Good Grass.s for Pasture.

The Ohio experiment station gives
good advice when 1t recommends blue
grass, redtop, red clover and timothy
for permanent pasture. The red clo-
YER enriches the ground and soon
runs out. The timothy furnishes feed
while tho slower bluegrass is get
ting started. The redtop furnishes
good pasturage between the two
growths Of bluegrass, which is at its
best only in spring, early summer and
fall. The timothy will give way when
the bluegrass becomes we'll rooted,
and the redtop will do so more or less
on land that Is not naturally moist;
but these three grasses should be
used in the formation Of permanent
pasture wherever they thrive.

Dampness Causes Many Ills.

Protection from dampness is of the

period, after they are three or four
weeks old. Small chicks suffer very
much during wet weather, and should
be protected from both wet and
dampness. Cold and dampness pro-

of which is very disastrous to n brood
of chicks. During wet weather it is

From all parts of the country come
reports of the scarcity of farm berr
and the great difficulty encountered
by farmers in securing n sufficient
number of hands to carry on the
spring planting. 1t would seem as
though this farm help famine might
be relieved by the extraordinarily
heavy immigration to this country,
but it is evident that the immigrants
now coming from Europe are not, as
a class, fond of rural life. They pre-
fer to keep to the cities and live n
overcrowded tenements. More's tho

Juoiiec ychT, mas
served King Edward as private secre-
tary for q number of years, first as Sec
retary to the prince of Wales, and
since the death of Queen Victoria as
secretary to the king of England. 1t
is position of great responsibility,
and the occupant has become one of
the best known men in English public
life. In the Life of the Prince of
Wales,' which was published a shor,
time before the death Of Queen Vic
tOria. Sir Francis was described as
"his royal masters supplemental
memory" The fact is that while the
prince of Wales has a splendid reputa-
tion for promptness at his engage
ments, and for never forgetting any
OF them, it was the secretary more
than the prince himself to whom the
English public were indebted.
The official title of Sir Francis is
the rather inelegant one OF groom
in-waiting to the king" He is of IT,
tied parentage, his father being the
late Gen. Rt. Hon. Sir w. T. Knollys,
X. c. b., and his mother a daughter
of Sir ]. st. Aubyn, Bt The wife Of
the secretary is daughter of the
late Sir II. Tyrwhitt, Bt.. and they
were married in 1887.
Miss Knollys has served her royal
mistress as her private secretary for
a number of years, and is as well
known to the English public as is her
brother. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

II will be generally admitted thas
he Industrious hen has done much
n., for mankind, and
deserves to lead q
life of pla uitJ
and comfort. She is a hard-working,
persevering member of society, and
we all OF us owe her gratitude. To DO
sure, she has way of going on a
strike occasionally, in the winter
lime, and refusing to lay, but even
such exhibitions Of ecceutricity
should not lessen our affection and
respect. Down in Connecticut they
propose to show this affection in .
new way. A bill has been passed by
the house OF representatives i'll that
state providing a fine OF 500 or
maximum Imprisonment OF two years
for the theft of poultry, and also es-
tablishing a standing reward of $50
for anyone giving information that
leads TO the conviction OF chicken
thief. II this bill becomes a law, OBJ
serves an interested contemporary,
the deserving hen should be able to
perform her accustomed duties in
greater peace. II may even lead to
an increase in the number of eggs,
for no longer will the hen be haunt
ed by the fear of unwe leone yisits
to the chicken-coop upon the part of
persons having no business there. II
the removal of such cause for
anxiety has a beneficial mental eff
fcct-as, no doubt, it will havc-why
should it not help the industry in
which she engages? The proposed
Connecticut law will have the appro-
val of all good friends of the hen.
and will be accounted good meas
ure.

no NEGROES IN THIS TOWN.

Calvert City, in Marshall county,

To threaten . negro with Calvert

vision pictures of death more horrible
than by lynching.
The peaceable. law-abiding spirit
that prevails in the little Kentucky
town is swiftly banished when negro

molested, provided he attends strictly
to his own affairs and does nothing to
provoke the ever.alert hostility Of the
residents. But he can neither take up
his abode there nor remain over eli

past attempts to break this unwritten,
but none the less stringent law, that no
negro would to-day dare to move into

ton OF remaining. ''..I

out OF the vicinity, and one has never

In recent years there has been no

no less than ten or dozen negroes who

Grand Duke Frederick was but 10

style themselves princes of the
Wends. The genealogical table OF
Frederick Franz begins with Niklot,
who died in 1l6O, and comprises IS
generations. The present title OF the
ruling sovereign, that of grand duke,
was assumed in 1915.
The little country over which he
rules, one of the smallest Kingdoms
