The animal fed by Howard Gibbs,
Of Manley, made greater gains. At
the beginning of the feeding period
it weighed so pounds and stood on
May Is at 282 This was a gain of
1872 pounds in 113 days, or one and
six-tenths pounds day.
The so animals at the beginning of
the feeding period were worth $3.50.
They sold for S1,116.50. At least half
this increase in value represents
profit to the club members.
The hogs were sold through the

Things to Do on the Farm in June,
In the rush Of busy season like
that which every Tennessee farmer
is now in the midst Of, one is apt to
overlook or neglect some things that
should be done and could be done il
brought into the plan Of work at the
proper time. The following suggest
ions of things TO do on the farm in
June, which were prepared by spec
ialists OF the Extension service, Uni
versity of Tennessee, will no doubt
be OF value to our farmer readers in
this connection:
Marketing Market early lambs
and Gull ewes. Let thin and light
weight lambs, below so pounds, run
on pasture for several weeks longer.
The price later in the season may be
somewhat lower, but the gain which
can be put on without any additional
cost will more than compensate for
the lower price. Load hogs for mar
ket with care during the summer
months. Demand clean cars bedded
with four to six inches of clean sand.
Drench bedding thoroughly. Let
hogs cool before loading. Do not
load earlier than an hour before train
goes. Do not drive hogs hard in hot
weather. Do not overload the car.
TilIage and Cultivation of Crops
Subsoiling is a doubtful practice on
most soils and if practiced at all,
should be done in the fall and winter,
when the soil is in proper working
order. Six to eight inches as deep as
most soils should be plowed. Discing
before breaking sod land is more
beneficial than discing after breaking.
Both are needed. The chief reason
for cultivation is to control weeds.
Very late cultivation in clean corn
fields is seldom worth while.
Livestock-See that springs and
water holes, in pastures are clean.
Place covered salt boxes in pastures
for cattle. Breed cows, using pure
bred bulls. Watch ewes udder
closely. Gull out old and broken
mouth ewes. Save best eve lambs
for breeding. Write for Extension
Publication 54-"Plant Beans or Peas
With Corn For Hogs"
Rural Engineering Bale hay under
cover on rainy days. Terrace your
pasture lands and ditch the sleeper
hilIsides. Talk with your county
agent about a silo.
Dairying-Provide plenty Of shade,
pure water for the cows and young
animals. Spray cows at milking time
to keep off flies. Look out for sour
milk and cream. Bacteria and warmth
cause milk to sour The modern way
to spell bacteria is dirt. Keep it
out Of the milk; thoroughly wash and
scald all milk utensils. Keep the milk
or cream cool-5O degrees, or lower,
if possibleand it will stay sweet for
several days.
Poultry-Save the best young cock
erels. Sell or use on the table the
pullets and cockerels that are not
growing off well or have body de-
fects. Put roomy, Slated coop in a
shady place and keep in it a few of
these culls for killing. Feed them for
week or 10 days on a fattening
mash mixed with buttermilk.

LIVESTOCK Should Bring Fifty Per Cent
of Income.

LIVESTOCK Should Bring Fifty Per Cent.
of Income.
That livestock should bring the
general farmer no less than SO per
cent. Of the total farm income was
the keynote Of an address made be-
fore 1000 East Tennessee farmers at
their annual convention by Dean
Thomas G. Cooper, Of the College OF
Agriculture, University of Kentucky,
Dean Cooper spoke on management
of the farm and he stressed the fact
that organization Of the farm SO that
a proper balance Of crops and live
stock as they relate to each other Is
maintained is the basis of and the
receipt for happy, successful and
prosperous agriculture. He, empha-
sized the fact that the same prin-
ciples must enter into the operation
of the farm that enter into the opera
ton of successful business. Among
other things, he said:
attention must be given to the
yield of crops and the production OF
livestock. Farms are seldom success

of crops about one-fifth higher than
that Of the neighborhood and live
stock production that is at least one
third greater than the community av-
erage. On other than specialized
farms crops and livestock should
bear definite relationship one to
the other, and in that section of the
country 35 to So per sent. of the total
income Of the general farm may most
profitably be secured from livestock"
Dean Cooper based this statement
on the results of an extensive survey
Of hundreds of Southern farms.
His five commandments for sue
cessful farm management are: Con-
slider the size Of the farm; the yields
of crops; utilization of pastures; pro-
portion Of crops and livestock; di-
versity of crops and livestock.
"Where these five points are studied
and observed we usually find a sue
cessful farmer" said Dean Cooper.
