CONCERNING MUZZLlNG IN
PLAINFIELD.

Concerning the ordinance requiring
the muzzeling of all dogs recently
adopted by the Plainfeld Common Coun-
Gil the Courier News of that city re-
marks:
1.-The publication of the order requir-
ing the use of muzzles was needed by a
few people at the start, but they seeing
hundreds of dogs roaming about with
ont muzzles and viciously attacking the
muzzled dogs which had no means of
self defense, soon prompted the removal
of muzzles and the order is now practi-
cally dead. One OF its clauses really
nullifes the order, by providing that
any enc seeing a dog without a muzzle
may make complaint and the police are
then required to dispose of the animal.
Since the matter waits on the complaint
and no one makes complaint, there will
be no muZzles used.
This is not as it should be- 1t hap
pens about the only persons who use
muzzles are those owning dogs that they
put value on. while the worthless
CANNES, that do the most mischief
when any is done, have no owners,
when the muzzle ordinance is revived or
the assessor comes around

Funds Needed for Extension.

The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago,
an institution with wonderful record,
has issued an appeal for funds. Super

great as to render it difficult to retain
any considerable portion of the students
for the whole two years course.
"Since MIR. Moody founded the Insti-
tute in 1899 over three Thousand men
and women have received training here,
and have gone forth to labor in home
and foreign lands. The need and oppor.
tunity for the kind OF training here
given in the English Bible and practical
Christian enterprise were never greater.

A WARNING.

The long trial of the Paterson silk
weavers for contempt of court in VIC
lating an injunction restraining them
from interfering with workers has been
ended and two men have been fined and
sent to prison and six girls simply fined
by Vice Chancellor tPitney, This
should be warning 10 other strikers,
but that it may not be to certain Pater-
son weavers is shown by what was said
at a mass meeting held to consider the
action of the court. 1t was said there
that the strike would be lost if the in
junction were obeyed and that claw or
no law" the strike must be won.

Governor Voorhees, says that reports
of the Governments usurpation of ri
parian rights claimed by New Jersey
were found to be without authority. He
had made careful examination of the
correspondence concerning the Cragin
application for lands in the vicinity of
Ellis and Bedloe Islands, and in the
communications from the harbor line
boards he could see no well grounded
reason for believing that there was an,
desire TO restrict New Jersey in the use
or privileges Of its land under water.

Says the Newark Sunday Call, of
which w. T. Hunt, who recently spoke
in Morristown on the sewage question
"The Morristownss officials seem to
favor connection with the Summit
joint sewer. instead of providing means
of local disposal 1t is to be feared that
this feeling is due to fear of being
able to meet the responsibility of caring
for a disposal plan. Whether Morris
town will be permitted to enter the joint
sewer, and whether it will not be re-
quired to pay more heavily than is esti-
mated for right of way, are among the
doubtful questions involved. That the
cost of the sewer and tunnel proposed
would be only $2S0,00O is, however,
quite incredible, and this estimate
should be Immediately revised.

Sewage Disposal.

To THE EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
For years now the trend of scientific
opinion has been towards the utilization
of sewage, to make it benefit, instead
of wasting it in river or sea, to become
dangerous nuisance.
No doubt the day is not far off when
the disease breeding covered sewers will
be abolished, and sewage be carried out
side the town or city at night, In auto
mobile "excavators, to works in which
it will be converted into fertilizers and
by-products; the sale of which will pay
for all expenses or even, if there are no
politics, -" bring profit to the town or
civ that will enable lowering OF its
tax rate. When that day comes 1t
would be feather in Morristown's cap,
and a pecuniary advantage, If it had
kent in the van in the worlds march of
progress.
1t has therefore been suggested that
for the present we continue our system
unchanged, with two important excep-
tons, viz
LIST. To place by law all the existing
cesspools within the city limits under
the absolute control of our municipal
authorities.
and. 10 engage an expert to at once
put these cesspools in the best possible
sanitary condition, and to frame rules
for futnre guidance.
The sewage to be removed, which
would obviously not be increased In
amount by these steps, wonld temporaii
ly be disposed of just as 1t is now; but
the town would be in position to take
prompt advantage of any improvements
in the metho g of conveyance and utili-
zation. Gradually, but surely and
economically. we would attain the best
results.

will be nearly made up by the great
crops of Ksffir corn and alfalfa that have

have not been materially affected by
the dry weather In addition to this
there are 10000, 600 bu hels of old corn

The continued wet weather has almost
ruined the wheat crop in Hunterdon
county. The indications were that the
wheat crop would be the largest that
Hunterdon county has seen in many a
day. Ten days ago the crop had
ripened and the farmers entered their
fields with their reapers and nearly the
whole crop was cut and placed in
small shocks, Then it began raining
and it has been raining almost daily
ever since, SO that the grain could not
dry sufficiently to be stored away, The
grain soon began sprouting and now
the farmers assert that it has been
entirely ruined as far as flour making
is concerned.

THE LAW ABOUT FEATHERS

passed by the Legislature SO that the
birds might be further protected, and

ranged that the New Jersey game laws
protect gulls, terms and all other wild
birds, also their nests and eggs, at all
times. Exceptions, hawks fish hawk
is protected), crows and the English
sparrow and game birds in their season.
The penalty for violation of this
law is that any person found destroying
wild birds or their nests, or taking their
eggs, shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and when convicted therefor, shall be
fined So for each offense, and IN addi-
tional SIS for each bird living or dead, or
part of bird or nest or eggs possessed in
violation of this section, or to imprison

WHAT TWO PLUG HIRED MEN DID.
Here is the record made by two
brothers-hired men and foreigners
during the past six years: They drop
ped down in America ignorant of the
English language and without money.
They were healthy. husky and indus
trious and at once found places as
hired men on western farms. They
worked three years and saved every
cent of their wages possible. At the
end Of three years they had cash
capital between them of $1,000. They
then went up into central and western
Minnesota and bought 800 acres Of
land on easy terms and at a low price
compared with its value today. They
have been favored with good health
and good crops and today are well
fixed, discOunting the future payments
! due on their land and with a well i'm
proved farm and a lot of valuable
stock as visible assets. These meT
were not highly educated-just common

an exceptional case at all. Its counter
part may be found in almost an!

There is a territory embraced in the
central parts Of the states of Kansas
and Nebraska as large in area as one
good state for which alfalfa is to be-
come the modern redeemer, converting
lands of uncertain productiveness into
the garden spot of the continent. For
that region ana for the people who live
there there are but one text and one ser
mon which needs preaching, and that is
that alfalfa-the one plant which defies
the drought and hot winds-dOes its
own irigating by making every root a
subterranean pump, which always gives
TO the soil more than it takes We do
not often feel like advising as to loca-
ton and land investments. but will say
that if we were in search Of a location
today we would look up these semiarid
cheap lands in the states mentioned,
where alfalfa will grow, for the cheap
est milk, beef and pork in America can
be there produced.
