plurality of 100000 in the popular vote.
His election indeed rested on the same
basis as CleveIand's in 1884 and Will
sons in 1916. But in 1876 the Repub-
licians had not yet acquiesced in the
suppression of the negro vote in the
South. And if the negroes had not
been persuaded" by various means
from going to the polls, Tilden could
not have been elected.
Both the Republicans and the Dem
ocrats claimed to have carried Louisi-
ana, South Carolina and Florida, and
from those states two sets of returns
were sent to Washington. Who should
decide between them? The Constitu-
ton provides merely that the president
of the senate shall, in the presence of
the senate and house. open the certi-
fcates. land the votes shall then be
counted"
But when there are two sets of
votes. who shall say which shall be
counted? 1.-THE president of the SEN
ate" answered the Republicans be-
cause the president of the senate was
Republican. THE two houses" said
the Democrats, because one of the
houses was OeIHOcEdI1c.
Compromise was necessary to save
the government from chaos and the
country from another Civil war. The
bitter dispute was left to 10 men, one
third Of whom were senator's and an
other third were representatives
equally divided between the parties.
To guarantee q calm, judicial decision
the remaining third were justices of
the Supreme court.
Nevertheless, the commission pro-
ceeded to decide every essential ques-
vote of to z. Alas, the partisan
zeal of that feverish hour burned just
as fiercely beneath the gowns of the
justices as under the frock coats of
the legislators.
The judgment of the commission
was without force in law until adopted
by the two opposing houses. and some
disappointed Democrats in the house
baked at ratifying the decision against
Tilden. But representatives of Hayes
whispered to certain southern Demo
Gratis in a secret conference at Worm
ley's hotel that if they would let the
Republicans have the presidency, the
Republican president would let them
have their own state governments. The
bargain having been struck, it was
kept. After a turbulent night session
OF the house the result of the election
was declared at four o'clock in the
morning of March 2. 1877, just 90 hours
before the Inauguration.
For three months Hayes himself had
been alternating from day to day be
tween expectation of success and de-
feat. Even when he started for Wash
tngton on March 1 he was still so I'M
certain that he frankly told the peO-
pie of Columbus in his parting speech
that he might be back with them and
in the governors chair again in less
than a week.

CAN INTRODUCE GOOD
SIRES IN MANY WAYS
Causes of Inferior Farm Stock
Briefly Summarized.
Success Comes Only in Large way 20
individuals and Communities Who
Have Adopted One Breed and
Stuck Right to Il.

The causes Of inferIority among live
stock, cattle, sheep. horses and
even chickens may be summed up
briefly. They are:
l. Lack OF purpose In breeding OPP
erations.
2. Failure to use good blood.
8. Indiscriminate mixing Of different
types and breeds.
4. Lack of good care and manage
ment
In inaugurating the better sires-
better stock" crusade, the United
States department of agriculture fully
recognizes the obstacles to be met ana
overcome. There are few today who
believe that a scrub is in any way
equal TO the purebred or better-bred
animal. The purebred, particularly
the better-bred, ANNUAL is rapidly find
ing place on farms where heretofore
the less desirable kind were growing.
Those who previously were growing
scrubs are growing good stock, while
those who previously kept good ones
are now growing the better kind.
Good sires may be introduced in
many ways, but among the more prac-
teal are:
1. Individual ownership.
2 COpartnership ownership. where
two or more farmers purchase a sire
Jointly, or
8. The agricultural organization.
club, farm bureau, or community own
ership plan.
Good results are seen everywhere
from cooperative efforts along this
line.
The communities as we'll as indiyid
uals that have become most noted
for the animals they have produced
are those that have selected just one
breed, and only one. While no one
would attempt to tell you the breed
you should keep, yet success comes
only in a large way to the individuals
and communities who have adopted
one breed, rather than two or many.
To work out this plan successfully,
the individual likes and dislikes Will
have to be overcome or minimized.
Where this has been done, marked
progress has been made.

