hanG1i1g OF i've atoC-i That returns a
bigger profit on the first cost than the
simple act Of dehOrning.
The presence of horns on cattle on
sale at the large central markets gen
orally means that those cattle will sell
for from Is cents to 25 cents per hun
dred pounds less than otherwise.
There is only one argument in favor
of horns and that is the value of the
horn, as a by-product of slaughter, for
the manufacture of buttons, etc.
Horns interfere greatly in the feed
lot with the development Of uniform
bunch of cattle; they also are trouble
some in the car when shipping. In
fact, they serve no good purpose at
any time, on market animals.
Methods of doing away with horns
are simple. In the first place they
may be bred off, by using a polled bull
Practically all breeds of cattle now
have pOlled strains.
Arresting the development of the
horn, by application of caustic when

another easy way.
Actual removal of the horn with
clipper of saw, if properly done in
early fall will not affect the animal
greatly, but should be done while
young, before horn has reached large
size. Care must be used to cut close
enough to the head to insure that no
stubs follow A ring of hair should
come off with the horn.
Bleeding is many times quite exces-
sive in removal Of horns from mature
heavy horned animals, therefore, such
should be watched.
1t is usually not necessary to apply
antiseptics or ointments to the stumps
in this climate, if operation is perform
ed in cool season when flies are alb
sent.
In any event, get rid of the horns.
1t will pay and pay well.

PLANT LOCUST FOR POSTS
(By Charles A. Keffer Division of Ex-
tension. University Of Tennessee.)

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
There is hardly a farm in Tennessee
that does not contain few acres that
can be devoted to the growing of trees
to be used for fence posts. There are
odd corners, irregular pieces Of
ground that can not conveniently be
embodied in fields, steep hillsides,
gullies, even the best of farms have
small areas that for one reason or an.
other can not be profitably cultivated.
Plant them to black locust, or other
good post timber.
Trees are sometimes planted along
highways, and used as living fence
posts, but this is poor plan because
too much of the adjoining fields, which
is often the best on the farm, is taken
up by their shade and roots; the land
two to four rods into the field is great
ly reduced in crop-production by the
trees.
Black locust is the best species to
use for posts, because it is very dura-

tree of the most rapid growth. The
seedlings can be bought of western
nurserymen for less than two dollars
per thousand. They are easily grown.
Gather the seed now, thresh them
from the pods with fail, and keep
dry until late March. Just before plant.
ing pour boiling water over the seeds,
and leave stand until the water Is
cold; then plant either where the tree
is to stand or in thick drills, where
they should be cultivated one year,
and then transplanted to their perma-
nent place. If sown in drills, SOW very
thick in a drill about four inches wide,
to prevent too great growth the first
year. AS soon as the Seeding is trans
planted cut the top off at the ground
to secure a vigorous shoot.
In good soil locusts will be twelve
to fifteen feet high when three years
old, and If cut at the ground will make
excellent tomato or vine stakes, and
the shoot from the root will make a
wonderful growth. Planted four by
four feet, fence post size is reached In
ten years or less, and the plantation
is continuously productive. A better
use for odd corners, steep lands, or
eroded lands hardly can be found.

MARKET. CONDITIONS
GOVERN BREEDING
(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee)

University of Tennessee)
When meats are high there is big
demand for the corresponding pure
bred stock. Breeders get more money
because the meat value of their ami
mails makes them Independent of the
cheap customer and because the de-
mand is sufficient to take all their
stock at good figures. When meats
are low the demand for purebred stock
falls off and breeders are compelled
to sell for less than when slaughter
stock is commanding good prices.
Therefore, when the meat market
is low, when the demand is least TO-
breeding stock, that is the best time tc
invest in purebred stock.
Just now hogs are cheap and breed
ers have a surplus for sale at reasona
BILE prices. Now is the time to stock

