DAMAGES BY STORM

A windstorm, which for a time
threatened to do extensive damage,
visited this section about nine
o'clock Tuesday night. The sudden
squalls sent pedestrians hurrying to
shelter. The storm was accompani-
ed by vivid display, of lightning,
and some rain. The street lights
and the lights in the residential por-
lions of the city, as well as power
and current, as usual, were out of
commission for a time. Considera-
BILE damage was reported from many
sections of the county, growing
corn being leveled to the ground and
a number of trees and telephone
poles blown down. Very little dam
age was done in Paris.

One of the hardest bits of acting

The little eyelids will f1utter open.
Rogers gathers up the little ones in

he make them feel the soothing eff

POULTRY CULLING DEMONSTRA.
TONS FOR BOURBON

Six poultry culling demonstra-
lions designed to show farmers and
poultrymen how to distinguish be-
tween the laying and non-laying
hens in their flock will be held in
this county during the latter part of
August, under direction Of the Col
lege of Agriculture extension divis-
lon at Lexington, according to an
announcement received from the
college. The series of meetings,
which will be in charge of j. R.
Smyth, poultry extension specialist,
will open August IA, and continue
through August 16.
The schedule of meetings showing
the owners of farms on which the
demonstrations will be held, to-
gether with the day and the time
| follows:
Carlton Ball, Paris, August IA, 10
a. M; A. j. Thaxton. Millersburg,
August IA, 2 p. M; j. R. Letton,
Paris, August Is, 10 a. M. Miss
Luella A. Jones, Paris, August Is, 2
p. M; J. w. Bell, Paris, August Is,
| 10 a. m.
Farmers in the vicinity of each of
the demonstrations have been invit-
ed to attend the various meetings
in order that they may learn the
method of distinguishing between
the laying and loafing hens. Mr..
Smyth will go through the flock on
each farm pointing out the indica-
lions which show that some hens
have stopped laying until spring,
while others are still laying. Those
whose f1ocks are culled in the dem
constructions will keep egg production
records week before and a week
after the culling in order to prove
that the hens which are removed as
culls were not laying
Practically every flock in the
State has it's share of loafer or nom
laying hens at this time of the year,
poultry men of the college say. On
| the average, about one-third of the
hens in the State stop laying each
| year about this time, after which
| they do not produce any more eggs
until the following spring. They
are the early moulters of the flock
and indications which they show at
this time of the year make it easy
to pick them out.
Culling out these loafer hens has
| five distinctive advantages, the
poultrymen say. 1t saves feed,
makes more room for the laying
hens and pullets, utilities waste feed
for the laying hens and pullets and
eliminates poor hens from the flock
so that they will not be used as
breeders. In addition. putting these
low producing hens on the market
at this time Of the year insures a
better price for them than could be
obtained if they are held until later
in the season when the market for
hens is flooded.
