KLINE'S BIG SHOWS
BLUE GRASS FAIR
INCLUDE NEW ATTRACTIONS AND
SURPRISES FOR THE
PUBLIC.
Company to Appear at the Blue Grass
Fair Is the Best and Most Complete
That Have Visited kentucky.

This year as in the past the Kline
Shows have added new attractions and
surprises for the public. founded and
perfected only by great labor. patience
and skill with no spare of time and
money to make their organization that
which II is now, the most complete and
best equipped carnival company tour
ing the country to-day.
The repertoire of new ideas and
novelties advanced are far above the
old stereotyped carnivals of a few
years ago.
Many startling features will be pre-
scented for the first time to the amuse-
ment loving public. The new attrac-
tons, the new riding devices are the
most unique and far removed from all
others.
The Kline Shows have been made
popular by their clean class and char
acter OF everything undertaken. Moth
ing OF a questionable nature has ever
been tolerated. The usual catch-penny
affair. games OF chance. etc. have al
ways been conspicuous by their alb
sence.
The company this season Is the larg-
est, best and most complete the Kline
Shows have ever had on the road. II
consists OF about go persons and the
outfit will travel on a special train of
twenty or more cars.
The aggregation will represent an
investment of several hundred thou
sand dollars. The shows and attrac-
tons are varied. comprising every
thing with which people expect to be
entertained and amused when they at
tend fair or carnival. And the shows
are all clean. that Is one thing about
which Mr.. Kline is very particular.
He has reputation which has re-
suited in the Kline Shows being book
ed by the biggest and best fairs In the
county for number OF years. For
Ave years he has been showing at the
Dallas State Fair. an equal period at
the Illinois State Fair and like places.
This year In addition TO the others, he
has secured the New York State Fair,
the biggest In the country.
The following are few of the at
fractions to be seen with the Kline
shows.
The Walter X. Sibley. international
lady champion swimmers and divers

special swimming tank has been con
structed for the act. which is an limo

July 10th, 1914.
The Crop Report as OF July fist
shows the general condition OF
growing crops TO be greatly dam
aged by the lack OF rain fall. The
continued drought throughout the
State is said TO be so serious that
in localities almost a total failure
Of oats, potatoes, grasses, ETC., Is
reported. Gardens and pastures
are suffering the most, in some To-
calities being almost burned up for
the need OF rain.
Corn is reported TO be withstand
ing the drought better than any
other OF the growing crops. IL has
been well cultivated, and so far re-
ports show the condition TO be 81
per cent.
Much Of the wheat has not been
threshed, but where IL has been the
final yield is reported as an average
OF II bushels per acre for the State,
and OF a good quality. Oats also
show an average OF II bushels on
the final yield, although in some
sections they are reported as so poor
they were not worth cutting. Rye
is given as making an average OF
IL bushels per acre. Much thresh-
ing has not been done yet.
Burley tobacco acreage is given
at 20 per cent, while the condition
is estimated to be 65 per cent.
Dark tobacco shows an average in
acreage OF 81 per cent, while its
condition is given at 81 per cent
Much Of the tobacco was unable
to be set owing TO the drought, and
what was set is reported to be in
only fair condition and badly
needing rain. IL must be remem-
bered, however, that there is a pos
sibility for a great outcome in the
tobacco crop in case Of rain within
the next few days.
Live stock is beginning to show
the scarcity OF water, although the
condition Of horses is given at %
per cent, cattle at 90 per cent, hogs
at ~ per cent, and sheep at 81 per
cent. Poultry is reported as doing
well under the season conditions,
chickens showing 81 per cent,
turkeys 80 per cent, and ducks are
given at 90 per cent.
The crop Of small fruits was
greatly curtailed on account of the
drought. The blackberry crop is
reported to be very short, as ber-
ries are drying up on the vines.
The present condition Of apples is

system of agriculture suitable to these
conditions must sooner or later be
adopted.
In view OF these facts the Expert.

people Of Eastern Kentucky the great
advantages of fruit raising and general
horticulture, also the advisability OF

HOG CHOLERA PREVALENT IN
KENTUCKY

Hog cholera is very prevalent

especially in those counties most
devoted TO hog raising Every farm

methods 10 avoid the ravages OF this
disease. Sanitary measures are OF
the greatest importance and often,
il properly carried out. are sufli-
cient TO avoid an outbreak Of hog
cholera.
II is true that the disease is most
prevalent in herds that are i'm
properly nourished. but hog cholera
is specific disease caused by a
specific icro-organism. Attention
and care do not Of themselves in
sure protection against the disease.
Once present in the herd ii spreads
TO the healthy animals and results
in death OF 10 TO 400 per cent OF the
individuals. The weakened hog
will more certainly die. and perfect
surroundings and management are

fer positive immunity. All infec-
tious diseases require a specific an

toxin; that is anti-hog cholera SER

itself insure the presence or the de-
velopment OF a specific anti-body

been observed in many herds un-
der perfect care, that, on exposure
TO specific infection. the animals

toms and on post-mortem reveal
characteristic LESSONS Of hog chol-
era.
The most reliable means Of pro-
tecting hogs against hog cholera is
in the use OF anti-hog cholera serum
at the proper time. Farmers are
frequently not aware OF the protec-
tion the State offers in such in
stances. and not infrequently we
have received communications indi-
eating that the serum treatment is
not understood.

dition Of 65 per cent. Plums are
given al 70 per cent and grapes at

are estimated TO be SO per cent.
Great complaint OF the gardens
is shown generally throughout the
State, in many instances total

are reported at az per cent OF an
average years condition. Alfalfa
is reported at rs per cent, while
orchard grass is given at II per

also, while clover is estimated at

In summing up the report il
shows that there has been a deter
ioration all along the line in the
last month OF crop conditions.
There is a possibility Of a fairly
good corn crop and tobacco crop
in case Of rain within a short time.
Farmers are urged TO continue the
cultivation Of corn, but let that cul-
tivation be exceedingly shallow.
The drought is general over the
State, and several localities report
there have been no showers since
early in June, and some have not
had any rain since the first Of May.
