on the laws of the Bible, and under our
Constitution, any citizen, rich or poor,
can come into court and get justice"
The night-riding movement was di-
rected toward lowering land rents and
raising wages of the men employed to
clear land in the lower part of the
county. Most of those who made the
final plea of guilty and were liberated
on parole say they were led into the
night-riding bands, on the representa-
ton that they were labor unions.
Attorney Pierce, former member
of Congress from Tennessee, who de-
Tended the Reelfoot Lake night riders
in that State, made a telling attack
on the land barons and the Citizens
Committee, in his speech in behalf of
John Allen.
Attorney Pierce's Address
A st. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter,
who was present at the trial of AL
len, who was acquitted, makes the fol-
lowing synopsis of Attorney Pierce's
address to the jury:
"There is some blackhanded work in
these cases." he said. ~ don't know
who is doing it, and l don't care a
continental. Someone backed Teeters
to make witness of him to convict
someone else. Teeters is sweet nose
gay in the prosecutions bunch OF
flowers.
"He has been caught in the iron
grip of the Citizens Committee, and
instead of being lodged in Jail with
other criminals he now lives at the
hotel like feudal lord of old, with
vassals by his side and walters to dc
his every bidding. Even his wife has
been brought to him that he may not
suffer lonesomeness.
Every attention is showered upor
him by that combination backing the
prosecution, not because Teeters has
won honors at the cannon's mouth OF
because he has distinguished himself
by his nobility, but because he is {
confessed criminal.
Judge mccarthy and ] stop at thu
same hotel in which Teeters and hi
wife are housed Teeter's meals ar,
served in his room, while the Judg,
and l, like 'pikers, walk into the din
ing room and take our chances will
the rest of humanity.
Talk about your conspiracies, thinI
of the powerful machine that makes
possible the transformation of con
fessed criminal into a princely being
You know the county is not paying thu
expenses of this prisoner while h,
lives in such Style"
Land BarOns Backing Prosecution

who are backing the prosecution, tn,
following have been in daily attend
ance here: Newt Anderson, holder O.

Death has visited our community
and taken from our midst Miss Ra-

20, 1887, and died April 10, 1916,
aged 20 years and 20 days. She pro-
fessedfaith in Christ at the age of
IA years, joined the Pleasant Grove
Baptist Church, the same year, and
remained a member of that church
until her death. She was ever interest
ed in the work Of the church and the
advancement of the cause Of Christ,
giving Of her means 10 the mission
work while on her bed Of affliction.
She was an invalid for five years but
was always hopeful and cheerful,
meeting everyone with smile and
kind words, She bore her suffering
patiently, trusting in God and being
resigned to His will. She desired very
much to get we'll, in order that she
might go to church and join in its
many activities. But she would al
ways say, "If it is the Lords will"
She left many evidences of her faith

A Smith county farmer built a nine.

The siIos here shown are on UnIver.
city Farm, Knoxville.
1t is not too early to begin planning
for that silo for next winters use. Far
too often we postpone all thought
along this line until our crop is ready
to harvest and then awaken to the fact
that it is too late to construct a stlo.
Homemade silos of either wood or
concrete construction will usually be
found most satisfactory.
Concrete silos can be built during
early spring to a good advantage.
The Division of Extension is pre-
pared to furnish free information re-
garding silo construction: Capacities
and dimensions for various numbers
of live stock, complete plans for build
ing, bills of material and specifca-
lions, with approximate costs, all for
either wood or concrete construction.

CHICKENS FED ON MILK
WILL MAKE CHEAP GAINS
Beef Scrap Is Expensive, While Skim
MIX and 5uttermIlk are Farm Prod
ucts-Therefore Use MIX.

