We are asked when man, a farm
er, should quit work-that Is, how old
he must be to justify his letting go.
That depends. In way, man who
has been used to hard work all his life
should for his health's sake never quit
entirely so long as his strength lasts,
but after he is sixty we think that he
has earned the right to do only just so
much hard work as he feels like doing
and of just that kind which he really
likes to do. This should be the old
mans privilege.

What is known as "dry farming" .
new method Of treating the soil OF the
arid sections so as to conserve what
rainfall and moisture are available, -
working wonders through large sec-
ton Of the great American desert.
Crops Of winter wheat, averaging
twenty-five bushels to the acre, have
this year been grown In Wyoming,
Colorado and other arid desert local
tiles where It was generally supposed
nothing could be raised without irri-
CATION. Deep blowing to form res
ervoir for the scant rainfall and con-
tinuous surface cultivation until the
crop is well started are the secrets Of
success. Irrigation, drainage and dry

1t is almost certain that winter wheat
could be grown quite bit north of
the present northern line of the winter
wheat territory II some means could
be easily adopted to retain the winter
snowfall on the wheat. This could be
done by planting corn six feet apart in
rows, leaving the stalks out all winter
and sowing the wheat in the we'll cul-
tivated space between the rows. A
field so treated would retain the snow
all winter and perfectly protect the
wheat 1t is not the freezing which
kills winter wheat, but the alternate
thawing and freezing and drying out
Of the ground.

ABOUT A PIE,

We had occasion to buy pie-a
pumpkin pie-recently. We obtained it
at a caffetaire which the best cooks of
the ecity-ladies-were supposed to sup
ply, and we took the pie without ques-
ton upon the strength Of the reputa-
ton Of the institution. Dear me, how
we got fooled! That pie was conceived
In ignorance and brought forth in in
competence culinary aggregation of
-four, lard, uncooked pumpkin and
sugar, with a crust like hard pine
shingle and barbarian slop for q
filling which the hogs would shun:
This thing cost 20 cents, good stiff
price for first class pie. 1t needed
hammer and cold chisel to quarter it.
And this was supposed to be the prod
uct Of up to date twentieth century
cooking! What was the woman think
ing of when she concocted this abom-
nation? Wonder who she was and
what sort Of husband she cooks for
Why has he not sued for divorce be-
fore this, or is she killing him by
inches, he fooled in the belief that she
is good cook, after all? Women are
witched today, on art, music, clubs and
public affairs when one-half Of them
need nothing so bad as to learn the
simple A B c of good cooking and
home making. Young man, look up
the cooking pedigree Of the girl you
are thinking Of marrying, for If you
marry girl with pretty face and
who makes pies like the one we bought
you have struck proposition which
will worry you as long as you live, If
she doesn't kill you Off pretty young.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY.
The crop production Of this year is
going to result in the accumulation Of
a vast amount of new wealth, especial.
ly for the great west and the north
west and southwest sections of the
country. It is Of interest to speculate
what use will be made Of this new
wealth, the larger part Of which will be
In the hands of the farmers of the
country. Interest rates are already
low, and it looks as though they might
be still lower. We think that one result
will be an active and upward move
ment In farm land, tho source OF this
newly created wealth. We do not look
to see so much readiness to put money
into wildcat schemes as there has been
and more of tendency to buy good
acres at home rather than wild acres
on some distant frontier Some of the
years surplus can we'll be devoted,
first, to the payment Of debts, and,
second, to the Improvement OF the
farm home and surroundings. Every
owner Of a good farm should have a
modern home in which to live and have
we'll bred stock and good place to
keep them The BEST there Is Is none
TOO good for the up to date farmer.

