In spite of many academic discus
sions, nobody really cares what makes
the wild cat wild because the wild cat
is no good even when he is tame. But
it makes all the difference in the world
whether useful livestock is trained or
wild. The finest colt in the world, pro-
duct of the best draf stock, is of little
use to a farmer unless he has been
broken to harness, is bride wise and
tracttable.
A COW may be champion milk pro-
Queer but she is of comparatively little
value if nobody can milk her. setter
may carry the blue blood of Count
Gladstone and have a nose for birds
that is unequilled but nobody wants to
hunt behind him unless he has felt the

with wild dollars. They are as numer-
Gus as the herds of wild horses and
buffalo that used to roam the plains of
the west and Just about as useful If
you capture them. all you can do with
them is lock them up in a cage to keep
them from getting out, destroying your
financial fences and trampling your
garden plots. You cannot even handle
them without their getting away or
doing you some harm.
But If you tame them and train them
by continued and patient and regular
investment in safe securities such as
War Savings Stamps, Treasury Saw
ings Certificates or Liberty Bonds you
can make them work for you faithfully
and well. Investment is the only
known method of subduing wild dol
| lars but it must be safe investment
Like every other animal trainer you
must have patience and the lesson
must be repeated until it is thoroughly

last average killing frost may be eX-
pected or week earlier. Make a sec
ond and third planting. With harrow
or rake go over the field or garden be-
fore the plants appear. Corn may be
safely narrowed (teeth set back at
angle of As degrees) until it is several
inches high. Harrow crosswise in af-
ternoon, since the plants are not quite
so liable to injury during the heat of
the day. A few plants will be hurt
but if the stand is a good one little
damage is done. Any injury is far
overbalanced by moisture saved and
by the elimination of weeds. Later cul-
tivation Gust be shallow. AS the plants
grow to maturity the surface feeding
roots meetin the spaces between the
rows and are put a few inches beneath
the soil Thin plants to II or 16 inches
apart.
Irrigation Where irrigation is
practiced, and it is needed usually for
sweet corn, plant the seeds along the
edge of raised rows. Water may be
run in the trenches between the rows.
If the sprinkling system is used in the
garden, keep the seed bed level. Guilt
vate carefully soon after the condition
of the soil will allow it. Better still.
scatter pulverized manure - street
sweepings or such as may be found in
carroll-around the plants and sprin-
kle. The water will carry the food
elements in the manure to the plants
and little cultivation will be necessary.
Follow this suggestion in irrigating
other plants with the sprinkling sys-

State Wool Pool.

The Central Wool Auction will be

Wool from some 25 or so counties to-
falling approximately 100000 pounds
will be sold by sample to the highest
bidder. This represents a novel scheme
of handling the State wool clip, being
the first of its kind to be formed in
the United States. The Department of

is fostering this plan. Expert graders
are going into the respective counties
and grading this wool according to
government standards which have
been accepted and approved. Already
three or four of the largest wool buy
ers in the United States have signifed
their intention of attending this auc-
ton. Wool growers from Ohio and In
diana have wired the College wanting
to pool their wool in this central auc-
ton, which goes to prove that it is an
excellent idea.

Save the Sheen.

Farmers having sheep should dip
their nose in tab as soon as the gad-
flies make their appearance, which
will be any time after the middle of
June. The Veterinary Department, of
the College of Agriculture, estimates
that at least two per cent of the sheep
in Kentucky die from grub in the head.
With 1,24O,000 head of sheep, two per
cent. dieing means a loss of "a, 800
sheep. valued at the low figure of 80
per head means $24S.OO0 annual loss.
In some fiocks the injury was as high
as eight or ten per cent, and this two
per cent. is an approximate average
TO rthe state. This is tremendous
loss that can easily be saved by plac-
ing tar on the nose of the sheep.

A few POINTERS ON
GROWING SWEET CORN

written for the United States
School Garden Army)
Sweet corn can be grown to advant-
age in those home gardens that have
room for the cultivation of the larger
vegetables. Corn can be canned or dried
if desired and kept for winter use.
In growing sweet corn ii is impor
tant to have a good-sized patch. One
or two rows are likely not to do well,
because the yellow powder, called pol
len, that comes from the tassels is
blown away. To get good ears, some
of this pollen must fall upon the silk
of the young corn ears. So it is good
plan to have the corn in a square
block rather than in long rowe.
When two gardens are near together
1t will help to have the corn plots in
the two gardens next to each other
You thus double the chances for the
pollen to do its work.
Particular Wants - Sweet corn is a

Destructive Army Worm Makes
ADDearance.

Already several counties in the
Static have reported injury from the
army worm. Reports have been re-
ceived at the Experiment Station from
Larue, Daviess and Henderson coun-
ties. These insects can be found every
year in small numbers in our meadows
and pastures and especially in places
of neglected grass along bitches or I'M
cultivated fields where they are no
liable to be disturbed. In some sec
tons these worms may do considerable
damage and owing to their various
habits the farmers are often inclined
to believe that il is the cut worm in
stead of the well known army worm
owing to the fact that they do not
march" The College OF Agriculture
is recommending a STEW simple means
of control where these insects are es-
pecially destructive TO corn and other
cultivated crops.

Brotherhood officials, after all day
conferences, made no attempt to con-
ceal disappointment that they did not
get all of the billion dollar increase
they asked. The belief grew, however
that union officials would submit the
award probably without recommended
ton, to a. referendum of the men. A
decision was promised tomorrow by
w. G. Lee, grand president of the bro
therhood of railway trainmen,
Railroad representatives accepted
the award and set about plans for
passing the addition to their budget
along to the ultimate consumer-fn
this case the man who pays freight.
Armed with reliable advance knowl-
edge as to what the award would
provide, the railroads had their fig
ures ready. Judge Barton had hard
ly handed down his decision when
E. T. Whittier, representing more than
400 railroads involved, announced

merce commission will be asked to
spread the increase over both freight

resents a 81 per cent increase in the
pay of railroad men.
The award was made retroactive to
May /, with provision that. back pay
falls due August l, when $15G,00O,O 900
is to be distributed in addition to reg
ular pay. Yard service engineers, fire
men and helpers who receive an

three months award totalling $11O16. |
On percentage basis the biggest |
increases went to unskilled and semi |
skilled labor while conductors, engin- !
GERS and shops crafts receive smaller
percentages.
This award, if accepted, will close

of wage demands from railway work |
ers. Since 1916 there has been an al,
most continuous procession of rain
unions before various government |
boards all demanding more pay.
