Sowing Spring wheat in the Fan.
To d:ternine the practicability of
sowing spring what in fsll, and also.
the time to SOW for best results, fifteen
sowings Of a yeriety known as Yellow
stone Fife were made at different in
tervals during the fall of 1894 by the
Montana Experiment station at Boze-
man. Beginning Aug. 8, a small plat
was sown each week until the ground
was frozen and winter began, Nov. 10.
Early seedlings made nice growth and
were In good condition when winter set

partially, and the latest showed no
damage from the winter-killing, the
ftand being almost perfect. The plats
were irrigated twice and kept free
from weeds. The first six plats sown.
from Aug. 8 to Sept. II, gave an aver
age yield Of 3.3 bushels per acre. The
next five plats, seeded from Sept. q
to Oct. 10, yielded an average Of 12.7
bushels pr acre. The average yield Of

Bicycle Tires to BE wider.


There are many new things offered
In the bicycle line for 1897. Every up
to-date manufacturer will introduce
new attachments and alleged improve
ments in the details Of his machine,
while the freak inventor has been more
than busy with his strange and won
drous devices. In the great mass of In
ventions there are some few things Of
real value. The construction Of bicy-
cles to order is yet in its infancy, but
It ts q growing industry, and thou
sands Of devices which will never be-
come general will be utilized by indi-
viduals. The most radical departure
In 1897 will be an increase in the d.
mansions of pneumatic tires. The av-
erage tires are now from 1 1-2 to 1 "a
inches wide. Wheels thus equipped
will look awkward at first, but the
safety itself was ungainly in its day,
when cOntrasted with the high wheel.
The wide tire is now safer than those

T.kins Care Of the colts.

The season has arrived when the
weanling colts should be especially
cared for and not be exposed to the
cold rains and sleets Of early winter.
The foundation laid in the constitution
Of the colt determines the usefulness
and value of the horse. 1here is too
much carelessness among the breeders
In their attention to the comfort Of the
growing colts. If they are exposed to
the cold rains and sleets they are liza

Fssai.s OH Meal.

Some caution should he exercised in
feeding linseed meal to horses when
engaged in active work, lest the bowels
become unduly lax. The oil meal
should not compose more, perhaps,
than one part In twenty Of the whole
grain ration fed. To colts, however, It
should be fed more freely. In the Sea-
son they can probably use from one
fourth to one.half pound per day. It

PuAisAea ~ IN HneAantsr.
One evening toward the close Of the
last century q traveller aliehted at .
little inn in the town Of Wurzburg.
Germany. He was tall, dark and rath-
er somberlooking.
In the morning one Of the maids of
the inn told tho landlady that, listening
at the strangers keyhole the night b.
fore, abe had heard him in earnest CON
versation with e3me perS N or thing,
and vet no one had been seen to enter
the room. She gave the information TO
the justices of the town, and sundry
officers were speedily assembled about
the strangers door, and heard the fol.
lowing conversations:
ssrhou misinformed offspring Of our
uncreated power-thou whom have
% long aought--thUu shalt escape mo
no longer. Answer me! Come, my
black barbet, change my costume.
How thy black hair rises on end, thy
Dody swells. and thy red eyes sparkle!
II thou, indeed hast submitted
myself to me show thyself, demon,
and sreak to thy MASTER"
At this same moment distinct smell
Of burning birthstone caused the stout
burghers to draw their noses away
from the dor, and stifie their coughing
rs best they could.
A sharp, shrill voice was now head
to answer:
master. what dost thou desire of thy
servant?"
The door was burst open and the
stranger dragged before the magis-
trates, charged with being in league
with the devil. The stranger quietly
said:
81 had begun a tragedy; but as my
friends disturbed me continually at
Weimar, where live. came to write
here. The hero Of my tragedy il Z

TALK 1T OVER.

