IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ENGLISH.
Enmnrth Hernld

The number of educated persons who write
poor English is appalling. If you are inclined
to doubt that statement just examine the
manuscript which comes to any editors table
during any given week. The result of such
an examination would convince you that no
part of the education of young people is so
much neglected,
For instance, here is a manuscript from
graduate of one of our large universities which
contains no less than six glaring rhetorical er-
rors An alumnus of a university and at
present student at postgraduate institution,
interchanges the pronouns "I'' and 1--WE" lin
referring to HIMSELF four times in one para
graph. The teacher of English literature and
rhetoric in Western college spells two simple
words incorrectly in the opening paragraph of
her contribution. An eminent minister, q
college graduate, and man with reputation
for scholarly attachments mixed his meta
phors to such degree that we were compelled
to rewrite portion of his article to render it
Ineligible. Each of these persons had spent
several years in studying physics and philoso-
ply, but had neglected to give adequate atten-
ton to common English
Our colleges are making a great mistake in
this matter. And our preparatory and high
schools are as much at fault. 1t is shame to
graduate young person from one of these
schools without the most thorough drilling in
English. To write our language correctly,
concisely. forcibly, is an accomplishment
which every girl and boy should covet No
one should be permitted to enter college with
out it. No amount of higher education"
will compensate for lack here. Indeed. the
higher the education built upon superficial
mastery of the elements of English, the worse
for the person who possesses it.
By the mastery of English we do not mean
mere ability to write with technical correct
ness. We mean ability to put short words
into short sentences. We mean capacity for
superlative directness. We mean the power
of pungency. Three-fourths of the articles
which are returned to contributors by The
Epocorth Herald go back because of the lack of

The Profits of Farming.


1t is idle to say that farming does not pay.
All men are not liars and fools, and the farm
ers of America least of all. They continue to
farm and pay for their land out of its products,
and to buy more land, and to buy stock, and
make more comfortable homes and-to educate
their children above theirinheritance in schools
that help to enforce the silly fiction that farm
ing is the poorest of trades A census bulletin
issued recently shows that the gross income of
farms in Kentucky in 1885, the year preced-
ing the census, was over 81 per cent That
figure is exclusive of animal produce-theS $780,
600 race horses and 500 Jersey calves 1t re-
lates solely to the ordinary agricultural pro-
duce of the farms of the State after deducting
the value of crops consumed on the farms.
Can it be said with any show of reason that
business so original and independent as farm
ing and that brings 81 per cent. on the total
investment annually is a failure Is it not
better than railway stocks and bonds at per
cent. return Or factory stocks at 6 to per
cent dividends? Or trust stocks at 10 per cent?
Or United States bonds at per cent. ? We
need only produce the figures and they tell
the story in terms that cannot be contradicted.
The wise. thrifty, economical farmer of Amer
lea has the world by the throat, and if q per
cent. income per annum does not satisfy his
ideas of profit, he can make the world pay
more

A Ring With a Historv.

A dispatch from Redding, California, says !:
"Miss Florence Burnett, of New York, is in
in Eastern Shasta to visit friends Miss Bur-
nett wears small gold band ring on the inside

Proper stabline for Horses.

The Farm Journal gives some points of
value to be observed in caring for mans best
friend on the farm: The use and value of
farm horses are often seriously impaired by
lack of proper stabling. They are crowded in
filthy, ilventilated stables, the air so bad from
the damp urinesoaked floors that the harness
is rotted by it. The eyes and lungs and gen.
eral health are injured and disease of some
kind is sure to follow.
A side light strains the eye unequally. The
light should come in the stable from the front,
and the windows should be lime washed to
mellow the light. A stable should never be
dark.
The stable should he well ventilated, but so
carefully that no draft can possibly touch a
warm horse A draft on horse warm from
work or driving will be sure to ruin him.
Do not feed from a rack overhead, as the
dust from the hay is apt to be breathed and is
not good for the lungs. A deep manger is
best. A wide manger for the grain is best, so
the grain can be scattered to prevent boiling.
The stalls should be feet wide. horse
cannot rest in a narrower one and in wider
one he might roll and get fast. Look out that
the slight settling of the barn does not cause
the stall floors to slope toward the managers.

A Famous Stallion Burned.
Co,.ntru Gentleman.


