Explanation Of Proceedings In Case Of No Majority, Men renowned for their political sagacity are free with their pred'e- Lions that a triangular fight for the Presidency this fall will throw the coming Presidential election into the House of Representatives. Whether an alarmist view or not, this is one worthy of analysis at this time. The electoral vote will be counted before a joint session of Congress at 1 p.m. on the second Wednesday of February next. The total electoral vote in this campaign will be 531 area a majority necessary to a choice will be 264. Tho Constitution provides that "if no per- son huts such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers, not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the Boase of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President the vote shall be taken by States, the re. presentation from each State having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the States and the majority of all the States shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them be- fore the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice President Rhall act as President, as in the case of the deatli or other constitutional ability of the President." But it is reasonably certain that no Vice -Presidential candidate will get a majority, if no Presidential nominee receives one. So what is to be done in such an event ? The Constitution is clear on this point, also. The election of the Vice - President would be thrown into the Senate, instead of the House, and the Senate would have to make final choice between not the three, but the two candidates receiving the highest number of electoral votes. The elec- tion of the Vice -President is further simplified by the absence of constitu- tional restriction as to senators voting "by States." They can use their in- dividual preference and having only two men to choose from, one candi- date would appear sure to receive a majority. This majority, however, would have to be a majority of the whole number of senators, two-thirds of whom would be necessary to con- stitute a quorum to do business. DEADLOCK SEEMS ASSURED. The Congress which would decide the election under such circumstances is that now in session. And, as stat- ed, the vote of the House would be by States and not by individual members, each State having one vote dictated by the majority of its representatives. A fact most interesting, indeed, to relate is that in the present House. the political division by States is exactly equal although there are 220 Democra- tic and onl y 161 Republican represen- tatives. Yet there are twenty-two State delegations in which the Re- publicans have a mej•erity and the same number, twenty-two, in which the Democrats have a majority. In addition, there are four States, hold- ing the balance of power, each tied with an equal number of Republican and Democratic representatives. These are Maine, Rhode Island, Nebraska and New Mexico. In these estirnates all members who recorded themselves as Republicans when elected to Con- gress are included in the Republican column, A deadlock would thus appear to be assured were the election thrown into the House. The successful candi- date would bave to obtain the votes of at Ieast twenty-five States whereas, as said, the Democrats have but twen- ty-two, .is have the Republicans -re - Tuttle and progressive ---between them, How many representatives hitherto listed as Republicans will join the new party no one can yet estimate. Many of the "insurgents" of the House eith- er have refused or are hesitating to follow Col. Roosevelt. And even if every Democratic representative should vote for Gov. Wilson, he could not be elected unless three of the tied or hostile States should come to his rescue. Therefore, if the election is thrown into Congress the prospects are that through a hopeless deadlock extend- ing until March 4 the Presidency must on that date? fall to the successful can- didate for Vice -President, If his elec- tion is thrown into the Senate, the possibility of a clea.dlock would be diminished by the fact that it' that body, only the two rather than the three candidates receiving the high- est eleetorttl vote would bo balloted for by the senators, who would vote as individuals rather than by States.

Freight shipments through it are expected shortly, It is well to know that the story in regard to two girls, one from Luck - now and the other from Ooderich, having been spirited away from the latter town as supposed victims for the white slave traffic, is not true. The young man who was suspected as the procurer, was, the authorities have discovered, the brother of one of the girls, and he had been for some time engaged in Chicago. On the assurance that she would get better wages he persuaded his sister to ac- company him, and the other girl being a chum, decided to accompany them. Tile first girl, fearing the probable refusal of her parents, failed to notify them. This was very foolish. Such a departure always gives anxiety to. parents. In this case it led also to the girls Craving their names paraded in the newspapers in a way which was not at all desirable. Glorious Hair For Women.

