Tho American Coach Horse.


National Stockman thinks it is mis-
homer to adopt this name for tho larger
horses now brought forward for market
by breeders of trotting stock. 1t leads
to confusion of names. The coach class
is name that belongs to such horses as
the best French coachers and Cleveland
bays represent. The overgrown trotter
or large sized trotting bred horse ap-
proaches them closely in size, but is a
horse of a different type and very diff
ferent step. He is By breeding, con-
formity and inclination trotter, and
the coach step is but an artificial one to
him. Rather it is to his advantage. In
stead of being coach horse he is car
riage horse, and there is big place for
him to fill. Call them carriage horses
and demand class for them. Let the
coachers have the place that belongs to
them and which they fill so well.

The name of P. S. Gilmore is associ-
ated with several of tho most gigantic
musical events which have been at
tempted in this country. At the close of
the war he originated and carried to a
successful conclusion the great American
peace jubilee of 1859, which was held in
Boston. This production included band
of 900 pieces and chorus of 10000
voices, which was supplemented by the
roar Of a park OF cannon and the clash
of 100 anvils, uniting to make such music
as had never before been heard in this
country. 1t was an unequiyocal success,
but Gilmore, not satisfied with this, con-
ceived the worlds peace jubilee of 1872,
also held in Boston. In this the chorus,
organized in the different states to be
united at the jubilee, numbered 10000
voices, the band was increased to $500
musicians, and the preparations were in
every way upon a grander scale. This
is said to be the largest and grandest
musical festival ever held, and Gilmore
scored his second triumph before an audi
ence of 100000 people. whom buildings
had been especially erected to accommo-
date.-Chicago Herald.

Gra..e. Cor . Permanent Meadow.

The most essential requisite for success
In seeding meadow, says Country Cen
tleman, is to place the soil in the best
condition for the termination and early
growth of the grass. by sufficient top
dressing to render the surface soil mel
low and moist. The most immediate re-
suits will be obtained from mixture Of
red clover, meadow oat and orchard
grass. and later in the season from tim
othy, red top, Italian rye grass, meadow
feseue and Kentucky blue grass, or a
part Of these. II the ground is moist
alsike clover may be added. Clover and
timothy give fine heavy crops for a time,
but as they soon run out, it is well to
add several other of the best grasses, not
only for the additional crop which they
viii furnish, but for the protection af-
forded to the roots Of timothy and clover
against the severity of winter.

Returning from Chattanooga on Satur-

Returning from Chattanooga on Satur-
day evening after having been there
about twenty-four hours, I spent the
Sabbath in the city of Nashville. Nash
vile, the capital of Tennessee, a city OF
perhaps 100000 inhabitants. is beautifully
located on a series of hills on either side
of the Cumberland River; here can be
seen all the evidences of thrift and en-
| terprise that can be found in our most
prosperous northern cities. Churches,
schools, and factories are numerous and
in thriving condition, electric cars and
dummy lines quickly and cheaply carry
passengers to all parts of the city beau
tiful parks and delightful drives are to
be found in every direction.
Nashville was the home of President
James K. Polk, and is, at present, the
home of his distinguished widow. A
grasp of her hand, and few words so
kindly spoken by this aged lady, carry
one, in imagination, back to the days of
Clay, Webster and Calhoun.
The hotels having been considered in
sufficient to, accommodate all of the
teachers who would attend the Associa-
ton, many private families, representa-
tives of the various churches of the city,
opened their doors to the visitors. l was
assigned to the home of Major I. P.
Weakley of Tulip Street M. E. Church.
Prof. Stoves of Trenton, New Jersey, was
my roommate. Major Weakley lives in
an elegant suburban residence, sur
rounded by lawn somewhat similar
to that in front of the Faulkner mansion,
with the exception that the trees instead
of being of different varieties, are all
stately oaks. The Major is never too
busy to be obliging. and his family
barouche was always at hand when Prof.
Stoves and / were IN need of a convey
ance. To give you better idea Of what
southern hospitality really means, after
the Association was over, we were re-
garded as Major Weakley's guests, were
driven by him to the various points of
interest in and about the city, and en-
joyed, without expense, all the comforts
of his palatial home.

on Wednesday, July "a, having been
gone just ten days. and having been

Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama & Georgia. A few more weeks
of rest and recreation and my vacation
will have come to an end. | trust that
the Educational Association may have
been so profitable to me that my teach

The failure of the dry goods

The failure of the dry goods firm
of Lewis Brothers & Co., Phila., for
over iour millions, shook up the
Eastern markets considerably. An
agreeable feature, however. is that
all the banks involved will be paid in
full and the financial world will not
suffer. The failure was an echo OF
the great Conemaugh flood, the firm
having many customers in Johns
town.

