SPARKS FROM THE WIRES

Tuskegee.-The 18th annual negro farmers conference began at the Tus- kegee institute here today. This con ference was organized and instituted by the late Booker T. Washington 25 years ago today and today's session was much in the nature of a memorial to him and his work. Three thousand attendants were cared for and given instructions under the leadership of Acting Principal Warren Logan and Secretary Emmet J. Scott.

Road Dragging Time.

Few farm tasks bring more
pleasure than dragging roads,
both to him who drags and to
him who enjoys a ride over a
well-dragged road. 1t is a little
hard on the horses ahead of the
drag on a hot day but an occa-
sional rest helps them out.
There is every opportunity to
get good results from road drag
ging now. The weather is like
ly to remain reasonably well-set-
tied and people have time both
to drag and to use the roads.
Chautauquas are about over,
but county fairs, picnics, out
ings, and many similar festivi-
ties are made more enjoyable
by the liberal use of the drag.
Coal, building material, and sup
plies of all kinds can be hauled
from town in much larger loads
and in fewer trips if everyone
along the road has done his
share of the good work.
A well-dragged road in front
of the farm is a great ~satisfact-
ion to the owner but why not
give him the additional salts
faction of letting him know that
you appreciate what he has
done as you drive by? Why not
tell him what you think and help
establish a prize for the best
dragged piece of road? There
are few ways in which a little
money will bring bigger results
in road work than in stimulat-
ing friendly rivalry among the
workers. A careful use of the

BUTTERMILK
Better and Cleaner Than Old
Fashioned Product.

The term buttermilk, has for
many years been applied to the
product left after churning milk
or cream, and abstracting the
butter. In the few years a new
kind of buttermilk has been
placed on the market which is
rapidly d~isplacing the old-fash-
Toned, homemade product. Some
prejudice exists against this
manufactured buttermilk, but,
according to DR.. M. P. Ravenel
of the preventative medicine
department of the University Of
Missouri, it is really cleaner, has
a better taste and is a more suit
able for food purposes than the
old product.
Butter manufacturers do not
depend on the accidental souring
of milk as much as formerly,
says DR.. Revenel, but are using
pure culture starters" as they
are called. So in manufacturing
buttermilk, a known germ is adj
ded to skinned milk, and an arti-
fetal buttermilk is produced.
Slightly different methods ex-
lists, but this receipt represents
the newer product, and win
show people what they are
drinking when they take the
manufactured buttermilk. One
gallon of whole milk is added to
twenty gallons Of skinned milk
as soon as it has been separated.
This is not necessary, but is
done because most people like to
see some signs of butter fat in
buttermilk. Starter" is added,
and the whole quantity of milk
is kept at 70 degrees F. for six
or seven hours, when it will be
found to have curdled. It is then
churned for one-half hour, and
should be bottled at once and
cooled to so degrees or below to
prevent the further develop
ment Of acid and separation of
the whey. 1t is finally strained
through cheese cloth to remove
any course Jumps. 1t is a re-
freshing and tasteful drink with
high food value, and as a sum-
mer drink is especially good for
both children and adults.

FILLING THE SILO
Dry Years Bring Special Prob
lens but Make SilOs More
Necessary.

~ANNNNbb0A
No rule can be laid down for
filling the silo during a year Of
short rainfall, says c. H. Eckles
of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture. When the corn natures
normally the time to put it in
the silo is when the kernels are
dented and glazed but the ker-
mel still soft enough so it may be
broken with the thumb nail. At
this time the husks will gener-
ally be turned yellow at the end
of the ear. Corn may be put in
after it is almost dry if enough
water is added.
Where corn is injured by the
drouth it should be allowed to
stand as long as there is any
hope at all of its getting rain
to complete its growth. If it be-
gins to die it should be put in
the silo, as by this means what
feed value it contains will be
saved. If it cannot be put into
the silo just then it may be
shocked and put in later, as
tests at the Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station have
shown that shock corn makes
good silage. Of course, it is not
as good as that made at the US
ual time.
When filling the silo, remem-
Der that silage spoils if too dry
or the air is not expelled by
thorough tramping. The tenden-
cy Of late years has been to put
corn in the silo too dry. 1t
should be moist enough to wet
the feet of the men who tramp
it. If too dry, add water by run
ming it into the blower. At least
two men are needed to tramp the
silage at filling.
Special attention should be
given to packing well around the
edges. If the walls of the silc
are not in good condition repairs
should be made to keep out the
air. If the doors do not fit wei

, of tarred paper over the door

tend about two feet on each side

Are You Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough
without inviting it. Some look
old at forty. That is because they
neglect the liver and bowels.
Keep your bowels regular and
your liver healthy and you will

younger. When troubled with
constipation or biliousness take
Chamberlain's Tablets. They are
intended especially for these all
ments and are excellent. Easy
to take and most agreeable in
effect. Obtainable everywhere.
