The question asked above Is vital
" important one 20 the voters Of
Kentucky: Even tho popular cleo

for securing this important official,
Is there n better way7 Let us not

This question is one which n num-
Der Of states have answered success

ample at this time. As stated above.
there are two methods for which
there is prcccdcn, the nomination by
the Governor and election by the
Senate. and the appointment by \

The appointment Of the Superin-
tendent by n State Board is n method
employed with entire success by
number Of our most progressive
states. It's effectiveness depends. Of
course, upon the nature Of the Board
upon which the power Is conferred.
Our present Board would be unfit TO
exercise that power because il is en-
tirely ex-officio and the Superin,end-
ent himself Is a member. The first
step would necessarily be 10 provide
for Board so constituted as 10 be
fully worthy Of the high trust con
ferred upon Il. The best thought and
most successful experience along this
line would suggest the following
scheme:
I. That the Board be composed %
nine members serving nine years, to
be appointed each year by the Cover
nor.
.. That the Board be bipartisan,
n-professional. and appointed from
the State at large because OF special
fitness in character, ability. success
in life, and interest in public educa-

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE

in some form, the products Of the
dairy.
The farmer who has only one COW
and uses her milk for drinking or
for butter has dairy. But we usu-
ally think Of diaries as places where
cows are kept in stables and fed all
their feed in hangers and MIXED TO
supply a city population. However,
most Of the milk is produced on
farms and large part Of the butter
is made there also.
The use Of the cream separator
is increasing on the farms. BY this
machine the cream is separated from
the milk soon after It is brought in
from the COW, and only the cream
needs to be hauled TO the factory IL
the farmer is selling it.
The cream separator enables the
farmer to get more butter than by
any other method. In the handling
Of milk the most important thing is
cleanliness. There is probably no
other food harder to keep clean than
milk. The dirt which we eat in milk
and butter would astonish us IL we
could see it separated. Good pure
sweet milk is essential both for health
and profit on the market.
Bad favors and bad odors in milk
are caused by the cows eating i'm
proper food and drinking impure
water and by careless handling Of
the milk.
The butter that milk will produce
comes from the butter fat that II
contains. 1t is therefore important
that the milk from each COW tests
well in butter fat as well as be album
dant in quantity.
In general no COW is paying her
board bill whose milk tests much less
than go Of butter fat, neither is one
who gives less than 10 lbs Of milk
daily. Every farmer should own
cream separator in order to get the
amount Of cream and butter fat his
cow will produce and to ascertain
whether his cows are yielding the
highest percentage of butter fat.

HOME DUTIES ON THE FARM

HOME DUTIES ON THE FARM
A girl on the farm has many
duties, among some of them are
these: She should help her mother
all she can about the house work;
she can do many things about the
house even If she is in school, such
as washing dishes, making beds and
busting, and on Mondays she can
help about washing and ironing.
During the summer after school is
out she can help in the garden and
plant flowers and keep the lawn clean,
in this way making the home more
beautiful. A boy also has many du-
ties-he must help his father a great
deal. He can help by feeding the
horses, milking the cows, feeding the
hogs and sheep. A real smart boy
will get up in the morning in cold
weather and build the fires and do all
the chores while breakfast is being
prepared.
In the cold winter when the ground
is covered with snow a boy should
get up and clean a path to the barn,
spring, and where it is necessary and
see that there is always plenty of
wood or coal and water in, so that
his mother will not have to go out in
the cold. When there is church or
a social in the country boy should
escort his sister, if she wants to go,
and neither of her parents can go, or
If her father can't go, he should go
with his mother and sisters.
A boy should have more respect
for his sister than TO take her to
a social and then take another girl
home and leave his sister to come
home alone or with a crowd where
there is likely to be some pretty
rough ones along.
IT'S the duty Of every father and
mother to see that their children
obey them. They should teach them
to do some kind of work. They
should be taught to go to school and
get as much education as they can.
All girls should be taught how to
cook and sew and be real good house,
keepers.

POULTRY

To every farmer VINO is going u
start a flock Of poultry comes the
question. what breed is best adapted
to my locality and to me as a
farmer?
One Of the first things he should
do is to decide whether or not he is
going to have a pure bred flock.
Then the breed he can very easily
decide. If he wants poultry merely
for egg production, he should get
birds Of the Mediterranean type or
the Leghom or Minorca. II he
wants them chiefly for meat and SELL
ing purposes, he should get the Ash
attic type, the Brahmas, Coochins and
Langshans. If he wants them TO pro-
duce eggs and along occasionally have
chicken for dinner, he should get the
American type, the Plymouth Rocks
and Rhode Island Reds.
If he is to have an over large flock
of poultry for egg producers, he will
naturally choose the Mediterranean
type as they are not only good for
egg producers but hustlers and capa-
bic Of getting out of the way of
chicken-eating hogs.
But for the ordinary farmer as in
this community the American type
is best.
The Rhode Island Red comes near
er being the best all around breed
for the farmer than any other breed.
The standard of the Rhode Island
Reds was not adopted until 1901.
There are but two varieties of Reds,
the single comb and the rose CONT.
The Rhode Island breed was made
by the crossing of the Mediterranean
and Asiatic breeds.
What is the use Of keeping a flock
of birds like Joseph's coat? Some
farmers think if they have a small
flock of birds of all colors he is doing
the right thing, altho he believes and
realizes that it pays to have pure
bred cows, hogs, and sheep on his
that the same rule holds good with
the the same rule holds good with
poultry, and also that the benefits
are secured very quickly. If he has
pure bred poultry, there is always
a demand for his eggs and poultry
at a price three or four times higher
than that Of a flock Of Mongrel
birds.
There are two classified groups of
poultry. The productive and the or
namental breeds. The productive
breed is that one which is proving
themselves efficient manufacturers of
human food that it is profitable to
breed them for that purpose.
The ornamental or non-productive
breeds are those which are inefficient
as food producers but are bred more
or less because Of their general at
tractiveness or because Of some pc
culiarity.
STANDARD Breed" or a "pure bred"
In poultry Technology, pure bred as
used in reference TO farm animals
is, technically, at least, replaced by
standard bred.
The term pure-bred implies that
complete record Of the ancestry OF
the individual considered may be
traced back without the mixture Of
alien blood
Standard bred implies to the birds
which have been mated with other
birds Of their same description and
there never was any cross breeding.
No one can become a successful
breeder Of poultry-or anything else
unless he is an enthusiast.
One thing that would like TO see
at Scaffold Cane is all the people
standardire on one breed Of poultry.
II would be making our community
come forward with more and greater
force.
