A Grain Of Salt, Please.

The Danville correspondent of
the Louisville Times is responsible
for this one: Herman Davis, of
near Danville, has succeeded in
producing a species of chicken
which have wool instead of feath-
ers upon their bodies. They are
sheared in the spring, after the
warm weather arrives, and the
wool brings a good price on the
local market. The covering of
wool is so much warmer than
feathers that the hens lay in the
coolest weather when the eggs
are high and scarce. Mr.. Davis
has more orders for fowls than
he can supply. Bath County

and more are the farmers realiz-

and more are the farmers realiz-
ing that in no other vocation
does system and method yield
such results. The best intellects
and the best training are requir-
ed in successful modern farming
The cropper is being pushed out
to make room for the farmer
who studies to conserve his soil
fertility and to increase his yield
at the same time. So much has
the fact that farming is a scien-
tific business calling that we are
educating our boys in colleges
and universities to be farmers.
The Boys Corn Clubs have been
of incalculable value to the edu-
cation of the farmer. They are
demonstrating the possibility OF
acre unit, and the farmers are
awakening to the possibilities OF
scientific culture of crops. The
farm is becoming the one certain
and safe vocation in life and this
paper is laboring to induce the
farmers of Morgan to adopt the
business idea of farming. viii
you, as farmers, aid us in this
effort for better farming by help
ing to place the COURIER in the
home of every farmer in the
county?

The inaugural address of Pres

tory of one of the real state pa
pers of the nation. Not only
does it show the erudition of the

breathes the split of the patriot

they elected Woodrow Wilson as

The Courier has heretofore
been of the opinion that Govern
or McCreary would not enter the
race for United States Senator.
1t is still of that opinion in a
modified form, The Governor
attended the Inauguration of
President Wilson and the Sena-
torial race in Kentucky seemed
to be a favorite topic of his
while in Washington. That the
Governor is anxious to again rep
resent Kentucky in the upper
house of Congress there is no
doubt. 1t is equally certain that
he will enter the Senatorial race
if he can be convinced that there
is a chance for him to win.
There are certain influences,
which are not to be disgarded,
constantly at work to get the old
war horse into the race. There
are certain politicians backing the
Governor whose influence cannot
be disregarded. The whiskey
people with all their allied in
fuences will fight former Gov
ernor Beckham to the bitter end.
The whisksy ring would back
Congressman Stanley if he had a
chance to defeat Beckham. But
believing that this is impossible
they will line up as a unit for
McCreary if he can be persuaded
to run. But when the Mil
lionaire's club and the whis-
key ring tackle the job of defeat
ing Beckham with McCreary or
any other man they have map
ped out for themselves the most
stupenduous undertaking a
coterie of politicians ever set
themselves to.
Mr.. Beckham ought to be given
this nomination without opposi-
ton as a tribute to his honesty,
an acknowledgement of his a.
bility and as a rebuke to the
traitors who deserted their colors
and voted for Bradley four years
ago.
But if the would-be-political-
bosses want a fight they can get
it. Yea verify, they have it al
ready, and if McCreary should
enter the race it will be interest
ing to watch developments. He
will make the fight of his life of
course, Ye Gods, what a futile
struggle it will be, and what a
pitiful spectacle it will be to see
the old veteran go down in Ger
whelming defeat.
Beckham will carry the state
25, 900 over any man in the Au-
gust primary.

The phenomenal growth of the
Courier subscription list in the
past few months proves that the
people appreciate the effort that
we are making to give them a
good paper. This growth is
coming without personal solicit
