WITH OUR READERS
Visitors From Breckenridge.

Mr.. Babbage: Mr.. S. T. Smith and
Mr.. Jim Bob Mattingly paid me
visit just recently | took them out to
examine several dairy herds. When
we visited the herd of Roscoe Brasel
and when they examined the second
highest herd of cattle in all the testing
associations in the whole state of Illi-
nois, and by the way they beat lasts
months record by three pounds, last
week, averaging $500 pounds of but
ter fat per month, per COW and the
herd includes two heifers, this equals
an average butter production of e.
pounds in 30 days per COW on long
test. All of these cows had udders
as big as a wash tub and it looked
like that some of them would burst
Mr. Smith l thought would hurt his
eyes, he looked and looked and SEEM
ed as though he was trying to see
where all that milk could come from.
We talked and priced and at the wind
up these progressive Kentuckians
were the owners of bull calf out of
Mr. Basels champion cows.
The next place visited was Mr..
Alvin Luttrels Luttrel has fine herd
and splendid bred heifer was bought
there On the road Mr.. Smiths Ken
tuckian eye, after finding a quail that
| had pronounced unfndable, discov-
cred some fine heifers on the road
side, we almost traded with the man,
but after seeing his wife ian Illinois
habit, as in Kentucky your wife sees
little ladies go. We drove the remain
der of the day examining herds of
pure bred Holsteins and Jerseys.
The next morning we visited the
Dam of Joe Harth's bull calf, and
Mr. Smith seemed surprised, saying,
81 just wish people down home could
see this calls sire and dam together"
Two heifers bred to Elnordale Pieje
Paula King were bought of Mr.. Bill
iler. Mr.. Mattingly thereby introduc-
ing two of the best strains of Hol-
stems in southern Illinois into his
herd. The Billier strain and the Brasel
strain and sending to Kentucky two
of the best Holstein bulls that ever
crossed the Ohio river for breeding
purposes. We have now in Breckin-
ridge heifers from as good dams as
live. The Holstein Tristan World says
Joe Harth's bull is a corker The Uni
versity of Kentucky and Illinois say
so and Brasels herd was second in
the state last month and beat the re-
cord last week 1t is my prediction
that these heifers if we'll taken care
of will long be source of pride and
profit to Mr.. Mattingly and the fol-
lowing generations of Mattingly's
who follow in their fathers energetic
footsteps. Respectfully,

EVERYBODY SEES A
CHANGE in FATHER
Grateful Son Says His Father
Looks Like Different Man
Since Taking Tanlac.

"My Father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for over
twenty years and has paid out thous-
ands of dollars for medicines and
DOCTORS" said G.. w. Slayton, a we'll
known Cobb county farmer, living a
short distance out of Atlanta Ga.
1--WE tried nearly everything try
ing to cure him and he went off to the
Springs, thinking maybe the water
might help him but it Just looked like
nothing would reach his trouble. Then
he tried dieting and lived on liquid
food until he almost starved, but even
that failed to do him any good and he
just kept going from bad to worse.
IL don't guess there was a case as
stubborn as his and il there ever was
a confirmed dyspeptic, he was one OF
them and | guess he would have been
yet il it hadn't been for this Tanlac.
The first we heard of this medicine
was when my Father saw an adver-
tisement in the papers from parties
he knew in Tennessee, who we're
friends of his and he knew what they
said about it was the truth so he got
it right away and began taking it
Well, sir, it acted just like magic
everybody notices the change in Fa-
Their. Why he is just like different
man and sits down to the table and
eats like farmland. Only yesterday
he ate pork and turnips for his din
ner and ate so much we were actual
ly afraid he was going to override the
thing but he laughed and said moth
ing hurt him now that he was hun
cry and expected to eat and make up
for lost time
Now when a medicine will do
things like that | think people ought
to know about it and | want to say
righe now that / would not give one
bottle of Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts in the
country put together"

