Curing the hay crops so as to get a
first-class product is a practice that Is
worthy of the careful attention of ev-
cry farmer growing such crops. Too
often cutting is delayed till the plants
are so ripe that large per cent of the
leaves fall off in the handling, and the
product then is inferior in quality. Es-
pecially does this apply to such crops
as the soy-bean, cow-pea and alfalfa,
in which cases the leaves form approx
imately half the weight of the entire
plant. And when the leaves are lost,
the most valuable part of the plants
is gone; for it has been shown that a
little more than three-fourths of the
food nutriments OF the plant is in the
leaves. To get the best quality OF hay,
the crops must be cut relatively early
in stage Of maturity and cured in
cocks instead Of parching in the swath
as is too commonly done.
To aid in, the curing of the crop
when it Is cut comparatively green,
and raked before it has been parched
in the swath, it. is recommended that
the hay be. raked when wilted and
placed upon racks or frames. These
are SO made that when the hay is
placed over and around them it is kept

success in keeping ants away is to lay
cotton tape, from one-half inch to one

The largest comm ercial peach or

county, in the vicinity Of Kingston.
Here the Clinch river flows into the
Tennessee, and Handicapped ridges
rise to height of 400 feet above the
water.
Ten years ago Professor Crowder
planted an orchard of two thousand
trees on slope facing the river, and
this orchard has not failed to produce
crop since it came into bearing, and
almost all the crops being highly
profitable.
Attracted by his success, Others in
the vicinity have planted orchards.

CONTROL RED ANTS IN HOME.

Many have been the inquiries in re-

suggestion or two at this time, by way
Of controlling these little pests, may

These ants live in the walls and under

Souring of milk is due entirely to
bacteria. If it were possible to keep
those out, milk would never sour; so
the length Of time milk will remain
sweet, depends on our ability to limit
the number of bacteria in it. To do
this, 1t is important that we know the
ways that the germs get into the milk
and what condition favor their growth
after they are in. Milk is a very eX-
cellent food for many bacteria, and
when they once get started they in
crease in numbers rapidly, changing
the sugar Of the milk to acid, which
gives it the sour taste and smell and
causes the casein to curd or clabber.
Dirt of every kind carries with it more
or less bacteria, SO that when it en-
tiers the milk it introduces whatever
germs are clinging to it. If the diht
is entirely, or largely composed of ma
nure, it will always have large num-
Der Of bacteria. Very small particles
of this filth, even as floating dust, will
supply many germs to the milk If it
is allowed to get into it. Any work
around the milking stall just before
milking is likely to scatter some dust
into the air and, this settling, will lodge
in the milk vessels and thus increase
greatly the germs. Cow hairs always
have many germs on them and add
their share to the milk, il allowed to
get into it. The hands and clothing of
the mixer often carry many germs
and in working over the pals while
milking these are dislodged and drop
into the milk. Cleanliness of the milk
or is very essential in the handling OF
milk. Another source of bacteria, in

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 boy. But this year he
bought tool like the demonstrators
and worked his corn up to within a
few rods Of the fence under our meth
eds, and then used the old method.

Tennessee Farmers Should
Beware of the Cream
cry Promoter
DAIRY BUSINESS LUCRATIVE
Many Farmers Are Turning Their At
tention to the Dairy Cow as a
Source of Ready Income and Soil
Improvement.
(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee)

