Editor of the News.
l have just visited your famous
county, l had been away seven.
teen years, l spent most of my
time in Illinois. but part in Mis-.
souri,. Iowa. Michigan. and now
live in Indiana.
I am proud to say that the
Kentucky people are the most
sociable, contented and religious
people / ever met. They have
their fun at the expense of each
other. The only way to keep out
OF trouble is to weigh the evil
dence carefully. l don't take any
thing that weighs less than six
teen ounces to the pound.
l remember the preachers use
to tell us money was the root of
all evil, but to day they are
using all the root they can get.
Things are changing, people in
time gone by wondered what the
next generation would do. But
we as a present generation ex-
pect the future generations to
wonder how we worked our slow
progress, as we do of the ancient
people.
think God unfolds hidden
treasures to the future genera
ton. Those old hills God made
for a purpose to hide beneath
their sumits something for a fu-
ture generation. 1t would be of
no use for us to hunt for some
thing God had hidden unless it
was the proper time to find the
hidden treasure.
1t would not be right for one
generation to enherit all of Gods
blessings. If it were so Gods
blessing in life would pass as
noted things, all things prove to
US God is immortal.
To we as ignorant people this
world is a mystery.

of my birth place.

customer is to sell him none but
good stock. This is absolutely
necessary. 1t will never do to
have spoilt egg go upon the
table of a discriminating custo-
mer who pays a big price for a
fine article.
If you aspire to highest-price
customers you should sell in
cartons, or neat paper boxes, with
each esq wrapped in tissue paper
in small compartment to itself.
At wholesale these boxes add but
little to the cost of production.
but greatly increase profits.
Have your name, business and
postofice address, with a beauti-
full poultry scene, printed on the
top of the box. These will add
much to your character as a
poultryman and enable you to
ask higher prices. But the
greatest thing is to live up to all
this by never meriting a COM
plant of any kind.
Before packing your eggs
they must be graded carefully.
White eggs should be put to
themselves and dark shelled ones
the same. Throw out all thai
are undersize, or oversize, or in
any way abnormal. Every egg
must be perfectly clean and
fresh. In hot weather they
should be gathered twice a day
and kept in a cool place. They
should be marketed. at longest,
once or twice a week. In de-
livering goods, your personal ap-
pearance and the character OF
your horse and vehicle will tell
decidedly upon your business.

PRUNING TREES - 1t should
begins when the tree is young
but little being done at time,
and should be continued as nee
essary to put and keep the tree
in the right shape. If the tree
trimmed is a young one. the rap
idity of the sap soon heals up
the wound. 1t is otherwise i n
the case of an old tree. T h e
time to prune fruit trees is usual
ly late in the fall, or early i n
winter before the sap has started
or in mid summer after it hi 8
thi kened so as not to
flow rapidly. But pruning may
be done at any time during the
year except March and April,
when it should be avoided both
for fruit and ornamt ntal trese.
Apples and pears should b e
taken from the tree before the
ripening process has advanced
far. A summer pear fully ripen-
ed in a cool, dry place not expos
ed to the air. The natural pro-
cess of ripening on the tree ap-
pears to benefit the seed merely,
while woody fiber is formed i n
the fruit, but If the fruit be taken
off and laid away just before be-
ginning to riIen, sugar and JUICE
are elaborated instead. Pears
otherwise inferior may thus be
made juicy and delicious.

ARE We GROWING BETTER.
The offer of SI,OOO,GOO a year
ground rent for an uninhabited
coral island just off the Bermudas
has been declined because it came
from a syndicate of gamblers
who proposed to erect a S3.000.-
900 casino there and establish
the most glittering gambling
house in the world. Recently
there was a rumor that Havana
was to become an American
Monte Carlo. but the proposed
casino was not established be-
cause the government did not
care to become responsible for it.
Public gambling has ended not
only in America but also in many
countries where it once fOuriSbed
without question. Germany and
France has practically extin-
guished it. England did long
ago. Even China is trying to do
so, and the islands near the Unit
ed States will have none of it
even at tempting prices. 1t
looks as if there is a worldwide
moral uplift. Of course there is
a great deal of surrepitious
gambling and some of it is not
especially well hidden, but there
is little of the wide open variety.

