Concord street just outside Of one of
the docks of the Clyde line.
One of them, the first one to I'm
ish his lunch, rubbed his hand across
his mouth, and, reaching up, took OFF
the hat which adorned the head, pull
ing forth half-smoked cigarette and
a pair of dice, and in manner which
denoted extreme bliss dropped the
"bones" on the ground. Hurry up,
you niggers, if you wants to shoot
some crap" snapped he, and presently
there were seven or eight Of them
squatted down on the ground and the
bones began rolling.
One of the passengers of the Clyde
liner Lenape, ventriloquist, spled
the game and desiring to have some
fun, sauntered over to within twenty
or twenty-five feet of the sQuatting
forms.
"Now, look here, niger, don't
t'row me down so hard" said the
ventriloquist, throwing his voice into
the crowd. For a few moments the
men appeared startled, but after look
ing around once or twice they resum-
ed their game Of African golf.
"Now, look here niger, did you
hear me? I said not to t'row me down
so hard,' said the ventriloquist again.
Each one of the men glanced at the
| others, but not word was said, and
after few moments interruption the
game was started again.
"Dawgonit, nigger-didn't you
hear me say not to t'row me down so
hard. Don't have me tell you again,
chortled the ventriloquist.
The featherweight player who had
! been rolling the "bones," laid them
on the ground, and turning to the
others in the game exclaimed: "Is you
all hearip' the same thing is? Dees
dice sho IS talkin?"
Il mean what I said, and there Is
going to be trouble around here if ]
have to tell you again not to throw
me down so hard" said the ventril-
| oQuist.
Away edged one of the men, then
another, then the third, until finally
the crowd had dispersed, leaving the
dice on the ground.
The last thing seen was the ven
triloQuist who was standing by laugh
ing heartily, and at the same time
trying to tell some of the other pas
sengers how he had broken up the
game, while the men apparently un'
aware of the fact that joke had been
played upon them, we're walking uI
the Clyde dock with their eyes wide
open.-News and Courier.

F0UR-C0URSE HEN MEAL
BRINGS ON LAYING MOOD

N,Tarmers and poultrymen can't I'LL
the crop of the hen with miscella-
neous collection Of feeds and expect
her to keep the winter egg basket
full, according to J. H. Martin, in
charge of the poultry work at the
College of Agriculture. A hen egg
is made up of four main parts, IN
Guiding the shell, water, yolk and
white and in order for the hen to
maintain a high egg production dur
ing the winter months when eggs are
high priced, it is necessary that her
which these parts can be manufac-
tured, Mr.. Martin has pointed out to
Kentucky farmers and poultrymen IN
his suggestions on feeding for win
ter eggs.
''What is lacking in the feed given
most farm focks is something to pro-
duce the white of the egg which is
largely protein" Mr.. Martin said.
Experiments show that go per cent
tankage, commonly used in hog
feeding, buttermilk, sour skim milk,
or commercial meat scraps, a by
product of packing houses are good
ones to feed for this purpose.
"If tankage or meat scrap is fed,
it will be necessary to feed dry mash,
20 per cent of which should be the
tankage or meat scrap. A good
mash in which corn meal supplies
additional energy to keep the hens
warm in winter, may be made from
800 pounds of shipstuff, 100 pounds
of corn meal and 100 pounds OF
tankage The dry mash should be

barium carbonate mixed with four
parts of bait has been found to be
effective. If the two cannot be mix
ed, the. poison may be sifted over
the bait and then rubbed in.
Since barium carbonate is poison
GUS to children and domestic ami
mails, care should be taken in placing
it about the farm or home. The bait
should be inspected daily and any
that is not eaten replaced by another
kind.
In their suggestions the station
workers have pointed out that de-
struction of rats is community
problem and that even il ones build
ings are rat proof, the pests will
give trouble if permitted to breed in
the vicinity.

Letter Of Interest
To Our People

W. 4. Tyler read on Sunday to the
congregation Of the Baptist church
the following letter from member
of the LeitchheId Baptist church,
with which the Rev. Olus Hamilton,
pastor elect Of the Mt. Sterling Bap-
list church, has severed pastoral
connections. The letter will be OF
much interest to the church going
people of our city:
MY Dear Mr. Tyler: Having OBJ
served from your check to our Bro
Their Hamilton that you are o mem
Der of the church at Mt. Sterling,
/ am taking the liberty to write you
concerning the sterling character
and fine ability Of the pastor whom
we have lost and you have gained.
We feel our loss deeply, and our
feeling is relieved only by the fact
that he is going to bigger field and
work more fitted to his capacity.
| have never known a life more COM
pletely given over to the purpose of
God than this Brother Hamilton. He
reminds us, in his great power in the
pulpit, Of the great preacher who
said, "He has surrendered his life
completely to see what God could
do with it," and l predict that He
will do a mighty work with Brother
Hamilton. Trust that your church
will give him full, whole-hearted
support, and that great things may
be accomplished in the name of our
Lord.
Personally l am bound to him with
very strong ties of a warm and val
ued friendship. I have been en-
couraged and lifted up by his fell
lowship and miss him more than |
can tell you. But | hope that this
will all be your gain, and be assured
that l shall be interested in your
work. Sister Hamilton is just as
excellent in character, possessed OF
many fine womanly traits and is al
ways actively interested in the work
With kind regards and wishes foi
the success of your work, / am,
Sincerely yours,
AUBREY M0QRMAN.

