A Letter From Mr.. Pierce.

According to promise, | will try
to answer the article that was writ
ten, concerning the trouble be-
tween Mr.. Gaulden and myself.
The disagreement was not over
the tobacco crop at all; it was
over the gate and we only had a
few words and finally agreed over
that. AS to the profane language,
there was none used on either
side. AS to the knife, that was
false, as l had no knife and did
not know there was any trouble
on hand until he drew his gun, for
he had left and came back the
second time before this trouble
came up, and when he came back
the second time with his team to
haul tobacco, as thought, and |
asked him if he was ready to haul
the tobacco. He made short re-
ply and drew his gun. I was in
the field at that time and had to
cross the fence. He shot at me
five times, but only one ball hit
me. 1t was in the left side and
didn't do much damage. He ham
mered me over the head with his
gun and cut to the bone. AS to
Gaulden being knocked down, that
was false. If he was % the ground
at all, | did not know it. Dortch
and his boys were trying to pull
him off of me and Stewart ran in
and would have used the claw
hammer, but some Of them pulled
him off and stood him off.-G. 7.

VEGETABLES IN WINTER
(By G. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion. University Of Tennessee.l

(By G. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
A hot bed makes a winter supply
Of fresh salad vegetables possible
Make the bed in January. At one side
sow a row of Scarlet Forcing radish,
and row of Way-a-head or Boston
Market lettuce. In two or three weeks
the lettuce will be ready to transplant,
and in four weeks the radish will be
ready for use. Transplant the lettuce
four by four inches in the hot bed,
and drop two or three radish seed be-
tween the transplants. The radish
will be ready for use before being
crowded by the lettuce, and alternate
lettuce plants can be used, or reset.
They will not be headed by the time
they meet, but the growth will be so
rapid that the leaves can be used
green. The remaining plants, stand
ing eight by eight inches apart, will
head nicely in late March, about the
time the first sowing can be made in
the open.
: Big Boston or May King, sown in
hot bed in January and transplanted
in February can be set in the open in
March to make exceptionally fine
heads in late April or May. Iceburg,
sown in hct bed in February, trans
planted in March, and set in the gar
den in early April, completes the let
tuce spring season.

Her stay on earth was brief, but

sickness.
We know she will be greatly

THIS is THE TIME
TO PRUNE VINES
Flowing Sap In Early Spring
PreCIudes Benefits From
Trimming Them
BEST METHODS FOR grapes
Some Growers Leave From Two to
Four New Shoots on Vines
Each Year.
(By G. A. Keffer, Division of Exten.
sion. University of Tennessee,l

(By G. A. Keffer, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Grapes are best pruned before any
danger of bleeding, which results
when the vines are cut after the sap
flows. Warm weather, even in jan
uary, may start the sap, and it seldom
happens in Tennessee that February
does not start the sap in the grape
vines.
Neglected vines are best pruned by
cutting all new growth back to one
or two buds, and leaving no new
shoots less than eight inches apart.
Where vines are pruned every year,
the pruning is simple enough, but in
unpruned vines there is often long
spacing where no new wood occurs
When the vines have become very
long, with the new growth near the
ends, it is good practice to make sharp
vertical bends in the main canes, fast
ening the vine rigidly to wire trellis
or stakes. During the next season
new shoots are almost sure to spring
in the curves, and If these new shoots
are pruned the following winter to
two buds, each will produce good
fruit; or the main cane can be cut
back to any new shoot, on which
thereafter by careful pruning well
spaced fruiting parts can be devel-
oped.
Some growers prefer to leave two
or four shoots of last seasons growth
to each vine, cutting back each shoot
to six, to ten buds. Whatever the
method, for best results, the vines
should be pruned every year and the
best time to prune is January.

GOOD YEAR FOR HOGS
(By J. G. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion. University Of Tennessee.l

(By J. G. McAmis, Division of Extern
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
To-day is January first, day when
farmers ought to be, and many are,
thinking over the mistakes and sue
cesses of last year with the resolve
to make 1915 better one. Surely after
the lessons that the year has taught
in the South, we are resolved to have
more livestock. Above all, we are
more determined than ever to produce
the pork for home use. If we did that
last year, is there not better and
cheaper way to do it in 1915?
The year begins with hogs selling
at high prices, with no prospect of any
considerable reduction. This means
that it is an expensive failure If we
do not supply our own needs and
great saving if we do. If we grow
surplus it is just as certain to mean
profit, provided we adopt the most
economical methods.
We must not forget that the year
begins with corn selling at high prices,
which means if we feed corn alone,
the cost of pork production must be
high in the same ratio. But when
green pastures are used the price of
pork is far less dependent upon the
Drica of corn.
Alfalfa, clover, soy beans and rape
may be grown as cheaply as when
hogs were selling for four and five
cents per pound, perhaps cheaper, be-
cause we have learned more about
them and their use. Many farmers
are selling corn to hogs for $1.OO to
$3.50 per bushel, and besides holding
the corn (the plant food in it, on the
pasture lot
Just how, when and where to begin
on a plan for green pastures is what
blocks many who are convinced of
the imperative need of them and
realize the profits that they insure.

