4 Great R0iiP0dd Acc0nlpIish-
meut.

I On June LIST instant, all the railroads
in the South changed their five guage to
four feet and nine inches to suit the
guage of the northern, eastern and west
ern railroads. and the track is now mi
form throughout the United States -
SIXTEEN thousand miles of track were to
be changed, and of this it was proposed
to change II, 900 miles in one day-a
work that was easily accomplished
great as it undoubted was Now a
freight or passenger car may leave Port
land, Me-, San Francisco, Chicago, or
any other point, and traverse without
change Of trucks or bulk every mile If
railroad in this country to New Orleans,
Texas or Florida. As has been truth
fully said, this is in many respects the
most important railroad event, stipend
GUS in its physical features, that has
in this country. The agree
ment was made between the Southern
for the simultaneous change
at convention held in Atlanta last
February 5th.-The several companies
have since that time been preparing for
the new departure, which entails large
amount of work. The change of guage,
costing S75 to 500 mile, is not the
Target item. In fact, this will be insig-
nifcant, as compared with the expense
and revolution, in requiring every en-
CINE, passenger, mail, express, baggage,
aud freight car to be changed in guage.

Platform Scales Oh the Farm.

Upon farms of much size it is mat
ter of great convenience to have plat
form scales. The expense is not so
great as to prevent their general use,
and would be made up in IL little time
in the saving that might be made in
the sale of fat animals, especially
where they are sold on foot and to
butchers who are ready to use to add
vantage Il knowledge that their bust
ness gives them regarding the prOba-
BILE weight of animals. We remember
reading of Il farmer who had lambs to
sell, and having scales weighed some
of them. When the butcher came
and proposed buying them on foot he
offered Il price from one to two dollars
less than they were actually worth and
less than he gave for the same animals
which he finally purchased by the
pound. Where scales are ut hand it
does away with all guess work, and SO
prevents all frauds by purchasers.
Scales are also convenient for deter
mining the weight of animals during
feeding, weighing feed and determin-
ing the relative gain in condition from
the use of different kinds of feed.
They afford All opportunity of conduct
ing feeding experiments which if con-
tinued will be possessed of great value
in the economy of feeding. A pair of
scales even affords a means of educa-
tion.- Germantown Telegraph.

What Animals to Breed to Grow Rich.
The prospects for making money in
breeding and raising horses and mules
were never better than they are now.
Horses of all descriptions command
good prices. AS wealth increases in
large cities there is an increasing de-
mand for horses that will make fast
time on the racecOurse, for fine car
riage horses, and for riding horses.
The demand for heavy draught horses
for use on drays and transfer wagons
was never better. The demand for
middle weight horses is also good.
The increase of street car lines in all
large towns calls for a large number of
horses suitable for drawing cars.
Street railways make demand for
more horses than ordinary railways
ever displaced. At present prices
there is more money in draught ami
mails than in those raised for supply
ing meat. That such IL state of things
will continue for IL considerable time
seems likely. The demand for horses
in all countries increased us wealth
and civilization increase. Chicago

the most careless observers of nature /;
as an ornamental shrub it deserves a
place in every large collection, and as
fruit to furnish a pleasant acid in
cookery it is too important to be over
looked. When we can get the orna-
mental and useful combined in one
shrub, it has double claim to our at
tention. The barberry is very easily
produced from the seed and is often
very much improved when selection of
the best berries is made for planting.
No doubt but by continued selection of
the best specimens of fruit for planting
in time great improvement may be
made; in fact, when the attention of
the proper persons is called to the sub
ject no doubt all the wild fruits will be
improved so as to possess not only a
better flavor, but will be enlarged to

Although quite feeble physically, the organ
Of sight is comparatively little impaired and

Mr.. Huntington is native of Pennsyl-
vania and in his earlier days his vocation
was that Of teacher. He hauled goods from
Philadelphia to this and other towns in the
west.
While transiently stopping here-Spring-

Jacob Att, An Old Citizen, Dies Suddenly
From Heart Disease.
About six O'Clock last evening Jacob Alt.
who resided with his mother Oh Rice street.
was cut of from life without a moments
warning. He was apparently in the best of
health all day up to the time of
his death. He had gone to the pump
in the rear of the house for a
pail Of water and was returning
to the house with it. His brother. Dan Alt
was sitting at the window and saw him
drop to the ground when about half way
between the pump and the house. He at
once went out to see what was the matter,
and found, to his CONSERVATION. that life
was entirely extinct He was brought into
the house, where medical aid was sum-
moned. but it, of course. availed nothing. as
Mr.. Alt was dead probably before he fell
He had been complaining for some time of
a slight difficulty in breathing. but never
suspected that his trouble was in the least
serious.
Deceased was fifty-eight years old, and
has resided here for over twenty years. His
was that of a carpenter, and his
life has been such as to win the esteem and
warm admiration of all who knew him.
