Houses Upon the Sand.

The driving rains of the last
three months will cost Kentucky
millions of dollars where badly
drained public roads are washed
and will have to be repaired.
The drainage is bad because
Kentucky has never had an
efficient road-making system.
The fundamental principles have
been overlooked, through igno-
rance or negligence. 1t will al
ways be so if the taxpayers re-
main persistently blind to their
own interests and allow the road
funds to be squandered every
year by a number of Magis-
trates.

APPLE CULTIVATION.

With conditions prevailing in the
northern states-and this holds espe-
cially Of the country north of latitude
AZ degrees-which result in growing
season that barely permits the proper
maturing of the new growth of apple
trees, it is we'll to cease cultivation
shortly after the middle Of July and
SOW a cover crop. This may be cow
peas in the more sOutherly portion
and vetch, buckwheat or oats in the
northerly portion. BY absorbing sur
plus moisture in the soil a condition
results that tends to check further
growth and hasten the maturity of
new wood, thus tending to lessen the
likelihood of winter killing. The COW
er crop thus produced should be left
on the ground as a catch for the snow
nd may be plOwed under next spring.

THE EGG LAYING CONTEST.

At the close Of the thirty fourth
week of the International egg laying
contest, which is being held at the
Storrs Agricultural college in Con-

place is held by an American pen Of
White Wyandottes with a score Of 678
eggs, while the fourth, fifth, sixth, sew
enth, eighth and ninth places are held
by as many pens Of White Leghorns.
The best laying pullet of the entire lot

A SOIL RENOVATOR,

The soy bean, the value of which as
a producer of forage and as a soil

SUMMER PRUNING.

If any readers of this department

now is the proper time to do summer
pruning-a process that will tend to
chN"i; wood growth and form fruit
buds Tor next season. In a general
way the type of pruning followed
should be akin to that used earlier in
the season. 1t should include the re-
mOval of cross limbs or others out of
place, the cutting back of limbs that
are too long and spindly and, If nee
essary, the thinning out of quite good

THE STRAWBERRY BED.

In territory east of the Rocky noun
tains in which the rainfall is thirty
inches per annum more the spring
is the best time in which to set out
strawberry bed, as the usually fire.
Quent rains make it possible for the
plants to get well established before
dry weather sets in. The plants may
be set in the fall. but seldom do as
well. However if tried, one should
aim to set vigorous plants, taking up
as much earth with the roots as POS
sible and having as little time as pos
sible elapse between taking up and
setting. If the conditions obtaining
during September and October are IL
vorable, the bed will get good start
and will bear considerable fruit next
season.

Chemists of the University of Penn

animal life artiicially. Female guinea
pigs were impregnated with a solution
containing so per cent of water, u per
cent of salts and per cent of an acid
akin to the malic acid found in certain
forms of vegetable life and in due
time gave birth to young. one of which
still survives. This may be interesting
from a scientific standpoint, but it
seems to be a pretty poor substitute
for the method provided by nature.

Ten Commandments For Sub.
ScriberS.

Thou should pay for thy paper
in advance if you would be on
good terms with your conscience
and the editor.
If you continue to take anoth-
er mans paper out of the post
office or from the carrier after
he has moved away, you are rob-
bling the editor, if you do not
pay for same.
Thou should look at the label
on your paper and not come into
the office a year or more after
the time has passed and dispute
its correctness with the publish
er. 1t is wrong for you to hold
the editor responsible for your
own neglect.
If the publisher sends your
paper after the date on your
label shows it has expired. it is
an evidence upon the part of the
publisher that he believes you
are honest and will pay the same.
Do not dissapoint him in his esti-
mate of your integrity.
If you are going 70 change
your postoffi &c, notify the
publisher from where you are
moving and to what postoffice
you want your paper changed.
If you owe for the paper at the
time you move, be square en-
ough to send a renewal sub
scprption when you send your
new postoffice address.
The editor confers a favor on
you if he gives you credit and he
also implies by the credit that he
believes in your honesty. You
should appreciate this favor by
paying for your paper at the very
first opportunity.
1t is just as bad not to pay for
your paper as it would be not to
pay your grocer bill. 1t costs
just as much money and labor to
produce a paper as it does to sell
groceries.
Remember you get for less
than two cents a copy of The
Climax which costs $50 to pro-
duce, not counting the capital
invested in the business and it
pays you better to take the paper
better than any investment of a
a similar amount. If you are
not a cheap screw, you will take
it yourself instead of borrowing
it from your neighbor.
Remember that The Climax
stands for you and your family
for your community, for your
country, for your best interests.
That it is devoted to home in
terests and home people and
that the best way you can show
your appreciation, is to pay for
it in advance.
That all delinquent subs crbers
who refuse to pay and ignore all
notices and bills are in danger
we'll you know it is a place
where no editors ever go even to
collect subscription accounts. =

