REASONS FOR TILE DRAINING

(D Tile drainage makes all tillage
and harvesting operations easier and
more rapid, physically and meehan'
ically.
90 Drainage removes both the ex.
cess surface water and the surplus wa
ter in the soil and subsoil.
t9) Drainage prevents loss of fer
tility by surface washing.
(4) Drainage will save fertility in
soil with each rainfall.
(5) Drainage helps to warm the SOIL
as well as to dry it, giving the best
conditions for plant growth
co Drainage engthens the seasons
of tillage, crop growth, and harvest.
CD Drainage increases the extent OF
root growth
go Drainage helps to disintegrate
the soil and makes pulverization pos.
sible.
90 Drainage greatly diminishes the
effect of frost in heaving out wheat,
clover, ETC., in winter and spring.
(10) Drainage on clayey soils helps
the crops to resist drought better.
I'D Drainage often, tho not al
ways, diminishes the suddenness and
violence of floods.
12) Drainage improves the health
of the people in the community--C. 3

PRODUCE HIGH
GRADE CREAM
Tennessee Farmers Who Keep
Dairy Cons Can Thus
Increase Profits
CLEAN MILK CLEAN CREAM
Many Farmers Are Selling Cream and
Getting Regular Pay Checks in Re-
turn-Permanent Success Depends
Upon Production of Clean Cream.

Good, clean cream should be pro.
ducod on every Tennessee farm where
dairy cows are kept, according to C. A.
Hutton, Dairy Specialist of the Di-
vision of Extension, University of
Tennessee, Knoxville.
Just suOrt while back" says Mr..
Hutton, "the Dairy Division of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, seeing
the Importance of good cream to the
South, gave its recommendations,
based on years OF experience. The
points made by the government work.
ers should be we'll taken in Tennessee:
Clean milk is absolutely indispensa-
Bile to the production of clean cream.
To produce clean milk the barn, barn
yard mixers, and milk utensils must
be clean, and the cows must be clean
and healthy.
"The cream separator and tie milk
utensils should be thoroIy washed
and scalded as soon as possible after
they are used, as particles Of milk or
cream left in the separator or on uten-
sils act as a starter and cause the
cream to sour more quickly.
Cream should be separated so as
to contain from 80 to 35 per cent of
butterfat, as rich cream does not sour
so quickly as thin cream. Rich cream
leaves more skimmilk on the farm for
feeding purposes, reduces transporta-
ton expenses makes less bulk to han.
die on the farm and in the creamery,
md lv ~,
better condition.
Cream sours very quickly at tenn.
peratures above CO. F.; therefore, it
should be kept at as low temperature
as possible Cream should be cooled
Immediately after it has been separat.
ed, and should be kept cold until de.
livered to the creamery. Cold water
is an effective agent for this purpose
Fresh cream should not be mixed with
cream from previous skin ..lgs until
it has been thoroly cooled as the
addition of warm cream raises the tenn
perature of the older cream and
hastens souring.
Cream should be kept in a clean,
well-ventilated place in order that OBJ
jectionable odors may not be absorb
ed from the atmosphere.
'In order to keep the cream smooth
and uniform and prevent the forma.
ton of Jumps, it should be thoroly
stirred each time new lot of cream
is added to the older cream.
I'm the summer, when cream is en-
route, the cans should be entirely COW
cred with wet sacks or blankets to pro.
tect the cream from the heat.
ITO insure the delivery of cream OF
good quality, it should be delivered
at least twice a week in winter and
three times week in summer"

HAVE YOU, Mr.. FARMER,
EVER ASKED YOURSELF
THESE QUESTIONS

Every farmer will do well to com
pare his farm with more successful
farms, to see where his is weak and
whether it can be improved, says G. e.
Alfred Division of Extension, Univer.
sity of Tennessee, Knoxville. Let him
ask himself these questions:
% Have | 80 to 200 acres of crops?
II not, can l buy or rent more land?
(2) Are my crop yields 10 to 20%
better than my neighbors' who have
the same soil? If not, will it not pay
me to increase them?
go Are my cows at least 500 bet.
ter than my neighbors? If not how
much am l losing on them per year?
Had | better stop keeping cows or get
better ones?
(4) Am getting at least 20%o of my
receipts from the sale of cash crops!
II not, could l make more money by
raising cash crops?
go Am l getting at least 20% OF
my sGcas'S from animal products?

LINING FOR ALFALFA

Alfalfa requires a'soil that is neutral
or alkaline. 1t is necessary that soil
acidity be neutralized by lime in order
that the desirable bacteria may thrive,
and also that there may be an actual
excess for the use of the plant. Alfalfa
ash often contains as much as 40 per
cent of lime, while red clover contains
rs per cent and timothy per cent.
Most Tennessee soils are acid, ex
cept where lime has been regularly
applied Soil analyses show that these
soils contain very low quantities OF
lime, hence the necessity for applying
lime in liberal quantities in preparing
land for alfalfa. A light application
may start off the alfalfa for time
but the stand will not be permanent.
1t is better that the lime go on land
ten days or two weeks before the al
falfa is seeded. Light sandy soils need
not be lined as heavily as clay soils
in most cases two tons of ground lime
stone per acre will be found sufficient
After the lime is distributed the soil
should be thoroly harrowed.-C. E. ALL

of Tennessee, Knoxville.

BUSY DAYS FOR
CONGRESSMAN SELLS

Washington, June 2S.-With a view
of leaving for his home for a few
days as soon as the house begins re-
cess of three days, Congressman
Sam R. Sells is closing up a number
of departmental matters that have
been pending during the past week.
One of these is appointments to West
Point. Today he nominated for the
military academy John P. Davis, Jr.,
of Tazewell, and Edgar H. Hartmann,
of Greenevlle as principals and son
of Sam Mitchell, of Bristol, to the
Annapolis Naval academy; also Lynn
Armstrong, of Rogersville, to the same
institution.
Today Mr.. Sells secured the ap-
pointment of Dr.. w. r. Booher, of
Bristol, as a surgeon in the army, and
secured a good job for Roy Reeves,
of Johnson City, in the war depart
ment. Last week he got several
young men from his district good pO-
sitions in the navy yards where they
viii get the benfit of the good wage
scale that is now being paid mechan-
les by Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Sells had a conference today
with the department of justice as to
the Tennessee game preserve law.
Mr. Sells has been working with the
department of agriculture several
months as to the establishment of
game preserves on the government
lands held in Tennessee for forest
reservation. Mr.. Sells sent a bill to
Nashville which was put through that
body STIMULATING that the government
should have jurisdiction over these
state preserves and the game thereon,
but it seems that a bill had previous
ly been passed creating a preserve
in Polk and Monroe counties, declar-
ing that the state should have eXclus-
i've jurisdiction over such preserves.
The Polk Monroe counties bill passed
first but the governor signed the Sells
bill first and since the local bill re-
ceiyed the governors signature last
the question is does this give the state
or the government jurisdiction.
Mr.. Sells is anxious that his bill he
held to control since it means the
permanency of the preserves. 1t is
thought that if such ruling is made
it means that the government lands
can be used for game preserves.

Only In This Way Can Greatest
Profits Be Expected From
Your Herd
KEEP COWS THAT MAKE MONEY
1t May Be That You Can Take the
Cows You Have and BY Using a
Pure-bred Beef Bull Greatly Increase
Your lncome-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 W
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 nan keeps COWS to eat
up the rough feeds of his farm, tC
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 Il
so situated that he has a 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 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 sup
ply of milk and butter for their fami.
lies. In the ia Il they sell bunch OF
scrawny calves that are disgrace
