mixed with the corn in the same row

grew tall, with little forage below the

When harvest time came it was pos
sible to allow the corns,to stand and
ripen longer than if it had been plant
ed alone, at the same time having it
go into the silo in first-class condition,
because the sorghum had remained
fresh and succulent. Even though the
corn was ripe, it packed perfectly in
the silo. Another advantage was that
the corn supported the sorghum and
lessened its tendency to lodge.

WAY WON'T THE BUTTER
COME ASKS HOUSEWIFE.

4
(By G. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten
sion, University of TENNESSEE
This is a question often heard in
the farm home at this season of the
year. There are several conditions
which cause difficult churning, but dur
ing the winter season, when most diff
fculty is found, it is likely caused
from one or more of the following con.
ditions:
Milk or cream from cows well ad.
vanced in the period of laclation, or
those nearly dry, is harder to churn
than cream from some COWS when
fresh. The farm cow is often nearly
dry during the winter months, and on
most farms, she is fed on dry feed.
The butter fat is harder, and hence
the cream is harder to churn than
when the cow is fresh and running on
a good pasture.
Probably the most frequent cause OF
difficult churning is that of churning
cold cream. This often happens in
the winter time. There is no certain.
temperature at which to churn; buy
this will have to be determined in t
way: Churn at whatever temporal
the cream will churn in twents 100
thirty minutes This may vary under
different conditions as much as ten
degrees, but under average conditions
higher temperature will be needed in
winter than in summer.
Sour cream will churn more readily
than will sweet cream, other things be-
ing equal. In cold weather the cream
is not apt to be thoroughly soured.
If it does not sour by the time that
sufficient quantity is accumulated
for churning, the temperature should
be raised to about 70 degrees and held
there for few hours. 1t may be
necessary in some cases to add a. lit
tie sour butter milk from a previous
churning to start the cream souring.
If a barrel churn is used, it should
not be filled more than one-third to
one-half full, in order that the cream
will have room to become thoroughly
agitated in the process of churning.

On account of the distance mi
farmers live from towns and ths' ex
pense, 1t Is not Away practical to
have ice for the coolingQ q the cream.
This state, however, has : large num-
Der Of springs which can be used for
this purpose. This is a very cheap
and effective way Of cooling cream. A
small, inexpensive milk house should
be built in a convenient place close
to the house and dairy. The water
is allowed to run through the milk
house. A cement basin Is built in the
floor; the can of cream is set into this
basin, and the water allowed to cir
culate around the can. This will keep
the cream at a temperature Of about
so degrees F. during the hot summer
months, which is very satisfactory.
Vegetables or any material giving off
odors should not be stored in the milk
mouse, as cre1, coorSes
serbs odors. Cream should Ohe churn'l
ed every other day during the summer
months.
In order to prevent the milk cows
from eating wild onions and other un-
desirable weeds, young stock should
be turned into the pasture and allowed
to eat the weeds previous to, turning
the milk cows into the pasture In
case there are few onions left In the
pasture when the milk cows are turn
ed into it, they should be taken of a
few hours before milking; the odors
will diffuse out through the system Of
the animal, and this will lower the pos
sibilities of the milk absorbing stha
odors.

SUDAN GRASS
(By ]. G. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By ]. G. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Sudan grass is a dwarf sorghum. In
appearance it resembles Johnson grass,
but the advantage Tor 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 it can be more appro-
priately compared to millet, though
the two plants are not similar in ap-
pearance The chief advantage that
it has over millet, is that it produces
second cutting and often third.
After cutting it may be used for pas
ture.
Cowpeas, or an early variety of soy
beans, may be sown with 1t.
The chief objections to Sudan grass
are
1. The high price of seed.
2. The danger Of the seed being
mixed with Johnson grass.
8. That it is not legume.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

Last year one man in Williamson
county slipped around and watched
the methods used in growing corn by
one Of our demonstrators and made
fun of his methods, and poked fun at
the idea of an old farmer taking ad-
vice from a boy. But this year he
bought a tool like the demonstrators
and worked his corn up to within a
few rods Of the fence under our meth

ALFALFA AND RED CLOVER MIXED

(By j, Y. McAmls, DIVISION OF EXLen-

A lack Of proper incubation is one
of the common causes of failure with
alfalfa. Red clover seldom, if ever,
fails from this cause. Why? Because
the red clover germ has been scattered
almost everywhere by the simple pro-
cess of frequent sowing of clover
The same end may be accomplished
for alfalfa. Mix a small quantity Of
alfalfa seed with all the clover or
grass that is sown this spring and
fall, and you have the safest method
of incubation known. One or two
pounds per acre is sufficient to &C.
complish it.
Most of the plants will die, but II
conditions are at all favorable for the
clover, enough alfalfa will survive to

LIME AND CLOVER
(By J. c, McAmis, Division of Exten-

(By J. G, McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Almost everybody believes that
clover needs lime. Many farmers are
trying to get the combination. The
mistake has often been made that the
lime has been applied to the surface
on old clover stands, or soon after
new ones have been seeded. The re-
suit has been disappointing.
Lime should be mixed with the top
few inches of soil before the clover is
sown. The lime tends to go into the
soil, but the clover often dies for the
want of it before it has had time to
take effect.

to remain over in Brunswick for a
few days, where the climate is equal,
if not better, than that in Florida.

told that they are welcome to the

this city and immediate surrounding
country nave everything to offer the

Fairness to Newspapers.

In a recent speech In Birmingham
Judge Gary paid high tribute to
the newspaper fraternity. Judge
Gary said;
have been obliged to come in
to contact with the newspaper fra
ternity for the past Is years, and
from my experience, | can say
that If the business men treat
the newspaper men right they are
always truthful and fair. My ex-
perience has been that if you treat
the newspaper men fair-will be
frank and honest and give them
the truth and the opportunity to
publish the truth, they will do
it honestly. If you are untruth-
full and unfair then you may ex-
pect to take the consequences.
Judge Gary's experience is about
the same as that of others having
extensive experience with newspa-
pers. 1t is the desire of all reliable
newspapers to be truthful and fair,
and those who take the newspaper
men in confidence are treated with
more consideration than those who
try to withhold facts. Those who
confide in newspaper men will find
that what is told them will be kept
linviolate until it is released. News
paper men will keep secrets when
told to do so. not only on ethical
grounds, but because such policy
helps them in gathering news.
In some cases business men claim
that news stories are inaccurate or
incomplete. In these cases it is the
fault OF those who know the facts in
the case and not the newspaper men.
Reporters often find that people from
whom they secure stories are either
reluctant to tell them all they know
I
about the matter, or fail to do so for
<Sr reasons. The reporters use the
information given them in writing
their stories and are compelled TO
gather the news and write it in
hurry. Reporters who are told all
OF the facts in a case do not use
their imagination in handling their
stories. If the straight dope" is
given to the reporters by business
men and others who happen to be
in possession of news the stories
produced by the reporters will be sc
accurate and complete. II part of the
