In Paducah there is a copy Of the
Ulster County (N. " Gazette, pub
lished Saturday, January 4, 1890,
and containing an account of the
death of George Washington. The
paper is owned by Mr.. Finis Dunn,
425 South Sixth street, and is valued
highly by him because Of the small
number of copies OF the paper in
existence. He received the paper
from his father, who resided in Padu-
cab before the Civil wal, and had the
old newspaper in his possession for
many years. Although yellow with
age the print is read easily. It is
characteristic newspaper OF its day,
and its write-ups are quaint. II was
printed on a hand press, and consists
Of four pages, each page containing
four columns
The first page Is devoted TO the
news from congress and clippings
from London papers several months
old. The two inside pages are ruled
heavily in mourning for the death
Of Washington with the account OF
his death. No doubt the paper is the
only one OF its kind In Paducah and
possibly in the state, as the circula
tion OF even a New York newspaper
did not reach into the thousands III
years ago.

will think of selling their stock; in
fact, some may have to. AS a result
1t will be cheap. Stock is the very
best part of farming, and every effort
should be made to keep the stock. If
nothing but the straw can be had, feed
them that. There will also be consid-
cradle grain that will make excellent
stock feed. If the grain crop is burn
ing up it will yet make good feed and
should be made into hay; even if it is
dried up the food is still in it. By all
means hang on to the stock, and if
possible buy more, now that they are
cheap. BY the time another season
rolls around and feed is abundant then
stock will be exceptionally high. 1t

only too often the farmer is not aware
of his lack of knowledge. The city
man has the advantage that he realizes
his ignorance and is willing to learn.
On the other hand, 1t is pointed out
that the advantages of farming must
not be overlooked. In the first place,
the farmer, if he is at all successful.
has no fear of being displaced. He
commands his own time and leads an
independent life. IN the second place,
if he is wise, he may himself produce
nearly all the food necessary for his
family. He may maintain a good gar
den, an orchard, a flock of poultry,
keep few COWS and pigs, and grow
most Of his own bread. If the wife
and daughters know how to prepare
food in an appetiZing manner and UNI
derstand how to be frugal, the actual
money expense for the farm living
may be made very small, while at the
same time the standard of living, from
the standpoint of food, may be much
higher than is possible even with
wealthy people in the city.
The income from farming depends
more upon the farmer himself than it
does upon any other one factor. An
man who must depend upon
his own labor may live we'll on the
farm after he has acquired a satisfac-
tory knowledge of the business. If he
can command considerable capital he
may profit by the labor of others, and
If his capital is large enough and he Is
a good business manager, he may live
even luxuriously. But the beginner,
even with considerable capital, must
be prepared to bear some hardships
while he Is learning the business.

THE CITY MAN AND THE FARM.

A little pamphlet issued by the
United States department OF agricul
ture throws some Interesting light Oh
the back of the farm" movement. The
department does not especially recon-
mend engagement in farming by city
men who have had no experience in
the business of farming. 1t points out
sensibly enough, that farming is a
business like any other line of bust,
ness, and cannot he entered into by
every one without experience or prev
ious knowledge with the best chances
for success. OF course there are some
exceptions.
At the Iowa state corn show in 1909
the ear of corn which took the grand
championship prize, aud which sold at
auction for $3.50, vas produced by a
farmer who ten years previously was
driver of a laundry wagon in the
city of Des Moinee 1t must be recog-
nized, however, that men who have
thus succeeded have invariably been
men of unusual ability.
The point that is emphasized by the
department, and it is worth emphasis,
is that the man who engages in farm
ing must be prepared for hardships,
disappointments and reverses, and
must be willing to study hard and
learn. He must profit from scientific
agriculture and learn how to dispose
his time and his energy to the best
account. On this point it is said:
In some respects it is more difficult
from city employment and establish
oneself on the land than it was a gen.
Grafton ago. At that time there was
plenty of land 10 be homesteaded. Els
pecially in the middle west, where
most of this land was available, the
soil was rich and it's fertility needed
no attention. 1t did not take long for
the beginner to learn how to grow
crops successfully on this rich vir-
gin soil and to make farming distinct
ly profitable. When good land was
thus available for the taking, thou
sands of farm homes were successfully
established by men having little prev
ious knowledge of the business. At
the present time there is practically
no desirable land left for homestead
The beginner must buy land usually
at a considerable expense. Not only
that, but in most parts of the country
the land has been farmed so long
without attention to fertility that it
will no longer produce crops by the
slipshod methods formerly in vogue.
and knowledge of prin-
ciples are therefore much more neces-
sary at the present time than was the
case a generation ago. In fact, many
farmers today are not
making a good living for the simple |
season that they do not possess the
of the principles involved |

Gold Heated Water.

Over 4.OOO years ago an elaborate
system of filtration was established by
the Egyptians to purify the waters Of
the Nile. In both Rome and Athens hot
water was drunk in preference to
cold by the small minority who used
water for drinking purposes. Cham
pier. writing in 1850, notes that the
habit of drinking hot water was
spreading among all classes in France.
"Some warm it by holding it over the
fire. Others dip burning bread into it.
Rich people plunge bar of hot gold
Into their water before drinking it.
and the less wealthy II bar Of hot iron.
while the very poor are content to
warm their drink with live coal.'
