tneSe eulIorS represent some SuNEIJ,t,",
readers the results form pretty gen
eral test OF national opinion.
In their remarks accompanying their
replies many of the editors expressed
1t as their opinion that the oppos ton
of their communities to the abolition
Of tobacco was based to some extent al
least on the damage such a change
would do to the. business interests ot
the community. This was particularly
true in the tobacco growing states and
centers where there were large tobacco
plants.
But when the extent of the business
involved in the allied interests OF the
tobacco trade is considered. as above
briefly outlined, It is clear that there
is hardly a section OF these0rnrry that
would not be affected directly or in-
directly by abolishing tobacco.

Mr.. Terry Alternately
Selmer, Tennessee.
Dear Sir
Knowing your interest in
county agent work, | am writing
you relative to some of the ac-
tivities of the county agent in
Madison cotnty.
This agent-Mr. Judd Brooks,
has been on the job for the past
five years. He is paid Jointly by
the School Board, the County
Court and the Division of Exten-
sion. His work with the boys
through the schools, the making
of the school a community center,
community rallies held in nearly
every neighborhood with the
school as the center, the rallies
being cooperative with the School
forces, the Farmers Organiza-
tions and the University of Ten
nessee, the club work, corn, pig.
calf, etc., all done with the school
as a center, has been an aid to
the school interest Of the county.
/ think the County Superintend-
ent-Mr. w. A. Malone. will bear
me out that this work has been
of much benefit to the school in
terest.
About 125 boys have each year
been enrolled in club work, Yields
of corn as high as las bushels per
acre have been made. At the
completion Of four years success
full club work. the boys have
been awarded Certificates from
the Division of Extension Uni
versity of Tennessee.
Among other lines of work sue
cessfully carried on has been
Field Demonstrations with corn,
cotton, alfalfa, clovers, etc. Sew
eral good fields of alfalfa are a
direct result of county agentwork.
Demonstrations in terracing,
pruning orchards, spraying ETC.,
have been beneficial. An orchard
interest has been started and sew
eral men are making coed money
from their orchards. Livestock
of all kinds and wool have been
shipped comparatively to st. Louis
and Nashville markets.
Probably one of the greatest
pieces Of work done has been
with livestock. Four years age
the Peoples Savings Bank OF
Jackson, at the solicitation OF
the County Agent, placed twenty
purebrei Duroc gifts with the
club boys under a contract that
the boys give one pig to the
bank at a good value and pay the
balance in money. Other banks
became interested and POLAND
China and Hampshire hogs ,anc
sheep have been brought into tht
county. The result is a very
marked Improvement in the live
stock Of the county.
Probably | shall later write yol
of the work in other counties.
Yours very truly,
H. T. NICHOLS,

J. p. rREsTLE BEING REDEckEp
10000 Feet Of Structure Expected 90
be Completed BY July 10

ogden--About 10000 feet of the ga
600 feet OF the trestle Of the Southern
Pacific company across the Great Salt
Lake win be redecked by July 10, ac-
cording to Superintendent II. L, King
Of the road. The redecking of the
trestle consists in the removal of the
gravel ballast, tearing up the heavy
plank floor laid upon the stringers and
putting down new flooring or deck.
This work has been carried on with
out minutes delay in the traffic.
Rock ballast is crushed at the Lake
side pit and is being used upon the
cutoff trestle instead Of gravel The
work has offered employment for
ninety men. The cost win be $1,000
300 when completed. The repairs are
the Hrst made upon the cutoff trestle
since 1t was completed In November.

Grain In Medium Amount, Fresh Wa
ter and Pasture Are Necessary for
Success With Calves.
feed part clover and part alfalfa for
a few days. Gradually reduce the
amount Of clover and at the same time
increase the alfalfa.
3, Do not overfeed the calf. Feed as
much grain as 1t will clean up in 30
minutes and wish 1t had just a little
more. Feed left In the trough to be
breathed over is worse than wasted
If any remains 1t should be removed
and less given the next time. Digestive
disorders occur from feeding too much
rather than too little.
4. Do not underfeed the calf II
should make a continuous gain. II
1t does not grow each day the feed
given 1t is about the same as wasted
II never pays to starye calf. In
fact, the calf does not begin to pay
for feed until 1t is given more than
enough to make some gain.
5. Do not annoy or disturb the calf
unnecessarily, 1t requires more feed
to keep 1t growing while standing or
moving about than while lying down
at rest.
9. DO not feed moldy, musty, or
!. spoiled feeds, To do so may cause
serious digestive disorders. All hays
should be bright, well cured, and free
from mustlness, dirt and coarse weeds,
The grain also should be free from
dirt, mold, and mustlness. II ground
feeds get wet they are likely to mold,
This is especially true Of eottonseed
meal and ground corn.
7. DO not waste time In feeding the
calf, or in preparing feed, since wasted
time needlessly increases the cost Of
gains. Grain should be fed whole ex-
cept when teaching the calf to eat and
possibly also near the end of the fit
ting or finishing period. Whole grain
as rule Is more palatable than ground
feeds. Ear corn may be shelled,
broken, or chopped up in the feed box
rather than ground. Husks on snapped
corn need not be removed for this pur-
pose. II rarely pays to shred stover
or to cut or chan hay for the calf.
It need not be fed three times day
when twice day win do as well, al
though the former may be practiced
when fitting the animal for show or
sale, Do not go to the expense of buy
Ing prepared stock feeds" or creme
dies" Home-mixed feeds are cheaper
and equally, If not more, satisfactory.
A healthy calf does not need condi-
tion powders.

Sudden Changes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Asriculture,)
Feeding is an important factor ID
developing good breeding animal,
or favorite In the show ring. There
are many points to be remembered
These points may be called rules OF
feeding, among which specialists OF
the United States Department Of Ag,
riculture give the following:
1. Provide a variety of feeds at all
times. IL possible. 1t Is easier to sup
ply the proper amounts Of the desired
nutrients which the calf needs II
several different feeds are used. The
ration will also be more palatabie.
2. Do not make sudden changes In
the feeds used or In the amounts CIV
en-. If 1t becomes necessary to change
feeds from, say. clover to alfalfa hay.

ENCOURAGE FENCE JUMPERS

Half broken down fences help to

more wasteful of time and patience
than constantly chasing your cattle

ing is a constant risk.

GIVING YOUNG CALVES MILK
Care Should Be Taken That Tempera,
ture ls UnIforn--When Poor In
Quality, Give Less.

Care should be taken to see that
any milk fed to the young calves Ia
of uniform temperature of about 90
degrees Fahrenheit. Many feeders at.
tempt to overcome poor quality In the
feed by increasing the quantity. This
Is radically wrong. When on account
OF age, souring, dirt, ETC., the quality
Of the milk is poor, the quantity
should be reduced rather than In.
creased.

I couldn't walk across the floor; just
had to lay and my little ones do the

doctors. Still I didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. /

Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what 1t did for her.
81 began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trou-

good that Cardui did me. I don't