I have learned some things in the
course of long business life and still
have great many others to learn.
But the chief thing I have learned can
be condensed into one nugget of wisdom
in three words, Talk it over"
If thy business enemy offend thee,
don't smite on the cheek. Take him by
the buttonhole ia a friendly manner and
talk it over.
Some one tells You that Smith, down
the street, has said or done something to
your detriment Perhaps he has, and
perhaps he has not. If he has, your best
policy is to prevent his repeating his re-
mark or deed in the future. If he has
not; you don't want to do him an in
justice even in your own mind. Put on
your hat, leave your temper at home, go
down and make a friendly call. Be
neighborly, frank, open. Tell him the
truth and ask him for equal frankness.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine times out
of thousand the whole matter will be
explained and Strengthened out in five
minutes, and you will part as personal
friends rather than as personal and bust
ness enemies. You will both feel better;
you will live side by side in harmony, the
earth will be brighter, the sunshine
clearer, your own heart lighter, and
mankind take on more friendly aspect.
Don't get mad and rush TO your desk
and send a scorching letter; be man
and Christian and go yourself. Talk it
over. Exchange.

WHATEVER is to be said as to the cor
rectness of the Rev. Mr.. Batten's gener-
alizations regarding the sin of Morris
town, about which many differ, his de-
tailed statements of facts are, we regret
to say, entirely accurate. We sincerely
hope, for the sake of the innocent, that
the cases will come to public trial, as
some worthy business men who conduct
their business In a reputable manner,
lie under suspicion on account of the
sweeping character of Mr.. Batten's
charges. We are just afraid that while
Mr.. Batten's course was quite courageous,
it was not well calculated to bring about
this result, though we shall be glad if
it proves that we are mistaken. The
CHRONICLE has from time to time
pointed out the weakness of our police
force and its failure to enforce the ex-
else and similar laws. If Mr.. Batten's
sermon will bring about an improvement
in this respect, much good will be done.
We renew the hope we expressed several
weeks ago that the Grand Jury will do
vigorous and thorough work.

GOOD ROADS, AND WHAT THEY COST.

The following is good thing for the
public in general to study over, and
the taxpayer can learn some things also.
The census returns show that there are
in the United States about 10000 900
horses, and 2 ,000,000 mules. The annual
cost of feed for these animals is about
$1,575, 900, 900. On fine stone roads one
horse can haul as much as three horses
can haul over the average dirt road in
this country. 1t is estimated that it
would be necessary to build up 100000
miles of macadamized road in the United
States in order to have as good system
of public highways as is found in several
European States. At $4,000 per mile
this would involve an outlay of $4,000,
100000, pretty large sum.
But if one-half of the draught animals
could be dispensed with by the building
of such roads, there would be an annual
saving of $788, ZOO, 900 in the feed bill.
This is three per cent interest on $685.
900, 10000 Consequently, if road bonds
were issued, bearing three per cent. in
terest, more than 100000 miles of
macadamized road could be built with
out increasing the annual expenses one
dollar. The people are actually paying
three per cent. on $s6, 900, 100000 in or
der to keep up the present bad roads,
while it would not cost them one-sixth
of that sum annually to build the 1,0QO,-
900 miles needed in order to put this
country on a par with France in the
matter of good roads.

A CHANCE FOR FARMERS.

A correspondent informs us that 5000
copies of pamphlet issued by the
Agriculture Department at Washing
ton on the cultivation of the sugar beet
and its convention into sugar have been
circulated throughout this Compression al
district. The CHRONICLE has not re-
ceiyed copy Of this work and so far as
we have seen not word has been said
by the press of the county on this very
important subject. Intelligent observers
of the farming interest in this region
can readily see that little is being done
to improve the condition of the farmers.
Why would not some new industry,
such as the cultivation of the sugar beet
serve to build up interest in farming and
cause an increase instead of depreciation
in the value of farm lands. Ia perfect re-
liable farmer, whom we all know, tells
us that there is nothing in the soil or
climate of Morris county to hinder the
successful cultivation of the sugar beet.
If some of our farmers would take hold
of this industry we have small doubts
that it would prove successful and pro-
vide much needed boon for farming in
this section of New Jersey.

