pursued by State Master c. D. Rich
ardson of Massachusetts. but he is GER
tainly farmer on a large scale. At

deer, elk, buffaloes, bears, foxes, wild
geese, pheasants and nearly every 9TH

time nearly 500 deer, 40 buffaloes, 200
elk, so wild boars, q dozen bears, 100
pheasants and swans and almost in
Vulnerable foxes, coons, muskrats and
other small game. There is a large
number of wild animals in every park
in the United States supplied from the
West Brookfield preserve. He has
made shipments to New Zealand and
Germany, the shipment to New Zea-
land including twentyfour bears and
twelve elk. His most extensive for
eign trade is with Germany and Den
mark. Recently he had a rush order
from Germany for 100 muskrats. and
the order was filled. The preserve is
a fascinating spot covering about if
teen acres Of his ninety-four acre farm.

NATIONAL REPRESENTATION.
Some Of the Larger Grange States Are
FESTIVE Under Present Rules.

An important resolution passed at the
last meeting of the New York state
grange was to the effect that the state
grange adopt q method of representa-
ton in the national grange by which
each state shall be represented accord
ing to membership. 1t will be remem-
bered by those who are familiar with
the workings of the national grange
that two years ago Mr.. Kegley. from
Washington state, introduced resolu-
ton of similar purport, but it was
given a back seat. But it is more than
likely that resolution changing the
representation in the national grange
will be introduced at the next annual
session of the national grange. The
matter is being urged in Michigan as
we'll as in New York and other states
There is obvious injustice in the pres
ent method of representation in the
national grange. considering the paid
up membership. New York, with its
1900 members. has but two votes
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana
and Colorado have ten votes, with a
combined paid up membership of 4,3O0.
Several other states could be added to
these five before a membership equal
to New York state alone, and these
five states have ten votes for 1890
members, while New York, with its
1900 members, has only two votes.
New York has three counties, each of
which exceeds in membership these
five states named. While in some re-
spects the present system should be
retained, there are others where the
representation according to member
ship is greatly to he desired and we
anticipate a new discussion of the
question when the national grange
meets in Washington next November.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
Temporarily Jared In tayette
and Precedent Broken.

At the Seventh District Con-
gressional Democratic Convention
in Lexington on Thursday there
was serious split, which resulted
in second convention. The can
didates were Pres Kimball, of Fay
cite, the present Congressman, and
Campbell Cantrill, of Scott. The
Fayette delegates, some from
Woodford and some from Bourbon
withdrew from the assembly. The
regular convention nominated MIR.
Cantrill, of Georgetown. Those
who withdrew nominated Mr..
Kimball. He heard of their &C
ton and promptly declined to ac-
cept and urged united support of
the convention for Mr.. Cantrill,
the nominee of the regular cOnven-
ton. The Kimball supporters
then nominated Mr.. johnson, of
Franklin. The State Central Com
mittee will decide the point at is
sue.
Indications are that all differ
ences will be adjusted and that Mr..
Cantrill will receive the party vote.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Kim
ball serving his first term was not
endorsed by a denomination.
