FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
or twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
of our country, and her noble achieve.
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
TO bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radfcrd
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer national Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to u
farmer it is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger moment at few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
Aold communion with the world
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci.
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
IN language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can ali help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tons. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors IS long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test Of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
mentS.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the d.
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements OF human
thought and activity.

ECONOMICAL USE OF WINTER PASTURES

ensiOn, University of Tennessee.)
bone and muscle in pigs has re-
Gently been brought to attention by
a bulletin of the Kentucky EXperime
Station, in which is given the analyses
of the common cereals and other
plants at different stages of growth,
which shows that the young rye
when five inches high contains $50
per cent protein and 2.17 per cent ash,
and when twenty-seven inches high
contains only 2.72 per cent protein
and 1.59 per cent ash; and wheat at
same heights 6.54 per cent protein,
800 per cent ash, 2.31 per cent pro.
tein, LIS per cent ash. The same
change is noted in the case of the
other cereals, and it is very interest
ing to note that at five inches in
height, all of the cereals analyze high
err in protein and ash than do the
clOvers. Alfalfa contains All per cent
protein and 1913 per cent ash, and red
clover 4.31 per cent protein and POI
per cent ash, both of which are notice
ably lower than that of green rye, and
this explains why stock thrive so we'll
on cereal pastures. To obtain the best
results with such pastures, use them
with pigs while the growth is young
and tender, changing to cattle and
sheep as they become more mature.

(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division of Elk
To get the best use out of winter
pastures of wheat, barley, oats, rye or
clovers, attention must be paid to
utilizing them with the right kind of
live stock at the right time. There is
a marked difference in the ability Of
different kinds of animals to make use
of foodstuffs of varying coarseness,
due to the differences in the capacity
of their stomachs. The pigs stomach
has an average capacity of only about
two gallons, while that of the COW has
an average capacity of sixty-siX gal
Ions and the sheep eight gallons, SO
that the pig cannot possibly use as
bulky material to advantage as either
Of the other animals. Fo" this reason
the pigs should have the first chance
at the pastures, and while the
forage is young and tender. If one
watches a bunch of pigs grazing on a
pasture of any OF the common crops,
he will observe that they chew and
swallow the green material if it is
young and tender, but if it has become
coarse they chew it and spit it out,
simply because they cannot use it to
advantage Cattle and sheep do much
better on the older pastures than do
pigs. Another reason of much i'm
portance in the development of better

The most profitable age and condi-
ton for disposing of beef cattle de-
Ponds largely upon the character and
value of the land on which they are
grown. If one has a large area Of
rough grazing land with a relatively
small area for the production of crops,
he will usually find it more profitable
to sell his cattle as stOckers, or feed
ers, to his neighbor in the valley who
has more feed than the number of cat
tie he can afford to raise will use. For
this reason, the farmer in the valley
has been able to buy cattle cheaper
than he could raise Them since his
lands are so much higher priced than
the rough grazing lands The cheaper
lands of the state do not at present
supply the demand, though they are
not producing near the number of cat
tie they are capable Of The yearly in
creasing price of beef, is causing the
establishment of small herds of beef
cattle varying from a few cows to fifty
or more, on the more profitable farm
ing lands. The need of cattle is realized
in the keeping up of the soil fertility,
and beef cattle require less at
tention than dairy cattle. Those who
have from three to five calves to sell
each year will find it more convenient
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1915-02-25

to dispose of them to the professional
feeder than to fatten them, but those
who have as many as ten cows will
find it much more profitable to buy
enough calves from their neighbOrs to
make out a carload and finish them
on their own farms, and if they have
as many as thirty breeding COWS, the
offspring should be finished at home
every year The man who has but
few steers to sell is at the mercy of
the local buyer, since he is not justi-
fed in shipping them to the big mar
kets; but the man with a carload of
steers has no trouble finding a salts
factory buyer. The most profitable
age at which to finish the calves for
market depends upon a number Of
things. If calves are we'll bred, having
at least one-half the blood of one of
the standard beef breeds, they can be
finished most profitably by the time
they are one year old, or but slightly
older. If less than half breeds, they
must be kept longer, and the poorer
the grade, the longer before they can
be finished; in fact, it is impossible
ever to finish satisfactorily, animals
of a very inferior grade, but they do
take on flesh better when three or
four year olds. Young animals gain
much more rapidly and cheaply than
older ones.
