KENTUCKY HUNTING STORY
Tn which Is Described the Alarming
Pyedicament of One Of
the Hunters.

In November's golden hunting sea-
son every man who has ever carried a
gun has hunting story to tell Good
stories of this kind were flying about
in a Crescent Hill family circle not
long ago, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, and the young man who had
ably played the flute during the even
ing had his interesting bit Of woodland
experience to contribute.
'Down in contra! Kentucky, where
live" he said, "a lot of US went out
coon hunting one night. The best
dogs in the neighborhood were owned
by a celored man; and as he was also
an expert coon hunter himself, we
didn't feel satisfied that the expedi.
ton would be a success unless we
had black Jim and his dogs along with
us.
unfortunately, Jim was addicted
to drink, as the boys expressed it.,
and on the night in question he had
been a trifle too deep in his cups. He
was able to go with us, however, as
well as anxious, and so he started.
It was not long before Jim's good dogs
traced a coon. The coon worked out
on a long limb, and the question was
who was to climb that tree and urge
the coon to come down, or drop off 6!
Black Jim was famous climber, and,
as he seemed to be getting more like
himself every minute, we urged him to
DerfOrm the difficult feat.
Jim scrambled and shambled up the
tree trunk all right, and he crawled out
on the limb halfway with equal sue
cess. Then we heard his voice drawl-
ing out in most distressed and anx-
ious tones: 'Moov' dat rock. moov' dat
rock. moov' dat rock!' We flashed the
lantern on him, to discover that poor,
unsteady Jim had dropped around on
the under side of the limb. He was
clutching the limb desperately, making
strenuous but unavailing struggles to
get on the upper side of it again, and
also cycling the ground with agoniz'
ing apprehension, feeling that he soon
must let 90. 'Moov' dat rock, moov'
dat rock, tioov' dat rock! he continued
calling, while we Eelplessly and hard
heartedly all stood there and laughed
There wasn't any rock in sight, thai
we could see, and poor jim in few Sec
onds came crashing down. He was moi
hurt. however, and the coon still perched
on the end of the limb. l can't re
member whether We got the coon OF
not but We got a relishable new phrase
for the hunting field: 'MQov' dat rock
moov' dat rock!'"

BIRTH OF THE SOIL.
A Brief Study in Geology-The Pro
cesses of Nature Are Ex-
planned.

The soils that form our farms were
once part of solid rock that covered
the earth. There was time when
there was not spoonful of soil on the
whole earth The earth. as it cooled
from its molten state, formed a great
shell of rock In time the gases set
tied over it, condensed and formed
water, which covered all. The water
had tendency to cool and the heat
on different parts of the earth varied.
The internal heat made elevations
here and depressions there and the
first ledge rose above the food. Then
the formation of soil began. The bill
lows of the sea beat on the ledge and
the airs of heaven began to blow upon
it. Particles infinitely small were
broken from The parent rock and be-
came soil. Since that time ages have
passed, but the process of soil form
ing goes on wherever the ledge is not
covered by water. On our farms now
the lodges are still giving off minute
particles yearly, aided in some local
tiles by the frosts, which freeze the
minute particles OF rain and use them
as wedges to chip off the particles of
rock. This not only adds to the bulk
of the soil, but adds to it some of the
fertility locked up in the rock, says
the Farmers Review. In nature moth
ing is lost and nothing created.
Change is the one law. All matter,
whatever it's form, is the same mat
ter, appearing to US in innumerable
combinations

LABOR SAVING ON A FARM.
By Use of Machinery Worked BY
Horse Power Desired End may
Be Accomplished.

Owing to the scarcity Of transient
farm labor in many sections Oh the
country, the question of carrying on
the farm, whether it be large or small,
with as little of outside help as pos
sible, is a subject of considerable I'M
portance. One OF the principal ways
by which this can be accomplished Is
by the use of labor saving machinery.
BY the aid OF such machinery, the
greater portion of farm labor can be
done by horse power, with both ease
and comfort, and labor that Woulc
otherwise be considered a drudgery
can be made pleasure, declares the
Prairie Farmer.
To accomplish the above results does
not require such great number or
tools, and if they are properly cared
for they will last almost lifetime. II
the amount which many farmers pay
out for just one season for hired help
was expended for the right kind of la
Dor saving machinery, not only could
much of this extra expense be saved
each year out-of- doors, bul the good
wife in the house would be saved much
extra labor, also.
This is not theory, but facts which
l have proved to be true from expert
ence in carrying. on my own farm.
keep three medium sizel horses and
generally work the three together on
the different kinds of tools on which
ride while fitting the ground for differ

For example, the first crop to be
sown in the spring is oats, which Is
sown on ground previously fall Ilowed
In fitting the ground for this crop,
| use spring tooth wheel harrow
which cuts six feet wide, and with
three horses on this tool It is easy tt

MMammau Out of Fashion.

Children, it is asserted, are being
taught to use the word dearest" in ad-
dressing their mothers, and the latter
reply in kind. In the highest of high
circles darling" has been substituted
for dearest" and it is interesting to
learn that "motherkin," Mamma Mar
iory," sweetheart" and plain Sweet"
are among the other endearing terms
that are regarded as particularly good
form" just now. Common sense people,
who, happening upon the above, may
thoughtlessly read it, are reminded that
for sudden and violent nausea, on land
or sea, no remedy is more effective and
less harmful than heaping spoonful
of saleratus mixed with water-Provi-
