July Noting.

. 4
Tennessee fowls begin molting dur
ing July and continue until November.
Results Of observations as compiled by
use of the trap nest have proved that
early molting hens produce fewest
eggs.
Pullets hatched early will lay dur
ing the fall and early winter Heavy
producing hens will continue to lay
antil November. The deep yellow in
the legs of the best laying hens will
fade considerably as the laying season
advances. Great width between the
pelvic bones also is noticeable in the
biggest producers. The bones also are
pliable. There is also great width be-
lween the keel and these bones.
Usually on the best hens this distance
win be the width Of the hand.
The spread between the pelvic bones
of the smaller breeds, such as Leg
horns, Is about the width of two and il
half fingers. In the larger strains as
Plymouth Rocks the spread is about
the width of three or more fingers.
Hens in any strain having this quali-
tication should be carried over for use
in the breeding pens.
The early molting, yellow legged
hens sSould be marketed during July,
August and September. the time when
their laying period is most likely to
end.
With corn selling at $2.25 a bushel,
and other feeds equally as expensive,
the few eggs that light producing hens
lay from July 15 until January 10 will
not Offset the feeding cost. Further
more, the room they will occupy can
be more profitably used IL early hatch
ed pullets are kept In their space.
Pullets that develop slowly should
be sold at the time cockerels are placed
on the market. Only strong, vigorous,
early hatchetl pullets should be kept
for egg producers. A flock thus pick
ed, kept in comfortable house, and
well fed, will produce the maximum.
Otherwise vitality, production and
profits will be low

Out around New Hope charch. be-
yond Gravel Hill. there is kind Of
soil which goes by the name of shell
dirt" and bald knob dirt" When it
rains out there all the people can do
is to 20 to bed until it dries off. The
country is all right, and the people
are still better than that-but the
mud! deliver me!

The farmers are beng blessed With
ideal crop-gathering weather, which
is allowing them to save everything
without the loss of even bundle OF
fodder. We should remember to be
thankful for such splendid weather,
and just forget that crops are little
short and look forward with hope for
better crop next year. The man
who never grumbles and never gives
up, but who keeps his face turned
toward the sunrise of tomorrow, is
the man who always manages some
way or other to meet his obligations.

Specialist Gives Much lntcreetina In.
formation in Regard to Breeding Up
Flock and Caring for it During Late
Summer.

(By r. n. Crane, Poultry Specialist
Division of Extension, University OF
Tennessee)
The earliest matured cockerel that
shows the most vigor, that feathers
first, and is disposed to fight, is nearly
always the best breeder, and should
be retained.
The cockerel Should have strong,
understanding apart legs. He should
have strong back, be wide across the
shoulders, and back to the hips. He
should have deep, full breast, short
neck, short blocky head, medium sized
comb, and strong, bright eyes. This
type of .cockerel is easily kept fat, ana
will transmit this quality to his off
spring.

vitrifled Tile.

Many things said of concrete also
can be said of the vitrified tile, ma
terial out of which most efficient
silo can be built. Initial costs vary
very little.
This type will last Indefinitely, will
resist storms if the tile is properly re-
lnforccd and will deteriorate' very lit
tie from temperature fluctuations.
Inner walls, however, from this type
Of silo, sometimes are left with jags
underneath which air pockets form as
the silage settles and hangs. This can
be avoided, though, by using precau-
tion in the construction of the inside.
No prospective builder will make a
mistake in selecting a vitrified tile
silO.

Stave Silos.
Many manufacturers have made a
speciality Of stave silos, and have given
them wide advertisement because Of
cheapness Of construction, and of a
patented joint door fitting.
Its low cost, and ease of erection
have made it the most widely built
type. All Of the firms selling stave
silos have good ones, but the patented
door feature has greater value as
an agents talking point than it has
FOR the preservation of feed.
The stave silo keeps ensiage well,
but its principal disadvantage is the
fact that its life Is short. Its useful
ness, however, can be prolonged by
the frequent use Of paint, and the
Tightening Of guys and hoops. Woods
to be used In construction which give
the longest service are mentioned in
order: red wood, cypress, Oregon fir,
and Southern yellow pine.
The wooden hoop silo, two types Of
which are in use, is the cheapest. One
type Is constructed with oak or elm
hoops to which matched tongue and
grooyed boards are nailed from the in
side. The inner wall thus Is made
smooth, uniform and air tight.
The other type is built with rough
lumber nailed to the hoops. Inside OF
the barrel Is then covered either
with wooden or metal lathing, to which
one-half or three-fourths inch of plas-
ter is applied.
Both Of these types, IL properly con-
structed, have essentials Of good silos,
to-wit: they exclude air, and retain
moisture; have smooth perpendicn-
lar; and sufficient resistance to with
stand inside pressure and outside wind
force. Their life varies from eight to
fifteen years.
Farmers frequently choose one Of
these types because they have an
abundance of wood, the cost of which
Is therefore much less to them. The
total cost, however, depends upon the
size. Under present prices the price
ranges from S1.50 to So for each ton
capacity

