Her prompt reply that she was go

His thoughts seemed always to re-

habit Of making small pencil drawings

letters carefully shaded. They showed
that he was interested in what was

Those who knew him could easily tell

AVOID DIPPHTHERIA

Because the number Of deaths
from diDhtheria in Kentucky has al
most doubled in the last three years,
and doubled needlessly. according TO
Dr. A. r Mccormack. state health
officer. the State Board Of Health al
ready is starting a campaign which
has as its sole object the lowering Of
the number Of fatalities next winter
from this disease.
There were 1852 deaths from diph-

42S and last year jumped again TO 644
These deaths. DIR. Mccormack says,
every one should have been prevent
ed II antitoxin in sufficient quantities
had ben administered early enough
IN the history OF each case.
Steps being taken by the board
now TO lower the death from diph-
iberia this winter include the calling
10 all doctors attention the fact that
the board has available all the anti
toxin needed, emphasizing the neces
sity Of using this sntitoxin before the
disease has taken too firm a hold on
its victim, and advocacy Of the use
OF the schiek test in schools where
thre has been a case OF diphtheria.

MANY HENS ARE RETIRED
AS cULliNc PROGRESSES

with the annual fall poultry cull
ing campaign in full swing 10 prsc-
tically every section Of Kentucky
thousands Of hens are losing their
places in the farm nOcks OF the
state. according TO reports being re-
eeived daily by the extension diVis-
ion of the College Of Agriculture
from farmers in different counties
Results being obtained in culling
demonstrations conducted by county
agricultural agents and poultry spe-
cialists from the college indicate
that practically every flock in the
state has its quota Of low-producing
hens that have stopped laying to loaf
until spring.
Paul Harrison. Grant county far
mer, living near Mason, whose flock
was cuIled as a demonstration. has
reported that ten hens removed from
his mixed flock of SIS produced only
two eggs during the week after Gull
ing. In addition, the egg production
of the f5ock in this case was increas-
ed from 1e3 eggs during the week
before culling to 225 eggs during the
week Immediately after the culling.
The increased egg production was at
tributed to the fact that the 45 hens
remaining in the flock after culling
were allowed to utilize the feed
which originally had been consumed
by the ten loafers.
Eight culls removd from the flock
of Mrs S. C. Henderson, who lives
near Paint Lick Gsrrard county, pro-
duced only three eggs during the
week after culIing, she reported to
the college extension division. Dur
ing the week before culIing the A
hens in the flock produced a total
of 11s eggs, while the Ss hens kept
as layers produced a total of 113I
during the week after culling.
Results equally as striking have
been reported by Tilden Lawrence.
who lives near Corinth, Grant county
Seventeen hens removed from this
flock Of 50 because they showed
characteristic signs of being loafers
failed to produce a single egg during
the week after culling. Allowing the
good hens to utilize the feed which
originally had gone to the loafers al
so had a marked effect in this case.
During the week before culling, the
flock produced a total of 1872 eggs.
while the IL hens retained as layers
produced a total of 1S4 during the
week after culhng.

HORSE WORK MORE COSTLY
THEN THAT OF HIRED HAM

Horses On Kentucky farms work
50 little during the year that the cost
u a days work Of a two-borse team
is more than the cost Of days
~ork done BY hired hand. accord
ing TO W. d. NicbOlls heads Of the
farm economies department Of the
College Of Agriculture Dspite this
fact. the average farmer does not
gOrry as much about the high cost
Of horse labor a. be does about the
high wages 70 the hired help on the
farm, be pointed out in showing bow
many farmers are overlooking leak
- the management Of their business
-On an average. Kentucky farmers
probably get less than ! 1000 hours OF
work out Of each horse in a year.
This is less than 100 days Of ten
bOurs each. Some farmers get an
average Of less than IS days work
cut Of their horses or less than two
and ODe-hsIf hours q day for each
work horse Studies made iD the
state show that the best organized
and managed farms get twice this
average and thereby cut the cost Of
their team labor in two.
Turning the work stock out on
pasture with light feed when the
animals are not doing hard work is
one means Of reducing the high cost
Of horse labor. Good farmers strive
20 carry work stock through the late
fan and winter as chesply as posi-
bic on sorghum and corn fodder and
little grain. saving the good hay
for the time when teams are work
ing hard and breaking land and col
tiysting crops. These same farmers
r-ake il a rule 10 feed only enough
10 meet actual needs Of teams.
Other methods Of reducing the
cost OF horse labor might be outlined
az follows:
Keeping large brood mares that
raise mules or draft colts and are
worked during seasons when extra
work stock is required.
Breaking as much ground for corn
and oats as Is possible during the
winter and early spring. This pre-
vents a rush Of team work late In
the season when the weather is hot
and the ground hard and dried out
However. care must be taken not 10
practice winter breaking on land
which is so sloping as TO be subject
10 washing.
Hiring extra teams during the
temporary rush periods. This prac-
tice. when possible. is much cheap
or than paying the expenses OF an
idle team throughout most Of the
year"
