RACE PROGRAM FOR
THE COMING FAIR

Editor Star: I hand you herewith
speed program of our coming Mar
ion County Fair, in so far as the
horse races are concerned, and wish
to add few remarks for the good of
the cause.
/ was selected as superintendent of
the races ostensibly because / am a
very muchly interested horse "fan,"
but / suspect that the committee
knew that as a railroad agent I was
best fitted to take the "cussin'" that
goes with the job. And right here /
want to say that I fatter myself
enough to believe that a railroad
agent has large field in which to do
a worthy work; he has his company
on the one hand and the public on
the other. The company by nature of
its very largeness necessarily does
away with the leniency and elasticity
of personal dealing, and therefore
demands very exacting service; the
public, often biased, even sometimes
prejudiced land to some extent by UNI
necessary thrusts of the press
against the railroads) likewise de-
mands a service none the less exact
ing. And so as / have said the
spreading of the cement which will
bind the railroads and their patrons
in a common friendship is a worthy
work, and no one has more splendid
opportunity of doing this than the
plain ordinary railroad agent.
But am about to diverge from my
subject, for / started out to talk
"hoss." It might be interesting to
the friends and supporters of our
fair to know that of the $500 offered
in purses by the fair association, that
the horsemen themselves pay in entry
fees and deductions from money win
ners $500. Last year the grandstand
receipts amounted to $786.25, and
there was nothing else to see from
the grandstand but the races. Now
by way of comparison: There is no
reason to suppose that the attend
ance this year will be smaller than
last; in fact, indications are that
financially we are in better shape
now than last year, SO il you will
grant that we will do as well this year
as last, we will add to the $500 that
the horsemen pay, the amount Of last
years grandstand receipts, $786.25,
and you will have $1416.25. Deduct
this from the total amount of purses
offered, $500, and you will have
$83.75 that the races will actually
cost. But if you are willing to be
partially fair in the matter and grant
that any meager proportion of those
people in the grandstand paid their
gate fee for the sole purpose of see
ing the races, you will soon conclude
that the races are not only neces-
sary attraction, but that they are an
asset in making dollars and cents for
the association. These are the actual
facts and figures in the case and can
not be denied.

Horse Racing and Gambling


We will admit without argument
that in the past horse racing and
gambling have been so closely asso.
ciated that even unto the present time
the mention of the one suggests the
other, but the world moves, and
things are continually happening, and
today times are different from what
they once were. About half of the
states have passed anti-gambling
laws, among them the Empire State
New York, and another probably the
greatest of them all; speak now OF
Florida. And yet horse racing in
connection with the county and state
fairs is fourishing without betting,
and the time is at hand when a man
can lend his support to and enjoy the
pleasures of this great sport without
any fear of odious criticism.
But this is only a reason way we
may support racing. The matter
goes deeper than this and there is a
reason why we should recognize and
support the game, and it lies in the
merit of the horse himself. He is the
noblest of the brute creation, a Gil
braltar of strength, an epitome of
faithfulness, and symbol of beauty.
He is mans truest friend and has
been the greatest factor in our march
upon civilization; he has ploughed the
fields and hauled in the harvests, he
has borne the burdens in the crowded
cities, and proudly drawn his mas
ter's coach over the turnpikes. But
he is being displaced in the fields with
steam plows and traction engines,
the auto truck has driven him from
the streets ard the luxurious touring
cars have pushed him off the turn
pixies, and today the only realm in
which he is supreme is on the race
track. Friends, it seems to me that
we owe the horse the debt of preser-
walton. When / think of what he has
meant to us, the centuries of uncom-
planning and faithful service he has
rendered unto man, am not ashamed
of the love that lies in my heart for
him.
And in conclusion, word about
our fair. The pages of history are
full of accounts of man celebrating
his victories and achievements, and
our fair coming as it does around
Thanksgiving time, it seems most
fitting. that we should assemble the
best products of our fields, the finest
Of our herds and display them on the
altar of community betterment. It
is good for our county to come to-

Only In This Way Can Greatest
Profits Be Expected From
Your Herd
keep COWS that MAKE MONEY
It May Be That You Can Take the
Cows You Have and BY Using a
Pure-bred Beef Bull Greatly Increase
Your Income-Think it over.
(By r. M. Murphy, Division OF Exten
ton, University of Tennessee,
KnoXville.)

