A KENTUCKY HERMIT;

Living in aniiude in the eat tern
portion of Kelson county, ten m.'Ici
from Uardstown, is one of the most
singular characters 'iii" Ken I iv'.y.
Now in his seventy-fifth year, he
lias not touched foot to the eartb
ior over 30 years.
Basil Hayden, says the Philadelphia
Press, is one of the wealthiest farm
ers in a district composed of 12 coun
ties, and is descended from a family
well known in the pioneer annals of
thl fitntp
' Many of them hnve also been dis
tinguished in the different lines of
life.
One of his brothers, Raymond H.
Hayden, for years held a controlling
interest in one of the most famous
distilleries In the United States, lie,
too, hod peculiar ideas and lived a
bachelor all his life, and at last died
at an advanced age under singular
circumstances.
lie was found dead in his orchard
a number of years ago, a bottle that
hnd contained poison lying by his
side. It was generally thought that
ne naa committed suicide, but there
were some who held the opinion that
he hnd met with foul play and the
poison bottle was placed near him
for a blind.
Basil Hayden, "The Hermit," as he
is known throughout the section in
which he lives, in his youth was a
social leader and very popular with a
large circle of friends.
When tho war broke out he entered
the confederate army and made a
good soldier to the end.
When he returned home he found
Ms slaves free and his property great
ly damaged. The emancipation of his
nejrroca affected him seriously, and
lie brooded over it constantly.
He became sullen nnd morose, de
clining all overtures at friendliness
on the part of his neighbors. He

declared that the Lord had dealt
harshly and unjustly with him in de
priving him of his slaves, and out
f reveafs he registered a terrible
'ath thai he would never again put
his foot to the Lord' ground, and so
for he has kept his tow.
Kev.r since the registration of hie
vow naj n appeared jrJtoas u
faor, nor will he have converse with
anyone save one or two, who are
immediately connected with him, and
then his words are of the briefest
possible character.
ll'.A landed Interests are extensive,
and u der the management of a com
petent overseer yield him a handsome
income.
Thr 1 verseer makes his reports to
the ;i;cer old man in his darkened
Indorr retreat, who gives his orders
and directions as tersely as possible.
He has never spoken to a woman
since his self-imposed exile, nor will
he allow one to be employed upon
his place.
How he spends his time within his
darkened - room no one knows, but
It is said that one employment is the
counting of money, of which he is
said to have a vast amount in gold
and silver.
He it as it may, a Bardstown bank
er twice a year visits Mr. Hoyden, and
through him the recluse settles his
financial matters with the outside
world.
Mr. Hayden is described as a fine
looking man, with a full beard and
flowing hair. His confinement has
blenched him until he is as white as
en infant and his hands arc as soft
ss raw cotton.
He had a sale of mules at his farm
recently, and n number of animals
were sold at fancy prices.
A large number of people were
present at the Bale, hut never a
plnnee was caught of Mr. Hayden.
His instructions to the auctioneer
were sent out by the overseer, writ
ten in a crabbed hand, and were very
'lire.

In many of the less closely settled
regions of our country, when snowi
are deep and food scarce, rabbits de
velop into a serious pest by gnawing
the hark of fruit trees. Some items
about thia trouble from a recent bulle
ting by H. Carman, of the Kentucky
station, may, '' therefore, not come
amiss. -
When the nursery is small it is pos
sible to inclose it with a close slat
fence that will "turn" rabbits and
serve all the purposes of the ordinary
fences required to keep out stock. In
timbered countries, where rabbits are
most troublesome, fences of this char
acter may be cheaply built. Two types
of fence suitable for the purpose are
to be seen in the state. The most com
mon is made of rough slats, four to six
feet long and about three inches in
width. The slats are securely fastened
together from one to two inches apart
with No. 11 wire, stout posts being set
at intervals of 10 to 10 feet to insure

stability and keep the panels upright.
Since the slats can be adjusted to any
uncvenness of the ground, it is possible
to exclude anything that a fence can
reasonably be expected to turn.
. The second type is made of shorter
slats, three or four inches long, and
these may be supplemented above by
one or more wires stretched from post
to post. J. Q. A. liahm has built such
a fence about his nursery. .He uses
slats three feet long, none less than
half an inch thick, and sets his posts
in spring, waiting until hot weather iu
August and September before putting
up the slats in order to have the wire
fully expanded at the starts The wires
are simply crossed between the slats
and are kept taut, while building, by
a barrow loaded with about 1,000
pounds of stone and placed 100 to'&J
yards ahead of the workmen. Near
the barrow the wires are secured to
a single tree made of a piece of stout
timber, a log chain being passed around
this and secured to a weighted bar
row. Babbits are very easily caught, not
withstanding their well known cun
ning. One of the- simplent and best
traps used for the purpose is made
of rough fence boards six inches wide
and about two feet long. These pieces
are nulled together so as to make an
oblong box, one end of which is closed
with a short piece of board, while the
other is provided with a board con
sisting of another piece of board which

in the projecting sides or between
slats nailed to the end, as shown in
the cut.
The bottom piece may also be al
lowed to project so ns to make the
door more secure when closed. A
small hole is bored through the top
at about the middle of the box, and
midway between this and the loor a
stick is secured in an upright position.
Across the top of this latter a sec
ond stick is secured by a nail in a notch
made in the upright one bo thnt it
will seesaw up and down. A third
stick of small size is notched near one
end and secured at the opposite end by
means of a piece of twin to the end
of the larger movable piece. This mov
able piece is now connected by twine
at its forward end to the top of the
door, when the trap is ready to set.
The door is elevated, the little stick
passed through the hole in the top
and secured by the notch to the front
edge of the hole. When the rabbit
enters, it pushes the projecting end
of the stick before it, setting it free,
allowing the suspended door to de
scend and thus cutting off its own es
cape. The traps may be baited with
a piece of apple or cabbage placed in
the end farthest from the door. Cin

Vegetables la the Cellar.
All vegetables keep better at a low
temperature and, excepting In the se
verest weather, the cellar window
may be kept open during the' day, at
least, If it is on the south side. It
also helps to keep the cellar sweet
and fresh. We know there is no need
of an Ill-Rmelling cellar. Vegetables
properly buried and an open window
in all suitable weather will prevent
unsavory odors. Have a regular
time f or closing the window, aa you

will be well.
