's deck. and there
are usually from twenty to thirty
of them. The entire hold of the
steamer issgiven up to ore. When the
signal is given the traps that re-
tain the ore in the compartments are
lifted, and stream of ore four feet
square isScarried through the chutes
by its own weight until the hold of
the wessel is filled or the compart..
ments are emptied. This process is
so simp3 that one or two men can
load a$sei with 10000 tons of ore
simply hi pressing . button or turn
ing a crahk. The cost of handling is
-
thus redtced to minimum"
IN the case of the Corey the sig-
nal mas4ssyen at a;17 p. M. to open
the traps, and to close them at
1856 p. M. when the hold OF the
steamer was filled.
"The same process is used in load
ing coal at Cleveland. Ashtabula, Con
neaut and other lake ports, where,
the ore is unloaded and shipped by
car to Pittsburg. and the ships are
filled with coal as return cargo to
Duluth and other ports on Lake su-
perior."

THE DAIRY BUSINESS.

1t is no longer denied that dairy
ing isone Of the greatest and mos
profitable branches agriculture. Dur
ing the year of 1908 the creamery
butter sold in the state of Iowa
amounted to S25,000.O0O. Adding to
this the value of the butter manufac-
turedl on the. farm, milk and cream
consumed on the farm and sold in
the towns and cities and to cheese
factories and condensories and the
value Of the SKINNED milk and but
termilk used for feeding purposes we
can safely estimate that the value
Of the dairy products of the state of
Iowa for the year of 1908 will not
be .<ss than $5O.0Oo,OOO. We can per
haps more readily comprehend the
value Of the dairyipg industry when
we realize that the value of the
Iowa wheat crop for the year of 1905
amounted to $5,7l6.239. The value
Of the oat crop was $4s,517.110 and
the corn crop $15S,S55, ,3O6.
Success OF failure in the dairy bus
mess is mainly due to interest o.
neglect on the, part of the dairy
man. There ia no work that re-
quires more up.to-date methods than
dairylng SO to make the work of
greatest success. In order to as
sist the Iowa farmers who desire
more information on dairy subjects
The Iowa State Agricultural College
has this year outlined special
course for dairy farmers. This course
will begin January 3rd and continue
for two weeks. The following sub
Ijects will be taught:

week.
