CHARITY CLOSE TO HOME
Smiths Seemingly Generous Action
Was Not Altogether Matter Of
Philanthropy.

Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas
remarked the other day that Philan-
thropy was not always actuated by a
beautiful and generous heart, and told
this story to back up his statement:
One afternoon bunch of congenial
spirits were talking about the various
leading citizens OF the town when a
parsimonious party by the name OF
Smith was smilingly referred to.
Speaking of Smith, interposed an
other of the bunch, II met him yes
terday afternoon going around town
with petition trying to collect money
for a poor widow that she might pay
her rent"
What's that" exclaimed the
amazed crowd, all OF whom knew
Smith. Collecting funds for widows
rent! Watch out for the millennium
at a. m. tomorrow"
"Oh, no, it isn't as bad as that" ex
planned the other You see, Smith

From "Michigan-The Land OF Plenty"
In a comparative study of the AZ
states by the Russell Sage Foundation,
Michigan, considered from the various
educational standpoints, is accorded a
place above the average. The educa-
tional conditions are such as to be
worthy of considerable pride to the
citizens. There is no other public in
terest in the state to be compared to
that of the public schools. President
Emeritus Angel of the University of
Michigan declares that the people Of
Michigan have "veritable passion for
education"
From the very beginning of our
state life public education has been
recognized as a state function. The
ordinance Of 1877 set forth the prin-
ciple, Religion, morality and knowl-
edge being necessary to good govern
ment and the happiness OF mankind,
schools and the means of education
shall forever be encouraged" From
this principle there has never been

so far this season leaving about twenty
five or thirty cars yet to go out. Last

(By G. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Tennessee farmers are learning
more and more the necessity Of d.
versifled farming and the keeping of
more live stock on their farms. A
great many are turning their attention
to the dairy cow as source of ready
income and a 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 source
of income. The prevailing idea in
great many communities, II a few
farmers should decide to get into the
dairy business, Is that they should
build q creamery. While well-man-
aged, successful creamery does afford
an excellent market for cream, yet
many dairymen in this state have bet
ter markets afforded them by city milk
plants and In cream plants, than most
creameries can ever hope to afford
The most essential requirement for
o successful creamery is sufficient
supply of cream. The product from at
least four hundred cows should be
available, and they should be located
within radius of not more than ten
miles of the creamery, or shipping
point. In some communities the roads
are in such poor condition that 1t 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 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 a result OF their work. In Greene
county alone they built four cream
cries a few years ago and not one Of
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.

(By r. M. Murphy, Division Of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
Everybody is talking better live
stock, but after all the talking is over
1t Is not much clearer to the average
farmer how he Is to get any better live
stock than it was before. He Is con-
WINGED that he needs better live stock,
but a hundred-dollar bull costs just as
much as 1t formerly did. 1t is not
economical for a single farmer in a
community to buy high-priced bull
to use in the improvement of his own
herd OF perhaps half dozen animals,
and when such an individual happens
to become inspired with sufficient am
bition to make a purchase, his efforts
are rarely backed up by the enthusi-
asm and appreciation Of his nelghbors,
and the valuable animal, after a very
meager service extending through the
space of about three years, generally
is sent away to be slaughtered even
before his true value Is known.
The only economical solution of this
difficulty Is to be found in the pur-
chase OF q community bull, In which
the entire farming community will be
interested, and to which all of the
breeding animals OF the community
will have access. This makes possible
the owning of first-class bull at but
a very small cost to any individual,
and 1t also gives the bull a much
greater field OF usefulness. The
average pure-bred bull owned by an
individual in community Is rarely
we'll enough patronized to justify his
maintenance; mainly because there is
not the community interest back Of
him. On the other hand, the bull in
which the whole community is inter
ested Is given an opportunity to im-
prove Immediately the type of cattle
owned, granting that he is the individ-
ual he ought to be. The first crop OF
calves following his appearance in the
community will carry fifty per cent OF
his blood. One community Is recalled
into which q Poll Durham bull was In
troduced a few years ago. The first
year he was not so strongly favored,
but just as soon as his first crop OF
calves began showing their superiority
which was evident, he became very
popular and since that time has not
lacked appreciation, and to-day the
entire beef cattle population of the
community reflects his influence.
The buying of one thoroughly first
class bull In community of the breed
that the community likes best will
mean more Of the immediate improve.
ment OF the cattle of the community,
at less expense, and will stimulate q
greater interest In better live stock
than any other one thing.
