GREED YOUR COWS TO FRESHEN
IN THE FALL.

(By C. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
There are several advantages in
having the cows fresh in the fall of
the year instead of in the spring.
There is more time on the farm for car
ing for the cows and her products dur
ing the winter months, as farm work
Is not SO pressing at this season.
Cows will give better yield q
milk than if they freshen in the spring.
If they are properly cared for ans fed
they will milk we'll when fresh; then
when grass comes in the spring it
helps to keep the milk flow, so that
the fall-fresh COW will milk better
throughout the year than the one that
freshens in the spring. The cows will
be dry during the hot summer months
when pastures are short and flies bad.
More attention can be given to caring
for the calves, and they will be ready
to turn on pasture in the spring when
grass comes
There is more demand for milk and
butter during the winter months, and
the price is higher than during the
summer. If cows are bred SO as to
freshen in the fall they will give bet
ter cash returns from the sale of their
products.

Labor Not Scarce In New York.

In report just issued by the state
industrial commission it is stated that
the scarcity Of labor in New York
state, which has been so much dis.
cussed, is more apparent than real.
The report says the labor market only
needs readjustment. In some indus
tries workers are being laid off be-
cause of the difficulty in getting raw
material, while in other. places there
has arisen a cry for just this sort OF
labor.

saw man who trudged along a road,
Footsore and weary with the soil of 1t
And well nigh spent with all the mol
Of 1t.
With sagglng knees that wobbled as he
strobe,
He whipped his tagging spirits with a
goad
OF will which drove him through the
broil of 1t,
To do his bit through all the toll of IT.
To do his bit beneath his irksome load.
But one there came with joy a part of
him,
A merry lad, who whistled, blithe and
gay,
Who whistled clear with all the art OF
him,
And called, I'm help you with your
load today.
VI help you" oh, the hungry heart Of
Who heard that comrades voice along
the way.

the collection OF taxes ON your house

city can sell n lien on property hav-
ing unpaid and overdue taxes. For
merly tho city actually sold such
property and used the proceeds of the
sale to satisfy the taxes. But this
oppressive law was changed. 80 that
now we sell what IL known as a tax
lien on the property OF delinquent
Taxpayers, and receive from the pur-
chaser the amount OF tho tax and
accrued interest. We sell these liens
at auction TO tho person offering to
cherge tho taxpayer tho lowest rate
~ interest, and tho law permits him
TO put In n bid as high as twelve per
cent, running until the amount ls
paid. A tax lien IN like n mortgage,

cages. bonds or liens OF any sort. It
IN easy TO SEQ how readily the city
could got rid OF tax lien on New
York Central property bearing inter-
est as high, perhaps, as twelve per
cent, and payable before any bonds
or other liens OF the railroad.
