West is especially fitted for this posi-
ton because of his exhaustive knowl-
edge OF the engineering problems Pc
culiar to the rural community. These
are very different from the problems
OF the civil engineer and require men
OF special training in their solution.
In defining the field the School Of
Agricultural Engineering covers, Pro
fessor West said:
Agricultural Engineering is largely
the adaptation Of civil, mechanical and
architectural engineering to the prob.
lens OF agriculture. II Is true, how
ever, that new branches OF sgricultur.
al engineering are being developed and
extended. As now generally recog.

HorSa|esS Farms
Long Way Off

Some prophets and cons Of proph.
cts who predict that horses on the
farms will soon be only a memory,
will have passed away and pleasing
epitaphs will be carved into stones
which mark their resting places, long
before their prophecies become fact
The Introduction of the farm tractor
will not, as some believe remove the
horses from the fields and from their
pastures.
The advent OF street cars did not
have that effect upon horses, neither
did the bicycle nor the automobile.
Today there are more horses in this
country than there were ten years
ago. and the prices are considerably
higher.
The one thing that the farm trac
tor will do is to supply the need Of
power on the farms which horses
cannot give. Take away the farm
tractors which are in use today and
several hundred thousand horses
would be required to replace them, or
II horses could not be had the lands
would have to go unplowed and un.
TILED.
The number of tractors now in use
will be multiplied many times with
In the next ten years, but there will
be as many horses in this country as
there are TODAY and prices will be
even higher than now.
Farm tractors are becoming nee
have become-the same telephones
have supplanted the telegraph in a
way and have taken the place OF mes
senger boys and quick delivery OF
mail. No one will agree that there are
not more miles OF telegraph wire in
use today than ten years ago, nor
can 1t be said that there are fewer
messenger boys, yet the telephone Is
in almost very business house and in
many households, doing work for
which there was little demand a few
years ago.
The farm tractors will simply fit in
to the greater needs of the country
and will do the heavier chores and
drudgery which horses are little nj
for. They will not replace the
horses, but will simply assist them
and make life easier for them. They
will also enable farmers to breed
better horses because their mothers
will be kept for that purpose instead
OF spending half or more of their time
in doing heavy work.
Let us not dream too long upon
the practicability OF the horseless
farm-it is a long way on

Wood Pulp
An Example

In these days practically all the
$4,000 tons Of paper which we make
daily is made from wood pulp. The
writing and bond papers and few
other high priced papers, contain
more or less rag, but the paper on
which dailies, weeklies, magazines,
and books are printed is made from
wood. The quantity of the former
Is but drop in the bucket OF the
latter. The wood is made into pulp
and the pulp into paper. This pulp
is selling at price nearly three
times that of IS months ago.
A few years ago pulp was put on
the free list with the result that,
while our population and the cores.
ponding consumption OF paper has
steadily increased, there has been a
very little increase in our pulp mill
capacity. A pulp mill costs from a
million dollars up. The war has
prevented the normal import of pa
per and pulp from Canada, Norway,
Germany and Russia to such an ex.
tent that the paper used by dailies
costs double what it did two years
ago. In fact there Is good pros
pect that many one cent dailies will
have to charge two cents and some
magazine publishers are confronted
with the necessity Of raising their
price at least five cents a copy.
Cheaper pulp Is the only solution but
American pulp makers dare not put
millions into pulp mills with the pos
sibility Of the foreign pulp supply
confronting them.
This is written as a statement of
conditions rather than an argument
in favor OF high tariffs. The fact is,
many commodities were too highly
protected in the past, and now some
articles are not sufficiently protected.

Chinese Made
High Grades
Graduate Crowded West Pointers At
v. 8. Army Service
School

Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Sept. T.
Waan Wal Lau, a Chinese govern.
ment engineer is the first civilian to
be graduated from the army engineer
school here. He also is the young.
est graduate Of any of the army ser.
vice schools, being only % years old.
His work throughout the school
year, which closed Saturday, was re.
markable considering the fact that he
had had no previous military train.
Ing. In few instances he made bet
ter grades than some OF the other
members of the class, who were West
Point graduates and officers in the
corps of engineers-to which only
the students graduating from the mil
itary academy at the head of their
classes are admitted.
Previous TO entering the engineer
school last September, Mr.. Waan had
spent five years in Cornell Univers-
ity, obtaining degrees in the fine arts
and civil engineering. China's gov
eminent then selected him to take an
advanced course in military engineer
ing and made arrangements through
the war department to have him en-
ter the Fort Leavenworth school.
He is eligible to enter the next
stan class at the army service schools
but 1t Is probable that he will visit
China before doing SO. He expects to
obtain a commission in the Chinese
army New York Sun.

