very essential to supply green feed
daily. Freshly cut lawn clippings and
short pieces of any growing grain
crop, such as oats, wheat or any quick
growing crop. such as rape. make
splendid green feed. Where these
growing feeds are not available.
sprouted oats may be used and will
help materially. Where a hen is .-ept
with n brood of chickens and the
chickens confined to a small covered
pen, move this coop and pen every two
or three days To fresh grass and never
let the grass be killed or eaten down
where the run is placed. Provide fresh,
clean water daily and see that the re-
ceptaclcS are thoroughly cleaned and
the chickens never without water. The
water should be kept IN the shade In
as cool n place as possible. Using a
stone crock for watering fountains
will help 10 keep the water cool.
Where the chickens are confined TO
yards or have free range, shade
should be provided. Trees and low
shrubs make ideal shade, but If not
available corn patch or rows of sun
flowers viii help materially. Where
no growing crop or trees of any kind
are available il will pay TO put up an
artificial shade, making a framework
two or three feet high and covering
this with the branches of trees, weeds,
straw or any waste material that Will
furnish shade.

WSe4aGe>T% turers p rob a b | y
A42S reached the pres
ent site of Memphis on the MISSISSIPPI
pi. The French under La Sale built a
fort here about 1852. The English also
laid claim to this territory, including
II in the grant to North Carolina. 1t
was not until ITO that the first per-
manent settlement was made by James
Robertson and this was soon followed
by many other settlers from North
Carolina. They formed what they
called the Washington district. but
this was short lived as 1t was prompt
ly annexed TO North Carolina. In
1854 the inhabitants, indignant over
North Cardinals attitude toward
them, declared their independence and
formed the State of Franklin or Frank
land. AS this secession was not coun-
tenanced by North Carolina. for a
number of years a state of confusion
existed with two sets Of officers trying
TO govern. Meanwhile the settlement
suffered severely from hostile Indians
and from the Spanish, who still held
Louisiana, and controlled the Missis-
sippi river. In 1870 North Carolina
finally ceded this territory to the Uni
ted States. By 1896 the population. had
Increased to over 10000. so Ten
nessee was admitted as the sixteenth
state OF the Union.
At the outbreak OF the Civil war,
Tennessee Joined the Confederacy. In
1866 when the state was readmitted
to the Union, there was much disOr-
der during the reconstruction period.
This led TO the formation OF the Ku
Klux Khan, the influence of which
quickly spread throughout the South
ern states. This secret organization
took into its own hands the suppress
sion of crime and the administration
OF justice.
Tennessee contains 42,022 square

not until 1850 that the first authentic

'''' cot COUNTY FAIR.

| The Shenandoah County Fair thii
lyear which is to be held four days anc
flour nights, beginning September 18th
is to be the greatest in the history Of
Shenandoah County, and will possess
numerous features which will be I'm.
surpassed by any fair in the State, is
assured from the preparations which
have been made and the entries that
already have been received.
Three calf shows are to be on ex-
hibit, one from each of the Boys and
Girls Calf Clubs in the County-two
of them specializing on Holstein and
the other on Short Horn breeds. These
calf shows were one Of the leading at
fractions last year, and this year, a
greater number of entries have been
received, the management expecting
from sixty to seventy-five head.
The first day Of the fair will be
Children's Day, and on this day, any
child of school age in the entire State
will be admitted free. Governor Davis
has expressed his intention to come
and present the prizes to the members
Of the Calf Club winners on this day.
Second in interest to the calf show,
will be the hog exhibit. Last year the
Shenandoah County Fairs hog show
was second only to the State Fair at
Richmond, and this year all indications
point that it will be the largest N the
State, already more than four hundred
registered animals have been eli cI,a
Another feature which is exclua.,
in this section is an automobile show.
Practically every dealer in the Valley
will have cars on display, and all will