ROCK HILL TO BUILD
TWO NEW SCHOOLHOUSES

Rock Hill, S. c., July 2S.-Two ad
ditional school buildings, a grammar
school for white children, and pub
lie school for negroes, will be erected
in Rock Hill within the near future.
according to announcement made to-
day by DR.. Myron Sandifer, chairman
of the board of trustees for the Rick
Hill school district. The buildings
will be erected with funds obtained
through the recent sale of school
bonds in the sum of $4,000.
Plans for the school buildings are
now being drawn up by local archi-
tect. The cost of the proposed build
ings has not yet been determined. The
site for the grammar school for white
children, which will be located in the
western section of the city, was pro-
claimed last week. Work on the
proposed buildings will not be started
before the early part of the coming
year, as the prevailing high prices
of building material are practically
prohibitive. The trustees expect to
see a decline in the cost Of materials
within the next six months. The
buildings, however, will probably be
completed during the early part of
next summer and will be opened for
the fall term of 1920.
At present Rock Hill has no public
school for negroes. fact which the
trustees of the Rock Hill school dis
trict have been lamenting for some
time. The negro children of Rock
Hill at present are being educated
by denominational institutions. An
additional grammar school for white
children is badly needed here. as the
enrolment of pupils during the past
year was so large that the schools
were badly crowded

by former President Taft, officials of
several Southern states and other ma

public here today by the National AS

Patriotic citizens throughout the
country feel the shame which lynch
ings have cast upon the nation but
they have assumed partial response
hility for this shame by their silence
and their acquiescence." said the ad-
dress. The time has now come when
citizens OF the United States can no
longer contemplate without protest
the setting at naught of the funda-
mental principles upon which their
citizenship is based
The address recounts that in
1918 no less than 67 persons were
done to death without trial or any
process of law and declares that it
is well known that the innocent, with
the guilty. suffer cruel infections OF
mob violence" A congressional in

Several saloon keepers who were

WILSON SAW NO
PRISONER BADLY USED
President Denies She Reported Bru-
tality Practiced on American
Soldier.

Washington, July 2S.-Presiden
Wilson, in letter to Representative
Dallinger, Republican, of Massachu
sets, characterized as entirely in
accurate" a recently published state
ment by John w. Kehoe, a hospita
superintendent of the knights of Co
lumbus, that Mrs. Wilson obtained
personal evidence in Paris of bruta
treatment of American military pris
oners.
A dispatch from New York quoted
Mr.. Kehoe as saying that Mrs. Will
son, while at base hospital No. 81
was beckoned to the cot of soldier
who displayed numerous welts on
his arms and back" and that she re-
ported this to the president with the
result that 1.-The entire guard staff
were brought up on charges and re-
moved"
In the correspondence with the
president, given out by Mr.. Dallinger,
the latter quoted from the newspaper
account and asked for additional in
formation so that he might 'learn
from the war department the punish
ment meted out to those guilty"
The president replied as follows:
my Dear Mr.. Dallinger: The news
paper article to which you refer in
your letter to me Of July 21 was en-
tirely inaccurate. Mrs. Wilson saw no
evidences of violence on the patient
whom she met in base hospital No.
81, and her inquiries brought out the
fact that whereas one of the prison
ers used by American army in Paris
had been delivered over to them in a
very bad condition, the conditions
had been rapidly corrected, and such
harsh treatment as had been practiced
in one or two instances had been
promptly checked.
Every sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson"
With the correspondence Mr.. Dal-
linger gave out a statement to the eff
feet that he could not reconcile the
presidents references to prisons with
the recent testimony of General
March, chief of staff of the army,
showing conditions rivaling that of
Siberian prison camps"
