BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR STATE CROPS
In Report Issued by Commits.
siOner of Agriculture
Cohen.

Frankfort, Ky, July 13.-The
June crop report, issued by Commits.
sioner of Agriculture Matt S. Cohen
has an optimistic tone. and says that
with seasonable weather from now
on corn and tobacco crops will be
good and the year profitable fol-
farmers. indications at threshing
time are that the wheat yield is not
over ten bushels to the acre. The
report follows:
THE last of June found every
body busy on the farm. The late
corn is scarcely laid by, the early
corn needs cultivation, threshing has
begun in many localities. The wheat,
barley, rye and hay harvest is on
hand and the length of no day is
SUFFICIENT for the Kentucky farmer
at this time.
Excessive rainfall over a large
area of the State during June has
prevented the proper cultivation of
the crops and! in consequence. the
growth of same is retarded by weeds
and grass. Pastures are in good
condition.
"Threshing is in full sway, and
while only part of the wheat has
been threshed, it is estimated that a
very small yield will be the result.
This yield is estimated at ten BUSH
els per acre. Oats have done much
better and show a yield of twenty
bushels per acre.
Corn is reported as looking well
and with seasonable weather this
crop bids fair to be a good one. Con-
dition of same is given at 81 per
cent.
Tobacco as a whole is doing we'll,
though some complaint is made OF
blight on the plants. The condition
of hurley is given at 81 per cent,
while dark tobacco. shows at 90 per
cent.
The condition of livestock is
good. While hog cholera is reported
as being prevalent in some localities
no heavy losses have been sustained
due to the fact that anti-cholera
serum is being more generally used
AID more attention is being paid TO
the feeding of hogs and the sanitary
surrounding them. The
average condition of LIVESTOCK is as
follows: Horses. "a per cent; cat
tie 96 per cent; hogs. 93 per cent;
sheep. 50 per cent; chickens, 80 per
cent; turkeys, SO per cent; ducks,
"a per cent.
The condition of fruits is not
with the exception of
the blackberry crop, which is said
to be the largest in years. Apples
are falling off badly. Condition OF
apples is given at II per cent.
peaches, II per cent; grapes. 80 per
cent. and blackberries. SO per cent.
I'm summing up the report there
Is every probability of good crops In
corn and tobacco. Farmers are urg-
ed to continue the cultivation of the
growing crops. Seasonable weather
from now on will yet make this year
a profitable one to the farmers OF

When Cows Sold at SIS.

How the increase in the cost Of liv-
ing has progressed in the last thirty
or forty years was discussed by Gov.
J. B. Kendrick of Wyoming, an old
stockman, who has watched the march
of events. Today a chicken is worth
more than a turkey was few years
ago; turkey more than hog; hog
more than cow used to be worth, and
COW more than horse. This Illus
trates the increase in the price of
food stock.
sIn March, 1879, I went down to
Texas to look over two thousand head
of steers in Matagorda county, south
ern Texas Governor Kendrick said,
according to the Washington Post.

young cattle I was asked by the man
ager of the ranch If / cared to buy
some older steers. The owner, was
told. had a number of six-year-old
steers that he would sell, although he
was not anxious He was going to
hold them until he got his price, he
declared. The manager impressed
upon me, however. that ! need not
hope to buy unless was willing tc
pay the owners price.

TWAIN MADE PAPER FAMOUS
Virginia City Enterprise, Now Defunct,
Printed Some of the Best Work
of Great Humorist.

To only the old or middle-aged viii
announcement that the Enterprise
newspaper at Virginia City, Nevada,
has passed away The Enterprise was
not potent as molder of public opin-
ion. Its circulation was not notable,
and outside of the state few people
knew of its existence. But it had once
one member of the staff who made it
famous in his day and who himself
later became famous.
It was the Enterprise on which Mark
Twain first used that name which af-
terward became a household word.
He had contributed articles from min

"Josh," but when he joined the staff
he adopted as sobriquet Mark

DAYS. AS new Strikes were made the
newspaper Office was moved first from
Genoa to Carson and later to Virginia

One can visualize Mark in the En-
terprise Office of the Cos, his long legs
twisted about the tilted chair, the old
hat on his great brush of hair, writ
ing some such matter as "Mr. Bloke's
Item,' swapping stories with Dan de

nacular of visiting miners or prospec-
tors. It was there he began the first
of those experiences which were to en-
rich the literature of the country and
to teach a tired world how to laugh.

EXCELLENT ADVERTISING

We have received a copy of the

modore Goodwin's paper), dated Oct.
26, which contains an excellent adj
vertisement for Florida and Marion
county, placed therein by the gem
eral development department of the
Seaboard Air Line railway, Norfolk,
Va, B. L. Hammer, agent. The adj
vertisement contains an illustration

that the banks of Marion county adj
vanced the money to buy the stock.
The Seaboard has been steadily adj
vertising Florida for some time, and
is now preparing an illustrated mag

good work for our state and the scope
of its operations is increasing.

casIinht in oil Lamp.

