The February meeting of the Board
of Trade, which was to have been
held the 17th of this month, took place
in the Farrelly Building Monday
evening. The question Of larger
water mains was discussed and asl a
result the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t mas developed at recent
fires that the efforts of the tiremen
are seriously handicapped by lack of
water. caused both by lack Of pres
sure and insufficient size Of the water
mains, which, for instance, are only
six inches in size on South street, and
three inches on Maple avenue; and
Whereas, The lack of pressure might
not be SO serions menace II the
water mains were larger, so that a
full engine service could be secured
therefore,
Resolved. That the attention Of tht
Board of Aldermen be called tx
the matter. and that it be urget
to take such early action as il
deems best to secure more ade.
quate water supply.

FIELD CLUB TO MAYOR FOX.
Very Properly Asks for Punishme nj
Of Thieves.
MORRISTOWN FIELD CLUB.
Office Of the President.
50 Wall street, New York,
February 90, 1909.
Hon. Norman Fox, d. D.,
Mayor of Morristown.

@~A <A
Dear Sir r:--
| On behalf of the ESQ members of the
Morristown Field Club I beg leave to
call your attention to the frequent
acts Of thievery from which the Club
has suffered and in that connection
to refer to the great number of SINH
lar occurrences in town in the past six
months.
The Field Club buildings have been
entered three times since last Novem-
ber The culprit in the first case was
captured. In the second case we have
no evidence, but have strong suspi-
cions. The third case occurred Mon
day night, Feb. 17th. The bowling
alley and shooting gallery were en-
tered and property to the value of
above four hundred dollars stolen.
TO get at the goods closets were forced
and the interior of the building in
jured. The articles were hidden by
the thieves in an unoccupied building
where by good luck they were found
and returned to us. Doubtless the
energy of the police alarmed them, and
forced them to get the things out of
their possession. Just as their pursuit
of the thief who stole box Of valu-
ables from DIR. Hughes the night Of
the fire on South street last week
frightened him into returning the
property.
But good citizen should not be
content with the return Of his proper
ty. The community is entitled to
protection against the lawless and
this protection can only be had
through relentless pursuit and prose-
cution of the culprit. The police Of
Morristown are deserving of much
praise for their diligence and intelli-
gence but when the property is re-
turned and consequently not traceable
into the hands of the felon it is
difficult or impossible to obtain pro-
per evidence except through the testi-
mony of some friend, companion or
neighbor of the thief. To procure
such testimony we ask that the city
offer a substantial reward for the ar
rest and conviction of either or both
of the persons who robbed us on Fe-
bruary 17th to which reward the
Field Club will gladly add the sum
Of fifty dollars. We make this offer
and request not only for our own pro-
lection in the future but because we
believe that the conviction of these
people, or one of them, would go far
toward putting an end for time to-
the frequent cases of pilfering in the
town which have hitherto gone un-
punished.
Yours respectfully,
ELLIOT SMITH,
Prest.

from the cutter, for old and young
fowls In winter mix it with cut clover
soaked over night and for grain feed
wheat. or oats with occasionally lit
tie corn. In summer the fowls have
free range and can get plenty of grass
and in winter get all the cut clover
they will eat. The wheat is fed in
scratching shed a foot deep with
leaves. At this season farmers and
poultrymen have pullets which they
wish to lay. A bone cutter would be
profitable investment. The cut bone
is just what the poultry need. 1T is

CORN DIET FOR HENS.
Many PouItrymen Advocate 1t, AI-
though Grain IL Not by Any
Means IN Ideal Ration,

One reason why farmers do not re-
al-ze more from their poultry, | believe.
is because they make corn the main
diet Corn is considered by them to
be the cheapest feed and the handiest
to feed, for, by throwing it out on the
ear, the hens are given more or less
exercise in picking it off, hence the
owner is saved the labor of scattering
the grain in the litter for the fowls
to scratch out. But | have little faith
in this plan of exercising and feeding
fowls, says V. NJ. Couch in the Poultry
Monthly. With a good many farm
ers corn is probably a cheap food, but
even this depends somewhat upon the
season of the year, the climate and
whether the hens have free range or
not. In cold weather corn may be fed
quite literally to laying stock without
injury, and also to fowls having farm
range, but when given in the way that
many feed it, by spreading it on the
ground before the hens three times
a cay, all they will eat, believe that it
is expensive hen feed. Very many at.
tribute the increase of eggs to corn,
when, in fact, the corn has produced
eggs more by keeping the hens warm
than through the supply of egg ele-
mtnts afforded.
Eggs cannot be made to any great
extent by corn alone, or for long
time, for the reason that a hen fed
nothing but corn will be unable to
supply the mineral elements of the
eggs, and while she may by eating
largely of corn find sufficient nitrogen
fer an egg. she will sooner or later be-
come excessively fat from too much
carbon. \ very economical and good
feed for winter egg production is
mixture of clover, cut in half-inch
lengths and scalded, with corn meal
and bran. This is a very complete ra
ton on all the elements necessary for
eggs. 1t supplies bulky food, promotes
digestion, affords n variety and costs
less than any other food that | have
been able to get. When a hen leaves
corn for other feed, it means that she
wants something not fully supplied
by corn. Without exception, the best
results may be had from a varied diet,
and while hen may do very well on
corn, she will do better on a variety.
1t is not an easy matter to make up
a perfectly balanced ration for a lay
ing hen. While she is producing eggs
she will use a vast amount of raw ma
terial, but if she stops laying a corn
diet will soon ruin her. A concentrate
ed food for hens should be avoided.
Milk added daily to other food assists
largely in supplying many needed ele-
mcnts not easily obtained from other
sources. Glover, vegetables, milk,
meat and corn or wheat are better than
any single article.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1902-04-10

