Washington, D. c., February I'll
Hon. John T. McGraw, who was the
caucus nominee Of the Democrats of
the West Virginia Legislature for the
United States Senatorship, to-day serv-
ed notice upon Nathan Bay Scott, who
has been declared elected Senator from
West Virginia, that he would protest
the election.
Tomorrow Senator Faulkner will
lay before the Senate a formal protest
against the seating of Scott. Nc
Graw, who has been in Washington
for some days, preparing his protest,
left tonight for Charleston. Before
leaving he declared that he expected
to obtain formal declaration from
the minority members Of the West Vir-
ginia Legislature protesting against
the seating of Scott, and stating that
he was not legally elected. He said
that he had been in consultation with
IlIC pSil ~ nhllC III w tLoA4AlS
ton, that he had received their assur-
ance of a belief in the validity of the
protest which he proposes to enter
against the seating of Scott and their
promise of assistance in pushing the
case.
The notice was served on Mr.. Scott
at his Office in the Treasury Depart
ment to-day. He declared, however,
in an interview, that he had not the
slightest doubt of the validity of his
election or that he would take his seat
in the next Senate.
The protest which Senator Faulkner
will tomorrow lay before the Senate
will be embodied in five clauses and
involves number of new questions for
determination by the Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections.
Allegations are made that Scott re-
ceived but 4S votes out of a total of
81 members of the Senate and House
of Delegates when voting in joint bal
lot; that two of the votes received by
Scott were those of Senators Getzendan-
ner and Pierson, who had forfeited their
seats in the Senate by accepting COM
missions in the army; that the election
was held under a compromise into
which the Democrats were forced by
the threats of the Republicans Of the
Senate that they would turn out seven
Democratic members against whom
there was no contest and that these
threats were partly carried out by the
unseating Of Senator Kidd, of the
Fourth District; that there was no leg
al joint session of the Legislature be-
cause the joint convention was held I'M
der a private agreement between the
Democrats of the House and the Repub-
licans of the Senate and not under the
law, and that the President of the joint
convention acting under the agreement
refused to call the names or count in
any way one Senator and one Delegate;
that at the time of the election Nathan
Bay Scott was an inhabitant of Wash
ingon and not of West Virginia, and
that under precisely similar circum-
stances the House of Representative
held that John Bailey, member-elect
from Massachusetts,, was not entitled
to a seat, for while a citizen of Massa-
chussetts, he was not an inhabitant of
that State.

Breeding Fine Horses.

The breeding of fine horses, which
has been largely neglected for a
number of years, is receiving "A won
dertul impetus this season. Farm
ers have commenced To realize that
the world of commerce can not he
moved without good horses, and the
increased domestic consumption
aud foreign demand must advance
the price nf horses suitable for the
markets Many communities are
commencing to take active interest
in the subject, and many local or
CARNATIONS are formed for the pur-
pose of purchasing prime breeding
animals. This is a movement in
the right direction, az the day for

Good Horses Wanted /.

1t is probable that few men except
those engaged in handling horses
about the markets and in the CEN
ters of horse raising industry have
realized the smallness of the num-
Der of suitable breeding stock to
provide for the rapidly increasing
demand for really good horses. The
shortage is in all classes, except
those that are not fit for any de-
mand. Not only is there a de-
ficiency of good brood mares for
producing the fashionable coach
horses, roadsters and saddlers, but
the draft stock of the country is in
the same condition.-Live Stock.

FOR THE FARMER


For several years prices have,
quite generally, been unremunera-
tive and production consequently
limited Farmers have refrained
from hiring help and have contented
themselves with what could he pro
duced by the family. / know of no
farm that is yielding to its fullest
capacity; yet some are producing
more than twice as much per acre
as adjoining farms equally good. To
illustrate: A farm of 200 acres,
100 of which are improved, receiv-
ing careful treatment and above the
average condition of farms in the
vicinity, has a cash income of from
5000 to 800 yearly as the result
of the work of two men. An adjoin-
ing farm of forty acres, with the
same labor, averages about $500. A
river farm of forty acres, with lit
tie more work, gives about $1,000.
Small holdings, diversity of crops
and profitable prices will more than
double our production without any
increase in the area OF improved
land. France, with nine times our
population to the square mile, pro-
duced over eight bushels If wheat
per capita for the five years ending
with 1897. Our production for the
same period was but little more
than. seven bushels per capita

Roup may generally he traced to
want of cleanliness, undue exposure
or improper ventilation.
1t is ONLY when inactive and
under artificial conditions that
Asiatic fowls get too fat.
Even in Summer if fowls are con
fined, II busting and scratching
place is essential to health.
Do not permit the setting hens
to have their nests where they will
get too hot and leave them.
Generally with increasing age the
egg shells grow thinner and some
kens drop them with no shells.
While sunhower seed is good for
egg production, care must he taken
not to feed too much at time.
Corn, when fed exclusively to the
laying hens, has tendency to fat
ten rather than to produce eggs.
