BEHIND THE TIMES.

An amusing incident Is related In connection with the holding of the re- cont fat stock show in Chicago. \ Dakota breeder who attended the show some six years ago and carried off q goodly portion of the prizes was evl- dently so well satisfied with his achievements that he did not attend again until this year. On arriving. but before unloading his exhibit, he thought he would look around and see what kind of stock was being exhibit ed. To his surprise and modification, he found that such advancement had been made during the years he had ab- sented himself as an exhibitor that his own stock was completely outclassed. AS a result. he asked the management if there was not a shed outside the grounds where he could house his ani- mals until the show was over. This breeders lesson was somewhat ex- pensive, but he learned 1t in a very effective manner.

FORT WANTS UTILITIES BOARD
In Inaugural Address Governor Asks For Corporations Law.


 Trenton, N. J., Jan. 22.-Urgent rec ommendation that law regulating corporations be passed was made by Governor John Franklin Fort in the address following his induction into office. He said no corporation should be permitted to issue bonds or stocks without a certificate from a commis- sioner of corporations that such issue was legitimate and necessary. Honest corporations could only be benefited by such a law. He urged also that a bill creating a public utilities commission on the line of New York's commission be passed.
 The judicial and grand jury systems of the state required reform, he said. AS for the bishops excise law, in the light of the latest election he viewed it as the will of the people. It must be enforced, he said, and he would refuse to reappoint any prosecutor who might fail to proceed against its violators. He said the governor should have power to remove after trial on charges any mayor who might be derelict in enforcing the excise law or any other
  sponsible directly to the people, he said, and should have power to compel obedience to the law.
 The installation ceremony took place in Taylor's Opera House. At noon the governor elect and Governor Stokes drove from the statehouse to the thea ter, where they were received by the senate and assembly in joint session on the stage. The auditorium was packed with spectators from all parts of the state. In stage boxes sat the governors family. Seventeen guns were fired behind the statehouse as Fort took the oath of office. Fort held the Bible himself instead of permitting 1t to be held by Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson, the secretary of state, which would have been in accordance with custom. Brief remarks were made by Stokes on turning over the great seal of the state, and then the new governor addressed the legisla- tofs.

HUGHES READY ID RUN
Will Accept Presidential Nominal
 tion if Party Calls Him.
NOT SEEKING OFFICE, HE SAYS
In Letter Formally Acknowledging His Candidacy Governor Declares For an
 Honest Expression of Party Will. Has No Interest In Fractional Fight.

Albany, N. Y., Jan. 22.-Governol Hughes publicly declared his attitude toward the movement in favor of his nomination for the presidency. He sent letter to James s. Lehmaier of New York acknowledging notification of the resolution of indorsement re- gently passed by the Republican club and appointing Friday of next week for meeting with the club, at which, he intimates, he will still more defi' nitely declare himself.
 In his letter the governor said:
 "I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon me by my fellow mem bers of the Republican club in the pas sage of the resolution to which you re- fer, and it will give me great pleasure to accept the invitation. In accepting it it is proper for me to restate my po- sition:
 Ut is my desire that the sentiment of the party shall have the freest ex- pression and that such action shall be taken as will be for it's best interests.
 q do not seek office nor shall 1 at tempt to influence the selection or vote
 
 tion must continue to be impartial and must not be tributary to any candi- dacy.
 "No Interest In Factions"
 II have no interest in any factional controversy and desire above all things that there shall be deliberation, honest expression of the party will and har- mony of effort
 'I cannot fail to recognize the great honor which the nomination would confer or the obligation of service which it would impose. Nor should care to be thought lacking in appre- ciation of the confidence and esteem which prompt the efforts of those who sincerely desire to bring it about. The matter is one for the party to decide, and whatever its decision I shall be content
 \'I shall be glad to meet with the members of the club, as you suggest, and to make such further statements as may be appropriate. In view of the engagements already made I do not see how it will be possible to have such a meeting before the evening of Jan. 31. And if that date suits your convenience arrangements for the meeting may be made accordingly"
 Won't Seek Governorship Again.
 Governor Hughes, it may be stated authoritative1y, will not accept a re- nomination for his present office. This information was given out at the capi- tal
 Declarations officially from Repub- lican county organizations for Hughes and Taft respectively sare expected during the first week in February. The Republican convention of Fulton and Hamilton county will be held on Feb. l. Representative Littauer. an old friend of Roosevelt, lives there. The Hughes men, however,, declare that Littauer is now against the >presi- dent and that the convention will de- clare for Hughes.

Numerous observations and tests made by directors of the Vermont ex- pertinent station show that the average COW reaches her maxium flow of milk during the fifth year of her life, while she usually makes a gain of one-sixth In milk yield during her third year. While this may be true of the average COW, there is little question that many individuals of some breeds do as well or better after eight years as they do before.

If the same care were exercised in the mating of the human species as ob- tains in the case of the thoroughbred cattle and horses which are exhibited at the international live stock show. the race, from the physical standpoint at least, would be improving at a more rapid rate than at present.

 The difference In price between the mediocre and the best is seldom better illustrated than this year in the case of the apple market The poorer grades of fruit from orchards which have been neglected and in which the fruit has not been sprayed is selling from S250 to $3.5O per barrel, while that which Is No. 1, or fancy, the result of proper care and careful spraying, is selling from $50 to $4.25 per bushel box. It Is the same with apples as with stock particular customers are willing to pay fancy prices for fancy goods. There are scores of orchardists who ought for their own financial good to realize this more fully than they do.
 It is safe to assume that a good many corn growers are this year worse off from the standpoint of the condi- tion of their crop for trying to grow a larger pedigreed type of corn from seed secured from point south which lacked a week or so of having sufi- cient time in which to ripen. The smaller native or acclimated corn may not have so deep a kernel and con form so closely to the corn judging standard, but 1t will keep In the crib and for both feeding and market pur- poses is the more satisfactory and safer type to grow. This paragraph should not be construed as an argu- ment against raising thoroughbred corn, but for a type of corn which will stand the best chance of matur- ing in the latitude In which 1t is plant ed. We are a little fearful that the tendency of some of the corn contests is in the opposite direction.

Seven hundred and thirty nine thou sand cords of wood pulp for use in the manufacture of print paper were i'm ported into this country from Canada during the year 1906. In view of the inroads which are being made into American forests to supply the demand for lumber, paper and other purposes, the removal of all tariff restrictions from wood pulp, lumber and lumber products would seem to be a move in the right direction and one calculated to aid the government in it's policy of forest preservation.
