REAL HORSE POWER.
/ Machine that Transmits the Entire
Effort of the Animal.

II Is highly probable that no small
steam engine yields the power claimed
for it; even fewer horse powers do.
From the effort of the animal heavy
mechanism has heretofore subtracted
great portion of the power. and it has
remained for n Vermont firm to produce
an ideal horse power.
This rover is known as A. w. Gray g
song Horse Power. 1t is manufactured
at NiddlctoWn Springs, Vermont. 1t is
not new thing, but its later improve
mcnts are all new and all very valuable
insurinE lightncss with strength: ease OF
operation, with great durability; thor
ouehly coed construction, with low
price.
These powers are in general Use for
running thrcshcrs. wood saving mach
ines cream separators. churns, ensilage
cutters. cider mills, pumps etc, and for
like uses.
Tho mechanical devices and tho method
OF construction that makes the Gray
powers so very desirable are set out in
"A most interesting manner in the 1893 cat
1loCuo This catalogue treats the entire
subject in a very comprehensive man
ncr, going over the question of applied
power. effect on the animal, conditions
and results generally. Any ono that needs
power can i'll afford neglectng this book
Messrs A. w. Gray's Sors also man
ufacture threshers, wood-saw machines
onsilage cutters. etc. which are also
treated in this catalogue. Like their col
chrated power, these machines are Of the
very best construction, and have tn,
best labor saving attachments and de
vices.

power or machine may have the catalogue

CANNOT MOVE MONUMENT.
Trained Horses Necessary to Get e. \
Ar;hur's Monument to Its site.

St. Adams, July S.-Charles w. Smith
of Montpelier, who is in charge of the
transportation of the large granite die
which forms part of the monument be-
ing erected at Fairfield in honor of for
mer President Chester A. Arthur, was in
town this evening on his way back to
consult with Ex-Governor Stickney re-
gardng the moving of the stone from the
railroad At Sheldon to its resting place
in Fairfield. The big die, which is 6 by
by 4 feet in size ana weighs between
10 and II tons was successfully UNI
loaded from the cars and on the truck
wagon and with sixteen horses hitched
to it, was started for Fairfield. The
eight teams which of necessity were
picked up among the farmers and We're
not used to pulling together, succeeded
in moving the block Just 81 feet and
there it stuck. With the assistance of
blocks and tackle and several pairs Of
horses, Mr.. Smith was able to move the
die about 200 feet further on and out of
the way of travel, 1t now looks as though
several teams of horses, trained to the
work, will have to be brought from Mont
pclior or Barre, to haul the stone to its
final resting place.
