BREED YOUR cows TO FREsHEN
IN THE FALL.

(By C. A. Hutton. Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
There are several advantages In
having the cows fresh in the fall OF
the year instead of In the spring.
There is more time on the farm for car
ing for the cows and her products dur.
ing the winter months, as farm work
is not so pressing at this season.
Cows will give better yield OF
milk than IL they freshen in the spring.
II they are properly cared for and fed
they will milk well when fresh; then
when grass comes In the spring II
helps to keep the milk now, so that
the fall-fresh COW will milk better
throughout the year than the one that
freshens in the spring. The cows will
be dry during the hot summer months
when pastures are short and flies bad
More attention can be given to caring
for the calves, and they will be ready
TO turn on pasture in the spring when
grass comes.
There is more demand for milk and
butter during the winter months, and
the price is higher than during the
summer. II cows are bred so as e
freshen In the fall they will give bet
ter cash returns from the sale OF theii
products.

barn, as any other unused implement,
and 1t is as much a mistake to use 1t
at the wrong time as 1t would be to

A good spray pump has Its sub

firms are putting high-class outfits on

In fighting the various diseases OF
plants-mildew, fruit rot, blotoh, soab,
etc.-the main principle involved Is
the idea OF prevention-spraying with
remedy, like self-boiled lime-sulphur
solution or Bordeaux mixture when the
fruit is first formed, and then at In
tervals OF not more than four weeks,
to destroy the disease when its germs
begin to grow. The germs Of the de-
structiye fungi are so very minute that
they can not be seen with the naked
eye, and the air Is full of them. II the
plants are covered with the solution

skin Of fruit, leaf, or branch, its ten

tact with the remedy, Several spray
ings are necessary, not only because
rain may wash off the first application
but also because the growing tissues
expand, and the new parts must be
protected by repeated sprayings.
1t is apparent, then, that the spray
pump must be frequently used II the
crops are to be protected from their
enemies. 1t is also apparent that many
kinds of crops can be protected By
spraying. Most people think of the
spray pump in connection with the
orchard and vineyard, but 1t has
much wider use. Not only fruit and
vegetable crops can be protected b,
the spraying machine. but wherever
Insects or fungi threaten. there is use
for the spray pump.

sIrD sELrorlos ON rHE FARM

Nothing has been proved more con-
elusivsly within recent years than the
importance OF seed selection. This
applies to every crop grown on the
farm.
There 10 q general impression that
there 10 something mysterious about
plant breeding. and that q practical
farmer can not accomplish anything
IN this direction. No greater mistake
could be made. while we hear much
about selection for disease-resistance,
droughtreeistance. etc, after al, selec-
ton for crop improvement In any d.
reotion means simply. select seed from
the best individuals under oil eondl-
tons.
When q crop has suffered from any
adverse condition, such as drought
for example. selection IL more an
portant than at any other time. A
hsld OF corn. oats, wheat, or cotton
should under such conditions be care
fully searched over, and seed saved
from the finest individual plants. This
seed planted the next few years TO

Suppose, for example. q tomato
grower In Gibson county had been IN
the habit Of annually selecting his own
tomato seed. choosing not only good
fruit, but also good plants. He would
almost certainly have had 8 blight

disease had been prevalent on his
land, Just a. Professor Essary secured

Iderful can woman find in the dance
that has set one and all fairly crazy

that he does not know how to trip the
light fantastic toe. Therein lies the
secret OF the dominating, popular craze

Looking back to the time when pic

dancing. Wherever there is music,
and youth is about, impulse springs to
the heart, setting the blood In the
veins tfngling to its merry rhythm.
Feet will not keep still, and the inn
pulse to whirl about to the merry
measures is 50 compelling that youth
and rnaidens spring to the bidding
OF the joyous dance music. Human
beings respond to the sweet spell.
AL care is forgotten and life is buoy
Eant-the world, like the heart, is
aglow.
Fair girls, aye, and women past their
meridian of life, look their best in the
mystical steps of the dance. The years
seem to slip away from them, as does
their ayordupois. The constant and
graceful exercise restores to those a
nature like the one they possessed in

When there is dancing sorrow and
dullness vanish. The heart is light,
Joyous, and free. The younger and
