Hydrocyanic Acid in Plants.

One OF the most remarkable devel-
opments OF modern agricultural science
Is bringing to light the fact that
hydrocyandc acid is common In many
of our economic plants. Hypdrocyani
acid is better known as Prussic acid
and is one Of the deadiest poisons.
1t used to be supposed that certain
plants were always poisonous and
other plants always safe 10 use. But
agricultural Investigators have shown
that this is not the case. Some OF
the safest Of them so regarded, may
become very deadly at times.
This is because the poison is more
abundant at times than at others.
Thus sorghum is very healthy plant
TO feed to cattle at most times, but
there are times when the amount of
poison in it is very great. This is
when 1t is growing rapidly and while
1t is young and tender. Hundreds of
farm animals were killed by the acid
befor the Nebraska station finally
worked out the processes by which the
poison becape a menace.
II is now believed that hydrocyanic
acid is in most plants and and has
something to do with the growth pro
cesses disappearing when tine growth
processes lave been completed. In
these plants 1t may be brought out
again by fermentation as In the case

THE VERY BEST.

Have any of our readers seen a re.
cent copy of the Cincinnati Weekly
Enquirerf If not, it will pay to

GARDEN SEEDS in MORE
LIMITED QUANTITIES
Blow at the Privileges Dear to the
Hearts Of Congress-
men.

Like a clap OF thunder out OF q
clear sky has come the announcement
to the Kentucky congress men that
their supply OF garden seeds has been
cut down. The news has just been
broken 10 the congressman in a let
ter from Secretary of Agricu-
ture Wilson. There is not "a
single solf and assuaging SEN
tence In the eScretaIy's letter.
Language he merelystates that where
as the congress have been getting IL,
900 packages OF seeds heretofore, they
will get hereaftr only 10000 pack
ages OF seeds until such time as the
price of seeds returns to normal ba-
sis. In other words, one-sixth OF the
congressmanis supply Of garden seeds
has been cut off, all because of the
high price which the government has t
pay for the seeds. The fact that the
government doesn't raise It's own seed
will be revelation to some folks. but
II doesn't. It buys them and presents
them to the congressman, who scat
ter them throughout their districts
In the hope that they will yield q
bountiful crop Of votes at the next
and each succeeding election. There
is a mistaken idea abroad that the
Department Of Agriculture grows the
seed somewhere out in the Potomac
flats, but nothing could be farther
from the truth.
The secretary's announcement has
struck a heart rendlng below at one
Of the basic perquisites of congress
man.. 1t comes at time when the
Kentucky congressman were receiv-
ing more requests for seeds than ever
before, and when fond hopes were be-
ing tndulged Of making two votes
grow where only one grew before.
There would be a congressional in
dignation meeting IL that would do
any good, but upon reflection the law
makers have decided that congress-
men might cry for seeds until they
were black In the face, but it would
accomplish nothing of there are no
seeds. So they will send out every
seed they can get ana pray for a drop
in the plice Of the germs OF vegeta-
ton.

FEUD WAR AGAIN
ON in BREATHITT
Warrants Issued for Ed Gala
han and Ten Henehmen.
Charge Made That The Former
Sheriff Used Intimidation
On Election Day.

