Dynamitine the Soil.

At the recent County Farmers
Institute held here one of the
features was the discussion of
dynamiting the soil, and those
who believe in the practice say
that it will revolutionize farming
in this country. 1t has not been
tried in Hardin, but over in
Breckenridge they begun it few
weeks ago. The Breckenridge
News tells of the results as fol.
lows:
E. B. Barbee, of Stephensport,
says he is going to try lime on
three-fourths of an acre in alfal-
ia. He will put the ground in
thorough order like he was fixing
it for an onion bed. Then he
will drill in it 200 pounds of
slack lime and 125 pounds of fer
tilizer, and sow it in alfalfa.
He got this idea from the farm
train.
Mr.. Barbee has a small piece
OF land that was lined several
years ago. He sowed this in
wheat where the lime had been
used and received double the
amount of wheat that he got on
the land where no lime was used.
Mr.. Barbee says that lime keeps
sage brush from growing and he
considers it most valuable to
wheat land.
j. E. King and son, of Irving
ton, are using dynamite on their
young orchard of three acres.
The explosion of the dynamite
loosens up the soil for many
yards around. giving the tree
roots a better opportunity to
spread out than when the hole is
dug by hand.

1912 Electoral College.

Judging from statements pub
lished in several newspapers and
from the inquiries addressed to
others, there is a confusion in
the popular mind as to the num-
Der of presidential electors to be
chosen in November. Even dis
tlngulshed political authorities
have fallen into the error of
maintaining that the total num-
Der OF electoral votes will be 400.
which is the total of the combin-
ed membership of the present
Senate and House. In making
this error the new apportion-
ment of the House is overlooked.
The law provides that the
number of electors shall be equal
to the number of Senators and
Representatives to which the
several States are by law enti-
tied at the time when the Pres
ldent and Vice President to be
chosen come into office" The
Congress to be elected in Novem-
Der will have, 531, not 400, mem
bers, Senate and House. The
number OF electors to be chosen
in November must correspond,
and consequently the aggregate
electoral vote will be 531.

Kentucky'S fieaIth Growth.

The report of the Director of
Census shows that from 1849 to
1909 the total value of the manu-
features of the State increased
ten times, or from $21. 10, 900 in
1849, including the products of
neighborhood and had industries,
to 23.754,OOO in 1906, exclusive
of the neighborhood and hand
industries.
1900 Kentucky had 4,776
manufacturing establishments,
which gave employment to an
average of 70, O6O persons during
the year, and paid out $37, 491, :
600 in salaries and wages. Of
the persons employed 95, 400
were wage earners.
These establishments turned
out products to the values of
1920, 754, 900, in the manufacture
of which material costing SILL
$4,000 were untitled. The
value added by manufacturing
was 81 $4,000.

Which Is The Weaker Sex.

From the earliest recorded
time women have been spoken
of as the weaker sex, or frail,
delicate creatures. Eminent
writers have arrested that aside
from their natural constitutional
frailty women were invalids
one-ffth of the time. Yet the
dawn of the Twentieth Century
finds lis with abundant proof of
woman's physical superiority
over man when tested by length
of years, the power to endure
suffering and resist disease.
In 1890 the United States
census showed that there were
at that time 1881 centenarians
in the country, of whom 1858
were women and 1893 were
men. Out of eighty-nine GER
tenarians who died in England
during the year 1883, seventy
nine were women and ten were
men. while out of twenty-one
centenarians who died in Scot
land in 1892 sixteen We're wom-
en- and five were men.
The mystery of this tenacity
Of life-in woman still remains a
secret.
At birth boys are slightly
larger, both in height and weight;
and continue in the lead until IL
then the girls pass them both; in
height and weight for about two
years, when the boys again take
the lead and complete their
growth at about % or "a, while
girls complete their growth at 10
or 20 With this brief exception
male excel in height and weight
throughout life.

Navy Canal Control.

If the movement in navy cir.
cles shall have the approval OF
congress the control of the
Panama canal upon it's compile
ton will be vested in the navy.
AS the work was constructed for
the porpose of quick transport
of the ships of the country from
sea to sea and as the men of the
navy havesthe training and ex-
perience in handling the war
ships passing through canals and
In the massing and management
of them in times of warfare the
appeal Of the navy for the custo-
dy of the canal will receive
strong support.
The canal zone itself would re-
main under the management of
the army and this would include
the Notifications. It would
seem to be peculiarly appropriate
thus to bring both the army and
the navy administrations togeth-
er at the strategical point where
will be centered any war the
country may have in the future.
The value of the proposal to place
the army in effective control of
the canal is fraught with logic
and has much of practical argu-
ment in its favor. So that it
would not be surprising, should
President Taft place the matter
before congress, for that body
to see the the full point of the
plan and to give it prompt

Lady. -"

, There is something ludicrous
and irresistbly comic in the way
and manner in which word lady
has come to be used. Woman"
has almost disappeared, and to
call any one of the female sex a
woman is to insult her.
"Lady"is from an old Saxon
word which means a loaf Civ
err" or one who went about CIV
ing bread to the hungry. AS on
ly rich women were able to do
this. the term lady was gradual
ly applied to one rich enough to
give aims. Still later it was ap-
Piled to one ricn enough to. give

aims. Still later it was applied
to all females who were able tc
live without labor. 1t was q
mark of distinction. But when
it was broadened in its use and
applied to every female it lost all
of its significance. An adyer-
tlsement not long ago appeared
in a New York paper asking for
a position as saleswoman. It
was refreshing to read it, for
the want columns are of such
words as "forelady," "sales
lady. " ''washlady," etc.
In the old days a girl was not
ashamed to be called a saleswom-
an, a needle woman, and so on.
No one talks of a salesgentleman
or a foregentleman. No; man is
used for the male sex. Is not
woman as honorable a distinc-
ton as man? Let us get rid of
these snobbish and silly words,
and let any woman be proud of
the cognomen. There is some
thing old, but grand in the SIM
pie word "Woman"-Masonic
Voice-ReView.

Some Paper.

The Easter number of the New
I York Times, consisting of 200,
600 copies consumed $4,000
pounds of paper, at a cost of $40,
600 for paper alone, If this pa.
per were laid out in a strip the
width of the New York Times
seventeen inches) it would make
a line 9, I48 miles long; that line
would cover the distance from
New York to Berlin and back
again to New York, with enough
paper left over to stretch from
New York to Buffalo.
If the papers were laid out fiat,
as delivered by the newsdealers,
and placed one top of the other,
they would make a pile IL, 800
feet high, or $50 times as high
as the Metropolitan Tower in
New York.
To manufacture this paper
meant the cutting down of
square timber covering seventy
two acres, or 3,126, 800 square
feetof virgin forest land.

miles west Of that place.
Atlas Peck has violated the
confidence of several of his
warmest friends and after this it
will be a hard matter for him TO
get drink of Ticker that is any
account. He obtained a jug of
Bat Smiths Moonlight Reel the
other day under the pretense
that he was going to use it in
celebrating his annual birthday.

Direct primaries are the right
thing in principle. But direct
