MARKET CONDITIONS
GOVERN BREEDING

tBy G. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)
When meats are high there is big
demand for the corresponding pure
bred stock. Breeders get more money
because the meat value of their ami
mails makes them independent of the
cheap customer and because the de-
mand is sufficient to take all their
stock at good figures. When meats
are low the demand for purebred stock
falls off and breeders are compelled
to sell for less than when slaughter
stock is commanding good prices.
Therefore, when the meat market
is low, when the demand is least for
breeding stock, that is the best time to
invest in purebred stock.
Just now hogs are cheap and breed
ers have a surplus for sale at reasona-
BILE prices, Now is the time to stock
Up on purebred hogs Do not wait I'M
til everybody wants them. Get them
now and be ready with surplus of
your own for the time when everybody
wants them. That time Is coming just
as surely as it has come In the past.

The first thing to do to a wet soil Il
TO drain it. Suitable tillage is prac
tically impossible upon it. It may be
sour, but lime is ineffective; it may
need fertilizers, but 1t makes poor use
OF them, until surplus water is re
moved. Even stable manure is par
TALLY lost upon such soils. It may be
naturally rich--indeed 1t often is-but
Its fertility is unavailable until air ID
permitted to enter It at. all seasons.
Drainage gives areation. Water
must be removed before air can enter.
Free circulation Of air is necessary
before soil bacteria can engage In the
processes Of decay which result in the
liberation Of plant food. Another re-
quirement Of bacteria and other crops
is heat. Surplus soil water is always
accompanied by decrease in temper
azure. The SUMS rays are used In
evaporatio-- Of water rather than in
warming the soil. Drainage is the
remedy.
The low lands are usually the wetter
lands. They are also usually richer in
total plant food, especially nitrogen,
and yet they are often less productive
than the uplands because their plant
bod is unavailable. Many low lands
are used as meadows and pastures
continuously because they are too wet
for cultivation. The hill lands are
placed under the plow and ruinous
washing results.
If the low lands were tiled, they
could be used for cultivated crops.
The pastures and meadows could be
moved to the sleeper lands to prevent
their washing. Even on the higher
lands there are wet areas which
should be tiled.
Wet land Is expensive always. 1t is
costly to lay underground tile, but it
pays in the long run. It is the most \
satisfactory method Of drainage. Open
1itches are inefficient and in the way

provement Of wet soils is wasted until

incubation catches" much more
easily upon the roots of young alfalfa
plants than upon old ones. With age
they seem to develop resisting power
toward the tiny germ. AT any rate.
It is very difficult to inoculate old
alfalfa. 1t is doubtful If it can become
completely infected If the germ is alb.
sent at the time Of termination.
The practical application of the fact
simply means that greater care should
be taken to supply inoculating material
IN the early stages Of growth, and to
supply It generously. Instead Of 200
pounds Of infected dirt, It would Il.
ways be eafer to use 900 Or even 400
pounds: More would not hurt, where
II can be- easily obtained, as is often
the case. Dirt Is cheap and inocu
lation essential.

The Corn Club boys Of Tennessee
are teaching their fathers how to grow
big crops. Mr.. W. s. Young, Of Giles
county, has asked County Agent Love
for q twenty-acre corn demonstration
this year. and has already plowed the
field, which was put in red clover last
year, according to the Boys Corn
Club rules. Last year Mr.. Young's
SON made 60 bushels OF corn on his
club acre, In spite OF heavy damage by
wind storm, and that was SO much
better than any crop his father had
grown on the land that the father pro-
poses to follow the methods used by
the BOY.

a GREAT TENNESSEE ORCHARD.

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Elk
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
AT Lansing, Morgan county, there
has been planted during the past three
years an orchard covering Ace acres OF
land, and the planting is only begun.
Thousands of peach trees came into
bearing this year, the owners estimat-S
ing the crop at one-half bushel per
tree.
The trees. are vigorous, with rich,
dark green foliage and an abundance
of new wood for next years crop. The
young apple trees could not look more
promising. The whole orchard shows
intelligent care: good pruning. has
been done, giving to each tree strong
skeleton. Part of the orchard is In
cowpeas, to be plowed under as fer
tilizer; and hundred acres is in
strawberries which have been well
cultivated This is a commercial or
chard in which no shares are for sale;
and there is not an enterprise of great
er promise in the South.

