Remarkable Cow.

A recent issue of the Owens
boro Inquirer gave an interest
ing account of a COW named
Rose, the property of Frank
Fades, of Greensboro, it says an
part:
"kose was born in May, 1888.
la May, 1886, twenty years ago,
she had her first calf. Since
that time she had been dry six
weeks. 1t is calculated that in
that time she gave 1880 gall
Ions of milk and made 6,240
pounds of butter. Counting the
milk as skinned milk and but
termilk, it was worth SLIPS and
at the price that butter has
averaged for many years it was
worth 81, $50, total of SO, 1856.
Her last calf was born in 1900,
and she has been giving milk
constantly since that time. She
was MIXED Friday evening and
seemed to be in perfect health,
as she was in fine condition.
Her death was certainly the re-
suit of old age.''

"Seems to me,- continued
Ward, sit would be safer to take

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR ToBAcco
According TO Expert Views as to Ken
lucky.

Washington, June 19.-Ac-
cording to the experts of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, the to-
bacco crop of Kentuckyis espec-
tally promising this year. This
is especially true Of the crop in
the Burley district, where is said
to be an increase in acreage APP
proximating 25 percent.
Reports to the department. con-
corning the condition of the
plants, the character of the sea-
son, transpIanting, etc., vary
greatly, but, on the whole, it
may be said that plants are good
and plentiful, the season early
in some localities a month earlier
than usual-and transplantlng
well advanced. In a few sec
tions plants along streams have
been partly or wholly destroyed
by rising waters and excessive
rains, and unless the rains soon
cease the lowlands cannot be
used tobacco. Complaint Of cut
worms is general, and in some
sections they appear to have
done much damage.
1t is stated at the department.
that one OF. the reasons advanced
for the increase of acreage is that
the farmers are blowing up grass
land and planting it in tobacco,
owing to the depreciation in the
prices of thoroughbred horses of.
late years. The good prices of
last year and the fact that pack
ing houses have been erected in
many counties Of the Burley dis
trict appear also to have increas-
ed the acreage.
In the Ozark Districts.
Conditions in the dark districts
of Tennessee and Kentucky are
also said to be favorable. The
Paducah district reports small
increase, with late season, due
to rains. Plants are plentiful,
but are overgrown in many cas-
es, owing to wet weather making
it impossible to prepare the land
for cultivation. Insects are trou-
blesome in spots. Good prices
are stimulating farmers to put
on a good sized crop.
Some correspondents think the
low prices are likely to cause a
reduction. in the acreage in the
stemming district, but the gen.
eral impression is that the crop
in this section will be slightly
larger than it was last year. The
Upper Green river and the Up
per Cum berland district seem to
have had an uncommonly favora-
BILE season, except in Warren
county, Kentucky, where the
weather has been too dry A
small increase in acreage is noted.
The Clarksville and Hopkins
vile district indicates an in
crease in acreage of about 20 per
cent. Most of this is in Ken.
lucky counties, the Tennessee
counties of the district showing.
but little, if any, gain. CUT
worms and scarcity Of labor are
most complained of.
On the whole, the outlook for
a big crop of the weed in Ken
lucky this year, barring droughts
and pestiferous insects, to say
nothing of hail and frost, is good.

PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT
Thinks Hundreds on Government
Pay Rolls May be Dispensed
With.
COMMISSION APPOINTED
TO INVESTIGATE.
A special from Washington,

! A special from Washington,
ID. o., says;
The commission appointed by
the President to make an inves-
tigation of all the departments
for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the methods in use are
the best, and whether there are
enough or too many employed to
do the work required, is giving
Government employees "heart
disease as one official express
sed it today. tits not alone the
subordinate who feels there is
danger of his losing his place as
a result of the investigation, nor
the clerk who may be guilty of
sharp practices in connection
with his work. The heads of the
departments, the men who hold
the portfolios, are inclined to re-
sent the appointment of COM
mission of young subordinates to
investigate the workings of the
departments, with authority to
criticise and make recommends
tions aimed toward improve
ment.
Open Resentment.
One of the best ment men in
the Cabinet has privately ex-
pressed his opinion of the mat
ter, and openly resented the APP
pointment of commission. The
heads of the departments are
supposed to know what is going
ON their respective. departments.
Each has said, by his acts, or in
so many words, that he has not
too men nor too few; that every
body is doing his full duty, and
that there is no crookedness.
When the President comes along
and orders that five young fell
lows from the various depart
ments make an investigation for
the purpose Of ascertaining
whether those under the mem
bers of the Cabinet are dong
their duty, the resentment OF. the
head oGicials is strong, and more
or less natural.
But there is nobody who wall
care less about such resentment
and criticism than Mr.. RoOse-
welt. BE is used to that sort of
thing, and rather enjoys it than
otherwise, if all reports be true.
He has smelled rat. There is
mueh told about him how hard
the average Government em-
ploye works, of course, but there
are some square, level headed
persons who think otherwise,'
and these have let the President
hear from them. They have
told him that too many men are
being paid to do the work re-
quired, and that if the same
hours and methods in vogue in
the offices of business were used
in the Government departments
the Government would receive a
great deal better service.
The Leisure Class
The clerks in the Government
departments formed what may
be termed a leisure class. They
begin work at 8 O'Clock a. m.
There is a half-hour for lunch.
The day ends at half-past four
O'Clock. A puddler in a.rolhng
mill works the same number of
hours. There is never an air of
haste and hurry about a depart
ment. There is undoubtedly a
great deal of work to do, but
there are great many people
to do it. Yet it is well-known
fact that there has been a great
deal of Generalization in all the
departments since the order was
issued, about year ago, adding
a half-hour to the clerks work.