With those watchwortIs HAYES had
saerlhced himself and his administra-
tlon to reunite North and South. to
cleanse the civil service and to regeIl-
crate the Republican party. So qui-
city, so cOldly, so automatically did
ne go about all those great objects
that he remained to the end of his
term one of the most misunderstood
most underestimate presidents, the
Republican leaders. hating him as an
apostate and the Democrats despis-
ing him as a fraud
He selected one of the most dis
tinguished cabinets in history. But
he did it without consulting party
leaders or considering the claims Of
factions, and the offended senate
threatened and muttered for nearly
a week before it confirmed the Domf-
nations. To the disgust Of practical
politicians" he threw away a high
class foreign mission on a man like
James Russell Lowell, "a dashed lit
erary Teller" as Senator Cameron
said, and he enraged Roscoe Conk
ling by f1inging the political machine
of the imperiOus senator out of the
federal offices in New York city. He
would also have made q start toward
the removal of the civil service from
politics and spOils-mongering had not
both parties combined in congress to
thwart his every effort in that direc-
ton
Hayes boldest challenge to the
Republican politicians was his aban-
dOnment of their 12-year struggle to
reconstruct the Southern states from
Washington. Ever since congress
had seized from Lincoln's lifeless
hand the control of reconstruction,
the entire proceeding had been a
tragic failure.
Hayes came to the presidency in
the depths of an Industrial prostra-
ton when wandering bands of
tramps thronged the highways of the
land, and soon the first great railway
strike paralyZed transportation be-
tween the Atlantic and the Missis-
sippi. In response to tie popular cry
for more money" both parties In
congress were for repeating or modi-
flying the resumption act and for in
fating the currency with greenbacks
on silver coinage. The president
firmly resisted such a surrender. Had
not his veto of the silver bill been
Overridden he would have saved the
country from taking the first step on
the road that led it 10 the brink of
free silver in 1896.
All this independence cost Hayes
the support of the political time serv-
ers and the applause of the partisan
press. These united in denouncing
and ridiculing him as a renegade in
politics and as a sniveling hypOcrite
in private life.

location of production and consump-
tfOn and to bring dealers and growers
together, so that they would not be
working at cross purposes. An inves-
tigatiOn of the marketing of peaches
In HillsbOrO county disclosed that
growers were marketing large per-
centage Of the crop in Boston and 9TH
er Out-Of-state markets, although the
fruit could have been disposed Of to
better advantage at local MAJ kets.
Through the bureaus activities the re-
turns to the growers who marketed
their peaches in the state in 1919 were
as much as 100 per cent higher than
the prices received by producers who
continued to ship to Out-of-state mar
kets.
Another investigation revealed the
fact that hundreds of pigs purchased
in Massachusetts by New Hampshire
farmers gould have been supplied by
local producers. Immediate assistance
was given the New Hampshire farm
ers in purchasing direct Of local swine
breeders, and where large numbers Of
pigs were offered in one section they
were marketed to advantage In other
sections where there was a demand for
them.
Economic Waste May Result
Not only does the practice of ignor-
ing nearby markets often mean loss OF
money to all concerned, but il may
result in a general economic waste as
WELL. say marketing experts OF the de-
partment Of agriculture. The gravity
of this condition will be readily seen
when It is known that in 1919, $50
dealers located at So marketing cen
ters in New Hampshire made out-Of-
state purchases amounting TO approx
mately $4,000. OOO-a large percentage
OF which could have been supplied by
New Hampshire farmers by increased
production and proper marketing
methods.
OF course, there are times when it is
decidedly to the growers advantage to
ship their products to distant markets,
say these marketing experts. 1t is all
a question Of keeping thoroughly In
formed as to market conditions. To
aid producers in this the federal bu-

reports covering a number Of markets
throughout the country, as well as
weekly and monthly reports and spe-
cial articles. States that have local
