Facts in Turkey.Breeding.

There is nothing like facts to confirm a
theory. If it were really believed that good
selection and good feed would increase the
average size of turkeys third, it would
not be difficult to get intelligent farmers to
pay attention to these points. We find a
very important item in a local journal from
North Stonington, Ct, which confirms
this view. This town is on the borders of
Rhode Island, represents the district where
the Narragansett turkeys principally are
raised known in the market rs Rhode
Island turkeys. The writer says: Proba-
bly, more than fifty thousand pounds of
poultry have been sent from this vicinity
this week for the Thanksgiving market in
Boston at 90 cents a pound. The quality
sent this year is better than that of last
year, some lots of turkeys averaging near
fellow bore down thirty-six and a quarter.
The size of turkeys raised hereabouts has
increased steadily for twenty five or thirty
years, owing to attention to propagation.
L
giving did not exceed eight pounds, and
brought only as many cents pound;
whereas the weight has been increased
fifty per cent, and the price two hundred
per cent" From Stonington, the town
Immediately south, still larger quantity
was sent, and the quality was grade heav-
ier Said an old farmer who bought a
lage Bronze gobbler of premium stock last
season, 81 must have some more of that
stock, for l have the heaviest turkeys in the
neighbolhood. Good feed, especially
during the first fall and winter, is almost
as important as good stock. A farmer
feeds bnshel of corn to a hundred turkeys
in November in a day, at the cost Of a dol
lar, and it look little extravagant. But
it is less than the third of a quart, and the
cost Of a cent a day for each bird. We
once tried the experiment of feeding some
second litter turkeys through the winter,
and found the hens gained about ? pounds
a month and the gobblers 3 pounds. The
feed was principally boiled potatoes, and
meal and corn. At this rate, the gain in
flesh, at twenty-five cents q pound, would
be worth about seventy-fiv cents month
for each gobbler, and fifty cents for each
hen. If thirty cents worth of feed will
make this gain, it can not be very bad bus
mess to feed turkeys literally through the
winter. By all means have large, well-fed
stock to breed from in the spring, and the
time to make them is now.--Imerican Ag-
ricNLNrist.

CARE OF MANURE IN WINTER.-Tt is
quite easy to prevent manure from becom-
ing frozen during the winter BY proper
management it may be worked over so as
to be made in the hest condition on the
opening Of spring for use on grass land to
be piowcd for corn, or fine enough to har-
row into plowed land. To effect this it
should be kept piled in compact heap, in
which shape it will fermcnt, and maintain
sufficient heat to resist the severast frosts
and melt all the snow that may fall upon
it, and so keep moist enough to prevent
tire-fanging. The heap should be turned
once Or twice, and the outside coarse man
ure put into the center. BY this treatment
early in spring, it may be made fine and
perfectly well-rotted.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff,, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

\ POLAR CoNTINENT,-News has been
received by the French Geographical Soci-
ETY. from NJ. Pavy, who is on an expedi-
ton to the North Pole. His dispatches
were sent on the 10Th of August last from
Wrangle Land. Here he found the mouth
of a great river not down on ANY chart,
and running from the Northwest, the cur
rent flowing at the rate of six knots an
hour. This confirms PAWS theory that
there exists a great Polar Continent, the
temperature Of which is warm as compared
with that of the Arctic regions. This riv,
er was explored northward about $50 miles.
Along the banks the remains of many mas
todons were found, these being similar to
the elephant of to day. Pavy is now win
tering in the 18th latitude, all of his party
being in good health and spirits.

THE STATE CRops.--Thc report of the De-
partmcnt of Agriculture for the past year
shows that New Jersey is hardly up to her
average this time owing mainly to the drought.
The corn crop was hurt by the dry weather
in Sussex, Mercer and Warren counties. In
Atlantic, Gloucester, Burlington, Union, Hud-
son and Hunterdon the yield was mainly good
and abundant. Potatoes were unusually good
in Atlantic county and also in Burlington, IL
which latter county it is reported that the
Early Rose and Peach Blow var.e les did ex
traordnarily well. Union and Hudson coun
ties did poorly. Mercer suffered by drought
and rot. The hay crop was good in Hunter
don and Sussex, and bad in the rest of the
State generally. Atlantic reports that salt
hay and black grass are the main dependence
Cumberland and Gloucester make but hall
the average. The latter, however, and Bur
lington had heavy Fall crop. Hudson was
injured by the drought. In buckwheat the
only report is from Warren county, which hal
good average crop.
In fruit Hudson reports that the grapes arc
injured by Drought; apples hardly a hall
crop pears more abundant than usual tho
late varieties being the best. Gloucester com
plains that fruit does not keep well. Warren
reports apples short. The other counties dc
not report.

