WHAT CAN BE DONE.

What fool and two rabbits can do is well shown in Australia. Some years ago a pair of wild brown rabbits were liber- ated in the colony ofeVictoria by gentle man who wished to preserve on a private park that he had laid out some of the wild game common to England. There were at that time no rabbits on the Australian con- number of rabbits in Australia is estimated to number hundreds of millions, a compu- tation not at all surprising when. in ac- cordance with an estimate made by an ex- pert, the progeny of a pair of rabbits left for seven years undisturbed and with plenty of food will be no less than 1 ,500, O0O, ,OOO
 In the colony of New South Wales alone about s4 ,000, ,00O has been expended in en- deavoring to destroy this pest, and as yet no satisfactory results have been attained. A royalty is given for the scalp of every rabbit killed, varying from two cents to twenty-four cents, the larger sum being paid for rabbits in districts where they have Dcoh buiuhco ouo. iAAeACCti, eiio SiOoeA oSeioh of rabbits has become quite an industry in itself, furnishing employment in New South Wales to several thousand men, who earn from s20 to $50 week. In some cases, on account of the high prices paid for their scalps, rabbits are looked upon as more valuable than live stock. When twenty rabbits will bring the price of one sheep there will always be some hard-pressed squatter tempted to rais' rabbits on his land instead of sheep. Bu the number of rabbits destroyed is exceed ingly large, as in one year there have beer exported from New South Wales as man. as 15, ,OOO, 900 skins, while of those rabbits
 destroyed by poison, as most of these 15, 900, 900 were, only about a sixth of tn, bodies of those killed are ever found.
 What the end will be remains to be seen | Thus far the rabbits have decidedly tn best of the contest. The Australians ar not preparing to raise monument il
 honor of the man who gave the rabbits
 start, nor are they singing "Bring bacl
 my Bunnie to me-"

GERMAN STRAWBERRIES.

s .Stammering has increased to such an ex- tent in Germany as to lead to- thorough investigation of the defect It is found that among the children attending school there are not less than S0,000 stammerers. Dr. Gutzman, one of the investigators, says that involuntary mimicry plays a great part in stuttering. Like yawning, it is catching The quicker child is, and the more initiative, the more apt it is to imbibe any defects of speech on the part of those by whom it is surrounded Con elusive evidence of the contagious nature of stammering is to be found in the fact that the number of sufferers in school increases steadily as the children pass up- ward from class to class. In the public schools of Berlin, for instance, the number of stammerers among the children in the lowest class was 0.52 of the total force of the class. This proportion rose from year to year, as the children passed upward in the educational scale, until in the highest class the percentage was discovered to be 1.61, or more than three times the number found when the same children were in the lowest class. Comprehending that it would be only with special care and particular precaution on the part of the teachers that the public schools could be prevented from becoming centres for the propagation of the grave defect of stuttering, the German government has encouraged Dr. Gutzmann to start special course of scientific in struction for public school teachers show ing them how to deal with stammerers; and the public schools in all parts of Ger many have now sent teachers to Berlin for
 the purpose of acquiring Dr. Gutzmann's
 method.
 It will be interesting to see progres;
 made in eradicating stammering from Ger
 many There is no good reason to doub that much can be done.

 LITcHFIELD, Sept 6.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Litchfield is in quite state of mind. In order to understand the situation the rolls of history must be turned back for generation or two. Years and years ago there lived in the village a youth who, though his pedigree were not the longest, nor his ancestral tree the broadest, pos sessed energy, determination and restless activity. As he approached manhood he made up his mind to seek elsewhere the wealth and renown continued residence in his native town did not assure. In fact he was dissatisfied His friends and neigh bors remonstrated with him at this extra ordinary un-Litchield-like manifestation. Why could he not be satisfied with himself and his surroundings as they were perfectly satisfied with themselves and their surroundings. Were they not all Litchfelders togethers Did they not all breathe the same air, &ci All in vain. Of he would go. So he left the high country and travelled two days journey | into the low country. Finally he came to a spot where there were factories, ware I houses and counting rooms; where water wheels splashed, machinery hummed, and ! the air was filled with the noises of trade, profit and wealth. Here he fixed his hab- itation and here he prospered wonderfully.
 So happy was Dame Fortune that Litch-
 fielder should at last worship at her shrine
 that she poured over him the contents of | all the cornucopias she had been reserving | for Litchielders from untold ages. In | course of time he died and was gathered | to his fathers, leaving many children to | mourn his loss, and to each millions with | which to assuage grief. Now these grew
 up and prospered. They purchased them
 selves vast possessions both in the low and in the high countries. They married into
 the quondam 400" They built palaces
 on Fifth avenue. Their yachts ploughed
 the milder seas. They were known and
 recognized at Newport and Saratoga. In
 fact they became tip-toppers financially
 and socially.
 About twenty-one or two years ago there
 was born at Ltchfield of this prosperous
 stock girl baby who from initiatory
 babyhood gave wonderful promise A
 soon as she was old enough to assume in
 dividuality it was manifest that the indi
 viduality would be most lovely. Hel
 tiny fists and toes were round and ruddy
 as punches of cherries. Her cheeks wer, like peaches shining through satin gauge Her gsloo galoo was the tinkling of silve bells in wells of crystal water. As sh grew every promise was realized. Sh { was as dainty as a dumpling, as graceful as a church steeple, as radiant as sunrise as lovely as armsfull of roses, as gentle a . focks of grazing kine. It seemed as if al ) the loveliness of all the land were in he

