Ireland First Country to
Require SurnameS; Here
Is What Some of Them Mean

The fact is not generally known
that Ireland was the first country in
modern Europe to enforce the adop-
ton of surnames by law. The act
prescribing their general use was
passed more than 100 years before the
Anglo Norman invasion, whereas sur
names did not come into general use
in England until the days of Queen
Elizabeth, nor in Wales till late in the
seventeenth century.
There are some interesting mean
ings attaching to the most well-known
Irish names. Here are few, with
the curious changes of spelling that
have come about since the names first
originated:
Murphy came from OATurphy, Nor
phey, and Morphew,- meaning "superi-
or"
Kelly came from O'Kelly, Kiely,
Keeley, meaning "for war"
OConnors is derived from Connors,
Conerty, meaning ''helper"
Dougherty from O'Doherty. Doherty.
Daughaday, meaning destroyer
All Irish names at the first stage in
their history had 90 = before them, the
| first change consisting of dropping
that co. 1t will not be necessary,
therefore, to repeat the name with the
90" before it.
Sullivan was originally Sullifant and
Sullivant, meaning "quick-sighted."
ODonnell and Mcdonnell and all
combinations Of that name were DON
aid, Daniel, Dona, meaning dark
chief"
NolOney was ONullowney. Meloney,
Mullany meaning Thoughtful"
Mccormack was O'Cormac, McCor-
mac Mccormick, meaning "son of the
CROWN"
Flynn was Flann, meaning red"
Flannigan was Finnegan, meaning
| druid"
Boyle was Boylan, Boland. Bolan,
Boylin, meaning benign
O'Brian was Bryan, Bryant, Brlnes,
Bryon, meaning "anthor."
Brady was McBrady, meaning "ship
captain
Macauley was 0'Cewlew, McGawly,
McAuly. McAuliff, Cawley, meaning
"echo," or literally, "son of the rock"

BEES NEED PROTECTION
ON TENNESSEE FARMS
Government Has Found That Hives

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, tie
chief of the bureau of entomology OF
the United States Department or 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 OF
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

seems clear. therefore, that beekeeper'
need not fear any detrimental results
from abundant insulation.

A COUNTY THAT Is
BOOSTING ITSELF
Sees In a FuIly-Deveicped Farm Life
the Permanent Prosperity
1t Desires.
(By Harry B. Potter, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee

(By Harry B. Potter, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee,

The boil weevil hit some counties in
West Tennessee pretty hard this year
Those who work will. cotton all of the
time say that the boil weevil will come
next year harder than it did this year
That is history
Every part of Tennessee has its boil
weevil-some evil that comes when
the one-crop system OF farming is fol
lowed. 1t may be a weed pest, and
again it may be some insect. But evil
follows a system of farming that tears
down the land.
West Tennessee presents to us a
county that is coming back, that Is
building for the future. An active mer
chant of that county, seeing that on
farm prosperity depends his prosperity,
says some things in full-page adver
tisement in the county papers that, if
looked at in the light of conditions in
any county in Tennessee, may be ap-
piled by every reader of this column,
The page is headed "Hardeman COun-
ty On Top" And then the page goes
on to say:
Experience is the best teacher, but
are we going to sit idly by and get this
experience, or are we going to take
advantage of the other fellows eXpe-
rience?
What To Do-Study the weevil, get
bulletins concerning the weevil and in,
form yourself what is the very best
thing to do We have a few bulletins
and will have more. Ask for them or
write the College of Agriculture, Knox
vile, Tennessee, or Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, d. G.
What To Do Now-Disk your cot
ton stalks Immediately and turn them
under completely. Sow wheat as a
soil protection and for money crop
next year. Destroy the winter home
of the weevil by burning weeds along
roadside, ditch banks, fence rows, in
thickets and around stumps.
What To Do Later-With the boil
weevil to fight, you can not successful
ly grow as large acreage of cotton as
| before. Prepare to substitute other
crops for some of cotton next year.
Produce on your farm what you eat,
aud some to sell the town fellow.
Have a good garden, by all means.
Get a start in live stock, poultry, hogs,
cbaan Onutc and paftIp
STOCK Raising-Hardeman County
is naturally a stock-raising county, be-
ing providentially blessed with fine
pastures and streams for watering pur-
poses. However, we are getting too
many different breeds OF cattle and
hogs. We should select the best all
round hog and best breed of cattle,
both for beef and milchers. Ia doing
this we will enhance the value of our
stock and increase our selling power,
as cars loaded with the same breed 81
ways bring more on the market"

In the lower Yang-ts# #Kiang and the
