HOG CHOLERA in KENTUCKY.

Hog cholera is very prevalent
throughout the State of Kentucky, es-
pecially in those counties most devoted
TO hog raising. Every farmer should
employ the best possible methods to
avoid the ravages of this disease. San
iiary measures are of the greatest inn
portance and often, If properly carried
out, are sufficient to avoid an out
break of hog cholera.
1t is true that the disease is most
prevalent in herds that are improperly
nourished, but hog cholera is a specif-
ic disese caused by specific micro
organism. Attention and care donot
of themselves insure protection against
the disease. Once present in the herd
it spreads to the healthy animals and
results in death of 10 to 100 per cent
of the individuals. The weakened hog
will more certainly die, and perfect
surroundings and management are to
be desired, but this does not confer a
positive immunity. All infectious dis
eases require specific anti toxin to
counterfeit the specific toxin; that is
anti-hog cholera serum is not efficient
in controlling lock jaw. Mere health
does not of itself insure the presence
or the development of specific anti
body for any infectious disease. 1t has
been observed in many herds under
perfect care, that, on exposure to spe-
cific infection, the animals sicken with
characteristic symptoms and on post
mortem reveal characteristic LESSONS of
hog cholera.

SHOULD RAISE THE STANDARD.
Voters Are Responsible For Poor
Trustees.

School trustees are to be elected In
Kentucky next month. The increasing
interest In school affairs gives hope
that in the selections that are made
such good Judgment will be used that
the standard of trusteeship may be ma
terially elevated.
Trustees are elected by the voters
both men and women voters-and IL a
district makes a poor choice the voters
have only themselves to blame. There
is no disputing the fact that there Is
much room for Improvement In the
personal of the trustees. Probably
those now serving. as q body, are an
Improvement on past selections, but
that does not obviate the need OF dis
eliminating action on the part OF
school patrons.
The time has passed when any dis
trict should be content to be represent
ed by trustee who is unqualified for
such service or who is Indifferent To
school progress. 1t used to be said
that many Of the trustees were Hitter
ate. Undoubtedly many of them were
Iuneducated and lacking in most Of the
essential qualities and qualifications OF

II the trustees who are elected In
August are capable men In the main y
will mean something for educational
progress. The people are demanding
better teachers and they have Il In
their power to get better teachers by
electing better trustees. To put the af-
fairs OF the school districts in compe-
tent hands is one OF the most pressing
duties of the voters OF the Common
wealth. II the districts will select live,

MINERAL RICHES OF KENTUCKY

Frankfort, KY, July S.-Two large
volumes of the first report of the State
Geological Survey under the act Of
1912, including the work of the depart
ment from the beginning, have just
been issued from the press.
In his foreword j. B. Hoeing, direc-
tor of the survey. gives a general out
line of the scope Of the report.
He says: "A report is given Of the
Goals of the Upper Licking River. 1t
shows valuable coal field accessible
to railroad transportation in coal veins
above drainage, as well as possibility
of finding a large area Of Elkhorn and
Van Lear Goals, which are there under
drainage and can be developed only by
the diamond drill.
what is one Of the valuable assets
OF Kentucky in the way of mineral re-
sources, and one which has not had the
publicity which II deserves, is well
treated in report by A. E. Crider on
the fire clay deposits of Northeastern
Kentucky in Carter, Boyd and Greenup
counties. These fire clays are present
in large quantities and are the source
of the material for very large output
OF refractory material of all kinds
IA report on the geology of the
Georgetown quadrangle is given. This
is in furtherance of the adoption of a
plan by which the topographic sheets
issued jointly by the Kentucky and
United States Geological Surveys are
to be used as basis for final detailed
geological work. This section contains
the phosphate deposits, as well as nu-
y
ing this report is report on Trenton
horizons and the chemistry of the
Trenton rocks.
"A report on the Goals Of the Tell
City and Owensboro quadrangles In
the Western coal field is also based on
two of the typographical sheets issued
as cooperative work. A. F. Order
finds a large area Of the Hawesville
coal as yet unworked, and also notes a
possible source of oil and gas"
As to Phosphate Deposits.
Referring to the phosphate deposits
of Central Kentucky. he says: 1T
should not be inferred that conditions
necessarily preclude the possibility of
finding deposits, other than those now
worked, or sufficient size to warrant
commercial exploitation. over large
areas in this section the horizon at
which these deposits are to be looked
for is covered by varying thickness of
soil, which not only may effectually
conceal all evidence of the presence of
phosphate, but owing to the value OF
the land itself and the consequent cost
of prospecting adds to the expense OF
uncovering the deposits"
He also calls attention in this con-
nection to the fact that there are
large quantities Of limestone available
in this section, which do carry some
phosphate and which could be very
cheaply quarried and ground, but will
never be available as phosphate alone
on account of the small percentage Of
phosphate as compared with the whole
mass. Ground limestone for use on
acid soil is being used in constantly
increasing quantities and the addition
of a small percentage of phosphate
should make it that much more valu-
able"

young men had been friends for years.
One of them found bee tree in the
woods and told his friend that in a few
days they would rob it. The tree was
cut down before the appointed time
and this led to the trouble. Varney was
