The editor of the Mayfield Messen-
ger isn't much of a writer himself
but he has a keen appreciation of the
gems of others thought Here is
one he culled from the Calvert City
Times:
Benton is certainly making a rep
utation for "kid marriages." A boy
or girl scarcely lives to be sweet
16 in and about Benton, before they
get married and start out upon life's
rugged road together. After all, we
don't know but what they are doing
the proper thing; let them get mar
ried while they are kids and grow up
together and they will appreciate
both the pleasures and adversities OF
life"

CRACK OF THE WHIP.

There is no such a thing as
independent" voting to a man
of either OF the old parties. A
man Is either bolter or a turn
coat, renegade or a traitor,
who leaves his declared party to
vote with the other side. This
is all there is to such a caper,
says the News-Democrat.
If any Republican has thought OF
supporting a single man on the Dem.
ocratic ticket, that is the kind OF wei.
come he may anticipate from the
local Democratic organ. That great
body OF Democrats, who find 1t i'm
possible to swallow all that an IRE
sponsible machine has attempted to
thrust down their threats, are brand
ed as traitors" and "renegades," az
though the party organization ma
chine was everything and their own
consciences nothing: as though an
organ, whose record is more notable
for boiling than regularity, has the
authority to dictate to free American
citizens how they shall exercise a
franchise that cost the blood OF
martyrs to secure.
That argument OF the News-Demo-
crat might appeal to a flock of feeble
minded sheep, but not to intelligent
voters in city like Paducah. We
assume no such weakness of intel
lect on the part of the voters. We
paid their intellect and discrimination
the compliment. of picking out the
best and strongest available man for
mayor. and persuading him to accept
the nomination; OF even choosing a
Democrat now and then for a plac,
for which he was peculiarly fitted, in
order that the personnel of the ticket
might appeal to the best that is in
our citizenship. While the Demo-
cratic organ is using a whip, we are
enticing you with good men.

WHERE HoLsTElNs ORIGINATED.
Brief History Of This Type Of Dairy
Animal.

The cattle known I'm America as
Holstein-Friesians belong to the short
horn. low-land race. native to the low
lying. fertile lands OF Europe borderi
ing on the North Sea, of which racoj
from the dairy standpoint, the Hol9
stein FTieslan family is the most highS
ly developed. These cattle might have
been better named Friesian, since
Friesland. and the neighboring Prov
inces OF Holland, is the central homo
from which this breed OF cattle has
been so widely disseminated over the.
old world and from which some 10000
head of foundation stock has BEEN
brought TO America. The Friesianl
people are among the most conserva-
tive of the Germanic race, still hold
ing to and speaking among themselves
the old Friesian language, although
also able to speak Dutch, the officikk
language OF Holland. They have been.
equally conservative in holding To-
their ancient industry of cattle rear
ing, an occupation for which their
low-lying lands are especially fitted
and, as the Roman historian TacitusI
speaks OF them nearly 1900 years ago,
as cattle breeders, paying a tribute
in cattle and hides to the Roman emx
pire, so we find them to-day making
dairy husbandry their main industry.
Holding mainly to one occupation
down through the centuries, and pass
ing the business from father to SON.
it would be strange indeed, says
Farmers Review. If their breed OF
cattle did not reach Il very high de-,
gree OF development; so it is in no
way surprising that we should find
these Friesian dairymen possessed er
a breed of cattle which, as an all@
around dairy breed. is superior to any
other breed known.

HOW RECORDS HELP.
Farmer Can More inteIIigently Deter
mine From Which Cows to Breed.

II a dairy farmer has at his COM
mand carefully kept statistics con-
corning the yields of his cows, he is
IL q much better position to decide
from which cows it is advisable that
he should rear than the farmer who
has not that definite information at
hand. For, assuming that a heifer-
calf is brought up in an orthodox man
ner, two factors control its eventual
usefulness as a dairy COW, namely,
the quantity and the quality of the
milk produced by its ancestors. The
fact that a good Quantity mixer is
but rarely bred from a poor mixer,
and that heavy milking dam is like
ly to produce a good milking OFF
spring, has long been realized, but the
fact that a poor quality producing
COW invariably impresses upon her
progeny the same failing is a point
that is often overlooked. The truth
of both these rules cannot be too
strongly emphasized. They hold true.
not only direct from female to female,
but also from female through male to
female. There are quite as many rea-
sons why record of quality should be
kept, as there are for the keeping of
records of quantity. and there is every
reason for keeping both.

cement and tolerably coarse gravel

was put just above the first ones and
these were filled between with con-
crete also. Then another course OF
concrete was put above this and so on
until the desired height was reached.
