Large Normal EnroIIments.

Preparations are being completed
rapidly for the opening of the 1916
1917 term Of the West Tennessee Nor
NAL School, Sept. 10, and prospects
for a successful term were never
brighter. According to Prof. Fraser
Hood, a member of the faculty, the
advance registration is greater than
ever before.
The winter session for 1915-1916
opened last September with total of
300 students enrolled. The registra-
ton this year already exceeds that
number. A majority of the students
are from Tennessee, but many are
from Mississippi, Arkansas and other
states.
One OF the noticeable improvements
at the Normal is In the manual train
ing department. New and valuable
paraphernalia was installed, which
affords greater opportunities for the
students.

ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS

Next Sunday is to be regarded as
Go-To-Church Sunday. OF course
that day should be fffty-two times a
year. But we must deal with facts.
And it is fact that many who PRO
TESS and call themselves Christians
do not go to worship regularly; and
in this respect it is difficult to dis
tinguish them from those who pro-
fess and call themselves non-C-1fist-
ians., So this special day is appoint
ed to call attention to the fact that
there is Church of God, and there
is Saviour of Souls who is plead
ing with men and women to come
to Him and be saved
Of course some come to Church
who have not really come to Christ,
and perhaps some have come to
Christ who have not come TO
Church. but certainly it is a mighty
puny Christianity that does no
Christian work shoulder to should
er with his brothers for his broth
.ers.
The Christian may not be all that
he should, and yet he has somewhat
to give to the Christless. The
Church may not be what she should
according to the wisdom of the all
knowing, and yet she has riches in
trust for the churchless. Wipe out
the Church of God (if you can con-
ceiye its possibility anu in one gen

At II o'clock there will be the
Holy Communion; at 1880 the Even
ing Service. The Church School
and Bible classes will be at $3.50 a.

human being is welcome at every

DAIRY cows DURING WINTER
Winter Milk viii Bring Farmer About
one-Thlrd More Per Quart Than
During Summer Season.

The production of milk is now quite
different proposition from what 1t
was in summer Winter milk will gen.
orally bring the farmer about one
third more per quart than in summer.
To Offset this, it costs lot more to
produce it. Winter milk can be pro-
duced at profit where the producer
is as far away as 200 miles from mar
ket, but to do 1t the producer cannot
go at IL in a haphazard, slipshod way.
He must thoroughly inform himself
as to the actual cost Of milk. He must
keep a correct account of each item
expended. There must be charged
against the COW the amount of hay,
silage. roots and feed she consumes, at
the fair market value. Each cow
should be credited with the amount OF
milk she produces. at market prices,
and then feed and care for the cows,
so as to have the balance on the right
side OF the ledger.

CULTIVATION FOR CORN CROP
Keeping Surface In Fair Condition and
Free From Weeds VIII BE Found
Of Greatest Value.

In view Of the common belief and
practice that corn should be cultivated
frequently experiments conducted on
an Illinois farm are quite significant.
One field was left uncultivated; on
a second weeds were cut with as little
disturbance to the soil as possible; on
third cultivation was given in tha
usual way. The first had almost no
crop; the second gave 47.3 bushels of
corn; the third 429 bushels. In other
words, lack Of cultivation was better
than cultivation provided the weeds
were kept down. The reason evident
ly was that corn, being q surface
feeder, was able to get more plant
food on uncultivated soil. Similar re-
suits were said to have been secured
even in dry years.
While experience gems to Indicate
that abundant cultivation is good for
most crops, with corn there is good
reason for believing that as shallow
and infrequent cultivation as will leave
the surface in fair condition and
keep the ground free of weeds win be
Of most value.

BIRDS NOT ALWAYS FRIENDS
NO Pity or Sentiment Should BE Vast
ed on Songsters Who Threaten
Fruit or Grain Crops.

By f. s. TUCKER. Louisiana Expert
ment Station)
Much argument has been spent in
urging the protection of birds for the
sake OF their attributive aid in the
suppression of insects. While admit
ting that many birds attack fruits and
commit other depredations, the claim
is made that these feathered creatures
more than repay all Their damages by
the number of insects which they cap
lture and eat. A study of the facts in
this matter generally shows that such
birds do not feed upon injurious in.
isects alone but also destroy beneficial
ones.
i:;er weighing the evidence and
judging further from personal obser-
walton, the writer has concluded that
no pity or sentiment should be wasted
on birds which threaten the produo-
tion of fruit or grain crops, or which
menace poultry. Unmerciful destruc-
ton by shooting and every prevention
of the breeding of such birds has, with
in the writer's own experience. been
the only means of saving the yield OF
small fruits, particularly grapes, in a
middle western locality. But the birds
that are not known to eat fruit or
grain or to do any harm may be rea.
sonably protected.