Hens deprived of green foods will
not lay as well as when their needs in
this direction are attended to. All the
turnips, beets, carrots and roots. of
all kinds, large and small, should be
saved and given them. These veg
etables and herbs are good for poultry,
COWS and hogs. They are a good sub
stitute for green food for hens. Peel
ings of potatoes, turnips and veg
etabes of all kinds, including apple
peelings, should be saved for the poul-
try. Cut up fine and boiled and mixed
with mash feed for the fowls, this
furnishes them a splendid food. Such
savings will be worth dollar a bushel
in winter and will do the hens more
good than they could do the hogs if fed
to them.-Eastern Shore Farmer. ,

SIMPLE HOG CHUTE.

one-half inch rod connected to eye
on one side, and hook on the other
to hook in an eye-bolt on the other
side, keeps the sides from being
pressed apart. If desired the bot
tom can be made the same width
and length of wagon-box, which
when taken down makes good
cover for box or rack for hauling
hogs. | consider a hog chute an in
dispensable device on n well ar
ranged farm, and this one is SUI
perior to any l have seen, the ma
jority being so clumsy and heavy
that it takes two or three men to
move them. But this one can be
taken on the wagon where needed;
then it adjusts itself to any height
of wagon or any place.-W. b. Os-

There is much land that will not
be again valuable for generations
except to the state. In the refor-
esting of lands the adjacent prop
erty is often as greatly benefited as
the area in forest. The state can
thus derive a larger revenue from
the work than can any private indi-
vidual. The state can afford to re-
forest land even if the annual direct
income from the reforested area be
only one per cent, for the people of
the state reap other benefits from it.
No private individual can afford to
invest money with so slight annual
retmrns -EarmerS' Review.

seem to be pretty much the same
as the leading Mediterranean
sponges, which go under the names
of "horse," bath" and ''zimocca."
Though for general purposes there is
no better sponge than the Florida
sheepswool, some of the foreign
sponges, such as those used in sur
gical practice, are more delicate and
bring much higher prices-occasion
ally as much as $50 a pound.
The possibility of transplanting
to our own waters some of the best
of the foreign sponges has been seri-
ously suggested. 1t is thought that
small colony of them, properly
cared for and used for propagation,
might form beginning from which
a valuable industry could be deyel-
oped. One difficulty in the way of
this kind of submarine agriculture,
if such a term may be applied to the
planting and reaping of an animal
crop, is that the sponge fishermen in
Florida are mcuh opposed to it. They
fear the absorption of the business
by capitalists.
Meanwhile, the Florida sponge fish
cry is being rapidly destroyed by
overfishing and lack of protection
An incidental cause of trouble is the
so-called "black water which comes
about once in a decade and destroys
the sponges, causing immense num-
bcrs of them to float up to the sur
face of the sea. Some think that this
poisonous water is due to submarine
volcanic disturbance, but the ques-
ton = in dispute. In 1873 there was
a plague of this kind so disastrous
that all the sponging grounds from
Cedar Keys southwark to 40 miles
north of Key West were ruined.
The Florida sponge fishery yields
about 100000 pounds of sponges every
year. More than seven-eighths of the
business is carried on at Key West,
where the sponges are prepared for
market by permitting them to rot in
the sun: then, after being washed
clean, they are sold at auction. The
sheepswool sponge, for most pur-
poses, has no superior anywhere, be-
ing more durable than the best Medi-
terranean sponges, though somewhat
coarser. 1t grows to good CONNER
cial size in one year.

Gasoline is, it appears, the fuel most
suitable for submarines; but human
sensations give no more warning when
its collected fumes are becoming dam
gerous. White mice, however, are said
to be extremely sensitive to this poi
son. and perish incontinently before
human beings begin to suffer the
slightest i'll effects. SO in all subma-
rines of the future cages full of white
mice are to be kept on the floor, whence
the heavy emanations gradually rise,
and it will always be some ones duty
to go around and see how the mice are
getting on.-COuntry Life.
