To mate with the ewes of your
sock be sure to have a purebred ram.
Select a ram from one of the medium
wooded early-msturing mutton breeds.
The Southdown, Shropshire, Hamp-
shire, and Dorset are in most popular
favor. You will do well to adopt, If
possible, the breed Of sheep that is in
favor In your community in order that
the entire lamb crop Of the commu-
nifty may be uniform. Select an &C
tive, vigorous ram from one to three
years old. See that he is symmet-
rical and evenly developed and is well
covered with firm flesh and dense
fleece. Be sure that he is strong and
straight in his legs
Do not permit the ram to run with
the breeding flock. Feed him enough
to keep him in vigorous condition.
After your flock has been estab-
lished one year or at the end Of each
succeeding year carefully Gull out
your eve flock. Sell all the old or

Turn Rabbit Pests
Into Profits

Fully 100000, 900 wild rabbits
are killed in the United States
every year according to estimates
made by the Biological Survey of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Many of them are
jack rabbits, the majority Of
which have not been utilized in
the past. If all the rabbits killed
were consumed they would re-
present between 200, 900 and 300
700 tons of valuable food, and if
proper measures were taken to
insure 1.-THE collection of skins.
these alone would have a value
of $40, 900, 900. The Biological
Survey has frequently been CALI
ed upon to help western farm
ers in coping with the rabbit pest.
In view of the probable economic
valve of rabbit meat and fur in
the coming few years, the ener-
giles of the farmers and ranch
men will be directed to the con-
seryation of this important re-
source. Already number of
establishments for collecting,
canning and shipping
rabbit meat are in operation in
western centers. AS in Austria
liza the transition of the wild rab-
bit in this country from its status
as a pest to source of profit, is
believed.

(By H. E. Baker, Dairy Specialist
Division of Extenaoa, 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 whore 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 are, 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 1t. 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 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 $752.79 more in May than
they did in June, 1917.
Testing the cows pays.

VELVET BEANS USED IN
FEEDING BEEF CATTLE

One pound of velvet bean meal or
velvet beans in pod is equal to one
half pound of cottonseed meal for cat
tie feeding.
Velvet beans are composed of dry
matter, S7.79o; crude protein, 14.9%;
carbohydrates, 51.7To; fat, $3.50. Vel
vet bean meal is supposed to be the
same since IT is usually made by
grinding the bean and pod together.
Velvet bean meal is sometimes adul-
terated, however, by adding pods that
come from beans that have been
threshed for seed or for hog feeding.
Therefore it is safest to buy the beans
in the pod. They can be purchased
more cheaply and as a result are a
more economic feed.-Carl G. Filler,
division of extension, University Of
Tennessee, Knoxville.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN.

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan will begin Sept. 70
and close October 10. The result
of the loan will be watched with
keen interest in Europe, not only
by ouriassociates in the war a.
gainst the Teutonic powers but
by our enemies. 1t will ssbe re-
garded by them as measure of
the American peoples support of
the war.
The Germans know full well
the tremendous weight and sig
nificance of popular support of
the war. of the people at home
backing up the Army in the field.
AS the loan succeeds our enemies
will sorrow: as it falls short they
will rejoice. Every dollar SUBJ
scribed will help and encourage
the American soldiers and hurt
and depress the enemies of A
merica.
The loan will be a test of the
loyalty and willingness of the
people of the United States to
make sacrifices compared with
the willingness of our soldiers to
do their part. There must be
and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage
and devotion of our men in Eu-
rope. Many of them have given
up their lives; shall we at home
withhold our money? Shall we
spare our dollars while they spare
not their very lives?-Dispatch
from Washington.
The above expresses the situa-
ton very concisely. If the
Fourth Liberty Loan is raised
with tremendous rally on the
part of the people, the Kaiser and
his bunch of man-slayers will re-
ceive an awful shock to their SEN
sibilities, if they have any. Ev-
cry dollar that you keep out of |
this Loan may mean the life of |
a soldier boy, and you should
assist in every way possible.
The boys are driving back the
enemy and in September will be
the supreme moment for you to
show that you are behind them.
Your dollars may save your boy
from the battlefield. Save and
stint in every possible way and I
on Sept. 18th be around with a
determined face and liberal
subscription for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan, which. when it shall
have been totalled with the mil
lions offered by others of like SEN
timent as yourself, it shall have
reached a sum which shall be so
astounding it will give the ene-
my pain in their chests. If
you keep out your dollars you are
simply prolonging the war, and
putting in more peril the lives of
thousands of brave young Amer
leans. Be real American and
help the boys.

Few writeups Of Hot Springs that have ever been published on any topic connected with this city have been more beneficial from an advertising viewpoint, nor more favorable in de- scriptiye than the one that is going the rounds of the press concerning the anticipated Improvements here by the government.
 A San Antonio paper has one, under the head of ITO Make National SpI. Hot Springs, Government Plan" The article says:
 The first National Park was the Hot Springs of Arkansas The reservation was created by Congress in 1882. for ty years before even the Yellowstone. which was the first scenic National Park. Naturally Hot Springs, whose waters are as healing as those of the most celebrated of the European spas, deserves an important place in the plans by which the National Park Service purposes to bring into their own the inimitable national parks oi America. In accordance with the5e purposes, Congress appropriated $l00,- GOO at the last session 10 prepare an architectural and landscape scheme tor making Hot Springs the National spa Of America.
 The drawings embodying these sug gestiOns are now on exhibition in tho Senate Office Building at Washington They transform the present unorgaH- i2ed National reservation, the hit or miss growth of many years, into af area of beauty and dignity, a spa 1T which Americans will find pleasuI, and recuperation amid surroundings of natural beauty and artistic charm The problem was difficult because the ground west of Hot Springs Noun