The Auto Trailer
For The Farmer
BY c. n. Gregg

Now that the farmer has found
that his automobile is more than a
pleasure vehicle for himself and his
family, and can be used for so many
duties connected with operating his
farm, he is looking into the question
OF "A trailer to increase Its efficiency
for his commercial purposes.
The average automobile has suf-
hcient power in reserve to pull a
well designed trailer loaded to at
least a Thousand pound capacity. This
In addition to the passenger capacity
of the automobile and when 1t Is UNI
derstood that each automobile Is so
constructed that it will do its rated
work under the most severe condi-
tons, 1t can be seen why there ia
such a reserve power available when
the machine is operated on fairly
good roads and light grades.
There are a good many trailers on
the market which are built specially
for the farmers needs, and the va
riety OF designs Is startling. Probab-
ly the least successful of any type Is
the two Wheeled tmiler. Regardless
Of how we'll built or designed 1t may
be, the two wheeled principle pre-.
cludes the possibility of II tracking
with the automobile around turns and
consequently It develops side pull
to the auto that take power far in ex.
cess of the reserve and strains the
automobile frame. In going through
depressions on the road or over any
bumps the load on the two wheeled
trailer Is subject to severe jolting
which makes It almost impossible to
keep in on.
There are a great number OF four
wheeled trailers on the market which
MI the farmers requirements and the
small addition in price over the two
wheeled type Is hardly noticeable. AS
to the solid Or pneumatic tires for the
trailer, there does not seem to be any
special reason why either is superior
to the other. Each serves the pur'
pose well, and the pneumatic costs
n little more when new, and there is
another set of tires to puncture and
blow out. On the other hand the
solid tire does not take up the road
shock as we'll as the pneumatic.
Any well designed four wheeled
trailer will prove to be good invest
ment for the average farmer who has
any amount OF light hauling to do
with his machine.
BY their use the automobile is not
subjected 10 the heavy loads that are
usually put in the tonneau and con-
sequently the auto springs are not
strained and broken under the unus'
ual load neither is the body OF the
machine scratched or the upholster'
ing torn as is usually the case when
It is used for truck.

There, woodman, let 1t stand,

Forgive this foolish tear,
But let that old oak stand!
My heart strings round thee cling,
Close as thy bark. old FRIEND.

And still thy branches bend.
Old tree! the storm still brave!

Offices in the John L. Tanner store
room, near the canning factory.
With years experience in the real
estate business in Washington, Ore

that we can give to the good people
of Lincoln county, who will list their
property with US for sale, prompt
service and a square deal. Yours

GOOCH AGAINST STATEWIDE
House Settles Question At This Ses-
sion of the Legislature.

Statewide prohibition was given
its death blow at the present session
of the Legislature when the House
failed to give the proposition to sub
NIT the question to vote of the peo-
pie the necessary three-fifths major
ity. 1t required 60 votes to pass the
House and it only received 50, the
vote against granting the people the
privilege to vote on the question be-
ing 40. Thus the Drys lost out by
lack of six votes.
The debate over the question be-
came very warm and considerable
interest was aroused by the votes of
various members upon this big ques-
ton, which will be a factor in Ken
lucky politics until the people have
had vote upon it. Representative
w. G. Gooch, of Lincoln county, vot-
ed against it. Representatives H. c..
Kaufman, of Garrard, Merriwether
Smith, of Mercer and Claude Minor,
of Boyle, voted for it; Representa-
tives j. R. Dorman, of Jessamine and
George L. Pickett, of Shelby, voted
against it. These are all democrats.
Republican representatives, Wall, of
Casey, Bullock, of Rockcastle and
Laurel counties, and Tartar of Pulls
XII, voted for it.

GOOD STOCK MARKET MONDAY

Court day was mighty cold but a
good sized crowd came to town not
withstapding. The mercury was
around the zero mark at daybreak
but most of the incoming cattle
traders got here Saturday or Sun
day with their herds, so few suffer-
ed on the way. There were nearly
1000 cattle at the Nunnelley stock
yards and Manager T. w. Jones was
kept busy all day. Very few went
away unsold. Best stockers brought
very close to eight cents a pound,
that figure being refused for an ex-
ira bunch of black beeves. Other
stuff sold from that figure down, ac-
cording to quality and class. A large
number of mules were in town, but
the severe weather kept most of the
buyers away. Then, too, the disease
which has been killing them off in the
south probably had some effect on
the sales and made the market on n.y.
birds rather slow as compared with
a few weeks ago.

ANOTHER ROAD
VOTE APRIL Is
Petition With Sufficient Names Is
Presented to County Court and
Judge Takes Action.

In response to petition signed by
166 voters of Lincoln county, Judge
J. p. Bailey Monday called special
election, to vote on the question of
issuing bonds to the amount of
$15O,000 for road purposes. The
call for the election, fixed the date
on Saturday, April 18th.
Most of the names on the petition
presented to the county court ask
ing for the election were of West
End voters, sentiment in that section
of the county, it is understood, being
particularly strong for road rebuild
ing and reconstruction, on account
of the miserable condition of the
roads in that section. West End
men say however, that in initiating
this campaign for another road bond
election, they were assured of sup
port from other sections of the
county, which at the time of the pre-
vious election, perhaps did not favor
the proposition so strongly. The
vote at the time of the previous bond
election was GIG against the proposal
to vote bonds and 864 for it, ma
jority of So votes against it. This
vote, however, was only a very small
proportion of the vote of the county,
which is about 1000, and the advo-
Gates of road bonds say that they
will be able at the election on April
18th to poll greatly increased vote
all over the county.
ID. w. Dunn, representing the
West End petitioners, brought the
petition here and filed the petition.

HEMP BOOMING IN cARRARD

Hemp is the product that is out
rivalling all other Kentucky staples

ing season of 1916, and if their pres
ent plans see fruition, that county
will come into her own again, as one
of the greatest hemp growing dis
tricts of the world. H. B. Cox. Lam
caster buyer for the Paris hemp
dealers, E. F. Spears & Sons, reports
the recent purchase of four car loads
of the Garrard lint product, the
Paris company shipping two car
loads from Lancaster direct to
! Newark, N. j., firm last week with
another couple of car loads to go out
to the New Jersey dealers at ar
early date. The latest quotation or
the fiber is $11 per hundred, while
| 500 acres in Garrard county were
sold within the past week even at al
advance on this figure, the reputet
price being $11.50 per hundred
pounds. Agent Cox quotes from
1-2 cents to IL cents per pound a
the range of prices on Garrard'
1915 hemp crop, and $3.50 per hun
dred, the price so far on the con
tracts made for the 1916 crop of tn
fiber. Many of the 1915 crops o
Garrard hemp showed yield o
