SCRUBS DO NOT PAY
GULL AND MARKET
Keep Only Useful Live stock-Look
Over Your Stock Now.

(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
This is the season to look over your
holding of breeding stock and prepare
to dispose of inferior animals. Com
mon stuff often can be run at a profit
on grass, but when we must feed them
through the winter on high-priced
feed, it becomes a different propo-
sition.
Even if you have pure-bred stock,
the same rule applies, since no one
can hope to have every animal ap-
proach the ideal in usefulness. and
scrubs will crop out 1t is better to
castrate inferior males than to dis
pose of them for breeding purposes.
A good steer is far better property
than poor bull. The young breeder
who follows closely this idea, is the
one who will win the highest success
in the end. Many good pedigrees are
found on inferior animals, therefore,
do not take a chance on your reputa-
ton by offering any such for breeding
purposes.
Perhaps you have a bull or a COW
purchased on their appearance a few
years ago, and now that you have their
offspring you see in them a disap-
pointment. In such case, put some
feed to such an animal and dispose of
it on the beef market Life is too
short to waste time, when once our
duty is so plainly indicated. Never
unload such an animal upon an unsus
pecting fellow-breeder, for the reac-
ton is certain and many times prompt.
In short, weed out, have fewer ami
mails, if necessary, but better ones.
1t is the practice of only such methods
that hold forth any hope of attaining
the standing of that rarity-the con-
structive breeder.

FEED AND CARE ESSENTIAL
(By R. NJ. Murphy, Division of EXten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By R. NJ. Murphy Division of EXten'
sion, University of Tennessee)
I have on my desk. from one of the
largest breeders of pure-bred cattle in
the state, a letter which contains in
substance the following remark: Our
cattle are not pampered, but are allow
ed to run in the stalk fields with other
grade stock" This expresses very well
the attitude of the average breeder to-
ward caring for his cattle. He neglects
his young stock so that by the time
they are of saleable age they probably
weigh two-thirds as much as they
should, and show utter lack of vigOr
and development, and then wonders
why he can't get for them prices such
as he has to pay the big breeder for
similarly bred animals.
Before a man embarks in the pure
bred business he should have made up
his mind that he will take better care
of them than he has been taking of the
ordinary scrub stock else he is doom
ed to disappointment. Whitehall Sui
tan, Beau Brummel, Prince Ito, etc,
look good, all right, in the pedigree, but
remember that a descendant Of one OF
these must be a good individual to be
worthy of such ancestry. Much feed
and care in addition to a good pedigree
are required to produce an animal OF
outstanding individuality. Numerous
instances might be given of animals
that have sold for $1,000 and upwards,
which would not be true had it not
been for the fact that in addition to
good breeding they had feed and care
sufficient to develop the individuality
they inherited. 1t cost in the rarest
instances a comparatively small part
of the sale price to develop such an
imals.
1t is not necessary that the breed
ing herd be kept in show condition all
the time, but it is essential that the
young stock produced be developed
while young, for if they are neglected
dI IuIS SLdSG VI LuGll SlON I'll liz oAl4OuiiN
of feed and care can overcome the bad
effect later in life.
Many a poor individual, due to lack
of development, is offered for sale with
the recommendation that he traces
back to some noted sire or dam with
out his owner ever giving a thought to
the fact that he is disgracing the strain
instead of sustaining or adding to a
reputation that has been built up by
years of careful breeding and feeding.
1t is indeed unfortunate that we have
so few constructive breeders, men who
are all the time trying to make their
breed better, but more unfortunate
that we have so many who, by their
common practices of neglect, are con-
tinually tearing down what others
have built up, making their breed
worse than when they found it. This
is largely due to the lack of an ideal
Study the breed you have adopted
until you know what a typical animal
is like; go to the fairs and see what is
the popular type then breed and feed
to that end, and when the buyer comes
around to purchase your surplus he
will not be disappointed in what you
have to offer.

