BEST TIME TO HAVE
 THE COWS FRESHEN
More Time for Caring for Animal and Her Products in Winter
 Than in Summer.

CBy c. A. HUTTON. University of Ten
 nessee)
 There are several advantages in having the cows freshen in the fall of the year instead of in the spring. There is more time on the farm for caring for the COW and her products during the winter months
 Cows will give better yield of milk than if they freshen in the spring. If they are properly cared for and fed. they will milk we'll when fresh; then, when the grass comes in the spring, it helps to keep the milk flow, so that the fall fresh COW will milk better through out the year than the one that fresh ems in the spring. The cows will be dry during the hot summer months, when pastures are short and flies are 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 in the summer. If COWS are bred so as to freshen in the fall. they will give better cash re- turns from the sale of their products.

UNION AND BOARD
 MEET IN HARMONY
AGREE THAT BOOKS AND Ac. COUNTS SHOULD BE AUDITED
 BY THE PROEERS.
MAY ASK MOOSE FOR OPINION
The Board Voted to Set Aside $500 For Farm Demonstration
 Purposes.
Monticello


 Acting upon the request of tine Drew County Farmers Union, trustees of the Monticello Agricultural School met with the union here.
 Members of the senior class denied the report circulated last week that the class was dissatisfied with Prin- cipal Frank Horsfal and would ask the board to replace him. The board agreed that books and account of the schools should be audited by the Leg islative Committee and decided they would set aside funds for the purpose out of their appropriations if this is legal. It is probable an opinion from Attorney General Moose will be asked.
 The Farmers Union passed a resO- lution asking the board to employ @ farm demonstrator. The resolution stated that the plan of having fore man to superintend the work on the farm had been unsatisfat tory.
 The board voted to set aside $500 for farm demonstration purposes ard voted thanks to the Farmers Union for the interest 1t had taken in the school.

SUPERIOR QUALITY
 OF BERKSHIRE HOG
Animal in Good Condition Is At. tractive in Appearance
 for ProIificacy.

In general form a modern well-bred Berkshire. in good condition, Is sym metrical throughout. attractive in ap- pearance and recognized at once as an animal of more than ordinary worth.
 The improved Berkshire is further characterized by the superior quality and proportionate quantity of it's flesh. which is tender and juicy. the hams and shoulders being nicely marbled with fat and lean meat. while the sides are also noted for their excellence in these respects, making them espe- cially desirable for curing as bacon. There Is less loss In dressing a well. fitted Berkshire than in dressing any other kind of hog. From the fattening pen to the packing house he suffers less loss than any other breed, and after he has gone through the curing process and has found the consumer the percentage of waste is the smallest of any breed.
 Berkshire swine are also noted for their docility and prolificacy. the sows usually bringing large filters and proving themselves gentle mothera

and cracked corn, wheat screenings, etc., if such feeds are placed within their reach.
 The best way to feed grain to lambs is to make a creep for them. This is pen in the pasture with an opening on each side through which the lambs can creep but small enough to keep the ewes out.
 If such a pen is made of slats set upright the slats may be far enough apart to allow the lambs to creep through anywhere at pleasure.
 This pen or creep should be GOV cred so as to protect the grain from rains and should have a trough in it in which the grain should be kept all the time
 The lambs will grow and thrive wonderfully and when weaning time comes they may be taken away from the ewes without any setback at all.
 Lambs mature quickly and make a better size if they are taught to eat grain as quickly as possible.
 While it Is advisable to see the sheep often while they are on pas ture, still it is not necessary to stay with them all the time and good re- suits may be obtained with plenty of good water, salt and feed and week ly visit, if the dogs do not trouble them.
 If, however, sheep-killing dogs are around, be on your guard with a good shotgun.

(By A. C. CHOATE)
 By this time the sheep have been turned into pasture and I desire to give a few points on the feed for the flock during the time they are on grass.
 When you fasten the gate behind the flock when they are turned on the pasture do not think that your duties are ended until November.
 In the business of raising sheep it is the shepherd with the ever-watch- full eye who Is reaping success, now as always.
 A little time will insure good start and cost but little.
 As asoon as the ground can be worked, take little strip of land, pre- pare a good seedbed and SOW in rape.
 In three weeks SOW second strip and so on until the last of July. These plots should be adjacent to the pas ture and can be temporarily inclosed by woven wire. giving the sheep new feeding ground every four or five days.
 As sheep want short, crisp grass it can be secured by this method with out overstocking the pasture and it would be we'll to have it so arranged that the sheep can be changed from one division to another once in two weeks
 It is surprising how soon lot of lambs will begin to eat bran, oats.

Dr. c. W. Garrison, state health of ficer, reported a serious outbreak of pellagra at the lumber camp of the Plainview Milling Company, II miles south of Plainview, Montgomery County. He said 23 of the 50 white children in the camp are afflicted ard several of the adults show symptoms The disease was thought at first to be sunburn, by mothers of the chil- dren, because of ,esions which ap- peared on the feet, hands and necks of the children month ago. No med ical aid was summoned until some of them developed sore mouths and dietary disorders Orders have been issued to have all children affected kept from school and precautionary measures taken, although no quaran- tine will be placed on the camp. The State Board of Health does not hold that the disease is communicable. The disease has appeared recently at Crosset and in both mountains and bottom sections of the state. Dr James Goldberg of the United States Public Health Service, plans to inves- tigate the disease soon, according to Dr. Garrison.

RAISE PEANUTS IN
 NORTHERN SECTIONS
Spanish Variety Grows in a Bunch and Can Be Planted
 CloseIy-Matures Early.
(By HUGH G. GRINsTEAD.)

(By HUGH G. GR1NSTEAC.)
 A few years ago it was thought that peanuts, or 'goobers" as they are called in the South, could be raised only in the southern states, but now 1t is known that they do fairly we'll as far north as Iowa, while they grow almost as we'll in Missouri as in the more southern states
 The best variety to plant so far north is the Spanish, which grows in bunch, can be planted closer, and natures earlier and more even than the old Virginia varieties. The soil best suited to the growth of peanuts is sandy or warm and we'll drained.
 They should not be planted till the ground is warm, about the same time you would plant melons. Prepare the a hill fl inches apart for the bunch kind, and about 20 inches apart for the vine kinds usually grown in the South
 They should be kept clean. It is not necessary to cover the vine with uiIl III OIutI tO Stt IL to lOA III nuts, No was once done, for the vines will throw out runners on which the nuts form by little roots running into the ground.
 I never saw peanut plant quit bearing Like the cotton plant, they have fruit of all stages of growth when the crop is harvested. and, of course, the longer the season the larger the crop.
 As soon as there is danger of frost the vines should be pulled up. A fork should be run under the hill, loosening the ground so all the nuts may be pulled up with the vine. The vines may be allowed to remain In the field if the weather is good. or they may be taken to the barn and the nuts picked of at any time.
 If the vines are not allowed to get wet they make excellent hay. There will be many culls or imperfect nuts that are worth nothing and should be left on the vines for the stock.
 A pound of nuts from any good seedsman will plant enough for home use They are healthful food and contain much nourishment.
