Hard on Lawyers.

Many lawyers in Kentucky who have
examined land titles and pronounced
them good are in quandray as result
of the decision of the Court of Appeals,
several weeks ago, that the State has
lien on land for taxes for period of
seventeen years instead of five years,
as nearly every lawyer supposed. IN
der the law the lawyer who examines a
title and pronounces it good, guaran-
tees that the title is good and if there
is any defect the owner of the proper
ty, who had the title examination
made can go back on the attorney for
the loss. If under the late decision of
the higher court, the Auditors agents

lawyers will have titles not clear which

This is the last report for 1909 and
the next one will be issued March l.,
1910:
CROPS.
On the whole the year has been a
very favorable one for the farmer. The
weather has been almost ideal farming
weather since July 1st, from which
time this report covers The drouth of
the past year was not evident as
enough rain fell during the month of
July, and with the exception of some
localities during August and the first
part of September when it was real dry
the farmers were enabled to harvest
every crop and house it nicely.
WHEAT.
The average wheat yield for this
State was not very heavy, being about
eleven bushels. This should be increas-
ed, and can be made possible if the
proper rotation of crops is practiced by
the farmers
CORN.
A large acreage of corn was planted
this year. and in fact is the largest for
many years if not the largest ever
planted, and more attention was given
to seed selection and proper cultivation
than ever before, l inaugurated a
series of Corn-Growing Contests for
boys and girls and wherever they have
been held they have been very success
full. A number of counties are having
corn shows and it seems that Kentucky
will be contending rival against the
great corn growing states of the West
The average yield for the State this
year is thirty bushels per acre.
OATS.
The oats crop in Kentucky this year
was good one as against complete
failure of last year. An average yield
for the State this year is twenty bush
els per acre.
DARK TOBACCO.
About the usual crop of dark to-
bacco was grown, possibly a little less
than last year and the average yield
was produced.
hurley TOBACCO.
The acreage of hurley tobacco was
very large, being about the largest if
not the largest ever grown in the State.
The quality is good and the average
yield is about nine hundred pounds per
acre for the State.
FRUIT.
- The fruit crop taken as whole was
very light. In some localities there is
a good crop of apples. Peaches, cher
ries, plums and strawberries were very
light.
HORSES.
Horses are holding up fairly we'll in
numbers and are selling at a very good
prich, the average being SOL 90 for
the State; mules are scarce and are
selling for an average price of $3.50 90
and are hard to buy at all. Cattle not
as plentiful as they were last year and
are selling from 99c to SIC, the average
for the State being &c; sheep are in
creasing in numbers owing to scabies
being among them and the State being
under Federal Quarantine-thea average
price for the State is &c; hogs are
scarce and are selling high, prices
ranging from &c to 7c. There is little
or no disease among them, taking the
State as whole, but in a few localities
we have heard of cholera. The general
condition of livestock for the State is
"a.
POULTRY.
Poultry and poultry products are
higher now than ever before-chicken
range for &c to lie per ponnd and
eggs are selling anywhere from 16c to
25c per dozen in the country.
CLOVER. AND ALFALFA.
Both are scarce and are selling fol-
good prices. Clover averaging $40. sc
per ton, while alfalfa is selling at S12..
25.

The Game of Pig.

Any one who has no played the game of Pig has yet to learn what a really thrilling game is. It can be played either for prizes or with forfeits and is either way delight ful. The cards used are those of the uchre deck which are dealt as for Old Maid. Players sit around a general table and cards are dealt face 6own. Everyone matches the cards dealt to him as quickly and quietly as he can. the object being to get out of cards as soon as pos sible. As soon as any player finds himself out of cards) which is done by drawing and matching as in Old Maid) he says nothing about it, but folds his hands under the table. This is a signal for all players to do the same thing that is. 70 lay aside their cards and observe sill ence. But most players are too in- tent upon the game to notice the silence reigning in other parts of the table. One by one they become aware of the fact and quietly lay down their cards. The last to do so is the Pig. who must either for felt his chance for the prize or pay forfeit according to the arrange ments made in advance of the game. A number of rounds are al ways played in order that number of pigs shall be made. Woman s Home Companion for December.