A war time substitute for the kero-
sene oil light has been provided in
Germany in the form of carbide
candle which supplies the old lamp
with acetylene gas, the Columbia State
notes. The candle is cylinder having
a suitable gas burner at the top and
removable cover at the bottom, and
holding two or three ounces of cal
cium carbide. 1t is set into the lamp
after the oil burner has been removed.
In operation the font of the lamp is
about half filled withs water and the
carbide filled candle is placed in 1t,
when the moisture reaching the car
bide causes the generation of acety-
lene for a considerable time. The rate
of emission of gas is regulated by vary
ing the amount of water. A chalky
residue is left on the exhaustion OF
the carbide, but this is easily removed
when dry or with suitable care, while
still wet and in this state giving of a
small amount of inf1ammable gas. The
average cost of the carbide used is
stated to be about quarter of cent
an hour.

GRATING ON THE GUARDIANS

Whether he is elected or not, this
year will be profitable one for Cats.
1t is alleged that he is assessing the
guardians of liberty all over the state
for funds, and doesn't leave it op-
tional with them whether to pay or
not, but draws on the lodges thru the
banks. A little lodge in this county,
made up of poor men whose dollars
are few and far between, was drawn
on by Cats for $25. The brethren
were greatly troubled, for they didn't
have the money, and thought they had
to pay it anyhow. But luckily they
sought. the advice of an outsider, wise
to the ways of commerce and conf
dence men, and he laughed and babe
them cheer up, and told them to mark
the draft refused" and send it back
And they took his advice.
No use to deny this little story, fol
we have the proof. We are afraic
there are many other little lodges in
the state, however, who haven't q
timely friend TO make them wise tx
the fact that there is no law to make
them pay a draft unless they have
value received for it.

Ever since the primary the Ocala
publications have been working des-
perately to swing the county for
Knott, and have been publishing col
umn after column of predictions.
When Cats was in Ocala short time
ago he addressed large crowd-and
the Ocala papers had never word to
say about the meeting. Miami Me-
tropolis.
The Metropolis is very careless in
its statements. Anybody who says
the Ocala papers have been working
desperately is ignorant of what the
word desperate means. Anybody who
says the Ocala papers have published
columns of predictions either does not
read the Ocala papers or is deliber-
ately stating an untruth. The Star
has not made any predictions about
the election, and the Banner has
rot made more than one or two, and
those very brief and conservative. The
statement that the Ocala papers had
never a word to say about the Cats
meeting in August is untrue, as the
files of the said papers viii show. We
have sent the Metropolis proof that il
has misrepresented the Ocala papers
IF it does not correct its misstate-
ments it will be because it is a de-
hberate liar instead of being simply
careless.

HE SAID 1T

While Mr.. Williams of Gainesville
one of the speakers at Monday nights
meeting, and an ardent supporter Of
Cats, was in the city, he had con-
versation with an Ocala business man
whom we can produce if necessary
and was asked by him If Cats really
quoted the fighting epithet" in the
presence of ladies, in Gainesville.
Mr.. Williams admitted that Cats
had done that very thing.
The Ocala man asked him il he ap
proved of it.
Mr.. Williams said he did not ap
prove of it, that he much regretted it
but he considered Cats the nominee
and was therefore supporting him.
We are very glad we do not consider
Cats the nominee.

We find it impossible to suit the
partisans of Cats. We have said that
many, perhaps most of them, are hon
est in their support of him, but they
are not willing to admit that we can
be honest in supporting Mr.. Knott.

here, we reported it in person, and his
admirers were greatly aggrieved.
When he came the second time, we
sent to report his speech man well
known to this entire town to be a
careful and conservative writer, and
who is also political friend of Cats,
yet that persons supporters declare
that he garbled his speech. Last time
Cats was here, no member of the

PRACTICAL BANKER-FARMING

The Breeders Gazette OF Chicago
prints the following, which will be of
interest in Marion county, as we have
some of that sort of banks here:
speaking of the advantages of his
county for farming, Missourian re-
Gently boosted that the local banks
would loan a farmer all the money he
wanted with which to buy cattle and
would charge him no more for it than
the rate charged for loans on lands.
Asked why that was he replied that
cattle paper was recognized there as
secure, that cattle feeders made
necessary market for the hay and
grain of other farmers, and that the
land needed the cattle to maintain soil
fertility and sustain crop yields. This

rates have been high bankers have
arranged special accommodations for
farmers wishing to buy purebred bulls
and cows. A case in point is the fl
nancing of a purchase of IS head in
Gibson county, Tennessee. So soon
as number of farmers were ready to
cooperate in bringing in carload OF
purebred cattle, all the banks In the
county became interested, and agreed
to lend up to $4,000 to cover the cost

erage cost of $3.50, exclusive OF

time loans at reduced interest We're
made to those who could not pay fol-
the cattle. One bank acted as agent

bankers figured that there were safe

the county.
"The cold, close calculations o.

MOTHERS DAY IN THE SCHOOLS


Attention is called to the law desig-
netting the first Friday in November
as Mothers Day. This does not make
it a holiday but provides that there
shall be exercises appropriate to the
celebration of this day in honor of our
mothers.
At the suggestion of the state
superintendent I most cordially sug-

ernoon be devoted to special exer-
cises well adapted to impress upon the
pupils and visitors the sacredness of
the word mother.
Very respectfully yours,
