That an Investigation should be,

with information by local dealers as
to transportation charges from the
mines to Duluth and Superior.
Great Difference In PRICE
With the government regulations
prohibiting more than one profit on
a, ton Of coal from the mine to the
retailer, and the dealers OF coal in
the northMest~~ making a reasonable
profit, the fuel administrator believes
that discrepancies Wfla-be found when
transportation costs are fully studied
on water and rail from the mines to
the Great Lakes docks. Differences
or margins in prices asked by docn
companies to retailers compared with
those asked at the mine run as high
as $2.16 on hard GOAL and as high
as SASS On bituminous.
That companies making hauls over
the water knowing that there is a
car shortage existing in the north
west and In the east. have advanced

roads, has been suggested as one pos

Fed the Right knd of Feeds Dur
Ing the Laying Period.

Beef scraps supply the much need

Of worms and grubs that are plentiful
In the early spring months, when
hens lay heaviest BY supplying this
animal protein in the form Of beef
scraps, and by allowing abundance OF
succulent green feed, grain and water,
hens can be made to lay as well in the
fall and winter as during the spring
season.
The U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture has, by tried experiments, pro-
duced an average annual lay for
farm-sized fiocks OF 147 eggs per bird
by feeding scratch feed morning and

two parts of corn and one part oats,
and dry mash kept before the hens

TOO much for him. It is not econom-

The only economical solution of this

chase OF a community bull in which
the entire farming community will be

much greater field OF usefulness. The
average pure.bred bull owned. by an

IN RECORDING THE COST
CONSIDER MARKET VALUES

There are two ways of studying a
farm business. One is to determine
the proitableness of the farm as a
whole. The other is TO determine the
Drofitableness OF the different enter
prises that make up the farm.
Persors wins are not familiar with
the principles involved in accounting
often confuse these two There is no
use in pretending to study the costs
e a single enterprise ii this enter
prise is confused with the profits and
losses of each of the other enter
prises on the farm. II one wishes to
dc this sort of work he should study
the farm as whole and determine
its labor income.
II he wishes to determine the cost
OF milk he must charge hay and grain
at what these products are worth. Hay
and grain are inishad products ready
for the market; just as much as Is
milk. II a farm raised hay at cost
OF 500 ton and IL this hay Is worth
only So on the market but is charged
to cows at 500, the COW account might
snow loss even though COWS could
pay $l2 ton for hay and make a prof.
it The conclusion would be to go out
Of the COW business, whereas logl.
cal system of accounting would show
the trouble to be with the bay and
not with the dairy business.
Conversely. il hay costs So ton
but is worth $50 on the market. and II
the cows were able to pay $l2 for this
hay, and ii hay is chargedlat cost the
cows might show a very fine profit
which would lead one to greatly in
crease the dairy and buy $50 hay to
iced them, whereas an accurate sys-

profits to be on the hay.-C. e. Alfred,

PRUNE AT THE
CORRECT Time
Only in That Way Can One
Expect TO Get Highest
Yields From Fruit
PRUNE GRAPES IN JANUARY
Peaches Demand Special Attention
and Should Always Be Pruned-
Apples Pruned in Late April Or
Early May DO Well.

Grapes are best pruned before any
danger Of bleeding, which results
when the vines are cut after the sap
flows, Warm weather even in Jan.
uary may start the sap, and it sell
dom happens in Tennessee that Feb.
ruary does not start the sap in grape
vines.
Neglected vines are best pruned by
cutting all new growth back to one or
two buds, and leaving no new shoots,
less than eight inches apart. Where
vines are pruned every year, the prun-
ing is simple enough, but in unpruned
vines there is often long spacing
where no new wood occurs. When the
vines have become very long, with the
new growth near the ends, ii is good
practice to make sharp vertical bends
In the main canes, fastening the vine
rigidly to wire trellis or stakes. Dur

most sure to spring in the curves. and
If these new shoots are pruned the fol.

Some growers prefer to leave two

TO six to ten buds. Whatever the
r1ethod. for best results the vines
should be Fpruned every year and the
best time to prune is january.
Peaches may be pruned at any time
while dormant, and In large orchards
the work had best be begun in De
cember in order to be sure Of finish
ing it. Never neglect peach pruning.
Apples in bearing are best pruned
In late April or early May, about the

WISE USE OF MONEY

The Federal Farm Loan Act is being
beneficial to Tennessee farmers ia that
it is encouraging them, and providing
the means as well, to use more capital
The fact that they have to combine IN
order to get it, and that they have to
present definite plan of action to
those from whom they secure the
funds, and the further fact that their
investments and the wisdom Of the
undertaking Will be censored or at
least discussed by number Of farm

to bring careful investments for pro,
ductive purposes.
