For The Next Year.

The crops raised in the pass
ing year in this County are all
now about harvested. The
season has been generally fav-
orable and the yields have
been satisfactory. Prices have
been high and farmers have
been successful in their bust
ness undertakings. The thrifty
and wide-awake farmer, if not
completed his plans he will
have arrangements made for
next year. There are some
facts of which he can be assur-
ed that may stimulate him in
doing bigger things. The first,
the most important, is that la
Dor will be more available, in
fact, plentiful, as we see it.
We are assured that a large
per cent. of the boys will be re-
leased from the camps in time
to help even in the planting of
the next crops. This will en-
able the production of them
much easier and with less I'M
certainty of necessary help.
Again, the world store hous-
es of food are practically emp
ty. In all Europe, we are
told, that they are down to the
bed rock, in fact so low that
many millions of the worlds
population are now starving
and with the utmost effort Of
those countries who have GOOD
to spare millions of these hum
AN beings will perish from the
lack of the necessaries OF life
before another crop car be
produced or reach them. II
matters not how large the pro-
duction it necessarily follows
that it will not create a surplus.
Prices of the next crops will be
high under any conditions.
The farmer has the opportun-
ity of all times to receive an
adequate recompense for his
best efforts in production, and
at the same time save the starv-
ing millions of humanity who
are looking to the American
farmer for salvation. Let the
farmers of Garrard County be
up and doing for next year.
This is their golden opportu-
nifty. Perhaps they will never
have again the chances afford
ed in the year 1919.

Brother Jonathan.

Brother Jonathan>is q general name
applied to the people Of the United
States. Its origin Is said to be as fol-
lows: Soon after having taken COM
mand Of the Continental army, Gen.
eral Washington found that 1t was in
need Of many things. At that time
the governor Of Connecticut was Jona-
than Trumbull, the elder, a friend of
Washington In whose judgment Wash
ington had great confidence. During
the consultation on the state of the
army, Washington suggested that they
consult Brother Jonathan" meaning
his friend, Trumbull. This advice was
followed and Trumbull devised the
means of procuring what was required.
The story was told in the army, and
the reply to q demand for an article
was invariably to ask Brother Jona-
than" The phrase became proverbial.
As the personification Of the citizen of
the United States Brother Jonathan"
corresponds to the British "John Bull"
Nowadays, however, Uncle Sam" has
largely superseded Brother Jonathan"

CAN DEPEND ON DAIRY COWS
Preservation Of Milk Is az Essential az
ProductIon-keep Out All Dis
ease Germs.

The dairy COW will be called upon
to yield her maximum share of the
worlds food supply during the COM
Ing months of war. She can be de-
pended upon for production, but pres
ervatiOn Of the milk Is mans part. The
value of milk is dependent upon the
care 1t receives after 1t Is drawn from
the cow. Consequently preservation is
as essential as production. Milk Is
dangerous as human food II 1t con-
tains disease germs or worthless IL 1t
is so loaded with bacteria that its COM
plex food nutrients are partly decom-
posed. 1t Is equally valueless to the
producer and distributor If 1t sours be-
fore 1t can be put to use.
To prevent the entrance Of disease
germs into milk, healthy, tuberculin-
tested cows free from any udder In
fiammation or garget are the first es-
sentials. Healthy men, and pure wa
ter from protected well or spring are
of second Importance. Clean utensils,
covered pals and clean cows come
next.
Keeping. milk sweet Is entirely
matter Of cleanliness and temperature
regulation. Cows free from manure and
dirt especially In the region of the nd
der and TANKS; utensils that are care
fully cleansed, scalded and dried; and
careful protection of the milk from
flies and dirt after production, will
prevent the entrance of bacteria into
milk.
Milk Is soured by bacterial develop
ment and multiplication. Bacteria can
not reproduce fast enough to sour milk
in "a hours If It Is kept below tenn
perature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Therefore, milk should be cooled as
soon after production as possible. The
easiest and most practical plan of
cooling Is to sink the cans to the level
Of the milk in tub or running spring
Of cold water and to stir the milk fire.
quently for five or ten minutes until
cool. It should be held at or below
55 degrees Fahrenheit If possible until
used.
The five essentials for production
of first grade milk, as given by Percy
Werner, Jr. Of the Missouri college of
agriculture, are: 1. Healthy cows and
men; 2. Clean cows and men; 3. Clean
cans and pals; 4. Covered milking
pals; 5. Cooling milk to 55 degrees
Fahrenheit or below within an hour af-
ter production and holding it as low
as possible until delivered.

of his son-in-law.
He and his wife, after forty years
Of married life, had separated just the
one married daughter, Linda. He was
getting his meals and sleeping nights
at Kate's home. Daytimes he pottered
around the deserted home.
Looking back, he could scarcely ana

tied some relatives in the city for a
week. 1t was his first vacation and his
wife had encouraged him to enjoy It.
He had promised her a gold watch and
chain, and had come back without it
for reasons. In fact, old Joel harbored
a secret which he did not care to Inn
part to anybody.
"The present I promised you will
come in time, Nancy" he told his wife.
