state Board of Agriculture.

The annual meeting of the New Jersey
State Board of Agriculture was commenced
in the State House in Trenton on Tuesday.
with President Edward Burrough, of
Camden in the chair. There was a large
attendance representing all parts of the
State. The annual report was read by
Secretary Dye, after which Governor Abb
bett made an address, which was listened
to with rapt attention. Mr.. Dyes report
recommended organization and concerted
action on the part of the farmers, and
heartily endorsed all societies tending in
that direction. 1t showed that the reports
of the Board had been read throughout
New Jersey, the United States and Cana
da, and had even been sent to France and
New Zealand. 1t is stated that the value
of the crops in New Jersey was much
greater in proportion to the acre than any
other State in the Union, and recommend
ed truck and fruit farming as the most
profitable of ALL Mr.. Dye recommended
the raising of sheep more extensively.
Governor Albeit said that the question of
marketing produce was most serious one
with the farmer at the present time on ac-
count of the unequal freight rates. He
recommended tribunal where difficulties
between the producers and carriers would
be adjusted. He said that SIS, 900 could
be well expended in the roads OF the state,
and asked the board to formulate some
practical plan and promised to do all in his
power to aid the project and secure the
needed improvements.
The various committees were announced,
and the report of the Executive Committee
was read. After the presentation ofa num-
Der of committee reports, the annual address
of President Burrough was delivered. The
address was a lengthy one, and touched on
most all subjects of interest to agriculture
lists.
Addresses were made by DR.. &. Hart
Merriam, of Washington, d. c. and Hon.
James Buchanan, the latter speaking on
legislation against food adulteration, aud
extension of the free postal delivery sys-
tenn.
The attendance at the second days ses-
sion on Wednesday was large. President

The Tramp Nuisance.

In the House of Assembly last week,
three bills came up from Burlington county
which are for the purpose of doing away
with the tramp nuisance so far as possible.
They are the outcome of the big indigna-
tion meeting held at Mount Holly the pre-
vious week. Mr.. White introduced two of
them, and they both affect the committing
of tramps to Jail. One operates with the
other. The fees of the justices are reduced
to twenty-five cents, and the city, town or
township authorities can employ the
tramps committed to the county work
house or Jail on the streets or other public
improvements.
Another bill, offered by MI. Packer. pro-
vided that persons other than tramps being
found to be drunk and disorderly shall be
fined one dollar. for the use of the town
ship.
All over the State there has been much
discussion over the tramp question. Wig
orous action has already been taken by the
authorities in various counties. There is
demand for some State laws which will
relieve the country districts of this nuis
ance and save the heavy expense. The
Justices of the Peace have taken advant-
age of them, and their fees frequently
amount to thousands of dollars. This is
besides the expense to the county of keep
ing the tramps in Jail.

Black Silk Finish Henriettas

One of the largest importers of
French goods in Philadelphia in
making ready to inventory his stock
found too many fine goods,and like
judicious merchant thought it best
to make reduction in prices and
work off his stock, rather than wait
for customers at his regular prices.
AS we have been selling goods of
his importation for years past, it was
but natural that he should look US
up to help him unload. We accord
ingly bought $500 worth of two
numbers, one of which we can sell
at 50 cents and the otherat SO cents.
The first is all wool and SO inches
wide; while the latter is 40 inches
wide. These goods are worth in a
general way 90 cents and sI.oo per
yard for the kind we are offering at
50 and SO cents. 1t is a good OPP
portunity to get staple black dress
for less than its actual value. If you
will take the trouble to write up to
any of the largest dress goods
houses they will gladly send you
samples by mail of their goods, and
you give US chance to put our
50 cent quality beside their 90 cent
or our So cent quality beside their
sI.oo quality, we will risk the
chances of comparison.

The t'Frfends'' Did NOT move.

A few DAYS ago a ll-known citizen of
a neighboring town, who had held many
town offices, including that of Justice of
the Peace, died, and the residents of that
portion of the county went to the funeral
II soon became evident that the relatives
and friends of the dead man would more
than fill the little house where he passed
his declining years, and at the proper time
the local clergyman, who was to conduct
the services, opened the door and said:
"All the friends connected with the de-
ceased by consanguinity will please take
rooms on the right side of the house, and
those connected with him by affinity will
kindly 60 into the left rooma."
The minister then withdrew into the
house, but the ''friends''did did not move.
They looked into one another's faces in
blank astonlshment and wondered what
was the meaning of the minister's big
words. AT length he was obliged to make
second announcements to the effect that
those related to the deceased by blood and
those by marriage should occupy different
sides of the house, and then the crowd be-
gan to enter

