INDEFINITE HOLD-UP OF
ROAD WORK IN SULLIVAN

Bristol, June l5-Road building in
Sullivan county is indefinitely held up
on account of the suit Thought by Col.
s. l.. King, attacking the validity of
the last bond issue of 100000, issued
and sold last month to supplement
about 100000 already spent for new
roads. The suit is now pending in the
chancery court at Blountville, and the
bond buyers refuse to take the bonds
until the question of their validity has
been passed upon by the supreme court
of Tennessee.
The bonds were Used under an act of
the Tennessee legislature authorizing
the county to issue $500, 900 bonds. The
county only issued 5000, 600 and claimed
the right TO issue 100000 more under
this act. The contention is that the
county forfeited its right to issue the
remainder of the bonds by not issuing
the entire $500, 600 at one time. Subse.
quent to the passage Of the special act
a general law was passed providing for
popular elections on the subject OF road
bonds, and it is claimed that this will
prevent the county from issuing fur
ther bonds without reference to the
people. .......
There are gaps yet to be built in sew
eral of the through roads of the county.

wise plan to raise money to complete

Hogs are the most economical pro-
ducers of meat of any animals on the
farm when they are properly fed, but
when they are not, they produce meat
at a greater cost than any other class
OF farm animals. 1t is not economical
to keep the hogs shut up in a small
pen and feed them nothing but grain.
In nature they have the run of the for
est and consume such feeds as roots,
herbs, grasses and grains in their sea-
son. We often handle hogs as though
We thought they could not consume
any kind of feed other than grain.
Hogs on many farms are kept In small
enclosures or In small pens where
they can not receive any kind of green
feed and hence the gains that are
made must be made with the more eX:
pensive grain feeds. 1t requires from
Az to 6 lbs. of grain to produce gains
with feeds under these conditions,
which leaves but little profit when
grains are high priced; while under
may be produced with 212 to lbs. of
grain. There should always be pro-
vided pasture crops for the hogs the
same as for any other kind of live
stock The farm should always be
fenced so that the hogs can be turn
ed into any of the fields after the
crops are removed and obtain such
feed as may be left from the harvest.
An abundance of succulent green
feed should be provided throughout
as soy-beans, cow-peas, sorghum and
sweet corn may be sown for the hogs
and will be ready for them from the
middle of July and through August
the most difficult seasons Of the year
to provide pasture. OF these pastures
soy-beans- are the most satisfactory
for the hogs like that pasture better
than cow-peas or sorghum. Hogs will
eat the leaves of soy-beans much more
readily than they will the leaves of
cow-peas Sow the soy-beans in rows
and keep cultivated until well grown.
Turn the hogs in when the soy-beans
are just forming the pods. At this
stage the hogs will begin by foraging
on the leaves, and the pods will con-
tinue to form and ripen, even though
some of the leaves are being fed off,
and the hogs will obtain a greater
of nutriment per acre than
they would if held from the soy-beans
until they are ripe. A greater gain
may be made per acre than by leaving |

|LEAF-CHRONICLE
is NOW IN LINE
FAVORS ADDITIONAL LAWS
For Half a Century Has Stood For
the Best Interests of the
People of the State.

Clarksville, Tenn, June 15.-
The Daily Chronicle of this city
which has fought the battles with
the Independents for the past four
years, comes out for Thomas c. Rye
and says editorially:
For more than century the Leaf
Chronicle has always endeavored to
stand for the best interests of the
people in the community in which 1t
has circulated. Believing it was fot
the best interests of Tennessee, NOR
ally, as wei as politically. that the
open saloons should be Danished
from the state and the liquor traffic
forever prohibited, this paper has
fought with the independent demo-
Gratis during the last two campaigns.
1t believes tha tthe Independent dem
ocrats of the state have won their
fight, and are to be congratulated up
on the adoption inthe democratic
platform of the principles for which
the Independents of the state and this
paper have contended Turing the last
Few years.
1--WE are gratified that the democ-
rats in the state convention have
come out unequivocally for the main
ainance of the present temperance
Jaws that are now on the statute
BOOKS, for the passing of such addi-
donal laws as may be necessary tor
their rigid enforcement, and IN favor
or retaining the present election laws
We are proud that this paper has, in
a measure and so far as Ii was able,
contributed to this happy result.
ut is now contended by some men
and some newspapers in Tennessee
that the democratic party cannot be
trusted. We cannot agree with this
contention. The democratic party in
Tennessee is the majority party. 1t
is composed of tn best citizenship of
the state. 1t would have retained its
power in Tennessee but for the divis-
ion in the ranks. Happily there is
no longer any reason for division
among the democrats, becausee we be
lieve that the party has meant what
it has said in it's platform lately
adopted. We believe that the demo-
cratic party, both in the state and in
the nation, represents thatwhich is
best for the great body of the people,
and being composed and made up of
the great majority the people in Ten
nessee, it is idle to say that it cannot
be trusted.
Eve have taken keen interest in
The recent campaign for the nominal
lion of governor. This paper Las re-
trained from taking position here

