In q number Of stray dogs running

PREPARE FOR
The PRIMARIES
Richmond Has Another
Election District.

CHIEF Clerk Alexander Ross, of
the Bureau of Elections in the bor-
ough of Richmond, has just COM
pleted the work OF r~eadjusting the
election districts in order to make
the number Of voters In an election
district conform to the law. Owing
to the increase In the number OF
voters it has been necessary to create
one new election district so that
there aresnow forty-fve in the coun-
ty instead Of forty-four. Heretofore
these divisions have been made In
July and the new districts were
ready for the fall primaries, but
owing to the fact that spring prfma-
ries are held this year the division
had to be made al this time. The
spring primaries will be held March
26. There has been some doubt as
to the election of members OF the
county general committee, but In
structions at the Election Bureau
are to make provisions for their
election.
According to the new law there
must be at least n member for
each election district and this will
make forty-five members to be elect
ed to the Republican and Democratic
committees IN the borough. In adj
dition to the committeeman there
will be on each primary ticket the
names Of three delegates to The state
convention and three a~lternates.
Under the present election law the
primaries are to be conducted In all
manner as elections. Everything
will be under the supervision OF the
Board of Elections as at q regular
election. Poll and ballot clerks will
for the first time serve on primary
days together with the inspectors of
election. Heretofore only the in
spectors served. The fee for the
service OF each official this year will
be 81 instead OF Sc as heretofore.
The Board of Elections win also
print the ballots for use at the pri-
maries. This has heretofore been
the province of the party commit
tees. but now they will be relieved Of
this expense and it will be upon the
city at large. The ballots will In
every way resemble the regular ball
lots for election. The candidates OF
the regular organization will have
emblems and those opposed to them
can have an emblem also IL they so
desire. But no regular party en-
blem such as Is used on the election
ballot can be used.

No Fear of These Animals Being suppIanted

VIII 1t cost less to run a machine
stand as much work as the horse?
Is there any collateral gain In
value, as Is the case when mares are
used and bred and raise colts? once
had neighbor who had an old mare
for his own personal use that he had
gotten fifteen colts from, and
though they were only good farm
stock and not of very high quality,
they averaged in selling price at four
years, a hundred and fifty dollars
each. 1t is doubtful If machine
costing many times the value OF the
mare could have been of as much
real worth TO the owner as the old
mare was, and | doubt very much
whether the auto could have rendered
services SO long.
But the question Of replacing horse
drawn vehicles and implements by
power implements involves more than
the mere utility of the method. So
long as crops have to be grown to
feed mankind we shall be obliged to
do something to maintain the produc'
tiveness of the soil. Can we do that as
we'll when there is no live stock on
the farm to produce manure?
Or can we possibly maintain the
soil when year after year crops are
taken off If we do not have live stock
to consume the surplus and make ma
nure? And, can we possibly devise
any implements that will be adapted
to use for all sorts of farm crops? We
may use level land on power tractor
with a gang of plows, and also do the
narrowing the same way; but can we
cultivate crops Of corn, tobacco and
all the other hand crops if we have
no power that can follow the ups and
downs of the fields, and follow the
curves of the burrows that conform to
the lay of the land on rolling
ground?
| suspect that under the most favor
able conditions the tractor used on
the farm can only serve to plow and
harrow land that lies suitably for the
purpose; but that the planting and
cultivating will have to be done with
horse power as heretofore So it
seems on the face of it that there ara
many limitations upon power tract
ors as farm implements.
In this view of the case it is safe to
conclude that under any circum-
stances there must be good many
horses raised both for farmer use and
the personal use of people who like
the horse as a riding and driving anil
NAL.
OF course, where roads are fairly
level, and kept in good condition,
power vehicles surpass the horse in
rapidly, and, perhaps, comfort of To-
comotion; but we who have owned
and lived among horses always and
who like living things better than ma
chimes will always have personal
preference for the living animal. And
If there continues demand for
horses of course the raising will con-
tinue to be a profitable branch OF
farming.

road is bad the horse has distinct
advantage over the power-driven We
hicle. OF course all roads should be
made good and kept good, and a very
important result Of the general use
of the power-driven vehicles will be
the great improvement in building and
maintaining permanent roads.
So the old fogy fellows who stick
to the horse will, of course, derive
material benefit from the fact that so
many power vehicles are coming into
use. But the number of machine
vehicles is going to increase all the
time, and some sort of plan is going
to be worked out that will enable
power-driven vehicles and imple-
ments also, to become far more gen.
eral.
There are, without question, some
strong inducements to use power
vehicles wherever they can be used.
and it may be that in time methods
of cultivation may be modified in
such a way that almost all work done
by horse power can be done by the
machine. But will it be economical?

OVERCOAT OF FAT
HIDES HOG FAULTS
Some Breeders Have Trick OF
Sending 0ver-Fat Bears to
Market.
Bv r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

Some breeders have a trick of send
ing their weak boars to fairs with an
overcoat of fat which hides many de-
fects. When you see an over-fat boar
It is time to become wary.
1t is a well-known fact that all tRe
fat breeding animals at the big fairs
are sold first and the rough ones are
left to the last.
1t takes a good Judge to pick out a
good. strong, healthy boar If he Is
over-fat.
Even If the animal is quite thin In
flesh and has quality this will be no
drawback where men Of experience
are making selections, because they
Judge the animal on his points and
not on his general sleek, round ap-
pearance.
Another point to be observed in
buying boars is to observe closely the
shape of his head A boar with a
long. narrow head, ears set close In,
is, as a rule, poor sire.
