.:POULTRY SUGGESTIONS ::
:. FOR MARCH. ::


This is the month to produce fall
layers SO it bchooves us to be getting
things in readiness for the spring
work. Matching COPS should be
cleaned and painted so old liddy will
not have to be kept waiting. There
will soon be plenty Of chicks and time
is scarce at this time Of the year.
In the breeding pens should be
found oyster shells, grit, charcoal, and
green stuff.

lily confined in glass houses you will
find the eggs for this month will not
hatch well. Let them have some trcsl,
air and exercise to get them thorough
ly alive again.
Health hens lay eggs il they are not
abused. DO not neglect or try to keep
the birds too warm. The open front
house will enable you to treat the
BIRDS fair.
Table scraps are foundation for a
' wet mash occasionally. DO not feed
it a sloppy mash, but rather have it in
a crunpbly condition.
Keep the house free of draughts and
a good clean litter to scratch in.
If the rooster is old do not have too
many hens in the breeding pen if you
expect the eggs to hatch.
There is no need of a male bird if
you are keeping hens for Eggs alone.
Take good care Of the stock you

FLAX fiber EXPERIMENTS

Last year, however, We added to the
work OF the department q testing ma.
chine for testing the stretch and
strength Of fibers, and have accumu-
lated a large amount Of data, and arc
now in position to make careful tests
of the character Of the fiber that may
be produced by neans of any partic'
ular processes. We find that the
strength of the fiber varieties greatly
according to the method used in TAX
ing it out. We find, also, that it va
'ries, more or less, according to the
region in which the fiber is grown, but
that the variation in the size and
strength Of the fiber as found in the
various growth regions is not nearly
so great as one would suppose from
listening to the talks OF fiber experts.
The difference iE the value of such
straw apparently rests almost wholly
in the difficulties of taking out the
fiber. The figures appended below
indicate some OF the differences which
we mention, placed in contrast with
figures by other investigators and av-
erages from figures taken from an
average type Of Russion flbe flax:

Many people have asked why the
American people do not develop a flax
fiber industry or hemp fiber industry
in this country, and | have tried to as
certain why it is. l find no reason
other than that under the existing
duty conditions, or tariffs, our Amer
lean people cannot compete with the
European and Asiatic peoples. For
example, in 1910, l learned upon the
statement Of good authority that long
line flax fiber of rather high quality
of European make could be laid down
at Springfield, Mass, at an average
approximately five cents a pound, the
prices ranging from 9 IL to II cents.
II am also informed by good authority
in this state that it costs approximate.
|ly 6 cents a pound to make ordinary
tow at our tow mills, and that even
this could not be done If it were not
for the saving which comes from the
recovery of a considerable amount Of
seed from the poorly threshcd straw.
These statements perhaps make 1t rea.
sonably clear why VIC have not built
up a fiber industry.
I am also acquainted with the his.
tory of the l.cmp industry In Ken.

in the world, and the fertile lands OF
the Rel River Valley are very suitable
for it's production. l have therefore
carried out some experiments with
hemp and find North Dakota able to
produce the finest in the world. The
fiber which we have taken from it Is
of the very finest quality. The growth
IS excellent. However, under the pres.
ent cost of labor and machinery, we
could not produce hemp in competition
with the jute which comes from India
and elsewhere. unless we improve up
on present methods OF. getting out the
fiber.
Considering there features. those
who are interested in the development
of a fiber industry in this state or else
where in the northwest will not be
particularly pleased to know that un.
der a late ruling of the United States
General Appraisers, dated October Z,

are (if that decision lis finally confirm.

NEW APPARATUS
May Be Purchased BY the City for the
Fire Department.

