QUAKE KILLS FIVE
IN PHILIPPINES

Manila, P. l., March Five per-
sons were killed and many injured by
a severe earthquake that shook the
city of Cebu and vicinity yesterday.
The property damage was heavy.
Advices from Cebu said the con-
crete walls and corrugated iron roofs
of number of buildings were shak-
en- down. Among the structures bad
ly damaged were the palace of the
Catholic bishop and the Catholic con-
vent Of Recoletos. 1t is believed most
of the deaths were in the convent and
that the dead were all natives.
The city of Cebu, situated In the
province of Cebu, has population Of
about $4,000. 1t is the principal
hemp shipping point in the Philip

LIST.
The 1920 census shows that one
acre of red clover Is grown to every
1870 acres of improved Kentucky
land, or about two-flfths Of an acre
a farm. More than twice this acre
age is sown with timothy but all to-
gether there is an average of only a
little more than one acre for each
farm.
Counties such as Christian and
Warren, where limestone has been
used, rank among the leading ones
in clover acreage. In contrast to
clover alone, a large part of the
clover and timothy mixed is found
in the Bluegrass.
In most cases, timothy and clover
seeded together will give better re-
suits than clover alone. On land
that has not been lined, it often hap
pens that the mixture will prove, to
be mostly timothy. Where limestone
has been used, the reverse will like

Red clover will not prove a sue

farmer who wastes his seed for two
by sowing without limestone
has wasted enough to pay for an APP

average, however, 1t will not be
practical to lime more than ten per

Farmers who do not wish to lime

Unknown Disease Kills Many Ewes
In kentucky


For the third consecutive season,
an unusual condition again is de-
veloping among sheep in the State
and causing the death Of from six
to eight per cent of the animals in
different flocks, according to a re-
port from the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station where studies
are being made to determine the ma
ture of the trouble and the best
methods of controlling it. Observa-
tions made indicate that the condi-
tion occurs during February and
March and is confined to ewes in ad-
vanced pregnancy. 1t is said to be
fatal to practically 100 per cent of
the animals that become sick.
Early symptoms of the disease are
sluggishness and a tendency to lie
down. Infected animals get up with
difficulty, walk with staggering
gait and often with the head held
to one side. AS the disease advances
muscular twitching may set in and
the animal stands with its head
pressed against some object. Ami
mails showing symptoms of the dis
ease grit their teeth, gradually lose
their appetite, become blind and
breathe laboriously. TIE tempera-
ture remains normal. Before death,
the animals become PROSTATE and
move their feet while lying on their
sides.
While a number of investigations
have been made on the disease, vet
erinarians at the station have been
unable to find Infectious organisms
connected with it, attempts to trans
NIT the disease to other sheep have
been unsuccessful and no growth has
been recorded on culture media in
noculated from the blood and it's
sues of sick animals. In several
cases, sick sheep were given an in
lection of Botulinus antitoxin In an
effort to determine the relation OF
the disease to forage poisoning but
in no case has the animal been bene-
fitted by the injection.
Preventive measures being recon-
mended by the station veterinarians
suggest that pregnant ewes be given
good care with as much variety of
feed stuff as possible and that laxa-
tives, such as salts or oil. be used
freely. Exercise for the animals all
so is recommended.

Kary Flowing Helps Increase Crop
Yields

Possibilities of increased crop
yields by means of easily planting
are being pointed out to Kentucky
farmers by soils specialists at the
College of Agriculture as one OF the
greatest advantages Of blowing Just
as soon as the soil is in condition to
work. Other advantages which they
are citing are the conservation OF
moisture and the destruction OF
weeds.
Early planting, especially in the
case Of corn, gives larger yields,
when other conditions are equa. and
better quality of grain. The differ
eace Of one month in the date of
planting sometimes makes a differ
ence OF SO per cent in the yield the
SPECIALISTS say. Soil that is plowed
early also loses less moisture by
evaporation ince the plowed surface
ariS as mulch to protect the lower
soil In addition, the plowed ground
ahsorts more rainfall than a hard
surface which permits the water to
run on rapidly. Early tillage, which
Is made possible by early blowing,
terminates many weed seeds than
can be destroyed before the crop is
seeded thereby making future culti-
rations of the crop easier.