BAITIMORE's GREAT DISPLAY
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
decided upon the designs for its repre-
sentation in the September parade,
and approved those submitted by
Major j. G. Panghorn, as marshal of
the railroad and steamboat division
They will have series of floats of a
decidedly interesting character, and
they will be quite large, some of them
exceeding forty feet in length. Full
sized and complete representation of
the first railway passenger coach, and
Mr.. Galloway, who drove the old
coach between this place and Fred
erick, will ride in the parade. The
sail car, the treadmill car, the adapt.
ed Concord coach or double decker,
the Cooper and Crab engines, will
also be shown, and the company will
turn out large force of its employees
in uniform. Mr.. O'Brien who built
the Oriole pageant, will construct the
Is. & o. floats, and has the order to
have heen submitted to the Western
Maryland for fine float, but no de-
cision has been made as yet. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has plans IN
der consideration, and will make an
imposing display. The steamboat
people will probably combine and
make an interesting showing of the
Chesapeake bay suggestions. The
steamboat people also contemplate
combining and being represented in
fine style. All the street car lines
will take part, and the traction COM
pany will show full-rigged cable car,
and there will also be electric cars
shown. The South Baltimore Car
Works will build car on the line of
march, using two very large plat
form floats, one for the woodwork
and the other for the wheels, trucks,
&c. Both express companies will
take part, the Adams having already
commenced its float.

ArrIoultural E,perimen. stations.


The attention of our readers is called
to the fact that the state experiment sta
tions issue bulletins in which are given
reports of experiments carried on, and
other matters of general interest. These
bulletins are sent free to all who apply
for them In the state where located.
That farmers derive peneflt from these
bulletins there is no question, hence those
who have not already made written APP
plication to their state station are adj
vised to send their address without fur
Their delay.
AT the various stations experts are en-
ployed in entomology, botany, chem
istry, etc., for the purpose of solving the
many questions that are continually aris-
ing in these varied departments. Farm
ers have the privilege of sending to their
own state stations for Identification and
inspection specimens of insect pests,
plants, ores and doubtful fertilizers.
Care, however, ought to be taken not to
abuse this privilege. Specimens should
be properly protected. SO as to reach the

munications written to the point and

Blessed = the man who sees the royal splendcr

Blessed 3 che man who sees the royal spleudor
Hid " the landscape, though the thick fogs
roll,
Whose heart by Love is kept so warm and tender
That fogs or tempests never reach his soul
The fowery hills and dales are robbed OF beauty,
Earth Is desert with no fertile spot
To him whose life has only toll and duty,
To whose lone hearthstone sweet love cometh
not.
His home may be palace; yet he loses
The sweetest treasure that life can impart,
Success or failure comes as each one chooses
Whether his wealth shall be Of purse or heart
Love and contentment, gaa9ness, hopes ethereal,
To the possessor give the greatest wealth;
For gold becomes a curse, and all material
That robs US Of our birthright Heaven and
health.
Blessed Is the man whose happy soul hath risen
From the dead plane ofsense, through faith and
trust;
Blessed Is the man whom Love hath led from
prison
Where life is-heart to heart, not dust to dust.

Special Purpose Poultry for sfarket-Gen-
eral Purpose Breeds for Homo Use-For
Best Results In Poultry a Regular Sys-
tenn Must Be Observed
There is perhaps no business in regard
to which opinions differ more than in
poultry raising. Some assertthat it does
not pay; others have found poultry one
of the most profitable of crops Many
failures come about by the lack of sys-
tenn on which the poultry yard is run.
When hens are kept merely for the meat
and eggs required for home consump-
ton, what is termed common purpose
fowl is wanted-a breed the birds of
which are fairly good layers and table
fowls. In limited yards, when it is de-
sired to have such poultry there as are
both fair layers and good table fowls,
the selection may be made from such
breeds as Plymouth Rocks and Lang
shans, for instance.
Poultrymen, however, who devote
large space and much time to the bust
ness, for market purposes, are, as a
rule, most successful when they raise
what is termed Especial purposea poul-
try. The man who adopts the special
purpose plan decides at the beginning
which branch or branches of the bust
ness offer the greatest inducements, and
devotes himself to those. By having
special object in view every margin of
profit can be estimated and saved. If
he "goes in" for egg production he
should choose non-setting breeds, such
as Leghorn and kindred varieties; he
must plan to have his hens laying when
eggs sell for the highest price; he must
find the best market, and provide him
self with the best facilities for shipping;
must see that the eggs, if sold in large
lots, are carefully sorted according to
sizes and colors.
1t will pay to have his hens laying in
the winter time when eggs are high, but
a good many things besides hens are
necessary to bring about that result. He
must have special houses that will be
snug, warm, light and, above all, clean
for his hens to winter in. He must have
clean and extended runs in summer time
and he must also provide to the laying
hens suitable food. Remembering that
early pullets make winter layers. he is
careful to raise plenty of these.
When the demand is for dressed fowls,
those breeds of poultry which are espe-
cially characterized for their table quail
ties are in order. At the head of this
list, so far as quality of flesh is concern
ed, come the game variety, though these
are too small for ordinary market pur.
poses. Then comes La Fleche, Dorkings,
Houdans, Langshans, Plymouth Rocks
and Others,
