Bowler

for bowling stimulates the
muscles of the abdomen, caus-
ing them to perform their. nat
ural functions. But the benefi-
cial effects of the sport are not
confined to this alone. Every
muscle of the body is brought
into use and developed.
The man with the bowling
habit is none of your tiat-chest-
ed, puny gentry. He is clear
eyed and ruddy with health and
knows how to use the muscles
the Almighty has given him.
If you don't know the joys
of bowling, you are missing the

icessfui breeder Of live stock must have
the courage or the capital to buy
goods, bat hot necessarily costly foun-
dasisA stock. He must have The de-
Termination and ability to see It
through. He must produce that quail
ity of animals demanded by the dis
eliminating buyer. That is, his herd or
flock must possess the necessary
breeding to insure uniformly good
offspring and he must present them to
the purchasing public in such state OF
development as to be above criticism.
Even with these requisites, ready
sale of surplus stock may not be Sc
cured, if the breeder has increased the
size of his holdings rapidly. There is
no regular market where registered
stock may be shipped and sold, SO that
the breeder must consider methods Of
letting the world know Of his product.
Naturally, as good animals are dis
tributed from his farm, they become
the best possible sort of advertising,
1t is also advisable, as progress is
made, to exhibit specimens from his
herds and fiocks at county, district and
state fairs.
The carrying of paid advertising in
reliable mediums will be great aid
in any stage of breeders develop
ment. Conservative and persistent use
of such space, will practically spell
success, If he does the rest of his work
well.

These are questions, the answers to
which should be receiving serious
thought by those already taking and
proposing to take steps in the regis

PLAN WORK IN THE GARDEN
In May One Can Plant and TIL and
Harvest.

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division Of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee.)
Every garden should have two plant
ing days month; approximately the
first and fifteenth. Assuming that on
April fifteenth there were parsley, let
tuce, radish, peas, beans, spinach, car
rot, beet, and corn planted, May first
should see tomato, pepper, and egg
plant, and okra,. cucumber, melons,
squash, and lima beans, with second
planting Of snap beans, and second
or third planting of radish, sown.
May fifteenth we may add winter
squash, satisfy, and parsnip, though it
would be better to plant them later.
Make third planting of snap beans,
second planting OF carrot and beet.
May is too late to plant cabbage, eau
lifiower. lettuce, onion, and spinach,
II green's are wanted In late June or
July, plant endive the first of May.
But tillage Is the great work of May.
There is no greater implement than
the old fashioned hoe for garden work.
The harrow-toothed cultivator will
fine the soil between the rows, but
nothing gets next to plant with quite
the same influence as properly used
hoe. Stir the soil, shallow, about
every plant once week in May II you
want good vegetables, and keep the
soil we'll titled between the rows.
In May the garden should begin to
supply the table. Peas planted in jan
uary are ready for use early in May.
February transplanted cabbage should
be ready for the table in May. March
sown lettuce, beet, carrot, and spinach
will be big enough to eat, as will April
sown radish.
May is the month of planting, OF til
lage, OF harvest to the gardener.

CREATING MARKET
FOR FARM PRODUCTS
70 Get Number Of Buyers at a Mar.
ket One Must Have the Goods
to Sell.

by VIM. A. Schoenfeld, Division OF
Extension, University of Tennessee
If you had span OF mules to sell
and had made arrangement with John
Jones to meet him at the county court.
house, at three o'clock Saturday after.
noon, for the purpose of selling the
mules, the spot near the county court
house, Mr.. Jones, three o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, would constitute the
market for the mules. You can readily
see that II you could induce John
Smith to meet you at the same place
and time. so that he could also bid
on the mules, that you would have
improved your market one hundred
per cent. That is, you would then
have two buyers instead of one, who
would in all likelihood compete with
each other for your span OF mules.
Fundamentally the points necessary
for good active market are. COM
mon meeting place, a sufficient quaint.
ty Of marketable farm products,
large number Of competing buyers, and
a fixed time when these products will
be offered for sale
II cannot be expected that a large
number Of buyers be present at a sale
when only small amount of products,
Of low value, is offered. Hence, it is
often necessary for a number OF
farmers to combine their offerings of
farm products, and to offer the prod
ucts for sale at the same time and
place so as to make II worth while for
the buyers to come and compete.
Many instances can be cited where
farmers have cooperated in creating
markets for their products. The Good
lettsyille, and Lebanon, Tennessee,
lamb and wool clubs; the tobacco
growers, in the Carthage. Tennessee,
tobacco section: the mule raisers, sur
rounding Columbia. Tennessee, have