(By r. N. Crane, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Hens produce as many eggs when
fed milk in sufficient quantity as when
fed beef scrap, according to the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station Of Purdue
University, Lafayette, Indiana.
AS beef scrap costs according to the
locality, from $500 to 1915 per hun
dred pounds, and as skim milk and
buttermilk are byproducts on the farm,
for which we don't have to pay out
cash, l think it advisable that boys
and girls In poultry club work use all
the milk they can possibly get. The
acid in the milk when fed to small
young chickens seems to have a very
beneficial effect on the digestive sys.
TEN, which tends to prevent white
diarrhea or other bowel trouble. The
milk also contains a great quantity Of
protein, which is necessary to the ra.
pid growth Of young chickens, or to a
large production of eggs with hens.
A bOuntiful supply Of either butter
milk or clabored skim milk, as we'll as
a good supply Of fresh pure water
should be kept constantly before the
young chickens.
In feeding the milk to laying hens,
take equal quantities of wheat bran
and wheat shorts, and use the milk to
mix with them. 1t may be placed in
a dish so constructed that the fowls
cannot easily upset it.
Cornmeal dough should not be fed
to young chickens, but rather the corn
meal should be made into bread, using
about ten pounds of cornmeal, one
dozen infertile eggs that have been
removed from under the hens or from
the incubator, mixed up with sour milk
or buttermilk, and a tablespoonful of
baking soda. This should be baked
thoroughly, and fed to the young
chickens until they are about five
weeks old, after which time they
should be fed equal parts of oatmeal,
cornmeal, wheat bran, and wheat
shorts mixed with buttermilk or cla-
bored skim milk. They should also be
fed equal parts of wheat and cracked
corn two or three times day. A con-
slant supply Of coarse sand or chick.
sized grit should be kept before them
at all times.
This method Of feeding will develop
your chickens SO that they will be in
condition to make a creditable show
ing at the fall fairs.

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Ell
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
1t is impossible to grow good or
chard fruits without spraying the trees
while the fruit is developing. One car
have apples of a kind-wormy, scab
by, rotted apples-that will scarcely
sell at any price, and are too poor tc
offer to friends. But the man who
wants to sell his fruit at a profit, OF
who takes pride in the fruit he sup
plies his friends, must spray.
Self-boiled lime-sulphur solution, OF
prepared lime-sulphur solution diluted
fifty to one, is the best spray for
peaches. 1t is now too late to prevent
wormy fruit, but next year as soon as
the bloom falls, spray the peach trees
thoroughly with three to four pounds
of arsenate of lead and six pounds OF
lime to fifty gallons Of water. When
the calyx or husk falls from the
peach-about three weeks after the
bloom has fallen-spray with prepared
lime-sulphur solution, one gallon to so
gallons of water, to which add three
pounds of arsenate of lead.
If no spraying has been done yet
this year, spray at once with the pre-
pared lime-sulphur solution diluted
one to fifty. Repeat this spray at in
tervals of three to four weeks until
a month before the variety is ripe.
Early varieties such as Greensboro
and Carman will require two sprays;
Elberta, three; and late peaches from
four to six. A good force pump should
be used and thorough job should be
made of it.
Bordeaux mixture is the best spray
for apples. The first spraying should
be done just after the petals fall and
before the scales at the end of the
tiny fruit close. Use four pounds
copper sulphate and six pounds Of
lime to so gallons of water, and add
pounds of arsenate of lead to the
solution. The copper sulphate (blue
vitrioD is dissolved in a barrel or
other wooden vessel, and the lime
Stacked in another. Strain the Stacked
lime and pour the two solutions to-
gether, adding water enough to make
80 gallons. Apply with as much pres
sure as possible to force the spray into
the blossom ends of the fruit.
After the first time, applications
should be made month apart, omit
ting the arsenate. Summer apples
should have three sprayings and win
ter varieties six. The late varieties
are subject to bitter rot, which can
be controlled best by frequent spray
ing.
Spray early, thoroughly and often.

IMMENSE LOSS BECAUSE
FODDER is NOT FED
100000 Tons at Value of $4,000, 900
is Wasted Yearly In Tennessee.

