MUCH INTEREST
IN LIVE STOCK
Splendid Spirit Shown BY the
Farmers of Sale Creek to
Improve Conditions
BEEF CATTLE AND WORK STOCK
To be Given immediate Attention
Organization is Formed in Hamilton
County and Plan of Procedure is
Discussed at Short Course.
(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)


University of Tennessee.)
The spirited and definite action Of
the Sale Creek Community in Hamil-
ton county, Tennessee, in their en-
deavor to better their live stock con-
ditions, is commendable in the ex-
IRENE.
During the recent weeks course in
agriculture, held there with the help
of Representatives of the Division of
Extension of the University of Ten
nessee, plans were outlined whereby
they could best arrange for grading up
their native stock. That needing i'm
mediate attention was their beef cat
tie and their work stock.
AS a sequel to this agitation, local
parties, assisted by their County Agent,
organized live stock association and
began to follow out some of the plans
suggested in the Short Course, for the
introduction of better sires.
Eventually committee was select
ed consisting Of two farmers and the
County Agent, who were authorized to
fully represent the community, and
plans were made to visit Middle Ten
nessee in company with a live stock
specialist from the Division of Exten-
sion, with view to locating and pur-
chasing some beef bulls and a mule
jack.
Upon this trip five head of regis
tered Shorthorn bulls were purchased,
one registered Shorthorn heifer and
an excellent type of a jack. These
purchases put this community in a
good position to make rapid, live stock
improvement and the financial outlay
was the least possible.
Application has also been made by
this community for one of the regis
tered Percheron Stations from the
University of Tennessee foundation
stud as soon as they are available.
Other communities will do well to
follow in the footsteps of this one.
Full information thereon will be given
those who request it.

STUDY YOUR GRAIN,
GET BETTER CROPS
(By G. A. Keffer Division of Extension.
University of Tennessee)

(By G. A. Keffer, Division of Extension.
University of Tennessee.)
The bad days, when outside work is
impossible, can be very profitably
spent in study of farm crops. A few
weeks ago the farm demonstration
agent of Putnam county held meet
ing for men and boys at Pleasant Val
ley. He asked every one to bring ten
ears of corn with him. He had hoped
for big crowd, but the weather was
very bad and only fifteen came. Every
one brought ten ears of corn, and they
all studied corn together. First the
agent gave a talk ON seed corn, and
on varieties of corn, In which he ex-
planned that every variety had its own
characteristics, and all the ears of q
variety should approximate the stand
ard of length, diameter, number of
rows of corn on the cob, color, shape
and size of grain, etc. Then score
cards were distributed and the men
and boys made careful study of
their samples, placing the ears in the
order Of excellence. 1t was bad day
profitably employed.
The Division Of Extension OF the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville,
will be glad to help any community of
farmers in the state who may want
to make study of corn, or any other
farm subject.

HINTS ABOUT TILE DRAINAGE
(By J. C. McAmis, Division of Exten
sion, University Of Tennessee.)

(By J. G. McAmis, Division OF Exten
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
The first thing to do to wet soil is
to drain it. Suitable tillage is prac'
tically impossible upon it. 1t may be
sour, but lime is Ineffective; 1t 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. 1t may be
naturally rich-indeed it often is-but
its fertility is unavailable until air is
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
ature. The suns rays are used in
evaporation of water rather than in
warming the soil. Drainage is the
remedy.
The low lands are usually tie 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
food 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 pillow and ruinous
washing results.
II 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. 1t is the most
satisfactory method Of drainage. Open
bitches are inefficient and in the way
of tillage. Money spent upon the i'm
provement Of wet soils is wasted until
the water 10 removed. Tile drainage
Is the first step.

WHICH BREED is THE BEST
Careful Consideration Should Be
Given the Selection.
(By Richard N. Crane, Division of Ell
tension, University of Tennessee.)

(By Richard N. Crane, Division of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee.)
At this season of the year, whether
we be poultry farmers or general farm
ers, we should have at least roughly
made up our mind as to the number
of chickens we will endeavor to raise
this year.
There are several things that we
ought to consider before starting our
incubating operations:
First-Are we entirely satisfied with
the breed of poultry that we now
have in our ards? fl
Second-Does this breed of poultry
meet the requirements of our special
purposes?
In other words, If we are ambitious
to produce large quantity of eggs for
market, and do not care to produce
roasting chickens, we ought to decide
on breed that will be the most eco
nomical producer of eggs. While on
the other hand If we purpose produc-
ing market poultry as we'll as eggs,
is the breed we now have the most
economical producers of high-class
broilers and roasting chickens, and
are they as good egg producers as it
would be possible for us to have, and
yet get first quality market poultry?
II 1t is eggs we want to produce, lay
ing little or no stress upon the market
poultry side. We will In all probability
find that some of the Mediterranean
breeds, such as the Leghorns, Minorcas,
Anconas and Andelusians, will be the
most economical producers, while, If
it be eggs and market poultry, we will
find American breeds, such as Ply
mouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds. Orp-
ingtons, Buckeyes and Wyandottes,
would best suit our requirements.
So, before starting this years incu-
batting, let us decide definitely what
we want to do in the future in the
poultry yards, and let US not be chang
ing breeds from one year to another,
but, after definitely deciding on the
one breed, let us strive to make our
flocks as large as we can, and produce
good profits.

EARLY MATCHED PULLETS LAY
IN FALL AND EARLY WINTER
(By Richard N Crane, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.)

(By Richard N. Crane, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
February, March, and April are the
natural months of incubation in Ten
| nessee, and it is a fact that chickens
| Matched later than April do not have
sufficient growth by the time of our
| intense hot summer weather, with the
result that they become stunted, ma.
ture late, and seldom, If ever, become
early winter layers. This fact ought
to be borne In mind by every one of
US who are residents of Tennessee and
keep poultry on either a small or a
large scale as | think there exists no
man or woman who would feed a flock
Of hens merely to have something to
dish feed out to, if they did not be-
lieve that said flock would produce a
profit on the feed consumed. Many of
us would either change our methods
or discontinue keeping poultry, if we
would keep tabulated records of one
years work. Many of us feed our
focks heavily during the late fall and
winter months trying to develop the
pullets to sufficient majority to begin
laying, when, had we Matched them
out sufficiently early in the spring mot
later than April 15), this feed that we
gave them during the late fall and
early winter months, without results,
would have been producing eggs at
twenty-five to thirty-fve cents per
dozen. AS 1t is, when these late-hatch-
ed pullets begin laying everybody
else's pullets and old hens have start
ed laying in such volumes that our
high-priced markets are badly broken,
and that it takes two dozen eggs to
bring the price that one dozen would
bring around Christmas time.
In setting hens early in the season,
1t is well to locate the nests in the
cow barn, or, at all events, in some
building in which the eggs will stand
poor chance of becoming chilled. The
hens should not be given more than
eleven to thirteen eggs, as, during the
early season, in giving larger quanti-
ties of eggs than this, we find remark
ably poor matches, owing to the eggs
becoming chilled. Frequently, the
trouble is credited up to poor fertility
when in reality one has remarkably
good eggs, from a fertility standpoint.
The hens should be busted we'll with
some good insect powder before set
ting, and couple of times during the
period of incubation. This will pre-
vent lice, not only ON the hens, but
on the newly-hatched chicks.
Whether we set our eggs under hens
or incubators, it is advisable that they
be picked up four or five times day
during the early weeks of spring, and
kept in room in which the tempera-
ture does not fall below fifty. These
eggs should be turned every day,
changing their position so that they
will not become settled. Only uniform
eggs with smooth shells should be
used for setting purposes.
