QUARTERLY COURT.

Monday week will be our regular
quarterly term at which the taxes will
be assessed and appropriations made
for public schools, roads and other
county purposes. No doubt the Court
will make such assessments and ap.
preparations as they deem proper for
the good of the county. The county,
financially and otherwise, is in a
healthy condition, and in its appropria,
ton tor schools, roads, and other pub
lie enterprises should be reasonably
liberal, especially for public roads and
public schools. The highest amount
for public roads is 15c, all Of which it
will require with a reasonable number
of days work, to grade up and fill up
the mud holes SO as to make the roads
elevated in the center and drain the
water on each side and not allow the
first hard rain that falls, after working
the roads, to wash the fresh dirt away.
1t is economy to elevate the center Of
the road in the early fall so as to be.
come we'll settled before the fall rains
and winter freezes come on. 1t will
take fully Is cents tax to do the work
as it should be done. There are road
machines made specially for road max
ing, which greatly facilitate the work,
and if not too expensive the county
might purchase few of them to facil
tate the work. If we can't have pixies
now, let us have the advantage Of
graded roads, or as near to them as We
ran.

duce peas. We turned it in the latter
part of summer with two horses, leav-
ing the roots of the sedge exposed to
the hot sun, and afterwards exposed
to the winter frosts. About February
We plowed it with one>horse turning
plows and followed with one bushel
of oats and $50 pounds of Homestead
fertilizer per acre, sown broad cast.
These were we'll narrowed in, and af.
ter narrowed about one.tenth of a
bushel of clover seed per acre. The
season was favorable, and a pretty
good crop of oats and good stand of
clover was the result. We moved the
oats when they began to ripen for hay.
The second year we cut the best spots
for hay, allowing the second crop to go
to seed and remain on the ground.
We intended to pillow under and SOW
rye last fall, but before we were ready
the ground became dry and hard and
we did not pillow it. The clover is COM
ing nicely and has possession, while
scarcely any sedge grass can be seen on
the ground. We will NOW the best for
hay if It gets large enough, and after
it goes to seed we will pillow it under in
the fall, SOW rye or winter oats and
about $50 pounds Of Homestead ferti-
ger, and if the seasons are favorable,
will expect an ample return for all our
expense and trouble. We are putting
our entire little poor farm in clover
this spring, BELIEVING it Gag be made to
take the place of sedge, white top and
saw brlers, and not only get rid of
these pests and improve the land, but
at the same time keep the barn full of
nice sweet hay for our Jerseys. We
have determined to subdue the sedge.
How many of our readers will deter
mine to do likewise p?

LARGE HORSES.

Apropos of the effort now being
made to introduce a stock of large
horses into this section, the following
article from the Nashville American of
the 25th, may prove of interest in
showing some of the capabilities of
large stock:
Mr.. T. ]. Henley, of Sumner coun-
ty, brought a Percheron horse to this
city yesterday, sixteen and half
hands high, seyen years old and weigh
ing about 100 pounds. With one ex-
ception he is, perhaps, the largest horse
in Davidson county. The exception is
his mate, Prince. He was purchased
by the Board of Public Works yester-
day as a match for Prince, beautiful
dapple gray about an inch taller than
Dave, the Sumner county horse.
Prince is the horse that until yesterday
was used to draw the hose cart of the
College Hill Engine. He skipped
along as merrily with this heavy wagon
supplemented by the weight Of driver
and another man as if he was in a
trotting sulkey. Dave is of that gray
color common to Percheron horses, and
his back is so broad that bareback
rider would not need a pad to dance on
it. He cost the city $500. About 5
o'clock yesterday evening the grays
were hitched to the James Geddes fire
engine (weight 10000 pounds) and
when the gong struck they danced out
of the house with this huge crane neck
engine like Small Hopes and Lady
Mack with Mr.. William H. Wander
bilts light buggy. They pirouetted
and pranced around the courthouse and
up and down North Market street like
colts on their way to the pasture, the
driver having all he could do to hold
them. He turned the engine around
in its tracks near the Louisville depot,
and Prince and the Percheron galloped
upthe hill to the square with the engine
and three men on it. Everybody who
saw the turnout was struck with the
beauty of the horses, the machine, and
the way it was driven.
