Gun, License and

Editor Tmes-Repubiican have
read many articles of late pertaining to
the propagation and protection of game

my ideas on these questions, which l
feel sure will interest those who love
TO hunt for the sake of sport and recre-

We're the leading spirits in promoting

I have hunted the prairie chicken

from fifty to 100 birds in one day with

historic buffalo these birds are and will
be thing. of the past in this part of
the country.
that has caused the scarcity, but the
rapid civilization and tilling of the
soil or prairie, which is the home of
this passing bird. In my opinion this
has done more toward making a
scarcity OF the prairie chicken than the
gun. and there is no possible way of

The quail are now the only game

grouse. that are not migratory. They

these birds. Plant two trees for every

"All forestry and timber experts
tell us that we are using our trees
three or four times as fast as Nature
is growing them, and that we are
rapidly approaching a timber famine
that will prove most disastrous to
the whole country. This being true,
it is the duty of every landhclder TO
plant a small per cent. at least of
his land to suitable trees.
1--WE shall be helping to keep a
supply of trees so badly needed and
at the same time derive, in most
cases, a very much greater income
from the land devoted TO forestry
than We do from the lond growing
ordinary farm crops.
There have been many failures
by reason Of getting the wrong kind
of catalpa trees, and also by plant
ing in unsuitable places and failing
to give the trees proper attention
for couple of years after planting.
IF my own large planting of cat
alpa trees, which is proving so very
profitable may be the means of
calling the attention of landholders
everywhere to the possibilities in
Intelligent tree farming, then l shall
feel that my work has been of bene-
fit TO many"
The forestry school of Berea Col
lege is beginning this spring to
plant catalpa trees. 1t had been plan.
ed to start them some time ago. but
there was delay But thousands Of
these trees viii be set out this
spring, and every mountain farmer
ought to take a day off once a year
from now on, when he is in Berea,
and go up and see that catalpa glove.
The speed of growth will surprise
any one, and the man who fails to
see in that form of planting a way
TO wealth will be blind indeed.

Solution to Problem No. Il

A man desires to set out a rectan-
gular orchard of S64 trees, so placed
that the number of rows shall be to
the number of trees in a row, as 2
to 2. If the trees are yards apart
Bow much ground will the garden
occupy?
The ratio of to equals IL.
s64 divided by 1 1-2 equals SIC.
Square root of $40 equals "a, num-
Der of trees crosswise and also mum
Der of rows lengthwise Of garden.
g64 divided by "a equals Sc, number
of trees lengthwise also number of
rows crosswisA
Since there are "a trees crosswise
there would be "a less l equals y
space of seven yards each.
23x7 equals 161 yds, width of garden.
Again, if there be SO trees lengthwise,
there would be SO less l equals 50

ern states, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and our
next nelghbor Tennessee have already
joined this movement Surely it is
time for Kentucky to show herself
alive to library interests too.
Let us imagine ourselves citizens
OF one of these states that have IL
brary commissions and that we live
in a town about the size of Berea,
but it is no college town and has no
library. There is a small but wide
awake woman's club in the town, the
ladies had felt the need of social in
tercourse and some interest TO lift
their thoughts beyond their daily dut
les and had formed this club, which
they had named the Progress club.
After It had been in existence about
year, the community began to feel
the pressure of the increased cost Of
living, under which we are all groan-
ing and when the program committee
met that fall they wanted to begin
study of the economic conditions
of life in small towns. They found
great difficulty in laying out a pro-
gram for this study, and also that
they had very little literature on the
subject So they sent letter to the
Secretary of the Library Commission
in their state, asking for suggestions
and also making request for one of
the travelling libraries which the
commission sends out They wanted
a collection of books, right up-to-date,
on this subject of better living, cheap
eT living and happier living in
small town. In a few days their
answer came from the Secretary, bet
ter even than they had hoped. She
offered a few definite suggestions
in a courteous way, leaving much
for them to work out themselves.
The travelling library was a collection
Of about 25 books so practical, so in
teresting that before long several OF
the husbands of the members were
reading them during the long winter
evenings. The storekeepers got new
ideas about what to carry in stock,
the town board read OF Improvements
that were being made in other towns
in regard to taxation, care of the
streets, water supply, sanitation, etc,
and that little town was a healthier
and more prosperous place than ever
before. They had better things to
eat. took better care of their yards,
and learned in many ways how 20
make a dollar go farther for the COM
fort of their homes and families.
Now while this is an imaginary pic
ture. it is also the history of
similar experience in many a COM
munity. And because We know what
has followed in many cases, we can
forecast without too great a stretch
Of the imagination, what will hap
pen in this town in the future.

LIBRARY MOVEMENT

On Jan. 10, of this year, bill was
introduced into the Senate, which is
in line with the forward movement in
education that is now sweeping over
our commonwealth. 1t is the bill to
create a Library Commission in Ken
lucky, and has not yet been voted on.
1t is not too late for each voter who
reads this article to send letter 10
his Senator, urging the passage of
this bill. Thirty-three states have al
ready established library commissions,
Massachusetts, having been the first
to do SO in 1890. Among the South
