Tobacco is the Chief

Product Of Christian county, and
grows more than any other
county in this great dark-leaf
district. There will be found

and culture of the weed"

One Hu ndrcd Bushels Per Acre are often
Raisc1,
Oats yield in abundance, if
properly cultivated. While the
annual yield per acre does not
exceed thirty-livc to fifty bush
els per acre, well authenticated
reports have been made of over
100 bushels per acre on land well
cared for.

Rye, barley and buckwheat

Christian is a good county, of
fcrlng homes, and magnificent
opportunities for profitable in
vestmcnt, and the enterprising
people of the North should take
advantage of these opportunities
in this land of promise. Here is
a county richer in agricultural
and mineral wealth than the ia
bIed lands of po,sy; awaiting
tlllage by the brawny hands of
labor or tapped by the magic in
Iucncc of capital, and it will re-
pay a thousand fold the efforts
made in either or both directions.

Hay Grasses.

Timothy on well drained river
basins and on deep upland soils
will yield from one and one-half
to three tons per acre. With
proper care, a timothy meadow
should last from eight to ten
years. Herds grass is also used
as hay. Glover hay is much
used for home consumption, but
not much sold in the markets.
Corn a Staple Crop.
Corn has always been a staple
in Christian county. The yields
on river bottoms sometimes 90
as high as sixty to eighty shelled
bushels to the acre.
Broom Corn.
This useful product attains
perfection on some of the
rich uplands of this county. 1t
brings good prices and every
wisp of it can be manufactured
into brooms in the region where
it grows.

other Crops.

In addition to the foregoing, as
part of the staple crops, may be
mentioned cabbages, sweet po-
tatocs, and tomatoes among
fruits, pears, peaches, plums,
grapes, cherries, Strawberries,
raspberries, blackberries, goose
berries, asparagus, snap beans,
onions, squash, cucum bers, ege.
plant. These are all grown to
some extent and find ready
market, early in the season,
throughout the Northern States.

WHEAT.
The Yield is Large and Pays the Farm
crs Well for Their Labor.

Wheat grows we'll in this coun-
ty. Nothing but winter wheat
is sown, and the yield in the
counties will average about twcn-
ty or forty bushels to the acre,
and is the largest wheat growing
country in Kentucky.

When pceling unions carry a
piece of steel an ordinary darn
ing needle is large cnough-in
the mouth, projecting between
the lips, and you will avoid the
smarting, tcarmaking sensation
which ordinarily accompanies
this operation. There is some
thing in the steel which attracts
to it the offending volatile oil ris-
ing from the pungent vegetables,
giving the one peeling absolute
immunity from it's distressing
effects.

IRISH POTATOES.
This is One Of the Most Satisfactory Crops
Grown HGrc.

One of the most satisfactory
crops grown in the county is the
potato crop; which for several
years has been increasing in
acreage. The first planting of
potatoes is usually shipped in
barrels to Northern markets
early in June. a second crop is
planted upon the same land the
latter part of July and the pota-
toes dug in October. Each of
these paintings on good soils and
with good success will make
from forty to sixty bushels per

the original treaty etwee Sir Julian
P~auncefote and Secretary Olney was
signed last December and where on
February End last. the present treaty
was signed by the British ambassador

marked than at any previous stage OF the
movement. This Of itself Is proof Of the
strong hold that the idea has taken on the
people and Of the probability Of its enact

course Of his report reviews the reasons
that tend to prove the advisability Of such
step and refers fnstructiveIy to the
statistics Of the experience Of other ma
lions with postal savings banks, all Of
which have succeeded in accomplishing the
purposes for which they were organized.
Thus 1t can not be urged in opposition to
the plan that It Ii an experiment. or that
