Why Should City Not
Issue Bonds Now

Lack of Sewerage System

Voted with Filtration
Bonds

Why should Maryville not vote
on a sewerage system bond issue,
simultaneously with it's vote on
additional water bonds, which
election, it is expected, will soon
be called by the board of mayor
and aldermen?
By all means, Maryville should
have a sewerage system. In a
town of from 1000 to 5000 as
Maryville has, it is not a safe
thing to pass through many sum-
mers without a sewerage system
to carry off the refuse and filth
that is assembled in yards, alleys,
etc. These places are breeders
of disease, and it is in such places
as this that typhoid germs are
generated and from which this
disease spreads. Maryville has
no epidemic of disease now, buff
the health conditions of the town
are not improved, an epidemic
might break out at any time, and
none can tell who it would take
in it's wake. 1t is the business of
the town to help protect the
health of it's citizens, and in a
city the size of Maryviile, and
which is growing so rapidly, a
sewerage system should be con-
structed without another min
ute's delay.

the dairy and live stock farms of
Blount county.
One of the best fields open to
the ambitious young man with
agricultural and live stock raising
tendencies, is in Blount county
not any one particular section,
but throughout the entire county.
Rolling hills and sloping valleys,
fresh streams, shady hiIlsides,
large expanses of grass and grain,
make this the ideal spot for
dairying and live stock raising.

View of COWS and partial view of dairy house and
Residence on A. B. Montgomery & Sons farm

One of the best equipped dairies
in the county is that of A. B.
Montgomery & Son, known as
the Valley Home Dairy which
supplies Jersey milk and cream
to scores of Maryville families.
Located about two miles from
the center of town, and a short
distance from the Niles Ferry
road-just far enough away from
the busy thoroughfare to afford
that privacy of rural life which
is one of its richest attractions.
and yet near enough that a fe "
minutes walk will put one in the
center Of town, is this live stock
and dairy farm. On it is a herd
of about twenty five COWS with
the best Jersey blood, one or two
with Hereford blood, and two or
three Durham-Jerseys, besides a
half dozen or dozen young heifer
calves and thoroughbred Jersey
bull, a descendant of a registered
COW on the University of Tenn
essee farm at Knoxville. Mr..
Montgomery has been in the
dairy business for twenty years,
and has made a success in the
business. After these years of
experience he believes that the
best COW for milking purposes is
the Jersey. He has a black
Jersey, several yellow Jerseys,
and two fawn colored Jerseys, in
his herd, practically all thorough
breds, and every one a good
mixer.
These COWS range over the
grassy hills of the farm and are
given that feed which will yield
the largest per cent of milk fat
and produce the best quality of
cream. The fields have expan-
Sive shade tracts in them, are
penetrated by spring branches
and creeks, and afford an ex-
cellent run for a dairyman's
herd. And after one has drunk
the milk and wondered why so
good, his wonderment is ended
as he gazes over the fields and
pastures in which the milk pro-
ducers range.
One of the most interesting
visits one can make is to a dairy
mans barn. About 5 o'clock in
the afternoon, the COWS are cor
raled in the barn and barn lot.
Each has her name and recognizes
it. Sleek and we'll groomed by
farm hands, fat from the rich
ness of the pasture-felds, gentle
from long and careful treatment,
the appreciation of their treat
ment is expressed by the friendly
glances they make at their keep
ers, the gentle habits and large
quantities of milk produced.
Mr.. Montgomery has studied
the dairy business from every
angle, and has built a dairy barn

