POLITICS AGAIN ON TRIAL.

POLITICS AGAIN ON TRIAL.
II is extremely doubtful il even the
partisan Democrats of Kentucky will
find anything to be proud Of IN the
action Of the esteemed secretary of
state, in prosecuting q newspaper and
some of the men working on il for
saying something about him he didn't
like, in county $50 miles from the
secretary's headquarters and the home
of the newspaper.
Waving any discussion as to the
merits of the gentleman's grievance,
il would have looked much better for
an official occupying the high position
he does, and did at the time, had he
gone about his prosecution in a fair
and dignified way. He could have Sc
cured indictments just as easily either
at Frankfort or Louisville, but instead
he went to an extreme county where he
knew that a large part of the popula-
tion was friendly to him and hostile

who dare to impugn the actions of one
Of their gifted sons" He doubtless
had reason to believe that without re
gard to the justice Of his cause, he
could hardly fail to get the cases be-
fore a jury of his friends and political
allies, and that their resentment in
his behalf would overshsdow what
ever tendency they might otherwise
have had to do Justice to all con-
cerned. In this respect he seems to
have been right. The case tried was

ISSUE THE BONDS NOW.

There is now no further bar to i'm
mediately preparing to utilize the
$3.50, 900 bond issue in Paducah. If
past delay was only subterfuge
adopted by few who are at heart OPP
posed to progress and improvement,
they must now show their hand
Within a few weeks the bonds can be
f1oated and the contract let. 1t ma y
be claimed that it is too late in the
year to start on such large job, but
this is absurd. If the contract is let
to men who understand their business
and who make a speciality of building
streets, the work can be finished this
year, and can be finished without the
vexatious delays and constant quib-
bling and quarreling that have char
acterized street work in Paducah in
the past. There are experienced con-
tractors willing to take much larger
jobs than this with an iron-bound
guarantee to finish them in much less
time than it has taken to have few
blocks improved under past contracts.
In letting the contract for this new
work, some consideration should be
given to the length OF time required,
and the quality OF workmanship, as
well as to the price. Psducah's past

Those who expect peace to grow out
of reported Russian reverses in the far
east are likely to be disappointed. In
the first place, reliable information
relative to the conduct and events Of
the war is hard to get, and in the Sec

of being colored to suit the sentiment
of the people, hence one cannot be GER
tain of getting the truth in the dis
patches sent out from the scene of hos
tilities. Admiral Alexieff, il he really
applied to be relieved of his position,
did not do it because OF Russian re-
verses, defeats, or misfortunes, but
because the man just appointed to
command the Russian navy in the far
east, Vice Admiral Skrydoloff, is one
of his worst enemies, and he naturally
desires to escape the unpleasant possi-

situation. The question Of peace.

COLD STORAGE. FOR FARMERS.

From the Southern Peach Grower
To find out how the farmer might save
money by going into the cold storage bus
mess on his own account, the Illinois Ex-
pertinent Station recently built refrig-
Grating house big enough to hold $500 bar
rels of apples. 1t was OF simple constitute
tion. and made as cheap as possible, Its
cost being s34sO. On the 5th day of Octo-
Der seventy tons of ice were put into the
ice box, and the temperature fell grad
ually to SO degrees, at which point 1t was
maintained through the winter. All OF
the apples kept beautifully and the cost
of storage for seven months was only
10 cents a BARREL or 81 cents less than the
farmer usually pays for refrigeratng his
apple crop.
The fruit was examined from time to
time, and hardly bad apple was found.
There was no whitening, and no appear
ance of "scald"-that dreaded enemy of
the apple grower. All of the apples re-
manned in perfect condition. Taking into
view the saving to the producer, it was
reckoned that such a building would pay
for itself in five years.
Accordingly, 1t Is recommended that
farmers build their own cold storage
houses. combining for the purpose when
desirable. Not only win they save money
directly, but the selling period will great
ly be prolonged. The fruit can go from
the tree Immediately into storage, and
be cooled to the degree requisite to arrest
the ripening process. Furthermore, 1t
can be stored in temporary packages, the
final grading and packing being deferred
until the hurry of the packing season
is over.
The station tried the experiment OF In
culating a cellar for cold storage pur-
poses cooling It with ice in the early part
of the season. and depending later upon
the natural temperature. This was not a
success. 1t was found that the earth
was too good conductor of heat and
cold. that the amount of ice required
was excessive, and that fluxuations of
temperature in the latter season were too
great
The conclusion drawn Is that CONNER
cial growers, for communities in which
considerable quantities of fruit are grown,
cannot do better than TO erect cold stor-
age houses cooled with ice.

