Library Grows.
 For tho first time in the history of the city schools the high school has a library which is worthy of the dig nity of the a name and very con siderable basis has been laid for a library of the first order when the school may have room which can be entirely given over for library pur- poses
 Starting from a small but worth while collection of books. secured largely through donation, about ten years ago. a few volumes at a time have been added until there are now on the high school shelves about 800 volumes of the first order, and in addition to these there are two ency- clopedias. the American and the In- ternational, and a valuable collection of the Congressional Record and of the bulletins of the Smithsonian In- stitute.
 Among the more valuable sets in the high school collection is Traill's Social England, which is an addition de luxe of an exceptionally fine work.

THE LONELY MINERS PHoNo-
 GRAPH.

What would an Alaska steamer be without It's photograph in the cabin? Not a minute is it idle; even while the passengers are down below at meals some lingering hand reaches out for the latest records. MT. Evans, the
 consulting engineer of the United States government board for the AL aska coal fields, on a special mission where he will be shut in until Novem- Der, said to me: What would the miners do without the photograph? ] find one in every cabin no matter how remote 1t may be. It has helped to drive away the loneliness Of camp life in the far-off wilderness and is main- ly responsible for the marked de- crease of insanity among the miners so noticeable in recent yearsn The instrument on the Watson was just then melodiously grinding out Annie Laurie" Think said Mr. Evans. "of the soothing effect Of that beautiful song on a Scotchman immured in cabin a thousand miles from the near est settlement" -(John A. sleicher, in 'Leslies.D

Flrst Dance Of Year

At the first dance of the season held last night at Turner's Hall, the high school students were out en masse and enjoyed an evening which has set their hopes high for many good times during the coming year
 High school dances became a regu- lar feature of the school life last year. and accomplished much in the direc- tnon of better team work among the students. All the boys who did not know how to dance were taught by those who did and at the close of the year the dances were looked forward to with great interest. It is not prob able that the M. D. c. will hold it's dances as frequently as last year, but the club has recognized and will be a prominent factor in the social life of the schools.

LIME, ALFALFA AND CLOVER
CLUBS.

sion, University of Tennessee.)
BY cooperation with the N. G. & st,
L. Ry. Co., the Division Of Extension
of the College of Agriculture, and
County Superintendent Of Schools,
clubs are to be organized and con-
Quoted to demonstrate the use of lime
on alfalfa and clover, or crops pre-
paratory to them, in as many counties
as possible along the lines Of this COM
pany
One hundred tons of limestone have
been provided by the company to the
Division of Extension for free distri-
button in each of the several counties
in which the Division can secure the
efficient cooperation Of the County Su-
perintendent and farmers. The plan
is to effect a rather loose organiza-
ton through which the most desira-
BILE distribution and use of limestone
can be made.
1t is earnestly hoped that both Coun-
ty Superintendent and enterprising
and influential farmers will take a
keen interest In this effort to demon
strate the fact that lime is funda-
mental in Tennessee agriculture.

SELLING THE ROUGH STUFF TO
BEEF CATTLE.
(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-

(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion. University of Tennessee.)
There are thousands of dollars
worth of corn stover, straw, and other
unstable roughage going to waste
every year in the state which ought
to be sold to beef cattle. Mr. w. H.
Neal, of Lebanon, Tenn, sold his
roughage at good price this past
winter, despite the low price of cattle.
On October 18th he bought So steers,
weighing 53,605 pounds at CSC, to
which he fed 100 tons silage, 100 bales
OF wheat straw, 40 shocks of shredded
corn, and tons of cottonseed meal.
He sold the cattle for 7hc. The
cottonseed meal cost him S28.55 per
ton. The steers paid him $69.e8 per
ton for it. They paid him for silage
$597 per ton; for straw, s2.6S per
bale; for shredded corn 1874 per
shock. He might have sold his silage
for $500 per ton; his straw for zoe
per bale; and his corn shocks of soc
apiece. He had in his manure pile an
additional value of at least $4,000,
due to having fed cottonseed meal,
and his .0oEn. stover and straw were

But what we have in mind right
now. Brother Farmer, is the
opportunity for making abusiness
partner of that boy of yours.
Nearly every city business man
looks forward to having his son
succeed him in business. E
But how is it in your business,
Mr.. Farmer? Are you doing like

on your stationery, Sunny Home

are you giving your boy the treat
ment suggested as punishment
for the Prodigal Son, when it was
proposed to treat him merely AS
one of the hired servants?
It's none too early to begin
making him an actual partner
in your farming none too early
to get him interested not only in
doing the manual work on the
farm, but also in making plans
that call for business judgment
and for knowledge of good scien-
tific farming practice rotations.

scientific feeding, breeding, etc.
Anyhow get your boy interested
in farm work this year. Get him
to reading The Progressive Franz

tire with him; give him an acre
of corn or a pig for his very own;
plan to have him make some

TIE TROUBLE WITH FEEDING
BEEF CATTLE THIS YEAR
(By R. NJ. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion. University of Tennessee.)