HARDENED CABBAGE
PLANTS SET EARLY
(By G. A. Keffer, Division of Exten.
sion, University Of TENNESSEE

(By G. A. Keffer, Division of Exten
sion, University Of Tennessse.)
Well hardened cabbage plants can
be set In the open ground in February.
The plants should be purchased from
the South Atlantic Coast region,
where they are grown in the open air;
or they should have been started in
frames in November, transplanted in
frames In December, and by free air
ing made as hardy as possible. Prop
erly grown early cabbage will stand
several degrees of frost when set in
the garden. Many gardeners set their
earliest cabbage on the north side OF
q ridge SO as to protect the plants
from the early morning sun during
frosty weather.
Cabbage demands the richest soil,
constant moisture supply, and perfect
drainage. AS it is an early vegetable,
high tillage is necessary to let in air
and thus warm the soil. Plants set in
February should be well established by
the middle of March. A teaspoon of
nitrate of soda, applied in a narrow
circle around each plant when growth
begins, will greatly stimulate the
growth. For best results make two or
three applications at intervals of three
weeks. But, for the home garden very
good results are assured by the use of
plenty of manure with frequent hoeing
and shallow cultivation. The best early
variety is Charleston Wakefield. An
exceptionally good second early va
riety is Henderson's Early Summer.

A PRACTICAL BROOD COOP FOR
THE MoTHER-HEN AND HER
CHICKS.

(By Leo ], Brosemer, Division Of Elk.
tension, University of Tennessee)
Rearing chickens by natural means
can be greatly simplitied by having
convenient, safe, and easily cleaned
brood coops. A practical coop should
be so built that the chickens can be
closed in at night and still have sufi-
cient ventilation. 1t should be large
enough to shelter the chickens during
cold, wet weather. In this space we
present design which is convenient,
safe and easily cleaned.

PREPARING The STOCK
FOR HARD WORK TO COME
(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten.
sion, University Of Tennessee.l

sion, University of Tennessee.)
AS the season for spring work ap-
proaches, the work stock, which have
been standing idle most of the winter
and receiving light rations of grain,
should be prepared for the hard work
to come. At least two weeks should
be taken to get them in good condition
for work, during which time their
grain should be increased to normal
work ration. Quite commonly they
are put right to the pillow with no pre-
parations, and in a weeks time they
are SO reduced in flesh that it is i'm
possible to get them back in condi.
ton until the rush season is over. Not
only are they not accustomed to the
hard work, but the sudden increase in
the amount of feed, which usually fol-
lows, means SO much more work for
their digestive system that they fire.
Quently get, off feed, and this, OF
course, means serious loss.
Most of the sore shoulders and
other common sores on work stock,
which gives so much trouble through.
out the season, often times are caused
during the first few days of spring
work by Hitting, or rough collars and
harness. The collars should be
thoroughly cleaned and present a
smooth surface to the shoulder If
they do not fit they should not be used.
The harness should be thoroughly gone
over and all the places not In order
should be repaired.

TEACHERS ENTERTAIN AT
INFORMAL DANCING PARTY
Function is Patterned After College
Affairs and the Men are
Not Included

Misses Churchill, Wiley and Hamil-
ton, three of Richards most popular
teachers, entertained at an informal
dancing party Saturday evening at
the home Of Miss Churchill where all
three girls reside.
The affair was a little out of the
ordinary, being carried along the line
of similar functions given in college
and university communities, the guests
being limited to fifteen girls, the
young men being conspicuous by their
absence. In the college towns the
country this form of entertainment is
being more and more carried out as
it is impossible, in private home, to
entertain large number of guests at
once and the popular informal dance
is vieing with the general tinker" in
its ever-growing popularity. The
young ladies expect to give these
dances from time to time during the
winter and needless to say all the
younger set are anxiously looking for
ward to the next affair.
A delicious luncheon was served by
the hostesses assisted by Mrs. Church
i'll, about the middle of the evening,
so that the dancing could be stopped
promptly at twelve o'clock. Misses
Hartho, Clements, Yedica and the
hostosSeS a1ternafod with each other

popular dance music.
