KENTUCKY MINES
SKATER RECORDS
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORTS
BIG INCREASE IN THE BLUE
GRASS STATE.
THOUSANDS ARE EMPLOYED
Nearly 10000, 600 Tons Were Taken Out
in f913-Increase of More Than
5000, 900 Tons Last Year.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Louisville, Ky-The coal mined in
Kentucky in 1913 was 19,616,G00 short
tons, valued at s2O,516,749, according
to Edward W. Parker, of the United
States geological survey. Kentucky
is one of the II states that in 1913 es-
tablished new records in the quantity
and value of their coal production, and
in one respect-the percentage of in
crease-Kentucky outclassed all her
IL record-breaking sister states. The
increase in quantity mined amounted
to 3,126,079 short tons, or 10 per cent,
and the value increased $3,662,542, or
PIT per cent The nearest approach
to these rates of increase among the
other states whose production exceed
ed 100000 tons was in Virginia,
whose output Increased 12.5 per cent
in quantity and 10 per cent in value.
Nearly 80 per cent of the Increase in
Kentucky's production in 1913 was in
the eastern counties, Letcher county
leading, with an increase of over 800,-
900 tons, and Pike county standing a
tons. Harlan county was third in
quantity of increase, showing a gain
of 417,S75 tons, and Bell county fourth,
with an addition of 2S8,461 tons. The
| total increase in the eastern part of
the state was 2,481,767 tons, and the
western counties showed a total gain
| of 644,312 tons. Until 1912 the larger
| portion of the coal produced in Ken
| lucky was mined in the western coun.
| ties, but increases aggregating more
than 100000 tons in the eastern coun.
| ties during the last two years have
given supremacy to that portion of the
state. In 1913 the production of coal
| in the eastern counties exceeded that
in the western district by more than
100000 tons. The average value pei
ton advanced from $1.02 in 1912 tc
S1.05 in 1913
The number of men employed in the
coal mines in Kentucky increased
from 24,304 in 1912 to 26,332 in 1913
and the average working time from
POI to PIP days. The average produc
ton by each man employed was 74t
tons in 1913, against 679 tons in 191:
and $40 tons in 1911. The increase il
individual production was due in large
part, if not entirely, to the more ex
tended use of mining machines, Ken
lucky in the percentage of machine
mined tonnage to the total outpu
ranking next to Ohio, and being sec
ond among all the states.
Labor troubles in the coal mines O
Kentucky were Insignificant both il
1912 and 1913 Only 1929 mine work
ers were on strike in 1913, and tn,
average time lost by them was Is days
Notwithstanding the larger number o
men employed and of days worked il
1913 compared with 1912, fewer fatal
ties were reported to the bureau o
mines, the accidental deaths being re
duced from 81 in 1912 to 4S in 1913.

and even higher yields have been re-
ported. At Is tons per acre, one acre
will furnish enough roughage for two
cows for every day in the year, or
four cows during feeding period OF
six months. What other crop will do
that?
Other crops can be used, such as
sorghum or cowpeas, in combination
with either sorghum or corn. The
cowpeas improve the silage, for 1t
adds protein, but the yield is small
and difficult to harvest.
In selecting a variety of corn for
silage, always use one that will ma
ture It's grain. Other things being
equal, select variety that produces
large fodder, as the yield will be
greater.
Corn cal be planted somewhat
thicker than generally used in grow
| ing grain, but not thick enough to
prevent the good-ear development.
One dairyman, who has had good
success in growing corn for the silo,
and puts up about one thousand tons
year, says that he plants one-third
more seed for the silage corn than for
the corn grown for grain.
The amount, however, depends much
upon the variety, and the condition OF
the soil.
The size of the silo, of course, de-
ponds upon the number of cattle to be
fed 1t should never be less than 20
| feet high, because pressure is neces-
sary to preserve the silage. The high
er the better. A good rule is to have
it twice as high as the diameter.
OF course, a silo will cost some
thing-all farm buildings debut
there is no building that can be erect
ed on the farm that will pay better.
There are many kinds of silo, and
I made of different materials. Con-
crete, cement, brick, tile and several
kinds of " oden silo. The wood silo
is cheapest, of course. but it is not so
| durable as the concrete or tile.
The different styles range from
three to five dollars per ton capacity.

Teachers Hear Talks.

Suffrage addresses were made at
teachers institutes in 10 Kentucky
counties, ranging from Galloway coun-
ty on the Tennessee line in the south
western end of the state, to Lewis
county, on the Ohio river, in the north
east section. w. P. Smith, of Law
renceburg, who was the attorney in
the case taken up from Anderson coun-
ty to the court of appeals, which de-
cided the right of Kentucky women to
vote in all school elections, has joined
the force of suffrage organizers and
left for the "Pennyrile," where he will
spend some time in addressing teach
ers' institutes and organizing leagues.
Last year it was little difficult to
get permission for suffrage addresses
at the teachers institutes, for many
of the county superintendent were up
for reelection: and they feared that
woman suffrage would be considered
political" The teachers, however,
always welcomed those who came
preaching the new and interesting Cos
pei. This year the county superintend.
ents and instructors seem as eager for
the subject to be represented on tbs
programs as do the audiences.

