as well as the body Of it, plainly
show that it was only intended to
affect and repeal section 1854 and
1867.
1t is, we think, equally clear that
the scope of the act so plainly de-
fined could not be and was not in
tended to be extended by section 3
thereof, declaring that "all laws
and parts of laws in conflict here
with are hereby repealed" This re-
pealing clause should be read and
construed to harmonic with the
title and the body of the act and
confined to the purpose of the act
as expressed in the title and the
body. Really, in view of the title of
the act and the subject matter of
the sections, there was no necessity
for an additional repeating clause.
And certainly this repeating clause
should not be construed to extend
the scope Of the act beyond the pur-
pose expressed in its title and body.
This view was aptly expressed by
this court in Hall VS.. Smith McKen-
ney Co., 162 KY, 159, where it was
said: "The act of 1914 amends only
sections 1854 and 1857 of the local
option law of 1894. Accordingly
our conclusion is that the act of
1914, as well as the act of 1912, or,
in other words, sections 1854 and
1850, of the kentucky Statutes, are
each valid, consistent enactments,
md under and by virtue of them an
election prohibiting the sale of liquor
in any county in the State may be
held, and if majority of the voters
of the county at such an election
vote against the sale of liquor, then
its sale in each city, town, district
and precinct in the entire county is
prohibited.
Here follows a discussion of sew
eral points raised in the cases from
Shelby and Bourbon counties and
having no local application is omit
ted.)
Having considered all of the
grounds for reversal relied on by
counsel for appellants in their
oral arguments and brief filed in
this court, our conclusion is that
the judgment should be affirmed in
each case, and it is so ordered; the
whole court sitting.

and solid by means of heavy roller
or system Of rollers. This will leave
a firm, solid roadbed which will not
be seriously injured by heavy traffic.
This system of road building is
being followed in many parts of the
West with splendid success. When
ruts and holes are formed in a road,
the Jolt and jar of the wheel makes
them deeper and forms a pocket for
holding water from the first rainfall.
This softens the roadbed and. deep
mud holes are soon formed, while If
there had been no ruts or depressions
there and the road had been we'll
rounded up, the water would have run
on into the bitches on either side, and
the surface Of the road would be firm
ana IN perfect condition.
Another good thing worthy of care
full consideration in the building of our
good country roads Is that of the con-
struction of permanent and lasting
culverts. Culyerts built Of stone or
concrete cost more than wooden
bridges, but they will last hundred
years, and they will not rust or need
repainting every year, as iron truss
bridges do. In the end, they are the
most economical kind Of viaducts.
The advent Of the automobile and
its employment by the more prosper
GUS class of farmers has given great
impetus to road building, too; and
the time Is coming when We will have
more and more good roads in the
middle West.

The selection Of ration fol horses

the prices Of the feed, and the
amount and character of the work.
For 1000 or LOO pound horse at
moderate work daily ration of from
10 to II pounds of grain and from
II to IA pounds of hay should be am
pie. At light work the grain ration
should be increased. For horse at
moderate work weighing from 1000 to
LOO pounds the following rationa
will be found satisfactory. These ra-
tons are to be divided into three
feeds. Nearly one-half Of the rough

VINE PRUNING IN THE SOUTH
Proper Time to Work on Grapes Is In
spring, Just Before Growth Starts
LEAVES Stop Bleeding.
(By C. M scHTTT.Tz,


IN the South the only time to prune
the ordinary grapes is just before
growth starts in the spring. Then
the leaves will soon stop the bleeding.
One spring in North Carolina the
weather turned hot the first of March
and the vines that had been pruned
in the fall made shoots six inches long
while those that had not been pruned
hardly swelled the buds.
Inc last week in the month the
mercury suddenly fell with a. norther
70 ~ degrees above zero and the
shoots on the pruned vines were fro.
zen. After the freeze pruned my
grapes and had a normal growth, while
those around me hardly got half a
crop. had learned this from seasons
years before, when l had seen the
same thing. But the scuppernong
must be pruned in November or De-
cember as 1t bleeds worse than the
cluster grapes.

IMPETUS TO ROAD BUILDING
Gecret Of Maintaining Country High
way Lies In Keeping II Well
Rounded Up and Drained.

Over a good road, we can haul prod
ucts to market at any season of the
year and get full benefit of the highest
prices. 1t is a simple matter to build
good country road, as it is not abso-
lutely necessary that it should be
built of gravel or crushed stone. The
secret Of the maintaining of the Coun-
try road lies in keeping it we'll round
ed up and sufficiently drained, by ar.
ranging 1t so that the road Is about a
foot higher in the middle than it Is at
the edges.
A good dirt road we'll maintained is
not an expensive proposition, writes
Eugene j. Hall of Oak Park, ILL.,, in
Farmers Review. Shortly after every
heavy rainfall 1t should be dragged
with a split-log drag. This will fill
all of the ruts and depressions and
produce a smooth surface we'll round
ed up in the middle of the highway.
After being rounded up with a split
log drag, the roads are made firm

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
No Factor Contributes More TO Pros.
perlty and Happiness of the Rural
Communities.

The convention of the Virginia Road
Builders association draws attention
to a subject Of prime Importance to
the people of this state. Scarcely any
single factor contributes more to the
prosperity and happiness of rural
communities than good roads, says
the Richmond Dispatch. Good
roads mean easy and quick communi-
cation, economy In transporting farm
products to railway or market, con.
venient access to the outside world,
and a higher average of citizenship,
wherever they are found. Virginia
has done much Of recent years to
make its highways measurably equal
to those Of most other southern states,
but much remains to be done. The
people as a whole must be educated
to a proper understanding of the eco.
nomic and sociological benefits that
good roads confer.
