The Courier has received nu.
merous enquiries as to whether
Circuit Court would be held here
next week. 1t has been rumored
that Judge Gardner would ad.
journ Court for the session on
account of smallpox and measles.
We are authoritatively informed
that this will not be done. There
are no new cases of smallpox in
town. There are a great many
cases of measles but that disease
seems to be as prevalent in vari-
Gus parts of the county as it is
here.
Moreover, it is understood that
defendants who want their cases
continued and witnesses who are
wanted before the grand jury
will not be permitted to hide be-
hind the smallpox and measles
scare and make this an excuse
for not attending court,

See That The New Seed Law Is
Complied With.

The new Kentucky seed law
was enacted nearly a year ago
and has been in effect since
September %, 1916. Everybody
concerned has had ample time to
comply with it, yet it seems there
are people who are not familiar
with it, and some who intend to
defy its provisions. Briefly
stated, it requires that all field
seeds, such as those of clover and
oats, must bear a label giving the
percentage of purity and of
termination, and that sealed
packets of vegetable and flower
seeds shall bear the date of filling
and the percentage of germina-
ton. Failure to label seeds pro-
perly renders the seller liable to
a fine or from 25 to 100 dollars
for each violation. The law was
enacted for the protection of
Kentucky farmers and seedsmen
and this open letter is an appeal
to them to uphold it by insisting
that it be complied with.
Do not receive seeds that are
not labeled as the law requires.
Buy only of people who comply
with the law.
! Insist that field seeds be honest
ly labeled with the approximate
percentage of purity and germi-
nation.
Insist that sealed packets of
seeds bear the date of filling and
the percent. of termination in
large tppe.
If you find dodder, sour dock,
or wild onion seeds among field
seeds, send US samples for test
ing. 1t will be done free.
Secure copy of the law in
Circular No. 5 of the Department
of Entomology and Botany, and

Cut Bone Encourages Eggs.

When commenced feeding
green cut bone, about the first
thing | did was to find its feeding
value by actual test. Hens under
like conditions, with fresh-cut
green bone added to their feed
laid nearly twice as many eggs in
the winter season than did the
lot without the bone.
Fifty-eight chicks Matched at
the same time from the same
kind of eggs were divided into
two lots and treated the same,
except one lot was fed some extra.
The lot with bone extra to their
feed grew much faster and at the
end of Is weeks, the end of the
test, a person would never have
thought the two lots were the
same.
The lot fed the bone were not
only larger, but had clearer and
brighter plumage. The lot that
ate the bone went through the
test with the loss of but one
while the lot without the bone
sustained a loss of five. This
with other observations, lead:
me to believe feeding bone will
lessen the death rate in chicks
and that old stock will be health

not streuously enough to save their

were forced to give in to the more
numerous ranks of the freshies.
After the battles setting was
changed to mother earth the freshmen
proceeded to duck each sophomore in
