heed and learn its lesson, Here is
the picture: "The most perfect

FACTS AND OBSERVATIONS.
Continued From Last sk-Wild
Turkeys and a Large Bear.

Soon after reaching Salt Lick from
Yale, we observed that there was con-
siderable interest in something at the
dePot. The small dog was shy and
the crowd gathered around. An i'm
mense bear had appeared. We asked
not whence it cameor whittier it went.
1t failed TO escape up telegraph pole,
so went East of the G. g. o., leaving
the money less(? p men.
This recalls that at Yale a gentle
man told us that short time before,
back few miles in the woods, he saw
eight of flock of fine wild turkeys.
Some of our local sportsmen will prob
ably be disposed to take fishing tack

parts.

Powder
Economy

The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs only
fair price, and is cheaper at its
price than any similar article.

KENTUCKY CROP REPORT.
Conditions Of Crops a i'd Live S took
April lst., 1900.
WHEAT.

The average co dition of the wheat
crop, compared with normal on April
LIST, is SO. winch is Ill points above
the average tor the past four years,
and one point below the condition on
date of last report.
In the wertern section the condition
is 80, IN the central it 1877, and in the
southeastern it is go. This is fall
ing during the month, with the ex-
ception OF the southeastern section,
which shows an improvement in con-
dition.
The crop was subjected to some
severe tests during March by the low
temperature prevailing during the
early portion of the month, and the
frequent freezing and tina wing later.
The i'll effects are mainly shown in
late wheat, and wheat on land i'm
perfectly drained. Early wheat on
well drained soil, though the blade s
are Drowned, appears to have suffered
no permanent injury. Apprehensio n
is still felt in some sections OF future
injury by "hE" working injury st
this season is so remote we are in
clined to the opinion that the injury
mentioned is traceable 10 some other
cause.

Developments so far show fruit
buds in good condition, although a
number of correspondents consider
peaches killed. Many peach trees
were either killed outright by the
cold weather of the winter of 1898 9 ,
or have since died from injury sus-
tanned then. 1t is also true that a
considerable percentage of peach buds
was killed by the cold weather of last
winter, bur it is moro likely than
o;hog " i-e that the loss will prove a
benefit by Kidding the trees of sur
plus fruit. Fruit trees have borne
scant crops for the past few years,
and should be in condition to give ex-
cellent results with q favorable season.

SHEEP AND LAMBS.

The crop Of spring lambs is near an
average one, Notwithstanding the
frequent "cold snaps and such
cold, wet weather, occurring at the
time when the maximum loss might
been sustained. The high prices of
lambs has induced farmers to provide
better shelter for tn ir nocks, and the
loss was mitigsted to some extent by
reason of this fact. Feed is scarce,
pastures are IN a poor condition, and
how to keep the lambs IN thrifty
condition till the grazing season is a
serious question now with flock own
ers. The number OF spring lambs
living is SO per cent. of the number of
average years. A loss OF about 4 per
cent. of sheep was sustained from
dogs during the past year.
