Total Eclipse of the Moon

There will be total eclipse OF
the moon at IL O'Clock the night OF
January eth caused by the earth
passing directly between the sun and
the moon. The explanation il simple
enough. The moon il opaque and
does not give off any light Itself. but
shines by reflecting the light OF the
sun the same ns the earth does, so OF
course, when the moon Is shut OFF
from the light of the sun It il dark.
Turning the matter OF eclipse
around another way. suppose the
moon to be inhabited, what will be
their condition relative to the sun on
the 7th' Why. the sun will be in to-
tai eclipse TO them, will II not, by
reason OF the earth passing between
and shutting off the light7
And 80 while We will say that the
man In the moon is In the dark the
man In the moon may be saying the
same thing Of us at the same time.
Tn. eclipse will begin at II o'clock
Mt nigh, and II will bs we'll worth
while remaining up TO see II.

WHEN DOES CAPONlZlNG PAY!

by Richard N. Crane, Division of Elk.
tension, University of Tennessee.)
On many farms are cockere!s that
have escaped marketing and have de.
veloped a STACEY appearance, They
weigh from 212 to pounds. In many
localities buyers pay hen prices or less
for these chickens that are considered
shaggy.
In Tennessee we have an exception.
ally good market for spring chickens
v Weighing 11la to pounds, and be.
'ieve it would pay us to market cock
ere's under pounds rather thar to
caponize them. But when our cocker
els get beyond two pounds, md buyers
are not willing to use them at the
regular spring chicken price, it may
pay us to make capons of them and
carry them through the winter, dispos
ing OF them in the early spring al
roasting chickens. Capons generally
sell for the same price as turkeys.

BUY MORE LIVE STOCK
RATHER THAN MORE LAND
nv C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee, Knox
Vile

(By C. D. Lowe. Division OF Extension
University of Tennessee, Knox
ville)
That live stock pays on the farms oil
n 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 we're
taken as they lay along the road.
These farms were divided into three
groups according to the amount or live
stock kept. One-third of the farms
we're found to have over 20 head each
of cattle, or their equivalent Tin
amount of feed consumed) In hogs,
sheep or other productive live stock;
one-third had between IL and 20 head
each; one-third had less than IL head.
The heavier stocked farms returned
a profit for the year of $774 more than
those with the small amount of live
stock
Another community selected at ran.
dom showed nearly the same proper
ton. Live stock furnishes a way to
increase the volume of farm business
without increasing \the farm area
Through live stock much OF the poorer
grades of feed may be utilized to bet
ter advantage than by selling it, In
fact much roughage that is ordinarily
wasted can be made to give good re
turns. The manure obtained is essen
tial In maintaining soil fertility.
The above figures offer some food
for thought. If you are thinking OF
purchasing additional land, consider
first whether the purchase money
should not go into more live stock fol
the land you already own.
