A man who is too economical to
subscribe for paper sent his little
boy TO borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. 10 his haste the boy ran
over a 81 stand OF bees and In ten
minutes looked like a watery su m.
mer squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance,
aud falling to notice barbed wire
fence, ran into that, breaking 1t
down cutting handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running u 81
pair OF pants. The COW took ad-
vantage OF the gap in the fence and
got into the cOrnfield aud killed
herself eating green corn. Hear
ing tho racket, the wife ran, upset
a four gallon churn full OF rich
cream Into u basket OF kittens,
drowning the flock, In the hurry
she dropped S25 set OF false teeth.
The baby, left alone, crawled
through the spilled milk and into
the parlor running brand-new $50
carpet. Daring the excitement
the oldest daughter ran away with
the hired man, the dog broke up
eleven setting hens and the calves
got out aud chewed the tails OF
four flne shirts. Nave all this

Last Friday In the Legislature
the House called from the clork's
desk the "Breathitt District BILL"
which the Senate amended so az
TO leave Breathitt county In Judge
Robert Riddelps district and made
n new district out OF Magonln,
Floyd and Knott counties. Mr..
Barton made a few remarks for
the bill, saying that the only
question was whether the new
district WAS needed. He thought
1t clear that there was need for It.
MIR. Vaughan read letter from
Judge Andrew Kirk, who is on the
bench In one Of the districts
affected, saying that the change
was not needed and he would soon
he up with his docket. Without

To Improve Old Fields.

Nearly all over the South old
fields are seen. Thoy are the re-
suit Of style OF farming that was
very general before the Civil War.
While land was cheap and labor
abundant it was considered far
cheaper to clear lands and culti-
vate then continually until they
became exhausted. They were
then turned out on the commons
and allowed to remain without
any attempt for their restoration.
Since the new style OF agricul-
ture has come into practice in the
South a good many farmers have
gone to work to reclaim these old
abandoned fields and to bring them
into condition OF fertility sutii.
ciently great TO justify the expense
OF their cultivation. One OF the
best methods OF reaping some pro-
fits from these old fields is 10 break
them up and plant them in yellow
locust, that in few years will
prove as remuneratiye as any por-
tion OF the farm. The rapidly
growing demand for durable ienc-
Ing posts leads one to the belief
that every acre planted will with
In fifteen years yield return OF
800 per acre. This Is a big item.
Another way OF restoring them
that may prove profitable is to sow
them with the scaly.bark hickory
nuts The trees will bear hickory
nuts within fifteen years. The de-
mand for second-growth hickory
for bent work, buggy spokes, axe
handles, ETC., is continually in-
creasing. In six or eight years
after sowing these hickory groves
might be thinned out and a large
mber OF hoop-poles could lie
secured that would pay the cost OF
all the work that has been done.
But while all this profit may
result, the largest profit would be
In the renewal OF fertility OF the
soil. Nothing will do so much to
bring about this restoration as the
subsoiling which the hickory roots
would give the soil, and also thC
mulch which the hickory leaves
would form upon the surface
Where the hickory sprouts come
up thick upon the surface they
will hold the leaves and not
permit them to be swept away
from off the land by the win d
