1t is hard to fatten stunted
chicken.
Boys and girls should be encouraged
to raise poultry.
Wet feet are just as bad for hens
as they are for folks.
The hen that lays $50 eggs in a
year is doing mighty good laying.
For the city market there Is moth
ing between the broiler and roaster.
Every week there should be a fresh
supply of clean, fine earth In the dust
box.
No wonder some mems hens never
weigh anything, The lice have just
about carried them away.
Nobody wants to buy dirty egg,
and the only way to keep the eggs
clean is to keep the nests clean.
Middlings and cornmeal wet with
skim milk make fine forcing feed
for culls that are to be marketed
Spraying a chicken house with 1
to 20 solution Of lime-sulphur will
effectually destroy all nits and lice.
An unruly or greedy rooster has
no place in chicken yard; the
dinner table is the safest roost for
him.
Well managed poultry is preferable
to farm corps in that poultry will pro
duce an income at all times OF the
year.
There is no such thing as egg lay
ing type. There Is but one true test
Of the layer, and that is by the aid
Of the trap nest.

FROM TEXAS.

It's time to report again to the

this season. The first damaged small
grain and corn and the second cot
ton and everything else. But the
drouth was broken and we've had
about two wet weeks, throwing corn
gathering and cotton picking later
than usual. However, the rain seems
over at present and the cotton open
ing out nicely. / gathered a little
over five hundred bushels corn off
of about fourteen acres
There is a very perceptable change
of season here this the 18th of
October. No frost yet and but lit
tie change of the leaves of the
forests. Wheat drilled before the
rain is up nicely.
We expect to have cold fingers
before the cotton is all gathered
this fall. I've now about months
and a half TO gather my cotton and
move, as renters give and take
possession by the first of Jan.

POULTRY
FATS
ROOSTER LOWERS EGG YIELD
Interesting Tests Made at New York
Experiment Station on Presence
Of Males In Flock.

The belief used to be general many
years ago that hens would not lay
without the presence of male bird
in the flock. And even today there
are a few people that contend the
male stimulates egg production to a
greater or less extent Men who
have raised poultry for years still
cling to this notion and persist In
keeping a lot of males hanging about
where only eggs are wanted.
The New York Experimental sta
ton made up four pens OF pullets.
two consisting of pure-bred stock and
two Of mixed stock, With one pen of
each class cockerels were kept, while
with the others none were allowed.
The cockerels were put with the two
pens two months before any began
laying, Some pullets in each OF the
two pens in which no cockerels were
put began laying month before any
In the two containing cockerels. The
fowls were Of the Asiatic breeds and
rather persistent sitters, No attempt
was made to discourage any OF the
hens from sitting and there seemed
to be no difference In the relative
number of sitters in the contrasted
pens. OF the cross-bred pullets the
lot without males laid better through
out the season and also during the
best egg season or the other lot
the one without males began laying
earlier and did better than the one
with males during the first part OF
the season. but 1t fell slightly behind
for the latter months, though during
that period they kept even with the
lot which was accompanied by males.
1t was thought that the vice of feath.
er eating which broke out in this pen
had much to do with the falling on
in egg production.
From these experiments 1t would
seem that the presence of males has
a detrimental influence upon the egg
yield This is also the theory adj
vanced by many In recent years, and
1t is now pretty generally accepted
by prominent egg farmers.

KENTUCKY NEIGHBORS.


Saturday night, Mrs. Elkanah Ha-
VEINS, OF Pills branch of Grassy, was
accidentally burned to death at the
home OF her brother, Jack Barnett,
on White Oak, whom she was visit
ing. Granville Mays, our informant,
says that 1t was thought she had
got up to smoke in the night and
that in trying to light her pipe she
fell in the fire. 1t is probable that
she was stricken with apoplexy as
she made no cutlery, at least the
family heard none. The latter theory
is tangible from the statement of
another that her father died under
a fit of apoplexy. Hazel Green

Millions of men and women to-

White China Geese.