VALUE OF HERD RECORDS
(By H. G. Stockwell, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee

(By H. G. Stockwell, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)
It has been demonstrated through
testing associations, by individual rec
0rds, and by the breed associations
that systematic system Of milk and
butterfat records, and also a record OF
the feed consumed by, each individual
COW, is the only method Of running a
dairy on a business and profitable ba-
sis. 1t is impossible to breed up a
herd of profitable cows without this
system of checking each cows per-
formance by what she actually does at
the pail.
When starting to keep herd records,
q record sheet should be procured and
placed on the wall Of the barn in the
most handy place. Then pair of
scales should be purchased and hung
to one side of the record sheet. After
milking each COW, the milk should be
weighed and the weight recorded on
the record sheet for future use.
At the end of each month sample
of each cows milk should be taken
and tested for butterfat, and from
these records the total amount of milk
and butterfat can be calculated.
The record is not complete unless
the amount and cost of feed, which
each COW consumes, is known. The
feed should be weighed or measured,
and, if the latter method is used, the
weight Of feed which the measure con
tains should be known.
With the record of production and
the amount and cost of feed consumed,
It is easy to detect and eliminate the
cows in the herd
After detecting Improbable cows in
the herd, they should be sold to the
butcher and replaced by profitable
COWS, and records kept the same as
N the original herd.

(By Chas. A. Keffer, Division OF Elk

The United States Department OF
agriculture is making a vigorous cam.
palgn for diversified farming in the
south. The Southern farmer is told
to grow his own meat, and the grain
and hay to feed it, to make his own
butter, and plant a garden The won
DER Is that this advice should be nee.
essary.
TO buy meat and butter and vege.
tables while operating farm would
seem contradiction; but the fact re-
mains that even in Tennessee many
farmers buy meat and eggs, dairy sup
plies, vegetables and fruit, or their
families go without these necessities
The garden should be big asset on
every farm and in every town lot; not
big In size, but in profit. The success
fui garden is a striking example OF
intensive effort. 1t should be small.
. heavily fertilized, constantly worked.
In every small town In Tennessee
there are excellent gardens, whose
owners are as jealous of their reputa-
ions as gardeners as If they were so
many grand opera singers. It is an
achievement to produce the first peas,
or the earliest potatoes or the largest
tomato. 1t is a pleasure to send
basket of vegetables to friend. and
satisfaction to have constant sup
ply OF fresh garden stuff for the table.
Here in Tennessee the GARDEN is
place for work during at least nine
months in the year 1t should be plow-
ed or spaded in the fall, and heavy
coat OF manure should be turned deep
into the soil. Manure is plant food.
and great regulator of soil moisture.
1t is almost impossible to give a plant |
indigestion by an oversupply of food,
where the moisture condition is right.
Manure heavily. Pillow or spade deep
ly. Make the soil fine all the way
down before planting. And keep the
garden well cultivated after 1t il
planted.

! There are four principal breeds Of
dairy cattle, each differing from the
other in certain qualities, but still re.
sembling all of the others in some
characteristics. The four dairy breeds
are the Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein and
Ayrshire. While the general character
istics Of all the breeds are similar in
that they have all been bred for gen.
erations for the specific purpose of the
production Of dairy products, yet each
breed possesses certain qualities
which makes it most suited for cer-
tain conditions than the other breeds.
The Jersey.
This is one of the oldest and best
known of the dairy breeds. It's home
is on the little island Of Jersey in the
English Channel, where the breed has
been kept pure for centuries. Animals
of this breed are rather small and
early maturing. Their chief quality is
the production of butterfat. 1t is a
well established fact that the Jersey
is the most economical producer OF
butterfat of all breeds.
The Guernsey.
This breed originated on the island
bearing the, same name, and lying
near Jersey isle. The breed character
istics are very similar to those of the
Jersey except that the animals are a. 4
little larger, rougher, and will con-
sumo more rough feed. They will usu- (
ally produce a little more milk than
the Jersey, but the production of but (
terfat Is practically the same.
The foIstein.
The Holstein originated In Holland
and Friesland, is very large and rough,
large amounts Of rough
feed, and is without an equal for milk
production.
The Ayshire.'
Originated in Ayr, Scotland. A large
breed, very symmetrical and has the
deal dairy type. Gives good flow OF
milk, fairly rich in butterfat, and es-
oecially adapted for cheese making.
General Recommendations.
For the production of butterfat or
,ream there is no breed SO well suited
or Tennessee conditions as the Jersey.
There are plenty Of good animals of
his breed that can be bought cheaply
n Tennessee. For the production Of
market milk the Holstein is by far the
most economical. Some markets dis ,
riminate against Holstein milk on &C
cunt Of the low percentage of butter
at, but this criticism is unjust, since J
Iolstein milk really contains as much !
old food matter as does Jersey milk. ,
'uernseys, Holsteins and Ayshires are :
II very high priced in Tennessee as J
with Jerseys, and for butter
At production the average Tennessee !
airy farmer can not do better than to
eep the Jersey.
While the Holstein breed will proba- y
ly average as high a yield of butter !
It as will the Jersey, due to the large !,
mount of milk produced, which !,
lakes up for the low test, yet where !
ltterfat is the principal product mar
eted, Tennessee dairymen will do !

ord was received by representa-

company, on the ground at Carrara
that the Tonopah Belmont company
would commence operations on the
Bull Moose ground under the terms
of their deal with the Bull Moose
company, the details of which have
not been made public, says the
Obelisk.
According to unverified rumor,
the contract between the companies
calls for the general development
of the Bull Moose mine, Belmont
Folding an option on a controlling
interest in the property. If this is
true. and there seems to be some
ground for the superstition, it GER
tainly looks like a bright future for
Bull Moose ground which, in the
last three years, has run the gamut
of the successful mines from UNI
completed sales to litigation the
last of which was cleared from the
boards within the past two months.

occasions. once during the past sum-

Belmont field engineers, and. during
the past month Belmont's field en-
gineers were in the camp running
out the lines and otherwise "pick-
ing up the loose ends" At this
time. general preparations were made
operations, which lead to much
rumor and conjecture concerning the
ultimate outcome of negotions.

