Fourthly. Mr.. Gerald Walters, a
young man. had come down from the

Sixthly, bills were posted for a cir
Gus to show at Farmville. 1t was the
usual Mammoth Aggregation, but It
had one feature never shown before in
any circus on the face Of the globe. It
had wild man from Africa who lived
on raw meat and bananas, and who
had to be kept chained In cage.
The name Of the wild man was
"zam." He consumed sixteen pounds
Of raw meat daily, and on top Of that
three times a week, he devoured a
bunch OF bananas.
He was the strongest man, Wild or

CLEAN EMBROIDERY At HOME
Simple Matter When One Has Learn

Go About II.

Apropos Of embroidery, lace-msk

know how to clean articles OF this
kind. without having to send them 10

II you viii wash all your fine en-
broideries yourself by the following
method, not trusting them to the hired
raaid or washerwoman, you win, no
doubt have splendid results.
Put a half pint of bran into the
same amount Of cold water and let II
come to boil slowly. After 1t has
boiled twenty minutes, strain on the
bran water and add pint OF boiling
water Use this mixture instead Of
soap when washing fancy work, fne
embroideries and laces for the first
time. Be careful not to rub wiring or
twist them, but just squeeze them
gently with the hands after the first
washing in this manner. Soap jelly

In boiling water may be used.
A little salt added to the rinse wa
ter, which should be clean and mod
erately hot, will set the color in EN-
broidery silks and cottons, If there is
any fear OF them running. It is best
to immerse colored embrolderies In
strong salt water before they are
washed at all; then there will be no
danger of the colors running
Fancy work should be dried as

over folded blanket covered with a

SPREAD MANURE EVERY DAY
Practice Greatly Reduces Possibility
of Losing FertiIIzing Elements
Cart ls Handy.

A careful and intelligent use of
stable manure will build up the fer.
tility of any farm. The trouble with
the average former is that he wastes
his manure. The habit of regarding
manure as valueless is one of the
most expensive a farmer can have.
To properly conserve manure the
liquids as well as the solids should be
collected. For this purpose it is well
to have the floors Of the stalls so that
they will drain easily into a water
tight gutter at the rear. This gutter
should be stopped at both ends, but
one end should be lower than the
other to allow the liquids to drain to
that end.
Manure should be spread every day
when it is possible. This Is very i'm
portant, as it greatly reduces the
chances of losing the fertilizing ele-
ments. In summer it can be spread on
the field from which the soiling crops
have been removed, and in winter on
grain fields. Newly seeded fields
should not be MANFRED.
A hand cart may be used for spread
ing manure. Where there are large
number of cattle or horses, a special
dump cart, drawn by single horse,
may be used. Daily spreading insures
that any teaching by rains shall carry
the leached materials into the soil
where they are wanted.

TREATING HORSE FOR WORMS
Three Excellent Remedies Given That
Have Been Tried and Found
Satisfactory.

This is one of the best worm de-
stroyers for unthrifty colts and horses
that We have ever tried. Mix together
one pound each Of sugar and salt: in
this mix One-half pound of fine smoh-
ing tobacco, six ounces Of powdered
sulphate of iron. AS a dose for a ma
ture horse give heaping tablespoon
full in a wheat-bran mash every
morning for two weeks. Colts should
be given in smaller proportion to size
and age.
A veterinary supply house advises
the following remedy for worms in
horses: Give teaspoonful of pow
dered copper sulphate every morning
in feed for three or four days, then
give two ounces Of turpentine in a
pint of raw linseed OIL Feed soft feed
and keep the infected animal in the
stable while under treatment.
A veterinary physician, signing no
name, suggests this treatment in an
exchange: Clear the bowels by allow
ing the horse to fast over night, and
give in the morning two ounces of
turpentine in pint of raw linseed oil
or Cruel, followed in the course of an
hour with a bran mash; repeat this
for two or three mornings. Santosin
in half or one-ounce doses, made into
powders, with linseed meal, may be
given to valuable horses for two or
three mornings in succession, fol-
lowed by cathartic.

To Voters OF 18th Judicial
District.

