That live stock pays on the farms of
a nearby state may be seen by the fol-
lowing figures secured from eighty-one
farms in one community. The farms
were not selected farms, but were
taken as they lay along the road.
These farms were divided into three
groups according to the amount of live
stock kept. One-third of the farms
were found to have over 20 head each

increase the volume of farm business

wasted can be made to give good re-

A Few Well-known Drugs and Feeda

(By DR.. C. ID. Lowe, Live Stock Spe.

Thousands Of dollars are wasted
each year in Tennessee by those who
buy and use so-called stock foods
and stock tonics."
Impartial tests of these materials
have been made by various state ex.
pertinent stations and the results OBJ
tanned which show their worthlessness
should be generally needed.
More than twenty different expert
ments conducted with over one thou
sand animals at twelve different sta
tions are sufficient to show conclusive
returns. In no instance did the so
called foods" return their cost and
in several cases their use seemed to
interfere with the proper returns from
the other feeds fed in connection with
them.

contain too small a percentage d
drugs to be effective in the treatment

of a filler" which is usually some
simple feed like cottonseed hulls,
bran or alfalfa meal. In this is car

together with charcoal, sulphur, salt

simply to disguise the appearance OF
the real contents. Practically all OF
them contain common salt, and 1t is

BEES NEED PROTECTION
ON TENNESSEE FARMS
Government Has Found That Hives
Well Insulated Give Best Results
in Every Case.
(By C. Il. Bartholomew, Division OF
Extension, University of Tennes
see, Knoxville.)

(By C. Il. Bartholomew, Division OF
Extension, University of Tennes
see, Knoxville.)
Tennessee in 1909 was third in the
number of colonies of bees among all
OF the states in the union. She does
not hold that record now. Her col
onies have been destroyed, partly by
that dreaded disease, foul brood, and
partly because the colonies have not
been protected from the Tennessee
winters.
On this subject of insulation, the
chief of the bureau Of entomology OF
the United States Department of Ag
riculture has said some things that are
worth the attention of every Tennes
see farmer.
Beekeepers have repeatedly claimed
that excessive insulation is even more
detrimental in winter than insufficient
insulation, because of the failure oil
the colony to warm up on bright days
To test this theory, colony was pack
ed, in the fall of 1915, with 16 inches
of sawdust on all sides, top, and bot
tom. Temperature records were made
at frequent intervals every day
throughout the winter and spring. The
colony remained in excellent condition
in every respect throughout the win.

possibility of manipulating the colony

seems clear. therefore. that beekeepers
need not fear any detrimental results
from abundant insulation

cow TESTING PROVES
POPULAR WITH FARMERS
This Is Explained BY the Fact That
Profits Increase-What Cow-Test-
ing Associations Do.

(By C. A. Hutton, Division OF Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.)
Where there are enough cows TO
justify the action on the part OF farm
ers, cow-testing associations are de-
sirable. Several communities are al
ready organized and have testers en-
ployed.
Conditions for a cow-testing assOcia-
ton are ideal when there are 400 cows
in about rs herds. Several Tennes-
see counties are coming up to this
standard.
A cow-testing association will do
much for any dairy community.
1t furnishes an exact record of pro-
duction of each cow in the herd, with
a record of the cost of feed consumed
and the net profit per COW. About one
third of the cows in Tennessee are
kept at loss. 1t enables one to weed
out the Improbable cows.
The records of production enable
one to feed more intelligently and
more economically. 1t is common
practice to feed all the cows in the
herd alike. Under these conditions
the poor cows will receive too much,
and the good ones will not get enough
The proper way is to feed each COW in
proportion to the amount OF milk she
gives. When this practice is adopted
it usually results in greater production
of milk at less cost for feed.
The tester is able TO advise with the
owner each month in regard to the
most economical feed to use, and also
to balance the rstions for the owner

ing cottonseed meal and other feed
stuffs in carload lots, thus effecting a
saving.
Contrasting associations stimulate
community breeding, exchange Of
bulls, and a spirit Of friendly rivalry
and foster a better social spirit in the
community.
II enables one to tell which are the
best cows from which to raise heifeI
calves
The cost Is q tr.Hs Is compared q

They Must 0bserVeSeveraIC Com

Protect Themselves
ALL GIRLS SHOULD Be STRONG
Health Specialist of the Division OF
Extension of the University of Ten
nessee, Knoxville, Sends Out Special
Letter-Also Puts Out General
Health Bulletin.

