TRIUMPHS OF PEACE.

1t is significant that the names OF
Doctors Findley, Carroll, Reed, Lazeal
and Agramonte are not among the
list of thousands of persons and things
dwelt upon in the last edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica. And yet
these men, through their discovery OIL
the means by which yellow fever is
spread and b. establishing the means OIL
preventing it, made contribution to
society which has already saved thou.
sands upon thousands of lives anC
millions upon millions of dollars.
In the same encyclopaedia, you may
search in vain for the name of Nicholas
Sem, surgeon who, by his own work
and especially by his teaching, has
directly and indirectly put life saving
knowledge to work for the everlasting
benefit of mankind. And yet consider
able space is devoted to acquaintine
students with the prize ring &C.
complishments of Tom Sayers, one time
champion pugilist Of the world.
Again, you find long lists of names
of minor poets, painters and essayists,
the very existence of many of whom
would long since have passed from rec
objection were it not for such memor-
ials as the encyclopedias furnish.
It is singular how values in knowl-
edge and service and success have
been and are still being guaged. Let
a man slaughter enough in warfare and
his name and fame will be perpetuated.
Let him, however, by personal sacrifice
of money, health, or even of life itself,
secure life, health and wealth to others
and his name will be glorifed by his
own craft and guild if at all.
Why should we not begin to exalt
men OF peace, particularly when we see
where men of war are leading the
world today? And in the pursuits of
peace. what labor is more worth while
than that which prevents disease and
robs death of it's sting? 1t seems to me
that no accomplishment of an in
dividual, of a community, or of a state
can equal that of saving the lives and
insuring the health of ones fellow
beings.
Round about you there are babies
who will sicken and die during the hot
weather for the want of little in
tellieent care, of nickel's worth of
ice, of clean bottle of milk Can you
imagine any greater joy than would
come to you with consciousness that
you, by your own effort, had saved the
life and prevented the pains of such a
one?

Anyone making an extensive drive in
any portion of Wisconsin at this time
will continually come to places where
fine roads are being made. He will
note a great amount of macadam and
will be pleased to see that as rule this
macadam is being oiled as soon as COM
pleted. In the past hundreds of miles
of fine m acadam roads have been allow
ed to 20 to the bad because of not being
oiled. 1t seems that the state has
awakened to the situation and that here
after all macadam will be oiled and
made to last lifetime in fine condition.

No tillage operation of the garden
is more important than hoeing, and
none is so badly done. Plow under

spading fork and rake; use the best OF

right depth, and cultivate regularly
and we'll All these preparations will
not take the place of good hoeing.
Keep the hoe sharp. Begin using 1t
as soon as the little plants show above
the ground. Hoe very close to the
plants, cutting the soil an inch deep
or so with slanting cuts very close to-
gether. Then smooth the surface with
the back of the hoe, making it dust

the soil will crumble, but do not wait
until it is dry. Hoe often. Hoeing

the greatest depth admissible, and one

HOW ONE FARMER is iNCREAS-

(By r. M. Murphy, Division OF EXten-

Butter fat is worth about thirty
cents per pound. One beef cattle
raiser in East Tennessee approaching
this fact, and also the fact that his
baby calves do as well on skim milk
fresh from the separator as when
sucking their dams, has taken to milk
Ing his COWS, separating the cream
from the milk, and shipping it to the
nearby creamery. Three pounds OF
corn will easily replace one pound Of
butter fat in the calf's ration, at cost
Of only four cents instead OF thirty.
Is this twenty six cents worth the trou-
ole? Suppose his COWS produce on the
average only one hundred and fifty
pounds of butter fat in year, or one
half pound of fat per day for ten
months. This, at thirty cents per
bound, means forty-fve dollars per
COW, or enough to pay for her feed and
care, leaving her calf clear profit.

BUiING The BEEF BULL
A QUESTION OF TYPE
(By R. M Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion. University of Tennessee.)