CHATTANOOGA AND
ITS BATTLEFIELDS

Surrounded by more battlefields
within a radius of 20 miles than any
other city of modern history, Chatta-
nooga nestles in valley between two
historic mountains, Lookout and
Missionary Ridge and on the bank of
the noted Tennessee river, with up
to-date municipal laws, modern sky
scraper buildings, manufactures,
wholesale and retail business houses
with all modern conveniences. Build
ed on battlefield of the war between
the States, 1S61-65 she stands one
of the most noted cities in history.
Lookout is the Queen Of mountains,
and landmark for generations to
come. The attractions are more
numerous than any place in the Unit
ed States, and equal to any in the
world.
In the early settlement of the
States of North Carolina and Virginia,
(west part) and the eastern part of
Tennessee the Indians had possession
of middle Tennessee and Kentucky
including the territory of the vicinity
of Chattanooga. The newly settled
parts Of North Carolina, Virginia and
East Tennessee had no outlet to the
worlds markets, except down the
French Broad, Holston, Tennessee,
Ohio, Mississippi and to New Orleans,
La. They built boats, hewing out the
gunwales and girders. and saving the
lumber by hand with the old whip
saws (the forerunners of our present
day band saws. and will Just say
that the teeth, or cutting part of the
hand saw of to-day is an exact coun-
terpart of the ancient whip-saw) the
bottoms of the boats was put on the
boat near the waters edge and then
the boat was launched and of course
was upside down and had to be turn
ed over. This was done by drawing
the boat near the shore and piling
sand along the edge Of the boat in
the form of bulkhead. When suffi-
cient sand had been put on, the boat
was pushed out into deep water, a
trench cut1n the bulkhead of sand for
the water to run in, then the loaded
side of the boat would sink, raising
the other side out of the water and
causing 1t to fall over on the water
with the right side OF the boat up
then they would proceed to side up
and cover the structure making a
very safe vessel for the products to
be marketed in the far away south.
The cargos usually consisted of tobac
co, poultry, bacon and hoop poles. II
has been said that they also carried
pumpkins to market in the boats
Now these boats well loaded were fit
up with long sweeps with which to
steer and row them down the long
journey to market. which took the
greater part of the year to go and
return.

Chattanooga were not long in learu-
Ing that these boats were richly lad

Poultrymen at the Kentucky Az

that the brooder should supply a
roomy and well ventilated hover

room or house in which the hover is
located should be so arranged and
ventilated that the chicks may have

quently, especially under the hover.
Before the chicks are removed
from the incubator and placed in the
brooder, they should be hardened of
by means of lowering the tempera-
ture and increasing the ventilation
in the incubator. If the brooder is
run uniformly with temperature
of 100 degrees under the hover near
the floor for several days before the
chicks are to hatch, correct tempera-
ture conditions will be insured. From
this time on, the actions Of the chicks
will be the best guide.

Seasonal Tips For Gardeners
Planting tomato seeds in a small
box at this time Of the year is the
first step in arranging for early to-
matoes. A box about four inches !
deep will fill the purpose. The bot
tom should be covered with a one
half inch layer of cinders or gravel
and then the box filed with rich, |
pulverized dirt. The soil should be |
dampened thoroughly and then al
lowed to dry on top after which the
resulting crust should be pulverized
and the seeds planted. A warm
place providing plenty of light is a
good one in which to store the box.
Selecting the right kind of pea |
seed sometimes means the difference
between success and failure in hav-
Ing an early supply of this vegetable.
There are two kinds, the round.
smooth-seeded and the wrinkled
seeded. The former type of seeds
should be planted first as they are
harder and will stand more cold
weather than the wrinkled kind.
