Men Who Wear Feathers.

Among the strange tribes of men
about whom little is known are the
ChamacOcOs of the region about the
upper Paraguay river
Although the Chamacocos wear but
little clothing. they excel in the art
of making personal adornments from
the feathers of birds. Their country
abounds with birds Of the most beauti-
full plumage including parrots, tou-
cans and trogons, whose feathers are
dazzling in color; rheas with gray
plumes. musk ducks of a glossy black
color, egrets with feathers of pure
white and spoonbills of delicate pink.
All this wealth of color and grace
full plumage is combined by the Cha
macocos in a most artistic manner.
Some of these savages walk their for
est glades in colors more brilliant, if
less ample, than any woman's dress
maker could produce. = Washington

Cross Eyed Mentally.

Do you ever start 70 say something
and find yourself using the word you
hadn't the faintest idea of using? Just
little cross eyed mentally, aren't you !
Did you ever mean to jam your foot
on the accelerator and slam it down
on the brake instead? Have you ever
put salt twice on the same plateful of
food when one of the applications
should have been pepper? Did you
ever laugh at the wrong time at the
theater, or sneeZe unnecessarily at a
funeral, or fall to sleep quietly in
church, or solicitously inquire where
So-and-so is nowadays when the poor
chap has been dead six months? Sure
you have. Everybody does it. We're
all just a bit mentally cross eyed some
times. and we don't look where it
seems that we are looking. What we
really need to look out for is not doing
queer things too often. If we do
there's no telling what may happen to
us. We may get into the papers-

A Useless Advertisement.

An old man, well past sixty, entered
the publication offices of the Book and
Life and asked to be directed to the
lost and found counter At the proper

of the following elmer adj

tunity. 1t is probably worthless now. but
/ will reward the honest finder who brings
it to me, as am curious to know what
it might have done for me had / not been
careless with it.
The clerk read the advertisement
and then looked pityingly at the old
man.
We'll insert your ad.,'' he said, but
it is my duty to inform you that there
is hardly any use in putting it in. We
have no records of any lost opportuni-

The old man thought for a few min

$3.50 IN DISCARDED
SAFE CLEARS NAME
Clerk Was Accused Of Shortage
II Years Ago.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. = The $3.50
found in Chicago in a safe that lor
merly had been used in the revenue
offices here, has a claimant.
About eleven years ago, Edward FL
lott, who now lives in Idaho. was a
revenue clerk in the local office. He
was charged with a shortage of $3.50,
and although it was believed the
shortage was due to clerical error,
Elliott had to pay the government $3.50.
Soon after this, the safe in the rev.
.enue office was outgrown and new
one took it's place. The old safe was
sent to Chicago and placed in storage.
Last summer one of the government
offices in Decatur. Ill, was in need of
4 safe, and it was decided to take the
old strongbox from storage. In clean.
ing out the safe a paper was pulled
from under the lining and $3.50 in bills
was found.

Many Farmers Decide to Grow
Less Cotton and More Cattle
New Life in the Work.
EXCELLENT RESULTS OBTAINED
Bankers Offer to Loan Farmers Of the
County $4,000 at Reduced Rate Of
Interest on Long Time Notes With
Which to Buy Cattle.
(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)

| NJ AN' A'i' Phy biFAoAoh Va 1AboA
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Sentiment in favor of better live
stock is rapidly developing into action
Gibson county farmers have decided
to grow less cotton and more cattle. A
| movement started a few weeks ago
amongst the bankers of the county re-
suited in their offer to loan the farm.
| ers $15,000.00 at a reduced rate of in.
terest on long time notes. This stim.
ulated the farmers into immediate 40.
tion. A committee was appointed to
decide whether or not efforts should
be confined to one breed of cattle and
II so, which one. The committee de-
cided unanimously In favor of the
Hereford. A buying committee was
appointed and as soon as cattle could
be located they started after them.
Each banker looked after his own pa
irons Notes were given by the farm
ers, placing at the disposal of the
buying committee sums varying in
amounts according to the kind and
number of cattle wanted. The notes
were made for $4,000 for bulls, and
100000 for bred heifers and cows, so
that there would be a safe margin.
The bankers decided to allow one of
their number to handle the entire sum.
When all of the notes were in, each
of the other banks mailed checks for
the respective amounts to the bank
selected and the buying committee
drew draft ON this bank for the en-
tire amount.
The cattle were located in Western
Missouri and consisted of bulls rang.
ing in ages from IL to Is months, bred
heifers, and a number of cows with
calves at foot and bred again, totaling
IS head exclusive of the young calves.
They arrived home in excellent shape
and with two more calves than they
started with, both in good spirits.
These cattle were bought in small
lots; on the average, not more than
two head going to one man. Upon
their arrival home they were greeted
by a very much excited crowd. AS
they marched up the main street OF
town they created more excitement
than circus parade.
Prices were adjusted by the COM
mitee according to relative values Of
animals, and price placed upon each
animal The freight costs and other
expenses were prorated in accordance
with the prices on animals since the
prices corresponded very we'll with
the size and weight Of animals. The
average cost, including all expenses,
was $4,000 per head.

SOIL STlMULANTS AND
HOW TO USE THEM
(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sim University 0f TauuacSaaN

(By J. c. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Temporarily, soils may be made to
increase in production and at the same
time decrease in plant food. In fact,
bumper crops of grains are always ac-
companied by maximum outgo of fer
tility. There is four times as much
plant food in a hundred-bushel corn
crop as In one of twenty-five.
Intensive tillage, deep plowing, thor.
ough cultivation, all increase crops,
because they make plant food avail
able. but they add no plant food to the
SOIL They help to take 1t away.
Fertilizers often enable crops to
take out more potash, phosphorus, and
nitrogen, particularly nitrogen, than the
fertilizers themselves contain. They
may increase production, but decrease
total plant food.
Two tons of limestone should be ap-
piled to the majority of acres in Ten
nessee. 1t places potash and phos-
phorus in reach of plants, but it adds
none to the soil. 1t does not even add
nitrogen. unless legumes are intro.
duced to the cropping system to be
plowed under or fed and the manure
returned to the land.
These things are good: intensive til.
lage, fertilizers, lime-all have a place
In soil-building. Making plant food
available is the farmers business. So
is making soils durable and perma.
nent. Worn soils are the natural re.
suits of placing fertility in reach only
of soil-robbing crops-grains, corn,
cotton, tobacco, etc. Soil-building crops
have not received their share of the
benefits.
1t is necessary thing to make
plant foods available by all possible
agencies, but they should be directed
first toward the increased production
of soil-building crops; red clover espe.
cially, and then to grains. 1t is more
important to have ideal preparation Of
the soil for fall-sown clovers than II
is for spring-planted corn. Fertilizers,
which in the past have been saved re-
ligiously for wheat and corn, should be
applied generously to peas, beans, red
and crimson clover. So should lime.
WheE farmers decide to feed their
soils before they demand the work
of producing corn crop, instead OF
waiting until afterward to replace the
soil fertility taken out By the csyu,
kten soils win be durshls,
