STOCK AND CROP.

B. F. Buckley bought of John w.
Allison, 20 pure Southdown sheep, st
$40 per head, for breeding purposes.
Montana sheep owners have at
tanned their ideal-four pounds of
wool for dollar. Twenty-six cents a
pound was paid for 100, 1000.
Mr.. Lewis Neale has purchased
the old T. D. Chenault farm near
Richmond, paying $53, 1000 for same.
This is one of the best pieces of prop
erty in Madison county.
The average farmer keeps half a
dozen more horses than he needs, and
seldom stops to think that the best
statisticians figure that it costs about
$58.75 cents per head per year to keep
them.
Jos. A. Howerton, sold % fat he gs
to Hibler Bros, at 5119 cents. He also
sold bunch of nice lambs, average
9415 pounds, to Jonas We'll, at 51a
cents; and to Spears & Sons, 200 bar
rels of corn at $3.50.
1t is said that the crop of wheat
in Nicholas county is the poorest rails
ed in many years. It's grades from
fifty-two to fifty-four pounds to the
bushel, when it should grade sixty to
sity-two. Wheat is now selling in
Carlisle at 7S cents. q
According to DIR. Wiley, condi-
tionS in Kentucky are not favorable
to the cultivation of the sugar beet to
an extensive scale. The experiments
were conducted at Lexington, and the
yield per acre was extremely low, be-
ing reported at 6.25 TONS. The sugar
in the beet was equal to 9.05 per cent.
and the coefficient of purity was 73.
These percentages are low as COM
pared with the yields at stations in
Indiana and other States.
