PURE FOOD LAW.

: Below We print a letter from tn,
pure food inspector of the state regard
ing placing labels on packages. The
pure food laws are getting very string
ent, and those who put on the market
unlabeled products are getting them,
selves liable to very severe penalties
Put label on every can or package
you send out is the proper way to
avoid trouble.
Upon investigation, this department
finds that it has been a time honored
custom for people in the country to
place in containers. sorghum molasses,
maple syrup and honey as we'll as
various farm products, for the pulpos
of placing on market. They seem to
be unaware that the State laws spe-
officially state that they shall contain
no salicylic acid as .preservative, if
Sodium Benzoate is used for this pur-
pose. it shall not be over ITO of per
cent, and SO stated on the label.
Also that containers shall bear la
bel. and if contents are adulterated or
colored in any manner, it must be so
stated on the label. The label at the
same time, must state the net weight
of contents. 1t has come to our notice
that the producers in the rural COM
munity are selling these commodities
without following out any Of the
above instructions.
take this occasion to warn them as
we'll as the merchants purchasing
same and reselling to his patrons,
that / will be compelled to prosecute
all parties concerned under the laws
of the state. Our reasons for this are
manifold. We find that in a large
number of cases, goods are being ad-
liberated and that short weight is be-
ing given, and that there can be no
check made upon the matter as long
as containers do not carry labels of
any description. Merchants will be
warned that hereafter should inspect
ors of this Department find goods of
any character on their shelves, such
as suggested above, they shall imme-
diately condemn and prosecute the
offenders as violating the Sanitary
Food law of this State.
sincerely hope that the good people
of this community will recognize the
reasons we have for taking this action
and will cooperate with us by follow
ing out the law in every detail.
Anyone npon request to this depart
ment will be furnished with copy of
the law governing this matter.

BUILDING The
DAIRY FARM
Now is the Most Convenient
Time of the Year For
Such Work
SELECT HIGH DRY GROUND
Plans for Building Barns, Silos and
MIX Houses Will Be Fur
nlshed Free.
(By c. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of TENNESSEE

10Y -. a. f1uIIOllt DlNlolOh Va -A-
sion, University of TENNESSEE
The late summer and fall months is
an excellent time for building barns
and milk houses. Farm work is less
pressing and the work can be more
conveniently done at this season than
in cold weather. This is especially
true with regard to the building OF
dairy barns, since the COWS can be
MIXED in the barn lot for few days
II 1t should be necessary to remove the
old barn to make room for new one.
Again, 1t is difficult to put down con-
crete successfully during cold weather
One Of the first things to consider 10
the general type of the barn-Whether
any farm live stock except cows are
to be kept in the barn, and the num-
Der of animals to be cared for. the
best plan is to have the dairy herd IN
q barn by ITSELF as there is less con-
fusion, the danger of loss from fire is
reduced, and 1t can be kept more sanl-
tary. Where the dairy herd is small
and only few horses and other live
stock are kept general purpose barn
may be used, in which all Of the live
stock are housed. 1t is good plan to
store hay above the cows, provided
tight ceiling is provided. Nothing but
q self-supporting roof should be used.
This increases the hay capacity; there
are no posts in the way of the hay; 1t
makes a more durable roof, works
much better than a straight roof, and
costs practically the same. Bank barns
are usually unsatisfactory in the South
They are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.
Select a convenient location on high,
dry ground, easily accessible to fields,
water and other buildings. Never
build dairy barn less than 80 feet
wide nor more than 36 feet. Less than
this width is inconvenient, and more
than>36 feet is useless and unnecessary
expense. Never put in more than two
rows of cows. If horses or other live
stock are to be sheltered in the same
barn, put them In one end of the barn
away from the cows, rather than to
one side of the CO wstalls, as this
would shut off light and ventilation.
The COWS may face In or face out,
but 1t is usually considered best to
have them face out They get the fresh
air as soon as 1t enters the barn, and
this Is the handiest arrangement for
and cleaning out the barn. Put
in at least four square feet OF window
space for each COW. Concrete makes
the most sanitary floor and is cheap
est in the end. A stall for an average
size Jersey cow should be feet 8
inches wide by 4 feet inches long.
Barn plans, blue prints and advice
about the construction of modern dairy |
barns. silos and milk houses will be
free to farmers Of the State
who will write to tie Dairy Specialist

There is no good reason why the serv.

There is only one proper place for a

BOND BILL STATUS.

The bond bill is still in court. At
torney Rankin has appealed and is
now working on his brief to the Su-
preme Court of Tennessee. And the
people are satisfied that they will get
the justice they have long desired in
the matter there, for in the beginning,
judging from the unfair methods prac-
ticed against them, they felt that only
in the Supreme Court would they get
Justice.
1t has been a queer medley Of af-
fairs, one which began, with us, in
an attempt to restrain Mr.. James from
routing the Dixie Highway away from
the county and valley completely, and
which ultimately grew into a fight
wherein the right of people to be
taxed without their consent was a
question. When the matter reached
this point, the Dixie Highway was un-
desired, and if it had never been men
toned for the county it would have
been a great deal better for the peace
and happiness of the citizens. A COM
promise proposition to spend half the
money voted by the court over the
will of the people was lost in vote
of the court, because this compromise
would restore to certain roads money
taken from them by two-faced bond
bill, a bill which read one way In
the papers and another in the legisla-
ture. Then it was the people saw
clearly what was forth coming, taxa
ton upon taxation and without repre-
sentation, if nothing was done to stem
the tide, and in desperation urged on
by their fellows, a number grouped
themselves into band to carry the
matter to the courts and seek the long
denie ed Justice. These men knowing
the magnitude of the task, assumed it
with reluctance, but the people are
staying staunchly behind them, and
the suit has now progressed till it has
reached the highest court Of Tennes-
see. If no redress is gained there, the
people are calling for these men to
push the case on higher. into the Su.
preme Court of the land, but this
would involve other considerations,
which in default of favorable decis-
ion from the Supreme Court of the
state may come up later.
1t has been a mystery to us during
all this trouble. why it was some of
the men involved in 1t pursued the
course they did. In previous matters
concerning the people they had always
been for the peoples rights, for the
rights of labor, and for the saving of
county funds 30 as to keep down taxa
tion, but in this case they seem to
have abandoned their former inspira-
tions and gone on different tack.
This was regrettable in every way,
for after all the true essence of govern
ment is respect of the rights of the |
people. We even found men who had |
journeyed to the county seat time and
again to "hold down the taxes when
the tax rate was $1.40. lined up, per-
demanding it be increased
from the present $t.9O to goodness
knows what. Their conduct was enig-
and must have been species

regrets to hear this, for the farmer in
this section seems to be the first one
hard hit by stress, either natural or
financial. About all we can say is to
face the misfortune as best as as pos
sible and after the water clears away
save all the corn and fodder possible,
and then look forward to something
else. This is about all a farmer OF
anyone else, for that matter, can do
when oppressed by misfortune.