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-07-22

To develop an up-to-date dairy
of ten Jersey cows, several calves
and a Jersey bull, from an old
SOW, is rather an unusual feat.
Indeed it is a remarkable feat
more remarkable in the animal
world than are some of the start
ling things Burbank has done in
the vegetable kingdom. HoWev-
er, the feat-the development of
a fine dairy from an old sow
has been performed, and the man
who done it is Will A. McTeer,
Jr., elder son of DR.. and Mrs. A.
B. McTeer, of Maryville, and
nephew of Maj. Will A. McTeer.
Willie McTeer, as he is known
to his friends, operates one of
the best little dairies in the
county, tits called the Mountain
View Dairy, and is located on the
Niles Ferry road, about two miles
from the center of town.
Mr.. McTeer has inherited many
of the tendencies and beliefs of
his father, one of which is that
if a thing does not pay, then it is
not worth the time and effort put
into it. And that is the theory
upon which he operates his dairy.
Mr.. McTeer is a junior inMaryville
College, and during the college
term looks after his dairy bnsi-
ness just when he gets an appor-
tunity, and he makes an Oppor-
tunity every day.
A few years ago, DR.. McTeer
bought a tract of 20 acres on the
Niles Ferry road. 1t extends
from the road to the Tennessee
& Carolina Southern railway, the
boundary lines forming rect
angle. The front of the acreage,
facing the pike, is elevated, and
slopes in splendid lines to the
rear. The tract is divided by a
creek, which affords water to the
COWS on the farm.
While his father was residing
on the farm.a few years ago the
family now lives in town, the
Doctor noticed that his son had
symptoms of love for farm life,
and to test the hold this fas-
cination for the farm seemed to
have on his boy, he purchased a
SOW and gave it to Willie. Willie
took good care of the SOW, fed
her we'll, and was surprised one
to find that she had pre-
sented him with a litter of pigs.
That was too much pig, but he
decided to feed them we'll and
some day sell them. He took a
fancy to dairy cattle, and believ-
ing himself a good trader, he dis
posed of his pigs and purchased
a Jersey. Then he started into
the dairy business, selling milk
to a few of his neighbors. But
he continued looking after his
SOW and when his next litter of
pigs came he bought another COW.
Thus by raising pigs and selling
or trading them, he soon had a
dairy of several cows, and went
into the dairy business more ex-
tensively. All Of this time, his
father was impressing upon the
son the fact that unless the rev.

Here's Way
To Make
County
Better
Why Should We Not Get
Into This Statewide
Movement?
Organization of Faamers,
Their Wives and Children
Would Be Good Thing to
Ask Prof. Morgan to
Speak to us.

Why should Blount County not
get into this statewide organiza-
ton NOW?
Fostered by Prof. H. A. Nor
gan, dean of the college of agri-
culture of the University of Ten
nessee, a movement is now being
inaugurated whereby the state
shall be organized for the devel-
opment of agriculture and i'm
provment of all conditions which
affect the farmer and his family.
"A farmers club, a home max
ers' club, a boys club and a girls
club in every community" is the
purpose of the organization.
That such community organiza-
tions shall comprise a county Or
ganization and the county organ
izations shall comprise the state
organization, is the object of
Prof. Morgan. Every man, wo-
man and child who knows Prof.
Morgan, knows that he under
takes nothing except what he be-
lieves to he to the best interests
of the people whom he is trying
to serve. No man in the state
has done more for agriculture
than has Prof. Morgan. This is
not an encomium to him, for he
needs no eulogies, but every per-
son who has studied the agricult-
ural problem of Tennessee, knows
that Prof. Morgan is the leading
farmer of the state. With this
knowledge as a foundation, there
is no reason why every county
and every community in Tennes-
see should not support him in
this new movement which he is
inaugurating.
The organization work of COM
munity clubs for men, women,
boys and girls has already been
commenced in Hamblen county,
and will spread to every part of
the state. The activities in some
of the counties are being directed
in their incipiency by the COM
mercial organizations. Maryville
and BlOunt county have Board
of Trade which is as good as the
best in the state, and as Blount
county is an agricultural county,
and as our problems are largely
agricultural, there seems to be
every reason why the board
should communicate with Prof.
Morgan at once and get in line in
this statewide movement which
is going to do much to make the
rural communities more profta-
BILE and enjoyable, and more at
tractive to the young lives which
are leaving it with such haste,
chasing off after the attractions
of the city, which are only a will

lives are not bettered, but hinder

and county bodies. is not a new
thing. 1t is a lesson which agri-
cultural and educational leaders
have been trying to teach for sew
eral years, and which, we believe,
had it's incipiency in the mind of
the late Prof. Knapp, founder
and organizer of the boys corn
clubs and girls canning clubs.

