Br.urrruL SxxrIMENT.--In his admir-
able speech at the opening OF the great
National Sanderfest in ST. Louis, on the
l4th ult.. Senator Carl Schurz expressed
the following beautiful sentiment:
Music is language which cannot be
translated into words. Every one may
understand it differently, but every SEN
slbie man understands it correctly for
himself. For this language every one
carries his own dictionary in his own
breast. In each one it calls up different
thoughts and awakens different sensa-
tions, but in all only good. An obscene
picture, or an obscene piece OF sculpture
may taint our fancy, but no one has ever
yet learned anything bad from music and
harmony. A melody may be accOmpa-
nied by bad words, but melody itself
without the words is innocent. Strip
the operas OF Offenbbach OF their text
and the music may appear meaningless,
but it speaks nothing evil. Music has
exalted many. 1t has never debased any
one, neither by it has any one ever been
mislt d into harm. 1t may excite the
feelings, and even infiame the passions,
but only the noble. Music is the purest
aud most virtuous Of all arts. 1t lifts us
from the yul,a up to the things far
above us. 1t is the voice OF the unutter-
able. the color OF the invisible. Its en-
ployment leaves no spot, and no regret
behind. In its impressions the pnresl
senslbilites of men are purified.
The music festival is therefore the no
blest, purest of oil popular festivals. Il
has drawn thousands upon thousands
to our decorated city, aud into this hall
Here nobody has come for his own sell
benefit. Here business jealousies are
silent. The voice o! selfishness is dumb
The little strife of parties in church ant

History of Shin of Beef.

Undoubtedly we Americans are the most

the globe. A Freuchnan or a German will
take the odds aud ends of an American
dinner table, when the family would aver
There was nothing left lit to eat, and in two

tIous meal than the original one which the
family discussed. Edibles of most kinds
are now quite cheap and none need 90 hun
cry. TINS is particularly the case with
meats OF all kinds. What il wanted is a
knowledge of cooking, and the patience and
industry to do it.
Most persons in cold weather like good
peel soup, but are people aware that ten
persons can make good and substantial
meal on shin or huff that will not cost
over forty cents. of course there must be
a small additional expense for potatoes and
other vegetables, but we assert that ten
persons can make palatable and substan-
ial meal, the whole cost Of which shall not
be over sixty cents. The writer makes a

Aisike Glover.

Our agricultural journals abound with
statements, in regard to the value of this
variety, which are generally decidedly in
its favor. SO far as we know, it has not
been tried to any extent in this vicinity,
but with the evidence before us, we should
think it would be good plan to give it
trial. Now is the time to make a move in
that direction. Here is the testimony of a
correspondent of the Maine Farmer:
AS have had some experience in raising
this valuable variety of clover, | thought
perhaps Il few statements of facts concern
ing it might be of benefit to the farmers of
Maine; especially at this time, when all
other grasses are in so poor a condition
and there Is so much more ground to seed
this spring than common. | have thirty
acres seeded to Alsike, and have cut it for
hay, saved for seed, and pastured it for five
years. | commenced with one-half acre the
first year. sowed on a moist piece of land
bordering or cedar swale. | raised one
hundred and twenty five pounds of seed the
first year; the second year | cut one and
half tons of hay on the same ground,
and had one hundred and sixty five pounds
of seed. | have saved the seed four years
last season the clover was as thick on the
ground as it was at the first. For hay all
kinds of stock prefer it to any other. Ny
neat, which are all thoroughbred Durhams
(and don't starVe them have eaten a large
part Of the straw this winter, after the seed
was threshed of, preterrin9 it to good red
clover and timothy hay well cured. The
stalk remains green after the seed is ripe,
and it does not lose so much as other
grasses, if it is not cut in season. 1t grows
quicker and comes to maturity earlier;
consequently is not so much affected by
drouth. | have ten acres of pasture; one
acre | considered worth as much as one and
a half Of any other pasture ground | ever
had My stock last season would leave
good feed in the other part of my pasture
and Craze on The Alsike as long as they
could get bit. 1t grows nearly as long
as our Aroostook or Pea vine colver but
much finer having more branches on the
stalk, more leaves and heads, and the
leaves and heads do not break off and
lose in curing as much as red clover.
The roots run very deep in the ground,
which prevents the frost throwing them out
and winter killing. The difference in ex-
pense OF seeding with Alsike is but trifle
as one pound will seed as much as two and
half OF red clover, the seed being much
finer. 1t wants to be sown after the grain
is narrowed in, and then the ground rolled
or bushed, as the seeds will not terminate
if they are put in very deep. | formerly
sowed twelve and a half pounds of red
clover, and four quarts of timothy to the
acre. | now sow five pounds of Alsike and
four quarts Of timothy, and get thicker
set OF grass. There will be large quantl-
ties of seed down this spring in this vicini-
ty, by farmers who have seen my success
in raising it, There is no humbug about it,
and farmers need not be afraid of it. 1t is
a success as far as | can learn, wherever it
has been cultivated both North and South

The Morgan Horse.