keep YOUR BABY
WELL THIS SUMMER.
Important Directions to Be Fol-
lowed BY the Mother Dur
ing Hottest Months
SECOND YEAR NOT DANGEROUS
What the Expert Health Nurse Does
to Keep the Babies Placed in her
Care Healthy and Happy-Anyone
Can Do the Same.

(By Mrs. Lena A. Warner, Division OF
Extension, University of Tennessee.)
Do you know that one-fourth of all
babies die before they are one year
old?
Do you know that one-fifth of these
deaths happen in July?
Hot weather alone does not kill ba'
bies.
Death comes most frequently from
the effects of hot weather upon the
food of which they eat.
Remember there is no better food
Tor babies than mothers milk. If you
can nurse your baby, do so, not ofteneI
than once every two hours; when the
baby is over three months old, every
two and a half hours; when five
months, every three hours. Give the
baby all the cool boiled water 1t wants.
Boil the water twenty minutes. Let II
cool in covered jar. Never leave 1t
uncovered. A quart fruit jar will hold
enough for days supply. Have II
fresh every day. Babies often cry be-
cause they are thirsty, or because they
are getting to much food, or because
they are too hot.
Dress the baby in as few things as
possible on hot days. A little band Of
wooden and cotton mixture to absorb
perspiration, a petticoat and a thin
dress are enough. Socks are unneces'
sary.
Do not wean your baby unless the
doctor orders ii. Then follow his ad
vice regarding the preparation Of the
milk for the bottle baby. DO not feed
the baby on coffee, syrup, or any solid
foods.
Keep the milk clean. See that it is
always kept covered and cool. Bottles,
pitchers and brushes used to prepare
the milk must be perfectly clean. Pre-.
pare enough bottles in the morning for
all the feelings Of each day. Place a
stopper Of clean absorbent cotton In
each bottle. Keep these bottles in a
separate part Of the spring house or
iceless refrigerator.
Milk must be kept cool II 1t is to
remain fresh. Do not forget the value
of hot sospsuds and boiling water for
cleansing purposes.
Teething is a natural event in a
baby's life and viii not make it sick
If it is properly fed and kept clean.
Teething is no more difficult In sum.
mer than in winter. The second sum.
mer need not be any worse than the
first.
Battle the baby at least once each
day. II It has prickly heat, put tea.
Of bicarbonate OF soda in the
bath. Babies with prickiy heat may
have been covered or dressed too
warmly.
Fresh air IS most important for
baby in summer Keep II out In the
cool, shady places a. much as possible.

MUST PLACE ORGANIC
MATTER IN FARM SOILS
There Are Several Ways to Supply
This Requirement = Crops Plowed
Under Is One; Manure Is Another.

(By c. E. Alfred, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee,)
The most important soil problem in
nearly all regions is the question of
organic matter. This problem is par
ticularly serious in the South. In this
region of long seasons a tremendous
quantity of organic matter is used up
each year. In colder regions the de.
cay is less rapid. In the South the
great soil problems are organic mat
ter and erosion, and the latter prob.
lem is, to a considerable extent,
problem of organic matter, because
this helps to hold the soil.

ally, a farmer may depend on pur
chased manure or hay, straw, or other

By blowing under crop roots, stubble,
