houses may be provided with running
water, bathrooms, and sanitary closets
and it is expected that the example
will cause the installation of similar
convenience in many homes. Two OF
the largest school buildings will be
heated by steam, the others by hot air
In one of the new buildings separate
auditorium is being built from money
subscribed by persons living in the
ineighborhood. In all of the other build
ings an auditorium is provided by throw
ing two rooms together ordinarily sep
arated by movable partition. The
seating capacity of the auditorium in the
seven buildings now under construction
will be 200 each.
Each county in Tennessee is a unit
in the administration of rural school af-
fairs. The county board of education
has power to locate schools wherever it
deems best and the schools are built
from county funds supplied usually by
bond issue; the bond issue, however,
must be authorized by majority vote of
the qualified electors of the equity. At
the last regular election in Clinton coun-
" kNoNtiHDtE, l1it,l DOnu issue OF
$4,000 for new school buildings was au-
thorized. These bonds are sold to the
highest bidder, one broker buying the
entire lot at nearly $500 premium. The
county board determined where the new
buildings should be erected and the kind
OF buildings to be supplied. When these
buildings are opened in September, l6
consolidated schools will have replaced
approximately So one and two teacher
schools, the new buildings under erect
ton at the present time replacing thir-
ty one and two teacher schools. The
county board is following a definite plan
for the consolidation of all schools in
the county. Its plans call for 20 build
ings for the entire county, that is, there
are ~ more to be built at later date
Ii is probable that another bond issue
for these II buildings will be voted in
a few years. The area of the county is
$50 square miles. Each
of the 2s schools win serve therefore
a territory of approximately 1919 miles.
On account of the mountainous charac- |
ter of much of the country, the inha bit
ed territory served by the school is less
than this amount.

Members of the Barre Citizens band,
when appraised to-day of the city coun-

over the action, as it was intimated that
the organization would have faced dis
bandment had the city withheld its sup

Ripening Cream for Good Butter.

Ripened cream makes more butter
than cream not ripened; it churns more
easily and the butter has better flavor.
Butter made from sweet cream is quite
fiat in flavor and aroma, says Syl.anus
Van AIKEN in Farm and Homo. A good
favor in butter makes price difference
of two 10 three cents a round. This
favor is simply a result of ripening.
To ripen cream. place IL at a warm
temperature for p hours or more. Dur
ing this period the bacteria become very
numerous and produce various chemical
changes, giving rise 10 products of spe-
cial taste and aroma. IL makes n great
difference what species of bacteria the
cream contains at the outset. One class

Fattening Chickens

What would be a proper ration to
force the growth of chickens? |
would like to have them weigh two
and a quarter or two and "a half
pounds in about eight weeks; they are
Buff Orpingtons and Rhode Island
Reds crossed. Should they he shut
up or allowed free range?
Subscriber.
Ii is not advisable to force the
growth of chickens unless they are to
be used for marketing purposes. To
force the growth of the pullet which
is 10 be kept for laying is usually det-
rimental To the laying qualities Of the
chicken.
To force chickens for the early mar
ket IA very good ration is a mash con-
sisting of four parts OF corn meal. two
parts wheat middlings and one part
beef scraps This should be wetted
with skim milk until il is a soft mush
thin enough to run from the spoon.
The chickens should he fed all OF this
they will eat while being kept contin-
ed in q quiet shady place. They should
also be given plenty of water and
some green food This method of
feeding produces very fine soft sweet
meat, and the chickens can he sold as
milk fed chickens.
1t would undoubtedly be more prof
liable To sell the chickens when they
weigh from one and one-half to two
pounds, as ut those weights they can
be sold as broilers. Two pounds is
the weight limit for broiler purposes,
as chickens above that weight are too
large for the restaurant or hotel man
to serve a half chicken TO customer.
Another advantage in selling the
chicks as broilers is that they are sold
earlier I'm the season and therefore
bring higher prices. Two and one-half
pound chickens would have to be sold
as roasters and three and one-half
pounds would really be better for mar
keting them for this purpose.

MAKING THE oLEANDER BLOOM

subscriber asks how to induce an
oleander 10 bloom each year, saying
that the plant has failed under his
care
The oleander is not a difficult shrub
to grow, and usually under proper
culture il will bloom each year. The
plant requires plenty of root space,
and is set in either Il large flower
pot or tub made especially for such
plants.
The soil must be rich and rather
light. and there should be drainage
material in the bottom of the pot or
tub to insure proper carrying away of
surplus moisture.
Pruning is essential. Unless the
plants are kept trimmed back some
what, there will be too great a growth
and few or no flowers
As the season for Towering APP
proaches there should be "A little bone
meal applied TO the soil. and this can
be worked into the surface of the soil
by means of a sharp stick or a fork.
Water should be applied regularly
in moderate quantities. and as the
Towering season approaches, give
water a little more freely

Good Roads Department
Conducted Especially for the Banner by Hon. p.
T.. Colgrove, President of the Michigan
Good Roads Association.

In speaking OF the Dixie Trail an
exchange says l.. r.. Colgroye, presi-
dent of the Michigan Good Roads AS
ISOLATION is fairly entitled To credit for
bringing the Dixie Trail" i'm Michi-
gan. After three days of patient or
rather impatient waiting Michigan's
representative was given ten minutes
To present the claim OF the state, and
the reasons why the route should be
extended into beautiful Michigan, the
most delightful and picturesque part
or the proposed road. Eloquently de-
scrlblng the scenery along the Great
Lakes, Michigan and Huron, touching
the beauty spots in glowing colors. Mr.
ColgroVe Wom not only ten minutes
stretched into twenty and over but an
enthusiastic endorsement 10 his plea
for 600 miles more of the most beauti-
ful and historic part of the great
country included in the domain of
Uncle Sam.
Following, taken from the Muske-
gon Chronicle OF Monday, May oath,
gives Il true outline of the successful
effort mde by Mr.. ColgroVe:
Carrying their point after desper-
ate fight for recognition as the north
ernmost link Of the Dixie Trail, the
Michigan delegates returned home last
evening from the meeting at Chatta-
nooga with the promise of the COM
miSsionerS that not only the West
Michigan Pike route along Lake Mich
igan would be included in the great
national highway, but the Huron
Highway from Mackinaw city to De-
troit as We'll
The inclusion Of both routes came as
the climax of a bitter fight between
the advocates of the Illinois route to
Chicago and the Ohio route through
Cincinnati, which was settled by the
adoption Of both an eastern and a
western route with the loop around
the shores of Michigan connecting the
termini of the conflicting routes
Wanted State Left Out
The question. of the Kalamazoo
Grand Rapids route as opposed to the
Pike route along the Lake Michigan
shore did not arise at the meeting at
