KENTUCKY FARMERS
REAP RICH HARVEST.
Revenue from Breeding Thorough
bred Horses Only Profit to Be
y Depended Upon.
Sale of BloOded Colts Produces
Money When Other Products
Bring Loss.

The Kentucky farmer has lost
money on his wheat and corn; he is
forced to ship his cattle and hogs TO
a losing and constantly falling mar
ket; and his losses on his tobacco
have nearly driven him into bank-
ruptcy. The eaismities Of a troubled
world are placed upon his hack al
ready bent double by its burdens
Under these untoward conditions.
the one fortunate exception among
farmers is the stock raiser who owns
one or more thoroughbred mares He
always finds a nationwide demand for
his thoroughbred foals. The weanling
at its mothers side frequently brings
him $500 to $1,000, while the yearling
will sell for from $500 to $4,000;
a colt from a Jefferson county farm
having brought, at one Of the recent
Saratoga sales $4,000.
Year in and year out, the Kentucky
thoroughbred finds a ready market;
buyers from all over the wrold coming
to this State to secure material to
improve the horses Of their respective
countries or localities. Owner Riddle
refused 100000 for Man-O-War, a
horse bred by Mr.. August Belmont in
Old Kentucky. A wonder horse Is
Man-O,War. A smasher of all records
and victor over all opponents that
made some of the most brilliant Of
turf history. he has been returned to
his native hearth, there to perpetuate
his great qualities. Last month, Man
O'-War's full brother. Playfellow, by
name, was sold for $115,000; and not
long ago. John Z. Madden refused
$125, 1000 for a, half interest In the Ken
tucky-bred stallion. Friar Rock, now
in the stud at Hamburg Place, near
Lexington.
Numerous other thoroughbred stall
lions and mares Of nearly. il not quite,
priceless value are owned in the State.
Wheat, corn and tobacco are often crop
failures, and cattle and hogs are
frequently raised at loss. But the
thoroughbred has a. great permanent
value, for nowhere else in this country
is he brought to such perfection as in
Kentucky, and his fame and the de-
mand for him are worldwide.

fleet. arrival OF which is expected on
or about next Thursday. September
/. when the oyster season comes in.
Although the wharf was not COM
pleted and opened for accommoda-
tion Of vessels until last September.
no less than 113 various types Of
craft. mostly oyster boats. made use
OF il up TO June 80. this year. the
end of the citys fiscal year. Cargoes
os oysters landed at the wharf
amounted in value TO S2S.7O0. A
minimum fee of 81 per day is
charged vessels for use OF the dock,
the fees ranging upward according
to the size OF the craft
This year. it is anticipated. there
will be a big increase both in the
number of boats using the wharf and
In the values of the cargoes brought
to the city. Numerous requests for
information concerning the dock
have been received by the Board OF
Harbor Commissioners from ship
ping firms and shippers Of river and
bay vessels.
The municipal wharf was built by
the Harbor Commission at cost of
a little less than 100000. II is 65

capable Of lifting 25 tons.
Some weeks ago a number OF
Delaware Bay and MauricL River
shippers went out 10 inspect the oy-
ster beds. They came back with the
report that the bivalves were IN ex-
cellent condition. Later reports
however. have It that there were toe
many mouths TO feed in the oyster
settlements this year and that the
primes. or large oysters, are cor
respondingly scanty. although there
are plenty OF well dispositioned ami
able small ones.
In order to settle this once and
for all another voyage is now beinl
made. Shippers and representatives
OF the dealers are going out over the
beds. coaxing q few hundred oysteri
out OF water. feeling their pulses
examining their throats, counting
their teeth and otherwise INSPECTING
them to determine what they ough
10 bring.
Prices for the forthcominh seasoI
will be based partly on this analysis
But in the long run, according q
dealers. the price Is fixed by th'
condition OF the oysters. At tn
close Of last season stewing oysetr
were selling Il from s1.5O to $1.7l
a hundred. while the rate for frie
was from 50 10 s2.50. Some hope j
expressed among the dealers that tn
price will average so cent a hundre'
