Ordered TO Work.

Gov. Hatfield, of West Vir-
ginia, mas done what no other
state executive ever did. He has
ordered 10000 striking coal min
ers to go to work. True, as me-
diator between the operators and
the miners he has succeeded in
adjusting all differences except
that relating to recognition of the
union, which he says is a matter
which the operators and miners
can settle themselves; and he re-
CARDS this Of so little Importance
compared to the interests Of the
state, which has now expended
approximately a million dollars
in maintaining order in the coal
regions, that he feels justified in
issuing the order that he has.
As chief executive of the state
he probably is justified in taking
the position he has, but it is a
question whether or not the op-
orators and miners will recognize
the Importance of the interest
which the governor represents.
IF they do not, it is barely posi-
bic that, as chief executive, the
governor may take another step
which will be even more drastic
state operation of the mines,
indicated by his threat to call
the legislature into extra session.
This would be revolutionary in
the extreme, and yet might also
be justified by the exigencies of
the situation in West Virginia.

hand were seen to contain seventy-five
or a hundred small trees the boys star
ed first at the bundles and then at the
well worked ground.
The splendid part of this work lies
in the fact that the high school is step
ping outside of the old, narrow, musty
limits of educational tradition and is
doing something Of very definite value
for the community. 1t will undoubted-
ly be of great benefit to the boys who
do the work, their fathers. their friends
and neighbors, in gaining a new view
point of what education will mean in
the coming years.
The development of Kentucky's re-
sources should be the first aim of every
citizen, and when the enormous prac.
teal value of this work is realized il
will give great impetus to every form
of agricultural endeavor.
If this work is pronounced success
this year it will naturally mean a wild
er use Of agriculture and horticulture
In our rural high schools over the
whole state. When this comes it will
also mean that each community will
be willing to put much larger sums of
money into its school than it has in
the past. Let us hope that many high
schools will follow this splendid start

The present year has seen a great

sections of the state have launched
extensive cooperative apple growing
associations. Both in Rowan and in
Hardin counties the work has been
helped and developed by our state de-
partment of agriculture. The depart

with four standard varieties of apple
trees free of charge and has also
agreed to advise and train the men,
bers of the association in the care and
general cultivation of the young trees
and orchards during the next five
years.
When the newly grated young trees
were received by the association in
Rowan county they were divided
among the members, to be placed in
home gardens for the summers
growth. In Hardin county it was de-
cided best to plant and cultivate the
$4,000 young trees in one nursery plot
While plans were being discussed as
to the best place and manner of car
Ing for this nursery work the agri-
cultural class of the county high school
offered to take the trees and carry
them through the summer until trans
planting time next autumn.
Just next to the high school at EliZ-

was broken and carefully prepared for
the tender young stock. The day the
planting took place was made some

especially as two experts from the
state agricultural station, a government
expert and a Louisville newspaper

Wisdom.

Some very serious mistakes
have been made in human affairs
by supposing that learning and
contact with books and schools
would confer that highest of all
human qualities-wisdom The
oretically speaking, a sound and
thorough education ought to
bring wisdom in it's training, but
it often fails.
A certain very successful ply
sician was once consulted by a
patient who asked this question:
doctor is it best for a man to
give up all he knows about his
own case and take the word
of a doctor for it?" The answer
was as follows and twas truly
wise and comprehensive one:
well, that depends upon how
much wisdom either the patient
or the doctor has. All patients
should understand their body
we'll, for they have had a good
deal of experience with it, but
they don't; they lack the power
of wise deduction. All doctors
should have the ability to dag
nose the disease correctly and
judge wisely what is the trouble,
but they don't. They may have
great learning, but they lack the
power Of wise judgment. Learn
ing helps, but wise judgment is
the supreme quality after all. 1t
is a born gift. 4"
We have often thought of this
doctors remark as applied to
the farmer. The knowledge and
mental training that comes
through books and schools is a
great help, but it is not wisdom
of judgment. Some men seem
to have this gift of wise judg-
ment even with very limited ed
ucation. Other men with abun-
dant schooling lack wisdom, the
power to judge best what to do
next. This individual equation,
the man behind the farm, is a
great thing. The power to
choose wisely has always been
esteemed one of the highest of
human gifts. Coupled with en-
ergy it is what makes the great
farmer, the great general, the
great statesman.

Black Rot.

