the substantial success to a greater degree, of late .years than Saline. It is
one of the many thriving .towns in

a good bank and two lumber yards.
Liberal provision has been made for
the education of the young, and in the
matter' of public worship it has four
churches, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Jjutherap. Jt is a most desirable place of residence. Rents are

MICHIGAN POULTRY FARM-
Thoroughbred Fqwls and Poultry
Supplies;.
As will be seen Saline is not pnly no<*
te(3 for its beautiful streets, its modern
residences, itg churches aDd well conducted public schools, and its rich farming country, but it is a*.so notecj. cpn?
spicuously for Us "lylipbigap Poultry
Farm," the excpllpnt reputation qf
which is knoy*;n j*.*! fiver tfef" TJflited

cannot praise top highly this well pon-
dqcted business whjph has dOBS ffifH'6
tq bring- our town into direct business
relations with the outside world than
any other institution in Michigan today.
It is in all respects an ideal poultry
farm,and its surroundings are pleasant.
It would be impossible in this .-ingle
article to relate all that has been said
in favor of it.
Twelve years ago what isnow "Michigan Poultry Farm" was a bare field.
During the past ten years it 'has developed, through the 'sturdy enterprise
and business foresight of its proprietor
Mr. George J. "Sissly," to be beyond all
doubt one of the' most complete/poultry
farms in the United* States. He has
transformed it'mtp a veritable gar.dep,
where chickens, fruits and f'o.we.rs.

dence, is a jnqdel pfitsjcinfl, and was
b,i(ilt undgr ti-je fiflinediate super vision
of 'Mr. Nissly, and are thoroughly
and modernly equipped and much originality is displayed in their equipment.
To become a successful breeder of fan-
cy poultry requires rpijQ^styd.y, special
talentj and, abqye all a natural adapta-
lipn to, the business. The success of
Mr. "fcfissly is due largely to, thg ab/"T§
qualities, clpse attention tQ t>"*"'ine'"s.
and equitable, fair dealing in aU trans-
For ten years Mr. Nissly has been
before the public as a breeder and dealer in poultry supplies and appliances
and has built up, undoubtedly, the
largest trade in this line of goods in
America. Previous to '93 he sold Jarge^
numbers of incubators arid'brooders of
eastern manufacture,'1 but' believing lie
could produce something in ^ha^ $ne,
whiph would1 possess ppiijts. pf syner-ipr:

the Mlaelrjg upqn $he market of his New
Amer-ioan Inoubator and Brooder on
which he was granted a patent, December 11th last. The merits of his
machines at once brought them in favor and their sale exceeded all expectation, it being impossible duriug the
past winter to supply the demand 'wifh,
the facilities for building them at his
command'. * He intends, hdwever to increase his facilitles'for manufacturJing
them,and with the fav.orable r.ep^tation
his machine has mage ".-ijie P,u,tPl"t ""fill

advertising and' annually spends fully
one thousand dollars for that purpose,
using mainly poultry and agricultural
journals as his mediums. He also issues annually a handsome catalogue p^
sixty or more pages, ten thp.u|sai'i,c| c.qp(-

who know him. He is methodical, enterprising, energetic apd fprernQstin

to stay, and the generous patronage accorded him by our peopleand the world
at large, shows the esteem in which he
is held.

THE JULY TROT.
DETROIT'S MONSTER MEETING.
Special correspondent: Detroit July
8th: One of the best posted horsemen
in America, at present in this city, on
being interviewed last night, expressed
his opinion that 1895 will witness the
most sensational performance ever
known to the harness world, and that
the 2:00 trotting mark will be reached
before winter. "I base my opinion,"
said he "on the extreme speed already,
exhibited. During the past two weeks
Robert J. has paced in 2:06, the juven-
ated Hal Polnte in 2:06J, last half 3:01i
last quarter :29. Fantasy has trotted
in 2:07, last half in l:01i and Alix in.
2:07f. The world's half mile track pacing record was twice fractured in June
by Angie D. 2:10i and Alvin Swift 2:101
and everything indicates that a most
sensational season is already upon us.
Fantasy beat Directum at Minneapolis
last week in 2:09—2:09—2:111 and I
predict that if these two and Alix meet
at Detroit the summary will average
four seconds faster.
Detroit The Great Trotting Centre.
"Speaking of Detroit, do you people
kno j? that it is fast becoming known as
the greatest trotting centre in America. Its geographical advantages, situated as it is, on the boundary line, renders its meetings international in character and the best horses and sportsmen of both countries meet on common
ground." "I understand that the Detroit Driving Club expended nearly
"58.000 this spring in rebuilding its
track, and now claims to have the best
and fastest track in America. I have
examined it carefully and watched the
winners break aud equal world's records over it last week, and believe the
extra S500 offered to each horse breaking the record for the 19 stakes and
purses oarded, is in considerable danger-.
Transportation Facilities Perfected.
I was agreeably surprised upon my arrival to find that the Association had
induced the electric railway people to
double track their road within fifty feet .
of the grand stand, and that things are
now sp arranged that nine thousand
people were hauled from the track to
mid city in twenty-five minute runs, inside of an hour and a half on July 4th.
This improvement, together with
the others makes it hard for me to
n ame a better track.".
The Monster Meeting July 22nd.
I have been inspecting the entries to
the great stakes already closed, and
while they alone insure a series of
great races such as is raVely seen, the
eleven "12000. Purses for the 2:06,2:11,
2:14, 2:17, 2:20 2:23 and 2:27 trotters,
and the 2:05, 2:10, 2:15 and 2:20 pacers,
which close to night, fill out a program
that will tie me in Detroit until the
Blue Ribbon trotting meeting of July
22nd to 27th, is a thing of the past.
The three year old trotting stake include Oakland Baron 2:14f, Boreal 2:17f
Pansy McGregor 2:17t, Buffington 2:20J
Derby Princess 2:loi, Lord of the Manor, Village Farm's phenomenal son of
Mamprilo King and Princess Chimes
and ten others, and will be a grand '
race. Tlje four year old trotting stake
includes the three stars of '64—Benzet-
ta 2:12i, Onoqua 2:1H, B. B. P; 2:13J,
Red Bud 2:14* Limonero 2:lof and Cut
Glass 2:17, trial 2:08, and this will certainly be one of the historic struggles
of the trotting turf. The §10,000.00 M
& M stake, the greatest all age harness race, the Epsom Derby of the
American trotter, will have fourteen of
the best in the lana to start, and as
they must be named tonight we will
soon know who is in line for the big
prize. Directly 2:07£, Judge Hurt 2:14i
Luella Shawham 2-7-0 trial 2:09, Theodore Skelton, brother to John R. Gentry and other good ones are in the 3
year old pace, and I hear that specials
Will probably be arranged which will
biing Robert J., Joe Patchen, Rubinstein Hal Dillard and other stars to the
post.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City,
UL was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for
her, but two bottlesof Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says
it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers,
139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered
from a dreadful cold, approaching consumption, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's
New discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. It is such results*'
of which these are samples, that prove the
wonderful efficacy of this medicine in
Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at
