NO CHANGE IN THE
 KENTUCKY FIGHT
SEVERAL CONFERENCES HAVE
 BEEN HELD BETWEEN ANTI HICKMAN AND REPUBLICAN
 FORCES, BUT NOTHING IS DONE.

Frankfort, Ky, January 16.-The Ken lucky senatorial race is standing pat" There was no change today and the in- dications are that there will be none before next week The antiBeckham democrats and the republican leaders have had several conferences but so far as can be learned no agreement has been reached to take up a new candl- date.
 There is some talk that in exchange for help in securing legislation the republi- cans will agree to vote for the anti Beckham democrat for senator, but noth- ing has been effected along this line so far. In the first place the republican nominee, w. O. Bradley, would have to sacrifice all his chances to withdraw from the race, else his personal friends would not agree to trade legisiation for a sacri- fee.
 The vote of Mcknight, democrat, for J. B. McCreary today is given no sig nificance here, as 1t is not believed that McCreary will allow his name to be con- sidered as a candidate unless Beckham should withdraw.

pr..d and Variety.

NV
The distinction between breed ana
variety is not always remembered.
says the Farmers Advocate. Some OF
the editors Of poultry papers use the
two words interchangeabU; but, ac-
cording to the standard Of perfection,
the two words are entirely distinct
The word breed applies to any class
Of poultry, such as Plymouth Rocks,
wyandottes, Cochlns, Brahmas, Leg
horns, or2ingtons ETC., while the word
variety denotes the different divisions
Of these breeds. Thus the Plymouth
Rock breed" Is divided into the three
Observation-Disclosures. White, Bun. The
Barred Rock Is not a breed, but Is a
variety Of the Plymouth Rock breed.
Ut is not correct to speak Of the Buff
Cochin breed, but the Buff Cochin va
gtety, the other Cochin varieties being
the White, Partridge and Black.
These four varieties make up the one
Cochin breed.

Waste In Poultry R.i.;no.

There is lots Of waste in handling
poultry, and waste wherevsr It ap-
pears should be combated. OAe COM
mon waste on the farm is seen about
this time Of year, when a lot Of old
broody hens are permitted to occupy
nests indefinitely, fighting among
0emselves. sometimes breaking the
eggs of other hens that are sitting OF
breaking new laid egp. A little good
management car avoid most Of this
trouble. Often hens are allowed to sit
in summer till they die on the nest

ehipwrecks and Courts Martial.
The custom Of holding courts martial
in the British navy after every case Of
shipwreck has a curious origin. In
1741 the Wager. one Of Commodore
Anson's vessels, was wrecked on the
coast Of Chile. most Of the crew being
saved. The men and some of the Jun.
Tor officers held that they were no
longer amenable to discipline because
their pay ceased with the wreck, but
the captain. whose name was Davy
Cheap. differed. treated them as mutt.
neers and shot one Of his midshipmen.
He was then deposed. and most Of the
crew made or in thrD Of the boats.
Later when 1t was proposed to proceed
against the 80 called mutineers the law
officers of the crown decided that the
had been correct in their view
This discovery led to the framing Of
section 81 Of the articles of war. which
provides that In the case Of shipwreck,
destruction OF capture by the enemy Z
ship q held to remain In comnlissior
pending inquiry BY . court martial.

Note, About Bees.

SUCCESS IN Bookkeeping depends large
~ on the man.
The orchard is one Of the best places
to keep bees.
The best way to keep millers out Of
hives il to keep the hives full Of bees.
The life Of a bee during the busy
season is very short. Often during the
honey season they do not live longer
than SIX Dr. eight weeks.
The prime swarm yields the surplus.
Keep honey, whether in the comb or
extracted. in a dry place. a 1t will
readily absorb moisture and become
thin, watery and worthless.
