Louisiana's Salt Supremacy.

by reason of it's possess
sing inside its borders salt not
only sufficient to season the food
and operate the cold storage and
ice making plants for years to
come, but also a supply practic-
ally 100 per cent pure, is referred
to in hattering terms in an ar
ticle appearing in the New York
Mercantile and Financial Times.
Special reference is made in the
article to the commanding posit-
ion secured for Louisiana salt
through the efforts Of the Myles
Salt Company, Limited, OF New
Orleans, the owners and develop
ers of the extensive rock salt
mines at Weeks Island, La, 100
miles west. of New Orleans, and
with the mines at Ayery's Island
the two great salt producing
centers Of the state.
Since 1897, when the wonder
full deposit was found at the
former place by Gen. +. +. Miles
the Weeks Island mine has been
the scene of notable development
Of the mine, its richness and the
methods Of mining, the Mercan-
tile and Financial Times says:
Scientists of the highest re-
pute have conservatively esti-
mated that the Myles Salt Mine,
the-only one on the island, con-
tains no less than six billion tons
of salt. There is no knowing
how far these deposits run in
depth; they have only been
worked for $50 feet, and it is
probable that the great salt beds
go down as many thousand feet,
there being no indications of a
limit being reached yet. A shaft
leads down to the workings
where the floors are of solid salt,
the yaulted roof of the great
cavern being supported by arch
ed columns Of the same material.
There is no scaffolding Of any
kind such as is necessary in coal
or other mines, nothing but salt
in crystal form, and almost as
hard as granite, with a resisting
power Of 5000 to the cubic inch.
Tunnels are driven by eleven
foot drills and blasted oItNWith
dynamite. This loosens the salt,
which is then loaded on mule
trains and deposited at the foot
of the shaft. Here the huge
masses are crushed to various de.
grees Of fneness by large electric
crushing machines and separated
into the various commercial
grades and fi.ally carried by
rgravity or automatically fed into
sacks. And in this mine We FIND
nothing but salt; salt that is $685.

The Myles Salt Company,

Rape a Good Feed.

Kentucky farmers should change
their methods in the feeding of
hogs, and it has been found that
rape will prove almost as bene6ci-
al in producing fat as corn or
clover. Hog men, who have made
success in the business, use rape
as feed as well as clover, and
claim that the result in gain is as
good from rape as from the clover.
The rape can be sown as late as
July Is, and clay soil is we'll
adapted for the growth of the
rape. 1t should be sown with a
drill, about 3 pounds per acre be-
ing used. AS soon as the plants
come up, cultivate them with a
cultivator, but do not cover them
up. The plants should be cult
waited after every rain, and with
the proper season the rape should
be ready for pasturing in six
weeks. Hog men claim that when
it is grazed some roughage or corn
should be fed, as the hogs will not
do as well on the rape alone. Rape
has no superior as a pasture for
hogs and when the swine is put on
clover and rape in adjoining fields,
and both lunches of hogs are fed
some corn or roughage, experience
has taught that the rape-fed hogs
will do as well, if not better, than
those pastured on clover. 1t is
said that rape is much easier to
grow and less expensive than
clover. The same old methods OF
pasturage must be changed and
we believe that it will be to the in.
terest of the hog men to make q
trial of the rape problem.

The first train of its kind ever run
in this or any other Countrywide Red
path Chautauqua Special de luxe from
Chicago to Dixie Land, recently reached
its destination at Albany, Ga, after be-
ing greeted by thousands of people in
the many towns and cities enroute. In
fact, the demonstration everywhere was
little less then remarkable and illus
trates how firmly the foundations of
our great American forum-the Chau-
tauqua, is embedded in the hearts of the
people of the South and Middlewest.
Covered with banners and laden
with talent, the Redpath Chautauqua
Special left the LaSalle Street Station,
Chicago, over the c. & E. l. at 10 A. M.
on Tuesday, May 20, amid the waving

had come down to see the train leave.
There were five cars, including a

uOsACCo DEPARTMENT.

