Cutter for sllage.
There are on the market several
makes OF silage cutters that will give
satisfaction, according 70 Farmers
Bulletin SIS, issued by U. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture. The capacity
OF the machine is an important consid
Grafton which should not be over
looked by the purchaser. Many per
sons make the mistake Of getting .
cutter which is too small, thus ma
king the operation Of filling the silS
very slow and interfering with thl
continuous employment OF the entir'
force OF men.
II is better TO get a machine larg'
enough so that every one will be abl'
to keep busy all the time. The large
cutters are equipped with self-feeders
a labor-saving device which the smal
Ter sizes lack. Other factors to b
taken into account in purchasing
cutter are the amount OF work TO b
done and the power available. o
course for the filling OF a very small
silo II would not be wise TO buy I
large machine. Neither would II b
advisable 70 overload the engine o.
motor by using a cutter which is to.
large for the power available.
Two types OF silage elevators arr
in us-the old-style chain carrier an,
the blower. The chain carrier re
quires less power, but is harder to Sc
) up and there is more litter when Il Il
: used, especially in windy weather
For these reasons the blower is nov
fast displacing the carrier.
The blower should be placed A

Preferred Fertilizers.

Commercial fertilizers should always
be bought on a guarantee Of analysis,
so the percentages Of the various ele.
ments may be known, and so the grow.
er may know what forms the plant
foods are in. Preference should be
given to fertilizers where the compo.
sition is definitely stated, because in
telligent plant feeding is not possible
without knowing the source Of the va
rious components Of the fertilizer.

Alfalfa caunen soourn.

Alfalfa fed too literally to very
young calves will cause scours. It is
very rich feed and the amount given
must be limited, especially when the
calf is young and before it has a
chance to adjust itself to alfalfa hay.
In short, whenever there is a change
made in the feeding of animals It
should be done gradually or there Is
danger OF digestive troubles.

To Keep sIlsoe.

A good way to make the ensilage
keep at the top OF silo when it is
filled, is to put part Of load Of straw
through the silo filler just before 1t is
through the Job. Then SOW a pail or
two Of oats on the straw covering and
dampen them. This covering does
away with about half of the spoiled
ensilage, to be thrown out after the
ensilage settles.

Plooerv Sanitation.

The sanitation Of the piggery
should be guarded as carefully as the
sanitation OF a hospital. Damp and
i'll ventilated sleeping quarters are
fatal to pigs and unless the owner
will see to It that hogs always have
a dry and well ventilated place to
sleep he had much better keep out Of
the business.

Red Cross Seals.

1t is claimed that there has been con-
tributed in this county to the relief OF
Belgian sufferers over 100000. This is
very commendable.
But it is also stated that the sale of
Red Cross Seals has been very slow
Only about $500 worth of these seals
were sent here and only small part of
them have so far been sold. Is it not as
comm endable to save the life of Ken
tuckian as that of Belgian? The sum
realized from the sale of these seals goes
to the relief of the Kentucky Tubercu-
losis Hospital. The good women of the
Woman's Club who are trying TO sell
these seals get nothing for the time or
trouble. 1t is purely work of charity
on their part. The part asked of Mad
ison county is so very small that it should
be met-and then some. You can get
these seals at Perry's, Stockton's, Madi
ison Drug Co. S and the Climax Madiso-

FRITZ Scheff, the dainty prima dona,
will be seen in musical piece entitled
pretty Mrs. Smith" at the Ben Ali
Theatre, Lexington, Monday, Dec. 18th,
direct from successful engagement al
the Casino Theatre, New York.
The vehicle for this delightful star is
departure from the usual style of light
musical entertainment, in that thong h
the musical numbers do not suffer, il
tells a well constructed story OF farcial
tendencies that alone is compelling in
interest
IL is in three acts, the book being by
Oliver Morosco, who produced Pretty
Mrs. Smith and Peg O. Nv Heart. -
Tne music is by Henry James and Al
fired Robyn, with lyrics by Earl Carroll.
The plot centers on the arrival of Dru-
celia Smith al Palm Beach, Fla where
she has gone TO escape from a Jealous
husband, and while there she encoun-
Lers her present husband and two 9th
ers, who were be lieved to be dead be-
fore she married again.
The possibilities of these situations
are splendidly employed and the story
moves forward at breezy pace, with
appealing and amusing musical num-
berS TO accelerate its development.
Miss Scheff is happily cast as the
m uch-married Mrs. Smith and her sup
port is composed Of broadway favorites,
including Charlotte Greenwood and Sgd
ney Grant, former favorites of the New
York Winter Garden Show, and George
Anderson. Others in the cast are Theo
dore Babcock, Jas. A. Gleason. Jean
Donegani, J. III. Childs, Grace Shaw.
Louise Cook, Marie De Marquis and the
Casino beauty chorus. The production
is an elaborate one.
Orders for seats. accompanied by re-
mittance, will receive prompt attention

