The seaboard Air Line Scores Another
Point.

The Seaboard Air Line has, for long time.
contended that as It could not get its sleepers
south of Atlanta and north Of Washington,
while other lines were allowed this privilege:
it should. there ore, be allowed differenttal
rate. This matter was taken up recently with
the Southeastern Passenger Association, the
Trunk Line Association and the Association
of Virginia and the Carolinas, and the Sea-
board Air Lines claim for differentials was
allowed.
The tariffs just published by the above asso-
Citations show standard rates by all ines be-
tween the North and South, as vel! as the
differentia, rate via the Seaboard Air Line,
which rate Is 50 less than that shown by other
lines. The standard rate between New York
and Atlanta is S2i; the difrerential rate via
the Seaboard Air Line is 81; the rate between
Washington and Atlanta is Sl7.5O, the differ
entail rate via the Seaboard Air Line Is $3.50.
This differenttal applies between all fmpor-
tant cities in the Southeastern Passenger As
socistion's territory, the Trunk Association
territory.
The Sesboard Air Line now has the matter
up with the New England Passenger Assocts-
ton, looking to the publishing of these differ
enti rates in their tariffs. AS soon as this Is
granted It Is understood that the Seaboard Air
will then 90 to the Mississippi Passenger As

land grass-grass everywhere tbas
grass will grow and not interfere with
the crops. Every farm should have
it, for every farmer needs it.
Natures own covering for the earth,
the verdant grass, is the greatest labor
saver on the farm. It is the farmers
best friend. Grass, herbs, roots
those things that flourish with the
least cult;vation-should be put
wherever the cultivator is not needed.
Every farm animal, including the
poultry, eats grass. 1t is a crop thai
can be utilized without harvesting,
and it can be maintained for years
without reseeding, by the application
of top dressing of some good fertil-
izer in the weak spots. Some sections
of the pasture will not need 1t.
One of the greatest stock farms in
Tennessee is carried on, year after
year, with scarcely the turning OF q
furrow. There are pastures for the
cattle Gnd pastures for the horses,
aud care is taken to maintain them.
The value of grass run for fowls is
not fully understood by many keepers
of poultry. In proportion to her size
the hen eats more grass than the COW,
as fully one-third of her food may con-
sist of grass and tender sprouts. And
o hen never looks better, nor lays
more, than when she has access to o
nice grassy run.
In some sections, where the country
is thickly settled and fenced up, with
nothing but the lanes and the roadside
for the COWS to browse over when
turned out, o good, we'll fertilized
home meadow, even though small,
would be of great value. Better have
grass in the fence corners and along
the streams, and on thrown-out
patches of land than noxious weeds,
that by their seeds, which the winds
scatter over the fields, cause the
farmer additional work and worry.
1t pays to get grass seed mixtures,
such as all seedsmen put up, and seed
the odd corners, and so crowd out the
weeds with something that will add to

the value and the looks OF the farm,
American Agriculturist.
The raturc OF the Horse Industry.


Many horse breeders ere led to be-
lieve that present low prices will con-
tinue almost indefinitely, writes o. j.
Vine, of Ohio. 70 imagine that horse
raising will never prove remunerative,
or that horses will never again bring
good prices, is in my opinion great
mistake. The farmer must nave his
horses. The mature horse on the
farm to-day need have little fear Of his
being displaced by machinery. No
motor of auy kind will give the same
satisfaction under all circumstances
that good team will, at al equal cost.
Steam has been t-iedas motive power
in plowing on large scale, but it has
never come into general use. Electri-
city cannot be used on the farm until
perfect storage battery is invented.
Electricity will do very well for pro-
pelling rect ca-s on the: smooth,
solid tracks, where each successive trip
is made ore. exactly the same route.
On the farm it would be quito differ
ent. The bicycle has undoubtedly
taken the place of many horses, but
not to the extent generally supposed.
Because horses are cheap now, is no
reason why they should remain SO.
Any other branch of the live stock
market fiuctuates with the supply end
demand. Because the horse market
has been away down for several years,
is one of the best of reasons for pre-
dieting an upward turn before long,
and horses will then be as high as they
are low now. Horses will become
scarce as we'll as other stock. They
are certainly scarce in our section now.
Very few strictly good marketable
horses can be found. Farmers quit
breeding years ago. It did not pay;
horses could be bought for less money
than it cost to raise them. The sup
ply has been cut off at both ends.
There are several classes of horses
that are bringing good prices now, and
will so continue in spite of steam, cleo
tricity or bicycles. The extra heavy
draft horse and the fancy coach or
driving horse will continue to be in
demand for the next century at least.
The supply of horses that will mature
and be marketable in 1900 is very
small indeed. The farmer who owns
O good brood mare or two can very
profitably turn his attention to raising
good horses. In order to raise good
ones, he must breed o finely built,
sound mare to an equally well built
and sound sire. Constitutional and
structural defects are largely heredi-
tary, and should be carefully avoided.

Bullet Holes in church Doors.

The removal of thick incrustations of
dirt and varnish from the old wood
work above the outer central doors of
the northern porch of Westminster
Abbey, prior to polishing up for Easter,
shows that the wood is thickly pene-
trated with a great quantity of small
shot, and bears bullet marks. The old
doors beneath were removed about
three years ago to admit of a freer
method of egress, and they were riddled
in similar manner. The Abbey work.
men engaged in cleaning the wood
work say it is four or five hundred
years old. 1t is very thick oak and is
studded with large iron bolt-headed
nails, and it and the old doors have fill
ed a space about fifteen feet in height
by seven feet in width.
The oaken doors of the Church of st.
Clement Danes in the Strand have
been riddled in much the same manner.
Surmise can only be ventured upon to
account for these strange marks on the
old doors of ecclesiastical edifices,
many of which were sanctuaries. From
the earliest Saxon times the sanctuary
of Westminster-or as Stowe calls it,
1.-THE Abbey Church Sanctuary" which
he specified as "the church, church
yard, close, &c" formed a place of
refuge for offenders of all kinds, until
1t was suppressed, with all other sane
tuaries, in the reign of James 1. "But
the right of asylum" says Dean Stan
ley, rendered the whole precinct
vast Cave of Adullam' for all the dis
tressed and disconnected of the metrop-
oils who desired, according to the
phrase of the time, to take Westmin-
ster. Sometimes, if they we're of high
er rank, they established their quarters
IN the great northern porch of the Alb
hey, with tents pitched and guards
watching round, for days and nights
together. Sometimes they darted away
from their captors to secure the mo-
mentary protection of the consecrated
ground" Thus some of the nimble-
footed ones occasionally lost their lives,
and perhaps now and then little lead
that was meant for them went astray.
Long after the suppression the neigh
borhood of the Abbey was a hotbed of
iniquity and vice, and it may be that
during this period, If not before it, the
woodwork of the northern porch suf-
fered from oyer-free firing.
