RARE GAME BisD.-Deputy 5 OF
III S. G. Bsscom, Jr., brought In
last Thursday a RALLUs ELEGANs
vsriously known under the popular
appellations of king rail. great red.
breasted rail, fresh-water marsh.
hen, fresh marsh hen, and fresh
water hen. Its length from tip si
bill to end Of tail feathers was 161
inches; its extent from tip TO tiE
of spread wings, 224 inches. The
species inhabits fresh water swamp,
in the Mississippi Valley, and is q
game bird priced by gunners
though not numerous anywhere. S
c. Bascom, Sr., had this one cooked
and pronounced it as fine q game
bird as he ever ate. 1t was killed
out at the Roe's Run iron mines By
Charles Fowler. He said it wal
remarkably swift on foot.

Spots i'm fields where the snow was
blown off still show the effects of the
exposure, and it is highly probable
that these spots will remain bare to
the end. 1t is estimated that Z per
cent Of the acreage will be plowed
up.
The western section continues TO
furnish the lowest average condition,
u. Only 6 counties out of the 80
report condition above 80, while in
Livingston county the condition is
reported as low as 40. Heavy wash
ing rains have been as much a source
Of damage here as any other cause.
In the central section the prospect
is much brighter. Early wheat is
very promising, especially on tobacco
lands and those to which fertilizers
were applied at seeding time. The
average condition for this section is
81. Thirteen counties OF the 40 show
an average condition above 80.
In the southeastern section the
condition averages Sc.
OATS.
Oats were sOwn very late, in fact
seeding was barely completed with
the close of the month. Many FARM
ers, in their eagerness, sowed while
the ground was too wet for cultiva-
ton, resulting in poor termination
and Indifferent growth. Where sOwn
with ground in good condition the
crop is coming on nicely. The con-
dition of the crop, compared with
average years, is Is. The acreage
has been greatly affected by the late
season, and is estimated at only Is
per cent. of the acreage of 1898.
CORN.
Corn planting made considerable
progress during the month, and
while there yet remains much ground
to be broken planting began as early
as the middle of the month. The
early planted came up quickly and is
growing rapidly. No complaint is
made of injury from cut worms or
other insects. The ground dried very
rapidly during the latter days of the
month, and some difficulty is expert
enced in getting the ground in good
condition for planting.
The per cent. of the crop of 1895
still i'm farmers hands averages 20.
TOBACCO.
Tobacco plants, though plentiful
will be late. Indications are that
setting will not be generally begun
until 25th of May on account of plants
being small. Indications are for an
average acreage. The condition OF
plant beds, compared with average
years, is 70.
CLOVER AND PASTURES.
Glover generally wintered well ant
has made wonderful growth since
the advent of warm weather. 1t i.
now ready for stock to be turned on
Reports on clover sown this spring
differ. In some counties Resolving
has been found necessary on accoun
of being killed by late freezes; alst
that it has been badly drifted int
punches by the heavy rains. Other.
report an excellent catch obtained

Kentucky Crop Report.
Condition of Crops and Live
Stock May lst, 1899.

Reports were received this month
from 100 correspondents, represent

WHEAT.
1t may be interesting to note the
condition of winter wheat i'm the
principal wheat growing States at
this time, according to the Weekly
Bulletins issued by the Climate and
Crop Service for those States.
In the State of Ohio the crop is in
much the same condition as i'm this
State, early sown wheat on well
drained land being promising. but
there is considerable portion of the
acreage which is considered worth
less. In Indiana wheat is badly
damaged in northern part of the
State, but quite promising in central
and southern districts. Illinois,
promising conditions prevail, as a
rule, only in southern part Of State,
badly damaged in central and north
ern portions. In Michigan much of
the wheat will be plOwed up and
planted to other crops. In Missouri
the damage in the northern part of
the State amounts to practical fail
ure, but In the other portions favor
able weather conditions have repair
ed to great extent the injury from
winter killing. In Kansas the latest
reports indicate from one-half to
twO-thirds of crop. Winter wheat
has also suffered i'm the States OF
Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, but
the damage there will be repaired by
sowing to spring wheat.
In this State the condition May LIST
is 80, which is an improvement of 8
points since April LIST. The condition
on May lst, as reported in former
years, was as follows: 1893, IOl; 1897
95; 1896, "A. The seasonable weather
the latter half of April has produced
a rapid growth, but there is some
complaint that the plant is not start
ing well, and that it will not be suf-
fcient to cover the ground. The i'm
provement is confined to early anC
medium late wheat, the extreme lat,
being generally reported worthless

not . large crowd in town Monday,
the farmers generally being too
busy in their crops to come. The
rain the previous night was not q

the ground was not too vet to
work. The merchants report trade
good for the size OF the crowd.
About 100 cattle were offered
and sold at satisfactory prices.
There was q good demand for work

The College Recodes 20 re- Proper Place
the Academy or Life.
Another means by which a woman's
success and happiness are secured at
home Is In making herself felt as the
mistress Of the household" writes
Katharine Roich in the ladies' Home
Journal. "she must be the one to ar
range hours Of work. and not the serv-
ants. She must be the one to regulate
the habits Of the children, and not they
themselves. It Is for her to set the
standard Of the home life. Her posi-
ton requires hrmness and every mem
Der Of the family should recognize and
yield to her authority in her own do
main. Let her assume with courage
and dignity the authority which be-
longs to her, so that every one shall
feel she is equal to Il, while at the
same time she welcomes counsel end
suggestion from others. There aee
women who are too ignorant or indif-
ferent to guide their homes successful
ly, and women too weak to meet the
AN'heAoAbAAAAyf WUAitn WIN arc ia AgA
ror Of their servants, or slaves to the
whims Of children or husbands. It Is
not so that happy homes are made.
Just as a man directs the work OF bis
subordinates and keeps the control Of
all his business in his own hands, 50
the woman who has a home to guide
must be ready to assume and control
the affairs Of her household. Observa-
ton and experience go to show that
as the years bring added responsibility,
and also added comforts to the woman
at home, she finds her restlessness
growing less and her satisfaction grow
ing deeper. The college recedes to its
proper place as the academy Of life,
and the wife and mother realizes that
heart and mind are filled to the utmost.
Her great anxiety becomes rather to
use all the opportunities open to her
than to wish for others. She finds her
self absorbed in her work without the
feeling that she has been thwarted in
her most serious ambitions"
