habit = Factor IN stock Rnl.ing.
Ea0t IS a considerable factor IN
regulating the stock supply Of COM
try. There are certain sections Of this
country notably IN the South, where
conditions are favorable for stock
raising. but where the industry has
never gained a foothold. The only
reason dlscoverabie Is that the farm
ers in such sections have never formed
the habit OF stock raising. In recent
report to the Farmers Review. cor
respondent IN Wisconsin said that In
hts country the farmers went Into
dalrylng when the price for horses
fen. and when the price of horses
again rose the dairying habit had be-
come so hrmly fixed that the farmers
continued to give their attention %
the production Of milk rather than %
the production Of horses This factor
Of habit Is seldom taken Into conaid-
eration when planning new enterprises
in new localities. When the great de-
preston came IN the horse breeding
business several years ago. multitudes

WOULD CLOSE "CROW HILL. -
STATE PRISON COMMISSION THINKS
THERE ARE TWO PENITENTIA-
RIES TOO MANY.

Albany, Feb 5.-The State Prison Commission
to-day adopted a resolution recommending the
closing Of the Kings County CCrow HID and the
Albany County peniJentiares and the establish
ment Of reformatory for male misdemeanants at
the latter institution.
The resolution says that the number of inmates
OF the county penitentiaries of the State has de-
creased more than half in the last five years. and
the population Of Kings County and New-Yori1
County pententaries has also so largely decreased
that there appears to be sufficient ceroom in the
NewYork Penitentiary. on BlackwelIs Island. for
ali the inmates of both penitentiaries especially
as the new wing for the women's department Of
the New-York County Penientary will make am
PIE room for all female inmates of both peniten-
tartes and give better facilities for their treatment
than now exist in either penitentiary.
The commitments to the Albany County Peniten-
lary have so largely decreased that IL is no longer
needed as such an institution in the opinion Of
the Commission.
The Standing Committee on the New-York
County Penitentiary presented a report of an in
spection Of that pententary January 81, which
shows the institution in good condition.