STATE VALUATIoN.-The County Board of
Assessors have filed with the State Comptroller
at Trenton the returns of the assessments of
real and personal property as fixed by them
for the year 1878, ami upon which the State,
county, and local taxes are levied. The total
amount is $612,996,10G against SG03, Go5, 497
in 1S72-an increase of 50, $3.50, 600. Over six
millions of the increase, or nearly two-thirds,
is in the county Of Essex. The valuation in
Newark is just one sixth that Of the entire
State. Several counties show a falling off.
among them Hudson, Of nearly two and il
half millions; Bergen, of 81, zoo, 900; Mercer,
of over one million Burlington, of $479, 600:
Cape May, of $250,0O0; and Hunterdon, OF
1926, 900. Atlantic, Gloucester Monmouth.
Ocean, Salem, Somerset and Sussex remain at
about the same as last year. Passaic increases

WAeps RrDuQHD The edict has gone 3

WAGES REDUcED. The edict has gone
forth from the Pennsylvania r. r. Co.'S head
quarters that the oficersdhd employees of the
Company Tor at least those tof the .Belvidere
Divison) shall have their wages cut down ten
per cent. from January LIST. As no kind
OF necessaries have declined to any extent
since the panic, the reduction is pretty hard
on workingmen We hear that no orders have
been issued to put the hands on full time,
(most of them haying been working on three
quarters time so that in effect the wages of
many of the laboring men are reduced to
about Sc per week. 1t is plainly to be seen
that men with families cannot live on such Il
sum, and much suffering must inevitably oc-
cur if this reduction is persisted in. The en-
gineers on the road will not submit to the re-
duction and will strike in a short time.
A meeting of the mechanics connected with
the Railroad shops in this city was held last
evening at Boozer's Hall, to take the question
Of wages into consideration. and committee
Of consultation was appointed, with the I'M
that the various shops should act

FATAL RESULT OF FIGHT.-On Christ
mas Eve the young people of Junction held
a ball, at which man named Jones acted as
door-keeper Along in the evening, one Ed
ward Burroughs entered the ball room, and
as set was just forming for the dance he
threw his hat down upon the floor against the
wall and joined in the hop. Jones saw Bur-
roughs throw the hat down, and, i'll spirit
Of mischief, perhaps, walked up and kicked
the hat out into the middle of the room.
This was accepted as an insult by Burroughs,
and bitter quarrel arose between the two
men which resulted in fierce hand to hand
encounter, during which Burroughs threw
his adversary across ehair and fell upon
him, thereby breaking his Zones back. The
wounded man fingered in great agony until
Saturday morning, when death came to his
relief. Burroughs Immediately surrendered
himself to. the authorities, and he was brought
to Pennington and lodged in the county Jail
Oh Saturday evening. He diselaims any in
tention OF Killing the man. and says he acted
only in self-dcfence. Jones leaves a wife and
one child.
Burroughs is a fine looking young man, %
years Of age, and weighs within fraction of
two hundred pounds. He is a fireman on
Central Railroad train, and it is said that the
deceased bore grudge against him and the
engineer of the same train because they had
some time previously refused him ride on
the engine from Elizabeth to junction. The
next Grand Jury will have the affair to in.

THE MURDER CAsE.-Thc result of the
Court, (who was charged with the murder of
his wife at High Brdgcl has caused great
dissatisfaction in the vicinity where the de-
PENDANT lived, and much criticism all over our
county. With the Court and jury, the theory
of physicians who had never seen the case
appeared to have more force than that of
those who made the post-mortem examination.
DR.. Coleman, of Trenton, testified his belief
that the woman died from the bursting of an
aneurism, and that the wound, three inches
long, resulted from this cause while Drs. AL
paugh, Todd and Field, who saw the wound,
testified that they believed it had been caused
by some blunt instrument. 1t was also testi-
fed that the bone in the vicinity of the wound
had a mark upon it rs if struck by some in
strument. How this could have been il the
explained, although the attention of the
Court was called to it. BY request or direc-
ton of the Court, the case went to the jury
without argument of counsel-a thing which
was very improper, and which was justly OBJ
jected to by ]. T. Bird, Esq, who assisted
the Pro; e,utor, ard boldly charged the
Court with being arbitrary and with arguing
the case itself, instead of allowing the coun-
sci to do it. and who said that the Prosecutor
should not have allowed the Court and defence
to thus gobble him up and place before the
people Of Hunterdon another Pattenbure
farce" If the important trials before OUT
Courts are allowed to be conducted in so loose
a manner, we fear that the good name which
the Judiciary of our state has SO long main
tained will be furnished.
