REM I'VE USELESS FENCES
(By G. E. Alfred, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By G. E. Alfred, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
For every dollars worth of live
stock kept in Tennessee another dol
lar is spent for fences to restrain
them, say men who make estimates.
In pioneer days there was tempta-
ton to split the tender logs into great
rails and construct fences with them.
Each winter a few acres of land were
cleared and each years clearing was
surrounded by a ten-rail fence, which
served to discourage some OF the
larger wild animals and the loose farm
animals from destroying the crops
Sometimes the surface stones were sc
thick they had to be removed to make
room for the pillow, and these were
put into fences.
In this way our farms came to b'
cut up into many small fields, each sur
rounded by a fence. But now, will
the use of modern machinery, thes'
fences are in the way and expensive
to keep up. ALI cross fences shoul'
be eliminated, except those absoiutei,
necessary to keep the live stock y
their pastures.

CATTLE DISEASE
REDUCES PROFIT
Contagious Abortion Exists in
tennessee and Must Be
Fought Vigorously
SANITARY MEASURES ARE GOOD
Best of Scientific Skill Has Not Yet
Perfected Cure-Cleaniness and
Good Care Are Best Known Means
of Controlling the Disease. .
(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)

(By C. D. Lowe, Division Of Extension,
University of Tennessee)
Contagious abortion in cattle is
spreading rapidly. 1t threatens to be-
come one of the most widespread ami
NAL diseases.
At present time sanitary and n.y.
gienic measures of control are the
only ones which have demonstrated
their usefulness. The drugs and pro-
prietary preparations which have been
advocated for the cure or prevention
of the disease are regarded as lnef-
fective. Their use is not recon-
mended.
Recently preparations known as
'bacterins' have come into use.
These products are still in the ex-
perimental stage. However, this line
of treatment holds forth the only hope
of effectually fighting the disease
The germ which causes the disease
may be passed from cow to COW by
means of the bull, or may be taken
into the system with food and water.
All suspicious animals must be iso-
lated from the other animals OF the
herd. The infected quarters must be
thoroughly disinfected.
Many owners fail to observe these
precautions, because they do not real
| ize in time that the infection Is
present in their herds. The disease
does not reveal its presence by promi-
nent warnings and does not appear to
affect the general health of the ami
] mails. Often the entire herd Is in
fected before the owner knows 1t.
All infected animals do not abort
After two or three abortions, COWS
seem to acquire a natural immunity
and many continue to reproduce nor
mally, although at the same time they
may be able, to give the disease tc
other animals.
When unmistakable evidences OF the
disease are at hand the entire here
should be considered infected. Al
abortions, all retained after births ant
any tendency to sterility should be re
garded as signs of the disease. In herds
in which the disease has gained
foothold, COW that has aborted once
!, or twice may be more valuable
} than one which has not. A few
cows will be made sterile by the at
> tack. The. others will resume norma
: breeding. They will be immune. |
d they are removed from the herd t
. make way for fresh non-immune COWS
. the owner has in prospect a contint
/ GUS performance Of trouble. The elm
' ination OF infected animals from e
q tablished herds is, therefore. not r.
commended.

WHAT Is A cow
TESTING ASSOCIATION :?
Interest Increasing In Tennessee Be-
cause of Increased Profits Where
Cows Have Been Tested.
(By G.. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The object of COW testing asso-
citation is that the members may know
lust how much net profit they are
making from their herds, which COWS
are making the profit and which ones
are being kept at loss. A man well
qualified for the work is employed by
the association as tester He spends
one day each month with each mem
Der of the association. He arrives at
the members home in the afternoon
Just before milking time, weighs the
milk of each individual cow, takes
samples for testing, and also weighs
the feed. He does the same thing in
the morning, after which the samples
are tested and the records of milk
and butter fat production for the
month are worked out, based upon
the yield for that day. The amount
and cost of feed consumed by each
COW is also worked out and the figures
are all posted up by the tester in a
herd record book furnished each mem
Der by the Dairy Division. The owner
can see at a glance just how much net
profit or loss each COW has made and
the amount of net profit made each
month from the whole herd.
The average cost of this work is
$3.50 per COW per year. The members
/ Of the efferson-Hamblen Cow Testing
Association have found the work very
profitable to them During the fourth
! month the total increased net profit
from their herds was $1,041 more than
it was the first month. The increase
/ was due almost entirely to instrue
lions of the tester in regard to proper
feeding and management. One mem
ber's net profit from his herd was in
creased from $3.50 the first month tt
$130.98 the fourth month.

