EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick.
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need a dose of dangerous calomel just
remember that your druggist sells for
so cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone, which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and rs perfect substi-
tute for calomel. It is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
1t to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't grippe.

RELATIVE TO MARKETING
OF HENS IN TENNESSEE
Dispose Of Old and Surplus Poultry
Best Time for Sales Has Proven
to be Immediately Before Easter.

(By Richard N. Crane, Division of Elk.
tension, University of Tennessee.)
Experience and observation in the
poultry market for ten years indicates
That the best time to dispose Of your
surplus hens is during the three
weeks preceding Easter. This is es-
pecially true of heavy fowls. These
fowls should be as fat as it is posi-
Bile to make them, and should be mar
keted alive. Any hens that you have
on hand, unless it is advisable to re-.
tain them because of their breeding,
that have entered their third year,
should be disposed of during this time.
Usually following Easter, the fowl
market gradually weakens until it gets
to a summer base, being several cents
a pound lower than three weeks to
month preceding the Easter holiday.
1t will usually be found more profita-
BILE for the farmer to sell his hens to
the local buyer than to ship them, pro-
Vided the buyer has competition, or is
willing to pay what the market justi-
fies, leaving him legitimate profit.
If this case does not exist, our advice
to the farmer would be if he has as
many as two or three dozen fowls to
market, to get in touch with the COM
mission merchants on the various
large markets, and request them to
make him a price F. 0. B. his shipping
point; he must advise them exactly
what he has, stating average weight
and breed, and when he comes to ship
to live up to the same.
Any who require further informa-
ton relative to poultry marketing
would do we'll to correspond with our
Market Specialist, Mr.. VIM. A. Schoen-
field, Division of Extension, University
of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Just before Easter, uniform broiler
chickens weighing nine to twelve
pounds to the dozen sell at high
prices; in fact, for more money than
the same chickens weighing twenty
four to thirty pounds to the dozen will
bring eight weeks later. Only the
young cockerels should be sold as
broilers and the early Matched pullets
kept for early winter layers.

Bankers Realize the
Value Of Pig Clubs

Washington, May 20.-The
bankers in many states are realiz-
ing the value Of pig club work as
a means of materially improving
rural conditions, according to
club agents Of the United States
department OF agriculture. Not
a few OF the bankers have made
it possible for worthy club mem.
bers to secure pigs on their
personal notes. In this way a
well-bred pig is secured and the
members can pay for it from the
proceeds of the pig as meat ami
NAL or from the sale of offspring
in the case of a breeding animal.
The member enters into a bust
ness agreement with the parents
consent) with the banker, and is
in this way relieved Of the Stigma
of charity which is the result
when a pig is given outright.
This arrangement is a practical
means of teaching business meth
DDS to the rural young people. 1t
is also a character building pro-
cess for it is but natural for a |
boy, when treated as a man, to
act in a manly manner.
This apparent generosity on the
part Of the bankers is in many
cases business acumen. A case
in point is that of a Texas bank.
The president of the bank placed
1926 pigs among the pig club
members of his county. AS a re-
suit of the acquaintance made in
securins land placing these pigs, |
many new patrons were secured. |
These patrons brought in over
individual deposits.
Needles to say, this was profitable
business for the bank, but it is
also means l that will increase
with time in its beneficial in
fuence. One Of the Texas papers
states that the banker, has laid
the foundation for a prosperity
which will be lasting. The boys
that heshas helped to get started
in the hog business are now on
their feet financially, and before
many years they will be making
big shipments Of hogs to market
each year. The money received
from the sale of hogs will be ex.
pended in further developing the
Every merchant in the
county will profit, the banks will
get mores deposits and the farm
ers will lhava more money with
which to further develop their
arms"

