FARM AND STOCK.

The McQuady Farmers Union will
ship this week fine lot OF lambs
and hogs. Last week the union
members shipped their wool which
brought 70 cents the top price.
G.. n. Lyddan, of Park Place, has
bought OF Bowyer Bros, Lexington,
Ky. the good white bull Earldon, to
use on herd of 25 cows and next year
he hopes to have a nice bunch of
roam calves.
w. X. Norman & SIM, Glen Dean,
have refused $1,000 for their white
Polled Durham Bull He is one of
the best Durhams in Kentucky and
was purchased by Norman & Sons
from a Missouri breeder at a big
price.
Mrs. Frank c. Mattingly, OF The
Castle Cloverport, shipped twenty
young hens weighing 100 pounds to
the Louisville market last Friday.
Mrs. Mattingly, like many other far
mers, is having a serious time with
the labor question, but she has the
art of making the best of it when
the occasion demands. She said
when she got ready to ship her chick
ems there was no one to help her, so
she set about to putting the coop in
her seven passenger Overland car
and putting the chickens in the coop;
she was off to the express office in
little while.
Mr. r. Sidney Owen. OF Glen Dean.
says that farming conditions in gen
eral throughout the county are splen-
did. He says all kinds of live stock
are selling high; that grass is good
and there is no reason why the hold
ers of healthy, young animals should
worry, as future prospects are bright;
the wheat harvest is almost over and
the prospects in that is for a big
yield. On his own farm, Mr.. Owen
has begun harvesting Z or s acre
field OF Burt oats that some day will
make rs to 100 bushels per acre, tho
he is not expecting anything like that
this year.
