KENTUCKY DAIRY INDUSTRY
EXPERIENCES RAPID GROWTH

Lexington, KY, Aug. Rapid
growth and material development has
been experienced by Kentucky's dali
ry industry during the past year thru
the cooperation of farms, county
farm agents and the Extension Divi-
sion Of the College of Agriculture, ac-
cording to a report just made by E.
NJ. Prewitt, dairy extension special
list from the College. The State now
has five cOw-testing associations with
a membership of 80 farmers who are
owners of 1913 cows; three coopera-
tive purebred bull associations hav-
ing a total of 144 members who are
owners of $50 cows, and five county
boys and girls calf clubs having a
total membership Of Ill farm young
sters, according to the report.
Additional projects started by Mr.
Prewitt in cooperation with the farm
ers but which have not been complet-
ed include purebred bull associations
for Washington, Fayette and Taylor
counties, a calf club for Carroll coun-
ty and a drive in Todd county to
eliminate all scrub dairy sires.

ISAAC WALTON'S OLD
HOME IN NEAR RUINS

London, July 3O.-Here Is dole
ful business that should stir the sym
pathy of all good anglers. Isaak
Walton's matched cottage at Shallow
ford Staffs is in danger of tumbling
down. The thatch is so far gone that
il needs complete replacem ent, and
even the roof timbers are unsafe
These facts are gathered from an Of
ficial statement made to the Stafford
shire Education Authority, which has
come into possession of the cottage
as part - the foundation of Stafford
Grammer School. Perhaps the most
nUurnful point is that the education
committee does not feel just tel in
view of The need for economy, in
spending the money that woulI be re-
CURED 20 put the cottage in repair
Thus" says a famous angler,
unless anglers come to the rescue,
I,aac's cottage is likely to collapse
q IS suggested that some angling
body should take the matter up We
may be poor in these days, but we
are not so poor that we can afford to
let such a relic of one of our greatest
fishermen-and therefore one of our
greatest men-vanish.
at is thought that an appeal by
our leading anglers, made to every
angling association in the country
would at once bring in the money.
Let it be done"

KENTUCKY FARMERS
REAP RICH HARVEST.
Revenue from Breeding Thorough
bred Horses Only Profit to Be
Depended Upon.
Sale of Blooded Colts Produces
Money When Other Products
Bring Loss.

The Kentucky farmer has lost
money on his wheat and corn; he is
forced to ship his cattle and hogs to
a losing and constantly falling mar
ket; and his losses on his tobacco
have nearly driven him into bank
ruptcy. The calamities Of troubled
world are placed upon his back, al
ready bent double by its burdens.
Under these untOward conditions.
the one fortunate exception among
farmers is the stock raiser who owns
one or more thoroughbred mares. He
always finds a nationwide demand for
his thoroughbred foals. The weanling
at it's mothers side frequently brings
him $500 to $1,000, while the yearling
will sell for from 81 800 to $4,000;
a colt from a Jefferson county farm
having brought, at one Of the recent
Saratoga sales $4,000.
Year in and year out, the Kentucky
thoroughbred finds ready market;
buyers from all over the wr0ld coming

his native hearth. there to perpetuate
his great qualities. Last month, Man

name, was sold for $4,000; and not

Wheat, corn and tobacco are often crop
failures, and cattle and hogs are
frequently raised at a loss. But the
thoroughbred has a great permanent
value, for nowhere else in this country
is he brought to such perfection as IN
Kentucky, and his fame and the de-
nand for him are worldwide.

THE OWNING ROD.

The idea of "divining rod" or some
other instrument that may be used
as a means of finding buried treasure,
mineral deposits, and underground
oil or water is a superstition that con-
tinues with marvellous persistence in
spite of the lack of tangible results
from its employment.
II may be said without qualifica-
ton or exception that no rod or in
strument has yet been devised to find
buried treasures, nor any instrument
that will indicate the presence of gold
silver, copper, lead, zinc, or other
nonmagnetic metals, or their ores,
that are hidden from view under
ground.
Iron, nickel, and some minerals
that contain these metals are mag
netic, and the dip-needle or miners
compass has been adapted to use in
prospecting for these metals. Such
an instrument can be purchased, but
special training is required to enable
one to use it successfully. A volume
published by the U. S. Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, en-
titled Mineral Resources of the
United States, calendar year 1911"
Part /, pages 144 to 154 contains a
discussion of methods of prospecting
for iron ore by magnetic surveys and
by drills. Although the use OF the
dip needle is theoretically simple,
much practice is required to make ac-
curate observations with it, and after
these are made they must be inter
preted by the consideration of many
factors, so that the unskilled user is
likely to be disappointed in his re-
suits. The edition of the volume
above mentioned available for free
distribution is now out of stock at
the Geological Survey, but a copy
may be purchased from the Superin-
tendent of Documents Washington
D. c., for 80 cents
Gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc
are not magnetic, and no instrument
now in use will indicate the presence
of these metals or their ores If they
are hidden from view within the
ground. Devices that are supposed
to indicate the presence of concealed
nonmagnetic ore are usually offered
for sale either thru ignorance or with
intent to defraud. Some honest at
tempts have been made to prospect
for nonmagnetic ores by measuring in
different directions the capacity of
the ground to conduct an electric
current, the idea being that ground
containing metallic material will con-
duet the current better than that
which contains none. These attempts,
as well as trials with other electri-
cal devices, however have not been
successful, and the various forms of
such apparatus could not be used by

