A Michigan correspondent Of Coun'

cate for medium weight horses, writes
as follows: About five years ago

about 1900 pounds each, more because
could not find what wanted In light

ment Of my own. l had not had the
team week before their superiority
over the other teams on the farm was
proved. They moved on with plow
with much less fatigue. They Grew
heavy loads with far greater ease"
fact, they were masters Of the situalion

At the Illinois state fair last week
different breeds of fowls. They were
of interest to all poultry scientists and
others engaged in the study Of poul
try subjects. There were great diff
ferences apparent in the shape. size
and color of the eggs Of different
breeds. Probably we have not yet
reached the point where the form and
color of the egg cuts much Of a figure
in the eye of the public. but that such
a time is coming Is apparent. Such ex-
hibitions are commendable. as they
present an object lesson easy to under
stand. A close inspection OF the eggs
showed that the biggest fowls did not
lay the biggest eggs. This is import
ant. There is an impression that the
larger the hen the larger the egg. The
there were on exhibition eggs of the
idea Is not correct. 1t is not the large
COW that gives the most milk, neither
is it the largest hen that lays the large
egg. 1t was noticeable that the eggs
of the White Leghorn were larger than
some of the eggs of the larger breeds.
When we consider how many more eggs
a Leghorn hen will lay tnan the others
and how much less it costs to feed her.
the extra profit Is apparent. The egg
producing hen is as much special pur-
pose creation as the special butter max.
ing COW.

A Delicious Apple Desert.

An attractive sweet dish that 10
choice enough to serve at luncheon
consists of tart baked apples covered
with syrup continuing nuts and can
died fruits and serve with whipped
cream. Peel and core nice apples, lay
them in baking dish and pour over
them a half cupful of cold water. Put
in the oven. which should be hot, and
when they begin to cook sift over them
granulated sugar. Cook until soft, but
not until the sections lose their shape.
Make syrup of cupful of water. half
cup of sugar and tablespoon OF
strained lemon juice. Measure two
table spoons Of almonds, blanch them
and cut in bits. Add these to the sy-
rup together with two tablespoons OF
candied cherries chopped with the nuts
or raisins When the syrup reaches
the boiling point, let it simmer thirty
minutes. Put the apples with spoon
in a low, fiat dish, skim out the fruit
from the syrup and sprinkle around
them. Serve very cold. New York

1t has been said upon good authority
that scarcely a commercial seed is en-
tirely free from foreign admixture,
owing either to accident or design. The
practice of adulterating clover seed
with fine stones and sand is common
in France at the present time. In one
sample from that country examined
last year was found 1853 per cent Of
artificially cOlored yellow quartz stones,
and 1926 per cent of uncolored brown
ish sand. Similar instances have been
reported recently from two OF our
American experiment stations. Some
years ago firm was discovered in
Bohemia which was engaged in supply
ing seed dealers with both colored and
uncolored quartz sand for purposes OF
adulteration, az prices ranging from 81
TO 81 per hundredweight.

The palpab!c sympathy OF the Brifim
roasscs with DIR. Jameson and his assoc
c,ates. who have been on trial In London
for rasilng the Transvaal, did not save
thcss filibusterers from conviction by
British fury. Furthermore. 1t Is haruiy
TO be doubted that despite this sympathy
the British public mind recognizes that
even Jameson, who was given the heavi-
est sentence, got off lightly. considering
the grave consequences that might nave
resulted from the raid. Nevertheless,
there is good reason to suspect that these
same British masses are very much DIS
anpointcd that one OF the threat
ened consequences did not ensue'
and that is war between Great
Britain and the Boer Repupnc'
ending In the annexation OF the Trans
vaal to the British South African posses
sIons. 1t appears pretty certain that nau

STREET-CAR RULES

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
an a recent visit TO Norfolk I found
the following notice posted in bold type
I'm front and rear of each street-car. why
can't our car companies do the same!
"a rule of this company prohibits the
smoking or carrying of lighted cigars or
cigarettes on this car. Conductors must
enforce this rule. UNCLE fb'H n'
II we have any such rule here, 1t Is
not enforced.
Nor is the rule enforced here which re-
ouires passengers to go into the car as
long as there is room inside, and not
crowd the rear platform. 1t Is no un-
common thing to see platform so
crowded that additional passengers can
not enter the car, while in the car there
,s n,entv Of room-standing room at least.
In the course Of the year the companies
lose hundreds of fares by falling to en-
force this rule. People standing on the
sidewalk and looking at the platform
think that the car is crowded, and will not
venture in. They prefer to walk rather
than scufiie through such crowd.
Nor do our conductors make passen-
gers huddle up closely in their seats as
is the custom elsewhere. The consequence
is that two people often occupy seating
space that should be used by three. How
ever, we do not blame the conductors
much. These are customs of our people
from which they cannot be easily broken.
We trust to time as the corrective.
BY the way, the Richmond Railway and
Electric Company would do some Of its
patrons a great service by painting the
'loop"-car white. yellow, green. or some
other color different from that which II
is now painted. Uptown people are con-
stantly rushing into 1t, only to find that
II lands them at Seventh street. There
IS a placard on the car, to be sure, but
il isn't half conspicuous enough.

THE NEW REGISTRATION.

phe objection TO having q new regis
3-atson of the voters OF this city during
this campaign Is that the Democrats are
more apt to lose than gain strength py
thai proceeding. There's no denying tne
fact that some Democrats are now either
Gerry luRewarrn. or positively indifferent
o. the success of our ticket AS things
ycvr etanH even up to the closing Of the
~sus. we might hope to rouse these
6retfren TO their party duty. But II we
have n new registration, and these men
neglect to register, no entreatles Oh ours
nfter the registration has Closed Will
make voters Of them
In short. the Democrats Of this city
have something to lose and nothing 10
gain by having a registration during this
canvas.
Again. this year as usual our City
rommittee would need considerable
amount Of money TO enable 1t to bring
o,,t our voters to register. To raise this
money would be no easy matter now
Rusiness is dull and likely to continue
M and collections would not be readily
made.
That our registration list needs revis-
ing we grant, but we think this might
no better done next spring than now. on
the fourth Thursday OF next May vote
"a 70 calling a constitutional convention
will be taken, and that question we sus-
meet viii arouse much interest. In GER
tain and by no means improbable event
this election will be a very exciting one;
n Is sure 70 be lively enough to call the
attention of the people to the necessity
of registering.
So ir tho date for the new registration
should be put little ahead of that cleo
ton, quite surely there would be good
turnout of voters. Then in the fan OF
1897 we would have the usual one day
revision Of the list, ana thus We should
be all right for voting at the guberna-
4orial election of November of next year.

f. against having n new registration al
thss time. we feel sure that the Electoral
Board will cheerfully make the change &c