Reports from Southwestern
Kentucky show that depredations
continue in the tobacco belt, and
beds are scraped almost every
night in some county. Large re-
wards have been offered for the
capture of the guilty parties, but
no arrests have been made. To-
bacco growers in that section are
receiving notices not to grow any
tobacco, and in most instances the
notes are accompanied by bunch
of switches. How long, oh, Lord,
will these things continue in Ken
tuckyl
Options have been taken on a
lot in this city by parties desiring
to build another Loose Leaf Ware
house and it is probable that a
company will be organized and in
corporated within the next ten
days to build and equip the ware
house. There is no question but
what this market needs two ware
houses, as one cannot handle the
business that a good market here
can secure. The promoters back
of the new company, in the event
that they succeeded in organizing,
will build warehouse to handle
about 100000 pounds daily and
plans are already under way with
this object in view. The lot on
which the option has been secured
is close down in the city and we'll
located and is very desirable for
the business. We sincerely trust
that the men back of the move
ment will succeed, and believe
that if they do so, Mt. Sterling
will have tobacco market in 1918
second to none in the State.
Some of our tobacco growers
will use fertilizer this year in the
tobacco crops after the plants start
to growing nicely, and from ex-
periences in other sections we have
no doubt that it will pay the grow
er handsomely to do so. The fer
tilizer is not so expensive but that
all growers can use it, and we are
confident that if used at the right
time, when the plants need the
plant food to aid it in growing and
extending its leaves, that the differ
ence in what the crop will bring
or what the field will produce will
add considerable to your bank ac-
count. This is the day of the ma
nure and fertilizer use aid you
may Just as we'll begin and reap
the benefits. The old way will not
do. The age is advancing and the
methods used in agriculture are
advancing. You tobacco m n
must use the up-to-date methods,
or get out of the way of the pro-
cession of progress and let some
one else take hold.-Blue Grass

States and of the entire beef-eating
world, according to the annual re-
port of the Union Stock Yards of
Chicago. In England, Germany,
France and other European coun-
tries meat is scarce and dear, and
beef has become luxury. The
worlds supply is not keeping pace
with the population.
Australasia, South America and
the United States produce the
worlds great live stock surplus.
Australia is just recovering from
a severe drouth and will contribute
but moderately for several years.
Drouth, foot and mouth disease,
and the slaughter of too many
cows has reduced the cattle supply
in Argentina TO the point that They
are now endeavoring to prevent
by law the slaughtering of female
cattle under seven years old. 1t
will take from Z to 10 years for
Argentina to recover. All her
surplus is ing..taken by England,
Portugal, Spain, Italy and other
foreign countries. Young cattle
bring high prices, and record fig
ures are being paid for breeding
stock.
NO BEEF FROM SOUTH AMERICA
Brazil is only beginning, and
will have no beef to export for a
dozen years or more. Canada has
none too many cattle and cannot
produce largely. In Mexico the
cattle industry has been so de-
moralized by the series of revolu-
ton that it will take at least ten
years to recover. Only the cheap
est grades of cattle are produced
there at best.
In the United States, the supply
of beef cattle has declined 20 per
cent. and the Strengthening of
calves increased by 900 per cent.
since 1900, while the population
has increased over 2G per cent.
Drouth and the cutting up of the
ranges has caused close marketing
of western stock. The big outfits
are gone and the small centers are
not yet raising cattle.
Corn belt farms have not yet
begun to supply the deficiency.
The United States is face to face
with the greatest scarcity of feed
err stock ever known, and nothing
but a continued shortage can be
expected for the next several sea-
sons.
BREEDING COWS ARE SCARCE
There are not enough breeding
cows left in the country to keep
up the supply of beef steers. 1t
will take at least four years to
produce enough cows of suitable
breeding age to add to our present
supply before we are ready to be-
gin breeding for an adequate supply
of beef steers. In the meantime,
some of the stock now on hand
will wear out. die or be slaughter
ed. To prepare and raise the
beef steer for market will require
at least two years more.
Under the most favorable. cir
cumstances, therefore, about seven
years will be required to restore
adequate production of cattle in
the United States. Meanwhile,
there is no great world supply
! upon which to draw to make good
the deficiency. Producers of beef
cattle. therefore, seem to have a
bright outlook before them.

LITTLE KNOWN OF NEGRITos
Scientist, However, Believes They Are
the Original Natives of the
Philippines.

Dr.. Philip Newton, lecturer and In
vestigator of the National Museum in
Washington, D. c., who has just re-
turned from the Philippines. believes
that the diminutive negroes called
the Negritos, who are found in the
mountains Of all the larger islands Of
the Philippine group. are the original
natives Of the Philippines.
They have been gradually driven
into the mountains by superior
forces" said Doctor Newton, "and
today 1 presume there are not more
than $4,000 of them in the islands.
They r the perfect type of savage.
They have no houses, wear no cloth

Lower Animals That Count.

There are human beings, such as in
habitants Of the Murray islands in the
Straits OF Torres, that cannot count
further than two. But, most surpris-
ing still, most animals possess calcu-
lating abilities, and several have a dis
tinct appreciation of number. In GER

Education.

Accustom q child as soon as It can
speak to narrate his little expert
ences, his chapter Of accidents; his
griefs, his fears, his hopes; to COM
municate what he has noticed in the
world without, and what he feels
struggling in the world within.
Anxious to have something to nar
rate, he will be induced to give atten-
ton to objects around him, and what
Is passing in the sphere Of his instruc-
ton, and to observe and note events
will become one of his first pleasures;
and this is the groundwork OF a
thoughtful character.
