RED GLOVER AND
SOIL FERTILITY

(By J. c. McAmis, Division of Expan.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
There is a cornfield in Sewer coun.
ty which contains surprise for most
visitors. 1t is not the corn itself,
though it promises an excellent yield.
1t is the stand of red clover growing
in the corn-almost ideal. both in
stand and size. 1t is the only field OF
the kind in the community. Why?
Why has not the sowing Of red clio
yer at the last cultivation become q
common practice throughout the
state? Because 1t has too often
failed. Why did this particular crop
succeed? There are several factors
involved-late cultivation. medium
thin stand of corn. favorable season
etc
1t was no mere coincidence that this
clover should be found only In a new
ground. 1t just happened that in the
same field there was some old land
where the clover was practically q
failure. The newer the land the bet
ter the clover.
How can old lands be made new

a STORY OF TWO
FARMER NEIGHBORS

(By G. d. Lowe, Division of Extension.
University OF Tennessee.)
This is tale of two Tennessee
farmers. They are neighbors. We
shall call one of them Mr.. Lee and the
other Mr.. Jackson. because these are
not their names.
They each possess rather large
areas of grazing land, which for many
years they have devoted to the pro-
duction of beef cattle, selling their
stock in the fall as feeders"
About FIVE years ago Mr.. Lee pur-
chased a registered beef bull of good
type. Since that time he has used this
bull and another equally as good on
his herd of grade females.
During the same time Mr.. Jackson
has continued to use grade bulls OF
varying individuality on his females.
An observation and study of their
product for the past two years at mar.
keting time revealed the following:
Mr.. Lee had each year a carload OF
two-year-old feeder steers, that weigh.
ed from 800 to 900 pounds, for which
an out of the state buyer was glad to
pay him tx cents per pound.
Mr.. Jackson has also had carload
for sale each of these years, but they
were three-year-olds and weighed no
more than Mr.. Lees two-year-olds.
For these medium grade and scrub
steers Mr.. Jackson had difficulty in
obtaining cents per pound, for the
past two years.
What does this mean? Mr.. Lee was
able to make his steers weigh as much
at two years of age as Mr.. Jackson at
three years old, thus saving a, full
years keep. They were also of suffi-
ciently better quality and type to out.
sell his neighbor's production by III
cents per pound.
Moral: Buy better bull.

Miss Hough has beautiful hair,
with the CLINT Of the sun in it, and
it's like a thistle down in it's soft
ness and f1Ufiness. She believes that
her golden topknot. had a good deal
to do with deciding the beauty con-
test in her favor.
''Pm rather proud of my hair"
she said, land l think have a right
to be because I practically raised this
crop myself. My hair used to be
fearfully scraggly, and not bit good
to look at. Then said to myself,
Miss Irene Houghs4 you have pretty
nice eyes, and fairly good complex
ion, altogether not a bad-looking
girl, why spoil your appearance with
scraggly, dull harp
''Then I went to work. / got a
good bristle brush, rather stiff, and
a little jar of white Taseline.
Every night brush my hair until
it shines and then / give my scalp a
gentle massage with my finger tips
until it is pink, which is the color of
the healthy scalp.
ga little trick Of my own is the
use of an old silk handkerchief as a
hair brush. I wrap the kerchief
about my hand and then polish my
hair as if 1 were polishing silver. Your
hair will never be dfab and dull if you
brush it with silk"

CAROLINE GOES TALKS TO
HOME BREADMAKERS
BY Caroline Coe

-SCAl OlillG wv
Wheat flour is high and it's stead
lily going higher in price, but instead
Of worrying about the high cost of
flour, the canny housewife supplies
her family with graham bread, rye
bread, whole wheat bread and other
variations of the staff of life made
from cheap but wholesome -four.
To make good bread one must
have good flour, that is fresh, clean
-four, not necessarily the highest
priced flour in the market, and the
yeast, too, must be of good quality.
There are fifteen billion of yeast
cells in a three-cent cake of yeast.
Combine this yeast force with the
proper amount of sugar, heat, m0is-
ture and flour for them to thrive on
and we have good wholesome bread.
The. yeast plant grows best at about
78 degrees, the bread is of a finer
grain, but one can hurry the bread
by raising the temperature, but at
100 degrees of heat the plant is
bHghted. Cold chills but does not kill
the plant.
Bread may be made with milk, wa
ter or half and half" That made
with water is tougher but keeps bet
ter than that made with milk. Milk
breads also brown more quickly in
the oven than those made with water.
Loaves of bread four inches thick
should bake one hour.
If you desire a soft crust on the
loaf do not cover when taken from
the pan.
Butter or milk rubbed on top of the
loaf as soon as taken from oven and
pan makes the crust soft and sweet.
In my own family we use all kinds
of flour and only make the so-called
white bread about once in two weeks.
Remember, there is really more
nourishment in whole wheat or rye
bread than in the white bread. Corn