"Twenty-eight million dollars is lost
every year by the farmers Of Tennes
see through failure on their part tC
utilize the feeds that are now to be
found on the FARMS" says Professor G
A. Wilson, of the College Of Agricul
ture. Live stock could make use OF
the feeds. The returns that would re-
suit would be additional to those now
coming from the direct sale of farm
crops. The returns would be add.
tional because the live stock would
turn the roughage Of the farm, now be,
ing lost, into money.
More than half of the fodder of Ten
nessee goes to waste every year, For
every head of cattle in the state there
are produced three acres of corn,
which will average one ton of slower
per acre. One and one-half tons of
stover are more than are needed to
winter one head of cattle. There is
going to waste, then, in this state
every year, 100000 tons of corn
stover. This at valuation of $500
per ton means that immense loss of
twenty eight million dollars.-Division

PLAN WORK IN THE GARDEN
In May One Can Plant and Till and
Harvest.

(By Charles A. Refer, Division Of Elk,
tension, University of Tennessee.)
Every garden should have two plant.
ing days month; approximately the
first and fifteenth. Assuming that on
April fifteenth there were parsley, let
tuce, radish, peas, beans, spinach, car.
rot, beet, and corn planted, May first
should see tomato, pepper, and egg
plant, and okra, cucumber, melons,
squash and lima beans, with a second
planting of snap beans, and second
or third planting of radish, sown.
May fifteenth we may add winter
squash, satisfy, and parsnip, though it
would be better to plant them later.
Make third planting of snap beans,
a second planting of carrot and beet.
May is too late to plant cabbage, eau
lifOwer, lettuce, onion, and spinach.
If greens are wanted in late June or
July, plant endive the first of May.
But tillage is the great work Of May.
There is no greater implement than
the old fashioned hoe for garden work.
The harrOW-tOOthed cultiVator will
fine the soil between the rows, but
nothing gets next to a plant with quite
the same influence as properly used
hoe. Stir the soil, shallow, about
every plant once a week in May II you
want good vegetables, and keep the
soil we'll titled between the rows.
In May the garden should begin to
supply the table. Peas planted in Jan
uary are ready for use early in May
February transplanted cabbage should
be ready for the table in May. March
sown lettuce, beet, carrot, and spinach
sown radish.
May is the month of planting, Of til
lage, of harvest to the gardener.

way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutions

condition of the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
II is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, hear

Au..raIia's stony Desert.

The great stony desert Of north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt,
an Australian explorer, In 1864 1t
is north of the river Darling and Is
about 800 miles long and 100 broad,
consisting Of sandy dunes or ridges.
Its want of trees, except along the
creeks, gives the country a sterile ap-
pearance. These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect of winds
and a gradually retiring sea. Accord
ing to Captain Sturt, these waters were
gradually lost by evaporation or car
ried to some undiscovered sea. The
only vegetation, growing scantily, Is
prickly acacias in full bloom, all OF
stunted growth. Water Is scarce ex-
cept In the creeks which are sheltered,
and this is generally brackish. Few
travellers care to traverse this inhos-
pitable desert.

Animal. We Never Met.

DR.. N. A. Cobb, an authority on
zoology, declares that there must be
hundreds of thousands Of species OF
neematodes, or threadworms, more
than nine tenths Of which are still un-
known to science. OF the parasitic
nematodes infesting vertebrate AMI
mails alone 1t Is estimated that there
are at least $4,000 species. Insects,
mollusks, crustaceans and other animal
groups are also much infested, and as
a rule given species Of nematode IL
peculiar to a single species OF host.
Lastly, the species Of nematode living
free in soil and water vastly outnum-
bers the parasitic species. AS these
creatures are enormously prolific, the
number Of individuals must be quite
beyond conception. DR.. Cobb estimates
that in the upper foot of an arabic soil
the number Of nematodes runs to thou
sands Of millions an acre.-Exchange.