STRIDES IN EGG PRODUCTION
Delaware Station POuItrymen Con-
frontcd With Hen Which Laid
st4 Eggs in S65 Days.

Not very many years ago the 200
egg hen made her appearance. She
was not greeted with open arms by
poultrymen, but was rather considered
to be a freak-an exceptional being
that would not perpetuate her kind.
Her cool reception, however, was no
more than over before the 20O-egg
hen became common occurrence.
in the four Missouri egglaying con-
tests 249 hens Tor 1927 laid 200 eggs
or over. The individual record last
year went to a Buff Wyandotte with
247; l.! the Connecticut contest, q
Rhode Island Red laid 257 eggs in the
same period.
But with the close of the Phlladel-
phia-North American contest at the
Delaware station poultrymen are con-
fronted with hen which laid S14
eggs in S65 days; Oregon hens have
also produced over 300 eggs in year.
How is the 3OO-egg hen being re-
ceived? Almost in the same way as
was the 200-egg hen. Wonderful
strides have been made and will be
made to get high producers. But the
real problem before poultrymen is to
perpetuate the egg laying qualities
which have been developed. The 300
egg hen may soon be classed in the
same way that the 200-egg hen was
classed few years ago.
Poultrymen may we'll be proud OF
what they have accomplished, but
they cannot rest satisfied until they
perpetuate the desired qualities. And
that takes years of experience and
careful selection.-Orange Judd Farm

COMFORT FOR LAYERS
Building Constructed After Years
of Careful Planning.
Inside Of House Is Whltewashed and

Wlnter-Hens Happy In Pleas
ant Surroundings.

We have just completed a new hem
house that we are sure will be very
convenient in caring for winter layers.
This house was not built on the spur
Of the moment, but after three or four
years OF careful planning. says a
writer in Missouri Valley Farmer. We
studied farmers bulletins, agricultural
reports, farm papers, in fact, every
thing we could find which explained
the building Of good poultry houses.
We also visited several chicken farms,
and studied the buildings that have
proved satisfactory there. We believe
that our new house is better suited
to our present needs than anything
else that we could have built.
The house is so feet long by 10 feet
wide. It is 7 feet high in front and
AZ feet at the back. 1t faces the
south, and is sunny and warm. The
house is divided into FIVE rooms, 10

The snout and jowl OF an animal are
other points to which considerable at
tention is given. Shall the animal be
long in the snout and heavy In the
towl, or shall II be short In the snout
and light in the jowl? And shall the
dish OF the nose be large or small!
That all depends on the utility OF 1t.
If long snout enables the hog to eat
better or II 1t is associated with
greater length OF body, and this Is de-
sired, then 1t may be a good idea to
select for it. II q heavy jowl Is IN any
way useful to the hog, then 1t may be

pedes Its eating, prevents the pig from
getting into the trough as It should.
then It is to be avoided.
Many times in the history of the
hog industry the question has been
asked, What type OF hog lie best to
growi Shall II be the lard type or
bacon type?" Many times the answer
has been, THAT simply depends upon
ones preference in the matter" II
depends in large measure upon the
sorts Of feed one can grow. Some be-
lieve lard hog will not be lard
hog unless a man has lard hog feeds
for it-and the same of the bacon hog.
Therefore fellow is on the wrong
track when he is trying to grow lard
hogs unless he has lard hog feeds for
them.
Many man has seen herd OF lard
hogs which were very typical in the
beginning taken into parts Of the
country not essentially corn districts
and in the course of few generations
has seen those lard hogs lose almost
all their type characteristics and be-
come bacon animals. Just so do bacon
hogs raised in the corn belt, unless
fed on milk, pasture and kindred feeds
instead of on corn, lose their bacon
characteristics. Why, then, should a
man who has plenty Of milk and pas.
ture, but little corn. go out OF his way
to get lard hogs And why should
the man who has plenty Of corn and
grain, but little milk and pasture, hurt
himself to grow bacon hogs? There is
always a demand for both types, so
why not grow the type that the feed
at hand will most economically pro-
duce?

walls furnish plenty of floor space,
which can be used to good advantage.
The doors, ventilators, and roof are
so arranged as to provide for ample
fresh air and shade. The wires fas.
tened to the roof and lying on it serve
to hold up the back for ventilation
and to shade the ground. The back is
swung open and the hooks that hold
1t shut are hooked in these pieces of
wire. In the winter the house can
be closed to shut out the cold winds
and the roof opened to give fresh air
and sunlight to the interior.
In moving the house a good way is
to take a chain or a strong rope and
fasten 1t to the runners through the
holes bored for the purposes, fasten
to a clevis, hitch on team, and take
the house wherever desired.
The runners are the foundation of
the house and should be OF sufficient
