RICHEST COW IN THE WORLD

Now that a majority of the milk
markets are buying their supply on
the butter-fat basis, it is with more
than apassing interest that we note
the Register of Merit record of the
Jersey cow Merry Maiden of Innes-
fells 307454, owned by DR.. j. F.
Thompson, of Portland, Maine.
The milk of Merry Maiden averag-
ed 8.13 per cent fat for 366 days.
This is the worlds highest butter-fat
average for a years record. Her low
est monthly test was 7.13 per cent,
made in the sixth month of her test,
and he highest was 1906 per cent,
made in the twelfth month. The high
est percentage of fat for a single
milking was HOO per cent.
Merry Maiden started test at four
years four months of age, under the
supervision of the Maine Agricultural
college.
The final results show that she
produced 560.4 pounds Of fat or $50
pounds IS per cent butter from
6,896.5 pounds of milk.

tinued health you know that you must
return those elements to the soil in
some other form.
1t is a wonderful story of nature
that teaches US that there is no loss
in power and no loss in the material
world. There is simply transforma-
ton. A lump of coal is a store house
of power. We burn it but we do not
destroy it; we make heat of it, and
steam, and other force; and so there
is only a transformation and not a
destruction, and it goes on it's endless
circle around the world and through
all time.
SO in regard to the seed you plant;
it is not lost. 1t decays, it calls into
action other natural forces, it revives,
it multiplies, it grows from forces it
abstracts from the air, and one seed
has mighty generation of descend
ants. 1t is a transformation, a new
amalgamation of natures forces, that
gives you crop of cotton, crop of
wheat, a crop Of corn, and the cattle
upon a thousand hills.
You must then save the waste on
your farm and you must mix it with
certain chemicals called fertilizer,
and you must restore to the farm,
before the next seasons planting,
those forces that you have distracted
by this seasons harvest.
That is what makes the fertilizer
question a question of first import
ance. Study it in the letters that you
see from time to time in Home and
Farm, then study it in the books, then
investigate it, applying to the Super
in tendent of the Experiment Station
in your own state, or to your County
Agent.

REPORT ON STRAWBERRY
CROP is AVAILABLE

Special reports on the strawberry
market are available for any who
grow or sell Strawberries. This has
been brought by the organization of
a nationwide service with headquar-
ters at Washington, D. C.
Last year the office of markets
of the United States Department of
Agriculture commenced the plan of
ascertaining, for those who desired
to know, the movements of certain
staple crops at harvest time. This
year the service is being extended on
account of the success of last years
work.
The office of Markets collects
from all points in the United States
reports of the movement of crops.
These reports are received by wire at
Washington and Immediately tabulat-
ed. The complete summary, put in
disable form by experts at headquart-
ers, is telegraphed to certain local
stations and from there sent out to
individuals. Only those facts that ap-
ply to the particular section of the
country being covered will be sent out
in this way person is not burdened
with unnecessary figures. The proper
use of this service will enable the pro-
ducers to get the greatest possible
returns for their berries.
From the local centers reports will
be sent in both Geographic and mail
form. The mail service will be sup
piled for the asking. The telegraphic
service, which brings the news to the
producer as quickly as possible, costs
the recipient the telegraphic charges
only.
The center of operation in East
Tennessee is Chattanooga. There the
United State Weather Bureau will
maintain a mailing list. Those who
write to the Chattanooga Weather
Bureau will be placed on the mailing
list to receive these market reports
for the season.
In West Tennessee a similar office
has been opened at Humboldt, where
strawberry interest is intense. This
office is directed by MN. A. Schoen-
field, Specialist in Marketing, Divi-
sion of Extension University of Tenn.
The fact that such market oppor-
tunities are available to the farmers
of Tennessee is quite pleasing to citi-
zens of the State for it indicates the

STUDY YOUR SOIL.

Home and Farm has said many
times, and it will repeat many times
that the savings bank of the farmer is
his soil. The nature of it the most
learned men of science are not able
fully to define; but from it the far
mer most draw all of his wealth; from
it he must draw a support for this
year. He must draw a return for his
labor that will enable him to lay up
something for next year, and upon
which, after many years, he must rely
for support in old age.
1t is of the utmost Importance,
therefore, that your soil should be
put in the best condition; that it
should be properly fed; that it should
be properly cared for; that is, plowed
and broken up andcultivated, if you
want to get the best results from your
labor.
As you are drawing out of the soil
certain elements essential to its con-

PASTORS ARE ORGANIZED;
DR.. SCHUYLER, PRESIDENT

Monday afternoon the pastors of
the city met at the Presbyterian
Church and recognized the Pastors
Association of the city of Maryville.
The Rev. T. C. Schiller was elected
President, and the Rev. W. F. Pitts,
Secretary. 1t was decided to hold the
meetings every Monday night at the
M. E. Church, South, from z to 8
o'clock. 1t was voted to include in the
Association all the active pastors and
other ministers living in the city. The
object of the Association is to keep
all the churches and ministers in close
touch with each other and unite
their efforts and influence in all mat
tiers pertaining to the Community
welfare. 1t is likely, although not
definitely decided yet by the pastors,
that during the hot months the servic-
es on Sunday nights will be discon-
tinued in the churches, and all unite

the choirs join to furnish the music
and the pastors take it time about in
preaching. 1t is thought that more
people may be reached and more good
done than any other way for the sum-
mer. 1t was the united opinion of the
pastors that they and the churches,
together with the school and college
authorities should urge a more strict
observance of the Sabbath against in
coming influences to the contrary,
and a general habit of church going.
While more people attend church in
Maryville, it is believed, than in any
city it's size, still there are many who
do not attend and church, and
strong effort will be put forth to get
everybody to attend church at least |
twice on Sundays that is, morning |
and night.