There has been much discussion as to the
origin of the Morgan horse, and vet we
have very little knowled ge on the subject
that is definite. What we do know is. that
about the beginning OF the nneteeth CEN
tury, man by the name of Justin Morgan.
whose life was somewhat checkered-turn-
ing his mlnd to farming one season, and
perhaps teaching school the neXt-owned a
little horse of wonderful nerve, a dark bay,
with black legs, name and tail, standing
fourteen hands high, and weighing about
nine hundred aud fifty pounds At this
time, Mr.. Morgan lived at Randolph, Vt,
and his horse had much local celebrity He
was a horse OF great power for one of his
inches, was fleet of foot, and was full of
resolution. lie was used chiefly under the
saddle, but was broken to harness.
1t was the custom to run him short races
on the country roads, and it is said that he
was never beaten in these contests. 1t was
also the custom to test his strength by
hitchtng him In front of heavy loads.
W here the horse came from aud what was
his breeding are questions that are largely
left to conjecture. There are many stories,
but we have learned to look upon them in
the light of tradition. If we could put faith
in common report, we should discover as
much romance in the life of the Goldolphin
Arabian. Where there is room for mystery,
there is also room for bright fancy sketches,
for rosy pictures of romance. The most
plausible theory, however, in regard to the
origin of the horse which is known in his
tory by the name of his Vermont owner,
Justin Morgan, is that advanced by Mr.
John Morgan, a relative of Justin'S. He
says that the horse was foaed in 1893 that
his sire was True Briton, by the imnorted
horse Traveller, and that his dam was of
the Wild Air breed. If this pedigree is
correct, Justin Morgan was we'll bred
horse OF course the pedigree is disputed
but as for that matter, no pedigree could
be given to the horse that would not be
open to objection. All the facts in his re-
markable career point to channel of pure
blood, and give the lie to the story that he
was a mongral, was of obscure origin. The
life Of the Justin Morgan was Il strange
one. 1t was his lot to labor as few horses
have neutrality-suspicious. in the excite
to revel at brief periods in the delight of
the stud, and, finally, to be neglected in his
old age, and to die, caused by kick in the
flank. Old and poor as he was, he mi ht
survived this injury had he received any
care; but he was exposed to the nclemency
OF northern winter, and Inflammation set
ting in, he lay down and died. 1t was in
the winter OF 1921, and on the farm of Chf-
ford Bean, about three miles south of the
village of Chelsea. VT, that the Justin
Morgan breathed his last.

St. PauI's.

The Churchmen of England are iubi-
pete the work of decorating the interior
of st. Paul's Cathedral The great archi-
tect, Sir Christopher Wren, went to his
grave sore at heart, at the age of ninety,
because his conceptions were not carried
out, and it has stood cool and bare for
nearly two hundred years, till happily
joyful event recently celebrated within it's
walls has supplied a stimulus which there
is little doubt will bring them to sue
cessful issue. The spot on Which the edi-
fee now stands is supposed to be the site
of an ancient temple dedicated by the
Romans to the Goddess Diana, though
some consider it to be the area of the
Roman Pretorlan camp. The first cathe-
dral was destroyed during the reign OF the
Emperor Diocletan, and is supposed to
have been rebuilt under the Emperor
Constantine, in the fourth century, when
Christianity became the acknowledged
religion Of the Roman Empire. 1t was
afterward destroyed by the Pagan Saxons,
but they restored it again when they en-
braced Christianity in the seventh century
and in G75 Erkenwald, the fourth Bishop
of London. expended large sums on the
editice, where it remained the admiration
of succeeding ages till the fatal destruc-
ton Of the whole fabric by fire in 961. 1t
was, however, Immediately rebuilt, and
hourished during the Saxon Heptarchy,
but in 1855 the cathedral, with the great
est part OF the city, was destroyed by
fire. Maurice, then Bishop of London, at
once set to work to build an ediice very
tar surprising its predecessors. 1t had
not long been completed, however, when
it was thought not sufficient. so it was
greatly enlarged and beautified, and in
1910 there was fresh conservation in the
presence Of the King, the Pope's Legate,
and large assemblage of the notabilities
of the realm. This building was dam
aged by lightning in 1444 and about one
hundred years atterWard another fire, sup.
posed to be from the same cause, destroy
ed the fine spire and the greater part of
the roof, but the damage was made good
by general contribution, headed by
Queen Elizabeth. The spire, however,
was not restored, as it was feared that the
damage done by the fire to the walls had
weakened them too much to bear its
weight. 1t was therefore concluded that
a general repair of the whole building
was necessary, which was carried into
effect by the assduity of Archbishop Laud
in the time of Charles l., but the steeple
and spire were left unhnished-the civil
war putting a stop to the design. The
Cromwellians converted the edifice into
stables. At the Restoration the whole
edifice was little better than a heap of
ruins; consequently it was resolved to
raze the foundations and to erect new
building from the designs of Wren. The
first stone of the new edifice was laid on
the 21st of June, 1875, and the building
was completed in 171O, at a total cost Of
81 ,556,0l0. Since then the whole pile
has remained in the midst of that mighty
city, little more than mere shell; but
now $5.O0O,0OO is required to put it in
thorough repair, which sum is asked for
as a thanksgiving offering to commem-
crate the restoration to health of the

Should Stock be Turned to Grass Early j?

There seems to be diversity of opinion
upon this subject. Some stock raisers for
butchering) turn their stock to grass during
the day as soon as it appears, sheltering
nights, until the grass is Of sufficient length
to afford all necessary nutriment; others
insist upon feeding to hay and grain until
the grass in the pastures is knee high, stat
ing that grass when short possesses but
little fattening properties, and by feeding
hay and grain for longer period, much
valuable manure is obtained
AS far as my observation has extended, |
would not advise turning stock to pasture
until most of the blades of grass were two
inches in height-for the reason that earlier
the soil is loose and soft by the action of
frost during the winter, that many roots of
the growing plants are injured by feet of
cattle, or pulled out of their insecure place
by animals which, in their greediness, bite
close to them, sooner to satiate their wants.
Many fields have been g. eatly damaged by
the turning on of stock before the soil be-
comes fairly settled.