WISE WORDS BY UNCLE BEN.
If you would avoid limberneck,
allow no dead carcasses or mag
gots on your farm.
Every farmer can have plenty
of chickens and eggs if he will.
They save meat and are more
wholesome than so much bacon.
Chicken soup for dinner now and
then is certainly fine.
Letting chickens roost in the
trees is now out of date. Pure
air is necessary, but it is better
administered under cover where
there is no interference from
snow and rain. Also cold winds
are known to interfere with lay
ing propensities.
Do you notice how regularly
your chickens pick grass even in
the cold days of winter? Grass
should oe provided for them all
the year round. Bluegrass is the
best, as it stays green all winter.
Sow seed all around the house
and barn and outbuildings.
If you want plenty of eggs, by
all means have a woodland range
for your hens. Then scatter
cracked grain in the leaves where
the hens must stratch for all
they get. Nature fashioned the
hen to feed in this way and man
can't change her habit with i'm
punity.

The bulletin discusses the pre-

The bulletin discusses the pre-
ventive measures. It says:
Colds are contagious. They
are caused by germs. You catch
cold just as you catch diptheria.
The germs Of cold are spread
from the nose and mouth of one
person to another.
Drafts, vet feet. chilling of
the body and sudden changes of
temperature will not in them
selves cause a cold (stiff neck
and other muscular pains are
not here included). These condi-
tons may weaken the body, help
the germs, favor the develop
ment of colds and make them
worse. 1t is worth noting that
Artic explorers never suffer from
colds until they become infected
from their fellow men on their
return to civilization.
do not get close to others who
have colds.
Don't use handkerchiefs, tow
els and cups that have been used
by people who have colds. Even
though you do get your cold from
your neighbor, do not pass it on.
DO not sneeze or cough ex-
cept into your handkerchief.
do not spit on the floor; to do
so may spread colds, tuberculosis
and other diseas.
DO not neglect a cold. 1t
may lead to serious complications.
During the first few days if you
have fever, stay in bed. This
will help you and protect Others
from getting your cold. Take a
laxative, and use household rem
edies. If these do not help you,
call a doctor.
You will be able to resist the
germs causing colds if you keep
your body in good condition.
Breathe pure air, avoid dust,
take regular exercise; get plenty
of sleep and rest; eat wholesome
food, and do not sit for long hour:
in stuffy, close room.
Colds come from the bacteris
in your mouth. teeth, nose anC
throat; therefore, keep these
parts clean"

How TO AVOID A GOLD.

How TO AVOID A GOLD
The Kansas Board of Health,
in a bulletin, gives some facts
about colds and how to avoid
them. 1t is asserted that stuffy
room. or getting ones feet wet
does not necessarily mean that
one will catch a cold, but these
weaken the body so that the
germs are able to get in their
work.

Rabbits Attrack Man.

They used to tell in the pioneer
days of Oklahoma of hungry
jack rabbits attacking men on
the highway and decorating the
flesh of their legs. Here is a
true story told by a man from
Texas County:
The country was snowbound
recently and rabbits swarmed
around the house of.G. W. Camp
and snapped at him every time
he went out doors. Finally they
became so ferocious that he fear
ed to go out at all.
Things were getting ssdesper-
ate. Provisions were running
low and the hungry horde.of rab-
bits kept, growing larger and
larger. Camp, had locked the
barn door and kept the rabbits
away from the horses and cat
tie, but the stock were believing
and neighing night and day.
"Finallay Mrs. Camp suggest
ed that she scatter part of the
scant remaining provisions in
the house among the hungry
rabbits to divert their attention
from her husband while he went
into the yard. But they got
after him. andithe high boots he
wore alone saved his legs as they
snapped at him while he walked.
One big rabbit did get through
the leather and punctured one
leg.
I'm the barnlCamp found a
big rabbit sitting in a hens nest.
1t showed its teeth and would
have sprung upon him had he
not held it off with a pitchfork.
One of the horses came to the
rescue and kicked it to death. y

Gas forms in your stomach because the
food you eat ferments and turns sour.
Allow this fermentation to go on and
these gases become poisonous and the
poison gets into the blood.
MONA stomach tablets stop the fer
mentation almost instantly, turn the
noisonous gases into liquid, and elimi-
nate the poison mostly through the kid

If you have any stomach trouble such
as gas, sourness, heaviness. flatulency, or
