Eggs Bring Premium

Eggs from the Pacific coast in lar1 amounts were first shipped across thi continent to the New York city marke two years ago. Now they are bringing 1
 premium of from l to cents, accord
 ing to market quotations.
 That this is due to the strict gradini
 pra cticed by the shippers of t1e far weS is the belief of men in the department c' agriculture. The reputation for caretu grading which the westerners have at
 tained in other products shipped east Ina! spread to include eggs.

OF SHEEP KILLED
EVERY FARMER WHO SUFFERED
FROM RAvAGES OF CANNES. 4
FULLY COMPENSATED.
BALANCE FOR THE SCHOOL FUNDS
Surplus of Around $4,000 Will Be Left
for That Purpose-Objeet For
Which Law Was Passed Has Been
Attained in the County.

AS forecasted in The Herald the
owners of sheep that were killed dur
ing the year by dogs in this county,
will be paid damages to the full
amount of their proven claims. Trus-
tee j, Ross Burns and Deputy Mitch
ell are today paying these claims.
There are altogether about twenty-five
claims filed for the loss of sheep
through the ravages of dogs and they
aggregate around $3.50, an average
to the claim Of $50.
Since the dog tax in Maury county
yielded during the past year, the first
of its operation, about $4,000, there
will be after paying commissions, a
balance of over $4,000, which will go,
under the law, to the county school

Mr.. Ridley has no less than $50 acres
of red clover on his place this year
| Every acre of it is a fine stand, due
largely to the use Of finely ground
lime rock and also to the splendid
condition in which he keeps the soil.
Mr.. Ridley plans to save every acre
Of this crop for seed. He has been
one of the largest growers of clover
seed in the county in the past, but il
the yield should be good this year he
will break all Of his former records.
The first crop of clover will be saved
for hay, a hurculean task, for it
ought to average around two tons at
least to the acre. Saving something
like 400 tons of hay is going to be
a big job, but Mr. Ridley is accustom-
ed to doing big things on his nearly
1000 acre farm and is not appalled, at
the magnitude of the undertaking.
The second crop is saved for seed.
Since elements do not often damage
the seed crop there will be much more
time for this task According to Mr..
Ridley il is not every prospect that
pleases in growing clover seed. In
other words there are seasons when
practically no seed is made. This was
the case last year But with favorable
conditions Mr.. Ridley ought to har
vest 1000 bushels of seed as a mini
mum.
This seed is all immune from dis
ease, the original seed having been
developed at the East Tennessee EXpe-
riment station of the University of
Tennessee. Mr. Ridley was furnished
few seed from this and he has con
stantly increased the amount until
now he enjoys large and increasing
patronage for the disease resisting
seed But whether he makes seed or
saves any hay Mr.. Ridley says that
red tlover crop is always profitable in
the benefits it gives the soil

FORMER RECORDS WERE SMASH
ED WHEN FoRTY-FlvE CAR
LOADS SHIPPED OUT.
HALF AS MANY MORE LOCALLY
Not Less Than 1000 Mules Were on
the Streets of the City and Total
Sales Were Not Far From LOO,
Making New High Mark.

All former records for number OF
mules handled, for the aggregate
money value of the sales and for ship
ments through the Columbia Stock
Yards were broken in Mondays mule
business. This was predicted in The
Herald yesterday.
At noon today forty car loads OF
mules had been loaded for shipment
at the Columbia Mule Company's
stock yards and it was estimated that
there would be five or may be six car
leads more to go out before night.
Not less than fOrty-fve carloads viii
be shipped as a result of Monday s
business.
At twenty-five mules to the car, this
means 1925 mules going out by rail.
road. This compares with thirty-fve
car loads the first Monday Of Deem
Der or S75 mules and forty car loads
that went ont in November or 900
mules
The average value of the mules ship
ped today is equal to and probably in
excess Of the avearge ever paid here
before. 1t was estimated by conserva-
tive buyers that the mules shipped
nom here cost on an average around
$500 head. But even reducing that
to S2T5 a head and the magnificent to-
tai of 100000 would be obtained.
That of itself is equal to the entire
volume Of business done a month ago.
1t is estimated that not more than
tWo-thirds of the mules that changed
hands in Columbia on first Monday
are SHIPPED out Many were purchased
here yesterday by farmers and by
county dealers and will not be shipped
This would mean that more than 500
mules were bought and sold here Mon
day that did not leave the county.
They would be worth around $500
head or an aggregate of not less than
S150~s~This means"that the mule bust
ness of the Columbia market will run
around $45O,O00 for the first Monday
Of the year.