secure from the rain. When it
is wrongly built it is like the
house that was built upon the
sand and did not endure. The |
rains surely come and the dam
age is inevitable.
A Fiscal Court will never be
efficient so long as it is made up
of Magistrates whose time could
not be given to their duties for
the legitimate emolument if they
were will equipped to discharge
their duties. The services of
men of superior equipment must
be commanded before We can
have the business of the county
attended to as we'll as the bus
mess of individuals is attended
to. The existing system is enor-
mously expensive. If the mill
ions of dollars that have been
spent for roads within the State
boundaries had been intelligently
and honestly spent from the be.
ginning, we should have now a
network of highways that would
be as lasting as the Roman roads
which have defied time and the
elements since the days of the
Apostle Paul. AS matters are
we have Indifferent roads, bad
roads, mud roads, or no roads
. where roads should be. We
have no model public roads in
the State, and no single exam
pie of the best results secured
through the least expenditure.
It is futile to rail against this
or that Magistrate who seems to
be incapable or dishonest, or
against the Fiscal Court as a
!, whole as constituted at any
given time, as it would be to
wade knee-deep into the surf
and try to shovel the breakers
back upon the encroaching sea
and form barrier against the
tides advance.
Intolerable extravaganza, plus
intolerable incompetency, result
ing in intolerable failure, must
be expected whilst taxpayers
continue to pay the piper and
allow contractors who get rich
quick; Magistrates who use road
funds as pawns intheir game of
little politics, and surveyors who
are court favorites rather than
capable engineers, to do the
dancing. Conditions may be a
little worse in one county than
in another, but the result will,
everywhere, be ten dollars out
lay for one dollars worth of
work and that done wrong
about nine times out of ten.
Between now and the coming,
in 1918, of the once-in-eight
years opportunity to abolish the
Fiscal Courts there should be a
good deal of missionary work
done throughout Kentucky. The
county papers should lend a
hand. The voters should be
awakened to the Importance of
taking an active and militant in
terest in a problem that is their
own. They should not be allow
ed to forget that public roads
are the most universally used of
all public utilities, and that their
condition and their cost are mat

PEOPLE Will HAVE
CHANCE TO ABOL.
ISH THE FISCAL
COURT.
Under State Law Jefferson C0un.
ty May Take a Vote in 1913.
WHAT THE ACT PROVIDES.

Al many Poi 10 VI AChIOShy oh
agitation has begun to abolish
the system of administering the
fiscal affairs of the counties
through the medium of a Fiscal
Court, made up Of the ma gistra-
ties and the county judge and
substitute therefor a board of
three county commissioners to
act with the county Judge and
discharge all the administrative
duties that now devolve upon the
Fiscal Court.
Although not as generally
known as it should be, no special
legislation is required to permit
the people of any county in Ken
lucky to take a vote upon the
question Of abolishing its Fiscal
Court. Section 1847 of the leg
islative act relative to Fiscal
courts in Kentucky provides
that, upon the petition of $50
citizens, the county judge shall
order a vote taken at the next
regular county election upon that
question. The only prohibition
is that if such an election is taken
and the change defeated.the pro.
position cannot come up again in
the same county for eight years.
ELECTIN HERE IN 1913.
In 1905 an election was held
in Louisville and Jefferson coun-
ty upon a petition to abolish the
Fiscal Court, and, although the
matter probably carried by an
honest vote, it was declared de-
feated in the big steal of 1905.
The matter can legally come up
next year, and already a move
ment has been started to have
such an election and abolish the
Jefferson County Fiscal Court.
In many Of the counties of the
State the desire to get rid of the
various Fiscal courts and put the
task of building roads and ad-
ministering county affairs in the
hands Of commissioners is
strong.
SUBSTANCE OF THE ACT.
In order that the residents of
all Kentucky counties may I'm
derstand their rights in this mat
ter, the Evening Post publishes
herewith the full text of Section
1847.
Commissioners May Constitute

Commonwealth of Kentucky so
