JAMES JOKE.
Tells One on Gov. Brown at Rus
SellviIIe

Gov. Brown and Ollie James both
spoke at Russellville on Sept. 4.
The former spoke before dinner.
Ollie followed IN the afternoon.
Following is an extract from his
speech:
Il was at the Louisville conven-
ton fighting my hardest for Capt.
William j. Stone ard Mr.. Brown
was there fitting about the head
quarters of VIM. Goebel and it was
well-known fact that he was for
Goebel against Stone or Hardin.
Now / am for Goebel and we find
Mr.. Brown going about seeking to
avenge the wrongs of Wat Hardin.
When Hardin was the nominee in
1895, where was Gov. Brown then?
Where was Roderick when one
blast on his bugle equaled 10000
men? The, Governors Office at
Frankfort, which he then occupied,
was made the headquarters of Re-
publicans plotting against Hardin,
and Mr.. Brown said he could not
vote for him without holding his
nose.
"Mr. Brown said ! would tell you
some stories and in order not to
disappont you | will try to tell you
one: There was once dead body
found and held for Identification.
Finally rich young man claimed
it for the remains of his father and
ordered the undertaken 10 prepare
grand funeral. An expensive
coffin came, but as the body was be-
ing placed in it the handkerchief
which held up the chin became un-
tied, the mouth dropped open and
disclosed false teeth. Hold, cried
the young man, this is not my faith
err, for he did not have false teeth.
The fine coffin was sent back and
as the undertaken placed the body
in pine box preparatory to send
ing it to the pauper burying
ground he said: IF you had only
kept your DIN mouth shut you'd
have got a decent burial. So it is
with John Young Brown, he has
grown old in party service and the
party delighted to honor him. If
he had kept his mouth shut he
would have received decent

the number in 1898. There has
been substantial increase in the
Central counties. many of which re-
port au increase of Is per cent. over
last year. On the other hand, in
the Eastern, Southeastern and
Southern counties, devoted more
particularly to raising stock sheep,
the number is correspondingly de-
creased, being but 80 per cent. of
the number in 1898.
Cattle-The number of "feeders"
compared with 1898 is IS per cent.
Cattle are suffering annoy ance to an
unusual degree from the. "horn fly"
which is more numerous than ever
known. This, with the drying up
of pastures and scarcity of stock
water in some sections, has reduced
the condition of cattle as we'll as
live stock generally. Some 'tPink-
eye" is reported in Bullitt county.
Horses The number of "wean-
lings" is IS per cent. of the number
in 1898.
Mules-The number of sugar
mules is estimated at so per cent;
''cotton mules at 50 per cent, and
"weanlings" at SO per cent. of the
number of 1898.
Hogs-The number of hoge is es-
timated at 81 per cent. of the num-
Der of 1898. A number of counties
report an unusual scarcity of hogs.
Hog cholera is prevalent to limit
ed extent. Thirty correspondents
answer the question. "Have you
hog cholera?" Automatically and 1O8
answer IN the negative.
Pastures.
Pastures in the Central counties
are very short indeed, while in the
Western section grazing is still
good. The condition averages 81
compared with average years. On
August l the condition was "a.

Wheat.


Nreshing has progressed IN the
Northern and Western States OF the
winter wheat belt without develop
ing any change from conditions pre-.
vlously reported. The crop is a
light one in yield and considerably
below the average in point OF quail
ty.
Spring wheat harvest is nearing
completion and some has threshing
been done. In addition to the injury
to the crop in Minnesota and the
Dakotas by the hot winds, further
damage by hail and wind storms
has occurred, the loss being total IN
a number of counties in Minnesota
and South Dakota. Rain during
the latter part of August has inter
fered with harvesting and threshing
in North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota and Nebraska, causing
sprouting shock and stack and
bleaching of the standing grain.
The yield for threshers is reported
disappointing, rarely exceeding hf-
teen bushels per acre.
In Kentucky the weather was
generally favorable to threshing'
and no reports of sprouted grain
are received. Yield continues to
pm, light, with the quality holding
up to the excellent grade promised
earlier.
Considering the favorable indica-
tions Tor higher future market the
crop is being marketed freely. Re-
ports show but 81 per cent. of crops
in farmers hands September /, as
compared with 70 per cent. on Sep

Corn.

in the central section, the rains
ceased at time when late corn
was at the stage when early corn
sustained such injury, and unless
rain comes soon, may prove even
lighter than early corn.
In the Western counties the rains
continued longer, and late corn Will
make a full average crop. Some
early corn is being cut. Late corn
will not be safe from danger before
October l.
The condition for the State, as
whole, averages 70, which is the
average on August l. The condl-
ton September for the past two
years, was September /, 1898, los;
