DR.. J. B. Owsley tells US that his firm
has already bought 100000 pounds of ba-
con sides, paying less than 3 cents a
pounnd for them. The firm is also kill
ing an average Of ], 25O hogs a day,-StOn-

To William J. Turpin, of CarrolltOn,
Mo-, belongs the distinction of feeding
the highest priced bunch of cattle seen
there within the last two years. They
were Polled-Angus, averaged 1910 lbs,
and sold at S6.4O.
Hunters are prone to think very hard
of farmers who post their lands, but they
do exactly right. The average hunter
does not care how much annoyance he
gives people and is exceedingly careless
as to fences and gates, and is not particu-
lar as to the direction of his shots.-,Stdn-
ford Journal
The Changers of Michigan have de-
clared against the Government loan plan.
They do not want favoritism in the use
of the public funds, nor the people to be-
come dependent on the charity of the
government. They are unwilling to ask
that one class should be favored above
another. This view would seem to be
the correct one.-Times.
A party OF Mexicans is in Kansas City
studying the pork packing industry, with
aview to establishing a business of this
nature in the City of Mexico. They say
that the Mexican Government will GER
tainly pass a tariff bill retailiating upon
the United States for the Mckinley bill,
and they want to be ready for pOrk-pack-
ing when American pork is excluded
from Mexico by prohibitory tariff.
Holstein cattle are just now having a
| boom, ana very justly so, as they come
nearer to filling the requirements OF the
'general-purpOse cow than other breeds.
Within the past ten years great attention
has been paid to the breeding Of Hol-
stems, and as a result we have several
STRAINS or families noted for milk, for
butter, for beef, or for a combination of
two or three qualities. The farmer or
dairyman may therefore breed with a
great degree OF certainty because the HOl-
stems as a'breed, are exceedingly prepO-
tent and may be relied upon to stamp
their individuality upon their calves

Tie year that is now rapidly drawing
to close has been marked by events
that will always make it a memorable
year in the history of trotting and pac-
ing performances. More horses have
entered the $50, 2:2O and 215 lists than
in any previous year, and more low rec
ords have been made. More great races
have been trOtted and the average at
tendance at the meetings has been better.
Many more trotters have been sold for
higher average prices. More new breed
ing farms have been established and the
older farms have made greater efforts to
improve the quality of their stock and
their facilities for handling and develop
ing trotters. The new fashioned kite
shaped track, ii not used for the first
time, has at least come into extensive
public notice for the first time. Two
horses have surpassed any producers OF
preceding years in the number of per
formers they have added to the list,
and several more have made additions
that in any previous year would have
been regarded as phenomenal. The
stallion record standing at the close of
last wear has been repeatedly broken up
by two horses, and now stands a second
and a quarter lower than in 1889. The
pacing stallion record has been reduced
four seconds. The four-year-old record
has been reduced five and half seconds,
and two-year-old fillies have made rec
ords, one against the watch in 2:121, the
other in the third heat of a race in 2:142.
A fOur-year-old stallion has trotted in
2:134 and another in 2:15. The race
record of all ages has been reduced a
half second. A yearling has trotted in
2:293. The record for the fastest three
successive heats has been lowered. A
twO-year-old PAGER has made a record of
2:164. A yearling has trotted a quarter
in 364 seconds; another, with two weeks
handling, has trotted a quarter in 3S3
seconds and repeated it in the same time.
| The pole record has been reduced to 2:13.
For the first time in the history OF
trotting horses a stallion has filled his
book at 81 ,OOO Quite a number of 9TH
ers have filled at $500. Larger stakes
have been offered than ever before-ont
of SIS, 900 and several of $4,000.