We are often asked where is the best
place to keep seed corn after it has
been selected and gathered. In y
general way, it may be said any place
is good where the frost will not touch
it during the winter. This may be
down in a dry cellar-no better place
than this-or it may be in an attic or
unused chamber Of the house. The
barn, the corncrib and over the grain
bins are each bad places for it. Any
way, it needs picking and drying be-
fore it is frozen, or, no matter how
good care you may take Of it during
the winter, you will be simply caring
for corpse.
We are asked whether it pays farm
er to save his own garden seeds. We
think not, as general thing A few
sorts, such as pumpkin, squash, melon,
cucumber, beans and peas, it is we'll
to save, but for the rest they can be
more cheaply obtained from some reli-
able seed house. He should not fail
to save his own seed corn, however,
and the saving Of 1t is one of the most
important duties which the fall brings.
1t sometimes happens that grandpa or
grandma will take lots Of pleasure
and much pains to save a supply of al!
garden seeds, which they should be by

Nothing Of Great importance
SEVERAL CHANGES IN METHODS

New York, June II, 1905
To the Honorable Mayor and Board Aldermen, of the City of Perth AM
boy,
Gentlemen; In compliance with your request we have cxamin-
ed the books of the City of Perth Amboy, covering Il period of two
years from March ist, 1908 to February 2sth, 1908, and beg to submit
the following Report as the result of our investigation:
M TAX BOOKS:
L. The Assessors of Book and 8 of the Tax Books for 1908
seen to have handled their books with very little care. We found in
all forty-seven error in the fooHngs and computatonsA
Book /. The valuations showed a total o" $3,067 $500, while the
correct figures should be $3,07sO27.OO, or $4,000 more. Many err
rrs we're made in the computation of taxes, amounting in all to an
overcharge of $S43, and a n undercharge of $25.33. The assessor no
doubt would have discovered and corrected these errosif he adconformed
tohis duty to wit: footing the amount of taxes o each page, but this sim
pie and commendable measure IA apparently omitted entirely.
Book 2, conhaaed favorably with Books l and 8. Only one error,
consisting of al overcharge of 81 90 in taxes, was found.
Book 8. The valuations showed a total of 81 36.209.00, while the
correct figures should be s. ,769, 2S4.00, or $33,O75.00 more. The errors
in computation amounted in all to an overcharge of 1854 and a under
charge of 1910. Our remarks referring to Book also apply to this
book, in regard to the omission of footings.
2 The Tax Books for 1904 were comparatively well kept We
found only six errors in the computation of taxes, amounting in all 10 an
overcharge of $500, and In undercharge of $3.91,
The Tax Books contained 10 summary, neither of the valuation nor
of the tax amounts. The City Council or the Collector should insist upon
being furnished with a summary from the assessors when they have
completed their work.

Bonds Belonging to Sinking Funds: AS stated in our Schedule
No. /, City Bonds amounting to- SIG, 100, belong to the Sinking Funds
We we're shown these bonds. which were deposited in a safe with Perth

blank, and not dated. Coupons of lntercst wcro attached to the $10,
900. Assessment Bonds fromS 1902, and to the Fire Department Bonds
from July 1904. The coupons@attached to $1,000, Assessment Bonds
and to the Fire Department Bonds were not signed. 1t is hardly nee
essary to add that these defects should be remcdicd.
Interest to Sinking Funds: 1--WE note that no Interest o N the Anici-
patton Bonds'issu by the City to'thc Sinking Fund has evor been paid
to this Fund, also that the coupons n some of the DO IDS belonging to
the Sinking Fund were not redeemed BY tho City (se abovo).
Poll Tax Levied 0 other pers IN than Property Owners: No &C.
count is opened in the Ledger for this tax until it is collected. Instead
of this loose method a proper accounting should be established and en-
forced, and for this purpose this tax should be treated in the Ledger ex-
acuy in the manner that the other tlxes are treated.
IRA Balances: No proper record of Trial Balances is in existence.
q tral balance book should be KEEP and balances taken monthly.
n regard to Changing the method of bookkeeping, o recommend
that Cash Books, prepared in accordance with the enclosed four drafts.
be kept by the Collector and the Treasurer. We also enclose draft OF
