THEIRS were 6i,96l 600 pounds Of To
bacco raised in Kentucky, last year, which
was an increase Of about 100000 over
1870. The value Of the crop of last year Is
estimated at $780,, 329. The amount of
Tobacco raised in the State, is about double
that Of any other State.
LARGE quantities Of Tan Bark are being
shipped from the depot here, to Louisville.
Thousands OF trees have been felled in the
Southern part Of our county, about six or
eight miles from town, in order to obtain
this indispensable article Of commerce.
The price is not as high AZ it was last year,
but fair profit is obtained by those who
ship 1t.
USLEss some extraordinary weather
should occur within the next few days, We
can now certainly predict more than an
average crop Of apples, especially Fall and
Winter varieties, cherries. plums, and
sm- u fruits. II is now the 9th day Of May,
and not once in twenty years, is fruit killed
after this date. The luscious peach. will
however, be very scarce and Indifferent.
Owing to the backward season and other
causes, we are told that a number of our
citizens have no, yet planted their Irish
potatoes. We heard a man ask the ques-
ton last Monday, IL it is too late to plant
them. The reply was, that it would not be
too late until the first of June, to plant
the early kinds, such as Early Rose, Good
rich, &c.-and that even the middle of
June, would not be too late, il the season
should he favorable. However, the sooner
these tubers are put in, the better, as then
the planter can est almost assured Of a iull
crop.
ABour eleven years ago, l man named
Coleman, owned Stallion here, and bred
him at $50 the season. lie was an Abdai-

Woodford county, purchased and bred him.

A GENTLEMAN said to a number Of 9TH
er farmers lust Monday, that as he had
never heard Of Geman Millet before | rs,
he concluded to try few bushels OF IL on
some land upon his farm which did not
produce the other grasses well. lie sowed
three and half bushels, and the yield was
far beyond his expectations, and it not only
gave him good pasturage for several
months, but he cut large quantity for
winter use, and his stock is very fond Of IL
With Millet and Orchard Grass, there is
no reason why any Of oar farmers, even
those who own such land as does not yield
Blue Grass, should be without full sup
ply Of provender for their stock during the
Winter and Spring months.
WrrnIs the past few days, the price oil
meal in our local market, has gone up 10
20 cents per bushel, and but little is to be
had, even at that price. The reason Of this
advance and scarcity, is not plain. Thous-
anis of barrels OF tine old corn are in the
cribs Of our farmers, and there is no valid
cause, rs II occurs TO US, for this advance IL
price and falling Oh Of supply. With
the present prospect for full crop this