one unfamiliar with electrical work.
Some measurements of the electric
potential of metallic minerals were
made several years ago in the labora-
tory of the United States Geological
Survey by r. c. Wells and the re-
suits were published in the Surveys
Bulletin 54S, entitled Electric ac-
tivity in ore deposits" which may be
had for 10 cents from the Superinten-
dent of Documents. The results OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Wells, however, do not
afford an adequate basis for any
method of electrical prospecting, and
it is still doubtful whether electrical
methods of prospecting for nonmag-
netic ores will ever be useful, altho
they may have limited application in
searching for certain kinds of ores
Most deposits of the precious and
semiprecious metals and their ores
are discovered by those who, by ex-
perience, have becom familiar with
the kinds of rock in which the ores
are found and who use the ordinary
methods of prospecting.
No instrument other than the drill
has been devised that will indicate
the presence of water or oil under
ground. In determining the probable
existence of underground supplies of
these liquids biologists are guided by
their knowledge of the relation of
beds of rocks visible at the surface
to beds that contain oil or water at
other places in the same general re-
gion. They also make use of the
recognized relation of occurrences of
oil or water to certain structure
(folds, faults, etc. in the rocks,
and of surface indications, such as
oil seeps, springs, outflows of gas etc.
The United States Geological Survey
has published as Water-Supply Paper
416 a report by A. j. Ellis, entitled,
1.-The divining rod, history of water
witching," which shows the useless
ness of the instrument. This report
may be obtained from the Director OF

FINANCIAL.

The principal feature in the finan-
cial situation in the Eighth Federal
Reserve District during the past so
days has been the increased demand
for funds by the country for crop fl
nancing purposes. The harvest OF
winter wheat has been in full blast,
and the grain is beginning to move
in volume to the primary markets.
Generally the demand for GREATS
continues active, and rates charged
by the commercial banks show little
variation as contrasted with thirty
days ago. All legitimate demands
are being met, with excellent pro-
vision having been made for the rural
communities both by the large COM
mercial institutions and the Federal
Reserve Bank. Commercial borrow
ers in the larger centers have con-
siderably reduced their Indebtedness
and gradual liquidation of accounts
under extension is in progress. In
the tobacco and cotton districts the
status remains about as set forth in
the two preceding issues of this re-
port. Between June Is and July IA
the Federal Reserve note circulation
II this bank decreased 2,945,000,
and net deposits fell off $6,241, 900.
During the same period there was
decrease of approximately $735,00O
in the amount of accommodations
granted member banks by the Federal
Reserve Bank of st. Louis. The
solidity of basic credit conditions in
this district is indicated by the move
ment Of the combined reserve held
against deposit and Federal Reserve
note liabilities. Between June 10 and
July IA this ratio ranged from 1872
to 543, and on the latter date stood
at 52s1.
There has been little change in the
market for bankers acceptances in
this District during the last thirty
days. The volume of such bills
purchased by member banks has been
small, and few, if any, bills have
originated in this District. Scatter
ing purchases have been made by city
banks but the volume has been nomi-
nal and the market dull.
Depressed conditions which had
obtained in the commercial paper
market during the preceding several
months continued in a marked degree
during the past thirty days. Banks
- the large cities are taking virtual
ly nothing, and seasonal activity in ag-
riculture is engaging resources of
country institutions. An unusually
broad spread exists in rates, quota
lions ranging from 6A to IA per
cent, while ordinarily the maximum
and minimum are rarely separated
by more than half of one per cent.
Aside from a fairly brisk demand
for Federal State and Municipal OBJ
legations, quietness prevails in the
market. Bond houses, in
many instances. have cut down their
sales forces and otherwise entered up
on a period of retrenchment. Corpor-
alton bonds, unless offering excep-
tlQnal interest returns and safety, are

