One Of the Possibilities.

The number Of votes in the cleo
toral college is now four hundred and
fortv-seven. To choose a President
and Vice-President through the ac'
ton of the electoral college the Con
stitution requires that the successful
candidates shall receive a majority
of all the votes, which this year is
two hundred and twenty-four.
The larger the number of candi
dates balloted for, the greater is the
possibility that no one Of them may
receive the required number of votes
Politicians are now giving some con
sideration to the question what would
happen if the electoral college should
fail to elect, and the duty of choos
ing a President from the three can
didates standing highest on the list
should devolve upon the House Of
Representatives.
It has occurred only twice in Oul
history that the House has been
called upon to elect President.
The first occasion was after the
election of 1900, under the original
provision of the Constitution, which
directed each electOr to vote for two
candidates without declaring which
ofthe two was voted Tor as President
and III all as vice-President. Mr.
~qw littIon and Mr.. Burr had each sew,
enty-three votes. The House elected
Mr.. Jefferson President and Mr.
Burr vice-President.
The second occasion wac after the
election of 1924, when, under the
twelfth amendment to the Constitu-
tor. which had been adopted in 1904
candidates for President and vice
President we're designated by the
electors. No one OF the four candii
dates balloted for as President re-
ceived a majority of the votes. The
election was therefore thrown in the
House Of Representatives, which
elected Mr.. John Quincy Adams.
Should the electors chosen at the
polls next November fail to give q
majority of their votes to any of the
candidates, the election of Presi
dent would devolve upon the House
Of Representatives, that of yiee-PEes

Diversity in Farming.

There ia no stability in prices and
there may be scarcity in some par
ticular article at any time. For that
reason the farmer should endeavOT
to always have something to sell and
not depend on one or two crops. If
his granaries are overfowing he
should increase his herds and flocks.
as he can thus retain large proper
ton of his crops for use another year
in the shape OF manure. This is no
loss though it is bringing in the pro
fits somewhat slowly. There may
be opportunities to raise an extra
calf or colt, and the number OF pigs
retained may be increased. More
fruit and vegetables should be
grown, and the production Of milk
and butter be made larger Where
the labor is given tue quality will be
improved, and there is always room
for quality. Low prices do not re
suit always from overproductiOn, but
from inferior articles on the market
There are thousands Of farmers who
are to-day receiving good prices fol
their articles, but they sell only
those that are strictly choice and al
there never was a time when thu
markets have been crowded will
choice goods the object OF every far
mer should be TO improve the quality
of the articles he sells and thus ado
the sale of more labor to that which
he takes from the soil-Record.

ilent upon The Senate. 1t might
happen that we should have Pres
ident of one party and vice.Presl-
dent OF another
When the House meets for the
election of Il President. the delega-
ton from each State casts a single
vote and majority Of all the States
is required for an election. If the
delegation from any State so divides
its vote as not to give any candidate
a majority, the vote of that State is
reckoned as blank. One curious re-
suit of this system is that the impor-
lance of an individual representative
in determining the result increases
with the smallness of his State. Ne
vada, with ISIS population of forty-tive
thausand counts for as much as New
York with its population of six mil
lions. The single representative
from Nevada counts for as much as
majority of the thirty-four repre-
, sentatives from New York.
Under ordinary circumstances,
with House of Representatives so
strongly under the control of one
party as is the present,it would be
easv to forecast the votes of State
delegations. But the currency ques'
ton has cut across existing party
lines in such a way as to introduce
elements ofuncertainty. The single
representative from Montana, for ex'
ample, was elected as a Republican
but he formally severed his connec-
ton with that party by joining the
.sbolters" at the St Louis cOnven
ton. There are other representa-
tives whose votes could not be de
pended on by the party to when
they belonged when they were cleo
ted
Another contingency is that the
vote of State might pivot upon the
settlement of contest over seat
Kentucky has eleven representatives
six of whom are Democrats and five
Republicans; but one Of the election
contests left unsettled at the ad
2ournment of the House was thel
over the seat now held By Joseph Nj
Kendall ,Democrat,of the tenth Ken
lucky district. The settlement o
that contest would determine the vote
of Kentucky for President; and i
would be strange if a knowledge o
that fact did not influence the action
of members.
Prolonged uncertainty and excite
ment over a Presidential election arr
highly injurious. 1t is fortunate
that. Judging rom past experience
the prospect of an indecisive resul
is so slight as it Youths Com
pGniOn.

Farmers Should Grow Our Beef Supply

A great many Delaware farmers
might proitably grow their own
beef if they did not deem it neces-
sary to keep cattle until two or three
years old, as is usually dcne when
they are fattened for market For
home use yearling beef is much the
best, as it Is also the cheapest. Dur
ing the first year of a Calls exis-
tence it will. if well fed, make more
growth of valuable meat than it will
in any future year. A bull calf, that
is to be killed for beef when a year
old should not be castrated. 1t will
make better growth and better
quality of meat, if left whole, and
without the toughness which the
male animal takes on as it grows
older. There is a widespread preju-
dice against bull beef IN all markets,
but when the animal is not more
than a year old its beef will be ten
derer and of better flavor than s
steer of the same age. OF course,
farmers keep their heifer calves for
future cows, but they can often save
their bull calves Tor killing as Yearl.

can make to sell them to the butcher
