Northeast Mississippi is the Dairy
Cows Paradise. More grass is allow
ed to go to waste here than some
dairy sections could raise. Every kind
of grass known grows here. All kinds
of clover-red, white sweet-alfalfa
also bur clover, which makes a good
growth in winter time, and is a ma
tive of this section. Our Bermuda
grass, similar to Blue Grass, only it
makes better sod, and does not die
down, like Blue Grass, in middle Of
summer. Bermuda grass grows all
through our long summer season,
and every other kind of grass can be
made to grow with it. Our pastures
of Bermuda are as full of white
clover as they can be.
For winter feeds, some use corn
silage, although they do not need it.
Winter grazing of oats, rye, bur
clover, etc. is very cheap and prac-
teal. Velvet beans can be planted

FINER FARMING.
BY H. A. Powers, Co. Agent

A few days ago E. w. Maness re-
ported to us that he had some hogs
that were sick and others that were
dead. The symptoms and other con-
ditions were not such as to cause him
to suspect cholera. We called on DR.
O'Conner, from the office of the State
Veterinarian to come down and look
them over and after he had made the
usual diagnosis along with post
norton examination of one that was
sick, he pronounced it cholera. Serum
was Immediately ordered and admin
istered by M. Attaway, a virus per-
NIT holder. NO MORE OF THE RE-
NAMING THlRTY-ODD HOGS
DIED. THE SIX OR SEVEN THAT
HAD DIED WERE BURNED. Not
only was this single farmer saved a
heavy loss by getting in touch with
the County Agent, but a source of in
lection for the neighboring farmers
was removed and no doubt they were
also benefited. This farmer did just
what every one should with dead ami
mails. He burned them. This is about
the only practical way to destroy dis
ease germs,

IN MEMORY.

Mrs. w. M. Green was born in
Henderson county, July Gath, 1879.
She was married to w. M. Green
about the year 1900. To this union
eight children were born-six girls
and two boys. She was forty-threc
years, three months and twenty-eight
days old.
Mrs. Green professed faith in Christ
about 16 years ago and Joined the
Christian church at Juno and she was
true to the faith until the end.
She was one of thesold- time moth
ers, smooth in temper, quiet in man
ner and always looking to the interest
of her family and her home.
Mrs. Green did not dread death ex-
cept the separation. The writer was
present when the end came and il was
without any struggle--she quiely
went to sleep in Jesus.
The community has lost a fine
neighbor, the husband real compan-
ion, the children loving mother, the
mother an obedient daughter. She
leaves one brother, F. l.. Hamlet, the
reporter from this community to the
county papers.
One Of her boys had gone before
her to the Glory world, but as stated
she leaves one boy and six girls, hus-
band, aged mother and brother, host
of friends to mourn their loss.
! would say TO the weeping rela-
tive5 that you will miss her on every
hand, you will wait her coming but
she is no more on this earth, but if
you will live as she has lived you can
meet her in that land where God with
his own hand will wipe all tears away.
The funeral was conducted by the
writer assisted by Brother l.. z.
jackson. The body was laid to rest
IN the Anderson Cemetery in the pres
ence Of a large assembly of people.
The great floral offering by the
friends showed how she was appre-
ciated.

TAKING DESPERATE CHANCES.

II is true that many contract seeere
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and a knowledge Of this fact leads
others to take their chances instead Of
giving their colds needed attention.
1t should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vi
tally, makes the system less able to
Withstand each succeeding attack and
payes the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, famous for its
cure Of bad colds may be had fer a
tr.fle? All Druggists.

From o. o. McIntire's "New York

ghum on sausage be good as cranber-

Have you kept any sort of system
of accounting during the present
year,? Nothing short of an annual
inventory and record of receipts of
the products sold should satisfy the
farmer. In no other way can he be
able to plan his farm operations to the
best advantage. If you have not tried
this plan during the past year let US
suggest that you use it during 1923.

Your NeighbOr's Farm.

There is so much to learn about
farming in any community that one
man cannot hope to learn it alone.
Community experience is a valua-
bic guide, "Mind your own business"
by studying your neighbours methods
of running his farm, the kind and
amount of his cash crops, the balance
with live stock, his ability to "turn
off" work and keep his men and teams
profitably employed, his crops yields
and quality of live stock, shape and
size of fields, etc.

few farmers get together and plan for
the future development of their
farms, communities and counties.
Have you had a conference in your

had one? Is it not time that you were
getting busy? Thousands are doing
this in Tennessee, and they are forg-
ing ahead of those that are sitting
still, too. WILL YOU BE LEFT Be

which offers so much to the people

Balance Of Live Stock and Crops.

The best general farmers are those
who produce both livestock and crops,
and balance the amount of live stock
kept with the amount of feed pro-
duced. By this method not only can
the fertility of the land be more cas-
lily maintained, but profits more like
ly secured. Farm surveys show that
it pays to keep the maximum Of live
stock that the farm will carry. First
calculate the amount of feed which
the farm will producesthis year, then
plan on the amount of livestock to be
kept.

LOVE NOTS
BY KAY KEAN


When a woman reaches the stage OF
thoroughly understanding a man, she
finds herself failing to understand
what ever attracted her to him in the
beginning.
A bird never knows how sweet It
is to fly until his wings are clipped.
Neither does a man realize how sweet
all women are until he goes and gets
tied TO one.
Alas! Love never knows what IT
wants in life until it gets what 1t
does not want.
Love steals the sweets from the
pantry and then sits OF the shelf and
looks sour.
Remember; you car not keep love at
a white heat without getting II
warped. Neither can you let 1t cool
off too suddenly without putting a
crack in II.
. When you fall IN love, remember
that the fall is not all there is to 1t.
Be a good sport. Pick yourself up
and stay in the game.
II you want to bury your love, you
always find appropriate thought for
an epitaph.