town. Some handsome residences and
excellent business houses have also been
built.
But Richmond's growth dates a long
way back. 1t has not sprung up within
the past year or two, as some other towns,
and is not of the mushroom type. Rich
mOnd has grown steadily and surely for
forty years. In 1850, the courthouse, yet
one of the best in the State, was built. In
1884 and 50 the block on South side Of
Main street, between 2nd and 3rd streets,
was entirely rebuilt. Adult that time a
strong jail was erected. In 1856, the GEM
etery, now the handsOmest in Kentucky,
was laid out, and in 1853, Madison Fe-
male Institute was dedicated During
that period the Christian and Presbyterian
churches were built-yet attractive struct-
ures. The war stopped all progress, but
when hOstilities ceased, the amphitheatre,
then the largest and finest in the State,
was built. In 1868 the railroad from Lou
isville by way of Stanford, was opened and
the Barlow mill was begun-Richmond's
first mill. Then followed the Catholic
church, Green's Opera House, and other
buildings. In 1871, the square on the
North side of Main street, between 2nd
and 3rd, was rebuilt. In 1915, the
square on LIST street was entirely rebuilt.
In 1874, Central University was opened
and has grown from one building into
eight. DOnelson's carriage works came
in some where in the '70's, and the Mon
umental works were recognized and en-
larged. The Potts mill and a Planning
mill appeared within that period, togeth-
er with many attractive business houses.
Another newspaper had already started,
and various streets had been opened, a
telegraph line added and two banks, an
other opera house, &c. The past ten
years have more than kept pace with the
! former decades. One of the best equipped
photograph galleries in the State, new
| jail, several new livery stables, another
planlng nlll, a grand MOTEL, a telephone
exchange, steam creamery, steam laundry
and a number of the handsOmest residen-
ces in the State have been built. The
prospects for the coming decade are more
promising. by far, than were any Of the
past. Richmond is in position to con
tinue her growth and that at a more rapid
pace than at any time in the past. Le
the good work 90 on.

OpaIs from American Mines.

The discovery of paying opal mines in
the new State of Washington near Mos
COW, Idaho, is one of the most impOr-
tant events connected with gem min
ing in the United States. While dur
ing the last half century nearly all the
known varieties of precious and semi
precious stones have been found in this
country, says the jewelers. Weekly,
none of the more valuable kinds have
been discovered in paying quantities.
The Washington opal mines appear IN
contain treasure in la,s- quantities,
and it is likely that mining these gems
will prove, within reasonable limits, a
profitable enterprise. The quality Of
the stones is said by those who have
examined them to be good, and 1t 10
likely that American opals will in the
near future be important features Of the
stocks of the leading jewellers Of the
country.

A BUSY WEEK IN THE SOUTH.

In reviewing the industrial progress Of
the South foI the week, the Manufactur-
ems Record of December %, SAYS:
The past week has been a very busy
one in the South, and the prospects are
bright for great activity during the win
ter and spring. The well-rounded de-
velopment goes steadily on, and enter
prises of great magnitude, as well as
smaller ones, are being organized daily,
while capitalists from the North and
from Europe are investigating in many
places with a view to heavy investments
in railroad, IN manufacturing and in
town building enterprises. At a meet
ing Of the stockholders Of the Greens
boro Steel d Iron Co, Of Greensboro, Y.
C., ii was unanimously resolved to con-
tract at once for the construction Of a
large BesseIner iron furnace, which will
mark the beginning Of the coke-making
iron interests in that State, except in an
experimental way At Richlands, Va,
100000 tube works are to be built bv
American and foreign capitalists; Car
diff, Tenn, Is to have basic steel works;
a new furnace has been contracted for

prOvement company has been organized
at Morristown. Tenn; in West Virginia
two coal mining and coking companies
have been chartered, one with a capital
of s. 100000 and the other $4,000; Ar
kansas has a new 100000 coal mining
company; Florida a $4,000 fibre manu-
featuring company; Houston, Texas, a

the record for the week shows, but they
indicate how widespread is the activity
and how wide the diversity Of the enter
prises organized. The new year bids
iair to show a wonderful degree Of indus
trial activity from the Potomac to the
