In No Other Way Can the Dairy
Farmer Find Out His
Good Animals
THROW OUT THE BAD COWS
This Applies to the Man Who Has
Only Few Cows as Well as TO the
Farmer Who Has Many Cows and
Is Selling Milk.
(By H. f. Baker, Dairy Specialist,
Division Of Extension, University Of
Tennessee, KnoXyille)

(By H. f. Baker, Dairy Specialist,
Division of Extension, University Of
Tennessee, Knoxville)
Thousands of children in Europe are
dying from lack of milk and, as soon
as shipping tonnage is available, our
country is going to be drawn upon
more and more to supply this milk at
prices which will pay our dairy farm
ers to produce it, This market will
continue until the war ends, and until
the devastated countries can secure
dairy cows to supply the dairy prod
ucts needed. And where will they get
the dairy COWS? From America? AL
ready agents have been sent to this
country from some of the European
countries to arrange for the purchase
Of dairy cattle after the war. These
countries are going to want good
COWS, cows with records to show what
they arc, and they are going to pay
prices for them unheard of before.
The man who quits the dairy bust
ness now is sure to regret it, This is
a time above all others when dairymen
should study the business and use
every means to improve the quality
and production Of their herds. By all
means, they should use good bulls, not
merely registered bulls, because regis.
tration papers mean nothing unless
the bull has records of production
back of him. Every dairy farmer.
should make a special effort to raise
all the silage and legume hay needed
for his herd, and he should have some
kind of winter pasture, and certainly
the summer pasture should be i'm
proved.
In the Bradley county cow-testing
association, twelve herds produced
1914 pounds of fat and made a net
profit of $75279 more in May than
they did in June, 1917
Testing the cows pays.

PLANT RAPE AND KALE IN
GARDEN FOR CHICKENS

Rape and kale make winter green
feed for poultry. These should be
sown sufficiently early to get a good
start before the first frosts. The
ground should be plowed in July and
narrowed every two weeks, and the
seed sown late in August. Space in
the garden where early potatoes have
been harvested can be put to this use.

YOO CAN CONTROL MITES
AND LICE IN CHICKENS
Mites in the poultry house?

Mites in the poultry house?
Yes.
Well, they can be controlled by using
freely as a spray crude black oil on
walls and ceilings, and by painting
the perches freely with the oil. To
kill body lice, put pinch of blue oint
ment in the feathers of the chicken
Immediately under the vent. Immerse
feet and legs to the hooks in the black
oil, to rid your fowls of the scaly leg
mite. These precautions will mean
more eggs. Lousy hens seldom lay
eggs.-R. N, Crane, division of agri-

COURT OF APPEALS
REFUSES COOK PLEA

Atlanta, Nov. al W., sometimes
known as Handsome Bill' Cook con
victed accomplice OF Mrs Margaret
IIirsch in her attempt to extort $500,
900 from Asa G. Gambler, mayor Of
Atlanta, on o blackmail threat, will
very likely have to don the convicts
stripes and work the roads OF Geor-
gia, In addition to paying fine of
$1,000.
The court Of appeals has just hand
{ ed down a decision denying a new
trial to Cook and affirming the de-
cision of the Fulton superior court
in all particulars. The court holds
| that Judge Ben H. Hill, who tried the
case, did not err in refusing change
of venue; that he did not err in admit
ting the testimony of Forest Adair,
the principal witness for the prose
cution; that he did not err in his
charge to the jury; that no constitu-
tional question was raised by Cooks law
yers in their appeal
More than this, the court of appeals
goes so far as to declare that the evil
dence demanded verdict of guilty,
and hence It did not make much diff
ference how the Judge charged the
jury
Cook was sentenced by Judge Hill
to serve term of II months and pay
fine Of 81 900. this being the maxi
mum penalty provided by law for the
offense of attempted blackmail. Mrs.
Margaret Hirsch, his accomplice in
the plot, was tried separately after
Cooks trail, and was likewise found
guilty and sentenced to the maximum
penalty. Subsequently, however, on
the plea of her husband, who very
promptly divorced her, she was allow
ed to pay a fine of $500 on condition
that she would Immediately leave At
lanta, and her sentence in the state
prison farm was suspended. Cook in
the meantime succeeded after much
difficulty in making bond of $4,000
and has been out on bail awaiting the
outcome of his appeal to the court of
appeals.