CAREFUL ATTENTION TO
STRAWBERRIES IN WINTER
(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

~
For best results the strawberry bed
should receive some care in December
The grower who made a new planting
last spring and gave it proper cult
walton throughout the summer, should
have thickly matted rows; for the
rstrawberry is a continuous grover,
making new plants until stopped by
frost. The season was favorable, and
in land of good fertility a great many
plants were formed, far too many for
best fruitage.
The best way to thin a strawberry
plantation is by raking out the newest
plants. If there has been level cul-
ture, this can be satisfactorily done
with hay rake or spring tooth har-
rooted, late formed plants, leaving
the we'll rooted ones to produce
crop. In ridge culture horse tools
cannot be used to advantage. In all
cases the plantation should be raked
crosswise of the rows. Garden beds
can be raked with potato hooks, and
even in small fields this tool will be
found effective, though more expen-
sive than horse implements.
The slightly rooted plants will not
fruit next year. but being very numer-
Gus they prevent the best fruitage of
plants formed early in the season, and
their removal is as beneficial to the
strawberry crop as is pruning to
peach or apple crop.
December is good time for this
work The field will look as if it were
ruined, but the work will be worth
many times it's cost 1t is only to be
done, however, where the plants are
thick on the ground.
When the young plants have been
raked out, cover the bed with very
thin coat of clean straw, rows and
space alike The covering should be
so thin that the plants can grow
through it in the spring. 1t is not put
on as a protection from cold, but as
mulch to prevent the scattering of
the fruit with the soil and sand during
the spring rains. December and jan
uary are the months for mulching
strawberries.

GOOD TOOLS ARE
NECESSARY TO DO
BEST FARMING
Continued from preceding

page
passage, but it stirs the ground
more thoroughly. This brings
new particles of soil into con-
tact with each other, causing a
chemical action which makes
plant food available. For this
reason we prefer to use a cul-
tiVator wherever possible. Ev-
en- when there is grass to kill
the cultivator is best if you use
the sweeps, as it holds the dirt
better and does not dodge a
bout.
The two-horse cultivator
does double the work of the l.
horse, and our southern farm
ers appreciate this and are tax
ing advantage of it wherever
their land will permit of its use
With two horses you can use
a reaper to good advantage to
harvest your wheat and oats,
and if your crop is not large
enough to warrant this you can
club in with your neighbors to
one. If you have ever swung
a cradle much, you can appre-
ciate what a wonderful labor
saver this machine is. A NOW
er and hay rake are necessities
and a seed drill to plant your
small grain is almost as neces-
sary.
There are other labor saving
tools which it will pay any far
mer to own. Among these is
the horse weeder, a very effec-
tive tool on yong stuff where
the land is free from trash. We
might add here that a stump
puller will do as much or more
good than any other one ma
chine on the farm to make it
pay, for unless your land is free
from stumps you cannot use
these real labor saving tools
to advantage. And when you
get your own land free you can
pull stumps for your neigh
bOrs.
There are number of small
garden tools that it will pay
you to own if you plant many
seed drill comes first, then the
wheel hoe. | would not at
tempt to garden without these.
Also a spray pump to keep
down the bugs and insects.
Now, one word of caution,
No matter whether you own
many or few tools, have a good
shed or house to keep them in,
and for goodness sake keep
them under this shelter and do
not leave them standing about
all over the farm. | know |
am wasting breath talking a.
bout this, for if it has been
your practice to leave your
tools all about you, you will
likely continue to do SO in spite
of all | can say. Still, l have to
say it just the same. Good
tools cost money, and it is a sin
to let them decay and go to
pieces for want of a little care
and attention. | have been
compelled to give my hands
many a blessing out on this
point. | had the shed and ev-
en- then it was hard work to
keep the tools under it.

