TO WEAKLEY COUNTY TEACHERS,

I Our enrolment is increasing
continually. We hope soon to
reach the four hundred mark.
Our present student body is COM
posed of enthusiastic pupils
from ten states. Expenses:
Tuition is 81 per month; incidental
fees low, good board in the best
homes from SIP to $13 per month.
Thirty dollars will defray all
necessary expenses in HallMoody
for the entire remaining time,
twelve weeks, of this spring term.
AT the same time it should be
worth more than one hundred
to you in one school year.
Now, the object of this letter is
not only to call your attention to
our great school and to what
Hall-Moody has done and is do
| ing, but also to encourage any
worthy, ambitious teacher IN 60
ing on from conscious need to
conscious ability. Preparation has
ever created its own demand and
shall ever do SO. Do not regret
the increased requirements by the
state, for that means a higher
standard This is certainly de-
sirable from every point Of con-
sideration.
Three of our teachers have ex-
tended experience as instructors
in teachers Institutes. The en-
tire force is selected from the
consideration Of efficiency alone.
We are giving special preparation
to teachers with us for the ex-
aminations as they come by the
state. We already have num-
Der OF teachers present, and Just
now and in the next few days we
expect quite a number from the
1 l.
different counties around about;
then the teachers course will
have full right-of-way, and every
consideration will be shown them
till the close Of school. Come and
Join the band. Let's make things
merry and exceedingly profitable.
Sit down right now and tell us
you are coming. Write us at
once if interested. w. E. Wool
ridge, President,
Advertisement.

Dear Friends and Fellow Ser

Dear Friends and Fellow Ser
wants:
You are aware, OF course, that
our state examinations are be-
coming more and more difficult.
You, to be sure, must meet this
demand for greater efficiency.
Not every school can help you do
this. The instruction in Hall
Moody Institute is planned to pre-
pare you thoroughly to pass these
trying ordeals. We have yet twelve
weeks Of the spring term that we
are devoting to the work OF pre-
pairing teachers. You doubtless
know Hall-Moody has led the
state for several years in teacher
training. We would assure you
that we were never better prepared
for this work than we are right
now. Come with us at once, and
let us help you get this dread OIL
your mind. Besides the matter
of examinations, a further reason
asserts itself, the best prepare
ton does, or should secure, the
best positions, and the best re-
muneration. Better still, it makes
you a better and stronger teacher.
The future for the teacher is
growing brighter, his need is
more keenlN felt, his services
more imperatiSely demanded, his
salary, though little by little, is
continually increased. There is
scarcely any work that ranks
higher than teaching. Without
the teacher the worlds progress
would be blocked. But this great
demand, that we speak OF, is for
the real teacher, not the school
keeper, nor just the novice in the
work. In your calling, as in
othore the lower round of the
ladder Of promotion is crowded,
but the topmost rounds are reach
ed by but few. While there and
there alone is to be found the
real pleasure and profit in teach
ing. With the standard lifted
higher, as the state is endeavor-
ing to do, the importance of the
teacher and the demand for real
proficiency are emphasized ex-
ceedingly. Hall-Moody Institute
is the only school in these parts
that offers this instruction.

THE BUSINESS OF DAlRYING
The Dairy Farmer Should B Coco
Business Man.
(By G. A. Hutton, Division pf Exten'

(By G. A. Hutton, Division pf Exten'
sion, University of Tenn$ssee.)
There is no line of farming THAT calls
for as much expert, scientific knowl.
edge as dairy farming. The success
full dairyman must not only know the
best principles pertaining to the prop.
er feeding, care, management and
breeding of his cattle, but he must
also be good farmer in order to pro-
duce feeds cheaply and build up his
store of soil fertility. The dairy bust
ness offers absolutely no inducements
for the lazy, easy-going, unBusiness'
like man, but for one who isl willing
to work, think, plan, study, and put
some brains and energy into his work.
it affords most excellent opportuni
ties.
1t has been said that one could al
most detect the dairymen in buch Of
men by talking to them for few min
utes on almost any subject, because
it is claimed that a real dairynan can
not talk long without a pencil and pa.
per. l do not know that this Is liter
ally true, but it is at least true with
regard to the successful dairymen
Dairy farming, if properly conduct
ed, is one of the most profitable sys-
TENS of farming, and even poor, I'M
business-like dairying may sometimes
result in some gain. The only way to
ever attain success at this type of
farming is by the use of the best bust
ness principles. Good dairymen may
be said to be born and not made. Good
dairymen have long since found that
milking COWS is very much like real
work, and that it only pays to keep the
| best. They know that the only true
way to find out which COWS are pay
ing profit and which ones are losing
is by the keeping of herd records.
They know that it pays to feed bal.
anced ration to good COWS bred to
freshen in the fall; that they must
feed silage; that they must study the
market problem; that they must con-
stantly read and study, and profit by
the experience of others; in short, that
they must be good business men.
Talk all you may Of the advantage
of pure bred cattle and the folly Of
owning scrubs, but the scrub dairy
man will always have scrub cows.
When the dairyman himself reforms,
then, and not until then, are these
things added unto him.
The requirements for successful
dairy farming are four: Good COWS,
good feed, good markets, and : good
dairyman. The greatest Of these 10

FOREIGN HORSES TO BE
EXHIBITED IN GARDEN
Vinilla, Imported From Chile,
Among Entrants in Ma
tiOnal Show.

Although Walter w. Rycroft. presi-
dent Of the English Hackney Horse So
ciety. will be the only exhibitor from
abroad at this years Horse Show. which
opens next Saturday at Madison Square
Garden. the number OF foreign horses,
not counting Canadians. promises to be
the largest ever seen at the National or
any other American show.
Harness classes IN particular are
swarming with imported horses. chiefly
hackneys brought over from England by
wealthy American horse fanciers h
could not And what they wanted at home.
Among 1872 entries In sixteen open har-
ness classes n~lnety-siy. or exactly so
per cent. are imported horses. TIE class
for pairs exceeding i5.I hands n not
exceeding 1873 hands has twelve English
horses out OF sixteen eligible to compete.
An unusual foreign xhib.t this year is
the gray POLO pony Vinilla. entered by
John l.. de Saulles. who imported her
from Chile. Few IL any horses from this
remote part of the world have ever been
seen at American shows, but If Ninilla
is n fair sample OF Chilean types she is
not likely to be the last one exhibited
here. Ninilla has won at Piping Rock.

judged her at White Plains, pronounced
Vinilla one Of the finest specimens of
polo mounts that he had seen in years.
Another notable foreigner in the polo
classes is the English stallion Christie

Barker and recently imported for breed
ing purposes by a syndicate Of Long
Island amateurs. among whom are
Horace Havemeyer. Harry T. Peters, w.