Burrough presided through the entire day
During the course Of the afternoon session
Judge Joshua FoIsythe, of Burlington
county, stirred mp some excitement by his
address supporting resolution to have
the laws henceforth printed in a pamphlet
form and not in newspapers. The Com
mittee on Resolutions reported She rfsolu-
ton back to the board. it was then that
Judge Forsythe jumped OF the prevailing
extravagance of tie Stale Government.
The main points of his argument were
that the laws, as printed 10 newspapers.
were of no use. as the type was fine and
the arrangement Rad. Persons seeking in
formation on some particular law were
Obliged to wade through the entire batch
of laws because of the lack of an index.
He favored the laws being printed ia
pamphlet form with index. and distributed
through the County Clerks Office in each
county. Judge Forsythe's resolution was
unanimously passed.
During the morning session ex- Governor
w. D. Hoard, of Wisconsin, read paper
on the .Dairy Temperament of Cattle
The subject of Breeding and Rearing
Horses was discussed by Prof. W. H.
Brewer, of New Haven, Conn.
There were two papers read at the night
meeting. J. II. Denise, of Freehold. spoke
on 1.-THE Grass Product of New jersey
and DR.. w. G. Parry read an interesting
paper on 'sThe Origin. Status and Pros
poets of the New Jersey Milk Producers"
He was followed by Ex-senator John Tay-
lor, of Trenton. He discussed the subject
tFThe production Of beef, mutton and
pork in New Jersey foi market DR..
w. C. Parry said: 1.-THE origin of
the Dairymen's Protective Association
seems to be closely associated with the re-
duction in the price of milk made one year
ago by the Philadelphia dealers, this re-
duction of half cent seemed to indicate
that the dealers meant to encroach on the
farmers narrow margin of profit to an
extent that must be resisted or result in
bankruptcy in many instances. This
body has laid down few propositions,
which we are endeavoring to work out, to
the betterment of the entire dairy business.
Our first proposition is that we will name
the minimum price of milk shipped aud
delivered in Camden or Philadelphia. They
now have membership of nearly four
hundred men. These men are generally
imbued with the ideas that the time has
come for the farmers to stop going up and
down the highways proclaiming hard times
and mourning over the adversities of the
community; but to read the signs of the
times, and prevent unnecessary misfor-
tunes from overtaking them. Their pres
ent proposition is to provide themselves
| with creamery outlet for their surplus
milk, to be located at Camden
| They closed by electing the following
officers: President, Hon. Edward Bur
roughs. Camden; vice president. Morris

Leap Year.

The year 1892 contains 1856 days. and il
therefore called a ssleap-year.' Why thii
name was given to the years when an extra
day was given to the month of February
is unknown, bat it probably arose from
the fact that any date in such year after
the added day February 29) ''leaps over
| the day of the week on which it would fall
in ordinary years. Thus March 1, 1891,
fel. on Sunday. In ordinary years the
same date in the following year would fall
on Monday, but in 1892, it falls on Tues
day. The same name is found in media
val English and in Icelandsh, and syn
onymous word is used in Dutch. The
Germans call it schaltyaar, literally ''inter-
gallery year" while in the Latin languages
it is always called the 5issextile year, re-
ferring to the custom of the Romans of
inserting the extra day on the sixth day
before the calends of March.
The astronomical year is measured by
the length of time required for the earth to
make revolution about the sun. The
lergth of this year is 365 days, hours, 48
minutes and 46 seconds. The calendar
year is therefore bout six hours too short.
To remedy this fault the Romans in the
time of Juias Caesar determined to intro
duce an extra day in every four years. But
year of 365 days and six hours is little
longer than the actual time required for
the revolution of the earth about the sun.
In the course of centuries this difference
became considerable, aud in the sixteenth
century the equinoxes occurred ten or
twelve days sooner than they should have
occurred according to the calendar, or on
the tenth instead of the twenty first of
March.
To correct this the Council of Nice, called
by Pope George, Kill, ordained that the
fifth of October, 1852, should be called the
fifteenth, and that the closing year in each
century-1700, 1900, 1900, etc.-should not
be counted as leap year except when the
number of the century was divisible by
four. Thus, 1000 was aud 1000 and 2400
will be leap years. England did not adopt
the GregoIian calendar until 1852, and
Russia has never adopted it, consequently y
the Russian reckoning is now twelve days
behind ours.