JUSTICE LAMAR
IS LAID TO REST
DISTINGUISHED GEORGIAN BUR
led IN AUGUSTA YESTER-
DAY MORNING.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan. 5.--Down the
aisles which he himself had trod SO
many times during his almost life
long residence in Augusta, the casket
containing the body of Associate
Justice Joseph Rucker Lamar was
borne this morning. The funeral
services were conducted with that
simplicity which was characteristic OF
the distinguished jurist and were ar
ranged in accordance with his own
desires.
Dr. Howard T. Cree for many years
Justice Lamar's pastor in Augusta,
officiated at the services, which were
held in the First Christian church.
Hundreds of people filled the church
to capacity, while several hundred
others remained on the outside un-
able to be accommodated.
The body and funeral party arrived
on the Atlantic Coast Line train, and
as soon as possible was taken to the
church. The baggage car contained
more than an automobile truck load
of flowers, which were hurriedly
taken to the church and arranged
about the altar so as to be in readi-
ness for the funeral party. These
floral tributes came from Washington
city, while at the chuEch there had
already been a large number of beau
tiful designs sent by Augusta and
Gee - a friends of Justice Lamar, in
Guiding designs from the supren e
court of Georgia, the Georgia Bar as
sociation, the Augusta Bar associa-
ton and others.
AS the caSket was borne into the
church the carriers passed between
members of the Augusta Bar associ-
alton lined up on either side of the
entrance. Justices Pilney, McReyn-
olds and Vandeventer OF the United
States supreme court came with the
funeral party, while Justice Beverly
d. Evans of the supreme court Of
Gorgia, represented that tribunal.
Justice Lamar was formerly a justice
of the supreme court of this state
President George w. Owens of the
Georgia Bar association with a large
uclcSdIlOll vi dIlOlIcyS lEOiH AIldutd,
Macon and Savannah, were in attend
ance.
Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul" was
sung by the church choir as the fu-
n raj party entered the church. A
passage of Scripture was read by DR..
Cree, after which a solo, Abide With
Me-" was sung. The minister then
offered a prayer and Rock of Ages"
by the choir ended the service at the
church.
At the grave a very simple cere-
mony was conducted, consisting of a
prayer and the recitation of Tenny-
sons Crossing the Bar"

Judge Lambdin in the United States
district court overruling the petition

Pratt Lumber company, bankrupt,
the case being in Referee Crovatt's
court.

ett. w. J. Smith and J. B. Jones, lien
creditors of the company. 1t was
taken under advisement by Judge
Lambdin at the November term Of
court In overruling the petition
Judge Lambdin pointed out that the
substantial question in the case was
whether the security deed held by the
Fourth National bank of Jacksonville,
in the case, is superior to the liens on
the assets Of the bankrupt claimed by
the petitioners. and that the opinion Of
the court was that the title and deed
held by the bank is superior to the

THEY CANNOT BE SECURED
Attempt to Redeem Pledge of
Premier Asquith-Lord Derby
Makes Reply to the Recent
Criticism on the Subject Of
Recruiting.

LONDON. Jan A. (delayedD The
operation of the governments recruit
ing plan was handicapped and delayed
by the impossibilty of obtaining
sufficient number Of medical exam.
inCrs and experienced clerks, says
Lord Derby today in a report answer
ing criticism of inadequate arrange
mentsc during the Abnormal flow of
recruits at the eleventh hour. Hence
while gross numbers are available up
to the end of the period December II,
details of groups are forthcoming only
up to November 30 before the tremen-
dous rush began
In the latter DAYS of the canvass,
, says Lord Derby, especially in coun-
! try districts the starred lists proved
unsatisfactory and recruits were in
correctly distributed This will call
for further investigation. Lord Derby
declares the canvass shows that ii is
not lack of courage which keeps men
from enlisting. Many who are willing
to go find themselves barred by do
nestle, financial and business oblga-
separate allowances This applies
especially to professional and com
mercial men.
The Earl Of Derby's report on his
recruiting campaign explains why the
cabinet found 1t necessary to bring for
ward e compulsory measure. There
are CSC, 900 unmarried men who fail
ed to come forward and the govern
ment will attempt to redeem Premier
Asquith's pledge that the married
men should not be called out as long
as any considerable fraction of un-
married held back. IN his report the
Earl of Derby says:
MANY difficulties have been met
with, but the chief difficulty has been
the unreliabiity OF starring, as dis
tinguished between those who should
and those who should not be taken
for the army. Instead of starring
being an assistance ii has been dis
tinct hinderance to the canvass.
More especially Is this so in the
rural and semi-rural areas owing to
the fact that 1t was known before
registration day what branches Of the
agricultural industry would be star
red with the result that many men,
who had no right to do so, claimed to
come under these particular head
ings The sense of unfairness thus
created and the inequality OF treat
ment to farmers, has been most det-
rimental in these areas. The farmer
himself is not a starred man, but
there are numberless cases OF his
sons and laborers being starred as
cowmen, horsemen. etc, though in
many instances ii is known they are
not really so engaged.
