THE YARD.


Heap on more wood the wind is chill
But let 1t whistle AS it will,
Wen keep our Christmas merry still,
Sir Walter Scott.
Biddie' 8 valuable gift ON Christmas
morning is fresh eggs.
The lively, busy pullet is nov send
ing JOY to the hen plant.
More quality and less quantity is q
good motto to start out on.
Fowls love to thrash out n bundle Of
millet or Kaffir, and IL does one good to
step around to the door Of the poultry
house and listen to the merry chatter
while the fowls are digging in the
straw.
Some farmers neglect the twenty-five
&c fifty cents that the ~battening of
cracks in the coop would cost, and
each month feed a dollars worth Of
extra corn In order TO supply the ami.
NAL heat needed.
The answer to the question, Does win
ter poultry payf depends in a large
measure upon where your hens are roost'
ing. II on the bare branches Of q
tree, on the northeast corner Of the
barn, there can DO no doubt about it.
There is a disposition 10 sit around
and sleep in winter. Hens viii drop
into that habit if you do not help them
10 stir around and work for their liv'
ing. That Is Why a scratching shed is
good, and why plenty Of litter keeps
the fowls healthy.
Scatter q little grain among litter at
noon, aud give a full feed at night.
What il meant by a full feed Of grain
is about a good handful for each fowl
in tn pen. A mixture Of kafir, maize,
millet and corn, equal parts by meas
urement, makes an excellent mixture for
winter.
Now when the old year Is passing,
our thoughts are apt TO wander back
reviewing the poultry work Of the past
season. We can all see past mistakes
and how We can improve matters next
season, and, seeing, we should resolve
to do our best, and then keep the reso'
luton.
You may have some old hens that

The KnOcker Knocked.

One of the most sensible men
in Alabama is the editor of that
excellent weekly paper known as
the Bridgeport (Ala.) News
Read what he has to say concern
ing the chronic knocker:
when the editor of the News
located in Bridgeport he had no
idea whatever of attempting to
publish a paper which would at
all compare with the city papers.
We intended only to publish a
country weekly paper as good as
the facilities and enterprises of
the town would afford and sup
port. In this we have been sue
cessful. The editor understands
some chronics are dissatisfied
with the News and are knocking
it, stating in substance that it
amt worth a cent no way It
is mighty disloyal to your town
to knock the home paper or any
other home industry. 1t is NIGH
ty disloyal to your town to not
subscribe for the home paper. 1t
is mighty disloyal to the paper
to not pay for it after you have
subscribed, and it is downright
meanness to knock the paper
while still owing one or two
years. subscription, and if these
knockers were traced up it would
be found that most of them be-
long to the latter class. If you
want to knock, please call and
pay up what you owe and you
have our consent to get your lit
tie Ratchet and go to work as
persistently as you please.
We believe the News will COM
pare favorably with other weekly
papers of this section, and while
we would, of course, like the
favorable comment of every citi-
zen of Bridgeport and vicinity,
we don't care a continental about
the brayings of the knockers.
We consider the source from
which it comes, ond others do

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS.
1--WE see in the establishment
of county high schools in every
county in the State the final over
throw Of ignorance and the real
beginning of the reign of univer-
sal education that will give Ken
lucky an ideal democracy.
eve stand for an education
that will prepare every boy and
girl to do most for self as we'll as
most for humanity, and to this
end we shall strive to have all
children so taught that they may
develop, conserve and use to the
best advantage the wonderful
natural resources of our great
State.
eve realize the wisdom of our
last two Legislatures in creating
and literally maintaining two
Normal Schools. We know that
without teachers literally educa-
ted and skillfully trained our
schools can, at best, be only a
partial success.
r"We desire to go on record in
an especial manner in the ex-
preston of our approval and ap-
probation of the work done in
the Western Kentucky State
Normal in the Western Kentuc-
ky State Normal School. We
have already felt a wonderful
awakening in Western Kentucky
as the result Of work done in the
State Normal School.
WANT AN APPROPRIATION.
AS true friends of education
we pledge our influence to the
fullest extent to secure for the
two normal schools of Kentucky
and our State university liberal
treatment in a financial way at
the hands of our next Legisla-
ture commensurate with the Dig

education. Knowing that no

is in the senate and in the hands of

lieves Mr.. Aldrich to be with him in
his efforts for a tariff revision down

TAEACTION against reforms in the
~ direction of parliamentary gov
Ia eminent has come in Turkey,
just as predicted by many
when the constitutional regime was in
augurated last summer. 1t was said
then that the empire of the sultan was
not yet ready for the democratic ideas
proposed. The outbreaks which have
put the empire close to the throes Of
revolution have been deferred longer
than many thought possible, but they
have now brought about condition of
anarchy which BODIES i'll for the prog
ress of constitutional principles in the
near future. The Young Turk party,
headed by the committee of union and
progress, seems to have taken the reins
Of government and gone at too hot
headed pace, with the result that a
reactionary sentiment was created
and the downfall of the ministry was
brought about. The Young Turk party
is believed to have made a great mis-
take when it broke with the expert
enced statesman and proved friend of
liberal ideas who was the first pre-
mier, Kiamil Pasha, last February.
Since his resignation and the appoint
ment as his successor of Hilmi Pasha
the situation of the committee of union
and progress has gone from bad to
worse. Its embarrassment was aggra-
waited by the dictatorial course Of some

work of still further arousing the
people to proper sense of neg

them in a hearty, united and de-

equal to those of any other to

monwealths.
Realizing tn a t education
which does not develop the pow
er of heart, head and hand falls
short Of the ideal, we stand for
school curriculum that will give
to Kentucky boys and girls rich
development in right living and
broad intellectually, together
with skill in the mechanical, ag-
ricultural and domestic arts.

to support and defend the funda-

senators when the faint gray light Of
a Taft dawn appeared.
Senator Aldrich, whose son married
a daughter of John d. Rockefeller. is
said to have declared that a thousand
men knew Mr.. Rockefeller better than
he did In fact, the senator has been
quoted as saying that, except at his
daughters wedding and a casual meet
ing on Fifth avenue. New York, on
Sunday in the early fall, he has not
seen Mr.. Rockefeller and did not learn
his views about the Taft candidacy
throughout the entire campaign last
year. Senator Aldrich was one of
the first to attempt to reach Mr.. Rock
efeller to persuade him not to indorse
the candidacy of Mr.. Taft in a public
letter 4 few days before election day.
The senator failed in his mission. but
he drew the gratitude of the president
for his attempt.
Senator Aldrich, in harmony with
many of the older senate leaders, is
more than willing to do business on
an amicable basis with President Taft.
They welcome new era in his incum-
bency of the White House on the
ground that they now have somebody

they can argue without being scalped
