Seeing Is Believing.

The county agent of Cumberland
County evidently believes in the old
saying seeing is believing, for he
writes AS follows;
II spent large part of two days
arrai ging pig feeding experiment.
1t is AS follows: Two pig pens were
constructed on the public square and
a self feeder for pigs was also con
structed and placed across the par
tition between the two pens. In one
end corn only is to be placed and IN
the other end balanced ration CON
sistlig of parts corn, paris shorts
ard parts tankage is placed SO that
the pigs In one pen get only corn
while the others get balanced ra-
tien. The 4 pigs are to come from
the same litter and are to be the same
size as nearly as possible. They are
to be weighed at the beginning and
end of the experiment which is TO
run 4-6 months. A record of cost of
all feed is to be kept ana the cost of
the gains computed at the end.
This experiment not only demon
strates the value Of balanced ratiCns
for pigs but the value Of self feed
er also. l have heard no less than .
dozen persons say they were going to
make them one. 1t has been the
chief center of attraction"

SHEEP BREEDERS
PRAISE DOG LAW
Canine Is Great
est Menace to Live
Stock of State.
Lexington LEADER

The resolutions given below have
been passed by the executive COM
a.ittce Of the Kentucky Sheep Breed
ers' Association.
This committee l. composed OF the
following; DR.. II. 4. Stevenson, pres
ident; T. S Good. secretary-treasurer
Miss Lillian IIeadley. Miss Sunshine
Sweeney. J. s. Watkins, Robert S. Bla
stock. Z. b. Gaines, II. II. Drane. H.
VI. Froman, Abram Renick, l.. l.. Dor
sey. Col +. II. Taylor. Jr., a. +.
Shouse. T. l. Hornsby and Claude
Williams.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas. The greatest menace to
the sheep industry in the State of
Kentucky is the dog. which one fact
has done more in recent years not
only to cause shcepmen to become dis
gusted and dispose of their flocks but
also to keep hundreds of other men
from going into the business. and
Whereas. Reports from Kentucky
r,isers show that 60 per cent Of them
consider the dog the greatest menace
To the sheep business today, the
losses reported for 1916 varying from
one to siXty-eight head per flock, one
can see that the dog menace is the
greatest limiting factor to further de-
velopment Of the sheep industry in
Kentucky, and
Whereas. 1t has come to the no
tice of the executive committee of the
Kentucky Sheep Breeders Associa-
ton that the importance. enforcement
and value of the dog law for the pro-
lection Of all classes Of live stock has
been questioned in certain instances,
this association desires to go on rec
ord as being fully in accord with this
act, believing II expresses the atti-
tude of the Kentucky sheep growers
and others interested in the protec-
tion Of the live stock industry, there
fore
"Be 1t Resolved: That the dog law
represents, in the opinion of the
Sheep Breeders, Association, the bast
opinion Of the leading live stock in
terests Of the State of Kentucky as to
the method by which live stock may
be protected from dogs; that the pres
ent law AS enacted is satisfactory to
the live stock interests of the State
and that IL is effectively administered
and is source of protection to the
farmer and has met with no COM
plant from taxpayers, and
"Be II Further Resolved: That the
necessity of such a law is apparent.
when it is considered that the devel-
opment Of the sheep industry and its
future are largely dependent upon
our ability to control the dog men
ace. and
BE II Further Resolved: That it
is the belief of this association that
the law should be strictly enforced,
and its members in the various coun-
ties and the members of other live
stock associations are called upon to
report to the proper authorities in
stances Of laxness in its enforcement,
and
BE II Further Resolved: That it is
the opinion of this committee that the
law as it now exists should continue
in force, and the Kentucky Sheep
Breeders Association. with its kim
bred live stock associations. will con
tinue to support it until experience
indicates that changes are advisable.

Conveniences
On the Farm.

If we compare life upon the farm
now to what it was fifty years ago we
shall find a wonderful increase in its
convenience and comfort to the
farmer.
Improvements in farming machin-
cry have made the work somewhat
less strenuous, and improved meth
DDS of farming enable better results
to be produced with less effort.
But the greatest amelioration in
conditions comes from the rural free
delivery, the telephone and the auto
mobile.
These have put an end to the farm
er's isolation. He is now a member
of the community, and prominent

ions, news of the world comes to him
regularly, and he is in immediate
touch with neighbors and friends.

Stock Market Notes-

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-A firm tone
featured the stock market opening
tx day. Steels were strong with
United States Steel opening at 1O13 q.
up Il, and Crucible at 1874, up 1$s.
Mexican Petroleum was Off Il point
at 170k; Central Leather opened at
90, up Il; Baldwin at 1047s, up Il ;
Studebaker at 1914, up 1s.
The firm tone which marked the
opening continued throughout the
first hour. Numerous specialties
made good advances. Tobaccos were
irregular. Rails showed firmness.
Reading was up IL at 1914.
Just before noon there was a slight
recession throughout the list Among
those stocks which held up wen was
Sinclair Oil which was up rs ~
55B.
Around 1870 p. m, United States
Steel broke through par, selling at
1872, off 2ss from the days high /;
Crucib1e was off AZ; Bethlehem b
off rs at 805s, and other leaders off
in proportion. Interest centered in
the possibility of blg steel strike
which would cripple the steel in,
dustry.
Prices were forced still further
down just before the close and new