ORGANIZATIONS TO MAINTAIN
RURAL COMMUNITY BUILDINGS

To assist rural organizations in
working out ways of financing and
maintaining community buildings, the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture has just published Farmers Bull
letin 1892, The Organization of Ru-
raj Community Buildings. This is
the third of a series of bulletins on
rural community buildings, based on
an intimate study made by specialists
of the department of more than 200
such buildings in all parts of the
country. The first, Department Bull
letin S25, Rural Community Build
ings in the United States, gives a his
tory of the movement, treats of some
of the general principles involved, and
tells the story in detail of the erection
financing, management and use OF a
few representative types; the second,
Farmers Bulletin 1913, Plans of Ru-
raj Community Buildings, gives the
floor plans of 81 buildings of the bet
ter class, illustrating various types.
Methods of Financing.
1t is pointed out in the third bull
Actin that though community build

ways as individual donations, local
industry, well-established social or
fraternal organizations, by far the
greatest number are erected thru the
united effort of interested people and
Various organizations of the COM

pIoyed the necessary money is obtain
ed either by voluntary contributions
or by the sale of stock Subscriptions
are paid in the form of money, labor,
or materials.
Financing a building by general
voluntary contributions is suggested
as perhaps the simplest, quickest ana
most elastic way while Incorporated
stock associations furnish more Of

EXPLOSIVE AVAILABLE FOR
DISTRIBUTION TO FARMERS

Lexington, Ky, Aug, 1,-Approxi-
mately 10000 pounds of picric acid
Kentucky's allotment of a high ex-
plosive available from a War De-
partment surplus for distribution to
farmers who wish to use it in land
clearing work, will be distributed
thru the cooperation of the College
of Agriculture and the United States
Department Of Agriculture, according
to an announcement by Dean Thomas
p. Cooper, Of the college. The acid
is an explosive of approximately the
same strength as 40 per cent dyna-
mite and is safe to use and otherwise
suitable for lsnd-clearing work, ac-
cording to explosive experts who have
conducted tests with IT,
The cost of cartridging, distributing
and handling the material when it
is distributed in cooperation with the
college will be about seven cents a
pound. To this amount must be
added the freight charge which will
vary from one to six cents pound,
Applications for the material should
be made to the College-of Agriculture
at Lexington. Enough requests must
be received TO make up at least a
carload shipment before any of the
explosives can be delivered in Ken
lucky, Dean Cooper said.

OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
"HOIy Night" Regarded as One Of
Most Beautiful Songs.
"DraW Nigh, Emmanuel" One Of Old
est Pieces and Far Ante
dates Any Others.

II HE ancient Christmas carol, "HOly
4 Night" is German in its origin
and Is considered by many persons to
be the most beautiful Of all Christ
mas carols. 1t has sometimes been
ascribed to Martin Luther, but the
consensus Of expert opinion Is that it
is much older than his time and is one
Of the oldest of German folk songs.
The carol "God Rest Ye Merry,
Gentlemen" is English in its origin
and dates back to about the beginning
Of the Seventeenth century, although
the author Of the words and the COM
poser of the music are unknown. The
fine old melody sung to this poem pos
sesses all the best qualifications Of O
sterling hymn tune and viii probably
last as long as the verses With which
it is always associated.
The carol "Draw Nigh, Emmanuel"
is one Of the oldest pieces Of coherent
music in existence, and both the words
and music far antedate any Of the 9TH
ers. The music is an Old French mel
ody, dated from the Thirteenth CEN
fury, although, Of course, 1t has been
harmonized to conform with more
modern standards.
There is a most curious but beauti-
full musical effect at the close Of this
carol. The words Of DRAW Nigh, I'M
manuel" are about 100 years older
than the music, being taken from the
81 A..
fury, and 1t is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy Of
the early Christians at Toledo, Spain,
where the Mozarabic breyiary was for
muIated.
Another carol, "The First Noel"
has q traditional French melody and
probably originated In Breton, al.
though the exact origin Of this fine old
song Is somewhat in doubt.

LAKELAND RED CROSS
HOLDS CHAPTER MEETING
AT CITY HALL FRIDAY

A chapter meeting of the Lakeland
Red Cross was held Friday afternoon
at the City Han, the main item Of bus.
mess being the election of officers for
the coming year, the following being
chosen:
Chairman-Dr. j. TEsWilson.
Vice. Chairman-Wilfiam Steitz.
Secretary-T. II. Getzen.
Treasurer-E. N. Good.
Mrs. Atkinson and Miss Chamber
lain of the division headquarters were
present and gave an Interesting talk
on the value of the Red Cross in
times of peace as well as of war,
stressing it's importance to the com
munity locally, and suggesting plans
for a campaign for funds which will
start soon. They also outlined the
work which the Red Cross Chapter ia
expected to do in caring for the need
of the eX-service men, in general re-
lief work, there being no associated
charities organization in the city, and
in the public health crusade.
But for the timely assistance of the
division headquarters, the Lakeland
Red Cross would have had to close
its doors some months ago, and it is
hoped by those who, have the work
in charge that the public conscience
of the city may now be aroused and
that Lakeland will take her place
squarely behind the Red Cross, giving
to the work the support that will
make it real blessing to the city and
community.
The retiring officers. headed by
William NJ. Gober. have given earnest
thought and much time to the work,
and it is a pleasure to note that the
work has been passed on to worthy
successors. DR.. Wilson. Capt. Steitz
and Mr.. Getzen are all ex-seryice
men and bring to the work a hearty
appreciation of the Red Cross. e. N.
