AMMAN CHOICE OF PR0GRESSIVES
 IN NEW YORK

. Saratoga, Sept. 26--The Republican state convention situation clarified itself, today. After working q good portion of the night. the sub cor init completed a rough draft of the plat form. It was far more progressive in it's nature than any of the out and out progressive leaders had hoped for and while it was certain to be amend ed in some particulars by the whole committee which got back to work at 9 o'clock, the general impression was that the largest part of the conven- ton would adopt it.
 With the platform situation clear ing, the chances of the nomination of Job F. Hedges. New York. lawyer and orator, became much brighter: The morning lineup gave him 445 votes, according to his friends. The candidates who will be named must muster 509 and the managers for initial ballot he would get much of the Wadsworth strength and also the ma joriry of the Bennett vote.

United States Cavalry Horse.

The public generally knows that the
government has outlined a plan to
encourage the breeding of horses for
the army whereby mare owners in
suitable sections will have the COM
mand Of service to first-class stations
free. in return for which they agree
to give the United States options on
resulting foals at a fair price The
plan was taken up as q means to pro-
vide a good supply Of horses such as
the army needs, which. strange as 1t
may seem. is rapidly becoming more
and more limited. An appropriation
was suggested at the last session OF
congress, but no action was taken,
one objection being that the plan was
not practical-that farmers would not
enter into such agreements with the
government
Fortunately, funds were available to
make an experiment to determine this
point. Mr.. August Belmont, OF New
York, presented to the government
two of his best-known stations, Henry
OF Navarro and Octagon. and the De

EGGS PRODUCED
BY HEN In YEAR
About Five Dozen Per Fowl IL
Fair Estimate, Counting
Good, Bad and
Indifferent.

According to statistics the average
number Of eggs laid by each hen In
this country foots up about five dozen.
This is counting the good. bad and
Indifferent But If the statistics we're
taken from poultry farm reports ex-
clusively, the average would be ten
dozen. The average farmer is care
less with his fowls. and does not. as a
rule. gather all the eggs the hens lay
for the reason that in their free range
they have hidden nests and the eggs
in consequence are often lost With
the improved methods Of breeding. the
average with the poultry men will in q
few years run as high as $50 eggs per
hen per annum. Individual records
have been reported that are fast scor-
ing up to the 500 mark. but 1t Is very
doubtful If they win ever get near II.

partment of Agriculture placed them
at the command of farmers in the

exactly the terms outlined IN the gov
eminent plan.
BY the approval Of the war depart
ment, the price to be paid for the
resulting foals at three years Of age
was $3.50. and no difficulty whatever
was experienced In getting farmers to
breed their mares under these terms.
About so mares were bred, the stall
lions reaching Virginia somewhat late

The interest of the Virginia farm

more stations could easily be utilized.