largely upon the mares selected for
breeding and the care selected in rear
ing colts. They will belong to tn,
breeder-the Government will have
no strings on them. The owner will
be privileged to sell them to whomso-
ever he pleases at any time. They
will be horses admirably adapted to
work in both peace and war times.
"But the Government will depend
upon them for its supply; and the i'm
portance Of the horse to the modern
army is to be fully realized by the
comparison of figures already cited
pertaining to the use of the horse in
the last great war with those Of his
nse during the Civil War.
"As regards thoroughbred horses
racing, every practical horseman
knows that it is, first and fol emost,
vitality necessary in order to test the
quality of individual! horses-it is the
final acid test that goes to measure
their value for breeding purposes,
and is thus decisively instrumental in
the work Of preserving and improving
the thoroughbred horse .as the race up
on which, depends the preservation
and improvement of all our other kinds
Of horses and mule mares.
Meanwhile, the evolution of thor
Oughbred horse racing has given the
world great out-ofdoOr sport-one

popularity, and which, wherever prop
er;y conducted, is assuredly healthful
and innocuous, insofar, at least, al
concerns its effects OH the great ma
jority of nOrmal-minded citizens.
"The State Of Kentucky is immense
ly the richer for her industry of breed
ing thoroughbred horses and its con-
cQmmitant seasons of racing. Millions
and millions of dollars are invested Ia
property throughout the state as a re-
sult-nOr is this taxable wealth con-
fined to the holdings Of millionaire en-
thusiasts whose establishments ara
located in the Bluegrass District, by
any means.
"Many a Kentucky farmer is also
breeder of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
often the male of colt or FLY meta
him more than the products of a sea-
sons work on the farm.
Undoubtedly the sport of racing
thoroughbred horses is a tremendous
business asset to the state. Facts such
as, l daresay, the Kentucky Jockey
Club readily can adduce in this con-
nectiOn very well might astound Ken
tuckians who have never considered
the subject IN its substantial and ma
terial aspects"

pay $40 or $50 for registered pure
bred.
Such an indiscriminate system OF
selecting breeding rams will certainly
not help in building up the sheep in
dustry of the State. Every breeder
should use his influence to guard a.
gainst the use of scrub rams.
The survey also shows that sheep
are most numerous in the Blue Grass
section of the state. 1t is customary
for the ordinary farmer to think that
sheep would not be profitable on high
class land, yet Bourbon, Harrison,
Owen, Fayette and Clark counties in
the heart OF the Blue Grass are the
leading sheep counties in the State.
Blue Grass farmers find that sheep are
almost a necessity in any system of
general farming in that section. One
man told me 81 consider my farm
flock of ewes absolutely indispensable
to successful farming; they help in
getting new stand of grass and keep
ing down the weeds in the blue grass
| consider this worth far more than
the feed | give them when the ground
is covered with snow. | consider the
lCNCiNCu anu WOOl
as clear profit"
While this would not be called a
typical case, it is an indication as to
what results can be obtained from
keeping sheep on Kentucky farms. A
very small percentage of the farmers
in Kentucky have sheep, and the parts
of the state that need them most have
the least Personally cannot see
how any Kentucky farmer can expect
to realize the greatest income from
his farm operations without maintain
ing a farm flock. These can be kept
at little cost, they will keep down the
weeds and utilize rough feeds that
would otherwise go to waste. / would
advise the farmer starting with a
flock, to buy anywhere from Is to 25
good ewes and breed these to pure
bred mutton ram of quality. Either
good Hampshire or Southdown
grade or Western or Mountain Ewes
if they can be had, would be suitable
for starting a flock. These should be
bred to a good pure bred mutton ram
such as Hampshire or Southdown.
| find that many Western Kentucky
farmers have long wool grades. As a
rule these sheep are not so profitable
as they should be. l suggest that the
farmer who has long wool grades
and wishes to breed up his flock, buy
a Rairbouillet ram. This would give
him a cross for mis- foundation flock,
then he could in turn breed these
Rambouilet grades to good pure
bred mutton ram which would pro-
duce good marker lambs.
After having been in touch with the
sheep industry throughout the United
States and Canada, where | had an
opportunity to get first hand inform
alton, | do not hesitate to say and
believe that Kentucky offers greater
for profitable farm
flocks than any other state in this
country. Instead of million sheep
we should have three million and in
stead of the industry being confined
to the Blue Grass section it should
be state wide.
The breeder sale at the Bourbon
Stock Yards, August 18th, will give
the sheep men an opportunity to get
solie good rams.

