TWO TYPES or Sll.o

(By c. A Hutton, Division CT Exten-
sion, Uniyersity of Tenaessee.)
The two types Of silos best adapted
for use in Tennessee are the cheap,
temporary si!o built Of wood, and the
permanent type, or solid wall, concrete
silo. For a farmer who wishes a cheap
silo, there is nothing better than the
Tennessee wood-hoop type. This is
built OF 1"x4" fine flooring, which
should be 'of good quality heart
pine, free from knots and sap, match
ed, planned, and tongued and grooved.
The hoops are made OF 1a"x4" green
white oak, or green elm boards. They
should be bent around form and
made four-ply thick The 1"x4" stayes
are set upright inside OF these hoops.
This makes the cheapest and best
type of wood silo, and one Of the
easiest to build. The average cost Of
such a silo is s100 per ton capacity,
where all the material is purchased
and all the labor hired.
For permanent silo there is moth
Ing better nor cheaper for Tennessee
farmers than concrete. They can be
built for 2n average cost of $3.50 to
SS.00per ten capacity, and If properly
consrnnted vtll last inGefnitely. They
should be builr or gouu material, with
a solid wall, six inches thick, properly
reinforced, and made smooth and slick
on the inside.
If properly constructed, a concrete
silo win preserve siiage absolutely,
as well as any other kind of silo, and
should not cost any more than the
patented wood type. There is posi-
lively no excuse for Tennessee farm
er paying out his hard-earned money
for patented stave silo when he can
build one of concrete 'or positively tle
same cost, and which will last at leaet
q life time.

DAIRY BUSINESS LUCRATIVE
Many Farmers Are Turning Their At
tention 10 the Dairy Cow as a
Source of Ready Income and Soil
Improvement.
(By c. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By c. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten'
sion, University Of Tennessee)
Tennessee farmers are learning
more and more the necessity of di-
versified farming and the keeping of
more live stock on their farms. A
great many are turning their attention
to the dairy COW as a. source of ready
income and a means of soil improve
ment.
The general interest in dairying has
caused widespread interest in the
building of creameries over the state.
Especially Is this true in West Tenne5-
see, where the depressed cotton mar
kets are causing farmers to look for
something besides cotton for source
Of income. The prevailing idea in e
great many communities, if few
farmers should decide to get into the
dairy business, is that they should
build creamery. While well-man'
aged, successful creamery does afford
an excellent market for cream, yet
many dairymen IN this state have bet.
ter markets afforded them by city milk
plants and in cream plants, than most
creameries can ever hope TO afford.
The most essential requirement 70
q successful creamery is sufficient
supply Of cream The product from at
least four hundred COWS should be
available, and they should be located
within a radius Of not more than ten
miles Of the creamery, or shipping
-peint. In soma -communitiss- the roads
are in such poor condition that 1t is
s not practical to deliver cream during
: the winter.
"A great amount of excitement has
been created over the state by the
professional creamery promoter, whose
sole object is to sell a. creamery outfit.
These promoters get the confidence OF
the farmers and usually succeed in
selling a plant at about two prices
They have operated in all parts of the
state, and We have number Of ex
amples of creameries that have failed
as a result of their work. In Greene
county alone they built four cream
cries few years ago and not one oi
the plants was ever operated success.
fully.
Any community considering the
building of a creamery should first get
in touch with the State Agricultural
College rather than listen to the glow
ing stories of the creamery promoter
who is always working for a selfish
interest.