BREED TO FRESHEN IN FALL

(By II. y. SLOckWell, DIVISION Oh hA-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
There are at the present time few
dairymen that breed their COWS to
freshen in the spring rather than the
fall. This is done on account Of a
natural tendency to follow out the sys-
TEN which the cow had selected, while
she was in the native state and had to
select her own feed.
At the present time with our i'm
proved methods of feelings, when the
feed is stored in the summer for win.
ter use and where feeds are almost as
cheap in the winter as in the summer,
there are no good reasons for breeding
the COWS to freshen in the spring.
There are, however, many advan-
tages in breeding the COWS to freshen
in the fall.
The first main advantage to this sys.
tenn of breeding is that they will give
the largest flow at the time of the year
when there is the greatest demand for
her products, and at the same time
the highest prices are paid for those
products, thereby increasing the in
come from the COWS. This will in
many cases mean the difference be-
tween profit and loss in the dairy.
Where a number of dry COWS are
fed during the winter months with no
income from those COWS the profits at
the end of the year are reduced con-
siderably.
Not only will she give the largest
flow of milk at time of highest prices
but she will milk longer and her total
yield at the end of the year will be
greater.
In the spring, after milking all win
ter, she will begin to dry off, but just
at this time pastures are abundant
and when turned out to pasture, same
will act as a stimulant for milk pro-
duction, and she will continue to give
good flow of milk up until time to
dry her off, thereby increasing the lac
tation period and her total production
for the year.
Not only are the profits of the dairy
made greater by the increased pro-
duction and prices, but they are fur
Their increased by the raising of the
011 1itHr Of+ Lo 77oi11y 1Nrnd,1on5
During the winter months when the
other farm work is slack labor is much |
cheaper and more easily obtained for
the dairy than during the summer
months. When large number of the
COWS are dry much more labor is
available for the farm on account of
the extra time that can be devoted to
the dairy during the winter months,
and as a consequence the COWS are
better fed and cared for. Not only
are the cows better cared for, but the
calves are also given more attention
and will eventually make better cows
on account of this better care during
the critical period of their life.
With the COWS freshening in the fall
the calves are fed on skim milk and
grain until spring, then they are
turned on pasture to continue growing,
while where the COW freshens in the
spring the calf is fed on milk at the
time grass is plentiful and in the fall
when it is Weaned it must be fed on
dry feeds. calf handled in this way
will not get the growth nor will it be
the producer when freshening that the
calf will that is handled under proper

THE BIRDS AND THE FIRE

We all like to hear about the
indians, about their customs, hab-
its and beliefs. They have many
queer explanations of natural events
Among them is this legend related
by N. T. Hatch. This is the story.
One cold day in winter the birds
wanted to build a. fire, but they
had neither matches nor flint, and
SO they shivered and shivered; but
after a while one Of them found a
little spark left in the smoldering
heart of big log that had been
on the fire the day before.
Among the many birds that, gathI
cred round the log We're the wren,
the crow, the owl, and the turkey.
How could they start the fire need
ed so badly.
First the wren tried to fan the
spark into a blaze; but the log
was hotter than it seemed to be,
and the wren burned his feet and
feathers, and flew away in fright.
The white crow tried next. In
those days crows were white, but hi
slipped ON a part of the log that
was burned to charcoal, and roll
Led over and over till his beauti-
full white feathers were as black
as SCOT.
Then the wise owl puffed out his
cheeks and blew and blew on the
spark, but it still refused to be-
come blaze, and so much smoke
raised from the log that it blinded
the owl, and he flew away to 8
dark place to rest his eyes.
The turkey them strutted up, and
famed and famed with his wide

Our Little Martyrs

Shall we care when nesting time
Brings no birds from any cline;
Not voice Or ruby wing,
Not a single nest to swing,
Midst the reeds, Or higher up,
Like a dainty fairy cup;
Not single little friend,
All the way, as footsteps wend
Here and there through every
cline,
Not a bird at any time?
Does it matter? Do we care
What the feathers women wear
Cost the world? Must all birds
die?
May they never, never fly
Safely through their native air?
Slaughter meets them everywhe iM
Scorned be the hands that touch
such spoil.
Let women pity and recoil
From traffic barbarous and grave,
And quickly strive the birds to

ers from it's throat ard the top of

But they had a fire at last and
ali enjoyed it's warmth except
those who had suffered in trying
to start it.

who does not believe this story he

the crow which is now blacks. the

bald headed turkey as good proof
that it must be true.
