ferred upon It Neither party in this city
however, has cared 10 experiment with this
method Of popular rule, partly no doubt owing
10 the natural desire OF politicians TO keep at
fairs under established control, but partly also
because there has been until now no general
demand for a change and because even the
enemies Of machines have by no means been
convinced that the new method insured IN the
long run any larger measure OF popular rule
than the old Mr.. Parsons and his associates
in the county committee are convinced that a
large body OF Republicans would Ike TO try the
new method, and believe that il would give
them more effective voice in the govern
ment Therefore, true 10 their purpose Of max
ing the party really representative Of the PEG
pie, they respond 70 this desire in admirably
progressive spirit.

In reply to Mr.. COler's charges Of unclean-
ness. it is said that more money IS spent for
cleaning the trolley Of Brooklyn than for
cleaning those OF Manhattan. That may be-
and the Brooklyn cars might be cleaner than
those Of Manhattan without being entirely IN
suliied and aseDtic. What is needed is not for
the pot to call the kettle black. but for both
10 make and keep themselves as clean as possible.
1t Is doubtless difficult matter TO keep public
conveyances even tolerably clean. and perhaps
impossible to keep them entirely clean. But
with the appliances of modern chemical and
mechanical science at hand there is really no
excuse for the accumulated filth which is
sometimes to be perceived by more senses than
ono in many Of our cars

Nothing else so conduces to clean
milk and clean cows under ordinary
conditions as a platform Of proper
width and a gutter of sufficient width
and depth. For large cows I prefer
a platform four feet and eight to ten
inches wide and a gutter from sixteen
to twenty inches wide and eight TO ten
inches deep. If there is sunclenl
room a gutter of the larger dimensions
will be found satisfa Glory ana win
no defects. I like cutters either en-
tirely of cement or of four inch brlck
walls on each side, with inside Of walls
and bottom cemented, the latter direct
" on earth il the bottom is good. The
wall next to the platform should be
covered by a plank two by twelve,
fastened so that it will not slide over
the edge of the gutter.-J. w. 2. In

and so long as it Is profitable large
number of Ben Davis trees will be
planted and great quantities Of fruit
handled.
American Agriculturist concludes the
foregoing comments as follows: The
fact of the matter is the Ben Davis is
not so bad If properly handled. When
placed where the apple tends to lose its
moisture and shrink it becomes tough
and spongy, but If kept in the right
kind of fruit house it holds its plump
ness, is a reasonably good cooking ap-
pie and is not so bad eating out Of
hand.
A Kansas farmer writes in an eX-
change of this fruit: Ben Davis has
broken into Scotland, and the people
there are glad to receive him. Enc
mics of Ben have said that the hardy
Scotchman who has been living on
oatmeal perhaps does not mind the
branlike taste That's all right, so Ben
gets there with both feet. The Amer
lean producer of the Ben Davis apple
is not going to inquire about that SO
long as they sell well.
