ppacnliarly fortunate in receiving the APP

MARKING BALLOTS
Important Decision Made in the
State Of Michigan.
AFFECTS METHOD OF VOTING

The Supreme Court of That state Holds
That One Mark is sufficient. and That
IA Second Distinguishing One is IL
legal Under the Law.
LANSING, Mich, November 10.-The
Supreme Court to-day handed down a
most important decision affecting the
present method of voting. On the ques-
ton of what constitutes distinguishing
mark on a ballot, which mark is pro-
hibited by law, the court unanimously
held that any mark other than the sin
gle one appropriate to designate the in
tention Of voter is Il distinguishing
mark. The case was brought in the con
testing of the rights to office OF two local
candidates at Bay City, who were osten-
sibly elected at a spring election a year
and half ago. BY the decision both
are ousted from office. The effect of
this decision will be far-reaching.
The court holds that if, two tickets
on an official ballot are identical, the
marking of a cross over each is illegal.
| Also that to mark a cross over any ticket
and then before each name on such ticket
or placing a cross before the name of a
candidate and then erasing the name Of
his opponent on another ticket is illegal.
In substance the opinion holds that a
single mark in vote is sufficient to in
dictate the voters intention, and a sec
ond mark might be agreed upon as q
means of Identification. 1t has been the
practice OF election inspectors to count
all such doubly marked ballots, so that
under this decision any of the elections
held under the Australian system may,
| it is believed, be contested.

STOCK NOTES.

The best pays in all things pertaining
to stock
Clean stables have much to do with
success in butter-makiDg.
Pumpkin on the half shelf is not as
good as pumpkin hashed " for stock.
Better breeding and handling have
made the average fleece weigh more than
it did twenty years ago.
Wheat is rich in nutriment, and at
present prices is good and cheap feed
for horses. Use it mixed with other
food.
Have the hogs ready to sell off before
very cold weather, excepting the breed
ing stock and such as are needed for
home use.
See that the pasture fences are all
right just now. Many a good beast has
been lost because a poor fence let it into
the corn field.
Keep supply of salt, charcoal and
ashes for hogs, where they can help
themselves, especially when crowding
with a full corn ration.
The greater the attention paid to sup
plying the markets with well-fed ami
mails OF the best mutton brand the more
popular mutton food will become.
