SHOWING PROFIT

County Agent, L. A Farrand is taking
steps to organize Sow Testing Asso-
citation" in this county, and perhaps
more than one, il enough people are TO-
terested in the project. 1t requires rs
members, with enough cows to aggregate
400 for each association.
Porter. Decatur and Paw Paw town
ships could be combined and worked TO
advantage IN one association, and Keller
Lawrence, Arlington, Hamilton and
Hartford in another. Should dairy men
i'm other sections of the county desire to
form an ASSOCIATION, others could be or
ganized
Below are some interesting facts re-
garding Cow Testing Associations.
| First Association ia United States

tall Of 1905. Began work January, lst
1906.

10 the first association first year Tor each
cow was 40 pounds. Average product
ion per COW for the year finished Apr. ID

Tom May Works for the Drys

Tom May OF Detroit. noted in may
states as the leading cartoonist OF
Michigan, has been added to the stafr
OF the Michigan Dry Campaign CON-
mittee. Although his services were
sought by the liqour dealers, Mr.. May
declined their overtures and at
financial sacrifice, accepted a proposal
made to him by the dry workers.
The cartoon Is one Of the greatest
campaign features Of the day; every
modern newspaper uses 1t In some
form. It carries an appeal to the
average reader which often strikes
home more quickly and deeper than
columns Of argument. Newspaper
publishers are glad to use cartoons
when they decline to accept special
pleas put IN other forms.
There IL no doubt that the Ton Nay

The Bar.

Written by life convict In Joliet,
H.. prison:
The saloon is sometimes called a bar
that's true.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell;
Whoever named 1t, named It well.
A bar to manliness and wealth;
A door to want and broken health,
A bar to honor, pride and fame;
A door to grief and sin and shame,
A bar to home, bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life.
A door to brawling, senseless strife.
A bar to all that's true and brave;
A door to every drunkard's grave.
A bar to joys that home imparts;
A door to tears and aching hearts.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell;
Whoever named it, named 1t we'll

How Plants Remain Upright.

If fowerpOt is laid on its side the
stalk of the plant growing in it gradu-
ally curves upward until 1t resumes
the vertical position. This Is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
Is by what means the plant Is stimu-
lated to change its direction OF growth.
One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the
lower side as the position is changed
and by their pressure influence the
mechanism Of growth.

Talking too much seems to be q dis.
ease. With one 1t takes the form Of
"reminiscences. This harmless old soul
takes great pleasure in telling about
the "ole swimmin' hole" the last log
GIN bee" and other events In which
he featured. Another takes IL out on
the neighbors. He tells you line OF
conduct and then tries to get you to
declare that It is shameful. It's all
the neighbors, Of course. Or it's some
invention the fellow has. It's going to
revolutionize things some day. He's
never tired detailing Its merits. The
only thing wrong with It is that It's
not possible Of anything good out
side the inventors mind. Perhaps It's
politics. The great national problems
are settled daily by wise ones all
over the land. Sometimes It's love
talk. The fellow gets enamored cas-
fly, and makes love to every maiden
that will listen to him. The result
is he says too much and gets into
trouble. Take counsel and beware Of
your line Of talk.

Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop 1t or go and help put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way
with cough. A cough is danger
signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it 10 ringing,
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlsin's Cough
Remedy. Many have used it with most
beneficial results. 1t is especially val.
liable for the persistent cough that so
often follows bad cold or an attack of
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeohing, An
drews, Ind, writes: During the win
ter my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chanberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you cam
not get him to take any other" OBJ

morning a few days later, I'm going

Nancy was sorrowful, but silent,
awaiting her husbands further words,
suspecting that 1t had something to
do with his newest within.
You see, ever since that day that
the crier at the circus got cold and

WHERE FAT PAYS
(By o. d. Lowe, Division of Extension.
University of Tennessse.)


In beef production, II fat 10 sold at
fat (tallow) prices, 1t is costing to pro-
duee from three to four times what 10
received for 1t.
The deposits Of fat in cattle about
the intsstines and kidneys, also that
existing as patches" or "gobs" direct
ly under the skin, Is always stripped
OF and sold as tallow. The problem
them IL 10 secure a carcass wherein the
minimum amount of fat Is sold a.
such.
Fat that Is intsrminslsd with the
muscle hbsrs, forming the 'marblsd"
appearance so desirable In steak or
roast, and that spread In uniform
covering beneath the skin, sells at the
highest price obtainabls for the chotc-
est cuts Of the carcass.
The quality Of steaks and roasts de-
ponds upon the proper admixture Of
fat between the lean flbers, this gov
srning its juiciness, tenderness, and
favor.
Dairy bred and scrub steers have
the tendency TO place relatively more
fat within the body cavity than do the
beef breeds. and while their gross
gsins may at times equal those Of the
latter class. such increases usually do
zst pay cost Of production. The rem

ausing Eat OF q loss. 10 to handle only
that GLASS OF cattle that By nature tend
10 deposit their fat where It can b
sold at price In excess Of that Of pro
duetion; then By studying the foot
needs Of such animal and applying
them TO its feeding. we viii be enabled
to produce the maximum amount Of
the highest class Of bssf at the lowss'
cost.
A combination OF intelligent breed
lng and careful feeding viii solve th'
question Of profitable bssf production
on Tennessee farms.

From that moment Ned set his wits
at work to accomplish the design in

he did not try to discourage Joel. He
knew that 1t would be Of no use.
Joel's mind was nightly set upon his
mission.
The morning after their arrival In
Plymouth Joel and Ned started out TO
call upon the theatrical agent whose
card the circus man had given to
Joel.
They located him In IN ONCE, the
walls Of which were covered with

his mission.