FEEDING SOFT CORN.

From the Southern Apriculturist
The warm and genial climate of the
south insures the nerfect denelonment of
the corn plant. though the crop In other
sections of the country freouently suf
fers from early frosts in the autumn.
In fact. the corn crop of the northwestern
states for the last two or three wears
has been seriously interfered with bv the
weather man. As a result large ouanti-
ties of soft corn are annually harvested.
and IL has been a question for some years
to know how to probably utilize 1t. Many
people believe that immature corn will
not make a satisfactory foodstuff, that 1t
cannot be utilized for fattening cattle
and other classes of farm stock with sue
cess. The matter is of such universal
interest to the farmers of that section
that careful tests were undertaken to as
certain the true status of the question.
The results of these experiments indi-
cate that corn containing 80 per cent of
moisture is. pound for pound. on a water

The general government. the states

practical men who are making close
study of all these questions. and all these
agencies are ready and willing to assist
the people and to give them the much
needed information free. But the great
question is how are we to reach the peo-
pie? The only practical way I can see
is in the farmers institute work, and If
the people will not attend the institutes.

have been helped out of debt and led to
prosperity That much and lasting good
has been accomplished through these
agencies is evidenced all over the eoun-
try, yet there is much to be accom-
plished.
I hope to have more time to take up
this matter little later on.

owners. It is situated only four miles
from Stevenson with a pike part Of the

PREVENT INSECT PRoPAeArINe

From the Rural World.
The old adage, IAN ounce of prevention
is worth more than a pound of cure. -
might even be changed to greater pro-
portions in favor of the prevention. Too
late! too late! Is an ejaculation many
farmers despairingly utter when crops
are being destroyed by some insect, that,
had care been exercised, this destruction
if 1t might not have been wholly averted,
might at least have been lessened. How
often In fence corners there is an accum-
ulation of trash that Is veritable hot
bed for breeding many of the insect
pests. There is probably no one general
method by which the farmer can do more
to protect his crops from insect injury
than by clean culture.
If rubbish Is not allowed to accumulate
these Injurious insects will have less
chance to find suitable quarters, and will
be more likely to perish from the effects
of weather. The collecting of all refuse
matter reduces the opportunity of feed
ing and breeding, and enables one with
greater certainty of success to apply in
secticides or other methods of destruc-
ton.
ut is a safe rule" writes Prof. J. B.
Smith, whenever crop is gathered, to
clear off the remnants and destroy them
as completely as possible. This Is con-
trary to the general practice which Is
to get the crop and let the remnants take
care of themselves, until the land is pre-
pared for something else. Melon, citron,
squash. cucumbers and other similar
vines are simply left in the fields after
the crop Is gathered. and there many
a borer and many a striped beetle come
to maturity long after the farmer Is done
with the plants. The rule should be 10
gather and burn. either by fire or in the
manure pit with lime.
I'm orchards this recommendation Is of
especial Importance. In dead wood, on
the tree or on tho ground. many species
hide or complete their development. Ev-
cry dead branch and twig should be cut
off, and with the other rubbish hauled
out and burned. The ashes will make
a good furtilizer. Loose bark does not
help tree much. while 1t does afford
shelter to many alternating species.
Never leave an old wood pile In or near
an orchard. especially If the wood is of
the same kind as the orchard trees
Many insects breed preferably in dead
wood; but when 1t becomes too dry or
too rotten they have a sharp instinct
that enables them to discover a weak or
sickly tree, and they attack this at once
and ruin 1t, where otherwise 1t might re-
cover. Fallen fruit should always be de-
stroyed. Were this systematically done

made, It will affect the price of southern
corn favorabiy, for, as already stated. the
soft corn only has about two-thirds the
feeding value Of mature corn and It cant
not be utilized In the production Of meal

any advantage, as compared with mature
corn. So long, therefore, as the seasons
