Tennessee can not make any claims
as to being highly-developed dairy
state at the present time, the dairy in
dustry being only in its infancy. Wis
consin is to-day the great dairy state
OF our country But why should this
be true? Has not Tennessee just as
good, or even better, opportunities for
successful dairy farming?
For successful dairy farming four
things are necessary: Good cows,
proper feed and care, good markets,
and man with natural liking for
the business. Tennessee has for long
time enjoyed the reputation of being
noted for her many fine herds Of Jer-
seys, but they are comparatively few
In comparison with the common ma
tive, or scrub. cows. The average milk
yield of Tennessee Is less than four
thousand pounds per year, while the
average yield Of butter is about two
hundred pounds per COW. Very little
money can be made by keeping cows of
this kind. It is estimated that one
third Of all the cows in the country are
kept at loss, one-third just about pay
expenses, leaving only one-third that
are MIXED at profit. BY the use of
the milk scales and the tester, dairy
man can weed out the Improbable
members of the herd, and thus, with
practically no expense, can double his
net profits and still milk a smaller
number Of cows.
While good COWS are highly essen
tial for profitable dairy farming,
there are doubtless as many cows that
fail to pay a profit because of poor
feed and poor care, as there are that
fail to pay on account of inferior dairy
qualities. The cow may be compared
to a factory. The feed we give her is
the raw material, the milk which
she yields is the finished product. 1t
would be Just as wise to expect -four
mill to turn out -four without being
supplied with wheat as to expect
q dairy COW to give a profitable flow
Of milk with insufficient food. Too
many so-called dairymen depend too

MANY ADVANTAGES or
THE SUMNER SIL0

(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Extsn-
sion, University Of Tennessee,
A small silo for summer feeding Ii
one Of the best means of keeping up
the milk flow Of the dairy herd. Few
dairymen have sufficient pasture for
their herds during the hot. dry months
of midsummer, and, as q result, the
milk flow usually decreases.
More COWS can be fed from the same
acreage by the use OF the silo than By
pasturing. There is no waste from
tramping down of the food, and the
cows are not exposed to the hot sun
and fiss. An excellent plan is to have
q silo small in diameter so that some
silage can be fed every day during the
summer, II 1t should be needed Many
dairymsn now have two silos-a large
one for winter and q small one for
summer.
The dairy with plenty Of good silage

two and one-half to three inches

order to keep the silags sweet and

A surprise and shock to local peop le
was the result of the news received
here Saturday of the pardon of A. B.
Pardue. Governor Rye had promised a
reputable citizen Of Moscow that he
would not act on the pardon petition of
Pardue without allowing the opponents
a fair chance of placing before him
their petition and facts. However the
governor saw fit to ignore his promise
and to act on the matter when he knew
the facts would not bear him out in
this way This act on the governors
part should put an end to any political
aspirations he might in the future have
and will lose to him the respect of
many Fayette county people. The act
of Governor Rye should speak more
than a volumn OF words from the
writer who desires and stands for a
square deal to all men.

Deep Flowing E Exhibition

One of the most interesting farming
exhibitions we have seen was witnessed
on last Thursday afternoon at the farm
of W. G. Day near this city when four
good strong mules were seen drawing
a regular subsoil plow which was run
ning by actual measure ten and twelve
inches deep. 1t was being run each Is
inches and the land disked after it, thus
putting it in splendid condition. In
spite of the extremely dry weather this
plow went right down into the earth
twelve inches, breaking and loosening
the soil to this depth and when the disk
ran over the surface it presented the
appearance Of having been plowed and
disked after the usual fashion. The
work was particularly interesting and
one seeing it is impressed with the un-
usual depth to which this plow runs.
There are several such plows in the
county which have been in use to more
or less degree for two or three years
and if we mistake not a few demon
strations will result In placing several
times as many in the county as are al
ready here.

The civil docket has taken more than
the customary time of the court this
term and it has not been finished up to
Wednesday morning. It has long been
customary to finish the civil docket Of
this court Tuesday and to take up the
criminal docket on Wednesday morn
ing, and oftener than otherwise
the civil cases have not consumed
two full days of the courts
time. Indications are. tho, that the
criminal cases will not consume as much
time as usual. so that adjournment by
the end Of the week is likely.