WHAT WE ARE SAVED FROM.

The following interviews with notori-
GUS race track gamblers, given at time
when they thought the anti-gambling
amendment was rejected, shows what
might have been expected had that been
the case. They are ''the same old gang"
still and anybody who banks upon the
leopard having changed spots will be
everlastingly fooled. Happily their pow
er for harm has been greatly curtailed.

Gloucester race track, when interviewed
q day or SO after the election when asked
eff he expected to make move before
the next Legislature to secure a law
permitting racing" said:

now" he answered. 81 will say though,
that such a law will be enacted by this

will remember that | drew that other
limited racing bill myself"
Additional returns were handed him
and he laughed, remarking:
"Well, this is funny. Up in Plainfield
they rang the church bell to get the peo-
pie out to vote for the amendment. They
expected to carry the town by six or
seven hundred Instead Of that it has
gone our way by about the same figures.
Oh, we carried the State by from fifteen
to twenty thousand and we're all right. .
Other prominent race track men were

SOUND RESOLUTIONS.

There is no uncertain sound about
the resolutions adopted at the Sussex
County Republican Convention. The
gathering was harmonious and enthusi-
astic. Among those adopted we note the
following:
We heartily reaffirm all of the princi-
plesof the Republican party as declared
by the National Convention, held at st.
Louis, in 1896, and especially those re-
lating to protection to American Indus
tries, the maintenance of a 100 cent dol
lar for the American toiler, and the SUI
premacy of law and order.
We congratulate the country upon the
election of Mckinley and Hobart. and
rejoice at the advancing tide of prosper
ity which has already started the wheels
of industry under the policy of their ad-
midistration.
We are sincerely thankful for the sue
cessful passage of the anti-gambling
amendment to the State Constitution Of
New Jersey, at the late election, and we
rejoice that the people of Sussex County
declared themselves on the side of law
and order.
We congratulate Hon. Mahlon Pitney
upon his triumphant reelection to the
Congress of the United States from this
District, and rejoice in his continued
success as our able representative in the
halls of National legislation.

ENTERTAINMENT NOTES.

Mrs. Willis entertained friends at luncheon
last Thursday.
There were several pretty and enjoyable
euchre parties last week.
Mrs. Twombly gave a beautiful dinner last
Friday evening at her country house at Madi-
son.
The dates for the Assemblies for -98 are
Monday, November l; Wednesday, November
"a; Friday, December 81: Monday, February
81; Monday, April II. The dates have been
most carefully arranged and these dances
promise to be quite as attractive as those of
last year They are to be managed by Mrs.
Murray s. Day.
The Golf Club Friday night dance was like
the others of the series, a great success. The
bright autumn flowers were beautifully ar
ranged and the music was excellent. Among
those present were Mrs. Ames, Mrs. Willis,
Mrs. Jaqueline Smith, the Misses Grannis,
Kip, Howell, Egbert, Macy, Walker, Lewis,
Jones. Willis. Hoy, Bushnell, Underwood,
Smith. Messrs. Lyon, Lewis, Hoy, Forbes.

THE Republicans of Sussex County in
convention at Newton on Saturday NOM
mated Theophilus Address, M. D., of
Sparta, for State Senator, and renomi-
mated Horace E. Rudd for the Assembly
and named ex-Sheriff Gunderman for
County Clerk. The nominations are
strong ones, and with the Democrats of
Sussex still at odds on the financial ques~
ton there should be no doubt of the cleo
ton of the Republican candidates.

it was easy TO see that the amendments
would never be approved by the people
of New Jersey. There were many, even
among the church-going element, who
were strongly opposed to the proposed
amendments on the grounds that they
would be unconstitutional and SAVIOR too
much of the old blue state laws.
'The effort to pass this constitutional
amendment has completely proven that
the people of New Jersey are not OPP
posed to racing. 1t is my opinion that
in the near future bill limiting racing
and placing it under proper restrictions
will be asked for and will be successful
without doubt