What are you keeping cows for?
The dairyman keeps COWS to eat up
the rough feeds of his farm, to make
manure to build up the fertility OF his
land, to produce milk and butter to
sell. The beef man keeps cows to eat
I'D the rough feeds of his farm, to
make manure to build up the fertility
of his land and to produce calves to
SELL
The important difference between
the dairyman and the beef man is in
the fact that the dairyman's farm is
SO situated that he has market for
dairy products, the beef man does not
have this market so must be content
to sell a less perishable product
calves. Both of them are in a good
business because they are looking out
for the fertility of their farms first,
Of course, incidentally each of these
men has a supply of milk and butter
for his family. This is aside from the
main purpose of keeping COWS, how
ever.
There are thousands of farmers IN
Tennessee who do not keep COWS to
eat up the rough feeds on their farms,
who pay no attention to the produc-
ton and value of manure, who do not
sell milk and butter, but keep COWS
for the sole purpose of having a sup
ply of milk and butter for their faml-
lies. In the fall they sell bunch OF
scrawny calves that are disgrace to
the community.
They. miss the three main purposes
of keeping cows and feel content il
the old COW gives a gallon of milk for
six months and loafs for the other six
They should keep COWS enough to
consume all the rough feeds they can
produce.
They should make every bit OF
manure they can.
They probably should not try to sell
milk and butter for they have no mar
ket, but they should sell good call
for every COW every year, The only
way to do this is to keep COWS that
will raise good calves when bred tc
pure-bred bulls of one Of the beef
breeds. Take the cow that you have
no matter what kind, and breed hel
to pure-bred Angus, Hereford, Short
horn or Red Polled bull. Keep hel
heifer calves and in a short time you
will have a type of COW suited to the
business you are in, the business o
consuming the corn slower, straw, cral
grass hay, etc, on the farm the bust
ness of making all the manure posi-
BILE and the business of selling goot
calves.

HOW TO FEED
HENS PROPERLY
Importance Of This Question
Should Not Be Overlooked
With Prices as They Are
FAT POULTRY SELLS FOR MORE
Wheat, Oats, Corn and cottonseed
Meal, if Properly Proportioned
Form a Good Feed When Mixed
With Buttermilk and SkimmiIk.

(By R. N. Crane, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Tennessee.)
When the farmer raises a fowl and
places it on the market without fat.
tening it he loses an opportunity to
market much grain and waste milk at
two or three times the market value
In order to feed hens properly the
farmer should make feeding crate,
the commitments Of which should be
IS inches high and 20 inches square
The bottom should be made of lathes
set on edge to allow the drOppings to
fall through and to keep the coop
clean. The coop should be enclosed
with lathes running from bottom to
top The laths should be placed apart
sufficiently to allow the fowls to reach
their heads through without rubbing
when attempting to get food and
water. The food and water should be
placed in troughs fastened to the
front of the coop.
A food mixture of excellent value is:
rs pounds of ground wheat.
100 pounds Of ground corn.
25 pounds of cottonseed meal
rs pounds Of ground oats,
This mixture to be used with butter
milk or skimmilk, mixed into thick
paste, allowing the fowls all they will
eat night and morning.
The coop should be placed where
the fowls will be quiet, not subject tC
fright or annoyance.
Best results are obtained when poul
try is dressed at home, unless there
is produce dealer in your neighbor

RULES FOR DAIRYING.
Pertinent Advice on Calf Raising and
Feeding Milk Cattle.


At all times practice the following
advice and you will make dollars in
dairying:
Use pure bred sires Of dairy stock
from cows having large and profitable
productions of milk and butter fat.
Raise well the heifer calves from
COWS which for one or more genera
tons have made large and profitable
productions of milk and butter fat.
Breed heifers at the age Of sixteen to
twenty months.
Feed heifers literally and milk regu-
larly.
In summer time do not try to save
feed by turning to pasture too early.
Provide plenty Of pure, fresh water,
shade and protection against flies dur
ing hot weather.
Supplement poor pastures with corn
silage or green soiling crops, such as
rye, peas, oats, green corn fodder, cab.
bage and other available feed.
In winter time feed cows daily a
pound of grain for every three pounds
of milk produced, twenty-five to forty
pounds of corn silage and what clover
or alfalfa they will eat.
Do not turn cows out to remain and
suffer in cold, stormy weather.
Allow them to have water which Ii
not colder than from deep well, twice
or three times daily.
Brush cows daily if you can possibly
find the time, for it pays better thar
grooming of horses, which, as rule, Il
not neglected.
Keep cows in clean, well lighted
properly ventilated stables.
Treat cows gently and avoid excite

KEEP ASIMPLE FARM RECORD
(By C. E. Alfred, University OF Ten
nessee, Knoxville.)

It is very essential in the farming
business to keep a record of what Is
being done. Each farmer should have
a simple farm account book in which
to enter all farm inventories, receipts
and expenses. Every farmer should
keep a record of his farm business,
and check it up each year.
If you are not making as large
profits as you would like, this should
stimulate you to keep such a record.
You can then study your own bust
ness and learn just what enterprises
and combination of enterprises pay
you the best under your local condi-
tions.
The winter is the best time to begin
an account The time spent on such
an account will pay larger profits than
If spent in any other way,

Work is necessary to keep stations
in the best health and breeding con-
dition. It will make them better tenn
pered on account of association with
other horses. 1t win keep them from
forming vicious habits. 1t will make
them more certain breeders.
The man who breaks and works a
stallion must be a good horseman,
1t is best to break a stallion at or be-
fore he is two years old, but since
stations are rarely broken by the
breeder, the man who buys them often