jackson, KY, Dec. 15.-Ed Callahan
former Sheriff OF Breathitt county
and feud leader during the reign OF
Judge James Hargis, who was at one
time king OF Breathitt," must come
into court with ten Of his followers
and answer charges Of banding to-
gether with intent TO kill
A week ago Rash Sebastian was
shot. II is claimed by Sebastine and
his friends that they were fired on
while passing the ONE OF Callahan
In company with Willie Deaton. son
OF James Deaton. who was killed by
Callahan and others several years age
near the mouth OF Longs creek. for
which killing Callahan and othegsl were
tried in the Breathitt Circuit Court
and acquitted.
The firing was done by persons con
cealed in Callahan's barn. Sebastian
was shot in the shoulder and is not
expected 10 live. A mule rode by
Willie Deaton was instantly killed.
Sebastian and his friends ran up the
creek in an attempt 20 escape, but were
cred on again by Galatians bench
men, VINO followed them, using steel
ball rifles.
1t is reported here that as Sebas tian
and his friends passed hte home of
Lee Bowling. a brother-in-law of Ed
callahan, some of them tele-
phoned to Callahan, telling him that
his old enemy, Willie Deaton, was
coming that way, and that several
persons were with him, from which
news it is thought that Callahan
placed his men in readiness.
1t is alleged that on the day Of the
regular November election Callahan
appeared on the ground by daylight
with a wagonload of boxed Wlnches-
tiers and steel ball rifles covered with
hay, and announced that the votes
could be voted as they pleased, but
that he would count them.
The good citizens were much alarm
ed and appealed to citizens Of adjoin-
ing precincts and into the lower edge
OF Perry county TO come and help to
protect the polls. Thus serious
trouble was prevented.
Since that time Callahan has kept
several armed men around him, and
1t is alleged is operating a blind IT,
ger in his store.
Ira Cornett. citizen carrying medi
cine to Sebastian the wounded man,
was fired upon from near Calahan's
house.
Great excitement exists throughout
the county and more trouble is fear
ed.
Callahan's home the scene of this
trouble, is located at Crockettsville,
near the mouth of Longs creek TWEEN
ty-three miles from Jackson.and near
the Perry county line. Sebastian, the
wounded man Is Constable OF Breathitt
county and a citizen of good repute.

MOST REMARKABLE
FILIPINO sUPERSTITIONS
How to Make a Cat Stay at
Home---To Find your Way
In The Woods.

In the Philippines, more, perhaps,
than in any other country, says a
correspondent Of the Cebu Courier,
the inhabitants believe In numerous
superstitions. In many places the be-
lief is so strong that with each every
day act and occurrence there Is as
ISOLATED some superstitious belief.
To domesticate a cat. as soon as 1t
is acquired take Il three times around
the stove then pull out some of it's
whiskers and bury 1t (the whiskers.
not the cat) in the ashes The cat
will never return to Its former home
When a wild COW is bought or OBJ
tanned the new owner must lead II
three times around the barn or other
place where he desirs II 10 sleep. He
must then take from the animals
nose the loop by which 1t was led
and bury 1t in some spot where the
COW has circled. This must be done
In the twilight. In the future the
animal without any guidance, will
every evening, promptly lie down in
this very place when returning from
the fields.
When the cornfields are visited by
the small worms which greatly damage
the crops the farmers have a peculiar
way of destroying them without
trouble. without letting any one
know, the farmer goes to the field.
takes seven worms strings them on a
broken-eyed needle and then buries
them in the seventh hill OF the
seventh row Of corn. The worms will
die out in numbersand In a couple
Of days the field will be free from
them. This must be done secretly in
the twilight or the charm will be
broken.
Often a whole piece of bamboo is
found in which black ants have made
their nest, there being, however, no
visible entry. Fisherman always hunt
for this peculiar bamboo to assure
themselves of good fishing. They use
IL as one of the frames in their fish
ing corral, and the presence of this
bamboo charms the fish Of the corral,
and consequently rich haul will be
made.
Once heard a mother say that
none Of her children ever fell down
stairs In spite OF the fact that their
steps were badly constructed and dan
gerous. She accounted for this very
easily. She said that whenever a
child became a year old she cut a
lock Of his hair. wrapped IL in piece
Of paper and put II in one OF the crack
OF the stairs. The children might
come near falling, but never actually
did SO for they would always find
something TO catch hold of.
1t is almost a general custom in the
PHILIPPINES that after a wedding the
newly-married couple remains at home
II is believed that should they go on
trip by sea a storm would arise or
by and some mishap would overtak
them.
When the mountain people lose the
way In the woods they have a simple
and sure way of finding the right path.
They take off their coat, turn il IN
side out and when thye put It on
again in this manner they have no
difficulty in reaching the place they
desire to go to.
Even to-day these superstitions are
generally believed by the mountain
people and they consider eel foolish
the person who ridicules them, for
they say they have been proved true
by experience.
