W. Sims, Democratic nominee for
Congress, atten ded the McNairy
County Fair and conferred with
Democratic voters. He has seen
many old friends and made new
ones. He says that he is highly
pleased with expressions Of con-
tinued support from friends. In an
interview he said:
There is no doubt of my re-elec-
ton If there is a full Democratic
vote polled. The only hope Mr..
Rhodes, the Republican nominee,
has in the election is to pull off some
Of, the Democratic members Of the
Farmers Union. In no letterhead
or stationery that | have seen issued
in behalf of Mr.. Rhodes candidacy
does it appear that he is a Republi-
can nominee or that he is Repub-
lican in politics. This attempt to
hOodwink the Democratic voters Of
the district will sisnally fail. The
Farmers Union is nonpolitical and
nonpartisan and will resent any at
tempt to convert it into a political
aid society for Republican nominees
for Office"
Mr.. Sims will speak at .Selmer
Saturday, Oct. %, at o'clock, in
the interest Of his candidacy for re-
election.

PREPARING THE STOCK
FOR HARD WORK TO COME

(By R. NJ. Murphy Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
As the season for spring work ap
proaches, the work stock, which have
been standing idle most of the winter
and receiving light rstions of grain
should be prepared for the hard work
to come. At least two weeks should
be taken to get them In good condition
Tor work, during which time their
grain should be increased to a normal
work ration. Quite commonly they
are put right to the plow with no pre-.
parations. and In weeks time they
are so reduced In flesh that 1t is i'm.
possible to get them back in condi.
Iion until the rush season is over. Not
only are they not accustomed to the
bard work, but the sudden increase in
the amount of feed, which usually fol.
lows, means so much more work for
their digestive system that they fire.
quently get off feed, and this, OF
course, means serious loss.
Most OF the sore shoulders and
other common sores on work stock,
which gives so much trouble through.
out the season, often times are caused
during the first few days Of spring
work by illfitting, or rough collars and
harness. The collars should be
thoroughly cleaned and present
smooth surface to the shoulder. II
they do not fit they should not be used.
The harness should be thoroughly gone
over and all the places not in order
should be repaired.

WHY WON'T THE BUTTER
COME ASKS HOUSEWIFE
(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Extsn
IL fn,in.. - Il

(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Extsn
sion, University of Tennessee.)
This is question often heard II
the farm home at this season OF the
year. There are several conditions
which cause difficult churning, but dur
ing the winter season, when most diff
hculty is found, it is likely caused
from one or more of the following con
ditions;
Milk or cream from cows we'll ad,
yanced in the period of laclation, or
those nearly dry, is harder to churp
than cream from some COWS when
fresh. The farm COW Is often nearly
dry during the winter months, and on
most farms. she is fed on dry feed,
The butter fat Is harder, and hence
the cream is harder to churn than
when the COW is fresh and running on
good pasture.
Probably the most frequent cause Of
difficult churning is that of churning
cold cream, This often happens in
the winter time. There is no certain
temperature at which to churn; but,
this will have to be determined In this
way; Churn at whatever temperature
the cream will churn in twenty to
thirty minutes This may vary under
different conditions as much as ten
degrees. but under average conditions
a higher temperature vill be needed in
winter than In summer,
Sour cream will churn more readily
than will sweet cream, other things be-
ing equal In cold weather the cream
Is not apt to be thoroughly soured,
If 1t does not sour by the time that
sufficient quantity is accumulated
for churning, the temperature should
be raised to about 10 degrees and held
there for few hours. II may be
necessary in some cases TO add lii,
tie sour butter milk from a previous
churning 70 start the cream souring.
II barrel churn is used, It should
hot be filled more than one-third to
one-half full. in order that the cream
will have room to become thoroughly
agitated In the process OF churning,