enue from the sale of milk, but
ter and cream would pay the eX-
penses of operation and a nice
salary to himself, that the propo-
sition was not good one. This
theory has been practiced by
Willie from the beginning of his
experience as a dairyman to the
present, and he will convince any
one that the dairy business and
live stock raising in Blount Co.,
even on a small scale, is a good
one.
These facts concerning the his
tory of Mr.. McTeer's dairy farm
are related to show that with lit
tie capital but with persever-
ence and foresight, anyone can
build up a profitable business in
Maryville and Blount county.
Now, Mr.. McTeer has ten cows,
several calves, a fine Jersey bull,
and continues to keep one Dig on
the farm, simply as a reminder
of how he got his start. He op-
crates dairy wagon and has sew
eral horses and mules on the farm.
The dairy farm of Mr.. McTeer
is ideally arranged and located.
On the twenty acres, he produce
enough corn, peas, etc, to furnish
a sufficient amount of ensilage
to feed his cattle all winter. Be-
sides this, the farm yields enough
produce and fruit to supply the
family throughout the summer
and part of the winter.
The improvements on the farm
and in the dairy barn are made
from the revenue derived from
the dairy. IF it don't pay,
don't run it." says DR.. McTeer,
and his son says that unless it
did pay he would not run it.
However, Mr.. McTeer, after he
pays his tenants wages, buys
feed, salt, ice, dairy house equip
ment, and pays other expenses
attached to the operation of the
dairy, comes out with nearly $100
to the good every month and does
not work at the job all the time,

The dairy business is a good
business if it is handled properly
and an effort is put forth by the
On Mr.. McTeer's farm is a

is splendidly equipped. 1t has
a concrete floor in which the COWS
are MIXED. In the center is a
gutter which carries off all refuse
into a pit out in the lot. The
floor is washed daily, and disin-
fectants are poured on it, thus
preventing the swarming of flies
and other nuisances about the
premises. The vessels are kept
clean and sanitary. AS the
mixers go to their cows they

dirt that has accumulated during
the day while in the field, and
take every precaution to keep

That nearly eleven-twelfths of the
students attending the University of
Wisconsin this year are definitely al

student membership of the various de-
nominations in Madison. OF the 4,86S
men and women who are attending the
university, 4,425 are affiliated with some
church. This does. not include large
number of students who belong to the
Christian Science, Jewish, or Unitarian
congregations not represented by uni

tors, two of them provided with
special student chapels, minister to the
spiritual needs of students. Besides
these the university branches of the

Chief of Police O'Hare and number

Racine on Sunday morning to take a
look at a lot of merchandise which was

merchandise piled on tables at head
quarters but none of the visiting mer-

stuff. The woman admitted that she
had piled her trade as shop litter in

stuff stolen is still stored away some
where. The stuff now held in Racine
was taken from stores in Milwaukee,

Miss Mary Jane Weeks, aged IS
years, long connected with educational
in Kenosha and former
head of "Miss Weeks SCHOOL, on
Deming street died at her home just
after eight O'Clock Monday morning.
Death came as result of stroke of
apoplexy. Miss Weeks had been an
invalid for the past two years but she
had been cheerful in her illness and
her friends had hoped that she would
be spared. During the last few days
she had failed very rapidly and this
morning she dropped into sleep that
knows no awakening.
Miss Weeks was daughter of the
late Jonathan Weeks and she was born
in Linden, Vermont, on Christmas Day
of 1929. She was educated at Mt.
Holyoke and she gave more than fifty
years Of her life to work as teacher.
She taught in the south and east be-
fore she came to Kenosha more than
thirty years ago. Before the days of
the kindergartens Miss Weeks for
many years maintained at her home
on Deming street school for the
younger children and she numbered
among her pupils many children from
the best known families in Kenosha.
She had wonderful ability as a teacher
and her school for many years proved
a most popular institution. During
the years of her school work she lived
with Miss Laura Brown who died some
eleven years ago. In recent years i'll
health had made it impossible for Miss
Weeks to give any of her time to
teaching. She was woman of wide
intellectual attainments, a brilliant
conversationalist and woman who
with encroaching old. age kept In close
touch with all the great movements of
the world at large. She had high
ideals and sense of social service far
beyond that shown in many women in
school work and she left strong i'm
pressions for good upon the minds of
the young people with whom she came
in contact in her school and in the
homes of Kenosha. She was the last
member of an old eastern family. Two
nieces had been close to her in her de-
clining years. Mrs. Horace Weeks of
Racine was with her when she died
and Mrs r. S. Cross of Livingston,
Montana, is now on her way to Ke-
nosha to be present at the funeral. A
devoted Christian woman of education
and with high ideals. Miss Weeks left
strong impression upon the commu-
nifty in which she had lived for so
man years.