Some important amendments to the Fire Insurance Act passed by the Ontario Legislature during the last session came into effect on Thursday, August 1. As a result the staffs of the various insurance companies have been working overtime drafting new, forms and devising new methods of keeping records. The amendments are, briefly, these :---The insurance company will be liable for damages from lightning, whether or not the lightning causes an actual fire. The insured will have a standing permit for workmen making repairs 15 days a year. instead of five as formerly. Policies must not state the authorized capital of the company, unless full particulars of the amount paid up and other details are given. Renewal receipts, if accepted by insured, are an acceptance of renewal of policy. The company may sue for the amount of the premium, unless the receipt is returned immediately, On the other hand, the company is liable for the insurance, in case of loss, from the motnent the receipt is sent out. The Apple Crop, The Weekly Sun thus outlines the prospects fur apples. Along the Lake Ontario front, where the bulk of the commercial apples of this Province are grown, the crop is certainly light, About Pickering and Whitby the crop is reported very light. "Below med- ium" is the report of W. J. Bragg, a buyer and grower of Durham county. W. H. Gibson, the largest grower in the county says, "less than last year." At a meeting of Orono apple growers association, held Friday evening, members reported from one-third to one-half the crop harvested last year. In no part of the Province does the crop appear to be l:urge and in soote of the largest producing sections it is decidedly light, While production promises to be limited coneumption should reach a high level. Trade is exceptionally good 10 Great 13ritain and this should spell a keen demand from that quarter. In the West, although there have been disastrous stomas in some quarters, and Mani- toba, as A whole seems to have suffered drought, the wheat crop is 'likely to reach a nervy record teed demand from Haat quarter will be heavy. The local market in Ontat'io will also be heavy. The loctal market in Ontario will also be ready to absorb large gltantitioa of apples. Taking everything together, therefore, the prospects for those who Will have apples to eeil is decidedly encouraging. The secretaries of the horticultural societies in the following States estimate the crop of applets as follows : Michigan 80 per cent. of noernal, New Yot-k, Conneetient and West Virginia 70, Ohio 50, Vermont 75, Delaware 77, Missouri 80, Penney'. unite 50. sea t 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 O 00 0,)0 0r 000 (.•000900 DAIRY WISDOM.

Tile good dairy cow usually is wide in the forehead, the face dis1ed between the eyes, with a strong under jaw. 'To obtain a maximum supply of mills, small pastures, allowing frequent changes of feed, should be provided. The best dairy cow is the one that will convert the forage raised on the farm into the great- est reatest amount of butter fat The profit to be made from dairying depends upon feeding and care as well as upon breed- iug. The stable that has plenty of pure air and Is well flooded with sunshine is moat comfortable and healthful. Clean milk Is never acquired by the use of a strainer alone.

To the best of my knowledge and ex. perlence the principal cause of small litters in herds is the lack of proper care at breeding time, writes George Xoice iu the National Stockman. Most breeders of registered stock keep their breeding animals too fat A sow to produce a largo litter should be in tl thrifty condition and possibly a little thin. About three or four weetcs be fore you with to aIIow her service be gin gradually to feed her plenty of rice and nourishing feed. At the time of service she should appear to be pick Ing up flesh pretty fast. Keep her on good feed at least four weeks after service, then if you think her getting overfat reduce the feed gradually, but keep her in thrifty condition and do not stint or she may farrow about one half of her litter runts. We have tested this matter yeat after year and and that a sow will not start more pigs than she can carry on the feed. provided. This is one of nature's provisions and is involuntary, as far as the male or female Is con- cerned. If the ordinary sow's assim. ilative organs were capable of provid• ing food for twenty-five unborn pigs and the dam no doubt she would far• row that number, but nature provided her with ten to fourteen teats, with an occasional sixteen tester, although some sows are so well fed that they farrow from sixteen to twenty-three pigs. The wild hog farrowed and reared from three or four to twelve pigs, but generally eight or nine, ac- cording to whether she was gaining or falling at the time of service, The Duroc-Jersey Is one ref the most prolific of breeds, but nature's laws must be obeyed. We have a register• ed sow that on May 10 farrowed eleven as a gilt, raised ten; March 17 farrowed thirteen, raised twelve. She Chester White hogs have long been a favorite breed throughout a large part of the United States and still hold their own against other varieties. As a breed the Chester 'White is large, long in body, has heavy bone and is not as refined or compact as some of the other breeds. The sows are good moth- ers, good grazers and are very pro- lific. The illustration shows a Ches- ter White sow in fat condition. was very poorly cared for the next summer and fall and on April 4 far• rowed one and raised ale, and the fol. lowing March she farrowed eleven liv ing pigs. She was fed for a large lit- ter. itter.

Ad we know, the unborn pig takes nourishment from the dam throngb the umbilical cord at the navel. 11 more pigs are started than the feed provides well for the sow will draw from her own store for a time, after which some of the unborn pigs must subsist on half tare. If the sow is stinted a little more some of these half fare pigs (now runts) will starve, thus will be born dead. Of a. litter of twelve two may be born dead (starved to death before birth), two runts, and the remaining eight be nice, thrifty pigs. The owner or feeder doesn't see why they were not alt that way. Abolish the Scrub. If your animals must "rough It" tben the grade or scrub will tare as well is the pure bred.