With view of equipping the Paris
Fire Department with modern facili-
ties for fighting fires equal if not bet
ter than any in the State of Ken
lucky Mayor J. T. Hinton last night at
the regular meeting of the City Coun-
Gil advocated the purchase of an auto
mobile fire apparatus to replace that
now in use and it is probable that the
city will at an early date purchase an
entirely new outfit for use in the de-
partment.
Another matter of the utmost i'm
portance brought up by before the
Council by Mayor Hinton, was the ne
cessity of a new paving for Main
street, the present thoroughfare being
in such condition as to render it
unfit for travel.
Mayor Hinton stated to the Coun-
Gil, that after concidering the matter
very carefully he had reached the de-
cision that modern fire apparatus was
greatly needed in this city, inorder to
afford protection to outlying districts
which during the past few
years have grown to such a consid
cradle extent and that the department
should be in a position to reach the
outskirts as quickly as possible. The
present equipment drawn by horses,
that are hardly equal to the task of
going the distance from one end of the
city to the other, should be replaced
with an automobile, which would en-
able the firemen to reach the scene
of a fire in almost any part of the
city in less than one-half the time it
now requires. Mayor Hinton statef
that he had been in communica-
, cation with a number of fire autOmO-
bile manufacturers in regard to the
purchase of a machine for this pur-
pose and asked the consent of the
council to proceed with the investiga-
ton and make a report at the next
meeting of the body. The council was
unanimous in its consent and there is
a probability that at the next meet
ing the purchase of machine will be
ordered by the board. 1t is also I'M
derstood that in event of the pur-
hcase men in addition to those now
regular men in addition to those now
employed will be added to the depart
ment.
Regarding the reconstruction of
MAIN SII0cI, MdyOl ollu IhuO
he had received several letters from
the general manager Of the cOnstruc-
ton firm now engaged in building the
streets in Lexington urging the
city officials to come to Lexington at
an early date and inspect the street
that are being put down in that city.
The Council ordered that the Mayor
in connection with the Improvement
Committe of the Council make a
visit to Lexington for the purpose of
inspecting the paving and to make a
report to the Board at the next meet
| ing when the matter will be given full
consideration which will probably re-
! suit in immediate action.
Seven building permits were grant
ed and petition was presented from
the property holders on Tenth street
asking that the city take steps looking
toward the construction of concrete
sidewalks on the north side. Mayor
Hinton was ordered to investigate the
cost of the pavements.

Editorial Comment

tThe Outlook.)

(The Outlook.)
To change a mans manner of life
it is not always sufficient to charge
him with having played the knave.
1t is sometimes more effective to
prove to him that he has been acting
the fool-there is less opportunity for
sentimental self graduation about the
latter situation. Old-time temper
ance orators considered the liquor
problem one of individual depravity.
They were looking for sinners to con-
verify condemnation procedure.
The modern reformers, on the other
hand. are attacking this problem from
what may be called the social angle.
They are looking, not for drinkers to
convert, but for thinkers to convince.
The word health" is more frequently
on their lips than hell fire.
Typical of this new phase of the
temperance movement are the posters
reproduced upon this and the preced
ing page. These posters We're issued
by a committee of physicians and So
cial workers closely affiliated with the
Boston Associated Charities. They
represent an attempt to educate the
public as to the effects upon the COM
munity at large of what has been for
so long a time regarded as one of
the necessary evils of our civilization.
The idea of securing that publicity
necessary to all campaigns of edu-
cation by means Of posters is not
new. 1t has already been successfully
tried both in France and Germany.
The first city to be posted by the
Boston Committee was Cambridge,
Massachusetts. So acceptable We're
these posters to the business sense
of that community that in short
time the mayor of the city ordered
a large-size poster hung in every pub
lie building. At his suggestion. too,
the park commissioners placed post
ers on neat bulletin boards in every
public park and playground. Other
cities and towns in Massachusetts are
following the example ofaCambridge.
Store keepers have asked for posters
|sto display, and for small stickers
fsuch as we have reproduced at the
foot of this page) to- place upon their
bundles and packages. Perhaps. by
the way, the stickers in question,
since the fall of the Red Sox from
their. once high estate as World
Champions" may need to be revised
to interest effectively the juvenile
mind. In California. this fall. there
is to be started a Statewide cam
paign on the lines laid out by the
Boston Committee. In only one di-
rection, indeed. have the hopes OF the
Poster Committee been disappointed.
The Committee had meant to test out
thoroughly the poster idea in their
own vicinity before recommending IL
to other municipalities. Before the
first month of the experiment mao
been completed, however, unsohciteo
appeals for posters and information
began to drift in from all over the
United States and Canada. the Out
look commends this method of tenn
perance campaigning to it's readers
as one worthy of National acceptance