the soy-beans until they are ripe and
then turning in the hogs. Do not turn
in too many per acre for the greatest
good can be obtained from the crop if
1t not pastured so heavily, but that it
will last for at least six weeks. Ordi-
narily from to II shoats may be turn
ed on per acre. Better results will be
obtained If the forage crop is supple
mented with some grain, such as corn.
Feed the grain, such as corn, at the
rate of 219 to 3 per cent of the live
weight of the hogs. For example, II
the number of head be II and the total
weight should be about 1900 pounds,
the total feed for the day would be 80
to SO lbs. of grain in addition to the
forage consumed. Ordinarily hogs
will not make gains on forage unless
the forage crop is supplemented with
grain; but with the addition of little
grain very cheap gains may be made.
Sorghum may be sown as either soy
beans or cow-peas. 1t contains too
much coarse material to be we'll util-
lied as a forage crop for hogs. Al
though it is coarse forage it is better
than nothing, and, in fact, if pastured
at the right stage may be very use
full crop. When intended for hog for
age it should be sown with the grain
drill with every hose running and at
into it when it is about 6 inches high
and at the rate of 10 to Is shoats per
acre, according to crop. This crop
should be supplemented with some pro-
tein feed, such as cottonseed meal
with copperas. If copperas Is fed with
the cottonseed meal at the rate of one
pound of copperas for every so pounds
of the meal no harmful results will
follow it's use. Make a solution of the
copperas by putting 2 pounds of the
copperas in so gallons of water, and
then feed of this solution quarts for
every pound of the cottonseed meal
that Is fed. For hogs that are forag-
ing on sorghum, feed from " to n lb.
of cottonseed meal for every 100 lbs.
of live weight. In ADDITION to the cot
tonseed meal they should also be fed
from 8 to 4 ears of corn per head per
day. |
By following the above plan hogs
may have plenty of pasture throughout
the summer months when it is usually |
most difficult to obtain suitable forage |
crops for this class of animals. Gains
will be made very cheaply and the |
profits will be large.-C. A. Wilson,

BY THE FOOD AND

THE SANITARY FOOD LAW
Some Interesting Facts by Lucius
P. Brown, State Food and
Drug Commissioner

This provides for keeping every place
handling food products, from the larg
est packing house or bakery down tt
the very smallest soft drink stand, in
as clean and sanitary condition as q
gnood housewife keeps her kitchen
From time to time we shall call atten'
tioa to some OF its salient features.
Since now is the time to fight flies, we
want To call your attention to section
of this act, which provides that every
food-handling or food producing estab-
iishment shall have all doors, windows
and other openings screened with wire
netting of not less than Ia mesh gauge
an order to keep out flies. Because of
the large amount of publicity given TO
the ny-fghIing campaign, and the
great amount of material written on
flies the last few years, it may be un
necessary 10 again call attention TO and
enlarge upon the dangers due to these
insects. But it is desirable 10 call at
tenlion to the fact that the fly is one of
the most important carriers of typhoid
fever. This dread disease is now essen.
TALLY country disease. The per cent
OF il is very much larger in The country
than in the city, owing to the fact that
sanitary precautions are taken in the
CITY, which are either overlooked or the
necessity for which is not known in the
country. Attention has often been
called To the tact that during the Span.
ish war some ten times as any soldiers
died from typhoid fever as from Span
ish bullet. In every concentration
camp TO which the soldiers went there
was typhoid fever. Altogether there
27,000 cases, undoubtedly due in almost
every instance to infection of the food
of the men by fles which had been ex-
,losed TO the fecal matter in the pits
used by the soldiers. This typhoid fe
yer disappeared gradually as cold
weather came on in the fall, and the
officers whose mess tents were protect
ed by screens suffered less than the SOL
diers did. During the Boer war In
South Africa the same thing was OBJ
served. The flies seemed to have
special tendency to go to the typhoid
cases and swarm around them, and
they were particularly abundant in
South Africa, even more abundant
than they were in the camps in the
south during the Spanish war. The
transmission of typhoid fever by flies
is now so we'll known and well estab-
lished that except for emphasizing the
danger it is not worth while for a
health officer to call attention 10 the
fact. The point of this article is, that
housewives should not trade with
sturekeeper or other food handlers who
do not properly protect their establish
ments by fly screens, and whose foods,
even when exposed inside of screen
doors are not properly protected from
flies, dust and dirt which may car y
