Agricultural News and Notes.

Put the straw stack up SO that the
straw will not be wasted. You will find
in the course Of the winter that it is good
for a great variety of uses. We have
even known farmers who at harvest
time did not consider it worth saving
who were glad enough to use it for feed
ing before the winter are over, says The
Prairie Farmer.
At the Kansas experiment station they
tried turning cattle on rank growing
wheat for little time in April, with the
result of an average loss of three bushels
of grain per acre.
Apples will be small crop. Peaches
promise to be abundant. Grapes are in
6ne condition, with some injury from
rot and rosebugs in various localities.
The tobacco acreage returned to the
department of agriculture is placed at
9S.6 per cent of the area devoted to this
crop last year. Condition stands at SO.
The government statistician gives the
acreage of corn as 1888 compared with
last year, an increase of some 100000
acres, while the condition is computed
at 93.2 against only S1.1 in 1892 and
99.S in 1891.
TIE acreage devoted to potatoes this
year will be 101.1 per cent of that Of last
year. The percentage of condition ia

rhorouehbreds from Russia.

Eighteen thoroughbred horses Of the
Orlof strain have arrived at the expo
sition grounds from Russia. Among
the lot there is champion trotter;
that is, champion trotter in Russia,
for Americans in reading of champion
trotters naturally have visions of
Nancy Hanks, Sunol, Maud S., and
others of American breeding flying
over mile course in 2:04, 2:0S and
2:OSsl. The Russian trotter referred
to els the property of Grand Duke
Konstantinovitsch and is the stallion
Bivalvy, whose record is somewhere
near $50 or 2:40. Another trotter
called fast is Kra Kut. The animals
are in charge of Capt. Theodore
d'Ismaillof. The horses are now quar-
tered in the stock pavilion.

blossomed out in the tree trunks which
form the four corners of the pavilion.
The trees for this little structure were

fortune.

f. Mr.. Peter Jett, one of the oldest
citizens in the county, died We'd
aesday night at 1889 O'Clock, at
the home Of his son-in-law, Mr..
A. B. Reed, about three miles
from this city on the Louisville turn
pike. He was confined to his bed for
about four months, and for a month
or more before his death he was so
very feeble it appeared impossible
for him to survive another day. The
Anglo-Virginian race, however, from
which he derived his longevity, not
only transmitted to him a sturdy
frame and vigorous constitution, but
character built upon inflsxble
principles of right and duty which
could not pass away until the Attic
tions of mind and body had finished
the impress of a long and honorable
life. Born in Culpeper county, Vir-
ginia, June 8, 1904, the deceased was a
son of Matthew and Susan Tapp Jett,
natives of the same county, but of
English origin. Matthew Jet served
in the war of 1912 and came to Ken
lucky in 1920, three years after his
son, Peter, had taken up his residence
here. Both came to this county, tn e
father settling on farm on the Law
renceburg turnpike, on which he died
in 1854. Peter Jett was reared
farmer, but he also learned the trade
Of a carpenter and for many years
was a contractor and builder, from
which occupation he earned hand,
some competency. He was appoint
ed county assessor for a number of
years, and after the adoption of the
Constitution of 1859, was elected to
that office, in which he served for
about twenty years. Until old age
him he was for more
than twenty years honored by the
Democratic party as the chairman of
the county committee of this county,
and though his party prejudice was
we'll known to his friends, no one
ever questioned for moment the
equity of his ruling. For more than
half century he was an elder in the
Presbyterian Church, holding his
membership in the Bridgeport and
afterwards in the South Side Church,
and in the discharge of the duties of
that office he was never wanting in
jhe piety and devotion of an earnest
follower Of the gospel commands.
On May 27, 1920, Mr.. Jett was united ].

Of Mr.. Stephen Arnold, of this coun-
