HARDENED CABBAGE
PLAINS SET EARLY
(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten
sion. University Of Tennessee.l


sion. University of Tennessee.)
Well hardened cabbage plants can
be set in the open ground in February,
The plants should be purchased from
the South Atlantic Coast region,
where they are grown in the open air;
or they should have been started in
frames in November, transplanted in
frames in December, and by free air
Ing made as hardy as possible. Prop
erly grown early cabbage will stand
several degrees of frost when set in
the garden. Many gardeners set their
earliest cabbage on the north side OF
ridge so as to protect the plants
from the early morning sun during
frosty weather.
Cabbage demands the richest soil, a
constant moisture supply, and perfect
drainage. AS it is an early vegetable,
high tillage is necessary to let in air
and thus warm the soil. Plants set in
February should be well established by
the middle of March. A teaspoon of
nitrate of soda, applied in a narrow
circle around each plant when growth
begins, will greatly stimulate the
growth. For best results make two or
three applications at intervals of three
weeks. But, for the home garden very
good results are assured by the use OF
plenty OF manure with frequent hoeing
and shallow cultivation. The best early
variety is Charleston Wakefield. An
exceptionally good second early va
r1ety Is Henderson's EARLY Summer.

PREPARING THE STOCK
FOR HARD WORK TO C. ME-
(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division of Exten.
sion. University of Tennessee.)

(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
AS the season for spring work ap
proaches, the work stock, which have
been standing idle most of the winter
and receiving light rations of grain,
should be prepared for the hard work
to come. At least two weeks should
be taken to get them In good condition
for work, during which time their
grain should be increased to a normal
work ration. Quite commonly they
are put right to the pillow with no pre-
parations, and In a weeks time they
are so reduced in flesh that it is i'm.
possible to get them back in condi.
ton until the rush season is over. Not
only are they not accustomed to the
hard work, but the sudden increase in
the amount of feed, which usually fol.
lows, means so much more work for
their digestive system that they fire.
quently get off feed, and this, OF
course, means serious loss.
Most Of the sore shoulders and
other common sores on work stock,
which gives SO much trouble through.
out the season, often times are caused
during the first few days of spring
work by illftting, or rough collars and
harness. The collars should be
thoroughly cleaned and present a
smooth surface to the shoulder. II
they do not fit they should not be used
The harness should be thoroughly gone
over and all the places not in order
should be repaired.

BUYING THE BEEF BULL
A QUESTION OF TYPE
(By r. M. Murphy, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.

(By r. M. Murphy, Division of Exten.
sion. University of Tennessee)
The buying of beef bull is not
nearly SO much a question Of breed
as OF type. Whether an animal has a
good top line and good underline,
with plenty Of width and depth and a
good quarter is Of much more import.
Mce than whether he is Shorthorn,
Hereford or an Angus. 1t Is very i'm.
portant In any case that he be OF pure
breeding and comes of line of good
producers. A bull of scrub parentage
might be a first-class individual in
every respect, but we should hardly
expect him to transmit his excellent
qualities, because he did not inherit
them honestly. His offspring will al
most invariably give him away. We
can never judge an animal except by
his offspring, but our best guarantee
lies in good pedigree. A good pedi
gree is one in which the immediate
ancestors are animals of Importance.
Farther back than six generations the
influence Is practically nothing.
AS we become better acquainted
with the different breeds we find that
neither OF them has any particular ad-
Vantages over the other. A great
many people change from one breed
to another because of desire to
have something different, and more
frequently than otherwise, to have
changed was mistake, especially II
the change meant the introduction of
breed entirely new to a community
which had up to the time favored q
single breed. A man introducing and
trying to popularize a new breed is
at a serious disadvantage because he
generally has but a few animals to
work with and he finds no ready sale
for the surplus stock he may wish to
dispose of. 1t is much better business
to select the breed the community ia.
vors.
Select an animal of good proper
tons, low down, blocky, straight top
and underline, with plenty of depth
and width; good width of chest,
strength in heart girth, low down in
flank, and well developed quarters,
with just as little head and neck and
legs as possible.

SUDAN GRASS
(By ]. C. McAmis, Division OF Hxtsn-
sion, University of Tennessse.)

(By ]. C. McAmis, Division Of Nxtsn-
sion, University of Tennessse.)
Sudan grass is dwarf sorghum. In
appearance 1t resembles Johnson grass,
but the advantage Cor disadvantage as
the case may be) of the Sudan grass
lies in the fact that It is an annual
plant and does not reproduce from
the roots.
In the common system Of cropping
in Tennessee 1t can be more appro-
priately compared to millet, though
the two plants are not similar in ap-
pearance. The chief advantage that
1t has over millet, is that 1t produces
second cutting and often a third.
After cutting it may be used for pas
.ure.
Cowpeas, or an early variety Of soy
BEANS, may be sown with 1t.
The chief objections to Sudan grass
are:
l. The high price of seed.
2. The danger OF the seed being
mixed with Johnson grass.
3. That It IL not . leguma.

A PRACTICAL BROOD COOP FOR
THE MoTHER-HEN AND HER
CHICKS.

