Kentucky's TALKING Tree.

Out on the farm of Will Albert,
near Heath, this county, the people OF
that section are yet wrought up over
the talking tree" that has been there
for s0Ice time. Enormous crowds
continue to congregate there almost
every Sunday to hear the strange
noises that emanate from the tree.
The voice can be distinctly heard, and
says: There are treasurer buried at
my roots" A party consisting of the
most reliable citizens of the county,
visited the tree not long since to
make thorough investigation for
themselves as to the noises being
heard They listened patiently for
several hours when sudden crash,
which has been given many times
before the marvellous production of a
human voice, came. The mystery yet
remains unsolved, and so great has
the number of people been who have
gone there in the last several months
that the tree is now dead, caused by
the continuous tramping on the earth
surrounding the tree. The only theory
that has been suggested is that man
was killed under the tree in 1852, and
while many do not believe ia "spir-
it's" the facts are SO plain and the
voice can be so distinctly heard that
they cannot dispute the fact. A fam
lily of people who lived there many
years ago became SO frightened from
the voice that they sold their farm
at a sacrifice and went West, and are
now living in Texas.-Paducah News

THE CHILDREN's LUNCH.

The value of dates for children's
school luncheons is not fully appre-
ciated. They are rather sticky, bother
some things as they are originally
purchased, and children rarely care
for them. They should be separated
and washed, the stone removed, and
a peanut or almond, sailed preferably,
substituted. The date is then rolled
in cornstarch or powdered sugar, and
straightway becomes one of the appe-
tizing trifies dear to youth, and at the
same time is healthful and nourish-
ing.

BROILERS NEED WARMTH.

The broiler season, when in full
sway, calls to mind the advice that
many of those who raise broilers will
lose quite few by not keeping them
warm. Of course, the broilers need
fresh air, but there is a doubt as to
whether they need an artificial ven
tilation during cold weather, as it is
next to impossible to keep the fresh
air from creeping in somewhere. Air
is important, but have as your motto,
Keep the chicks warm" and there is
every reason to believe that you will
succeed in raising goodly lot of them.
Most of the poultry books give the
temperature at which the houses
should be kept, but believe the chicks
know best and have always let them
be their own thermometer. When
they huddle UP together they need
more heat, and when they look drowsy
and appear to have no ambition in
life they are too warm.

THE WATERING OF HORSES.

The question as to the best time
for watering horses is often asked, ard
is answered in a number of different
ways according to the individual opin-
ions of the authority consulted. Many
feeders believed that horses should
be watered before feeding, while
others are equally certain that feed
ing should precede watering. c. F.
Langworthy, in very useful bulle-
tin, entitled principles of Horse
Feeding" summarizes the results OF
some recent experiments which he be-
lieves have reached the truth of the
matter.
The rations fed consisted Of differ
emit mixtures of corn, oats, hay and
straw, and a number of experiments
were made, in which the only condl-
ton that varied was the time OF water
ing. In some of the tests the horses
drank before and in some after eat
ing, and in others after the grain por-
ton of the ration was eaten, but before
the hay.
So far as was observed, the time of
drinking had no effect on the digesti-
bility of a ration Of grain and hay.
When hay only was fed there seemed
slight advantage in watering before
feeding. The general conclusion was
drawn that horses may be watered be-
fore, during or after meals without
interfering with the digestion and abb
sorption of food. All these methods
Of watering are equally good for the
horse, and each of them may be en-
ployed according to circumstances. 1t
Is obvious that certain circumstances
may make it necessary to adopt one
or the other method. For instance,
after severe loss of water, such as
occurs in consequence of long contin-
ued, severe exertion, the animal should
always be allowed to drink before he
is fed. as otherwise he will not feed
well.
1t has been found that less water is
required when the ration consists
largely of concentrated feed than
when large amounts of coarse fodder
are consumed, and it is matter OF
common observation that less water Is
consumed when green, succulent feeds
form a considerable part of the ration
than when it consists of dry feed
That the amount of water taken, even
in dry feed. may be. considerable is
shown by the fact that ration OF
twelve pounds of oats and fifteen
pounds of hay furnishes some twenty
pounds Of water. A succulent ration
would furnish much more.

Decisive Battle of World.


According to DIR. Greasy, the decis
i've battles Of the world have been:
Marathon, B. O. 400, when Greek CIV
ilization was preserved from an Asi
attic inundation; the defeat of the
Athenians at Syracuse, B. G. 413, by
which Rome, instead of Greece, be-
came the schoolmaster Of Europe; the
battle Of Arabella, B. G. 331, which ex-
tended the Greek influences from the
Nile to the Caspian; the battle Of Me-
taurus, B. G. 207, which decided be
tween Carthage and Rome; the vic,
tory Of Arminius over the Roman le-
gions under varus, A. d. o, which
saved our Germanic ancestors from
enslavement or determination, and
drew the line between the Latin and
the Teutonic races; the battle of Cha
Ions, A. D. 451, when 1.-The Scourge of
God" Attila and his Huns ceased their
affiiction over Christendom; the bat
tie of Tours, A. D. 732. when only for
Charles the Hammer, the Koran might
have been taught at Oxford instead o.
the Bible; the battle Of Hastings
1866, which nigh mettled" the blood
in our veins; Joan of Arcs victory
over the English at Orleans, 1929. By
which she rescued her country from
becoming a second Ireland" the de-
feat of the Spanish Armada, 1883,
which checked the sea power Of Spain
and saved England from the InQuisi-
ton; the battle Of Blenheim, 17O4,
when Germany was decisively deliv.
cred from Louis XIV; the battle Of
Poltava, 100, when Peter the Great
brought Russia into Europe; the vic
tory Of the Americans over Burgoyne
at Saratoga, 1777, by which the New
World was able to work out its own
destinies; the battle of Valmy, 1892,
which proved the power of the French
Republic; the battle of Waterloo,
1915, which checked the attempt to
found an empire for the aggrandize-
ment of one man. Since Crasy's writ
ings at least four decisive battles have
been fought, viz, the battle Of Gettys-
burg, 1863, which secured the Union
and decided the destiny of the en-
shaved race; the battle of Sedan, 1870,
which marked the rise of the German
empire; the destruction OF the Span
