PASSENGER FARES REDUCED

Passenger fares throughout the
country will be reduced by eight per
cent January 1, as a result Of the
elimination of the war tax. The cut
is the first basic change in passenger
tariffs since August 25, 1920. The
war tax was eliminated under the
new tax bill passed just before con-
gress adjourned.
While the cut is not large it is
general and applies on railroad pas
senger tickets of every description in
the United States. 1t is also intimat-
ed that many of the railroads favor
making an additional reduction in
passenger rates, possibly knocking
off six-tenths of cent a mile.

ant factor in keeping up the yields

That the abundant use of these
materials as bedding does not reduce
the value of the manure produced is
shown by the fact that ton of straw
contains as much nitrogen, nearly
as much PHOSPHORUS and more than
twice as much potash as a ton of
manure. Slower is even richer, con-
tanning one and three-fourths times
AS much nitrogen and twice as much
potash as manure. Stems of legumes
such as clover and sOybeans which
sometimes go back into the manure
contain four times as much nitrogen,
two to three times rs much phos-
phorous and about four times as
much potash as manure. Similar
7things are true in regard to the high
manurial value of residues of these
various crops left in the field at
harvest time.
Using commercial fertilizer valua-
lions for plant food a ton of corn
slower contains a little more than
$500 worth of plant food, a ton of
clover more than $500 worth. ton
of straw almost $500 and ton of

important in keeping up the fertili-
ty of the farm to conserve these
residues rather than burn them in
the field or otherwise allow them to
go to waste. and lose all of the
organic matter together with most
OF the nitrogen which they contain,
according to Mr.. Stephenson. When
everything is plowed under the
smallest loss in plant food takes
place and much needed organic mat
ter is added to the soil.

Farmers Stop Guessing On Best Corr
Varieties


Farmers in Fulton, Carlisle,
Graves, Ballard and McCracken coun-
ties who co-operated with their coun-
ty agents and the extension division
of the College of Agriculture during
the past year In conducting corn
variety tests have eliminated much
of the guessing which usually ac-
companies the selection of the best
variety of corn for a given section.
according to a report of Ralph Ken
ney, crops extension specialist from
the college. The tests will be con-
tinued for several years in an effort
to determine definitely which varie-
ties are best suited to different sec
lions Of Kentucky .,-..,- .-.
In the Fl variety tests which the
farmers conducted this year, Pride
of S,line yielded an average of .4O.S
bushels an acre, Boone County White
an average of S7.S bushels an acre,
Reid's Yellow Dent an average of
$40 bushels an acre, Iowa Silver
mine an average of 1928 bushels an
acre and Hickory King an average of
20 bushels an acre. These yields
constitute the ones given in the first
reports received from 81 counties in
which variety tests were conducted
during the past summer. In most
tests several local varieties were in
cluded in the work and in several
cases gave higher yields than any of
the five varieties listed.

Special care is necessary at this
time of the year to avoid losses
through overheating and subsequently
chilling hogs being sent to the mar
ket, according to marketing special
lists at the College of Agriculture.
There is serious danger. that animals
which are overloaded while being
loaded will become chilled on their
way to market with the result that
they catch cold and sell at disad-
vantage, the specialists say. Care
less loading, hard driving and mis-
treatment OF the animals must be
guarded against carefully, they say.

