To Do Well the Farmer Must Study

sbIe at the Short Course in Agricul-
ture at Knoxville.

In commenting upon the fact that
new era of agriculture is at hand for
East Tennessee, the editor of the Jour-
nal and Tribune, one of Knoxvilles
dailies, has established creed pos
sible Of adoption in any part of the
state.
After expressing his pride on the
section of the state in which his paper
is located, the editor says
NOW, beef cattle are bringing high.
er prices than ever before known in
the history of the cattle raising indus
try. 1t behooves every farmer to put
his lands to grass and produce dairy
cattle, beef cattle, or dual purpose an
imals The possibilities of dairying
are growing day by day in proportion
as the towns and cities increase IN
population, and if the dairymen will
but adopt scientific methods in the
production of milk and butter, orgaa-
fze contrasting associations In order
to weed out the boarding ladies' in
their barns and keep in touch with the
State College of Agriculture in order
to keep abreast of the dairying times,
their problems will have been solved
In the matter of raising beef cattle,
much can be accomplished through the
purchase of pure-bred sires of any OF
several of well-known breeds, incYud-
ing the Hereford, Shorthorn, Aberdeen
Angus and Red Polled, the dual pur-
pose animals being the milking strain
of Shorthorns and the Red Polled.
THE College of Agriculture of the
State University, through it's annual
short courses, offers exceptional op.
portunities to farmers to learn scien-
tific methods in the raising, feeding,
judging and selling of beef cattle and
these opportunities should not be over
looked, for the new era of agriculture
In East Tennessee is at hand

in Agriculture which is held at the
State University every winter is we'll
placed. Every state that is building
up strong agriculture is doing so
through its Short Course. This method
of instruction reaches the farmers who
desire immediate assistance. The
courses are planned to give that aid.
This years Short Course has for its
dates Januar. to February 10. Rail
roads have made special rates.

GRADE THE FARM PRODUCTS.

If farmers in Tennessee are to make
the most from their farms, they must
grade the products they put upon the
market, according to w. A. Schoenfeld
specialist in marketing and rural or,
ganization. of the Division of Exten
sion of the University of Tennessee
Knoxville.
He points out that at a visit which
he made to Chicago he found Arkan
sas sweet potatoes competing with
Tennessee potatoes At that time the
potatoes from Tennessee were moi
graded. Every size possible was in the
containers from this state. The Arkan
sas potatoes were selling by grades
as follows: Prime, 80 cents; Choice
rs cents; Jumbo, go cents The un
graded Tennessee potatoes were sell
ing for IS cents a bushel It would
have paid the shippers of these pota
toes to grade.
This corresponds with the shippers
experience around Gleason. When they
first started the shipments severa
years ago they got a price of $1.0t
q bushel in bulk in the car
Now they find that they must grade
their products to sell them
The buying public demands we'll
arranged products, and the farmer
who heeds the signs of the times will
watch thn marknta

Figure 4 shows the high heel. Such
condition takes away the elasticity
from the animals action and results in
several bone diseases. 1t may be a
part of the animals natural makeup,
or it may be caused from neglect of
the animals feet.
A knowledge of these points about
farm animals is needed on every farm.
Every farmer should be studying them.
If possible, some member of the fam
lily should attend the annual Short
Course in Agriculture held at the Col
legt of Agriculture, University of Ten,
nessee, Knoxville. This years course
begins January /.

The value of a horse is in his feet
Poor feet make a horse valueless in
proportion to the weakness of the feet.
Study these pictures.
Figure 1 is given as an example of
good pastern for the fore limb. The
pastern is that portion for several
inches just above the hoof
Figure 2 is given as the example for
good pastern on the hind limb.
Figure shows low heel. This de-
feet is peculiar to the fore feet, and
because most of the weight of the
body falls on these feet, the low heels
are easily bruised.

Thinking" ON THE a."
Side Lights on the Great Strsst Rail-
way Strike In New York.

thinking" on the IL" is the pastime
of the day. At least so it would seem
if the attitude of the average strike
breaker were to be taken as a critic
rion Most Of the strike breakers are
doing it for the lark plus the S. they
collect for days whack at unionism,
says the New York Evening Sun.
UnshOrn, unkempt, unsoaped, are
some of them. Not few would be di-
rected to the door marked Exit If
they were to apply for jobs at the In
terborough Offices in time of peace.
But it's wartime, and everything goes
They know how to swing open the
gates and yank the bell rope and glare
belligerently whenever a union picket
gets fresh"
That's all the lnterborough requires
of them. Some of them don't know
whether the train is bound for South
Ferry or kalamazoo. That isn't their
concern. It's up to the passenger. If
they happen to catch a glimpse Of a
station sign they'll call out the street,
but If they flash past without seeing
it, why, the passenger will have to
guess where he's at or the fink" will
guess for him and growl out some
street that he thinks the train is at,
but which MAY really be three miles
along the way.
Some Of them looked as though
they'd enjoy crap game more than
banging open gates. Others looked as
though they had at one time or an
other come into disagreeable encoun-
ter with the policemen with whom
they were now In pleasant confab.
They had the most nondescript uni
forms-just ordinary clothes, extraor-
binary at times, because, as in enc in
stance, khaki trousers were topped by
blue shirt and red cap and green tie
and low cut shoes. And in this particu-
lar "fnk's" lips rolled cheap cigarette.
Of course the sign prohibited smoking.
But it's wartime, and everything goes.

SERVICE" but has not advanced the
wages of coal miners since the 1913-14
troubles. "There Is no talk of strike"
Mcclellan said. But the fact that the

not all the men desire. They feel their