Frankfort Not Affected.

Inquiries about the local effect of
the financial situation produced by the
impending war in Europe have kept
Frankfort bankers explaining more
points than were discussed in Coins
Financial school. All of them agree
that so far as their individual expert
ences are concerned, Frankfort is in
good condition. President G. Speer,
OF the Peoples State bank, is of the
opinion that interior cities will not
feel any Tightening effect, and the
others agree with him Eugene E.
Hoge, cashier of the State National
bank, said: Regarding the question
of what effect foreign war will have
with the financial situation in this
country, will state that the United
States treasurer is now making ar
engagements to assist the financial cen
tiers to an extent that there will be
no scarcity of money in taking care of
the business interests of the United
States, and We have no fear of any
panic, There Is no ,uneasiness in the
financial situation, locally, and Frank.
fort and Franklin county have never
been affected materially by any panic
The banks of Frankfort did not have
to resort to clearing house certificates
in the panic of 1907, and depositors
had no trouble in securing all the
money they wanted for their legiti
mate needs"

PROHIBITION QUESTION
@Wets' Argue Against an Election If
City Of Lexington.

Lexington, Ky-The motion of the
@wets' for a prohibition election in
the city of Lexington exclusively on
September %, the same day on which
the "drys" have petitioned for prohi-
bition election for the entire county,
including the city, was argued before
County Judge Frank A. Bullock. Judge
Bullock at the conclusion of the argu-
ments directed counsel to submit their
authorities and took the matter under
advisement. The argument of the
"wets" was that the city was unit
within itself and it should be permitted
to determine whether or not it should
allow the sale of intoxicating liquors.
The "drys," on the other hand, insist
that the county is unit, and that an
election in the entire county, including
the city, should likewise bind the city

II dairy farmer were told that he
could roll silver dollars down a hill
and then pick up two dollars for ev-
cry one he rolled down, and this state
ment were verified by some of his
aeighbors and hundreds of other dairy
farmers in the country, that farmer
would stay up nights to roll the
dollars. But when told that he could
double the profits by the use of the
silo he becomes very Indifferent and
dry feed, wasting nearly half of his
corn crop and doing lot of unneces-
sary work
In these days of close competition,
dairymen should be ready to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity to re-
duce the cost of production, and it
will be found that it is easier, If the
proper methods are used, to do that
than to raise the selling price of the
dairy products. The results are the
same, large net profit.
In the corn plant about 40 per cent
OF the feeding value is in the stalk,
and so per cent In the ear. When
the ear alone is fed, nearly half of
| the corn crop is wasted.
When the stalks are fed, at least
| half of them remain uneaten, while if
stored in the silo the loss is almost
nothing.
Every dairyman knows that COWS
will do their best on fresh June pas
ture. The grass is succulent and pal
atable, and the conditions for a maxi
mum milk flow are ideal These con.
ditions, however, do not last very long
The silo comes as near to supplying
the ideal conditions as anything that
can be found, and it is available every
day In the year. It provides a uni
form feed for every one of the Il
! months.
Highly sensitive dairy cows resent
any sudden or violent change in feed
and will show it by decreased mill
flow. The change from fall pasture
to dry feed is always followed by q
shrinkage in the milk.
In changing from the pasture to the

pacity.
When one considers that the crop
can be grown and put in the silo at
cost that should not exceed two dollars
per ton. and that it Is worth at least
twice that much for feed. and the
large part Of that feed is practically
lost without the use of the silo, the
value Of this method of preserving the
forage crop is very apparent
A feed cutter with blower or ele.
vator is necessary for filling the silo.
A good cutter, with capacity of forty
to fifty tons a day will cost about
one hundred and thirty-five dollars.
The power to run It may be gas
or a steam engine. This can usually
be hired for few days during the
filling process. Or, where several
dairymen on adjoining farms have
silos, it is economy to own the cutter
and power In partnership.

65 per cent of the tobacco grown in

This is heavy tobacco, for which
there is very small demand in this

made to have them turned back for
fear that they will be confscated or

is being revived by the state tax
league which purposes to bring it home
to the taxpayers with such force and
energy that the necessary constitu-

Carl Pheln, of California, a we'll
known expert on taxation, led to the
Inevitable conclusions that attempts
TO tax all classes of property alike,
whether in Kentucky or other states,
has been failure and has succeeded
only in driving personal property out
of the state or causing it to be con-
cealed from the assessors and adding
to the taxes on tangible property and
causing the latter to be assessed at
less than its value. This affects the