AOy H. ~ OlNlSAOA Va A@ANSA
sion, University of Tennessee.)
A number of ,hings are getting the
! blame tor the low prices Of beef. cattle
this year. No attempt will be made to
say which of them deserves it the
most-it really doesn't matter to the
feeder. The thing that concerns him
is that he is losing money. A great
many feeders have lost money this
past winter, because the prices were
lower than they had promise Of going.
They had expected them to be higher
than ever before, and felt, therefore,
they were justified in paying more for
their feeders than ever before. Occa-
sionally the Spectator strikes 1t rich,
and just as often he loses. The whole
trouble with the feeding OF this past
winter was in the fact that cattle were
weighed in at too high price. True,
partly because there was scarcity,
but mainly because the Spectator
thought he saw a chance to make a
big profit Feeders sold as high as
TIC, plus a dollar, and there were
punches of finished cattle this spring
willing to go for that same price. A
margin is necessary for profit, ordin-
arily about 112c. The feeder has no
control over the market but he should
certainly look more carefully after
the cost of his feeders. Feeder steers
can be grown for SIC. If the average
feeder had weighed his steers in at
SIC this past fall, there would be
heard much less complaint at low
prices.
Following is quite conservative
estimate of cost of producing feeder
steer:

.Maryville
A Place of Opportunity

Business, health, culture,
hospitality, natural advantages,
all combine to form the ideal con-
ditions for a thriving city. Most
of the towns and cities of the
South have one or more of the
foregoing qualifications, some
have several, but ofkall of the
communities within two hundred
miles, Maryville is the only one
that possesses all of them to a
marked degree. For a moment
consider what Maryville offers
to the laborer, the tradesman,
the leisure class, the capitalist.
For all are splendid educational
advantages. Children can secure
the pubic school education under
well qualified teachers; pass into
the college for the higher educa-
ton or take the business course
in Polytechnic School. These
institutions of learning have
founded practical culture so
staunchly that rush of industry
cannot undermine it. For the
laborer the numerous factories
and public works offer constant
employment that can be followed
the year around without ceasing
In the factories skilled workmen
are employed in working with
iron, wood, aluminium, stone con-
crete, wool and thread. The cap
italist can find ample and safe
investmentin stocks of establish
ed industries that are constantly
adding to their equipment to
meet the demand for their pro-
ducts; investment in real estate
and rentals on which good divi-
dends are realized; investment
in projects which are certain but
dormant, due to lack capital. For
the leisure class, Maryville has
beautiful homes, cultured fami-
lies, a delightful climate, stone
pixies for driving automobiles,
nearby resorts where hunting, fish
ing, boating and swimming can be
enjoyed tothe full limit. Golf and
tennis can be played practically |
every week of the year. Permeat-
ing all these advantages is a /
and unrestrained
hospitality the natural sequence
of a healthy, happy, prosperous
and Heaven-favored people.
Maryville has seven churches
the M. E. Church, Southern,
Methodist, Presbyterian Christ
ian, Baptist, Cumberland Presby-
terrain and Friends, with invest
mentof $3.50, 600, and membership
Of two thousand. The morals of
the town are exceptionally good,
and all things bear witness to
the fact that Maryville is rightly
known as a City of Churches
and Schools.

Average weight Of steer, 800 lbs.
Cost of steer per hundred weight,
1886.
We need more good grade beef
cows. A beef COW does not depreciate
ten per cent in value per year. A cow
that weighs 1000 pounds and is worth
&c in her prime, will sell for &c or
three-quarters of her original value
after ten years service. Figuring as
above, however, makes allowance for
loss by death, failure to breed, etc.
With feeder steers at 51sc, the feed
ing of cattle still offers us very at
tractive market for corn stover, straw,
and all other unstable roughage.