Meat Curing Success Involves No
- > Secrets > va "a


Curing meat on the farm involve
no great secret and can be done sue
cessfully if a few general principle
are observed. according to ANNA
husbandrymen at the College of Ag
riculture. Thoroughly cooling thu
pork to remove all animal heat be
fore the curing starts and trimming
off all ragged edges and corners be-
fore the meat is placed in the cur.
ing solution are the important points
to be taken into consideration. Cur
ing by the sugar method is recon-.
mended by the specialists as one OF
the best for Kentucky.
After the meat has been thorough
ly cooled for at least "a hours il
SHOULD be left in salt for from Is to
20 curing days If it is to be preserv-
ed by this method. Curing days are
those On which the meat will take
salt, this condition not being true in
freezing weather. After the meat
has been removed from the vat or
bin it should be washed in lukewarm
water to remove the outer coating
of excess salt. At the end of -
hours the excess salt and water
should have dripped from the pork
after, which the meat may be smok-
ed until it attains an amber brown
color.
The mixture for sugar curing is
made by preparing thick mixture
of molasses and pepper, one-fifth of
which is red pepper. No certain
amount Of either ingredient is pre-
scribed but enough should be used to
make a thick, pasty substance. This
should be spread over the meat
which then should be wrapped in
parchment paper followed by muslin
and hung in dry place where the
is fairly uniform and
meat protected from flies. If no
parchment paper is available news
papers dipped in lard or grease will
serve the purpose.

There were two subjects Of which
Mr.. Lincoln had little understanding.
They were women and finance. Until
they had rightly appraised the value
OF his friendship. women had been
wont to reghr. him with RANT curl

for years had avoided women, save
those Of old acquaintance. When he
lived at the tavern In the village, often
he had gone without meal rather
than expose himself to the eyes Of
strange women. The reason for this
was well understood by those who knew
him. TIE young man was an exceed

he will until some big Issue comes

hunting SQUIRRELS he said to me the
other day. Wait tillI see bear The
people OF vandalin and Springfield
have never seen him yet. They don't
know him as do. But they all re-
spect hlni--just for his good-fellow-
ship, honesty and decency. guess
that every Yellow with a foul mouth
hates himself for It and envies the
man who Isn't like him. They begin
to see his skill as politician, which
has shown itself In the passage OF q
bill removing the capital to Spring
field. Abe Lincoln was the man who
put It through. But he has not yet un-
covered his best talents. Mark my
word, some day Lincoln will be big
man.
"The death Of his sweetheart has
aged and sobered him. When we are
together he often sits looking down
with sad face. For while not a
word out of him. Suddenly he will
begin saying things, the effect Of
which will go with me to my grave,
although / cannot call back the words
and place them as he did. he is what
! would call a great captain of words.
Seems as II l heard the band playing
while they marched by me as well
dressed and stepping as proud and
regular as the Boston Guards. In
some great battle between Right and
Wrong you will hear from him. l
hope 1t may be the battle between
Slavery and Freedom, although at
present he thinks they must avoid
coming to clinch. In my opinion II
cannot be done. expect to live to
see the fight and to take part in It."
Late In the session Of 1836-1SS7 the
prophetic truth of these words began
to reveal itself. A bill was being put
through the legislature denounclng the
growth of abolition sentiment and Its
activity in organized societies and up
holding the right of property In slaves.
Suddenly Lincoln had come to fork
in the road. Popularity, the urge Of
many friends. the counsel Of wealth
and power, and public opinion, the call
Of good politics pointed In one direc-
tion aud the crowd went that way. 1t
was q stampede. Lincoln stood alone
at the corner. The crowd beckoned,
but In vain. One man came back and
Joined him. 1t was Dan Stone, who
was not q candidate fer reelection.
His political career was ended. There
were three words on the sign-board
pointing toward the perilous and lone
ly road that Lincoln proposed to fol-
low. They were the words Justice and
Human Rights. Lincoln and Dan
Stone took that road In protest, de-
claring that they believed the institu-
tion of slavery was founded upon In
justice and bad policy" Lincoln had
followed his conscience. instead Of the
crowd.
At twenty-eight years of age he had
safely passed the great danger point
Ia his career. The declaration at De
cntur. the speeches against Douglas
the miracle of turning 100000 beasts
into 100000 men, the sublime utter
ance at Gettysburg. the wise parallels
the second inaugural, the innumerablt
acts Of mercy, all Of which lifted hin
into undying fame, were now possible
Heneeforth he was to go forward witt
the growing approval Of his own spirit
and the favor OF God.
