IRVINE HARD HIT
BY $4,000 FIRE
ONE-HALF OF THE BUSINESS
SECTION WIPED OUT BY
FLAMES.

Irvine, Ky, Nov. 25.-Half of
the business section of the city was
destroyed by flames early this morn
ing when fire, which started in a res
taurant, spread rapidly to adjoining
buildings and soon, was beyond con-
troll. Owing to the fact that the
city has no waterworks plant, little
progress could be made by freight
ers, and when the blaze at last was
extinguished quarter million dol
lars was lost
Tom Buford, contractor, suffer
err from heart disease, fell dead soon
after the fire had been extinguished
Excitement, it is believed, fastened
the end. c. G. Dulin, who drilled
the first oil well in the Irvine field,
escaped from a burning building by
sliding down telephone guy wire
to a place of safety.
The flames were discovered at
1:45 o'clock by occupants of a
building adjoining the City Restau-
rant. They quickly spread the
alarm and hundreds of persons gath
cred to lend aid. The blaze, which
originated in the restaurant, spread
rapidly to other buildings and IN
short time one of the principal
business blocks of the city was
ablaze.
The greatest loss was sustained
by the following firms: City Res
taurant, $4,000; Lyric Theatre,
10000; Williams Bank. $4,000;
w. E. Howell Jewelry Store. the Ma
pie Oil Company. Office of DIR. W. p.

Farm Leaks.

In every farming community may
be found a certain percentage Of
farmers who are unsuccessful, who
are often unable to tell why they are
not making money
This lack OF knowledge on the part
of the farmer is due chiefly to the
fact that he is not keeping farm
records, and. therefore. is not at
tempting to analyze his business.
Those farmers who keep good farm
records are not willing to do without
them. These accounts should not
only show the profit or loss on the
farm as whole, but should show on
which crop or animals the best pro-
fits are made No training in book
keeping is necessary to keep such ac-
counts.
The chief object in farm records
is TO learn how TO improve the bust
ness of farming and how 10 make it
more profitable. Many of the indus
tries employ efficient experts to study
their business plants with view OF
increasing their efficiency. This may
result either in saving in the cost of
production or in increasing the out
put without increasing the invest
ment
Such experts always emphasize the
importance of keeping accurate rec
ords of costs. BY doing this the
farmer is able to ascertain just where
losses occur and where 10 apply the
remedy. Such records surprise many
farmers. Often they find that a crop
which they believed TO be very pro-
htable is I'm reality produced at "a
loss

Eye Teeth Do Not Cause Blindness
In Horses.

Occasionally horses and mules are
found % have small superanumera-
ry teeth just in front of the first
molars--jaw teeth. There is pop
ular soperstitution that these extra
teeth are a cause of eye diseases and
blindness. There is no foundation
in fact for this belief. There IS
nothing to it. 1t is ridiculous. The
blood supply of the teeth is entirely
distinct and separate from that OF
the eyes. There is no direct connec-
tion between the eyes and teeth as
far as the nerves are concerned. As
"a matier VI fact, some horses and
mnits have seven molar teeth in
stead of the normal number of six.
The small wolf tooth is simply the
evidence that there was a tenden-
cy toward the development in that
particular animal Of All extra mum
Der of teeth. Such extra teeth have
absolutely no connection with the
occurrence of the eye diseases,
Hooks, The horse needs three
eye lids in each eye and has them.
All animals not provided with fin
gers have this extra structure in con-
nectiOn with the eye. 1t is natures
method of providing something for
the removal of foreign particles from
the surface of the eye. In nervous
diseases the ''haw." or third eyelid,
is seen TO protrude over the surface
of the eye to a varying extent In
eye troubles II is also to cover a con-
siderable portion of the eye. If
your horse is unusually nervous and
excitable, somewhat stiff in the limbs
and has the hooks" you had better
call your veterinarian as the disease
is likely flock jaw" Lockjaw, Of
course, is a very dangerous disease
and unless treatment is prompt is
apt to be fatal.

Science and Farm Appetites.

Farm wives who are burdened
with the problem of feeding the vor-
acious hired man should be inter-
ested to learn that "a growing boy
of school age requires about fifty per
! cent more food than a hardworking
adult farmer"
We quote from the Journal of the
American Medical Association. The
author of the statement is a man of
science and he bases his conclusion
upon scientific formulas, following
an intensive study of the schoolboy
appetite.
If this be so, how comes it that the
farm wife and housewives in general
have raised so little cry over the
problem of feeding up their growing
boys? Can 1t be that the boy on the
farm is starved while the hired man
and the other adult males of the fam
lily are overfed? Perhaps the whole
problem may be solved by checking
up and weighing what your boy eats
and then cutting the mems rations in
half.
How many farm wives would have
the courage to make this experiment?
Alas, too few! Science need look
for little help in that direction. But
it might pay the gentlemanNef science
who made the great discovery to hire
out as cook on farm where dozen
husky adult farmers toll. Surely
there must be a good many thousand
farm wives who would love to have
him tackle the job while they enjoy
ed y brief vacation.

How to Improve Range.

The problem of improving and
probably managing native pasures
is Of great Importance to every own
er OF live stock in our range States.
Since there is very little unused
range left, it has become all the
necessary to build up and improve
the run down ranges. Indirectly
this range question affects the meat
and wool industries and every CON
sumner of their products.
A recent government pamphlet on
tho Improvement and Management
of Native Pastures in the West" tells
of the condition of native pasture
lands. the causes of pasture deterior-
alton and what the Department of
Agriculture is doing to improve these
lands. At the end of the pamphlet
the suggestions for improving and
managing native pastures are sum
married. under five heads and a ia

Rules For Dragging Roads.

Use a light drag.
HAUL IT over the road at an angle
go that a small amount of earth is
pushed to the center of the road.
Drive the team at walk.
Ride on the drag; de not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re-
turning up the the opposite side.
Drag the road soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is in such a condition as to
stick to the drag.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all
seasons of the year.
The width of travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be
from IS to 20 feet; first drag a lit
tie more than the width of a single
wheel track, then gradually increase
until desired width is obtained.
Always drag a little earth towards
the center of the road until it is rails
ed from 10 to IL inches above the
edges of the travelled way

The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider
ably controlled by the driver. accord
ing as he stands near the cutting end
or away from It.
When the roads are first dragged
after very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, if possible, to one side
until the roadway has a chance to
freeze or partially to dry out.
The best results from dragging
are obtained only by repeated appli-
cation.

that's part of his education.
The Kansas City Star tells of man
who never voted for a losing candi-

it adds: Such man, if there really is
one, has certainly been woefully hand
icapped. He has never been able to
exultingly say, when an official was

kind of a thief he is, during the cam

defense or offense on account of the
cussedness of their husbands. But

Again, the business ability and
business habits of the farmer are test
ed when the banker asks for a state
ment of the borrowers business. This
information is needed by the banker
as a basis for intelligent rating. If
the borrower is in the habit of keep
ing accounts and can explain the ma
ture of his resources and liabilities and
thus indicate accurately his financial
standing, the wisdom of granting de-
sired loan as well as the proper terms
thereon readily can be determined. On
the other hand, if this information is
lacking and the banker is in doubt
about the safety of a particular loan,
he is likely to charge up his uncer-
tainty to the borrowers account in the
form of a higher rate of interest.

shall submit a statement of his BUSH

statement whenever it is called for.
Some bankers, in inaugurating a sim
