two seasons. "Toots." a handsome
bird which won first prize in the cock
erel class at the Boone County Fair,
has now succeeded the Henderson
rooster. "Toots" has a bright comb,
snappy eye and lustrous plumage,
barred as though to a pattern. In
contour true to form. he exhibits a
score of good points of the breed.
''Toots" really belongs to Merle Ber-
rie, lad II years old, who became
a partner with his mother in the poul-
try business two years ago when Mrs.
l.. H. ELY of the Columbia vicinity
gave him setting of Plymouth Rock
eggs. Even before that time Merle
liked chickens: in fact, he has been
right-hand man in the poultry yard
for several years. Two of his hens,
as we'll as "Toots." carried off prizes
at the Boone County Fair.

And my hens lay practically all the
year. l have never known them to

weeks.
Take it month by month. our chick
ems never fail to pay for themselves"
Mrs. Berrle hurried to say as she drew
out book to show the figures. "You
see here we keep tab on the, number
of eggs laid each day. the number of
eggs used and sold. the pounds of poul-
try eaten and money paid out for feed
and other expenses. Everything is
charged at market price. Then at the
end of each month we figure up the
totals and never yet have we found the
balance on the wrong side OF course
now that the spring laying season has
opened up our hens have become real
money-makers and do a great deal
more than pay their board"
When it was pointed out that 40
cent eggs against feed at s4.25 a hun
dred did not look very encouraging
Mrs. Berrie smiled: "Its harder now
since everything costs so high, but
these figures tell us that poultry still
pays"
Save Beef and Pork for Soldiers.
The Berries raise very few chickens
to sell, but they enjoy scores of chick
en- dinners during the year. In fact
they were saving pork and beef for
the soldiers long before Hoover went
on the job. And l quit killing my
hens before the warning was given,
too" said Mrs. Berrie. "for l am anx-
ious to raise just as many chickens
this year as have room for"
The Berries have to fight against
space in the poultry business. They
are hoping to build a new chicken
house soon and convert the present
shed into scratching pen. But in
spite Of the small yard and patched |
up pens they are getting results. And
what is still better. they know exactly
what they are doing and have facts to
back up the assertion that poultry
pays.

The kaiser himself could not devise

which rules the roOst in the Berrie
poultry yards at 401 Locust street.
Mrs. w. II. Berrie. who says she can
not remember when she did not raise

Barred Plymouth Rocks to perseve-
renee or to plain luck. However, to
hear her story and to see the books in
which is kept accurate account of

pound of food used in producing the

that scientific methods have turned

That Ancona chickens are winning

SCHOOLS.

The early settlers were not in
different, even when but few of
them were here to the education
of their children. AS far back
as the year 1893, which was
some nine years before the
county was formed, a school was
taught at the forts, Casey's old
fort, and fuckers fort, north of
RusselI's creek, and Casey's
fort, south of the creek. The
school master who was abroard
at that early day was one, Ar
thur Hopkins, who came to Ken
lucky from the state of Va. He
at one time owned land in the
neighborhood of what is now
Bliss, and was involved in litiga-
ton about it with Col. Casey and
Ben Lamptom and after his
death with their heirs. The
court adjudged his claim stale,
and without merit, as it. was
presented, but regardless of this
he is entitled to be remembered
as our pioneer school teacher.
AS Casey's old fort and the new
one were some ten miles apart,
and fuckers fort some three
miles from the former, he had
quite a circuit over which to
work, and one not unattended
with danger at the time. He
says himself in regard to it, that
he was employed by VIM. Casey
: to teach school at Casey's station
near Buffers fork, on the south
side of Russell's creek, and the
people living with Casey. and
the people of Casey's old station,
and fuckers station, which were
situated on the north side of
Russell's creek and for John
Harvey, VIM. Butler, Francis
Pelham, Henry Renick, John
Reynolds, and Isaac Butler. The
lschool was taught for one year,

be one hundred years old the I'd,
day of May of this year, 1918.
1t was a remarkable school with
which she was connected at that
early day-remarkable in the
number of prominent men whom
it sent out and remarkable too in
the fact that she was a member
of it. Altho a centenarian, her
mind is clear and active in re-
gard to events occurring around
her today and her memory ac-
curate as to the events and per-
sons of yesterday and the dis
tant past alike. She is living
not in that distant past. but
in the present, in the enjoyment
of her children and her childrens
children, and with a lively inter.
est in her friends and the church
with which she is connected.
In this list of school girls ap-
pear the names of many noble
mothers who graced happy
homes in after years, and whose
children and grandchildren, un-
der the gentle and refining in.
fiuence of their lives, grew up to
useful and honorable positions in
society, some of whom today are
among the most enterprising
people here and in other States.
The pupils of this school were
distributed as follows, one from
Todd county, one from Cumber-
land, seven from Green, thirty
three from Adair county outside
of Columbia, and eighty from
the town.
A little later on some very
successful schools were taught
at points in the county outside
of Columbia. A noted teacher
of that day was Jesse P. .Murrell,
a native of the county. He
taught at Zion Church and pro.
badly for some time in the town.
He was especially gifted in i'm
parting a knowledge of mathem-
atics, and was the author of an
arithmetic which set forth his
peculiar system. He subsequent
ly removed to Barren County,
and died there or in Hart. VIM.
H. Sanders. who subsequently
removed to Louisville. and took
a position in bank. had for
some time a very fourishing
school near Mt. Pleasant church.
