MARKET CONDITIONS
GOVERN BREEDING
(By C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee)

(By G.. D. Lowe, Division Of Extension,
University Of Tennessee)
When meats are high there is big
demand for the spending pure
bred stock. Breeders get more money
because the meat value of their ami.
mails makes them independent of the
CHEAP customer and because the de.
mand is sufficient to take all their
stock at good figures. When meats
are low the demand for purebred stock
falls off and breeders are compelled
to sell for less than when slaughter
stock is commanding good prices.
Therefore, when the meat market
is low. when the demand is least for
breeding stock, that is the best time to
invest in purebred stock.
Just now hogs are cheap and breed,
ers have a surplus for sale at reasona-
BILE prices. Now is the time to stock
M on purebred hogs. Do not wait un.
til everybody wants them. Get them
now and be ready with surplus OF
your own for the time when everybody
wants them That time is coming just
as surely as it has come in the past.

PLANT LOCUST FOR POSTS

(By Charles A. Keifer, Division of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee
There is hardly a farm in Tennessee
that does not contain few acres that
can be devoted to the growing of trees
to be used for fence posts There are
odd corners, irregular pieces of
ground that can not conveniently be
embodied in fields, steep hillsides,
gullies, even the best OF farms have
small areas that for one reason or an
other can not be profitably cultivated.
Plant them to black locust, or other
good post timber.
Trees are sometimes planted along
highways, and used as living fence
posts, but this is poor plan because
too much of the adjoining fields, which
is often the best on the farm, is taken
up by their shade and roots; the land
two to four rods into the field is great
ly reduced in crop-production by the
trees.
Black locust is the best species to
use for posts, because it is very dura-
bic in contact with the soil, and is a
tree of the most rapid growth. The
seedlings can be bought of western
nurserymen for less than two dollars
per thousand They are easily grown.
Gather the seed now, thresh them
from the pods with fail, and keep
dry until late March. Just before plant
ing pour boiling water over the seeds,
and leave stard until the water is
cold; then plant either where the tree
is to stand or in thick drills, where
they should be cultivated one year,
and then transplanted to their perma-
nent place. If sown in drills, SOW very
thick in drill about four inches wide.
to prevent too great growth the first
year. AS soon as the seeding is trans
planted cut the top off at the ground
to secure a vigorous shoot.
In good soil locusts will be twelve
to fifteen feet high when three years
old, and If cut at the ground will make
excellent tomato or vine stakes, and
the shoot from the root will make a
wonderful growth. Planted four by
four feet, fence post7size is reached in
ten years or less, and the plantation
is continuously productive. A better
use for odd corners, steep lands, or
eroded lands hardly can be found,

GENERAL APATHY
IS IN COMMAND
or THE NATIONAL GUARD IN
TENNESSEE. SAYS CAPTAIN w
HUGHES.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 49,.
Capt. w. n. Hughes, Jr., of the reg
ular army and the inspector instruct
or OF the National. Guard of Tennes-
see, has recently returned from an
inspection tour all over the state and
he said this morning that he was
very much discouraged over the
W. akncss of the guard and apathy
prevalent nearly everywhere.
AT only one place, and that at
Memphis said Capt. Hughes, did
find a battalion up to its full
strength. The guard is in good con-
dition in Memphis but elsewhere
thdre is not a company that is up to
full strength.
Tennessee ought to support three
full regiments but at present there
is only one full regiment and two
battalions or one and two-third reg
iments, three battalions making a
regiment.
Another thing that should cause
chagrin to citizens of Nashville and
middle Tennessee is that the old his
toric First Tennessee is out of bust
ness entirely. 1t does look bad that
in middle Tennessee men cannot be
found to make up the four companies
in this regiment"
you can be assured that the Uni
ted States government, in case of
war will first send its trained men 70
the front and those who volunteer
will have to wait until they are train
ed and needed. The guard in Ten
nessee assuredly needs strengthen
ing"

The presence of horns on cattle on
sale at the large central markets gen
orally means that those cattle viii sell
for from 10 cents to % cents per hun
dred pounds less than otherwise,
There is only one argument in favor
of horns and that is the value of the
horn. as a by-produCt Of slaughter, for
the manufacture of buttons, etc.
Horns interfere greatly in the feed
lot with the development of a uniform
bunch of cattle; they also are trouble
some in the car when shipping. In
fact, they serve no good purpose at
any time, on market animals.
Methods of doing away with horns
are simple. In the first place they
may be bred Off by using polled bull.
Practically all breeds of cattle now
have polled strains.
Arresting the development OF the
horn, by application of caustic whom
calf is from three to seven days old is
another easy way.
Actual removal of the horn with
clipper of saw, if properly done in
early fall, will not affect the animal
greatly, but should be done while
young, before horn has reached large
size Care must be used to cut close
enough to the head to insure that ne
stubs follow. ring Of hair should
come off with the horn.
Bleeding is many times quite eXces
sive in removal of horns from mature
heavy horned animals, therefore such
should be watched.
It is usually not necessary to apply
antiseptics or ointments to the stumps
in this climate, if operation is perform
ed in cool season when flies are alb
sent.
In any event, get rid of the horns.
