THE WORK OF CANNING
CLUB GIRLS

(By Miss Margaret Ambrose, Division
of Extension, University of Tenn
The work of the canning club girls
has been an attractive feature at every
county fair held this fall in counties
that have the club work organized,
at the State fair at Nashville and the
Tri-State fair at Memphis.
The beautiful packs in glass of to-
matoes, peaches, apples, beans, corn.
berries, okra, ETC., never failed to
make the housewives pause, and many
of the men, too. After seeing the ex-
hibits, very few remained skeptical IN
regard to the work. ITS worth while
to teach girls things that make for
better living and better homes" is gen
orally the conclusion.
The exhibit at the State fair was the
best that has ever been made. More
than twenty counties were represent
ed in the canned goods display, and
not one was discreditable. At this fair,
canning demonstrations were held
every morning at II o'clock. Some
days as many as three teams demon
strated.
-Four girls constituted team. Beans,
tomatoes, apples and pears were
canned at different times. The teams
were scored on appearance, neatness'
ease and ability to answer questions
A loving cup was the prize awarded
and was won by the team from van
Buren, county. Mrs. Artie Bryan is the
county agent.

SAVE MORE OF THE CORN
CROP
(By R. NJ Murphy, Division of Extern

(By R. NJ Murphy, Division Of Exten-
sion. University of Tennessee.)
The wonderful prospects for the
greatest corn crop in years in the state
have been somewhat shaken by the
storms of the past few weeks. Many
fields are now blown fiat, or twisted
and entangled until much of the corn
will be lost. Lucky is the man who
has had foresight enough to build a
silo. With the unusual growth Of the
corn crop this year, due to the excellent
season, there is forage enough in the
fields to winter ten times as many
cattle as we have ever kept on the
average farm, we're it preserved in
the silo.
An investment in the price Of silo
Is the greatest insurance policy
farmer can hold against drought and
storms. Only last year the corn crop
in many instances was a complete
failure, due to the severe drought. Mr..
Will Parrish, Terrell, Tenn, had 1870
acres of corn. He had two silos, each
with q capacity of 125 tons. His corn
did not make any ears at all. He put
40 acres of it in the two silos. Twenty
acres would have filled them ordinar-
lily. The remaining 140 acres he left
standing because it had no ears and
he had no way to save it. He fed the
silage to steers and they paid him Sc
per ton for it, or $36 per acre. He re-
ceived s36 per acre for the 40 acres
and the 40 acres were total loss
Put up a cheap silo and save some Of
this loss.

The above question is often asked.
The hest answer is to submit the &C
tual dgures OF an average experience
and permit them to speak for them
selves.
The data here presented pertains to
.be winter of 1894. The steers we're
40 head of 2 and year-old East Ten
nessee cattle. They were on feed from
early November until March. feeding
neriod of 90 days. Feeding was done
in 4 well ventilated barn. Cattle had
access daily to an outside lot for exer-
else. They averaged SOL lbs. per head
in weight at beginning of feed, and
made an average gain of III lbs. dur
ing the SO days.

Profits as above are such as can be
expected by an average feeder during
an average season. The man who fed
the above lot was having his initial ex-
perience at the game, and no doubt
would have bettered his return other
wise.
The steers lacked quality which
made them sell lower and make less
gains than otherwise could have been
expected.
Should the feeder have raised his
stock, no doubt considerable de-
crease could have been made on his
cost of cattle at beginning of feed.
The man who makes a practice Of
feeding annually, no matter how con-
ditions appear, is the man who enjoys
the greatest aggregate returns.

THE 0RCHARO.LANDS
OF LONG AGO.

The orchard-lands of Long Ago!
y drowsy winds awake and blow
The snowy blossoms back to me,
Blow back along the grassy ways
OF truant feet and lift the haze
Of happy summer from the trees
That trail their tresses in theseas
Of grain that float and overflow
The orchard-lands of Long Ago!
Blow back the melody that slips
In lazy laughter from the lips
That marvel much if any kiss
Is sweeter than the apples is.
Blow back the twitter of the birds
The lisp, the litter and the words
Of merriment that found the
shrine
VI summertime aglorious wine,
That drenched the leaves that
loved it so
In orchard lands of Long Ago.
0 memory! a!ight and sing
Where roys bellied pippins cling,
And golden russets CLINT and
CLEAN
AS in the old Arabian dream.
The fruits of that enchanted
tree
The glad Aladdin robbed for me
And drowsy winds awake and
fan
My blood as when it overran
A heart ripe as the apples grow
In orchard-lands of Long Ago!

DUKE DYE is ON TRIAL
FOR SHOOTING NEGRO
BOY

The trial of Duke Dye, former San
ia Fe detective at this point on q
charge of shooting Walter tcoombs, a
negro boy, is progressing in district
court today. Many witnesses have
been subpoenaed by both the state
and the defendant. Dye pleaded moi
guilty to the charge and his attorn
eys are introducing evidence to prove
an alibi. A number of negroes tes-
titled this morning that they wit.
messed the shooting and that Dye
fired the fatal shots.
Several witnesses testified tha,
they had met the officer up town
about the time the shooting is sup
posed to have occurred.
Officer Dye has been connected
with the Santa Fe service for a num-
Der of years Prior to taking service
with the railroad he was city po-
liceman and was considered one of
the brayest and most careful on the
force at that time. Since going with
the Santa Fe he has made many en-.
enies among a certain class or me-
groes who have been helping them
selves to the eompany's coal in the
yards at this point. Said promi-
nent railroad official today ''The
fact that every car of coal that is
halted in Guthrie is short from one
to five tons Of coal; caused by
thieves who infest that part of the
city. there is now movement on
foot to do away with Guthrie as

made and it looks now as though it
will be made. Guthrie will lose twelve
