COWS BRING
PROsPEKiT\
By B. W. Bleckley, Agricultu.al
Agent, Southern Railway
The dairy cow has been most anropriately
named the "M ..i.
gricultural Prosperity." Wherever
le is found in numbers, thi-u also
found paved roads, attr o live farm
uuses; good rural schools and
lurches, rich land and most impor
int of all?healthy, contented farm:
unities.
There are several reasons why dairy
inning promotes prosperity. Tl.
ork on the average farm is not dis |
ibuted evenly throughout the twelve '
lonths of the year. There are s earns
when the farmer is Hooded with
orth and there are swoons when he'
i idle.. The dairy cow affords him 1
rotitable employment every day in
le year. The milking and caring for !
he milk and cream must be done.
The farmer who is milking a few
ows receives some cash each week of J
he year. This money, coming in reg-'
larly, makes him independent of ,
harge accounts at the store. Invari-!
bly the man who is in a position to J
ay cash for what he needs can buy |
t a lower figures than the man who
sks the merchant to credit him for j
cveral months at a time. In other ;
fords, ten dollars in cash each week j
ias a great deal more purchasing
>owcr in a years time than an equal!
mount (five hundred and twenty-five
lollars) payable at the end of the
'ear.
Dairy cows furnish a cash market
or the home grown feeds, some of
vhich are too bulky to sell profitably.
Sven the best quality of hay must be
>aled before it can be disposed of
inless it is fed on the farm. There is
10 other animal that is as efficient a
rcachine for converting rough feeds
nto cash as is the dairy cow. When
he farmer feeds his crops to cows he
tot only gets paid for the feed in milk
>ut he also retains most of the fertilzing
value of these crops to return
j* the land in the form of manure and
n this way enriches his farm each
fear. A system of agriculture which
ioes not provide for keeping up the
and cannot endure and is unsafe even
for a short time.
There is no food that will quite
take the place of milk, especially for
children. Every farmer needs a milk
cow for the family. It will be good
business for him to keep several more
for a cash crop.

BRASSES AND 11
PASTURES FOR
MACON COUNTY |
hy I R. fitma
I have he?*n requested to write a
h ut article for the Franklin Press
r. the above subject. Some farmers
nay be surprised at the great num- |
>er of grasses throughout the world.
Authorities state that about 6000
tiffcrcnt grasses have been classified
ind named in the world. While this
s true, the farmers of Macon county
ould get along quite well with eight
ut of the six thousand grasses so far
is hay crops and temporary and pernanent
pastures are concerned.
These eight grasses are as follows
iz: Orchard grass, Tall Meadow
3at grass, Meadow Fesene, Kentucky
31ue grass and Bermuda grass.
Then there are six clovers, (so alled)
viz: White Dutch, Japan, Altyke,
Hop, Burr and White Sweet
. lover that should be used liberally
n every grass mixture. Bur clover
ivill not do much in Macon county
sxeept on rich warm natured land
White Blooming Sweet Clover will
do well in any section of Macon
sounty when lime is used freely. And
in some soils it will do well with little
:>r no iime; but it is a Kmc requiring
legume. White Dutch clover,
Japan clover and Hop clover are
small pasture plants independent of
lime requirements. Alsyke is to some
extent perennial and produces heavy
crops of seed when not grazed too
close and will remain in the pasture
for several years. The White Dutch
clover is perennial, and the Japan,
Hop and Bur clovers are annual resellers.
They should be sown in
every pasture mixture for more reasons
than one. They give variety to
live stock. They come along from
Bur clover in February to Japan
clover in September, and they gather
nitrogen from the atmosphere and
place it in the soil to aid the grasses
in growth, which have not this
power. Now with these eight glasses
and six clovers, the fanners of Macon
county have nothing to keep them
from enjoying the most be&atiful and
profitable pastures, only to select rich
land and sow proper mixtures of
these grasses and clover, and then
take the proper care when established.
No one ever thinks of preparing a
piece of rich land and planting gopd
seed corn in the soil and then go*ng
away till harvest time and expect to
come back and reap a good harvest.
Why then should a farmer expect
more of grass and clover when
planted than corn? Yet, the grasses
will endure great negligence aad

R. R. MARTIN I
AGED CITIZEN t
DIED NOV. 19
On the night of November 19, the
death angel uescenuca and entered
the peuceful home of Robert R. Martin
and carried his noble spirit back
to God who gave it. "Bob Martin" as
he was called had been ill for three
weeks with the flu, before developing
apoplexy which he battled against
sixteen days before the final end
came.
Mr. Martin was born in the year
1856, and died Nov. 19, 1926. being
70 years of age. He was a member
of the Ogreeta Baptist church for 36
years and was a loyal christian. He
was strong in his convictions and
loyal to any trust imposed upon him.
He was a true and devoted husband,
and a kind and affectionate father,
always teaching his family to stand
for truth and honesty.
At 10 o'clock A. M., Sunday his
remains were fittingly laid to rest in
the Ogreeta cemetery. Rev. W. H.
Watlington of Fountain City, Tenn.,
conducted the funeral exercises.
From the beginning of his illness I
he apparently knew the end was ap-!
praaching by wonting his children
with him almost constantly. He is
survived by a wife and seven children,
nil of whom are married except
one.
It is almost imbearable to have to
give up a kind father who would always
welcome his children back home
to sec him, but, oh, that home now
can never be what it once was, no
father there to give good advice to
his children, but if we will only take
the advice he has given us, this sad
parting will not he always for we
will meet again in a sweeter home
where there will be no sickness pain
nor death.
Life's duty done as sinks
The clay, light from its load
Its spirit flies, when heaven and
Earth combine to say, How bless
The righteous one who dies.
?W. R. MARTIN.
abuse and still yield a dividend; but
the dividends will be much larger
when proper care Is bestowed. Until
properly established, weeds and bushes
should be kept down; St should
never be over-grazed, and should be
reseeded, cultivated and fertilized
when R shows failure.
What I mean by cultivation is by
using a spike-tooth harrow on the
sod occasionally and sow a light dressing
of seed. In some instances
where the sod becomes sod bound and
the land becomes hard and tough, a
disc harrow and the spike-tooth har
