HAY SUPPLY OF IMPORTANCE
Farm Animals Consume ENORMOUS
Amount During Understanding
In Cutt.nu Small Areas.

On most farms there are grass
patches" or small meadows where Dy
careful work the manager may save
considerable hay. After the general
hay crop is taken care of usually
there will be a demand for more
Where one has considerable live STOCK
1t will be rather hard to store ana
save too much hay, for animals con'
sumo an enormous amount during the
winter and it is an easy matter TO UNI
derestimate what they will require.
It will pay generally to find the nay
patches where there is small area
of fine grass and save it. 1t may DO
little more expensive to save small
patches than in the bayfield, proper
but If the hay is needed, as it gen.
orally will be, no complaint need Do
made about the expense.
There is another advantage IN cut.
ting and curing the small areas OF
hay. The grass is utilized for feed
and not left to produce seed to cause
YOU trouble next year. Ii the grass
he Johnson grass, crab grass or other
thrifty growth that is more or less
pest there will be all the more reason
for cutting and curing 1t for nay

nine precincts outside of Nashville

Hooper, 1,1s4; Mcclellan. 2.52S; Over

that of Ira B. Clark, the East Nash
Vile druggist, who received over $500
votes. He made good showing both
in the city and county.

FROM DOUBLE GATE
Farm Task, That for Some Reason or
Other Is NegIected-Easy Fian
Described Herewith.

The making of the double gate ON
the farm is task that for some rea-
son or other is usually neglected. Inc
double gate gives much better service
than the large single gate for the rea-
son that the hinges have only half the
weight to bear that the single sa's
does.
An easy way to make the douple
gate is here described. 1t Is presumed
that a 16-foot gate is to be built anu
TO do 50 we build the gate, tas shoWnl'
al, in one piece. 1t is then set In place
snd the four hinges are made fast, the
most most wei tamped, and the gate is then men
p so we'd in two inthe center Gas shown
~e,.rr4-

This method will bring both gates
on a line,/ and they will be sure TO
close evenly. 1t is good plan to place

COSTLY CLOSING OF CANALS
How Freight Rates Have Been In.
creased by interruption Of
World Traffic.

Trade is suffering severely from tho
closing Of the canal, and the shippers
who made use OF 1t during the months
1t was In operation now realize wildly
what the interoceanic waterway
means 10 them One western firm is
sending two freight boats from the
Pacific tc the Atlantic. where char
ters are highly profitable, and finds
that it will cost $4,000 more for the
trip around the Horn than It would
through the canal. Freight rates
from the eastern to the western sea-
board have about trebled The effect
Of the stoppage Of the canal is re-
fected in the greatly increased earn
tngs OF the tTanscOnttnentai railroads.
Just now there Is a great deal Of ap.
prehensiOn in shipping circles lest the
SueE canal be temporarily destroyed
by an act Of war says Lesle's. This
would mean that the shipping from
the Atlantic ports OF the United States
and Europe to the East Indies would
have to double the Cape Of Good Hope.
With shipping as scarce as It isinow
this would be a heavy blow to a Som.

The report OF r. N. sims. ,tate
bank examiner, shows tho state banks
made the best showing in the whole
period covered by the records OF the
state banking department. The nation.
al BANKS OF the city and state have
oone equally well so banking circles
are expressing great satisfaction over
lhelr business for the quarter, and are
hopeful Of doing as well or better in
the first quarter Of 1916. In comment.
ing on the results shown by his report
Mr.. Sims says:
The combined resources OF the 21O
state banks Of Louisiana, according 70
their statements rendered on Decem-
Der IS, 1915, total s1SlIO&25I5S. com.
pared with |12273T51795 on Septeu,.
Der q, when their last previous fig.
ures were submitted. This is an t..
crease for the quarter Of 1896. 724O3
New Orleans state banks showed
the greatest gain, adding S..5Sg.Sg o.
to their resources, while the country
banks added S2,75o.S34g6. Most OF
the Increase was in the individual de.
poSits subject TO check. These show
an iscrease OF S6.775.S05G7 for the
quarter.
This is the best statement the state
banks OF Louisiana have ever made ar.
cordinS to records of the state bank
ing department. 1t shows S2,36223415
greater resources than the previous
nigh record made December IS. 1912.
when their returns totaled SI2774O..
9l74S. When the 1912 statement was
made the liabilities Of the banks for
borrowed money totaled SG.i5O,37333.
wh@:a az on the last statement they
only aggregated S3,740.4 G459. This
shows =, Iecrease Of S3,00s. 92S74
The liabilities Of the various banks
for borH7Eed money on December e,
was S22N5s096.37 less than it was when
they made their statements on Sep.
TENDER Il. They owed for borrowed
money December Is. S3.74O,44459.
compared with I5,945,54O.96 in Septem.
Der.
Another striking thing in connec-
ton with this statement OF December
IS the increase in cash held by the
various banks. On December Is, the
banks held S26,211.97343, compared
with SCI, 1884, 5936, in September. an
increase for the quarter Of S4,412.-

HAD NO REASON TO WORRY
Seeing That Jury Paid No Heed to
Prosecutors Remarks, why Should
the Defendant?

Clarts Adams, deputy prosecuting
attorney OF Marion county, tells Of tho
misEiVings he had as he met for tho
nrst time after the trial a man whom
1t had been his Official duty to try TO
send to the penitentiary. The crime
charged was OF the sort that gave the
attorney abundant opportunity to
score the defendant, and Adams &C
cordingly trimmed him up right"
The defendant was lawleSs, murder
Gus, bloodthirsty, as devoid Of pity as
the pirates OF the Spanish main, and
altogether lacking in every redecming
quality, according to the speech that
was made, but despite these distress
ing facts the jury acquitted him.
The next day Adams met the defend
ant, now discharged and restored to
full rights Of citizenship. The latter
approached Adams with a smile and
extended his hand
Young man, I'm fer you" he said.
81 am glad to hear you say that, .
responded Adams with a sigh of re-
lief. Il thought you might take to
heart some Of the things said about
you"
NO" came the cheerful reply, the
Jury did not pay any attention to them,
so | don't see why I should. Indian
