The Bluegrass Crop.

The bluegrass season just closed
has been practically successful one
in Bourbon county. This county, as
much as any other in Central Ken
lucky, has at all times, been at the
head of this industry, one which has
IN its scope taken in many foreign
countries for its market before the
war.
When the farmer wishes to save
seed from his blue grass fields he
takes the stock out of the fields early
in May. The seed is generally ready
for the harvest early in June. The
harvesting is done by "strippers,"
which are either horse-drawn ma
chimes, with rollers on them which
strip OF the heads and dump them
into carriers, or small hand machines.
The operation is familiar to most ev-
zryone. Most of the seed is gathered,
,dof course, by the large machines, but
when labor was plentiful. boys, and
even men and often girls, made good
wages gathering the seed by means
sof the small hand shippers.
After the heads are stripped out
they must be spread out to dry. This
work is usually done in large held,
The seed being raked into long rows.

Clean En- Up!

Many back yards are an abomina'
ton to the eye and nose. One finds
in them all sorts of litter and refuse,
from oyster cans to old boots. Here
the Stops of the Kitchen are poured
to increase the odor which ought to
warn every thoughtful person of ma
larial influence breeding there, to
break out eventually in fevers or
diphtheria If member of the fam
lily dies from one of these diseases,
his death is probably lamented as a
mysterious dispensation of Provi-
dence," but the minister would say il
he were to visit the back yard, that
death was caused solely by viola
tion of the hygenic laws.

Good Old Summer Time.

Could the tabled land of Paradise
he much more fairer than is the
country around Paris just at this
time of the year? Perhaps the long
and tedious winter through which
we passed some time ago has height
sssned our appreciation of this season
III bud and blossom, for we enjoy all
things by contrast, and perhaps
this passing from the snow and the
cold of winter to the warmth and
verdure of summer at a single bound,
almost, is unprecedented in the mem
81 Dry of even 1.-The oldest inhabitant."
1T produces an unwonted thrill of
pleasure.
At any rate they may talk of the
purple haze of Italy, the vine-clad
hill of France, the sea-green tints of
the Emerald Isle, the quiet lanes of
england, fragrant with their bios
soming hedgerows; but whoever will
rise early enough these mornings and
get out into the country around
Paris will not exchange it for any of
them, and besides they can get the
essence of all these things, and not
20 out of the good old county of
Bourbon.
No sea-grit island can boast a
fresher green than can our foliage
and grass after the recent life-giving
rains. The air is vocal with the
songs of birds and odorous from the
blossoming trees. Flowers of every
Ehue are in full bloom everywhere,
springing from their retreats to
bring to our hearts bright promise
For the morrow. ALI Nature seems
1nstinct with life and hope.
Come, then, all those who are in
. despair and sorrowful. There is a
Beast spread out for you just for the
stalking. 1t is yours without price.
Don't spend these precious mornings
tossing on your couch, hoping the
doctor will find panacea for your
! flls, or that something will turn up
40 aissipate the gloom.
r. r Go out to meet these healing, in
rspiring infiences which Nature is
providing for your relief. Open your
lungs and hearts to her sweet breath
and words of cheer, and balm more
potent than any ever patented by
man. Take a boat ride up beautiful
sStuner, if you want to get something
OF the JOY of life in your veins. You
will be glad that you are alive, and
I'm this county, and that it is such
a beautiful season Of the year.

Mercy to Dumb Animals.

If everyone who owns or cares for
dogs would see to it that the animals
have plenty of water to drink during
the summer months there would be
fewer cases of rabies. There are
doubtless hundreds of poole to whom
this simple precaution never occurs,
and who just take it for granted
that their canine friends can, of
course, find water somewhere when
ever they are thirsty. This applies
to other animals as well, but dogs
are the principal sufferers.

Now an Established Recreation

(By HOWARD r. WHITNEY. Secretary

The indications for the coming
year In the golfing world are promis-
Ing. The game will be played more
than ever as II Is now an established
recreation or benefit for old and young
alike. The association Is DESTROYS of
holding a second Liberty Tournament
In 1913 and will endeavor to reach ey-
cry club In the country, the number OF
which Is estimated to be between $500
and 1000. This tournament and the
open patriotic tournament, given for
charity, held at whitemarsh Valley,
were the only two competitions held
under the direction Of the United
States Golf association in 1917, the
association having adopted the policy
or cancellhg its championship due to
the war situation now prevailing.
Growth Of Game.
The growth of the game of golf In
the United States during the last %
years has FAR surpassed the most opti.
mistic prediction of the handful of en-.
thusiasts who organized the United
States Golf association on December
Y. 1894. Its popularity and bene.
hts soon became apparent, however,
and some idea Of the expansion of the
game may be gained by looking over
the report Of the Liberty Tournament
held under the auspices of the United
States Golf association on July 4. 1917
from which It will be interesting to
note that the association communi.
Gated with no less than 1,497 golf
clubs.
Every state In the Union was rep.
resented In this event except Idaho
Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon. and
the amount received at the time the
report was issued In October was over
$4,000. Since that time, however, the
total has been increased to more than
$4,000, due TO late returns from clubs
and demonstrated that the golfers of
the United States exerted themselves
to make this event a nationwide. pa.
triotic testimonial. The tournamen,
was carried on with the hearty coon.
