Thousands Of Cattle Die in K. c. Fire.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. IGNORE
than one.half of the Kansas City
stock wards, the second largest in
the country, was destroyed by fire
early today. -,
1t was estimated after the fire had
been brought under control, after two
hours, that several thousand head OF
cattle had been destroyed.
Some estimates ran as high as TO-
600.
There were 47,OOO cattle in the
wards at the close of business yester-
day. it was said and while it was pos
sible to liberate most of them so
rapidly did the flames gain Roadway,
that many were caught and burned.
Cattle Wander About Streets.
Hundreds of Cattle freed from the
burning structures, reached the down.
town sections of both Kansas City,
Mo-. and Kansas City, Kan.
It was the third disastrous fire in
the history of the Kansas City stock
Yards. The blaze was discovered by
two patrolmen in Kansas City Kan,
and before they could summon appa-
ratus, the fire had become unmanage-
able.
Fire departments from both Kansas
Cities combated the flames.
The origin of the fire has not
been determined so far. The other
two were caused by carlessly throw
ing cigaret stubs about.
No estimate of the pecuniary loss
has been made.
Many new shipments Of cattle were
in the yards today ready to be un-
loaded. Cattlemen were undecided as
to what disposal to make Of the cattle
but it was suggested that they would
be shipped on to either St. Louis or
Chicago Omaha and St. Joseph also
might be benefited by shipm ents, it
was said.
Very few swine were burned. The
hog pens were reached by the flames
but most of the animals seemed to
have been liberated.
No Embargo on Shipments.
No embargo has been placed upon
the movement of stock to the Kansas
City yards, officials said, and today
hogs, sheep, and cattle for slaughter
at the packing houses were being sold.
The officials of the yards have asked
the railroad companies to accept no
large shipments, but believe they will
be able to handle all live stock re-

Agriculture is the basis of all civilized activi-
ties. The adaptability of any territory to the
growing of crops marks its usefulness to the hu-
man family Some parts of the earth seems to
have been made only to prevent hole in the
ground, and there are few holes below sea level
so poor that they are not even filled with water
Not SO here Our soil contains every mineral ele-
ment, which can not be taken from the abundance
in the air above it, needed for plant growth.
And not only is this soil rich in plant food, but
the subso and the rock under it is of almost the
same substance as the mineral parts of the top
soil. In fact this section of country is so great
in its possibilities in an agricultural way that it
might with truth be said that the world lies
around it.

DIRECTIONS
For Sowing Wheat. Seed And Varieties

The varieties of wheat generally
grown in Kentucky are the best fol
this state. These are Fultz. a smooth,
white chaff variety: Currell's Prolific,
having a smooth head with red chaff
Fulcaster. a bearded variety. and Med.
iterranean or Four-rowed Fultz.
II necessary to buy seed, one OF
these varieties should be chosen. aid
il possible the seed should be bough,
in the immediate locality. Home
grown seed is just as good as Northern
seed il reasonably clean and 7 ure. No
farmer can afford to buy enough high
priced seed from distance to plant his
entire crop. and pay freight charges in
addition. just to have absolutely pure
seed. A moderate admixture of other
vari,ies will not decrease the yield.
The important thing is to have seed
free from rye. cheat and especially
cookie and onions.
Seed wheat should be cleaned in
order to remove light shrunken grains.

adv antage in screening out small grains
il they are plump.
Sinking smut sometimes causes con.
siderable loss in Kentucky. IL can be
controlled so cheaply end easily that
there is little excuse for having smutty
wheat. The formaldehyde treatment
is the easiest to give and is perfectiye'
ly effective. This is applied as follow,

= TriaI-Name Committee to Run
Railways.

Washington, Nov. 27.-GOvernlnent
ownership Of railways is not imminent,
though it is being discussed in every
conference that has to do with the
transportation feature of the war.
Government operation of the roads,
however, looms as very live posi-
bility of the near future.
The pooling arrangement just agreed
to by the railways themselves will be
tried first, but there are q good many
people of authority in the matter who
have only a partial faith in it's sue
cess. The executive committee that is
to operate, the pooled Eastern roads is
composed of the vice presidents of the
various systems.
The railroads are sure the recent
resolutions of the railroad war board
will answer all purposes, and will
actually solve the traffic problems en-
genedered by the war. If they are
right, the operation of the roads will
be left in the hands of the companies.
1t will not take long to determine.
The operating officers of the Eastern
roads met and created a committee to
handle the railway pool. The mem
bership is as follows:
Vice President Thompson of the B.
& O., chairman.
CIR. Gray, president of the Western
Maryland.
A. t. Dice, president of the Phila-
delphia & Reading.
p. E. Crowley, vice president of the
New York Central.
Elisha Lee, acting vice president Of
the Pennsylvania lines East
G. L. Peck, vice president of the
Pennsylvania lines West.
A. J. Stone, vice president of the
Erie.

London Morning Post Finds Papal
Court Lacking in Neutrality
Appeals to Government.

London, Nov. 24.-The Vatican is
accused in an editorial in the Morning
Post of being implicated in the propa-
ganda which, the newspaper says,
was largely responsible for the recent
Italian reversoS.
Reviewing what it describes as Vat
lean Vaccinations, the Post declares
that the Vatican's political activities
during the war "can by no sophistry
be regarded as consistent with the
principles of neutrality"
"From the beginning" says the
Post, "the Vatican has leaned to Aus
trials side and lately has furtively,
but actively, espoused the Austrian
cause"
The newspaper calls on the British
government to look into the matter
and demands that the Vatican declare
definitely on which side it stands.

tinted everywhere with British khaki
and French blue. They had been ON
