improve Wisconsin Horses.


The most effective method of inn
proving the quality of horses raised in
Wisconsin forms the subject of the
latest bulletin of the University of
Wisconsin agricultural experiment sta
ton by Prof. A. S. Alexander, entitled
1.-THE Horse Breeding Industry of Wis
consin." The bulletin reviews the eff
fects on horse breeding in Wisconsin
of the law which went into effect last
January, regulating conditions of
breeding and providing for the regis
tration of horses and the issuance of
certificates by the department of horse
breeding of the state university. Prof.
Alexander also points out the changes
and additions necessary in the law in
order to make its operation more eff
fective. Among the proposed provi-
sions for consideration at the coming
session of the legislature are an annu-
al or biennial renewal of license fee;
specific authority for the department
of horse breeding to refuse licenses for
unsound horses; the institution of a
plan of expert veterinary inspection of
horses used in breeding. AS a result
of the enactment of the stallion law
the department of horse breeding of
the state university, in scrutinizing the
pedigree certificates, has discovered a
number of instances of fraud in mat
tiers pertaining to the age and breed
ing of horses. In considerable num-
Der of cases it was found that changes
had been made in the date of birth as
stated in the certificate of registry. In
each case the change had been made
by some previous owner of the animal,
and often the present owner had no
trace OF the previous owner and there
fore was not party to the fraud. The
department of horse breeding has also
discovered the issuance of fraudulent
pedigree certificates by accommodate
Ing bogus registry companies which
extract money from horse breeders
who fail to have the pedigrees Of their
horses accepted for registry by recog-
minced registry associations.

the taxes. The reformers declare that
the republican organization has for 50
many years been the close political
ally of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company that it does not dare compel
the big corporation to come forward
and assume its just share of the tax
burden.
The two factions fight it out at
the primaries today. The reformers
have put George L. Record forward as
their candidate for United States
senator, while the regulars are gen
orally for John F. Dryden, who has
served part of one term in the senate
and desires reelection. The reform
faction have also nominated candidates
for the legislature and for congress
in some counties.
What both factions seem to fear is,
that neither will honestly abide by the
result of the primaries, but will Sec
reilly knife the ticket that wins in the
primaries at the coming election.
Though the republicans carried the
state on the assembly ticket last year
by 57,978 plurality, it is believed to b.
within the possibilities that the demo-
Gratis may capture the legislature this
year and elect their senator former
president Grover Cleveland has been
talked of as possible candidate for
the senate, but those best familiar
with the situation believe it would be
impossible to persuade him to become
candidate. Former Senator James
Smith, Jr., though the fact that he
bolted the Bryan presidential tickets
may initiate against his chances. is
still believed to be the most prominent
among those mentioned as the demo-
cratic candidate for the senate.
