westcrn Cnttlc In Kentucky.

The news comes from Richmond,
KY, that Mr.. j. S. Collins, of that
place, has recently made quite a nice
profit from venture which is not en-
tirely new, but which partly takes
from Kentucky the reputation she has
borne of being a le-breeding state.
Mr.. Collins has been buying western
cattle in Chicago and selling them rs
feeders or graZers to the farmers OF
Madison county. OF course, when the
supply falls short in the bluegrass
counties the farmers owning the rich
pastures look to other sources. Here
tofore they have generally succeeded
in getting their cattle from the
mountains of eastern Kentucky or
from Tennessee. but this source seems
to have been recognized in days gone
by as the great center of shorthorn
breeding, but the supply of stock cat
tie was never very great in this state.
We furnished for many years the inn
proved bulls used in the great western
states, and now we have to look to
that country for stock cattle TO utilize
our rich pastures.
The reporter who furnished the item
in regard to Mr.. Collins venture says:
"rhe cattle Mr.. Collins has brought
into Kentucky are weatern cattle, and
this introduction of new blood will no
doubt result in improving the breeds
here" He must have veiy poor opin-
ion of the Kentucky breeds of cattle,
or very limited knowledge of the
manner in which cattle improvement
is carried on to make this assertion. 1t
may be said that these cattle viii not
be used to improve our natives. But
the trade in stock cattle from Chicago
is not in its infancy as many distillers
in this state have procured their feed
ers from that market for several years,
One reason for the short supply of
grazing cattle in this state is found in
the fact that since the introduction of
Jerseys so many of the calves are
marketed as veals instead of Icing
kept as feeders. Unfortunately, no
matter how profitable n Jersey cow
may be in her sphere, the calves Of
this breed do not grow into very good
grazers or feeders. and are therefore
sent to the butchers usually month
after birth. Another cause OF the short
supply in Kentucky, is due 10 the fact
that so manr--bluegrass farmers lave
been growing tobacco and neglecling
the cattle Observation-Disclosures.

THE ART OF POVERTY.
How the southern Farmer May He-
mnin Poor, nnd Not Try Very
Hnrd, Either.

The Canton (Miss.) Times is edited
by n man who is prominent in medi-
cine and agriculture. In recent num-
Der of his paper he tells his planting
contemporaries how to get poor and
stay poor" Here is the recipe:
Just keep on doing what you have
beer doing all your life. Don't raise
much corn. Don't raise hogs; don't
vase any colts; don't have but few
COWS, and don't feed and care for them
-starve the calves. Don't have any
sheep; don't have good garden; don't
raise any potatoes; don't raise any
fowls but a few chickens, and let them
scratch for a living: have lot of dogs;
don't work any more than you are alb
soIutely compelled TO. Don't put up
any improvements; don't terrace your
land, and be sure not TO fertiiize it
any. DON'T have any shelter or hay for
your little stock. BE sure to keep up
with your ntjghbors in dress, style
and equipagc. Don't take any papers,
especially agricultural ones.
Don't buy any improved stock.
Don't miss town once week or often
er. and always be on hand at every
gathering. visit and have visitors often,
hire all the labor yon are able to get,
growl about hard times, and envy the
fellow that has money and call him a
Shylock. Don't stay in the field any
moro than you can help, and don't
work your crops too fast nor gather
too carly. stint the feed o. your piow
stock so they will have a good appe-
tite and eat all the cobs and shocks.
Sperd every dollar rs fast as you
can get it. Don't take any interest In
pubic affairs and believe everything
the ot'ice-seekers tell you. Lay all
your msfortunes and poverty on the
other fellow; never think you can do
wrong or possibly be at fault En-
patiate upon what you would do il you
only had the money to do on, and what
YOU will do after awhile. Beratc nj

A GREAT ENTERPRISE.
But Great in Contemplation Only, as
1t Never Came toEnc
Established.

A worthy American citizen, having made
a fortune, Jared forth to see the world Eu.
ropean business ways and habits thoroughly
disguised this nervously keen expert in
money making, and he poured forth his
soorn to some friends he met in Paris. One
of them, knowing the ignorance of the old
gentleman on subjects without the circle in
which he lived, ventured on joke
Il agree with you" he said; Il agree with
you thoroughly. Why, do you know, sir,
| was last week in city of l25,000 inhab-
,tants--and | was overcome, sir-overcome

"No-you don't tell mel" answered the
tictim. Gentlemen, see therel Just con.
slider that" Then jumping to his feet as
the thought struck him. why, gentlemen,
fortunes awaiting someone there!
Where's the place? What's the name of
it?"
Venice" said the joker.
Good! I'm tired of this place anyway.
III go right down there tomorrow, and put
a little horse.sense into the town. Gentle.
men, you're, in this good thing with me, if
you choose"
They were all in it, and they invested their
friend with powers plenipotentiary. The
story has no dramatic point, save that it is a
historic fact that Venice was visited. No
one ever heard an account of that visit, but
for long afterward no participant in the
joke could get within hailing distance of the
self-appointed pioneer of American enter.
