Boarding Horses in Winter.

Bergen county, N. j., it appears, Is be-
coming headquarters for winter horse
boarding Hundreds of valuable horses
are sent out from the city to pass the win
ter in idleness. Formerly those horses
were fed on oats and timothy hay, most of
which was shipped in from New York
State according to Rural New Yorker.
This hay has cost too much, and horsemen
have substituted corn stalks with good
So isfaction.
Last winter many horses were fed on
stalks and bran wi h little linseed meal.
They wintered In excellent condition at
much less cost than when fed on hay and
oats. The whole stalks are shredded, or
the horses eat what they like from them,
after which the butts are run through tho
shredder. In either case the refuse Is used
for bedding. Thus 1t Is that cheaper ra .
tons for all farm animals are being util.
izsl. It's wonderful how tho corn plant

Wanted Information.

Ellis p. Crossan, who lives near the
state line, appeared before tho Levy Court
yesterday afternoon and asked the court
Tor information. Before the resurvey Of
the boundary limo, his property was In
Delaware, but that survey. put his prop.
erty in Pennsylvania, and for two years
he has paid taxes in that State.
Mr.. Crossan claims that the White
Clay Creek hundred tax collector has
tried to collect Now Castle county taxes
from him. Hi says that hc was not nj
lowed to register and vote in Delaware,
and that be has already paid Pennsylva-
mia taxes, therefore no does not care to
pay in this State.
Under a decision of the Chester County
Court, the new boundary line has not yet
gone into effect, and his property would
therefore be still in Delaware. The Levy
Court will prevent tho White Clay Creek
hundred collector from proceeding
against Mr.. Crossan for tho present, CIV
ing him opportunity to SEQ the Pennsyl-
vania authorities concerning the taxes no
has paid them.

Annapolis. Md, Jan. 19.-The first
ballot in the Maryland legislature for

United States senate was taken yester-
day. each branch balloting separately.

Necessary to choice, IS.
The preliminary skirmishing has been
attended with great bitterness and dis
sension in the ranks of the Republic
cans, who have considerable ma
jority in both houses. These dissen-
sions have rendered 1t impossible to
bring about Republican caucus, and
at this writing there seems to be little
probability that this method of settling
the dispute will be resorted to in the
near future. A long deadlock now
seems inevitable.
The Democrats are using every pos.
sible means to foment the discord and
prevent compromise. There are many
who believe that it may yet be possible
for Senator German to succeed himself,
II he can carry the next legislative
election in November 1899. This possi-
bility is, however, admitted by the
Democratic leaders to be very remote
one, and they are looking rather to the
problem of further dividing the Re-
publican ranks by aiding in the election
of q man who is not the choice of the
majority of his party.
OF the candidates who were voted for
yesterday Judge McComas. Major Shaw
and General Shryock are the most like.
ly to remain to the end, although there
Is possibility that any of the others,
as well as some whose names do not
appear in the list may in the end carry
off the prize. One of these Is Mayor
Master, ofsBaltimore. Although not an
avowed candidate, it Is certain that he
would not be averse TO wearing the
toga, and there is much talk here con-
corning the possibility of another coali-
"Malsterites." or faithful eleven" for
the purpose of electing the leader of
the anti-organization wing of the Re-
publican party. That such a thing Is
possible there is no doubt, and it is
freely asserted that Senator German
and his lieutenants will try their best
to bring about such a result whenever
it Is demonstrated that deadlock is
no longer practicable.
Today at noon balloting will be re-
sumed. this time in joint session. and
will be continued until a result Is reach
ed. 1t is generally conceded that there
is no reason to expect an election this
week. as Judge McComas, the leading
candidate, Is believed to have polled
very nearly his full strength, and it is
thought that the "favorite son" votes
will be very evenly divided between
Major Shaw and General Shryock after
another ballot or two.
