A Freak OF Nature.

\ freak of nature was witnessed
in Richmond last week when a
fine mare belonging to J. r. Az
bell, the well-known liveryman,
gave birth to mule colt having
two perfect heads. four perfect
front feet and two backbones
tapering at the hips into only two
hind feet, together with the hind
quarters being as perfect as any
ordinary mule. The colt was born
alive but only lived a short time.
More than a thousand citizens
viewed the animal, which was pro-
nounced to be one of the most
wonderful freaks of nature ever
seen.

Flames at Lexington Destroy
StOCkydrdS.

Fire destroyed the Gentry &
THOMPSON stockyards in Lexing-
ton last week, destroying nearly
all the buildings, sixty horses and
forty mules. The total loss, in
GLIDING the livestock, is estimated
at nearly 500, 900. The loss on
buildings, feed, vehicles; and SINH
lar property is about SIS, 200,
is nearly covered by insurance.
The loss on live stock is estimated
at about $25, 900. on which there
was probably no insurance, as
most of the stock belonged to vari-
Gus persons and was only tempo
rarily in the yards.
Over 100 head of horses and
mules were rescued by being
driven from the barns, but the
fire spread so rapidly that it was
impossible to save them all.
The barns destroyed were in
many instances detached, but fed
by the indammahle material of
feed and frame buildings the
flames coul1 not be stopped, and
in an hour the destruction was
complete. The fire started in the
main building at the north end of
the rows of barns and broke out
with startling suddenness.
James Beckley, the Waterman,
had been in this building five
minutes before the flames broke
out, eating his lunch, and saw no
signs of fire. Beckley was badly
burned while attempting to get
out the livestock. 1t is believed
the fire was caused by some tramps
who were sleeping in the barn.

lucky to give their cooperation in
bringing this vitality important
subject before the members of
their respective churches. 1t is
estimated that in this way over
$50. 900 persons in Kentucky will
be enlisted in this movement.
In one respect Tuberculosis
Dav" of this year will differ from
Tuberculosis Sunday" of 1910.
Instead of requesting the churches
to give to the tuberculosis cause
a special Sunday service, the State
Association is this year going to
ask that meetings st which Tuber-
culosis and its prevention be dis
cussed, be held on Sunday. April
80, or on any day near that. date,
either in the week preceding or
the week following. The object
is to get as many people in Ken
lucky as possible to think about
this great problem at the same
time.
1t is conservatively estimated
that there are in Kentucky today
at least 10000 persons suffering
from the disease in some form or
other.
The State Association is plan
ming to distribute educational leaf
lets in connection with this day
and it is earnestly desired that
the public will take an active part
in stamping out this preventable
disease which sends over $500 OF
citizens to an early grave every
year. and causes an economic loss
to our State of over $4,000, 900
annually.

CHERRY FREE DISEASES.

Leaf-spot and milldew-the first.
named disease Is caused by what is
called "Shot-hole Fungus" and may
be successfully prevented by the use OF
Bordeaux mixture. except that only
half the strength Of the mixture may
be applied with safety to the foliage OF
the cherry. The mildew Is usually
found chiefly upon sprouts and young
shoots. If spraying is required Tor
mildew, two applications will prob
ably be very satisfactory
Leaf-spot symptoms are every
where abundant and are really OF very
diverse origin. In any example In
which the leaf issues are locally IN

A STUMP

An asy way to remove stumps,
where time is not an object, is to dig
q trench beside the stump and then
to bore a diagonal hole through the
stump SO that the lower end of the
hole will be near the top OF the
trench and the upper end some dis
lance above the ground. Build a
fire in the trench and partially cover
it so hat the flame will draw
through the auger hole like it would
through q flue. AS Don as the fire
is started a draft is created through
auger hole and this helps TO fire
the stump much more rapidly. This
requires no great equipment
