JACK AND JEYYET ASSOCIATION.

An association Of jack stock breeders
was organized in Nashville, last week.

While we have a common interest, |
trust we have come together for a

! 10 put on firm basis the Jack aud
= Jennet Association of America. This
Association has for its object the col
lection and publishing Of the pedigrees
Of jacks and jennets, under rules pre-
/ scribed by the Association.
This is q want that has long been
felt 10y progressive, enterprising breed
ers, but towards the accomplishment
of which nothing was ever done i'm
this country till ia September, 1883.
At that time few breeders met in
Springfield, Ill , and organized this
Association. In October of the same
year We met again 10 Chicago. Our
Secretary will, in his report, give you
the history OF these meetings. l regret
to say but little progress has been
made. The breeders are slow to take
hold and push this work Of such vital
importance 10 a successful conclusion.
view. They are working solely for the
upbuilding Of this stock. We feel that
no stock in our country is of equal
value. They are worth more per head
than any other class of stock, aud the
value Of no animal depends more on
his blOOd-Iines, and at the same time
there is no other breeding which is i'm
such absolute doubt. They have nothing
but neighbOrhOOd pedigree, which IS
entirely meaningless a few miles away
Only to-day / read IN 81. Louis paper
where Mr.. w. r. Allen, of that city,
had bought in the State Of California
thirteen horses, most of them one aud
two years Of age, paying therefor
SlO0, 600! Is it possible that this lot of
stock would have brought this amount
Of money had their breeding been
unknown? 1t was their bIoodlines
being thoroughly attested, and that,
too, Of the very best trOtting strains,
that made them command this price
1t is a well-k known fact ia stock breed
ing that like begets like in well-bred
stock. Is not fact that there is but
little likeness or similarity in jacks {?
This is the result, necessarily, OF the
want Of systematic breeding. Other
breeders Of live stock recognize the
value Of pedigrees even the breeders
OF sheep and hogs are no longer blind
ly trusting to luck. Tie horse mai
what shall we say Of him? He is
thoroughly awake aud abreast of the
times. ! am glad we have such intel
ligent, pushing gentlemen, who are
doing 50 nObly one half of our work.
They are making just the kind of
mares we want, out of which TO breed
any class Of mules that may be de-
manded. GentlenIan,- LET US wake up
and take advantage Of our opportuni-
ties and make the American jack what
he should be-the paternal ancestor
Of the best labor animal this, or any
other, country ever knew"

Mr.. HARRISON WALKS.


indianapolis Sentinel
The esteemed Journal appears very
much impressed with the fact that
Mr. Harrison takes "quiet, little

Ocratic structure of our Government

foreign representatives ard delegates

danger Of public demonstration" Is
il possible? As The Journal is an In
spired organ Of the Administration

has long been popular ia Washington
with the residents. The people who
parade in hacks are chiefly Office
seekers from Ohio.
Moreover there is nothing peculiarly
striking about the spectacle OF a medi-
um-sized gentleman walking peace-
fully down street. IL Mr.. Harrison
should walk down street on stills, or
even ride on a bicycle, he might re
ceive some notice, but plain, ordinary
walking counts for nothing even in a
cake walk. We would advise him to