(By R. M. Murphy, Division OF Exten-
sion, University of TENNESSEE
The buying of beef bull is not
nearly so much a question OF preeo
as of type. Whether an animal has
good top line and a good underline
with plenty of width and depth and
good quarter is of much more import
ance than whether he is Shorthorn,
a Hereford or an Angus. 1t is very I'M
portant in any case that he be OF pure
breeding and comes of a line OF good
producers. A bull of scrub parentage
might be a first-class individual IN
every respect, but we should naroy
expect him to transmit his excellent
qualities. because he did not inherit
them honestly. His offspring will al
most invariably give him away. WeV
can never Judge an animal except by
his offspring, but our best guarantee
lies in good pedigree. A good pedl-
gree is one in which the immediate
ancestors are animals OF Importance.
Farther back than six generations the
influence is practically nothing.
AS we become better acquainted
with the different breeds we find that
neither of them has any particular ad-
vantages over the other. A great
many people change from one breed
to another because of desire to
have something different, and more
frequently than otherwise, to have
changed was a mistake, especially II
the change meant the introduction or
q breed entirely new to community
which had up to the time favored
single breed. A man introducing and
trying to popularize new breed is
at a serious disadvantage because h9
generally has but few animals to
work with and he finds no ready sale
for the surplus stock he may wish to
dispose of. 1t is much better business
to select the breed the community IA
vors.
Select an animal of good proper
tons, low down, blocky, straight top
and underline, with plenty OF depth
and width; good width of chest,
strength in heart girth, low down in
flank, and we'll developed quarters,
with Just as little head and neck and
legs as possible.

FERTILITY OF OUR LAND AND
LIVE STOCK HAVE SUFFERED

(By R. NJ. Murphy, Division OF EXten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
Not only has the fertility of our
farming land suffered by our failure
to get good stands Of clover Tor the
past few years, but our live STOCK mas
also suffered because of lack OF feed
stuffs sufficiently rich in protein TO
supply their requirement OF muscle
making material. We have tiled to-,
in a measure, make up for our loss by
using cowpeas and soy beans, ana
while they are now very generall9
grown and as hay furnishes a satls-
factory substitute for clover, Still on
many farms in the state the WORK
stock are forced to subsist, and to 90
their daily work, on ration composed
of corn, timothy, or OF mixture OF
the other grass hays, millet, corn fod-
der, or sorghum, all OF which are
good feeds in their proper places, buE
which are all markedly low in protein
content. @N
Such. ration may be best I'M
proved by the use Of small quantity
of cottonseed meal. Cottonseed meal
is our cheapest commercial source OF
protein, since it contains from SO TO
Al pounds of protein in each one hun
dred pounds of meal, or practically
three times as much as wheat bran
contains. 1t is very rich and for TINS
reason must be fed only in limited
quantities. Ordinarily 1000 pound
horse or mule should not be fed more
than two pounds per day, but this
amount may be fed continuously with
out any danger of evil effects. The
| proportion of cottonseed meal to corr
in the ration should not exceed one
pound of cottonseed meal to i've
pounds of corn One pound OF cotton
SEED meal when used in this way vii
save two pounds of corn, and since
corn is worth practically as mucf
pound for pound as cottonseed meal
the use of two pounds Of cottonseet
meal in the ration means the saving
of four pounds of corn, or a ration
three cents cheaper per day, or say
ing of ten dollars per year, and il
addition the work stock will be KEEP
up in much better condition and lool
better.

The sheep interests or the state are |
sadly in need Of an effective Dog Law
Tennessee is ideally located for the
production of early lambs, and but for
the ravages of the common cur, the |
number Of sheep now in the state
would be double in the next five years.
Sheep, with the dog out Of the way,
are our most profitable live stock.
They live largely upon things that
usually go to waste. Every farm
should have a small flock to utilize
surplus pastures, weeds, etc. A good
breeding eve, costing S., will live on
what she can pick up and produce
lamb, and frequently two, worth $6
each the first of each June.
Our present legislature should pass
such law. Following is given an out
line embodying the essential features
OF all the dog laws now in force in the
different states:
Taxation of Dogs.
1. State to license and tax all dogs
six months of age or over which are
not licensed and taxed by cities or in

Each additional female. ........ 800
Kennel licenses to be issued with
restrictions. (See sKennel License
Law of State of Connecticut)
8. Counties or townships should be
empowered to levy additional taxes on
dogs should it be deemed necessary.
Issuing License, Payment of Tax and
Identification of Dogs.
/. All dogs six months of age or
over to be reported by owner to proper
county official for licensing. owner
shall also be responsible for relicens-
ing dogs at end of year.
2. All taxes to be paid by owner to
proper county official at time OF
licensing.
8. All dogs to wear collar showing
owners name and having attached
metal plate bearing license number
Handling of Sheep-kiIing Dogs.
/. Dogs may be killed by any one
(a) When caught chasing or killing
sheep. CD When caught off owners
premises, unattended and without
collar bearing license number.
2. A reward of SIS to be offered by

8. Dogs must be ordered killed by
authorized official when proved to be
sheep killers.
Compensation to Sheep owner for
Injured or Killed.
1. Authorized county official to pay
owners of sheep injured or killed, the
: full value of damage done, from the
funds accommodating from dog taxes
Should such funds be insufficient to
pay all damages in full other funds to
be made available for this purpose.
But should such funds accumulate In
