Great Ten Years for The
Farmers.

The farmers have never seen in all
their history ten such years as the
years the Dingley bill has been upon
the statute books. What If they have
had to pay a little more for cloth
ing and agricultural implements.
Have they not had the highest prices
in the history Of the world? And what
did they have under the last Tariff
reform years. They could buy. il
they had money to buy. cheap enough
God knows. The trouble with them
was that they had no money. The PR

Kentucky's Greatest Duroc Herd.

II is well worth the time TO anyone
interested in the rearing Of hogs. es-
pecially Duroc Jerseys. to visit the
hog breeding establishment Of Messrs-
Bardwell & Barnard. of MeHenry, KY,
says the Homestead. Their system of
caring for their hogs is almost ideal
They have them scattered over sew
eral farms and only a few In each
lot. Their lots contain six or eight
acres, half OF which are in clover and
half in woods. Not more than two
sows and filters will be found in any
of these lots. This gives the pigs
plenty of range and the thrift of
their pigs is the best evidence of the
advantages OF raising pigs in this
manner. The firm is enterprising and
always ready to buy anything that they
think will improve their herd. This
plan has been followed up until at the
present time they undoubtedly have
the best herd of Duroc Jerseys in the
Blue Grass State At the head OF
herd is Model Top, two-year boar
that bids fair to cause trouble in his
class this year. He has almost
perfect back, smooth and well balan-
ced all through. He was first at the
Kentucky State Fair and third at
the Iowa State Fair in 1907, also was
in the second prize get OF sire herd
at the latter show. He comes from
a good litter, as one of his litter
mates, Golden Model I'd, winner of
first at Sioux City last year, and Mod
ell Again are both at the head of
good Iowa herds. Model Girl, his
litter mate. was third at Des Moines
He is backed up by line OF breeding
that cannot help but reproduce well:
His breeding is combination of Col
onel, Top Notcher and Crimson Won
der families. There is little doubt in
our minds but what he will be a great
sire. The pigs on the farm sired by
him now leave little doubt as to his
ability as sire. Other bears in ser
vice are Ohio Chief Banner, a good
son OF Ohio Chief and Proud Advance
Again by Proud Advance. The pigs
number over $50 and are sired by their
herd bears. with three lltters by
Prince OF Colonels. one litter by High
Notcher. Others By High Chief. Ten
nessee Colonel and McNcils. Model.
Considering numbers. we have not
seen as good a bunch of pigs this
season. Nothing will be lfet undone
to make this one of the greatest Duros
Jersey herds in the United States.
With the fine equipment and the GOOD
foundation that they already have, the
big end Of the battle is fought Their
show herd is being fitted by that vet
eran filter, Mr.. James Conk, and IL
we mistake not. hogs from this herd
will be hard competition in nearly ev-
cry class at the fall shows. We will
have more to say about this farm la
ter on.

Wireless lower 500 Feet Hing.

The Government will this week call
for bids for the construction OF the
greatest wireless station that the
world has ever known. to be built
around a tower OF concrete that will
be one of the tallest structures on
earth. and will stand in a class all
by itself
The station is to be guaranteed TO
send out wireless messages to a dis
lance three times as great as that
reached by the plants at present in
existence. The thing is being brought
about through the Navy apartment
because Of its desire to reach it's
ships at sea. The machinery must be
guaranteed to deliver messages within
a radius Of 5000 miles. To-day wire
less can be depended on to reach
no further than 1000 miles and the
deliveries are uncertain.
A pittsburg firm was awarded the
contract. and the machinery has al
ready been built. Then the Govern
ment found it necessary to build a
tower in proportion to the machinery.
900 feet with a base of 80 feet dia-
meter tapering to feet at the top.
The station is TO be located in
Rock Creek Park. in the District of
Columbia 1t will be the tallest struc-
lure In America outside of New York

GOOD WHOLESOME
FRESH eggs.
Incompatible as a Means Of
Health as Well as of
Sustenanee.

