Judging from the dispatches in
the dailies Judge Allie w. Young
is filling a long felt want" on
the bench at Jackson. His fear
less and vigorous acts have given
the good people of that crime
ridden community new hope. All
that is needed now to make
Breathitt a great, county is that
the work inaugurated by Judge
Young be followed up vigorous
ly. The lawless element will be
driven out when it is made cer-
tain the law is to be certainly and
impartially enforced. Let us
hope that the start that has been
made will be faithfully followed
up.

DESTRUCTIVE GRAPE PEST.
Grapes Leaoppe Show Sugar In
the Product

The grape leaf-hopper belongs to
the group Of insects that obtain their
food by sucking the juices OF plants.
They are seldom found on the upper
surfaces Of the leaves but they usually
seek the under sides and there DO
practically all their feeding.
While immature the insects are
called nymphs. The adults are more
conspicuous than the nymphs and are
especially noticeable at the time the
grapes are being harvested. They are
then very annoying. because they get
into the mouths, ears and noses Of
the pickers. At this time they fly
about. especially on warm, and calm
days during the latter part OF the
season, and drift to other vines or TO
grass fields, brush land and thickets.
In fact, they seek any place that will
shelter them during the winter.

It must not have divided tap root

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

Every hog grower should make a
great effort to have a few acres Of
alfalfa, because it furnishes unusually
valuable grazing for hogs and can be
pastured off several times during the
season.
There Is nothing more disgusting
than to have lot Of unruly hogs run
ming at large about the farm buildings.
With modern woven wire fence it is
easy to confine them within their
proper limits.
There is nothing gained by mixing
corn meal with chopped alfalfa ex-
cept to insure larger consumption.
The conformation Of the brood sow
is a controlling factor in her ability
to produce good pigs.
The longer any herd or family of
hogs Is subjected to a ration Of corn
or confined in small pens and barren
yards the lower will be their vitality
and proliflcacy.