TONOPAH UNION
MAY QUIT WIN.
ARE Dissatisfied WITH
THE ORGANIZATION

Considerable interest is being
taken in the report that the Tono-
pah Miners union may withdraw
from the Western Federation of
Miners. This action, it is stated by
members of the local union, is
proposed on account if the heavy
assessments levied by the WIN.
and general dissatisfaction over the
way the general offices are said to
be conducted. At Phoenix, Ariz.,
the local union has agreed to with
draw from the Western Federation,
and this move is contemplated by
unions in other western mining
camps.
William Mitchell, secretary of the
Tonopah Miners union. strongly ia
vors the withdrawal of the local
union and the establishment of an
Independent union. To a Times re-
porter he had the following to say
in this connection:
"The question of withdrawing
from the Western Federation of
Miners and organizing an indepen-
dent union of the miners of this
camp, will, in all probability, come
up for definite action at the next
meeting of the Tonopah Miners
union.
"Such action would have been
taken on the matter at the last
meeting, but for the fact that GER
tain minor constitutional provisions
would have been ignored.
THE question, when brought up
before the members present, pro-
voked considerable discussion, and
the debates pro and con showed
that the members considered this
step to be a very important one.
and a step that the union must
take, if it would hope to regain
the support of many starnch union
men who left the organization sim
ply because they were dissatisfied
with the geenral officers of the
Western Federation and the assess
ments levied by the executive
board."-Tonopah Times.

TEACHER PERMITTED TO
HOLD HIS OWN OPINION

LONDON, Dec. so. - A victory
for liberty of thought was achieved
when the Stafford council, by a
three-to-one majority, refused to
countenance an attack made on a
teacher in the technical school, nam
ed Hudson. 1t was held that the
teachers private views did not in
the least interfere with the efficient
discharge of his duties. even II his
views, as an extreme pacificist, were
unpopular.
"If he were a flat-earther." COM
ments the Manchester Guardian,
1--WE could understand people want
ing to get him out of a secondary
school, for that heresy might infect
the quality of his scientific teaching,
we cannot see, however, why bis
views on CONSUMPTION should, or for
that matter how they could"
1t was not charged that Mr..
Hudson preached against conscrip
ton before his pupils. Hudson Ills
denied that he had conducted any
propaganda against recruiting. His
own opinions were based on relig-
ious and conscientious grounds.

TONOPAH EDITOR FOUND GULL
TY OF LIBEL GETS JAIL
SENTENCE

In the trial of the case of the
state of Nevada VS.. w. w. Booth,
editor and manager of the Bon&n-
"a, charged with libel. the jury this
morning at 1890 announced that
it had agreed upon a verdict Of
guilty OF mis5emeancr. The court
returned the verdict of the Jury
to its foreman without comment.
Upon further consideration Inc
jury brought in a verdict of guilty
OF gross m'sdemeanor. with the ac-
companying request that %leniency be
exercised by the court.
The court then fixed Monday.
Jan. L., at > O'Clock. as sentence
date. The question then was
whether between dates of verdict of
jury and sentence date, Mr.. Booth
should be entitled to bail. The
court held that under the statutes
he was not so entitled, but District
Attorney Sanders stipulated in open
court with Mr.. Detch, the attorney
for the defendant, that bonds might
lie accepted by the court.
The court then fixed the boni at
$4,000 and this order of the court
was later modified upon an agree
ment between the district attorney
and counsel for defendant that
$1,000 cash bond would be salts
factory and this was furnished by
Fred A. Burnham. The defend
ant was then discharged and re-
leased from custody until sentence
day.-Tonopah Bonanza.
Six months in the county Jail was
the sentence imposed yesterday by
Judge j.. Emmett Walsh, in the dis
trict court of Nye county, upon w.
w. Booth, editor and manager of
the Tonopah Bonanza, who was COLI
victed recently of gross misde-
meanor in libeling certain county
officials. An application for the
release of the defendant on bail
was refused by the court, where
upon Milton M. Detch, attorney for
Booth, gave notice of an appeal to
the supreme court.
A motion for a new trial, on
grounds that the jury had not
been properly instructed, that it had
erred in its decisions on questions
of law and that the verdict was
contrary to law and evidence, was
denied by the court. Renewed re-
quests that the defendant be adj
mitted in bail were denied on the
ground hat the defendant had
made no showing for clemency when
asked to give any reason why
judgment should not be pronounced
upon him.