Stanford, KY, July rs, 1912.
We officials of Lincoln co lnty. attor-
news at law and citizens of Stanford,
KY, desire to make this statement to
the people of this county and of Mer-
Ger, Boyle. and Garrard county. rela-
tive to w. S. Burch, a candidate for
Commonwealth Attorney of this dis
trict.
Mr.. Burch has been member of this
bar for over fifteen years. For the
last seven years he has been our coun-
ty attorney Throughout that time we
have been brought into close contact
with him, and we feel that we are quail
flied to speak as to how he has borne
himself, both as a lawyer and as an
official.
AS county attorney, he has acted as
legal adviser to our fiscal court. In
that capacity, he has shown himself
thoroughly alive to the county's needs,
anxious to advance its interests, never
undertaking to make personal profits
out of his position, ever watchful on
behalf of the tax payers.
AS prosecutor. he has been earnest,
but not vindictive, determined, but not
oppressive, fearless, yet without the
fault of taking advantage of his office
to satisfy personal grievance. Time
and again he has shown signal courage
in performing the duties of his office.
He has been threatened with political
destruction if he persisted in prosecut-
ing certain defendants. Those threats
made him but the more determined to
see that even handed justice was dealt
out. In the course of his duties, called
upon to prosecute his friends, he has
done so with the same energy that he
uses in the case of a stranger. The
conduct of his Office has been marked
by official integrity.
Since admission to the bar, he has
practiced here. He is an attorney who
stands for square deal in his professional
relations. If all lawyers were like w.
S. Burch, that reproach to the profess
ion of law, the shyster, would be un-
known. If trickery be necessary to
win a case, then he will lose it; if GER
tain notorious arts and schemes must
be resorted to in order to obtain a eli
ent, he goes without client. A liti-
CANT may entrust his cause to him with
the confidence that he will strive to OBJ
tain for him that hearing which the law
sanctions and guarantees. More than
that he will not do. More than that no
honorable man would expect his attor-
ney to do.
Certain reports rejecting upon Mr..
Burch as an attorney and as an official,
as well as a citizen, are being circulat-
ed over the district. 1t has been stat
ed in such reports that he is gambler;
that he stays in negro dives; that he
has stolen indictments, and that he has

LIVE STOCK
TI5 NOTES

Lice will make the best hog poor.
Hogs eat the food from which other
animals will get no good.
Burlap over the stable windows
helps to keep out the flies.
Stock should not be allowed to
drink surface or pond water
A growing pig needs plenty of room,
but for fattening small quarters are
best.
Horses should be carefully worked,
especially when the weather is hot
and sultry.
The best time to cut the tails. as
well as castrate, Is when the lamb is
a week old.
Extra feed increases the growth of
proper kind, and makes larger ami
mails at maturity.
If case of lump jaw develops In
the herd this summer it should be at
tended to at once.
Skimp your sheep on good pasture
and they will skimp you on mutton
Works both ways.
1t often takes a number of genera
tions to thoroughly change the dispo
sition from timidity to quietude.
Middlings is very good feed for
swine, but it should not form the en-
tire grain portion Of their ration.
Sheep are comfort lovers, and the
man who neglects to provide them
with good, dry shelter makes a costly
error.
Good sheep require good care to
maintain their excellence. Poor sheep
are always burden upon the rest of
the flock.
Some people claim that. a hog Is
scavenger by nature, but he certainly
thrives better on clean feed and de-
cent surroundings.
Indigestion is the cause of more
than half the diseases of horses, and
largely caused by improper food and
working horses on a full stomach.

GARDEN and
EAPI1 NOTES

Potatoes after alfalfa are bound to
make fine crop.
The easiest way to kill a weed is
never to let It sprout.
Try this rotation: Alfalfa, potatoes,
grain. 1t is good one.
Hen house cleanings make the best
fertilizer for the onion patch.
Wide rows and a cultivator in the
garden means less hand work.
Rotation makes use of all the ele-
ments of plant food in the soil.
The best time to fight weeds is the
very first day they show their heads
above ground.
The surest way of getting rid of
moles Is to set one of the steel spring
traps over their runs.
Smaller and more frequent plant
ings of vegetables will lengthen out
the garden sass season.
A row of parsnips, carrots and sal
sify planted now will come into good
play next fall after frost.
Beg, borrow or buy all the wood
ashes you can to- use in the garden;
work it we'll into the soil.
If blossoms appear in the newly set
strawberry beds, pick them off; this
will make the plants stronger.
Cut the clover when a majority Of
the blossoms are turning, and the al
falfa when the new shoots start from
the crown.
Soil taken from a well-established
alfalfa field and spread on land to be
sown to alfalfa is very good way to
inoculate 1t.
Rotation of crops is one of the sim
pie, practical methods of increasing
the productivity Of the farm and dis
tributing labor.
The most profitable way of market
ing grain and fodder Is through stock

necessary to the soil.
