THE MULE IN
WAR AND PEACE

The American mule seems
likely TO have nc opportunity to
distinguish himself IN the Great
European war. Mules are con-
traband and unless subsequent
events shall demonstrate that the
warning nations need the Ameri-
can mule in their military opera
tions many of the foreign mar
kets will be closed and the
activity of buyers will be lessen
ed.
England bought a large num-
Der of American mules during the
Boer war and found them ad-
mirably suited for military pur-
poses. Kentucky Tennessee and
Missouri sold many of their good
mules to the buyers for the Brit
ish Government and a boom was
started in mule flesh which made
prices better than ever before
known. S AS a matter of fact the
good prices continue even to this
day with the markets of the
world open at present the value
of mules would be greatly en-
hanc ced.
Kentucky has been selling
mules to the farmers of the South
for many years. Some of the
Kentucky towns have long en-
joyed Importance as mule mar
kets. The Kentucky mule is not
renowned for his beauty, but
he renders enormous service in
carrying the burdens and in facil-
itating the business of the world.
The fame of his serviceability
has spread abroad until he is in
demand almost everywhere the
sun shines. He is useful alike
in peace and in war.
A small mule can do as much
work as a big horse and can be
kept in good order on much less
provender than is required for
the horse. Mules are growing
in favor wherever they are
known and the temporary inter
ference with the foreign trade is
not likely to seriously affect the
mule-growing industry. Ken.
lucky is finding the mule one of
the most saleble of her live
stock products and neither wars
nor rumors of wars can reduce
the mule output of Kentucky
farms.

READY FOR A WRECK.
The Careful Man Who Believed In
Taking Every Precaution.


Taking Every Precaution.
Two friends boarded a great trans
atlantic liner and set sail for Cher
bourg. One was a good fellow. The
other was a niggardly man. The first
night out they went to their state
room.
Say, Bob," said the niggardly man,
II wish you'd step out on deck while
I undress."
THAT'S a remarkable request" OBJ
jected the good fellow. why have
you developed this streak of bashful-
ness at this late day? never saw any
signs of it before"
Never mind about that" said the
niggardly man. You get out!"
After a long and acrimonious argu-
ment the good fellow went out on deck
and stayed half an hour When he
returned to the stateroom the niggard-
ly man was stretched out in the up
per berth Moreover, he was dressed
up like a Christmas tree in a berib-
boned nightgown and a woman's bou-
doir cap

have you got that makeup on"

I. H. c. TO BE DISSOLVED

The international Harvester
Company was declared to be a
monopoly in restraint of interstate
and foreign trade and was order
ed dissolved by a majority deci-
sion filed Wednesday at St. Paul,
Mimi, by Judges Smith and
Hook in the United States Court.
Judge Walter H. Sangorn dis
sented.
Unless the $I4o,ooo,ooo corpo-
ration submit a plan for the dis
solution of the combination into
at least three independent cIu-
Germs within ninety days, or in
case of appeal within ninety days
of the issuance of an appeal man
date from the United States Su-
preme Court the decision an
nounces that the court will enter
tain an application for the ap
pointment of a receiver for all of
the properties of the corporation.
The decision of the court was
given by Circuit Judge Walter 1.
Smith, of Iowa, with which Judge
William c. Hook, of Kansas
agreed, and from which Judge
Walter A. Sanborn, of Mime
sofa, dissented.
The majority opinion held that
the International Harvester Com
pany was from it's organization in
1902 in violation of the Sherman
law. The Original corporation.
formed of five concerns, violated
the first section of the Sherman
act by restraining competition
among themselves. The combined
organization also tended to mo-
nopolize trade in contravention of
the second section of this law.
The decision declares that
while the International Harvester
Company and its selling organi-
zation, the international Harvest
er Company of America, control
from 80 to s. per cent. of the
trade in agricultural implements
manufactured by them, their
II eatment of smaller competitors

KENTUCKY CROP REPORT

AnAAN - ~ 49, ANOA MI ONA
The crop report as of August
lst is the most discouraging one
that has been issued from this
department for many seasons.
The report issued last month,
while dismal in many prospects,
had hopeful undertone, as seas
enable rains could then have saw
ed the crops more or less. There
has not been a general rain in
the last month. insufficient
showers have fallen in different
localities and conditions have
deteriorated in practically every
portion of the State. It is now
too late for the rains to do
early corn any good whatever.
The corn that was planted after
June Ist would be materially
aided by good rainfall. Tobacco
will come out with anything like
a good rain, and the damage has
not been so serious to the tobacco
crop as to the corn crop. Pas
lures have dried up and stock
water is very scarce in many
places. The lack of good drink
ing water has seemed to injure
stock more than the lack of
pasture. "
Corn has dropped from a con-
dition of 81 per cent. to 65 per
cent. Burley tobacco from 65 per
cent. to SO per cent. Dark to-
bacco from a condition of 81 per
cent. to 62 per cent. Clover
pastures are disappearing show
ing a condition of S. per cent.
Bluegrass 81 per cent. and alfalfa
65 per cent. Cow peas and soy
beans are resisting the drought
better than any other of the forage
crops. Again we would like to
call attention to the possibilities
of these two legumes, and the
farmer who has sowed a few
acres of either of these plants IN
all probability will have hay
for the winter, as wei as improv-
ing his land. Fruits are dropping
of the trees on account of the
drought conditions. The condi-
ton of apples is given at 62 per
cent, pears at GO per cent. and
peaches at Is per cent. Live
stock conditions are given
Horses o2 per cent, cattle SO per
cent, hogs 80 per cent. and sheep
SO per cent. Poultry as a rule
is doing well. Garden conditions
are given at 81 per cent.
While rain would not do the
corn crop any good, yet it would
be of great help to the man who
has sown late maturing forage
crops. There has been but little
summer blowing done on account
of the ground being too much
packed to break up in good con-
dition. Farmers are urged to SOW
rye, barley or wheat as early as
possible. in order to have winter
pastures. Winter or hairy vetch
is fast becoming an important
part of our winter pastures
This is a leguminous plant and
can be sown with rye, and will
make hay early in the spring if
this mixture is cut before the rye
heads.
Great care should be exercised
to prevent fires spreading in the
fields. The forests are becoming
dry enough for fire to spread
rapidly if once lighted. The
water supply of several towns has
become so low that the health
authorities are warning the farm
ers as we'll as the city dweller of
the danger of using water from
stagnant wells or pools or from
low springs. Two dry seasons IN
succession have rendered condi-
tions very unpromising from an
