Cost of MonureI Hen.

Why do some farmers endorse the
mongrel hen? Simply because she is
cheap. Nature has no regard for
money values, one way or another II
mongrel blood were higher in price
than pure blood no one would harbor
mongrel hens. When once obtained,
the cost is no more to maintain pure
blood than mongrel blood, and the re-

Going in for catalpa grove? That
Is a good plan. 1t will grow into tele-
phone poles and fence posts in about
fifteen years. An acre of ground Will
produce three to four thousand fence
posts, and such posts are now worth
about eighteen cents each. Fifteen
years later they will probably bring
twice as much, as timber is becoming
very scarce every year in every state
in the Union.
One.year-old trees are the best to
plant. Be sure they are all healthy
and come not too far from home.

LAST FOURTH OF JULY

Last Fourth of July I was only six,
A reg'lar little chump,
l got into a dreadful fix
You see there was stump
In our back yard, where l used to play
All sorts of things alone;
On Sundays twas pulpit,
On week days twas a throne.
l was preacher Sundays,
And the pickets on the fence
Were the people that preached to,
But didn't preach no sense.
On other days was king
The pickets were my people.

All pointed like steeple.
Well, Fourth of July my cousin Bob
Came from the great big town, D
With crackers, punk and fireworks
To do the Fourth up brown.
told him how l was king,
He Is bigger some than me,
And he said we would have siege,
The stump would be my fort,
And he would try to blow 1t up,
He said twas lots of sport
SO got up upon the stump,
And the crackers in a row
He piled up thick around the foot,
You should have heard 1t blow!
The stump caught fire, lost my head,
My father carried me to bed.
/ stayed in bed long, long time,
All bandaged-'twasn't fun.
I'm big this year-you needn't smile,
I'm not so big chump,
And If we have another siege =
Bob can sit on the stump.

On the Fourth of July all the delegates except
those of New York (whose representatives signed

fortunes and their sacred honor in the cause Of
liberty. Then came the moment for the Song Of
the Bella song whose reverberatons shall not
cease till the last page of American history has
been written.
Truly prophetic was the biblical motto which
Isaac Norris is said to have chosen for the bell:
Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all
the inhabitants thereof" And rapturously did
the assembled multitude and the distant patriots
receive the announcement of the bell that at
last the 1S colonies had become the 1S United

BETTER ROAD BUILDING.

1t is encouraging to those who
want to see better roads in Ken
lucky to note that the number Of
applicants taking the examination
at Frankfort for the position of
county road engineer is larger
than ever before.
Fifty of those who underwent
the examination, it is stated, had
previously taken a course in
scientific road building at the
State University. There are in
dications of a growing interest
all over the State in the construc-
ton of better roads. Good en-
cheering is now generally re-
cognized as essential to good
road building.
Many of the roads in Ken
lucky are poorly located. Much
of the work that is done in the
way of road repair is not efficient.
The engineer who gives good
service to his county will more
than earn his salary, and the
county will save money by en-
ploying him. With the services
of an engin eer available at all
times, the highways can receive
systematic attention, and that,
above all things, is what they
need. In the opening of new
roads and the repairing and reIo-
cation of old ones it is important
that the county should have the
advice and cooperation of a COM
petent engineer.
The counties also should avail
themselves the assistance which
can be freely had from the State
Good Roads Department at
Frankfort. In cases where ex-
tensive Improvements are to be
made, bridges built, contracts to
be let, or problems of various
kinds to be solved, the depart
ment should be consulted and its
aid invoked. Increase in know
ledge of road construction should
bring better roads and should
cause less money to be wasted in
future or inefficient work.-Cour-
ier Journal.
