OF CAR SHORTAGE
Owensboro Coal Dealers Having

shortage which occasions them trou-
BILE at some time during zach winter
and it is with the or attest difficult
ty that they are able 10 have the
mines fill their orders for coal says
the Owensboro Messenger.
The miros on the l.. and y. rail-

for coal If they could get the cars
in which to make the shipments, but
as there seems TO be a car famine
throughout the entire central west
part Of tka country, the limited sup
ply of coal cars is in great demand.
The railroad people explain the
shortage by saying that Tor years
thsy have depended Oh the coal cars
of the Southwestern roads, and that
under ordinary circumstances they
would have supply of cars,
but hat during the strikes of the
miners throughout the west ctntral
part of tn country, he foreign cars
on the Eastern lines were net held
by IT,. roads. but were returned to

ard hat now it is impossible to
have them SEM 10 this section Of

The Vanishing Hickory Supply

hickory timber is getting scarce in
the United States and there is no
foreign supply that may be drawn

the forestry experts of the Depart
nnent Of Agriculture.
IhCkory has many uses and hck-
Org timber has always been in good
dtrnand. The department says it
hak important special uses for which
no satisfac ,Ory substitute Is known"
Despite the fact II Is estimated that
fully 40 per cAt of the merchant
able hickory cut each year Is vast
ed Possibly it is not being wasted
now TO the extent ii was wasted in
the past. but forty per cont of the
annual cut is a great deal OF timber

POULTRY POINTS.

The fairs this season have develop
Cd many new breeders who give pro-
mise of considerable prominence.
Among the chicen classes, Rhode
Island Reds have taken the lead with
new exhibitors. They mature early
and are persistent layers.
White Rocks are coming to the
front because of their white plumage,
great laying propensity, early maturi-
y and fine appearance en- the table.
Barred Rocks are holding their own
as the farmers general utility fowl.
AS an all purpose fowl nothing wears
so we'll as this breed.
White Orpingtons are considered
by all who know them as the great
est egg producers on the market as
we'll as excellent table fowls.
The shiny black rlumage of ahe
Langshans has many admirers and
their friends know them as great
winter layers and they fill a dish on
the table equal TO a turkey.
Leghorns are always to the front
as veritable egg machines. Keep their
combs and gills from freezing and
they will fill the egg basket
Many fine coops of the Wyando to
families have been shown to great
advantage and their friends ara many.
Few exhibits have made such a
fine APPEARANCE as the Brahmas and
Cochins In their size and rich COL
orings. The fancy little Ban,gs are
always in evidence and keep things
lively.
Among the turkeys the MASSIVE
bronze fellows are the favorites, some

INTENSIVE CULTIVATION FOR
TIMOTHY HAY.

How can a timothy meadow be cul-
tiva5ed? Not after the seed Is sown.
1t must be done prior to that time
and should be most thoroughly done.
According to the late George NJ
Clark of Higganum, Conn, who sue
ceoded in raising more hay TO the
acre than any other man in this
country. the land should be in ,erslve-
ly cultivated all of the precious sum-
mer with plows, discs and harrows.
Then the LIST to the 18th of Septem-
ber a heavy application OF complete
fertilizer. as much as six hundred
pounds to the acre should be made,
thds worked in with disc and harrow,
and the seed sowed by the hand both
ways and this worked in with smooth
ing harrow. Mr. Clark always claim
ed that too much seed could not be
put on the land, because II it should
fall to thick on one place, nature
would kill out the surplus. A
heavy stand should be obtained and
In the spring three to four hundred
pounds Of fertilizer should again be
applied and you can then count on
big crop OF fine hay. Mr.. Clark
secured seven tons to the acre In
two cuttings and his meadows last
ed for thirteen years. He always fer
tilized every year ard found it paid
him handsomely. Try it. farmers.

Rig Cotton Sale.

One of the biggest cotton deals that has been consummated in this county for many moons was the sale of l,20O bales Wednesday by Pettus X Buford through Mir. Joe Newborn to the big English cotton house of Robert Wool fenden X Go. After being compressed by the Forrest City Compress Con- pany, this l 200 bales will be shipped direct from Forrest City to Liverpool, and there delivered to spinners. We congratulate Pettus & Buford upon the satisfactory price received, Mir. Newborn upon his splendid engi, neering and management of the deal, and all concerned upon their good fortune. We understand that this is probably the last big cotton deal that will likely take place in Forrest City this season, other large holders hav- ing already disposed of the greater portion of their holdings.