The name of this disease itself
really tells the whole story. The
comb turns black and the tissues
seem to be dead and the diseased
parts will rot off or become sep
arated in time from the rest of
the comb and leaves a very un-
slightly stump as when the comb
has been frosted. Black rot is
found only in high combed
breeds, only rare cases of black
rock in birds that have low
combs. The cause of this troub-
lie is due from improper circula-
tion of blood through the comb
which causes the. tissues ito nnbe-
come dead. Most everysssscase of
black rot will be caused from
some kind of liver trouble. Ev-
cry time the liver gets out of Or
der the comb will show it and
tells the whole story.
In the early stages of ,s black
rot the comb will beijust "a little
dark, generally thelspoints be-
come pale or purplish, and in a
few days the whole comb will
become dark. Cases where the
bird is in a healthy condition and
with strong vitality the diseased
portion of the comb will sep
arate from the other and fall off
leaving the stump. The gcolor
changes from a purple to a blue
and then to black. The bird
will not have much appetite, and
will stand around in a stupid po-
sition and will have very little
energy.
Just as soon as you notice a
bird of your flock withssA a. dark
comb you should catch it at once
and place in a coop, and begin
immediate treatment, for in ad-
vanced stages of black rot treat
ment is of little value the:. and
nothing can be done. Feed plen-
, ty of Green food and do not give
stimulants; see thatssthe bird has
plenty of sunlight and fresh air.
Paint the comb three times a
day with the following lotion:
water one ounce, glycerinesthree-
fourths of an ounce, sand scarbol-
ic acid crystale one grain. Now
add one teaspoonful of muriate
of ammonia to each pint of the
drinking mater, this..sswill help
the liver perform the duties
more easily.
Phosphate of soda is also said
to be good; give the sick bird
one-half tablespoonful daily.
Now the treatment of blackrOt
will be of little value as | said
above, but the proper way to be-
gin treatment is to locate the
cause underlying the trouble and
try to prevent more cases from
appearing and deal with the old
cases the best way you can.
Mild cases can be cured if taken
in time, but advanced cases
treatment will not do much good.

The Horse and the Gumdrops.

winter on a street in one of the
large cities. Two large horses
were pulling a great wagon fill
ed with heavy mail bags, and as
they attempted to turn the cor
ner, one of them slipped on the
icy pavement and fell to the
ground.
The driver, who was in hur-
ry to deliver the mail at the sta
ton where the train was already
made up to carry it to the West,
tried in every way he could
think of to get the horse on his
feet again, but all efforts failed.
AS soon as the animal would get
to his knees and attempt to rise.
his broad, smooth shoes would
slip and down he would go again.
A crowd of people had collect
ed, some offered suggestions,
others simply stood and looked
on, never even trying to help
either the horse or his driver.
Then gentleman came Sacross
the street, to see what was the
trouble.
When he took in the. situation,
he walked a little way down the
street and purchased a cents
worth of gumdrops from a ven-
der, then came back and.unfold-
ing his morning paper, laid two
of the sweet balls upon it2within
easy reach of the horses head.
The horse smelled the candy,
and tapping one up, soonSShis
mouth was dropping with satis-
faction. He did not swallow it,
but rolled it about on his tongue
es if he was trying to make it
LAST as long as possible. Then
he took the second drop, and in a
minute or two made another at
tempt to rise, inst as though he
must do something to pay for
The treat. The gentleman and
the driver then spread a large
blanket on the pavement, and,
setting his feet on this, the ami
NAL was able to get up without
difficulty.
"An Eskimo will work an en-.
tire day for a single guEdrop, Z"
said the gentleman, as the horse
finally got on his feet, so why
should not a big, strong horse do
the same?" That question was
not answered by the laughing
crowd, but the driver o f the
wagon S id those gUmdrops
were worth their weight in
gold to him" 'I'Il always car
ry some candy in my pocket, +"
he shouted as he drove briskly
off to the waiting train.
All the beating in the world
would not have accomplished
what q little thought and the re-
ward of the sweets did in this
case. Animalr are all alike in
this respect, and so are most
girls and boys-if they are scold-
ed and driven they are very apt
to balk. Treat them W Il t h
thoughtful kindness and reward
them with a trifling gift, and
there is not much you cannot get
them to do for you. Remem-
Der this when you are dealing
with the little folks and with
dumb animals.