We regret to learn of the burning of the
stables at Erdenheim, near Philadelphia, Pa,
June 9TH, and the loss of the famous America
Arab stallion Kasim, owned by T. G. Patter-
son. Manager McCloskey and his men at
great risk to themselves, got Kasim and the
125 horses out of the burning barns, closed
the doors. and turned the horses up lane,
while they gave attention to the cow stables.
Some stupid person opened the doors of
the big barn and Kasim and three other
horses dashed in to their stalls and to their
death. Kasim was formerly known as Abdul
Hamid w. and was bred by Randolph Hun
tington of Long Island, N. Y. Erdenheim,
now owned by Robert N. Carson street
railway man, is famous in turf annals. Iro-
quois (which captured the English Derby,)
bennington and Rysdyk were born there.
Flora Temple is buried there, and three of her
foals were dropped there. James McClosky
has managed the breeding department of the
farm for thirty years

Farmers Discuss Farm Buildings.-At
the last meeting of the Fallston Farmers Club
the subject discussed was: New buildings and
the way to construct them" We append the
views of some of the members: i
d. P. Hollingsworth said 1.-THE new build
ings that | have erected have been a great
benefit to the farm, both in breaking off the
wind from the barnyard and furnishing COM
Portable shelter for the stock. believe in
putting up cheap buildings that is, by hay!
ing foundation of posts set in the ground
and paper cover roof. l do not like iron
roofs Paper roofing must be kept well COW
cred with pitch and not put on steep roofs"
William Preston said: II do not believe in
paper roofs and cannot see why they are called
cheap, owing to lack of endurance and the
amount of work necessary to keep them in
good condition. l believe in stone founda-
tions. l would rather do with fewer build
ings and put them up in substantial manner"
Walter P. Reckord said: 81 do not believe
any roof is worth putting on but good slate
or shingle roof. believe in keeping wagons
and carriages on the ground floor, as it pre-
vents certain amount of drying out"
H. G. Preston said 81 am in favor of hav-
ing as few buildings as possible. as there is
annually more or less expense in keeping them
in repair. believe in having sufficient build
ings, in keeping things well housed, and pre-.
fer having substantial ones"
j. B. Twining said: II agree with Mr.. Pres
ton in having all farming implements well
housed, but as a large number of buildings
only increase the taxes, l believe in having
only the ones which are used for the purposes
above mentioned"
]. o. Watson said 81 am in favor of hav-
ing sufficient buildings for keeping all ma
chinery necessary on farm we'll housed but
owing to the increase of taxes and danger of
fire, I believe in having them few and far be-
tween"

Suicide of an Army Ofhcer-nl Health
the Cause.-Messrs. Samuel NJ. and Edward
Shoemaker, of Green Spring Valley went to
West Point, N. Y, on Monday last to attend
the funeral of their brother-in-law, Lieutenant
Colonel Charles Ridgely Barnett of the Quar-
termasters Department, U. s. A., who COM
mitted suicide on July 9Th at the Battle Creek
Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich. by jumping
from fire escape. He had suffered from i'll
health for many years and in March last OBJ
tanned leave of absence in order to try the
treatment at the sanitarium.
Colonel Barnett was born in Missouri in
1874, and was appointed cadet at the West
Point Military Academy from Kentucky on
September 1, 1864. He was graduated June 49,
1868, and appointed second lieutenant and
assigned to the Fifth Artillery, with which
regiment he served at various stations on the
Atlantic coast, including Fort McHenry. In
1881 he was appointed captain and quarter
master, and served in that department at va
raious depots, the last important service hav-
ing been at st. Louis Mo-, where hewas depot
quartermaster.
During Colonel Rarnett's (then Lieutenant
Barnett) tour of duty at Fort Henry he met
Miss Sallie Shoemaker, daughter of the late
Samuel NJ. Shoemaker, and their wedding.
which occurred in January, 1878, was one of
the brilliant social events of that period, being
attended by Ex-Presdent and Mrs. Grant and
large contingent of Washington society peo-
pie, as well as all of representative Baltimore
society.

by three children-Mrs. Freeman, of New
York city; Mr.. Charles r. Barnett, who is
of Philadelphia After the funeral Mr.. Sam.

Hearing Exceptions to a Sale of Real
Estate.-Judge Fowler was engaged several
days this week in listening to testimony and
arguments in the matter of the exceptions to
the sale of the real estate in the trust matter of
Charles E. R. Goodwin, made by the trustees
Messrs. o. l. Yellott and R. H Bussey. The
exceptions were filed by John o. P McShane,
an infant, by William NJ and Emeline P. Nc
Shane, his parents, and alleged as reasons
why the sale should stand that the property
was sold for grossly inadequate price that
the trustees sold it at time of the year when
lit could not be sold to advantage; that it was
linsuficiently advertised, and for other reasons.
Judge Fowler held the case sub curia. The
property in question was purchased by Mr.. s.
Davies Warfeld, of Baltimore.
