West Horton Place Property
Owners Sustained in Objections.

The Suburban Railway Company was
yesterday ordered by Judge John ". Nc
chimney of the Clayton Circuit Court to
move its tracks off West Horton place
between EendOme avenue and the city
limits.
The order was given in an opinion hand
ed down in the Injunction proceedings of
Harry W. Swinhart and others against
the railway company. The plaintiffs live
along the street and complained that the
company had laid tracks for switching
purposes in front OF their homes. and was
thereby causing irreparable injury to their
property.
Under the terms Of the injunction, which
is mandatory in form, the company was
ordered to move its tracks. poles and
wires within the next ninety days. and to
cease from leaving cars standing in front
OF the West Horton place homes, or to do
any more switching there. The company

Grain We. Meat for Ducks.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

GO1tOTE TTORTG6@1V
Some very instructive results were obtained
from a New York experiment, noted by the De-
partment of Agriculture, in feeding young ducks
ON grain and meat ~rations contrasted. Thirty
two ducklings were fed a ration of mixed grain
and skim milk or curds containing no animal mat
ter. Thirty-two other ducklings of similar size
were fed mixed grains with animal meat and
fresh bones or dried blood. Both were well bal
anced rations. In the first ration all the protein
came from vegetable sources and in the latter
about one-half of it was from animal sources. It
was soon noticed that the animal meal birds were
developing rapidly and evenly; but that the grain
fed ones were becoming thin. It was a contrast
to see the long necked, scrawny granted birds.
with trough full of good, apparently wholesome
food before them, standing on the alert and
scrambling in haste after the unlucky bug or hop
per that ventured into their pen, while the meat
fed ducks lay lazily in the sun and paid little at
tention to insect life. The thirty-two meat fed
birds lived and throve, but at the end of the ff-
teenth week, thirteen of the grain birds had died
and the others were in poor condition. The re-
mainder were then fed four weeks on the meat
ration and made rapid gains. Rations are recon-
mended in which forty to fifty per cent of the
protein is supplied from animal sources.

TO SELL BERKSHIRE PIGS.

ssTwo Things Necessary: Have Good, Thrifty Pigs,
Then Advertise in The Progressive Farmer"
Editors Progressive Farmer:
Replying to your card, I am glad to say that
two things only are necessary to selling Berk-
shire pigs.
1. Have good, thrifty pigs.
2. Advertise in The Progressive Farmer.
My difficulty has been to get pigs enough to
meet the demand. For nearly a year I have been
unable to supply the demand. Then it is a pleas
ant set of men who read The Progressive Farmer.
1 have sold 142 pigs since advertising with you;
and every man, except one, was well pleased with
his pigs. This exception was nv fault. By some
means I sent a pair of pigs that proved un-
thrifty. I was sorry and offered to send another
pair as a present.
I am fully persuaded that good Berkshire hogs
have a great future in this section. I have sows
that will weigh 400 pounds walking over my lu-
cerne pasture grazing with sheep. They make
their own living; and they are fat now. Of
course I shall feed them when they have pigs.
But give a dry SOW (Berkshire) a lucerne pasture
and she is no more trouble than a sheep or a
calf.
Then, if progressive reader, you have never fed
a Berkshire pig that runs on a lucerne pasture,
you don't know yet the full pleasure of fattening
4 thrifty animal. They seem as healthy as noun
tain air and sunshine.

cause trouble. The first two mentioned can be
helped by feeding green succulent food, introduce
ing fresh COWS, and causing a vigorous souring
of the cream. Having the churn so full that
there is not enough space left for conclusion, is
a very common trouble, and one of course that
can be easily remedied. There is probably more
trouble caused by not having the proper tempera-
ture than from all other causes combined. 1t is
necessary that a thermometer be used If success
is to crown your efforts. When people boast about
churning in about five minutes you may make
up your mind as the quality of butter produced,
and that the hogs get their share of the butter.
WHEN TO STOP oHURNING.
The churning should stop when the butter
grains are quite small, then the butter-milk can
be more thoroughly removed. After the butter
has been drained free of the butter-milk, it should
be washed in two changes of cold water, the tenn
perature depending upon the season. Butter
should not be allowed to stand in cold water.
After draining, the butter should be weighed
and spread out evenly on a b~utter-worker. It
should still be in that finely divided condition.
Three-quarters of an ounce of salt to the pound
should be sifted evenly over it's surface.
When butter is made as directed above, there
is no butter-milk to be removed. The working of
such butter is simply to thoroughly incorporate
the salt. insufficient working is the cause of
streaked butter. If this occurs, working the but
ter a second time will generally remove the trou-
BILE.
PACKING THE BUTTER.
The butter should be put up in a neat, at
~tractive package. The stamp should be distinc-
tive, having name, initials, or some original de-
sign on it to serve as a trademark. Be sure
that every pound of butter bearing that stamp is
up to the standard, and have that standard high.
There Is always a good demand for good but
ter at good prices. Everyone wants good butter.
No one wants poor butter at any price. Learn to
produce goca butter. Never produce any other.
Let your stamp be a guarantee of the contents of
every package. Use business methods; advertise;
encourage inspection of your dairy and methods
of handling your products. If these things are
done n any intelligent manner, the dairyman will
receive his full share of the wealth, pride and
prosperity that go so far towards making up a
happy contented life.

