TAUGHT AT HUSTONVILLE
Next Governor Started School Teach
ing in LINCOLN County

In an interesting life history Of
Hon. Augustus Owsley Stanley, DEM
ocratic nominee for governor of Ken
lucky, in Sundays COurier-Journal,
the statement is made that Mr.. Stan
ley first taught school in this county
at Hustonville. That part of the BIZ
ography together with an interesting
story of Stanley's boyhood, follows /:
Mr.. Stanley's first experience at a
teacher was in Christian College at
Hustonville5 Lincoln county, where he
held the chair of belleslettres. Later
he taught school at Bradfordsville,
Marion county, and then at Mackville.
He abandoned school teaching and be-
gan the practice of law in 1894, re-
celving his license in that year.
Indicative of the unconquerable
fighting spirit of Mr.. Stanley, a story
is told of fight he had with another
boy when II years old. The two were
in swimming together, and hostiiIc1es
tarted when they began splashing wa
ter at each other. Not having good
use of themselves in the water, they
determined to walk out onto the bank
and battle there until one or the other
cried enough"
In natures garb only the two as
cended to level place overlooking a
steep bluff, at the foot of which was
a briar patch, and Immediately began
to pummel each other. The boy, al
though not much larger than Angus
tus Owsley, was older and stronger,
and it was not long before the latter
realized that he was no match, physi-
cally for his opponent.
Although both eyes were swollen
almost shut, and his nose was bleed
ing profusely, young Stanley did not
for moment entertain the idea of
Surrendering, but began to cudgel his
brain for plan whereby he could win
by means of nerve in lieu of strength.
The plan came to him like flash, in
spired perhaps by desperation.
Remembering the briar patch at the
foot of the bluff, young Stanley ceas-
ed to squirm for moment, wrapped
both arms about the other boys body
and then, with mighty lunge. rolled
over the embankment, taking his an
tagonist with him.
Over and over they rolled down
the bluff, their naked bodies held
close together by the desperate grip
Augustus Owsley's arms, and then
plunged into the thicket of briars.
The needle-like thorns tore their
flesh in a thousand places, but young
SANKEY'S jaw was set, and he did not
give forth a whimper as he continued
to hold the boy in vice-like grip. and
rolled him over and over in the thick
ct of a million barbs.
The battle, in a twinkling, had
ceased to be one of strength, and be-
came a test of nerve. strictly, in
which Augustus Owsley came out
victor, the other boy crying enough"
n way that convinced young Stan
ey that he meant it. When they final
y eXtricated themselves from the
oriars their naked bodies were cover
I'd with blood.

BEST MILK PRODUCING cow.
Prof. Nichols Interesting Observa-
tons Upon This Ring At Fair.

w. d. Nichols, assistant professor
of Animal Husbandry at the State
Experiment Station at Lexington
who judged the best and highest pro-
ducing dairy cow ring at the fair the
first day, has written an interesting
resume Of the ring and the tests made
for the 1. j. Prof. Nichols makes
some valuable observations and sug-
gestions, which ought to interest ev-
cry cow owner.
Prof. Nichols says:
Prizes were offered in this ring
for the cows giving the largest
amount of butter fat. The amount of
butter fat produced by cow is de-
pendent upon two factors, first, the
amount of milk and second the rich
ness of the milk, or in other words
the percentage of butter fat contain
ed in the milk. In order to get at
these factors each cow was MIXED
out in the ring in the presence of the
judge and the cows milk was tested
for butter fat by the of the Bah
cock Milk Tester. The milk and but
ter fat production as shows by the
tests made by the representative of
the Kentucky State Experiment Sta
ton was as follows:

column, percentage butter fat; 3rd

1t will be noted from the above
| figures that most of the cows enter
ed gave milk of very low butter fat
for instance: No. 3 tested only 1.2
per cent, No. /. 1.S per cent, Nos.
A and 8, % per cent. These low tests
without question were due to the fact
that the cows were nervous and eX-
cited on account of the presence of
strangers in the show ring and the
unusual condition in which they were
placed for being MIXED, resulting
in their holding up their milk espec-
tally the last milk or stripp1ngs. In
the quiet of the basn at home these
cows in all probability would have
tested a great deal higher than indi-
Gated by the figures in the above ia
BILE. 1t would have greatly helped
in tn. stables on the fah grounds
rather than in show ring.
For perfect fairness in contests of
this kind a rule should be strictly en-
forced requiring that every cow en-
tering the contest be MIXED out clean
at some time in the afternoon pre-
ceding the contest. This is the plan
ollowed oft in the sres: Eng 'sh
dairy shows held annually in London
at which there is a contest for the
best milk and butter COW of any age
or breed. Usually from 80 to 60 cows
are entered in this class and there
is an invariable rule that the judge
shall see all cows milkSd out clean at
a given hour in the afternoon before
the show. This givesl every COW an
equal chance and prlstnts any I'M
fairness in skipping one or more
milkings for the purpose of allowing
an abnormal amount Iof milk to be
stored in the udder.
A good farm cow is a money
maker. On almost every farm, how
ever, there are cows which are not
profitable producers and it is i'm
possible to tell always these boarders
by their looks. The best judge cannot
go into herd of 20 cows and place
them in the order of their profitable
ness. He may place them according
to the rules of judgment followed
in the show ring, but after his plac-
ing the milk scales and the Babcock
Tester would tell very different
story. Time and again we have seen
this tried. The only safe plan is to
weigh and test the milk of each cow.
Save the good cows and dispose of
the boarders. The best and cheapest
way to improve herd is to breed
the cows to pure bred bulls of heavy
and butter strains and save
their heifer calves.
Good scales for weighing milk
can be purchased for very small
sum and a small Babcock Tester out
fit suitable for farm use costs only
$500. The testing is very simple and
IAN be done with perfect accuracy by
any school boy or girl, or by the far
ner himself.
