Business Basis In
Selection of Farm

Many farmers, especially the
younger men, in moving from one
region to another, make serious err
rors in selecting farms, not because
their judgment is naturally poor, but
largely because they know only one
sci of conditions and are not able
to weigh accurately all the new fac
tors that must be taken into ac-
count, say specialists Of rhe Division
OF Extension University of Tennes-
see Here the science of farm man
asoinent is helpful, in that from the
farm management viewpoint the farm
is put on a business basis.
In doing this, however, the home
side O. the question must always be
kept in mind. The farm home and
the farm business are insparable. A
desirable farm, from q business stand
point, is nevertheless undesirable L
IL has no social or community adj
vnntages. On the other hand, desir-
able living conditions are of little
OF no advantage unless accompanied
by successful farm business.
farm hay have fine buildings,
good water supply, excellent roads
and other such assets, yet if the
sell is rocky, shallow, or naturally
infertile, so that its productive posi-
bilities are distinctly limited, there
will be no adequate income for en-
joying the other advantages. More
oN er, these physical limitations are
enduring, while the needed improve
ments, such as buildings and roads,
can be added as means are pro
vided.

A SERMONETTE

Kindness-while just about the
biggest word in the English language
after forming the basis probably
for the Sunday School lessons that
are studied in the primary depart
ment for first few years, is gradu-
ally lost sight of in the whirl OF
racing modernity.
Many people forget to be kind,
some wouldn't be kind unless sell
fishly So Few, but who need to
realize that not one of the least Of
the higher commands is BE We
kind, one to another"
Occasionally, as at Christmas time,
when good will, benighty, and bene-
ficency are afloat in the air, people
remember to be kind. In the middle
of August, when the extreme heat
has revelled nerves generally, or the
scorching sun has parched crops,
and discouraged farmers; when
everyone, more or less, feels slightly

not only to the point of raising pure
bred birds. but supplying them with
proper housing and feeding facilities
as well. 1t is fully realized that
there are three big essentials to sue
ss--good stock, correct housing and
proper feeding-and that the fulfill
ment of any one essential without
the other two, signifies failure.
The following pointers should be
studied closely by every poultry
raiser in the state:
Pure air is as necessary for fowls
as clean water and good feed. Hens
confined in a badly ventilated house
lose vitality.
To obtain the greatest production
not only should fowls be young but
they should be of a good purebred
laying breed.
Green feed helps to increase egg
production during the winter months.
Two extra eggs from each hen per
week spells profit,
Keep oyster shells, grit, charcoal
and plenty of clean drinking water
before the hens at all times.
The total profits of the flock will
depend largely on the elimination of
the producers.
Where scrub chickens once held
full swap on Tennessee farms, pure
bred fowls are now the acknowledged
leaders.
The success of your flock will de-
pend quite as much upon its comfort
as upon the feed you give it.
Do not wait until cold weather
before planning a suitable home for
your flock

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and iustre,
or when it fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused bysa lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade OF hair which is SO at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair SO naturally, so evenly.
that nobody can possibly tell It has
been applied. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies' with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful APP

of The extension service can help
YOU.
bologna bulls do not belong to
some recently discovered breed, but
have been with MS through the ages.
They are not only bulls without a
country, but without a breed No
breed will claim them. They cannot
be classified because there is no
class to them They fill no need
and serve no fruitful purpose.
bologna bulls are counterfeits
OF the male sex, kept to breed CON
tempt and dissatisfaction among
prospective stockmen. They are
leeches on the livestock industry,
parasitic agents of the greatest agri-
cultural industry, provokers of i'll
temperaments, disturbers of peace
and prosperity, wolves in sheep 8
clothing.
How many are there in Tonnes
see of these inderinable imposters of
the livestock industry? Since they
are classed as livestock when the
census taker comes around we have
no way of finding out how many
there are. However, each farmer
can put the test to his own herd
sire and learn whether he comes
under this class. If he does, sell
him to the butcher. He will do
more good as bologna sausage than
serving in the important rolls of

paigns to eliminate the bologna or

ty. Eliminate the scrub.