(By Leo ]. Brosemer, Division OF Ex
tension, University of Tennessee.)
Rearing chickens by natural means
can be greatly simplifed by having
convenient, safe, and easily cleaned
brood coops. A practical coop should
be so built that the chickens can be
closed in at night and still have sufi
Client ventilation. 1t should be large
enough to shelter the chickens during
cold, wet weather. In this space we
present design which is convenient

Obituary

porn July z, 1000 III henry CouLIy
near Paris, and spent the most of
her life in this place. She was
always an obedient child to her
parents and was a favorite among
her many friends, for she wore
an expression Of happiness AN
assurance of her good disposition
and souls contentment- and it
was always her definite purpose
to make everyone feel at ease in
her presence and to employ every
opportunity that confronted her
in bringing kindly word, or a
ray of sunshine to the aged as
we'll as the young, to those in
distress, as to those enjoying
the heights of happiness.
The most striking feature in
her life was unselfishness at all
times, she would willingly sac
rifice her own enjoyments, and
pleasures for an opportunity to
serve even her remotest friend.
1t was her express desire as
she herself expressed it to be a
ray of sunshine to others. "
She thoroughly realized that
happiness comes in serving
others, not in being served.
At an early age she was rob-
bed of her father by death and
as she had such lofty ambitions
her first thought was that she,
altho the youngest of the family,
could not permit her mother to
supply all their needs without
her making an effort so she Sc
cured an offer as an operator in
Cumberland Telephone and Tel
egraph Service where again she
proved her patience, kindness
and gentle nature.
In this work she was employ
ed until her health failed, then
she went on a visit to her
sisters in Paducah, KY, and
Hayti, Mo-, while she was con-
valescing. After spending some
few months in Missouri, she
thought that she was able to re-
turn and left for Paris but on
reaching Memphis was unable to
go further and here went to the
hospital.
She remained here two weeks
and was gradually growing
worse. Then her sister, Mrs.
s. j. Cross was sent telegram
to come Immediately SO she and
her husband left Monday after
noon for her and reached home
on Tuesday night. She was well
cared for in this kind home until
death claimed her Saturda,
morning about five o'clock. As
her case was so complicated, sh'
suffered severely, yet endured
it with patience and fortitude-
this she could not have done
without the blessed assurance
that christians have.
The funeral services were il

son Street with Rev. Hancock of

mourn her death she leaves

.CONvEN|ENCES FOR
THE COUNTRY HOME

I'LL uUUutU1 uVWL
The happiness and comfort of
the human race center in the
home. The home has all to do
with what life is to US, what we
get out of our stay on earth.
This is where mankind lives,
where they go to rest from their
toll, and by this, we may judge
their care of or in life. For ages
young and old, rich and poor
have crowded toward the cities
simply because the opportunities
for supplying the conveniences
of the home. The city with its
leverage, its water system, its
lghting plants and heating appa-
ratus has been the envy of the
country, time out of mind.
But thanks to the progress of
the age the country is fast catch
ing up with the city in the mat
ter of enjoyable things. We
would not have the reader think
for minute that the thing
that makes life a joy and a
pleasure are anything like so
universally in the country as in
the city, but the idea we wish to
convey is that the conveniences
of the country home are no long,
err an unsolved problem as they
were Is or 20 years ago. The
progress of mankind is rapidly
placing the delightful things we
are pleased the modern conven-
fences in reach of the man on
the farm.
Among these everlasting hills
the country home may be sup
piled in many cases at a less cost
than the city resident has to
pay. The difficulty in the years
gone by has been to provide the
individual plant at a cost that
would not in most cases be pro-
hibitive. To-day the luXuries
of the country home do not stop
at hot and cold water and sewer
age. These are essential, but
the telephone connecting country
homes and the city enables US
10 exchange friendly greetings
is no small thing in country life.
The rural mail is another mat
ter that compares favorably with
The free delivery of the city.
Then TO add to all this comes the
automobile dividing the country
nome from the city, stores, the
theaters or churches only by SO
many minutes.
These are the things the city
people enjoy and there are some
things vouchsafed to country life
hat the city has not room for.
These are the fresh milk, and
)utter, the cream and the butter
milk. The fresh vegetables and
ruit all home grown. together
With these tempting rations

ways had these on the farm and
does not make an ado over them.
They are things that have ever
been the pleasure of the country
class. The people of the city
don't know what good living is
when it comes to crisp stuff for
table u, e. They are further off
from the enjoyment of the de-
lghtfdl than the farmers wife

These standards are not to be con-
sidered as absolute, but 1t Is not wise
to depart far from them. either from
the standpoint of economy or the
health and efficiency of the animal. It
has been shown that when protein is
fed In excess Of the amount required,
1t may take the place Of carbohydrates,
and that the carbohydrates and fats
may to some degree replace each
other. but they can not take the place
Of protein. All Of the common feeds
contain the three food nutrients
protein, carbohydrates and fat-but In
greatly varying amounts. For prac-
tical purposes those containing rela-
lively large amounts OF carbohydrates
may be classified as carbohydrate
feeds, and those containing relatively
large amounts of protein, as protein
feeds. This greatly simplifes the
making of satisfactory ration, for 1t
is simple enough to give protein feed
with carbohydrate feed, and thus be
sure Of supplying the animals's needs.
The following table lists the common
feeds according to their relative nutri-
ent contents:
