Newark Voice ON Hudson's Con-
so1idation.

The Newark Evening News had a
long article on Friday last upon the
Greater Jersey City scheme. AS might be
expected, it was largely made up of igno-
rance, prejudice and conceit. Perhaps no
better illustration of its tone could be
given than this single sentence
Although it was within the power of the
Governor to make the commission Repup-
lean In politics, he had regard TO the
fact that Hudson county has a nomina
Democratic majority, and, therefore, 50
constituted it that it stands thirteen Dem
ocrats to twelve Republicans.
Just what the News means by a
s.nominal' Democratic majority. it may
know Itself; but we confess we can see
nothing in the expression but a proof OF
innate malice
Regarding the consolidation itself, the
s'News' pretends to see in it a scheme
to unload on the townships a portion OF
Jersey city's debt, and it pretends to
municipalities of the county may lose
some OF the advantages of their indie
pendent existence. 1t is hardly possible
that the News really thinks this. 1t
must know that the danger, so far as the
debt is concerned, is rather the other
to guarantee the debts of all the one
horse boroughs and towns, which have
been floating bonds pretty freely of late
years, and it will have to assume be-
sides. about four-fifths of the county
debt as its share of the common burden.
The fear that the municipalities will
lose "some of the advantages of indie
dependence is simply grotesque. What
are these advantages? Are they to be
found in low grade officials, rotten police,
almost total absence of fire protection,
total lack of all public improvements?
Tfese are the advantages of indepen-
dence to the smaller municipalities of
Hudson. OF course, we do not mean Ho-
boken, nor altogether Bayonne. Both of
these places are big enough to have
emerged from the first stage. of unbaked
5obbery. Yet, we believe, both Of these
cities will profit by union with Jersey
City, and by the vast gain of wiping out
the present crude and lax county sys-
tenn. It is almost trite to speak of the adj
vantages gained by union of weak NUM-
cipalities- They are so obvious that even
the Newark paper must see them
through the sand of jealousy and raneor
which blinds it's eyes.
The News does not want to see a
greater Jersey City come into existence,
because it would put Newark in the
shade. It's position Is dictated by mere
e~el7shness. 1t is plain, however. that it is
willing to be bribed into consenting to the
consolidation. Tt closes its article with a
demand that Harrison and Kearny be
turned over to the "Greater Newark"
This is presumably the price that is to be
set on the eleven votes of Essex in the
Assembly.
But It will not do. Dur representatives
will vote to give Newark the Oranges and
one or two other towns in return for
Essex votes for our consolidation. But
Hudson is already one of the smallest
counties in the State. We need all our
territory for future expansion, and we
will not give an inch of it to buy off any

Almost all farmers grow some sage
for home use in making dressing for
roasted turkey and chickens. In the
olden time, when cheese making for
home use was common, sage was
usually put in one or more of the
cheeses to improve the flavor and
make variety. There is no more
wholesome seasoning than sage. Most
others, especially the boughten spices,
pepper, allspice and the like, brought
from the tropics, are too constipating
for health. Sage is not so, or at most
only in very slight degree, and as it is
always used as condiment with fresh
meat, which is laxative, it does good
rather than harm. Those farmers
who grow sage have generally an
active demand about holiday time
from their neighbors who have been
less provident, and they have enough
demand in their own >neighborhood to
take all their surplus. Sometimes,
however, the well-to do neighbors are
ashamed to take SO little thing as
this for gift, and what pennies they
give for sage much more than pays
the expense Of caring for the bed

want to accomplish each task of diff.
ferent character. For instance, in a
large house there is "Aoor boy"
whose duty it is to keep all the beau
tiful hardwood floors in a clean and
shiny condition, and this is the way
he does it: The dust is first carefully
brushed up with hemp arrangement
which in its effects is q cross between
feather duster and hearth brush.
This is merely preliminary to the
act of polishing, work Of art which
has been developed on original lines.
Two large, soft cloths are laid on the
floor, and the "boy," who may be a
grandparent, firmly plants foot on
each. He next glides slowly back
and forth on the floor, more like a
man on snowshoes than anything else.
Waddling along in his flimsy white
clothes, casting an occasional look
behind at his trail to see il it is suf-
ficiently shiny, he presents picture

Disposal of Potatoes Inclined to Rot.


Potatoes from fields affected by
blight should he kept by themselves,
so they can be disposed of first and
in ways that might not be open to the
disposal of the whole crop. Where
blight has appeared in n field, except
1t be the early blight, the tubers from
that field will rot, to some extent at
least, when placed in an ordinary eel
lar and exposed to about all kinds of
temperatures above freezing. The
first care Is that none of them be
saved for seed, as they carry the my
celium of the diseases over from year
to year. In disposing of them two
ways are open. One is to sell them
for use Mt once, even if they have to
be sold at n small sacrifice. If they
go to hotels or other places that use
large quantities of potatoes they will
probably be used before the rot be-
gins to make itself manifest.
If the potatoes must be kept, il can
only be i'll cold storage of some kind.
If dug late in the fall and the weather
remains cool this may sometimes be
accomplished by putting the potatoes
into the cellar and keeping the cellar
cool by opening the windows at night
and keeping them shut during the
daytime. This will keep the temper
ature down TO point where the con-
cealed fungus will not develop. Later
the tubers may he pitted.

Too Much Pollen for wintsring.

1t has been claimed by apiarists
that have tested the matter to some
extent, that bees will winter better il
not allowed to partake of pollen, but
con Aimed on combs of honey alone. /
think some attention should be given
to this matter in arranging hives for
winter. / am satisfied that in some
cases where n large amount of pollen
filed the combs which the cluster of
bees Occupied during the winter, did
not winter well. Dysentery showed
itself 10 some extent in almost every
case in such instances, but we might
attribute this to the fact that they
were confined to the combs contain
ing pollen, and were obliged to par
take of it or starve.
believe they should not be con-
fined to such combs, but do not be-
ieve it necessary to entirely remove
hem fr ON the hive. The frames of
comb that generally contain pure
honey are found on the outside of the
brood nest, and those that contain
pollen are always found next to the
brood, and as this is the case the bees
are likely to occupy the combs con-
tanning pollen for their winter quar-
ters. This can be controlled to quite
an extent, and all l think really nee
essary is to remove the centre combs,
OF those combs containing pollen, and
place them at the outside, and the
combs that contain honey next to the
bees.
If this is done and the bees con-
fined on combs of pure honey, we
think no damage will be done by them
partaking of the pollen at their pleas
ure. 1t is very necessary that bees
have good supply of pollen in early
spring, and if possible we prefer to
have it in the hive where they have
access to it when needed. 1t is true
that we can furnish a substitute in
the shape Of meal, ETC., but can only
do soon days that they can fly and
work on it. 1t often occurs that a
large amount of pollen is stored on
the combs. and as it is exclusively
used for food for the young bees, il
naturally is stored near the brood
nest. The amount of pollen stored
depends on tue supply. Bees seem to
be ms eager to gather pollen as to
gather honey, and o'ten a large re-
serve is on hand. "A. II. Duff in Farm,
