Silver, Lead and Zinc Mining in
keutucky.

The United States Geological

ing of silver, lead and zinc min
ing in Kentucky says:
According to j. =. Dunlop, of
the United States Geological Sur.
vey, on galena concentrates were
shipped to the smelters from the
flOurspar mines in Kentucky in
1911, and in consequence no pro.
ductiOn of lead and silver was
reported. The production Of
zinc carbonate concentrates in
the State amounted to 467 tons,
valued at $10.6O4. The average
zinc assay was 40 per cent, and
the recoverable spelter content
of the concentrates was 15S tons.
AS only 30 tons of zinc concen-
trates were shipped in 1910, the
1911 shipments show a substan-
tial increase.

Pension Bill q Law.

The President has signed the
pension bill passed by the Sen.
ate and the House and it is now
a law. Enacted nearly a hall
century after the close of the

the Commissioner of pensions,
the bill will add S25, 797, 7O2 to
the annual Appropriation for
pensions, which last year was
1857, $50, 575. This makes the
total amount appropriated for
pensions fifty years after the war
was over $3.50, 900, 900. The bill as
finally adopted is better than the
Sherwood bill, which added $75,-

"cRANKY" KANSAS FARMERS
SAVE STATES GAME BIRDS.

That the so-called cranky" Kan
sas farmer who forbids hunting on
his lands has saved the game birds
of the state from annihilation is the
opinion Of Prof. Lewis L. Dyche CT
the University of Kansas, State
Game and Fish Warden.
The farmer who never allows
hunting on his place is the greatest
game protector the state has," de-
clares Professor Dyche. From such
protected centers, the birds spread
each spring to localities where few
or no birds have been left"
If each farmer in the state of
Kansas should allow legal quail hunt
ing for fifteen days each year on his
farm, in the course of three or four
years there would be few or no quail
in the state. 1t is an easy matter
for two or three good shots with the
best modern guns and well-trained
dogs to cripple every bird in flock,
and this is what usually happens
when the hunters follow up the birds.

MACHINE CAPTURES AND KILLS
POTATO BUGS.

A practical device for disposing Of
potato bugs without poison is now
being manufactured in large quaint
ties. In operation one wheel is on
each side of the row Of potatoes to
be picked. Two revolving plates, tip
ped with canvas, rapidly brush the
bugs from the vines over into the
apron near the right wheel. At the
bottom OF this apron the edge is turn.
ed up so as to form a gutter or
trough and thus prevents the bugs
from falling to the ground. In this
trough is small spiral conveyor
which carries them toward the rear,
where a pair of steel disks crush
them and drop them back on the
ground. Adjusting devices, which are
easily controlled by the driver from
his seat, are provided for different
heights Of vines.-Popular Mechanics.

turbing the minds Of poultry-raising
persons. 1t will be a hard blow to
the popular theory that white-feath-
cred chickens are more In demand
on the markets than any other breed.
Doubtless you have stood by that be-
lief all your life, and you may take
exception to the ruling of the court.
But white feathers don't count for
all, the poultry professor says. And
he has made, in packing centers, an
investigation upon which to base his
assertions. At to their marketable
merit, Prof. Lippincott ranks the
various breeds like this: Barred
Plymouth Rocks, White Wyandottes,
White Plymouth Rocks, Black Lang
shans, Leghorns, Brahmas, Cochins,
Scrubs.
Yellow shanks and yellow skin are
demanded above everything else, the
decision says. Further, the shanks
must be clean and free from feathers.
The body must be plump and of medi-
UNI size-four to seven pounds, for
roasting birds. The breeds that most
nearly meet these requirements are
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, and
Rhode Island Reds. The reason such
breeds as Buff Wyandottes and Rhode
Island Reds do not appear in the list
just given is because they have not
been bred in sufficient numbers to
make an impression on the market.
Packers are not acquainted with
them.