SURVEY OF SHEEP
INDUSTRY IN KY.
Prof Miller, u. of K. c. of
Agriculture Appeals to KY.
\ Farmers to Raise More
Sheep.

Kentucky farmers are asleep to the
advantages of raising sheep both in
4 9 financial way and as help to the
farming land itself according to Prop.
Richard c. Miller, Sheep Extension
Specialist of the University of Ken
lucky College of Agriculture in an
address for the Louisville Live Stock
Exchange in connection with the pure
bred livestock campaign being con-
Quoted by the Exchange and the Ken
lucky Purebred Livestock Associa-
ton.
Emphasis on the possibilities of
sheep raising developed coincidentally
I with Prof Miller's talk when the price
10 lamb jumped so cents per hundred
Ehe Bourbon Stock Yards with a
rowing demand from the eastern
consumers and a slow movement of
lambs to the market.
Prot Miller in his talk declared
that the use of grade and scrub rams
at the head of IS per cent of the aocks
Z of the State meant loss annually of
$c,OO0,OoO to the industry. A complete
survey of the State by Prof. Miller
shows that out of more than ST. ,O0O,-
900 sheep in the State fewer than
1000 are registered purebred.
Reluctance of the farmer to invest
$40 to $50 for registered ram is
blamed for this situation. the price
of his lack of vision being inferior
animals with an invariable loss Ten
dency of the farmer to rush into the
sheep industry when prices are nigh
and then to pull out when there is a
slump also for the variable size and
quality OF flocks.
Prof Miller's address follows:
Two years ago, Kentucky farmers
were buying sheep at fancy prices,
paying fifteen to twenty and even
twenty-five dollars in some cases for
ordinary breeding ewes. Today these
farmers are sacrificing their focks at
less than one-half what they paid for
them, l am not surprised at this at
|de on the part of the Kentucky
f4fmer because experience has shown

An Interview With Col. H. c. White
head, Remount Service, U. S. A.

Despite our present-day motor
driven vehicles and trench warfare,
the ratio Of horses to men for the Al.
lies was as one to four against one
horse to each 81 men during our own
Civil War. And had the former con-
fict lasted q few weeks longer, the
shortage OF horses would have been
woefully acute. The broad plans Of
the American Remount Association
for selective breeding are, therefore,
an Important link In our chain of ma
tional defense"

Powell was arrested on June 81 last
on a charge Of contributing to the de-

Court DiSmisses
Old Tiger Charges

Blind tiger charges pending almost a
year against Nathan Bowman, 1858 Ash
land avenue, We're dismissed in city
court today. Bowman testified that he
had rented his barn to Sam and Louis
Barnett and that the five gallons of
white mule" whisky found in the barn
and the half gallon of the same kind of
liquor found in his automobile. We're not
his and probably was owned by one of
the Barnetts
It was brought out in the trial that
Bowman had been bound over to the
Federal grand jury, following his arrest,
but that the grand jury had not indicted
him, but had indicted Barnett, who was
later convicted and sentenced Judge
Pritchard declared there was no ques-
ton but that the Federal grand jury
had properly investigated the charges
against Bowman and said that If the
grand jury failed to indict him there was
not enough evidence for the Judge Of
the city court to convict him. The grand
jury had ordered Bowman's automobile
returned to him.
