ears OF corn with him. He had hoped
for q big crowd, but the weather was
very bad and only fifteen came. Every
one brought ten ears Of corn. and they
al studied corn together. First the
agent gave a talk on seed corn, and
on varieties Of corn, in which he ex-
planned that every variety had us own
characteristics, and all the ears OF
variety should approximate the stand

rows OF corn on the cob, color, shape

BREED TO FREsHEN IN FALL
(By H. c. Stockwell. Division Of Elk
tension, University Of Tennessee.)

(By H. c. Stockwell. Division Of Elk
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 Inn
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 ofmilk 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 of, 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
quality Of the milk produced,
During the winter months when the
J other farm work is slack labor is much
cheaper and more easily obtained for
the dairy than during the summer
months. When a 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 10 plentiful and in the fall
when 1t is wesned 1t must be fed on
dry feeds. A calf handled in this way
will not get the growth nor will 1t b
the producer when freshening that the
calf will that is handled under proper
conditions.

NEWS NOTES.

Excavating gangs working in New
York recently unearthed a number OF
huts that were built before the revolu-
tionary war. Upon further investiga-
ton old relics, including English and
.Hessian coins, were found in the ruins,
showing that they had sheltered some
of Gen. Hows's troopers when he held
the city.
Instead Of shipping pearls to New
York through London and Paris mar
kets, as was the custom before the war
Bombay pearl merchants are now
sending them direct to New York.
There is virtually now no call for
pearls in Europe now but in the Unit
ed States the demand is steadily in
creasing, customs officials say. This is
the principal reason why merchants
are anxious to establish direct mar
kets in this country.
While digging cellar near Oregon
City, Ore, workmen struck into a bed
of hard clay that proved to be the bur

The skeletons were laid out like spokes

the bones lead to the belief that the
Indians were slain in battle.
Secretary Lane estimates that there

CLAUDE MABEAN DEZERN

Claude Mabean Dezern, Oldest and
only living son Of James G. and Jo-
sephine Dezern, was called to his re-
ward on high May 3, 1916
Claude was born August "a, 1878,
being nearly 3S years old. Claude had
been a member Of Chestnut Grove
church about fifteen years and al
though he never made any big out
ward show. yet all who came in con-
tact with him fully realized his relig-
ious influences. Claude was Of a sunny
cheerful disposition, always looking on
the bright side Of everything, and was
the same everywhere you met him,
whether at home or abroad He was a
great favorite with the children, espe-
cially with his little nieces who would
tell what ounce Claud" had done for
them. Claud lived near his father, and
it never rained too hard nor the wea-
Their was never too cold for him to 60
to see his father and mother every
day.
Caude was married thirteen years
ago to Miss Mabel Moody, and to this
union two children were born, girl
and boy, aged respectively ~ and 5
years. He is survived BY his widow,
two children, father, mother, and three
sisters. One brother and two sisters
preceded him to the grave several
years ago. Claude was sick only a
few days and his death was quite a
surprise to his many friends; and while
we miss him so much, and it seemed
so hard to give him up, yet we know
he is at rest. While we see the vacant
place that can never be filed, yet we
see and feel the good influence he left
behind.
Claude was Inferred In Chestnut
Grove cemetery, funeral services be-
ing conducted by Rev. B. ]. Russell