Have you tried sleeping with your
windows up, remembering the value OF
pure, fresh ARP is one question Mrs.
Lena Warner, health specialist of the
Division of Extension, University of
Tennessee. Knoxville, asks in a letter
sent especially to the canning club
girls of Tennessee. She then gives sew.
eral very well-known laws of health
which so few follow as they should.
81 want to compliment the club girls
on their good judgment concerning
their feet she continues.
Now, let us have word to say about
clothes. First, the majority wear the
sensible low-heel shoe, which enables
them to walk we'll and at the same
time protects the nerve centers of the
body.
by all means see that your shoes
are comfortable in length and breadth.
Do not depend upon any one but your.
self to decide this. II you will remem-
Der to keep your feet dry and legs
warm, many aches and pains will be
avoided that young girls of our age
are apt to have. The same advice |
would give you in regard to the whole
body, especially in winter. AS you
want outdoor life during these months,
you must be prepared. Heavy clothing
is not at all desirable. If your clothing
is too tight, you will not get warmth
from it. Select your underwear with
a little wool in it. See that the vests
have long sleeves. Avoid dressing too
warmly for indoors and always have
an extra wrap for outdoors. Sitting.
scantily clothed, in damp skirts and
wet shoes, has brought death to many
a young girl. In this way many catch
colds, develop pneumonia, tuberculosis
and other serious illnesses.
One thing, girls, We are quite CRATE
full for, and that is that Dame Fashion
has decreed we shall not draw in the
waist You not only have better fig
ures, more graceful carriage, but the
organs inside the abdomen and pelvis
retain their normal position. do not
now consider corsets harmful, for their
chief use is to give the skirts the
proper hang.
by all means, remember the teeth
TO keep them clean is first essential.
A pinch of common table salt or cook
ing soda is very good to use with the
tooth brush daily. Don't be afraid OF
the dentist. He Ia a faithful friend.
Pay him visit at least twice year.
Most diseases are preventable
through cleanliness. II we observe
the simple health laws, even when we
come in contact with filthy diseases,
we are not apt to contract them.
Last, but not least, know and be
true to yourself. Learn the great les
son OF self-control Cultivate desire
for knowledge Keep the mind and
body pure and clean"

Citizens of Weakiey County
Can Be Proud of the
Work They Did
DO IT THE GREENFIELD WAY
ANY Town Can Take the Leadership
and Can Conduct a Genuine Eduea'
tional OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TWO
day Chautauqua Sets the Standard
(By Charles A. Kefier, Director, Diyi
sion of Extension, University OF
Tennessee.D

IenneSSee.D
Weakley county, Tennessee, is work
ing out the problem of town-and-coun'
try unity. and November meeting in
Greenfield, an enterprising little town
of that county, marks a forward step
in community development. The
Greenfield preachers and the Green
field business men put their heads to-
gether, and with the assistance Of the
Greenfield women, planned and car
ried out two days Farmers Free
Chautauqua. The worst thing about
the affair was its name for in the
public mind the Chautauqua move
ment is largely matter of entertain
ment, while the Greenfield meeting
was in the best sense educational.
The preachers opened their church
es. and one of them presided, making
an admirable leader His church,
which seats five hundred people, was
crowded throughout the sessions. In
the mornings there was general pro-
gram for men and women, The after
noon was devoted to separate meet
ings for men and women, two church
es being used.
Throughout, there was inspiring mu-
sic, furnished by quartettes from coun-
try churches. The subjects discussed
were of the most practical nature;
Cooperation, good roads, live stock,
seed selection, diversified farming, the
relation of the town to the surround
ing community, extension work in az
riculture. the rural church, education,
crop rotation, soil building, canning
and corn clubs, civic Improvement and
rest rooms, home. school and church,
parent-teachers associations, eugen'
ics-a wide range, handled by men
and women who knew what they were
talking about. Two excellent ser
mons were delivered by visiting cler-
gymen, and the other speakers were
about equally divided between men
and women of the county and visitors.
An interesting feature of the Chau-
tauqua was the dinner; it was pro
vided by the business men and served
by the ladies' of the town. A big dou-
BILE store room was utilized and five
long tables with places for $50 guests
were filed more than twice each day.
The dinner was good example OF
what organization can accomplish
the great crowd was served quickly,
quietly and well.
Who was there? Everybody; the
town was full of yehices-autos, wag.
ons, buggies-hundreds of country
people had accepted the invitation OF
the churches and business men of
Greenfield,
And the best part of the occasion
was the get-together spirit every
where manifest. The merchants were
not trying to trap purchasers, the
preachers were not PROSECUTING, the
farmers were aloof, the women were
not "uppity"; all came to learn, to en-
Joy, AMI to know one another better.
II was a great success.
Let every town in Tennessee try it
the Greenfield way.
