Jack Rabbits.

"Gen. w. H. Gentry, of Fayette
county, has been large breeder of
trolting stock. The horses have failed
to sell for satisfactory prices, and he
has contracted with breeder of jack
rabbits in Kansas to send him thirty
head of jack rabbits for FIVE head of
trotting-bred horses"
He expects TO raise rabbits for
chasing, The sport will be very ex-
citing. II the General knew what
pest these rabbits are in some sections
of the United States, he would cer-
tainly not afflict the people of Fay
cite county and Central Kentucky by
their introduction. Many thousands
are killed at a single drive in some
sections of California, where they do
great damage to young orchards and

Growing Green Crops.

The obserVant progressive farmer
will take good care that the parts of
his farm which are not bringing sat
istactory results are brought no to the
highest fertility, and one of the best
ways of accomplishing this is by
green manuring. Clover is undoubt-
eddy the best green crop for blowing
under, taking the country through,
though rye and rape are both good.
Something must be used on the worn
soil, even If only a small section can
have attention at a time. To neglect
this work is to reduce the earning Ca
pacity of the farm.

laABy's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

"A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter .
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with scrofuIa Sores.
! "At the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break OUT on his right
cheek. We used ell the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
i was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming

says:
"Since this christening business
causes more or less serious friction, as
in the case of Miss Richardson and
the first-class battleship, Kentucky,
and the painful uncertainty as to the
whereabouts of that bottle OF fifty
year.old Bourbon, would it not be just
as well to do away with it altogether
Better still, would it not be the part of
wisdom TO abolish the warships, and
put the Eve millions that 1t costs 10

university, or asylum, or home for the
drunkards we are turning out through
our legalized murder mills, or fleet

MERGE on every sea, and thus revive
our industries and bring bread to our
starving? OF what practical value
are the 1000 warsbips OF the nations,
with their 10000 terrible guns and
their 100000 men Withdrawn from
the fields of industry, to be supported
by already overburdened taxpayers ?
OF what value are the 100000 Of

Several of the independent tobacco
manufacturing companies of Louis
vile have given options on their prop
erty to Hamilton, o., capitalist, who
has taken them to England. Other
large manufacturers in Ohio, New

options, which may result in a gigan-

Cost Of Bad Roads.

The comparative cost of hauling
over good and bad roads is very strik-
ingly illustrated in a paper from Mr..
Charles Z. Ashburne, Jr., on the sub
ject Of macsdamized highways. The
incident related came under his own
observation. Mr.. Ashburne says:
GA machine weighing 10000 pounds
was drawn four miles on the Brock
turnpike, macadamized road. 1t
required four mules $4,000 pounds to
q mule), and one and one-half hours
of time, at cost of Is ceuts per mule
per hour, or . total cost for four miles
of 80 cents. After travelling four
miles on macadamized turnpike the
route lay little less than 1000 feet
on a dirt road. To travel this 1000
feet it was necessary to use ten of the
very best mules and seven men; and
with this force it took nine hours to
complete the journey. The cost was
$3.50, at which rate four miles would
have cost $209.0S; or, in other words,
S2OS.lS is absolutely thrown away for
want of mscadsm road. A macGd-
am road, such as would have pre-
vented this enormous outlay, would
cost about 500 per mile for every
foot of width; that is, 10-foot road,
$1,000 per mile; l6-toot road, 81, 600
per mile, etc."