Some people contend. says the Bos-
ton Cooking School Magazine, that an
egg is an egg. So it is. But to ascer-
tain its true value take a fresh-laid
egg. weigh il first. then weigh a cold
storage. OF. as We say. store egg. -
and note the result. The difference
in weight is an illustration OF the diff
ference in food value
Let US take q fresh egg and see
how many different practical uses
We can put it to. and first of all
in a medical way. To the white Of an
egg, shaken in half a glass OF cold
water until light and foamy. add the
juice Of half a lemon. fill the glass
with water. sweeten to taste, and
you have a delightful refreshing drink
known as and called "albumen water. -
There is nothing better. although
not generally known. than the white
of an egg for burns. You simply sepa
rate the white and yolk, and put the
white on the scald or burn. Should
the burn be on the fingers. wrap each
one separately. with the white of
egg and old linen. The white of egg
forms coating on the burnt skin:
it excludes the air. and thus stops
the dreadful pain.
The white of one egg. beaten light.
then mixed with the juice of half
lemon. without sugar. will relieve
d cough and hoarseness
White of egg is an excellent remedy
in extreme cases OF bowel trouble. es-
pecially dysentery Beat it fairly light
with or without a little powdered
sugar, always using a pinch OF salt.
and take ii in one OF two swallows.
II tends to lessen inflammation by
forming transient coating to the in
testines. so that Mother Nature may
proceed on her way to health again.
This is food, as well as medicine. and
even child may be given many dose
in day.
When tired. raw egg is most ex-
cellent, particularly when the appe-
lite is poor. Have the egg cold; break
the shell and drop gently into a
small glass tumbler When ready to
take, prick the yolk with the point
of a clean needle, and swallow it
quickly. II you use wine, put a tea
spoonful in the glass first, then the
egg. and take in one mouthful. You
may think this impossible at first.
but II Is easy enough after a few at
tempts Always close the mouth as

Immediately. Another way for those
who prefer to drink their food, as is
often the case during convalescent, is
to beat an egg very light, put it in
a pretty cup and fill the cup with beef

KENTUCKY COVERING
ITS FORESTS.
Inventory Of the State Product
Well Under Way-Indi-
viduals are Interested.

Kentucky. which is one Of the chief
hardwood producing states in the
+. Union. and the first state in the pro-
duction Of yellow popular. is making
good progress in the movement for
the preservation Of It's forestz- In
1906. the Legislature enacted the law
providing for the State Board
Of Agriculture, Forestry and I'm
migration During the following win
ter the Board asked and received the
cooperation Of the United States For
est Service in a study Of the forest
conditions Of the State This work wa
begun two years ago and an exaInina-
ton Of half area Of forset land in
the state has been completed The re
suit Of the first years work. covering
the eleven most eastern counties Of
the state Is published in the Ken
lucky Handbook. 1SOs-1SO7. The sec
ond report, now in the hands Of the
State Board of Agriculture. covers
forty-eight counties. largely In the
coal mining regions OF the state.
When this investigation is completed
Kentucky will have an excellent in
ventory Of its lumber resources.
The manner in which the forestry
problem has been approached indiea-
ties that the people Of the state rea-
lie that the ultimate solution Of the
impending timber scarcity must, for
the farmer. depend largely on how he
handles his individual timber resoUr-
ces. and that there is no better way
than for him to consider the wood
let as a bank account, using the in
terest which is constantly accruing.
but leaving the capital undiminished.
Much educational work. however, will
be needed TO secure this desirable
end.
The second report OF the Forest Ser
vice suggests a forest Law. Among it's
important features is a provision for
the appointment Of a State Forester.
The wisdom Of this is evident since
only by the appointment Of a State
Forester can the work in co-opera-
ton with the Forest Service he main
tanned and carried 10 a successful con-
clusion. Until such time, however. as
the State Of Kentucky is ready to
assume the management OF its own
forest problems. the National Service
is willing and anxious 10 cooperate
In every way possible for the further
ance Of forestry among private own
ers in Kentucky. In the co-opera-
tive Investigations OF forest resour-
ces now in progress, the government
spent over $4,000 TO duplicate a SINH
lar amount appropriated by the state.
Kentucky has always been rich in
forest resources. but like many other
states has reached the point where
the timber will hereafter be produced
On a continually decreasing scale. and
il Is necessary TO protect and use
carefully the forests which remain.
In 1899 Kentucky cut $4,000. 900
board feet Of hardwood lumber In
1907 the cut was 1854 ,sOS 900 board
feet, an increase of only sixteen per
cent in the past nine years. In the
same period the cut OF yellow popu-
lar has fallen off over twentyfour per
per cent. During the same time the
rices OF lumber at the mill have ad-
Vanced on an average OF sixty-fiye
per cent, and the demand has in
creased accordingly.
