HON. JOHN McDYER.

One of the real live subjects
at the next session of the Ken
lucky Legislature will be good
roads. There never was time be-
Ore when this al-important subject
wasNso much in the minds of the
people. They are going to demand
changes in the road laws that will
bring better results. One constitu-
tional amendment has already been
adopted and another Important one
is to be voted on at the November
election.
The people of the legislative dis
trict composed of Boyd and Law
renee counties are peculiarly FORUM
ate in having candidate for the
Legislature who is pre-eminently
qualified to be a leader in the
good roads movement. We refer to
Hon. John McDyer. The Democrats
of Lawrence county surrendered
their right to furnish candidate In
order to get Mr.. McDyer into the
race. He has a Statewide reputa-
ton in good roads circles as prac-
tical and successful builder of pub
lie highways. He is civil engin-
eer and has given mest-ef htsa-isA.
to road work. Boyd county has en-
joyed good roads for many years a.I,.
because of the energy and skill OF
Mr. McDyer. s5
A few years ago the Big Sandy

sentiment now existing was started

without any selfish motive. Having
many relatives and wide ac-
auaintance in Lawrence he felt a
deep interest in her welfare and
this interest still exists,
The election of John McDyer TO
the Legislature is a matter in which
politics should play no part. Every
body needs roads. The district and
the State need Mr.. McDyer at
this critical juncture. He doesn't
need the office, but has consented
to offer for 1t. He is high class
gentleman in every respect sober,
intelligent, Industrious and practi7
cal. Let every man who wants good
roads go to work to elect him,

In order to render natural ventila-

lef- open a little at the top and
at the bottom all the time. To pre-
vent a draft on the pupils from the
lower sash, two devices are pos
sible One is to insert in the win
dow frame two or three inches from
the front of the window and paral-
lei with it, board which will de-
fleet the current of air upward. The
other is to build screen to fit in
covered with linen or muslin. This
will allow slow, steady passage OF
air without appreciiable draft. In
any school, at least once, and pre-
ferably two or there times each half
day all the windows should be open
ed for few moments in order to
permit a thorough flushing out Of
hte vitiated air. The children will
not catch cold If they are allowed
to move about, or exercise: and the
fresh air can be more quickly warm

loss of few moments is more

IS THE KICK JUSTIFIED?

A reader Of these notes who Is a
level headed and progressive farmer
offers this criticism against the work
agricultural expert-namely. that his
efforts are far less valuable from the
standpoint of the average farmer be-
cause most Of the experiments he con-
ducts are on SO limited and intensive
scale that they cannot be carried out

IL this same expert were to take entire
charge of farm, assuming RESPONSE
bility for the planning of the work
and for the hundred and one details.
some Of them often vexatiOus and an
noying. and were to make a distinct
success Of 1t. an improvement over
what the owner is able to do. he
would then be in position to tell the
average farmer how to farm. The
same thought Is expressed by Kan
sas farmer in the following language:
II am in favor of progress and adj
vancement, but before we get into the
expert business too far I am In favor
of putting those experts on probation.
Give each one 100 acres of land, one
team. two cows. four sheep. provisions

tural endeavOr or in animal or poultry
husbandry is rarely due so much to
exceptional opportunity or especially
favorable environment or to unusual
ability on the part of the operator as
to the simple traits of persistence, ap-

the average citizen first to rub his eyes
and then hunt up an atlas. On the
right side of the map are the gulf of

the left are the Caribbean sea and the

from the pest in the coming weeks.
A spray that is said to be effective in
killing the grasshoppers is made by
mixing one pound Of arsenate Of lead
and two quarts of cheap molasses and
diluting in sixty gallons Of water. This
should be applied to vegetation along
roadsides and the edges of fields where
the grasshoppers may be abundant. A
dope which kills the grasshoppers
when they eat it is made by mixing
one pound Of paris green in forty
pounds of bran and adding enough wa
ter and molasses to make it a sticky
mass. This should be scattered in
small quantities at intervals of three
or four rods wherever the hoppers
are abundant. Another mixture equal
ly good Is made by substituting fresh
horse manure In place of bran on the
above recipe and adding salt.

THE CELERY BED.

The home garden can easily be made
to produce all the celery that the fam
lily needs. The writer has secured ex-
cellent results by digging a trench
three and a half feet wide and eight
or nine inches deep. spading up the
bottom Of this to a depth Of four or
Eve inches and working in three or
four wheelbarrow loads Of we'll rotted
manure. The plants. which should
have the roots and tops pruned back.
should be set in rows ten inches apart
and. about eight inches apart in the
row. The plants should be kept h0ed
and free from weeds and watered dur
ing dry weather. When planted in
trench in the manner suggested the
soil does not dry out so rapidly. while
the earth thrown from the trench may
be returned during the billing process.
1t is best to begin killing when the
plants are about ten inches high. de-
pending somewhat upon whether the
variety is dwarf or giant. and to give
a couple of applications Of earth after
the first. Plants put out early in July
should yield celery for the table the
latter part of October. while for the
winter supply they may be put out six
weeks later.
