selfish

How many farmers and others, too,
whose places are destitute of fruit ami
shade trees? Again, how many rented
places are devoid of trees of all kinds?
Has the landowner ever stopped to con-
slider that a small orchard, a few yard
trees around every tenement house, will
utly enhance the value. attract and
hold a betrtI lass of tenants, make life
more enjoyable and that, too. at prac-
tically no cost? We tell you, there is a
great deal of selfishness; we look
abroad and see how stingy and selfish
many are with their tenants, and often
times perchance some good farmer
rents his farm and moves away, and Is
SO selfish as to reserve all. yes, al the
fruit produced, denying even this to
the tenant Landowners owe their te
ants and public generally Il duty =
nlanting at least a moderate quantity
Of trees. This is wise public policy

WHY THE SIlO PAYS.
fen Reasons Which Should Appeal to the
Good Sense of Readers.

Zen Reasons Which Should Appeal to the
Good Sense of eader
Until every farmer has a silo, it is in
order to preach the silo, so we beg those
who have siIos to bear with us if we
seem to repeat s~elf-evident truths. Re
member what an awful lot OF preaching
it takes to save a few sinners, and have
patience; or do better, help us spread
the truth.
l. The silo stores away corn more
safely and nor permanently than any
other plan. Silage is practically fire
proof, and will keep in the silo indefi-
nitely.
.. Corn can be made into silage ut less
expense than it can be preserved in any
other form.
;. The silo preserves absolutely all
but the roots of the corn.
4. Silagc can be made in the sun-
shine or in rain. Unlike hay, it is in
dependent of the weather.
5. When corn is ready for the silo,
there is but little farm work pressing.
6. Corn is worth more. to the dairy as
silage than in any other way.
Z. At least one-third more corn per
acre may be fed on silage than on dried
corn, stalks or fodder.
s. Corn is fed more conveniently as
silage than in any other form.
Q. Silage is of most value when fed
in combination with other food richer
in protein. 1t is not a complete food.
10. Owing to its ~succulence and
bulkiness, silage is the best known sub
stitute for green grass, and is therefore
especially valuable as a winter food

4 sample of the way road money is
wasted has been shown on Monmouth
street during the past week. There
were some holes in the roadbed and
they were filled up with clay and gravel.
Then men were set at work ~shovelIng
the sand and dirt put of the cutters,
and the sod and grass that had grown
there, and this was thrown on top Of the
clay and gravel. If a sand road IS
wanted there's no use of going to the
expense of putting clay and gravel on
it. for the foundation of the road is
sand, before any top-dressing is put On
it; but it's a double waste of money to
cover up the sand with clay and gravel.

with more sand.-Rcd Bank Register.

that the sand docs not then work up

were tried, but without success, as the
stone pressed through them. This is
probably the first road foundation ever
made with cloth. The following mate

opened, one outward, the other in

outside down under the bottom of the
icehouse, where milk, butter, etc, are
kept. When the framework and board
ed-up sides of the house are completed.
the earth eXcavated is graded up around
the house, so that the water from the
roof falls we'll out upon the earth, and
runs away outside. The mound is
sodded. and when such a house and
mound are well constructed, they are
an ornamental object in the back yard.
Ice slowed in such a house keeps we'll;
a ladder is used to enter when the ice
gets too low to step in upon it.
Such a house will last many years.
With greater expense in using woods
that will not readily decay, such as
cypress. the house is good for a lifetime.

walls of the house are made tight, SO
that the air between has no circulation,
they are a good non-conductor. Shade
trees growing on the south side of the
icehouse assist it. Such a house is
somewhat expensive at first, but in the
long run will be found cheap. 1t ought
to work well i'll the dry, well-drained

in solid, like bricks, to be pried apart as
wanted.-T. V. Munson, in Rural New

WHEN THE DOG WAS SHOT.
Police Auguste Had No Trouble in
linking His PrisOner.

Policeman George Auguste, of the Fourth
precinct, had an exciting experience last
evening with burly negro prisoner and
a yellow dog.
Auguste had instructions from head
quarters to arrest Henry Williams, alias
"Bo." The officer used considerable firm
ness in taking the colored man into custody
Williams resisted violently and made an
assault upon Policeman Auguste.
During the tussle q lank yellow dog,
the property of Williams, came to his mas
ter's assistance. He sprang upon Au-
guste, seized him by the leg and tore his
pants.
Seeing that the combination of man and
dog was getting the best of him. the Of
ficer drew his revolver.
stand back, old man." he said to the
prisoner.
Then leveling his revolver at the dog as
it was about to spring on him again, the
policeman sent bullet crashing through
its skull.
The colored man was quickly subjected
and taken to No. 4, where he is held for
police headquarters.
Williams is the father of Curtis Will
liams, for whom the police have been
anxiously searching for eight months.

The -postponement of action on the public
water works by the Borough Council has
caused considerable criticism by citizens.
Last night several were heard to remark it
seemed strange that at the present critical
stage of the project it is impossible to get
more than a bare quorum of Couucilmen
to attend the meeting. Another meeting
of Council to either accept or reject the
plant has been called for this evening,
The members should attend this meeting,
even if compelled to make a personal
sacrifice, and thus allay the fears which
some citizens seem to harbor by reason of
the postponements.

THE RIOT AT WIN. PENN
Carried Into Court With a Venge-
anCe,
UPWARDS OF TWENTY CASES
Mr.. Bender Makes a statement Con-
corning the Rio and says He
Fired no shots, But Some
Were Fired.

The law suits arising from the riot at
VIM. Penn last Saturday night promise to
monopolize the next term Of court. There
ale now pending upwards of twenty law
suits. Charges and countercharges have
multiplied to such an extent that Justice
Green, who has charge of the VIM. Penn
end of the feud, and Justice Shoemaker,
who has been issuing warrants to the par
Elephants who would not place their cases
before the former justice, have been un-
able to keep track of them. Justice
Green's docket shows nearly twenty cases
and Justice Shoemaker's about ten more.
The charges are of various degrees, rang
ing from simple assault to aggravated as
sault and battery and melting to riot. The
Justices and Constables will reap a harvest
from the affair and the people who may be
obliged to draw heavily upon their bank
accounts. 1t is estimated that even at
this early stage, the cases are so numerous,
it would require about 500, to pay the
costs. The litigations started out eight in
number. Everybody sued turned around
and entered countersuits and swore out an
extra warrant for good measure. Had half
a dozen people been killed in the riot the
excitement that prevails over the
affair at VIM. Penn could hardly have been
greater. Should the cases go to trial the
witnesses will form an army and operations
at the VIM. Penn colliery may be thrown
idle for want of hands. One officer who

that the witnesses to be subpoenaed will
number close to seventy-five. And the
litigations are still accommodating. Last
night Louis Bender, the hotelkeeper, was
again before Justice Shoemaker to answer
a series of charges. He furnished $500
bail for his appearance at court.
Mr.. Bender visited the HERALD office
yesterday and stated that no shots were
fired by him, or anyone else during the
riot. He claims that William Taggert and
others threw stones and he chased them
away from his place, He also says that
two pistol shots were fired from the Tag
CERT house about two hours after the riot
and that no shots were fired at Justice
Green's Office. Mr.. Bender's version, of
course, does not conform with that CLEANED
from other sources, and it will be pretty
hard to tell which is the correct version
until all parties nave their say under oath
before a jury. There are enough versions
to fill a book and the affair will go down
in the history of VIM. Penn as one of the
most exciting events that have occurred in
the place. 1t promises to establish a feud
that will be heard from in the Justices
offices and courts in one shape or another
for years to come.