Ali Theatre, Lexington.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

The world has grown old with its
burden of care.
But at Christmas it is always young"
1t is Christmas and the spirit of Christ
mas that is over us. The battle of COM
mercialism has for a brief time ceased
The warriors have stacked arms and met
each other on a plane of exalted manhood.
Pleasant greetings and words of good
cheer are heard everywhere and all goes as
merry as wedding feast. Is is the natal
day of the Savior, of Christ the redeemer,
and as such it should be fittingly observed
There was great rejoicing when the wise
men of the East found the infant Jesus in
the manager, To-day the world is rejoicing
in the celebration of his birthday.
The Christmas spirit works transforma-
ton in man, eliminating the grossness of
his nature, bringing out his noble traits.
Changing all his griefs and quaTels into
love" 1t dispels his narrowness and ira
dates him with spirit of sentleness,
meekness, kindness and love.
AT Christmas play and make good
cheer.
For Christmas comes but once a year"
But this jingle should not be taken to
mean that Christmas is a season of glut-
tony, revelry and drunkenness. To cele-
brate it in this way, is to lose the whole
spirit of Christmas and makes sensuality
instead of the finer, nobler. spiritual feel
ing, your Master.
After this season of rejoicing, we should
not let it be said of U.s.
We ring the bells. we raise the strain,
And feast and frolic-and then
Back TO the same old lives again"
We should emulate the life of Christ in
its purity and strength A good resolution
formed, even if imperfectly kept. strength
ems the character of the individual, eleyates
him in his own estimation and in that of
the world The Yuletide is the time of
good resolutions and no man is so good
that he can not be made better. There
fore, swear off the old bad habit and swear
on the new good one.
To all of our patrons and readers, we
wish merry, happy joyous Christmas.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth,
peace, good will toward men,"

Will Case Settled.

In the Court of Appeals last week the
famous Holiday will case was, finally
passed upon, the ruling of Judge J. NJ
Benton, of the Clark circuit court, be-
ing sustained. The case is one of the
most widely known will cases in the his
nv of Kentucky Jurisprudence. 1t was
a suit by the heirs-at-law of Stephen
Holiday to break the will of the aged
recluse, who left ali of his valuable es-
tate TO his wife.
The Clark circuit court held that the
will was invalid, but the case was ap-
pealed and final decision was rendered
only last week.-Winchester Democrat.

IL is my belief that we are all eager to
find merit. When it is conspicuously
displayed right in our midst by one of
our own friends. the enthusiasm is dou-
bled. Every time find something bet
ter than that to which l have become
accustomed, l imm ediately rejoice. IL
is as natural as can be.
Well, this is all said as an introduce
ton TO a word or two of praise for the
exhibition of portraits in one of the Ben
Hurst windows. They are not usual In
city the size of Richmond. Such a
collection of attractive phi otogra p b s
would halt crowd in a large city. They
are attractively framed and placed and
show worth rather than gaudy get-up
They are of varying sizes and poses and
their subjects range from dear little
white-haired baby boy 20 State Nor
NAL president. The silken linen finish,
the naturalness of the posing, the care
full details of placing and mounting chal
lenge outspoken approval. The photog
rapher has added 10 the dignified tones
by some delicate tinted portraits The
color work shows more than ordinary
skill and delicacy.
1t is my belief that we should boost
Richmond every hour of every day OF
every week. Winchester understands
this knack of causing growth; Lexing-
ton understands even better. Mr. S. j.
McGaughey has taken the time and care
to produce artistic craftsmanship and
we should see it at least. There are
number of windows that have taken win
dow-trimming genius. Let us find them,
commend them and let these progressive
spirits lead in the movement for a more
attractive business section.

ThaW Goes Back.

The United States Supreme Court has
decided that Harry Thaw must be re-
turned from the State of New Hamp-
shire to New York State. The opinion
was written by Justice Holmes and was
concurred in by the full court. the
opinion was brief one and the only
question passed on by the court was
whether the State of New Hampshire
should surrender him TO the New York
authorities This means that the liti-
CATION has just broken out afresh.

TOBACCO SALES.

There has been much grumbling on
the part of the tobacco raiser through
out the State as to the prices which they
are receiving for the weed. We notice
that prices have ranged everywhere from
81 TO SIS We also notice with much
satisfaction to ourselves that the Rich
mond market has commanded as good
price as any.
We are advised by experienced tobac-
co men, including both buyer and seller,
raiser and pinhooker and every other de-
scIiption of dealer. that there is a great
er diversity in the grades of tobacco this
year than ever before. We DO not regard
it as of any particular value to publish
that A sold basket of tobacco at, say
$40, or that B sold basket at SO, and
so on, for the reason that these cases
give no information as TO quality, the
condition of the market, the spirit of the
buyer or the willingness of the seller to
part with his crop.
When you take into consideration the
large number o. baskets sold each day
on the local breaks and understand that
every one of them differs in quality and
that the tobacco in each separate bas-
ket differs in grade, you cannot wonder
at the diversity of price; nor can you be
in the least sur prised that the tobacco
producer is not satisfied with his price,
if he gets sm all price, and the basket
next to his brings big price. The same
is true of every market where tobacco is
sold, in this and other States; and this
is also true in every market where any
thing of value is auctioned off TO the
public. Price is relative and qualify is
relative. and the diversity Of opinion
gives rise TO the range in price.
1t appears that the local markets are
doing the very best they can for the to-
bacco producer and that they are realiz-
ing as good prices as any market in the
State.
These tobacco markets bring TO the
city of Richm ond and county of Mad
ison much money and it is 10 be hoped
that better spirit between producer
and buyer and the warehouses will be
brought about and that there win be no