SMUT KILLED ON SEED
OATS BY SIMPLE METHOD
Losses Of Three to Fifteen Bushels
Per Acre Prevented When Forma-
lin Treatment is Applied.
(By J. @. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By J. @. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Losses of three to fifteen bushels
of oats per acre were sustained last
year by farmers who did not kill the
smut on the seed grain before it was
put into the SOIL The expense of
treating seed oats is low. Doubtless,
the most convenient method of killing
smut in oats is to treat the seed with
formalin. Formalin is 40 per cent
solution of formaldehyde, and is a
deadly poison to the smut. A pint
is practically pound, and when
mixed with 40 to As gallons of water
is enough to treat SO bushels of grain.
When smaller amounts are needed
two tablespoons of formalin with
three gallons of water gives about the
same strength of solution.
There are two ways of applying for
malin to the seed. The first is to
! place the seed in sack or basket and
dip it directly into a vessel contain
ing the solution, at the same time
stirring the seed so that it will be
perfectly wet throughout. Then drain
off the surplus water and place the
seed in pile on clean floor or can
vas and cover with a heavy cloth or
sacking of some kind to hold in the
vapor. After twelve hours spread the
| seed out to dry in a place that is free
| from smut. AS soon as it is thorough
ly dried it may be placed in clean
sacks and is then ready for seeding
any time within several weeks.
Another method of applying the so
luton is to place the grain on clean
floor and sprinkle it with a common
garden sprinkler. Then stir the seed
thoroughly with a shovel and sprinkle
again, repeating the process until al
the seeds are wet with the solution
Shovel into pile and cover with {
heavy cloth for twelve hours, and the1
dry the seed as mentioned above.
Care should be taken not to let thu
grain sprout before seeding. If thu
grain is sown before it is thorough!
dry larger amount per acre shoult
be used.

If you must have your meat every

 uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood They become slug gish and weaken, then you suffer with
 a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick head ache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinses.

 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush of the body's urinous waste. get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm l acy here; take a tablespoonful in . glass of water before breakfast for a 1 few days and your kidneys will then l act fine. This famous sa1ts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Iithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to lneutraIize the acids in urine, so 1t no longer frrftates. thus ending bladder weakness.

RECRUITING IN NORWICH
 FOR PLATTSBURG CAMPS
Field Secretary Gates Sent Here to
 Organize Local Branch.

Captain Arthur F. Crosby of
 the National Military Training
 Camps Association Thursday sent it's
 Field Secretary. Merrill F.. Gates. IT,, of New York city to this city
 with a view to organizing local
 branch of the Training Camps Associ-
 ation and stimulating activity in get
 ting recruits for this summers ticut.
 This summer there will be four camps lasting thirty days each for
 men between IS and 45 years of age living in the states embraced by the eastern department, and preparations are being made to take care of about 25, 900 more than double the number attending in 1916. Under a law passed transportation. uniforms and equip ment and subsistence" and the quota of those attending from each state will be largely increased.
 The object of the camps and the training is not to raise a volunteer mill itary force, but to foster sense of patriotism among the young men of the country, give correct idea Of the need of real preparedness for this country and demonstrate the necessity of universal military service with equal obligations and equal service for all those qualified to bear arms. It also forms a valuable training school for commissioned officers, as after at |
 man is eligible for the officers reserve corps The instructors at the camps are all officers from the United States army, and the manual of arms, rihe practice, physical training, military instruction by lecturers and field tac- tics are taught.
 Junior camps for boys between their 18th and 18th birthday are also to be
 held at Fort Terry (Plum Island) and Last week MT. Gates organized branch associations of Plattsburg men in New Haven, Hartford Bridgeport, Stamford and Waterbury, and plans are maturing to form a state organf- zation in the hope of sending 1000 men from Connecticut, in place of the 200 odd who attended last year. En- listment blanks, regulations and other information may be obtained by writ ing to Grosvenor Ely. Box S2, Nor wich.
 On Friday MT. Gates will visit Mid- dletown where a meeting of former Plattsburg men has been called to organize and make recruiting plans. The enlistment application provides for attendance for the full period of 30 days, unless unforeseen circum- stances should prevent.
 Enrolment at Plattsburg does not place the men who accept this train ing from the government under any other or greater obligations than other citizens who may later feel called upon to enlist for active service in case an army of volunteers is called for. The war situation, and the men who att tend them are known as federal re-
