The work of preparation for putting
the new Ballot Law into operation in
New Jersey has already made good
progress, the election boards for the
counties having been selected and hay-
ing received the approval of governor
Abbot. The next step will be the
naming of the officers for each precinct.
All these boards will be non-partisan,
being composed equally of Democrats
and Republicans, selected by the heads
of the working committees of both par
ties, subject, of course, to approval.
That the first trial of the new svstem
will reveal defects in the law is prac.
tically certain, since it is by no means
a complete and comprehensive meas
ure. The main thing, however, is to
secure an honest and fair election.
and this law, clumsy though it is in
some respects, seems calculated to ac.
complish a good deal in that direction.

The African Problem.

The solution of the African problem
Is not yet. 1t is one thing to cast lots
for African provinces, but quite an
other to realize them when cast. A
deadly climate, dark jungles, and vast
deserts to say nothing of the treacher-
Gus African himself, are all potential
agents to bar the progress of greater
forces perhaps than even England and
Germany can employ. And then it is
by no means certain that the German
eagle and the British lion are to live
peaceably together in Africa. Their
interests are widely apart and besides
the latter is not likely to forgive the
German for presuming upon taking
half OF these stolen honOrs.

three-quarter inch gold lace, cuffs
trimmed in one place with lace an inch
and three-quarters, and in another place
with lace one inch wide, while above
each cuff there are four rows OF lace,
each fve-eighths of an inch broad.
The skirts and flaps of the coat are also
rorgeously embroidered. There are
numerous buttons, and the blue founda-
ton of the whole is lined with white
kerseymere. On the shoulders are
epaulettes, with heavily embroidered
straps The trousers have gold lace
one inch and three-quarters wide down
the seams The cooked hat is covered
with lace, and has tassels of bullion.
The sword knot, symphony in gold

The sword belt is covered with oak
leaves and acorns embroidered in gold.
The weight of the uniform without
sword, is about twelve pounds.-N. Y.

about it; but that which had in cribs,
that had splits in the boards one inch
wide, was eaten up by the weevils six
months after it was gathered. Put it
in cribs as near alright as possible,
and leave it there without stirring, and
you will no more demand something to
kill the weevil. Corn can be put up
wet, but it does not help to keep it free

HERE AND THERE,

Stop the washes before they get too

There is no better time for securing

managed rightly.
1t is the early cultivation that is

We advise the feeding Of a little

BILE to turn under as a green manure
than clover. Not only is there large
amount of rich vegetable matter in its
roots, but the plant itself is rich in the
elements of plant food.
When there is spare time overhaul
the mower and see that it is in good re-
pair, ready for the crop of clover. This
can often be done with less trouble now
than later, after the work becomes more
pressing.
As rule it is best to be fprehanded.
1t is rarely good economy to wait until

little delay at this time often implies

FACTS ABOUT SALT.
When Added to Milk Chloride of Sodium
May Prove of Great Benefit.

When Added to Milk Chloride of Sodium
May Prove of Great Benefit.
Dr. jacob, of New York, writes that
the physiological effect of common salt,
the chloride of sodium, is of great value
in certain conditions of the system in
children especially. 1t may be added
directly to the mothers milk, or cows
milk, or to the vegetables, etc, as a con-
diment. Both the latter articles con-
tain more potassium than sodium, and
should never be given without the addi-
ton of salt.
Probably portion of the compound is
absorbed at once in solution, but anoth-
er part is broken up in the stomach,
with the formation of hydrochloric acid,
which is an efficient agent in the pro-
motion of digestion in those diseases
where the normal condition of the stom-
ach is interfered with, and in the begin
ming of convalescence.
The excess Of this acid, when it passes
from the stomach, unites with the
sodium of the bile, sodium chloride
being once more produced, and this in
turn Is dissolved in the contents of tho
intestines and absorbed into the system.
1t is known that the salt in the circula-
ton acts to promote vital processes by
fastening tissue changes and the elm
ination of the tissue waste
The quantity of salt present in the
| tissues remains very nearly constant,
for such is the regularity of natures
processes that the presence Of an ex-
cess will set up just those processes
which tend to carry it out from the sys-
tenn; and, on the other hand, if an in
sufficient quantity is administered, the
blood will retain tenaciously that por-
ton which it holds in combination, the
general lack being indicated by more
sluggish tissue change and marked i'm
pairment of nutrition.
Another very important considera.
ton, especially in the case of children,
is the fact that milk which holds in so.
luton a small quantity of salt will not
coagulate in large solid masses, but in
smaller flakes, and thus its digestion is
made much easier. In cases whore the
mothers milk seems to curdle in the
same way as cows milk, it is found
that the addition of salt will often af
ford relief.
The habitual constipation OF children
is also relieved by the administration o.
salt, for not only is the food rendered
more digestible, but the secretions o.
the alimcntary canal are increased anG
made more effective by its presence. In
any case, the dose should be small, be-
ing determined rather by the taste thar
by the actual quantity used.-Youth'.

Canned Apple Sauce: Another good
way of using up apples is to make them
into good apple sauce as for the table
and fill some of the self-sealing bottles
which have been emptied of their fruit
during the winter. 1t is great con-
venience in the spring and early sum-

EARLY CHICKS.
No Use to Try Raising Broilers without
Proper Facilities.

Without proper facilities 1t is almost
useless to attempt to raise ''broilers"
successfully or profitably, for the young
chicks are brought out at time when
they have to be we'll provided for, but
it pays, and pays handsomely, too, to
raise early spring chickens to those who
have had experience in rearing chick
ems for tho market.
The difficulty in procuring broody
hens when they are most needed makes
it necessary to use incubators of some
kind, but a poor incubator is an ex-
pense to any one. 1--WE speak from ex-
perience.) AS to which one is "best"
we do not pretend to say, for there are
several which will do good work when
running according to directions. 1t is
foolish to expect incubators to hatch
every egg and run themselves without
care.
1t is not very difficult or expensive
matter to hatch out the chicks, but the
trouble and work commences as soon as
the chicks are Matched by properly car
ing for them. A good brooder and
artificial heat is absolutely necessary to
success, and suitable room or building
should be provided which need not be
very expensive.
AS to food we have dropped the hard.
boiled egg system. Unless occasionally
fed mixed with other food it is sure to
cause bowel trouble.
Generally we feed chicks when they
are about twenty-four hours old; we
place dry (pin head) oatmeal and luke
warm water before them; they will eat
as soon as they require it. When they
are few days old feed bread or crack
or crumbs soaked in milk or make a
cake of equal parts corn and beef scraps,
or animal meal is excellent, add lit
tie baking soda and pepper, bake the
same as bread, then feed the soft parts
to tho chicks and the crust to the old
hens. For variety give little meat,
potatoes, rice, cabbage, onions, kali
and other green food.
Keep the breeders at as even tenn
perature as possible, and let not more
than fifty small chicks run together to
have them do we'll, or they will crowd,
killing the weaker ones
Always clean the brooder and runs al
least once day if possible to avoid
them becoming sour and filthy.
Keep before them at all times good
clean, fresh water or milk and box o.
cracked corn, wheat, charcoal, ground
bone, shells, meats, etc.
Very young chicks have small crops
therefore they require feeding at leas
four to six times day, or every two
hours. Give them different varieties o
food such as boiled rice, table scraps
and never feed more than they will ca
up clean Of soft food.
Chicks treated in this manner viii
grow fast, and be ready for market a
an early date.-Poultry and Stock Re

Deafness Can't BE Cured

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is tho result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi.
ton, hearing win DO destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh

como to my door; / never have to hunt