There is a growing appreciation of the utility,
as a feeding stuff, of corn stover, a substance
which has heretofore been wasted throughout the
country. It is estimated that at the nominal value
of one dollar a ton, the corn slower crop in the
United States would be worth at least 100000
900. Few things that grow, it may be noted, are
as completely utilized as corn. The grain is en-
ployed as food for human beings-.as meal,
hominy, grits, and in many other forms--and
for cattle. The blades and stalks are valuable
fodder; the pith of the stalks is used in making
smokeless powder, paper and varnish. A way
has been found to utilize the cobs in the manu-
facture of briquettes. Starch and glucose are
additional articles of which corn is an ingredient,
and millions of bushels of this most versatile of
our products are used annually in the prepara-
ton of whiskey and spirits.

Introducing New Blood in Poultry.
Chapel Hill, N. @.

Does it pay to introduce new blood in your
focks? In answer, I will say it pays, and pays
well. How many farmers wives takes off a goodly
number of chicks and inside of three weeks, how
they have dwindled down. I will say that fully
two-thirds of them died of nothing but weak con-
situations, and I warrant if you will make it a
rule to get new blood every year, you will raise
three chicks to your one now. About February
1st / set two hens with twelve eggs each. One
of my new neighbors had some nice looking
Plymouth Rocks, so I thought [ would try a set
ting of her eggs. Out of the twelve eggs three
failed to hatch, three died after being pipped in
the shell, six Matched and one died in the nest
after Matching. and since taking off [ lost another,
leaving me four chicks to date. I have found out
since that they keep the sam old roosters year
in and year out. Another hen, out of twelve other
eggs, Matched eleven fine heavy bone chicks and
every one of them is alive and growing nicely. I
want every farmers wife that reads this, and
thinks it not worth while, to test it. Go to some
one who adds no new stock, set two hens at the
same time, one with your neighbor's eggs and one
with your own, then you will be convinced.-Mrs.

NATIONAL FIRE OOFING
CO.

1t is an interesting fact and an in
dustrial honor that the three leading
hreproofing plants in this vicinity
comprise the largest branch of the
greatest freprooing c in the
country. This is true of the three
plants of the National Fireproofing
Company,known as the Perth Amboy
Plant, the Standard Plant and the
Raritan Plant. The parent concern
is well entitled to the leadership of
the fireproofing companies of the
country, or at least the East, from the
extent and size of its branches. 1t
includes in all thirty-two plants, GOV
ering several states and employing a
veritable army of men. The local
factories, together with the Lorillard
plant, at Keyport, form the chief
group, and have an annual output of
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

100000 tons. Among the list of
thirty-two branches are the following:
Raritan, Perth Amboy and Standard,
this city; Lorillard, Kcyport; Port
Murray, N. j.; Bridgeport, Conn;
Washington, d. c.; Sandy Run juno
ton, Pa Boston and Ncwburyport,
Mass; eight plants in Pennsylvania,
four or five in Ohio; and several in
Illinois, including Chicago and
Indiana.
The first plant, the nucleus of the
present giant system, was established
in Pittsburg, where one of the largest
branches is still maintained. The
owners of the company which rap
idly grew, at once, upon investigation,
recognized the unrivaled advantages
of the territory along the Raritan,
and they decided to invade this terri
tory.
Their first move in that direction
was the purchase of the old c. Par
dee works, adjacent to the present
Pardee plant. This first purchase
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

has been frequently enlarged and is
known as the Perth Amboy plant.
The Lorillard works at Keyport, the
Raritan works and the Standard plant
at Keasbey were purchased in rapid
succession, and have grown to their
present great proportions. These
four plants cover, in all, an area of
twenty acres, and in them, is employed
an army of 1880 men, the three local
plants making up 900 of the total
number.
James c. Rossi, general superin-
tendent Of the four above named
plants, is in charge of, in all, eight
branches, as follows: Bridgeport,
Conn; Washington, ID. c.; Sandy Run,
Pa; Port Murray, N. J.; Lorillard,
near Keyport; and the three plants at
Keasbey. To his indefatigablc ener-
gy is due the growth and prosperity
of the plants under his supervision.
Each plant has an individual supcrin-
tendent.
The Raritan plant is under Victor
