Transferring Desiqns

For transferring Tribune embroid-
cry patterns: A great many ways
have been given for transferring The
Tribune embroidery designs but 7
think my way the best Place a sheet
of carbon paper on smooth surface,
carbon side up. Then place goods to
be embroidered right side next to car
bon. Now lay your pattern on goods
and pin 1t securely to goods only
leaving the carbon paper free. You
may now go over the pattern with a
pencil as usual, and at any time In
the proceedings and you may fit pat
tern and goods together and see that
you left out none of the design, and
there is no danger Of disarranging the
pattern and marring your design.

SAID OF A KENTUCKY GIRL.

Miss Josephine Harkins, an accom-
plished vocalist of Prestonsburg,
lately gave a musical recital in
Portsmouth. The Times, of that
city, says of her singing:
Miss Harkins, the fair young
Kentuckian, seemed inspired, as she
lifted up her voice in Cadman's
choice song, AT the Dawning. The
audience at once decided that the
selection of Miss Harkins as as
sistant artist was felicitous. Her
fine lyric soprano voice is we'll ball
anced-the tones of the middle reg
ister finely poised, those above bril-
liant and full of color. Miss Har-
kins' second number, The Swallows,
by the English composer, Frederick
Cowen, suggestive of bird life, with
all its thrills and tragedies, was
truly a gem, and elected prolonged
applause. The third number, Chan
son Proyencale,' was very beautiful
and full of technical difficulties,
which gave evidence of painstaking
study and fine training. To insist
ent applause at the close of this
number she responded with Come
to tts Garden, Love- dainty song
by Mrs Salter.'

MIR. MAYo's ILLNESS.

An editorial in the Louisville
Evening Post says:
eul moIJ seWoo luql sM9u OIL
bedside of Mr.. j. Q. c. Mayo Is so
far favorable, and the people of the
State will join with his personal
friends and business associates in
hoping that a career of such prom
ise may not be cut short.
Although he has behind him
record of big things done, Mr.. May
is still, comparatively speaking. a
young man, having hardly reached
what is commonly alluded to as
middle life. Beginning as a couT-
try school teacher, he has. by com
bination of energy. foresight and
business ability, laid the foundation
of personal fortune, but he has
put u hitherto undeveloped section
Of Kentucky In position to pro-
duce the almost limitless wealth.
Mr.. Mayo has been SO busy man
and the undertakings upon his
hands have been SO large that none
but the people of Eastern Ken
lucky have been able to know him.
In some parts of Kentucky he is on
by name, but 1t is Ia name for
success deseryedly won. In Eastern
kentucky he is looked to as man
who has already done much and is
expected to do more for the section
In which he resides. II he is spar
ed to continue his work Kentucky
will know him as do now his own
neighbors and friends.

FORAGE POISONING
OF HORSES and MULES
Timely Article on How to Prevent this
Disease.

During the fall of 1912 numerous
outbreaks of forage poisoning oc-
Cured throughout the state of Ken
lucky, but in the spring of 1913
when the animals were turned out
to pasture the losses were soon
checked. In the last two months
numerous letters have been receiv-
ed from farmers reporting the pres
ence of this disease in a very viru-
lent form, resulting in the loss of
large numbers of animals. Some out
breaks have occurred, so sudden and
fatal in their onset, that owners
have suspected malicious poisoning.
Examination of the stomach con-
tents of the animals fatally affect
cd eliminated this suspicion.
The cause of this disease is close
ly related to the feed. In the ma
iority of outbreaks observed in the
Blue Grass section and along the
Ohio river counties, where 1t has
been most prevalent, the cause is
attributed to moldly or inferior en-
silage. Samples of ensilage have
been received at the Experiment
Station for detailed study, and Dr..
H. Garman reports the presence OF
molds which are considered the
cause of forage poisoning in one OF
the middle western states.
Samples of ensilage that proved
fatal in different outbreaks were
secured by the Station and for the
past thirty days have been fed to an
experimental horse. AS yet this
animal has not suffered from the
disease, but inasmuch as the animal
used In this experiment is aged and
as such animals possess much nat
ural resistance hat young and
growing animals do not, Just con-
clusions cannot be drawn.
The disease has occurred more
commonly In horses and mules
where ensilage was the principal
feed Ensilage OF a high grade can
be fed TO horses and mules with
both safety and profit, but when
tainted or Inferior, ensllage should
be fed very sparingly TO any class
OF live stock. Cattle, however are
not so subject 70 It's III effects as
arc horsos and mules. Tho practice
OF feeding enailage TO the latter
must be carried on with care, and
careful inspection OF the ensilago
must bo made at each feeding iims

SYNOPSIS OF ADDRESS
BY PROF. I. ]. COATES
Delivered al the X. n. c. Rally on
Last Friday Evening.

The interest l have taken In Law
renee county has been due In some
measure to tho fact that it occupies
strategic position in the educa-
tional and agricultural development
OF the Big Sandy valley.
/. It has advantages OF geo
graphic nature which must be pot
ent to all who study the matter,
being situated as 1t is at the juno
ton OF the two rivers.
2. 1t has educational advantages
in that there is located in Louisa a
normal school which draws patron
age from both rivers and from
both states.
8. II has agricultural advantages
in that the thought of the people
is not distracted by any other sort
OF development than agricultural de-
velopment.
a. 1t has social advantages in
the nature Of the people OF Louisa
and the surrounding country.
From these and other reasons. It
seems clear to me that Lawrence
county and Louisa must play an i'm
portant part in the future of the
valley.
The improvement of the Big san
dy valley therefore depends to a
considerable extent upon the i'm
provement of Lawrence county both
agriculturally and educationally; and
both of these forms of Improvement
are closely linked together, SO close
ly that it is very difficult to say
which should precede the other. In
the last analysis, however, the per-
manent Improvement of the county
educationally depends upon the en-
during Improvement of the county
agriculturally.
Jas. j. Hill, the president OF the
Great Northern Railroad, says:"The
farmer must be considered first In
all our politics, because he is the
keystone In the national arch."lhe
student OF human life problem has
long reminded us that the farming
class alone possess permanent vital
ity. that from It's overflow the city
population Is formed, displaced and
removed; that any city, II left 70
itself, would die in four generations
and that the country problem Is the
national problem stated a few years
IN advance, From oil these reasons
the farming problem should receive
