"Oh, don't you know?" was the in

addressed to the State Board of Agricul-
ture brought forth the following reply
from its secretary:
notice what you say concerning the dehorn-
Ing law. l know of no such law IN New Jersey.
think IL such a bill had been introduced or
such a law enacted we would have heard of it.
see no reference to 1t in recent copies of the
several las. AS to the advertisement sent,
do not remember to have in across Just such
notice before, neither have | heard of any
prosecutions of this character. Under this
twenty five dollar reward offer they might
possibly bring case against a person who
might be practicing unnecessary cruelty" In
taking off the horns of his cattle. but they are
certainly off when they say that practicing of
dehorning Is illegal

public statement on the Philippine
question since the ratification of the
peace treaty in strong speech at the
banquet in his honor given by the Home
Market club at Boston Thursday night,
The president said:
I'VE have now ended the war with
Spain. The treaty has been ratified by
more than two-thirds of the senate OF
the United States and by the judgment
Of nine-tenths of It's people. No nation
was ever more fortunate in war or more
honorable in negotiations in peace.

forestall it's action. only say that the
treaty of peace, honorably secured, hav-
ing been ratified by the United States,
and, as we confidently expect, shortly to
be ratified in Spain, congress will have
the power, and I am sure the purpose,
to do what in good morals is right and
just and humane for these peoples In
