Chattanooga District Fair.

Hundreds of persons in this section
who attended the Chattanooga District
Fair last year will be interested in
knowing that the plans for the 1910
show surpass in every feature those OF
last year.
The Chattanooga association is offer
ing almost $1,000 in premiums for agri.
culture and live stock this year, and If
a part Of Shis money is not won by the
people of this territory it will be be-
cause they fail to send exhibits.
Perhaps the most important new fca-
ture for the fair this year will be the
races.
One thousand dollars will be given
in race purses each day, and it is eX-
pectcd that these liberal amounts will
result in the finest program OF harness
and running races ever held in this
section of the south.
The city OF Chattanooga has erected
u handsome new exhibit building on
the fair grounds. and many other i'm
provemeutS are being made. AltOgetu-
er, the plans for the fair are decided v
the most ambitious ever undertaken in
this part of the south, and 1t is expect
ed that a large number will attend from
this section.
Special rates viii prevail on the rail-
roads and everything possible Will be
arranged for the comfort and pl, asurc

Observations made over this state
Indicate that our live stock shelters
are largely of the two cXtremes-that
is, none at all, or too costly character.
Of course the latter class are few in
number.
Somehow most of us have had the
idea that because we lived in Sunny
Tennessee. our live stock needed no
shelter and that such things were for
the up-north stOckman. Never were
we more mistaken.
The prime necessity for live stock
shelter is not so much for protection
against extreme cold. as many believe,
as against cold rains, sleet and soft
SHOWS. Sufficient feed of the proper
constituency together with heavy win
ter hair-cOatS of animals offer enough
resistance to mere dry cold in any
temperate climate.
Our winter rains, sheets. etc, are
heavier and more frequent than in
many sections of the North. There
fore, we do need the proper kind of
shelters, more, even, than many north
ern locations.
However, the protection needed is in
expensive. Anything that provides
waterproof overhead covering and
breaks side-drafts is sufficient. Such
conVeniences may be found in mere
open sheds with roof, and one side and
one end boarded up, leaving southern
exposure open. Such structures need
date the stock while eating their feed.
1t is also necessary to give some at
tention to the conservation OF the
manure. Retaining walls of concrete
or even solid concrete floors in feed
lots are often advisable.
Tight barns or poorly ventilated
barns are perhaps worse than none,
since it is now evident in many places
that such structures have become sim
ply incubators for diseases as tuber-
culosis.
Good barns will make surer the
health Of the animals.

DEATH OF PHILIP A. BUTLER

The news of the death of Prof. Philip
A. Butler, who died at his home in
Merrimacport, Mass, Friday of the
past week, is received with extreme re-
greet by his many friends in this city,
where for the past two wears he had
passed the winter months with his
brother-in-law, Hon. Woodbury. l..
Melcher. 1t was a source of pleasure to
those who had become directly in touch
with his genial and kindly nature that
he had recently found the Lake City a
haven of enjoyment and interest for
the winter months and his coming this
year, was looked forward with pleasant
anticipation by his friends when re-
newal of these associations could be
continued. His death at the advanced
age OF 81 years and three months came
then as a surprise, as he seemed
to be in robust health when he
went away last spring. His activity of
mind and body led one to think him Il
much younger man, with many more
years to live. He was born near his
former homo in Auburndaie, which he
sold early in the season and went from
here to his new home in Merrimacport,
Mass, whore he expected to reside
permanently. He began life as a house
decorator and had worked in early life
in this city and at Portsmouth, and for
a time resided there. His first work in
LaCOnia was the interior decoration of
the old North church, which he freScoed.
Later he did similar work upon the
interior Of the Free Baptist church. He
afterwards became known turnout the
country as landscape and portrait
painter in which he attained eminence,
specimens Of his art being received in
many of the academies and studios of
the country. Wherever he happened
to be he always endravored to secure a
good picture and the writer was much
interested in visit to his studio here,
where he was shown many views, done
in oils and water colors, that We're in
deed beautiful and suggestive of the
extensive travels that Prof. Butler had
taken. He was man of high cultiva-
ton and taste ~ an artist and also of
broad literary attainmcnts. He is sur
vived by his wife, Rebecca +. Melcher
Of this city. The funeral was held yes
terday from the Auburndale Episcopal
church. Laconia, New Hampshire,
News and Critic.
The above conveys the sad intelli-
genCe of the death of Philip A. Butler,
man held in highest esteem in this
town by the few people yet remaining
here who were acquainted with him.
He visited here two winters, and made
many friends. He was an artist of a.
bility and his sketches and paintings
brought pleasure to many. We have
IN our pOSSaGSiOD an ayppllpnt water
color Of the interior of the Francis home
in Dixon Cove, which we prize highly.
He was an extremely pleasant gontle
man, always in good spirits, and it was
enjoyment to be in his company. In
letter to the writer about year ago be
said he was still painting, which was
remarkable achievement for man Of
his advanced years

LIGHTWEIGHT HOGS
ARE BEST SELLERS
A Study of Markets and Hogs Reveals
Many interesting Facts.
(By II. 4. Potter, Division Of Exten-

(By Fl. 4. Potter Division Of EXten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
What is a hogs time WORTH" is a
question the practical joker gets off
frequently. There is a practical an
swer the joker never thinks Of A
hogs time is worth what the feeder
makes it worth.
Up to a weight of $50 pounds most
hogs are fed probably. After that
there is loss. The market demands
the lightweight hog A buyer pays S
cents for a 250-pound hog while he
pays only Ga for a 40Opound hog.
The hogs time between the weight Of
$50 and 400 is worth Watching,
The large. the hog the more feed
it takes to maintain him. When the
hog weighs so pounds, is cut OF every
100 pounds feed are required to keen
him alive. The 50 pounds feed goes
to make flesh. When he weighs 200
pounds it takes So pounds feed to
maintain the animal. Only 81 pounds
feed is left to make weight This ra-
ito keeps on narrowing until, when
the hos weighs $50 pounds, it takes
535 pounds feed to produce leo pounds
gain. The feeder would make more to
sell the animal at 250 than to keep
him and sell him at 400.
A hogs time before 25O pounds is
worth something to the farmer; after
$50 pounds it is a loss. 1t might be
loss even if the market were not so
discriminating, but with prices placed
as they are there is bound to be a
loss.
