POLITICAL DEBTS
OF HARDING FEW

Washington, Dec. 11.-Senatoi
Harding will have fewer "origina
Harding men" to reward when he be
comes President than most incoming
executives.
Harding will be less embarrassed
thru the payment of political debts
than most newly inaugurated Presi-
dents.
Naturally there will be hundreds OF
jobs distributed to organization men
turnout the country, but they would
have been distributed regardless of
who had won. These men we're for
the party first-therefore they will
claim their share Of the victory.
Sidetracked Him.
Before the convention most of the
party leaders we're too busy with the
candidacy of Governor Lowden, Gen
eral Wood and Senator Johnson to
take much notice of the Ohio Sena-
tor.
Even nine members of the Ohio
delegation thought so little of his can
didacy that they were making as
much noise as possible for General
Wood. The state was split wide open
in bitter fight between Harding and
Wood partisans.
At that time the next President OF
the United States was almost lost in
the shuttle.
His cause was regarded as hope
less by others than the loyal band of
thirty-nine Buckeye delegates, Harry
M. Daugherty, his campaign mana
ger, and his assistants, few friends
and handful of delegates scattered
among other states.
A humorous writer, in making up
a racing form dope sheet, went so far
as to say odds were 100 to against
Harding.
President-elect Harding has not
forgotten these pre-convention condi-
tions.
He also has splendid sense of hu-
NOR, and since the convention he has
often chuckled at the last-minute
rush to get on the band wagon.
The belated arrivals-and that
means almost all of. them-won't
have much standing at the pie coun-
ter.

Lexington, December 3-Four
sprays OF Bordeaux mixture on a
demonstration plot of tomatoes at
Livermore. KY, during the past sea-
son resulted in an increase of SO per
cent in the yield. The first spray
was applied when the plants were
well-esta blished in the field and the
others came at approximately two
week intervals. The experiment
was conducted by the University of
Kentucky Experiment Station and
those in charge OF the demonstration
stated that green tomatoes were still

Should Provide Chickens Plenty Of

II the best results are to be OBJ
tanned with poultry, they must be fur
nished with plentiful supply OF
green feed. Where fowls have un-
limited range on farm they will Sc
cure green feed during the spring and
summer, but during the winter 1t

The question of how to supply the

for himself. 1t will probably make
but little difference what kind OF
green feed is supplied provided 1t is
relished by the fowls. Cabbage, tur-

problems because they give the moth
er the responsibility for feeding 9TH
er peoples children. One danger of
such occasions-that of overeating-
will be lessened IL the refreshments
are served at such a time as to take
the place of one of the regular meals
Of the day. The same care should be
taken in selecting foods as in the case
of the ordinary meals.
No hard, tough, rich, or highly sea-
soned foods should be served, say
food specialists of the United States

some other milk drink, fruit, sand
wiches. ice cream or a gelatin des-
sert, plain frosted cake, and simple
candies make good bill of fare.

"Cornstalk Poisoning" Due To Vari-
Gus Causes.


At this season of the year losses
OF stock that has been turned to pas
ture on standing cornstalks, alter the
corn has been harvested in the au-
tumn. are usually reported in large
numbers. An element of mystery
has surrounded the death of cattle in
these instances. The disease is char
acterized by very rapid course. In
fact, very commonly there are no pre-
monitory symptoms, and it is'not un-
usual for the owners upon visiting the
field in the morning to find one or
more fat cattle dead which on the
previous evening were apparently in
excellent health.
Another popularity of the disease
is that losses may occur on one farm
or one field, while cattle on the adj
joining farm may be free from the
affection. Reports Of "cornstalk poi
soning" are always numerous at this
time of year. Various investigators
in the past have attempted 70 discov-
ed some germ or organism, or some
toxic substance, which might cause
this condition, but thus far the cause
Of the disease has not been establish
However, in many of the cases that
have been investigated, other circum-
stances were found which might have
been responsible for the trouble. One
of these is the fact that cattle which
have been accustomed to altogether
different feed often have acute in
digestion when turned upon corn
stalks. This may be caused by over
eating corn left in the fields or by
the consumption of cornstalks which
had been frosted before maturity.
There remains also the possibility OF
some poisonous principles in certain
of the stalks, but such principle has
not yet been demonstrated.
A popularity of stalk feeding is
that "cornstalk disease" almost never
develops from cut and cured stalks.
Therefore to prevent losses 1t
would be safer to cut and cure the
stalks before feeding, although 1t is
realized that for many farmers this
method is well-nigh impracticable. In
the latter case the cattle should be
permitted to remain in the stalk field
for only an hour or so the first day
and a little longer each succeeding
day until they become used to the
feed.
1t is always good plan to furnish
varied diet, and the practice of GER
tain farmers daily to feed such ami
mails also a fair amount of bright,
well-cured hay is thought well OF.
The so-called cornstalk disease
should not be confused with poison
ing from eating sorghum. Deaths
among stock from eating sorghum
have been traced to prussic-acid poi
soning. Under certain conditions OF
growth sorghum has resulted in Sc
rious losses of cattle.

THE life history of these people

vanced to the stage Of paleolithic cul

early Texas inhabitants had arrows
and spears tipped with flint points,
Clipped but not polished. They did
not polish their stone weapons, nor
did they engage in any form Of agri-