81 to 6 pounds. Ducklings should be
marketed from nine to twelve weeks
of age. After that they take on weight
slowly. and it is not profitable to keep
them longer than twelve weeks.
Geese grow about as rapidly as
ducks. Allowance of course must be
made for the original difference in
size--newly Matched goslings weigh
ing about four ounces Turkeys do
not grow rapidly at the start, but de-
velop much quicker after three months
of age.

AT the present time we have 70
students enrolled in the College of
Agriculture, as against 81 a year
ago this time. We have 80 new men
as against half that number last
fall We feel that this is very
satisfactory increase from a total of
20 students in agriculture in the fall
of 1910. Although the enrolment is
still relatively small, it is a very
satisfactory increase, and there is
no question but that a similar In
crease will occur in future years.
The college is now fairly well Or
ganized as far as its faculty is con-
cerned, and many of the depart
ments are well equipped. During
the past summer a new horse barn
and steer shed have been built,
and the dairy barn has been practi-
cally rebuilt, giving facilities for
better work in livestock, and con-
siderable amount of livestock has
been purchased Our men are chief
ly interested in horticulture and
animal husbandry. We have several
men who are putting themselves
through college, but we are unable
to furnish steady employment to as
many as we should like to. The
college is very badly hampered for
lack of suitable classrooms and lab
oratories, but more hampered by
the lack of an adequate farm. / am
sending you by this mail copy of
the last report of the State Board
of Regents, which discusses this mat
ter quite fully on page % and again
on pages Sc and 60. The college has
now gotten to the point where 1t
must either have more land and
suitable buildings or we shall not
be<able to develop much further.
The few graduates which we have
had are making good, and are prac-
tically all in agricultural work.

Title to valuable coal property
leased to the Majestic Golfers on
Poplar creek branch of Tug river,
in the Big Sandy Valley, was Quilted
in suit decided by the Court OF
Appeals, affirming the Pike Circuit
Court. In 1869 Michael and Matil-
da Mounts divided a large amount
of property among their children,
and gave or sold the property in
question to Jackson mounts, their
son, He got in trouble with a man
named Murphy in 1877 and decided
the property to his mother to avoid
execution in a damage suit She
later, joined by her husband, exc
cuted deeds for the property TO
Jackson Mounts, but he had his
mother execute another deed alone
and recorded that one. The deed
signed by both his parents was de-
stroyed when his home burned a
few years later.
After the development of the
Eastern Kentucky coal field he
leased the property to the collieries
company, which built a railroad to
it. Discovering that there was a
cloud on the title by reason of the
failure of his father to sign the
deed, he set about to secure quit
claim deeds from all the heirs. All
signed but one, and then all joined
in a suit to set aside their quit
claim deeds and for partition of the
property. Jackson Mounts claimed
title by reason OF conveyances and
also by reason of adverse posses
sion, and the petition of the heirs
of Michael Mounts was dismissed

by Gov. McCreary, after having
served one year and one day of
his sentence.
Mr.. Coburn is a married man and
has several children. He has always
borne a good reputation and no
doubt he has repented over and
over again for his rash deed, done
in the heat of passion. Mr.. Allen,
who was so seriously injured. that
he fingered for weeks between life
and death, was one of the first to
sign the petition asking the COVER

Jackson, KY, Oct. 17.-An en-
tire issue of 5000 copies of the
Jackson Times was taken from the
press room of the paper and thrown
into the Kentucky river heer Thurs
day morning by unidentified persons
The papers were printed only on one
side. The plant of the paper was not
damaged.
The papers contained some warm
political matter in behalf OF the
Democratic party, and drastic ar
ticle, marked advertisement, and
signed by T. P. Cardwell, Republi-
can candidate for County Judge.
Mr.. Barnett, the business manager
of the Times, said the article by Mr.,
Cordwell was taken as regular adj
vertising reader and was paid for
in advance.
Republicans are contending that
Democrats administered the baptis-
NAL ordinances to avoid the send
ing out of the Cardwell article and
to perpetrate a report upon the Re
publicans that they had tried to
prevent the circulation OF the pa
per, which is Democratic and is
a hard fight for the cleo
ton of the Democratic ticket, while
the Democrats are charging the Re-
publicans with destroying the pa
pers to prevent the circulation of
the Democratic articles.
