SECURE FLOORING.

tomary to use the cheaper kind of lum-
Der, sometimes making the first course
of hemlocl, and theupperone of spruce,
which bears the wear of wagons and
horses better For a wagon house,
where a nice floor is required, the upper
course may be made Of yellow pine. Il
is also the best way to lay floorinmows
or bays where hay is to be stored over
stables or wagons, as it is more impervi-
Gus to dust and dirt than are matched
boards, and is also stiff and strong.
Floors intended to sustain heavy ma
chinery, such as hay presses or thrash
ing machines, it has formerly been the
custom to make of three-inch plank,
both edges heing grooved so that q
tongue could be laid in where the edges
joined. This method is expensive and
does not make as good u floor as is con-
structed by using three thiclSnesses Of
lumber, laying the middle course di-
agonally and being careful to lay the
upper course so that it shall break
joints over the lower course. By this
means the floor is like one solid piece
of lumber, which will not spring or
warp out of place.-American Agricul-

ABOUT REGISTRATION.
Trotting Horse Breeders Have Been To-
Careless About 1t.

Trotting Horse Breeders Have Been Too
Careless About 1t.
The general and universal depression
in the trotting horse business during
the last three years has bred great
deal of inexcusable carelessness on the
part of breeders and owners of stations
bearing on the subject of establishing
and verifying pedigrees, says the
Western Horseman. As is well known,
under the ruling of the Register asso-
citation an animal cannot be registered
without certificate from the owner Of
the sire, or his accredited agent, and
also certificate from the owner of the
dam at the time she was bred. During
recent years all owners have been more
or less recreant about registering, and
many standard but unregistered ami
mails have changed hands, and many
who bred standard mares to standard
sires have neglected to have their hold
ings registered. AS the future looks
much brighter for the breeding inter
est, owners are growing proportionate-
ly concerned about registration, and
at this point they encounter trouble,
as parties who bred standard animals
and sold them unregistered, and owners
of stations to which mares were bred
manifest great indifference about
furnishing evidences to establish breed
ing when called upon. This is notright.
Any breeder who sells an animal unreg-
istered is in honor bound to promptly
furnish evidence of breeding when
called upon, and an owner of sire who
will not promptly furnish the evidence
of breeding when called upon, and an
owner of sire who will not promptly
furnish the evidence that a certain
mare was bred to his horse on q certain
date when applied to for that evidence,
is not entitled to the patronage of other
breeders.

Election of United States Senators.

In his paper on This Country
of Ours" in the February Ladies'
Home Journal ex-President Har-
rlson writes of congress, and tells
how United States senators are
elected. 1.-The law of 1896" he
says, provides that the legislature
chosen next before the expiration
OF the term of senator shall choose
his successor, and that it shall
proceed to do so on the second
Tuesday after it assemblies. On
Mat day each House of the legisla-
ture must vote separately, viva
voce, for senator and enter the
result OIL its journal; the two
Houses must at IL NJ. the next day
meet in joint session, and if 1t ap-
pears that the same person has
received majority of the votes in
each House he is declared elected:
II there be no election the Joint
assembly must take a vote, and if
aNr one receives majority of the
votes-a majority of all the men,
bers elected to both Houses being
present and voting-he is to be
declared elected. If there is no
election the joint assembly proceeds
with the balloting, and must meet
every day at I2 NJ, and take at
least one ballot each day until a
senator is elected. The governor
of the state is required to certify
the election under the seal of the
state, to the president of the senate,
the certificate to be countersigned
by the secretary of state of the
state"

jury that they might consider this

advisable to return indictments for
offeuses that have already been
committed, they might give due
notice to the liquor dealers that
future violations would be prose-