CBy c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee)
Tennessee farmers are learning
more and more the necessity of di-
versified farming and the keeping of
more live stock on their farms. A
great many are turning their attention
to the dairy COW as a source of ready
income and means of soil improve
ment.
The general interest in dairying has
caused widespread interest in the
building of creameries over the state.
Especially is this true in West Tennes-
see, where the depressed cotton mar
kets are causing farmers to look for
something besides cotton for a source
of income. The prevailing idea in
great many communities, II few
farmers should decide to get into the
dairy business, is that they should
build a creamery. While well-man-
aged, successful creamery does afford
an excellent market for cream, yet
many dairymen in this state have bet
plants and in cream plants, than most
creameries can ever hope to afford.
The most essential requirement for
successful creamery is a sufficient
supply of cream. The product from at
least four hundred COWS should be
available, and they should be located
within a radius of not more than ten
miles of the creamery, or shipping
point. In some communities the roads
are in such poor condition that it Is
not practical to deliver cream during
the winter.
A great amount of excitement has
been created over the state by the
professional creamery promoter, whose
sole object is to sell a creamery outfit.
These promoters get the confidence of
the farmers and usually succeed in
selling a plant at about two prices.
They have operated in all parts of the
state, and we have number Of ex-
amples of creameries that have failed
as result of their work. In Greene
county alone they built four cream
cries few years ago and not one or
the plants was ever operated success
fully.
Any community considering the
building Of creamery should first get
in touch with the State Agricultural
College rather than listen to the glow
ing stories of the creamery promoter,
who is always working for a selfish
interest.

THE LUSITANIA'S FATE.

1t might almost be said that the
Lusitania's fate was of her own choos-
ing. Her voyage had been openly ad-
yertised and the submarines mad but
to wait and watch for her. The OBJ
server thought at the time that the
boasts of her owners in regard to her
speed and the reference to her sup
posed ability to keep afoat by reason
of ner bulkhead equipment, were made
to pool-pooh the idea Of danger and
to make the intending Toyagers feel
at ease. But it is more probably the
case that these boasts and claims were
made in good faith, for a company
that could have believed the ocean
lanes safe for the passage OF such an
inviting mark as this big steamship,
would have believed any claim that
might be advanced in argument for
t1e safety of the ship. The anony-
nous warnings received by passengers
about to embark should not have been
needed by sensible people. The very
circumstances under which the Lusi-
tania sailed should have been sufficient
to give thoughtful people warning Of
the certainty of the fate that awaited
the snip. The sinking of the Lusitania
will bring tie stern realities Of the
German blockade home to the world.
There has been no reason to doubt
the earnestness of the German inten-
tons in regard to enforcing the war
zone warnings. The main response
bility for tne loss Of the steamer rests
with tie company that sent her out

Since writing the editorial in Tues
days issue of The Herald and News
on the sinking of the Lusitania, we
have read the above from the Char
lotte Observer, and We are pleased to
nave Il e endorsement OF our pOSlLlon
from so good paper as the Observer.

Mr.. Taft said that the principle of

England and France should be en-
braced in an effective league of peace.
eve must recognize, however, that
the questions within the jurisdiction
of such a court would certainly not
include all the questions that might
lead to war, and therefore we should
provide some other instrumentality
for helping the solution of these
questions which are not justifable
This might we'll be a commission of
conciliation to investigate the facts
and to formulate and recommend a

1T is to be observed that the fourth
suggestion does not involve the mem
bers of the league in an obligation to
enforce the judgment of the court nor
of the recommendations of the COM
mission of Cancellation. 1t only fur
nishes the instrumentality of force to
prevent attack without submission.
Tae required submission and the de-
lay incident thereto will in most cases
lead to acQuiescence in the judgment

The people of South Carolina must
nave been in a terrible state of law
lessness, as seen by our governor. At
LeesVille he told the people that the
State could make no substantial prog
ress until law and order were restored.
At st. Matthews, on Memorial day, the
News and Courier report of mis- speech
says: "The governor was unstinted in
his praise of the heroism of the men
during the war and during the rehabil-
itation of tie South, and he admon-
isned them that the call for bravery
is loud today as it was in the COS,
the call now being to restore South
Carolina as law-abiding State, and
their duty being to stand as exponents
Of the constitution and laws"
Of course all citizens should stand
as exponents of the constitution, and
laws, but we can seen no good to come
to law enforcement by constantly talk
ing about the lawlessness and the duty
to restore law and order, because we
believe We have had law and order in
South Carolina, and We do not feel
that it is just to the people of the
State to be constantly charging them
with being lawless set. We do not
see where it does any good in the es-
tablislment of law, granting there was
a degree of lawlessness, which We
do not.