UNNECESSARY HANDICAPS
IN SWINE GROWING
(By C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)

by G. D. Lowe, Division OF Extension,
University of Tennessee.)
Parasites, both internal and exter-
nal, exert a marked influence on the
profits in hog raising. They not only
drain heavily on the vitality of the
animal by drawing their food supply
therefrom, but no doubt act as car
riers of some of the infectious dis
eases. The breeder who disregards in
festation with lice or worms, will not
enjoy the returns otherwise due him,
even where his feeding and breeding
details are carefully supervised.
1t is surprising how little attention
is necessary, to practically guarantee
freedom from these profit destroyers.
Lice may be controlled by the exer
cising of two simple preventives, as
follows: First, the systematic and
regular disinfection of the sleeping
quarters, by spraying with an efficient
material, such as crude carbolic acid

luton Is lbs to so gallons). Fences
and other uprights may be white-Wash-
ed occasionally. Second, the placing
of a few solid posts about the lot or
pasture, about which should be Sc
curely wrapped several layers of old
burlap or other coarse material. This
burlap should be regularly saturated
with crude black oil, providing a rub
bling post, from which the hogs can
get thorough application of the oil.
Against internal parasites, of which
the long round worm is the most COM
mon, protection may be had by giving
the hogs free access to the following
mixture:

"WHO GOT THE MONEY"
Not the Produce Dealer, But the
Business Farmer.
BY VIM, A. Schoenfeld, Division of
Extension, U. of To

(By VIM, A, Schoenfeld, Division OF
Extension, U. of To
When your Irish potato crop is sold,
and you compare the price received
from your local merchant or dealer In
farm produce with that paid by the
consumer, you naturally wonder where
the difference in price went to-; in 9TH
er words, Who Got the Money!" You
J can get some of this money by doing
as this farmer did.
Mr.. John Doe, who is a farmer near
Chattanooga, Tennessee, got a nice
portion of the difference just mention-I
! ed by grading his four hundred bushell
! potato crop before he offered it forl
sale. At the time he marketed hisl
crop, ungraded potatoes were selling
for tifty-tive cents, graded for seventy
five, and culls for forty-fiye cents q
bushel in Chattanooga. Ungraded POI
tatoes are usually field run stock"
Graded potatoes are medium in size,
smooth, clean and free from scab.
Culls are the potatoes left after field
run stock has been graded.
Using the figures just given, what
did Mr.. Doe get for the extra trouble
of grading his potatoes? The grading,
by the way, was done on days when
field work was out of the question, be.
cause of bad weather, hence did not
interfere with crop production.
Four hundred bushels of field run"
potatoes were graded into BAT bushels
of good standard potatoes, and So
bushels of culls.
BAT bu. graded potatoes at 75c
per Du. ................. $GoV.GO
SO Blu. Gull potatoes at 45c per
Du. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. $3.50
Total price received for 400
Du. crop ......'.... $zo4.lV
Now, if Mr.. Doe had simply market
ed his potatoes in a field run" condi-
ton, l. e., ungraded, he would have re-
Ceived (400 bu. ungraded potatoes at
55c per BIZ, 1920.
This makes difference of $64.10 in
his favor.
Assuming that it took him three
days at one dollar day, then three
days labor sorting potatoes at 81 per
day, 49,
If the gross profit for grading
was ................... $64.1O
And the labor charge .......... 800
Then the net profit ......... $61.10
If Mr.. Doe had not sorted these po-
tatoes, then he would have received
$64.10 less for his crop.
The question would then be, Who
got the money!" Either the consumer
would have paid less for the ungraded
potatoes or the dealer would have
graded the potatoes himself. In that
case the dealer would have made the I,
profit of $64.10.
There are lessons to be learned from /
Mr.. Does experience, namely:
l. He utilized idle hours on his farm
to his financial gain.
2. He earned a nice profit on his
marketing ability.
8. He learned that there we're other
ways in increasing farm profits with
out Increasing his crop yields.
4. He learned that the market Is
willing to pay literally for standard
lied farm products.

was most interesting and I'm

was too large for the auditori

a beautiful selection. Roy
Anderson sang I'll go where
you want me to go, dear Lord.
Six young men told their hear
experience as to how they haC
been led to cOnsecrate then
lives to some form of definite
work for Jesus Christ. The
speakers were as follows:
Frank Cody, who is the son
of a Presbyterian minister;W
B. Holmes, Jr., also a minister's
son; George Steelman, minis
ter's son; Joel S. Georges, who
comes from Urumiah, Persia,
where the Chistiaans were so
cruelty massacred about one
year ago; Ralph Young, a con-
verified Russian Jew, and Chest
er F. Leonard, who comes from
a business career and is giving
himself to social service work
even now in this community.
In the service one young lady
consecrated herself to some
definite form of work. There
were a large number of young
people who stood saying that
they had already made their
decision as to their life work,
that they were going to devote
their lives to definite work for
the Christ. Many parents
arose declaring their willing
ness to consecrate their child

should the Lord call them into
some definite Christian work.