self feeder. !,
"Material for making the shell
may be supplied by feeding ground
limestone or oyster shells, which
should be left before the birds at all
times in hopper provided for that
purpose.
"Since two-thirds of the egg is
water, success in feeding for winter
eggs demands that the birds have
access to plenty of clean, fresh wa
ter which should be warmed dur
ing cold weather.
"Any Of the grains found on the
average farm, such as sweet sor-
ghum, wheat, corn and OTIS contain
yolk- forming material.
"Grain mixtures, any one of which
may be fed with the dry mash, may
be composed entirely Of corn or 20
parts of corn and 30 parts of oats
or equal parts of corn, wheat and
oats. Birds of the heavier breeds,
such as the Barred Plymouth Rock
and Rhode Island Red, will require
about Is pounds of grain day,
while the lighter breeds, such as the
Leghorn, should receive IL pounds
In either case, one-third of the
amount should be fed in the morn
inb the thirds in the evening in
straw litter at least 10 to IL inches
deep.
FARMERS who have sour milk and
buttermilk can use it to advantage
to replace the dry mash fed the
birds. One gallon a day of either
is sufficient for 80 hens"

CROP ROTATION SYSTEM
IS FARM BALANCE WHEEL

In pointing out to Kentucky far
mers that the winter months are the
ones in which to plan the farm crop
rotation, specialists at the College
of Agriculture have emphasized the
fact that rotation brings about bet
ter distribution of farm labor, saves
plant food, builds up impoverished
soils, reduces loss from plant dis
eases and insects and produces a
supply of home grown feeds.
"a good rotation should be so
planned that legume, such as
clover or soybeans, will be grown
from one to two years out of the
four or five," K. f. Stephenson, the
soils specialist of the college, said.
"Since legumes are soil builders, the
poorer the soil, the greater will be
the demand for legumes. With the
legumes grown in the rotation for
feed and all manure carefully saved
and returned to tn soil, farms
should hav no need to purchase nj
trogenous fertilizers for ordinary
farm crops.
"The production of crops for feed
or cash also should be considered
in planning the rotation. Where
hogs are extensively raised, ample
provision should be made for corn
production. A dairy farm, on the
other hand, would call for less corn
and more hay and pasture.
Another point to observe in plan
ming the rotation is to provide for a
crop on each field throughout the
year. Erosion and teaching remove
more plant food from bare fields
than the production of crop would
Special cover crops, such as rye
seeded early in the fall, will b.
needed in some cases as part Of
the rotation to prevent this leach
ing and erosion.
"On a hog farm, a rotation il
whirh corn and soybeans are plant
ed together for two years and theI
followed with wheat in which grass
and clover is seeded should prov
satisfactory from a soil improvement
standpoint. In this case rye shoul'
be used as a winter crop after tn
first crop Of corn and beans is har
vested A dairy farmer might pre-
fer corn one year, followed by ry
cover crop plowed under in th
spring for soybeans, which would b
harvested for hay in the fall. Whea
could be used to follow this am
grass and clover seeded in the graf
the following spring. A Tobacco
grower in the dark belt would fin
a rotation of tobacco, wheat and clio
yer satisfactory system to- fol
} low"

BROWN RATS BEGIN
ANNUAL HOME hUNT

Inquiries from farmers and other
persons troubled with the common
brown rat indicate that the time of
the year has arrived when these
pests gather up their belongings and
move from the fields into buildings
and barns where the supply Of food
is more plentiful and the conditions
more home like, according to the
workers at the Kentucky Agricultu-
raj Experiment Station. These ro-
dents annually destroy about S20,-
100000 worth of grain and food
products in the United States and
are worthy of considerable atten-
ton from farmers, according to the
workers, who have recommended
barium carbonate poison as one OF
the most effective means of de-
stroying them.
However, rats soon learn to avoid
any particular kind of poisoned bait
and for that reason should be given
varied diet, Harrison Garman, en-
tomologist at the station, has point
ed out in the suggestions. Three
kinds of bait, and more if, possible
including grain, meat or cheese
and a vegetable give best results
II is better to offer them bait with
out poison first and then alternate
poisoned and imprisoned food unit
the rodents are killed. One part oil
