TENNESSEE RANKS
THIRD in DAIRYING

Columbia, Tenn, Dec. 2i.-Some
of til, most interesting facts pertain
ing To the dairy industry in Tennes-
see we're revealed at the meeting of
county agents, recently held at
Knoxville. 1t was found that there
are only three states in the union
ahead of Tennessee in the dairy in
dustry, and that during the past year
the Volunteer state has made rapid
strides toward the top of the lad
der.
1t was found that in Maury coun-
ty there are more record cows than
in any county of the state, and that
dairying in Maury county has made
wonderful record during the past
twelve months. Marshall county has
likewise made rapid strides, and il
is said this is largely due to the
work of the cow testing association
in that county. Marshall county now
has two official COW testers regularly
employed, and through their efforts
dairy cows are required to come up
to certain standard, if they are re
tanned for dairy purposes.
Shortly after the first of the yea1
the dairymen, and those interested
in the dairy industry in Maury coun-
ty will meet in Columbia for the
purpose of organizing a cow testing
association for this county.

Proper Feeding Brings Top Prices
For Tennessee Hogs

Information secured by the Bureau

southern hogs will command prices
as high as those paid for hogs from
the corn belt if they are properly fed
and handled.
Twelve carloads of hogs were re-
ceived from single Tennessee own
er at the same stockyards. These
animals were of a distinctly south

Put Business Into Farming

In almost all lines of business the
month of January is the time for in
ventories and planning for the poll
cies of. the coming year. We farm
ers have never realized the full val
lie Of strictly business methods on
the farm. We know too little about
what courses of our own income nets
us most. At the end of the year we
know so little about where the leaks
were in our various Operations-so
little about the real business side of
our years work that it is hard to
plan ahead with intelligence.
Our slogan over the county this
month is put Business into Farm
ing"
This week l have been taking in.
ventories and leaving with the
farmer very simple and convenient
system of accounts. want 30 farm
ers to begin this month to realize
upon their farming as business as
we'll as an industry. One, farmer
visited this week, Mr.. Ben Alley, has
been keeping a record of his farm
business the previous year. Mr.. AL
ley says 1t lends a new interest to
the farm work. He can tell where
his labor is going. He can see what
lines of his business pay out. He
can see where his leaks are. And so
the coming year can give more eff
fort to those lines that net him most.
Any other business in the world, if
run with as poor business methods
as most of us run our farms, would
go to the bottom in six months.
That is one of the several reasons
why it is so hard for us to make the
farm pay out now.
Let US think in terms of putting
business into farming. Ours is one
of the basic industries of the nation.
Without permanent agriculture our
national life SUFFERS We are oblig-
ed to make it go. Ours is business

MARKED GROWTH IN DIARYING
SHOWN IN SOUTHERN STATES

In the Southern States the work
conducted by the Dairy Division,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, to promote dairying and the con-
sumption of dairy products has shown
marked results The efforts last
year were directed largely twoard in
creasing the use of milk and diary
products on the farm through cam
paigns for cows on every farm, and
improving farm diary products by
and in farm kitchens. In Louisiana
274 cottage-cheese demonstrations,
207 butter making, demonstration
on milk products were made, and 26
meetings were held. AS a result, g.
698 families were reported as using
more milk. ITS cows were brought
in where there were none before, "a
boys and girls clubs were organized,
and much improved diary apparatus
was purchased.
In South Carolina the activities re-
suited in the increased use of milk in
1894 families and in the purchase of
rs family cows. Sixty demonstrations
were given in butter making and 3S
in making other diary products. The
work IN Mississippi resulted in placing
1922 family cows in IL counties and
in the purchase of 2,040 pieces of i'm
proved diary equipment. Dairy clubs
were organized in II counties, As
meetings were held, and 76 demon.
STATIONS were given.

WHEN ANDY LEWIS FOUGHT
CHIEF CORNSTALK
G. Western Newspaper Union.

The battle Of Point Pleasant on
September 10, 1874, was the first "all-
American" battle ever fought on this
continent Europeans had taken part
In all important engagements before
French and Indians against British
and Americans. But when Andy Lewis
and his horderers bstled with Chief
strictly native affair.
Lewis was born in Ireland, but he
had come to this country while still
a child, and he was no less an Amer
lean than the frontiersmen he led. He
fought with George Washington In the
French and Indian war and he became
one Of the greatest leaders of the CO.
lonial troops. He was six feet two
inches tall and powerful.
Lewis was chosen by Lord Dunmore
in 1774 to lead a picked body Of men
against the Shawnees while Dunmore
attacked them from another direction.
Chief COrnstalk knew the two armies
were coming and decided to defeat one
before the other could Join it--a ia
vorite trick Of Napoleon.
The Shawnees attacked Lewis army
early one morning Lewis had taken
out his pipe when the first shot was
fred He coolly finished lighting his
pipe ard then gave the orders to his
men, who rushed to meet the Indians.
Both sides fought "Indian-fashion,"
dndglng from tree to tree and taking
advantage of every bit of cover. The
fsntng was at a close range and in
the. smoke-flled forest frontiersman
and Indian came hand to hand-toma-
hawk against hunting knife.
Late in the afternoon the Indians
gave way, but there was no rout.
Cornstalk was too good a general for
that and the Americans paid dearly
for every foot of ground they won.
That night Lewis held possession OF
the battlefield but he had won it at a
terrible COSTS men killed and 40
wounded. Andy Lewis and his Dor
derers had Won the greatest Indian
battle in early American history.
Andy Lewis did not have 4 chance
to make name for himself IN the
War Of the Revolution which soon fol,
lowed He was passed over for gen
erals of less ability and he died III
1870, an embittered, broken-heartcd
old man. The fate Of his opponent,
Cornstalk, had also been sad one.
In lit he came TO a fort on the Ohio
on friendly mission. He was arrest
ed and thrown into prison. While
there the great Shawnee leader was
trea cherodsly murdered by mob Of
soldiers IN revenge for the death OF a
com rads WHO had been killed by In
dams.