HURRY the SPRAYING
FOR San JOSE SCALE
(By C. A. Refer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By C. A. Refer, Division OF Exten.
sion. University of Tennessee.)
The month of March is the most ia.
vorable time for killing San Jose scale,
but the work Of spraying must be done
before the fruit blossoms open, as the
concentrated lime-sulphur solution,
which is the best scale remedy, is SO
strong that it will kill the bloom. 1t
can be used with perfect safety even
when the peach buds are pink, pro-
yided the flowers are not open.
Spray thoroughly. To reach every
part of the tree, it is best to prune
well before spraying, being especially
careful to head back the small limbs
that project beyond the general aver
age Of the crown.
If the trees are badly infested with
scale, they should be "dehorned," or
cut back very severely. Peach trees
may be headed back by cutting off
branches three inches or more in di-
Rmeter.
Keep the nozzle moving, reach
every part of the tree. The only scalo
insects that are killed are the ones
that are touched by the spray-their
food can moi, be poisoned. Spray until
The solution begins to drip from the
| limbs.
Before beginning the work put on
old clothes. cover the face and neck
with vaselino, wear goggles to protect
the eyes, and gloves soaked in oil to
protect the hands. Cover the horses
with burlsp.

SPRAY THE TREES

sion, University of Tennessee.)
Begin to spray the fruit trees with
in ten days after the fall of the
bloom. In the winter and before
the buds burst In spring is the
time to spray for scale insects; suck
as tha oyster shell and the San Jose
scale. April is the time to make the
first spraying for c0dling moth and
curculio, for fruit scab, blotch, and
rot. Cooling moth is the worm that
gets into apples; curculio is the peach
and plum worm. These insects can
best be controlled by spraying thor
oughly with arsenate of lead, using
two to three pounds to the barrel, and
applying with strong force, so that
the spray will be forced into the
blossom end of the little apple, and
among the hairs of the peach.
The rots. scabs, and other fungus
diseases OF orchard fruit can be kept
in check by spraying with self-boiled
liTe-sulphur solution. For small
orchards it is cheapest and most con-
venient to buy the prepared lime-sul-
phur solution, which is sold by drug
and hardware stores. II should be d.
luted, one and one-half gallons to so
gallons of water for apples and plums;
one gallon to go gallons for peaches.
The arsenate of lead can be added to
the solution, thus making "a combined
remedy for insects and diseases. Spray
thoroughly, covering the entire tree
until it drips slightly. There is Bound
to be some waste, bat little practice
makes one skillful in handling spray
ing outfit, Spray at intervals of a
month, making the last application
about month before tie fruit is
ready to pick. Use arsenate OF lead
oaly in the first spray after the bloom
fails.
In spraying With lime-sulphur solu-
ton, care should he taken to protect
hands, fac3, and neck from the spray
by the uee CT vasoline. Goggles should
be worn to protect the eyes, Gloves
can be water prooced by dipping them
in boiled linsced OIL, or rubber gloves
can be wol. The lime-sulphCc solu-
ton Is very caustic, and the sores
caused by 1t are painful and difficult

There is a growing practice in Ten

points to recommend it. 1t increases
the legumes on the farm without ap-
2arently decreasing the corn yield
very much. except in dry seasons. 1t
furnishes the best OF green forage for
hogs Ia cases where the corn is hog
ged of. or ff' the corn is gathered by
hand, .he beans may then be harvest
ed by hogs after they have shattered
to the ground and softened. They are
sometimes gathered by hand for seed
purposes.
Beans are better for this purpose on
rich land han peas, because they do
not cause the corn to lodge. They
may be rlsilted earlier, at the same
time the cc-n is planted. which would
not always. be possible with peas. On
the other hand, they may be planted
later and yet produce higher. yield

There Is fish equipped with bifocal
eyes. one-half of the lens for seeing
above the surface of the water and the
other for submarine use. This char
acteristic also gives the fish its popu-
lar name-double eyes.
The fish inhabits the shores of South
America. Sometimes they swim with
the eyes half out of water Examina-
ton shows that each lens is divided
into two parts by a dark band The
half above the band is out of water
and the other half below the surface.
Naturalists tell us that the fiSh's eyes
became double from its practice I'm
swimming with them half submerged.
Nature made the part of the eye above
water adapted for seeing in the air
while the other part remained adapted
for vision under water.
The double eyes grow to about Il
foot in length and in Brazil are caught