mates DIR. John d. Clardy, the dele
gate-elect from Christian county, to
be the next governor. The sugges-
ton will meet with a good deal ol
favor in the west where DR.. Clardy is
known. He is genuine farmer, a
man of education, refinement and
brains. There is no occasion in
Kentucky for the arraignment Of one
class against another in The Demo
cratic party, but where recognition
can be given to the farming classes
forming a large majority of the party
in the State, there is no reason why il
should not be done. There is nc
questioning DR.. Clardy's ability, hon
esty or Democracy, and if after max
ing good record in the Constitu
tional Convention, he should ente
the race for governor, he will have I
strong and enthusiastic following.

A Hawesville correspondent of the
Owensboro Messenger, has this to say
Of the Wheelers' Convention at Sebree
Thursday:
From a prominent member of the
Alliance of this county learned that
the meeting at Sebree City would, in
all probability, nominate that friend
OF the farmer, and a man who is one
OF the tillers Of the soil, Hon. Jas. A.
Mckenzie. He said there was gen
eral desire for Mr.. Kenzie and he
thought that would be the result of
the above mentioned district conven-
tion."
The KENTUoKrAN happens to know
that Mr.. Mckenzie, since accepting
the Worlds Fair Commissionership
for five years, is out of district politics.
He is not a candidate for Congress
and is furthermore too good a Demo-
crat to accept any nomination not
made within the lines of the Demo
cratic party.

FARMERS IN THE SADDLE,
They Will Control in Kentucky
and Elect the Next Governor.
DR.. John D. Clardy, of Christian Coun-
ty, the Man for the Position.

/
/ Farmers Homo journal.
This is a year of surprises in tho
South so far as political matters are
concerned. For two or three years
the farmers organizations, known as
the Wheel and Alliance, have been
steadily growing in numbers and az
gressiveness. 1t is not necessary here
to relate the grievances Of farmers
further than to point to the general
depression which pervades all the
agricultural regions Farmers are
dissatisfied at seeing all other branches
of industry prospering while their
own is getting worse and worse.
Hence they have determined to take
hand in politics. They do not form
new party south, but seize, by force
of numbers, upon the dominant party
and place their chosen men in the
highest places in the State and force
their conventions to nominate farmers
for Congress. They have won in
Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi,
Texas and Tennessee. They are get
ting control in other States and all
things indicate the nomination CT the
Democratic Governor of Kentucky
next year.
The uprising in this State will be
ripe for work about the time of the
State convention.
Farmers believe they have been
neglected; that the laws are made in
the interest of other classes not only
in the national Congress but in the
State Legislature. They are ready to
burst the bonds with which politicians
have held them and become masters
in fact as they are in numbers.
They will probably name the next
governor of the commonwealth and
all signs point to
DIR. JOHN D. cLARDY,
of Christian county, as the most in
telligent and best posted farmer for
the position. DR.. Clardy is man If
experience in affairs, a successful
farmer well informed in government
al matters and student OF political
economy.
He has been for many years at the
head of the State Grange and Presi-
dent of the State Farmers institute
So popular is he in his own county
that he carried it last week by over
$50 majority for Delegate to the Con-
stitutional Convention, though it has
gone Republican for twenty years by
large majorities. This shows his
standing at home.
He is operating two farms of SOC
acres each, and makes them pay,
He can do more good in the guberla-
torial chair than any politician and
the Farmers Home journal hopes to
see a general uprising in his favor.
Now is the time for farmers to speak
out, Who seconds the nomination.
