MIDDLEsEX BANKING COMPANY
 SUED

Charging that the affairs of the Mid dlesex Banking company of Middletown are in a precarious condition, and that a vote of the stockholders to reduce the capital stock of the company by one half was illegal Edward A. Bowers of this city has brought suit against the bank through Attorney Daggett for an injunction to enjoin the company from carrying out the purport of this vote'
 MT. Bowers claims in his complaint that he owns ten shares of the bank s stock, each of the par value of $lOO, and that he has made partial payment on twenty other shares. It is set forth that on August 29 last, at a meeting of the stockholders it was voted to reduce the capital stock of the company from GIGS shares of the par value or $6fb, SOo to S,384 shares of the part value of S3SS,- 400. By the terms of the resolution by which this reduction was made the stock of the bank was to be recalled and the certificates for 50 per cent. of the original holdings of each stockhold- CT was to be issued. In the complaint Bowers alleges that the trustees and officers of the company have been seek ing to reduce the capital stock of the company by getting the stockholders to voluntarily release their stock He also claims that the vote by which this was done was irregularly passed. It is claimed that the law requires vote of two-thirds of the outstanding stock, and Bowers claims that although the motion for the reduction was carried two-t thirds of the stock was not repre- sented; also that the officers illegally used proxies on stock that of right should not be voted.
 The matter is brought to the super for court, and Judge Case yesterday as signed it for hearing on Monday.

A Livestock Hint.

In the speed and power of their

directed energy. However great may
be the work of live stock breeders, is
must take second place when COM
pared with the improvement in corn.
For it is corn that makes their work
possible. Our corn crop is of greater
national importance than all the live
stock raised 1t has a large and ever

The Largest Lump Of Ice.

The largest mass Of ice in the world
Is probably the one which fills up
nearly the whole of the interior of
Greenland, where it has accumulated
since before the dawn of history. It
Is believed now to form block
about 100000 square miles in area,
and averaging mile and half in
thickness. According to these statis-
tics the lump of ice is larger in
volume than the whole body of water
In the Mediterranean, and there is
enough of it to cover the whole of the
United Kingdom Of Great Britain and
Ireland with layer about seven
miles thick. IL 1t were cut into two
convenient slabs and built up equal
ly upon the entire surface of gal
liant little Wales" it would form a
pile more than 120 miles high. There
is ice enough in Greenland to cover
the entire surface of the United
States a quarter of mile deep.

Roots for Pasture.

Experiments have repeatedly shown
that it pays to let swine do their own
harvesting with certain root crops, al
though it must be remembered that
other feed constituting as nearly a bal
anced ration as possible must also be
fed Mangles or beets (sugar beets)
sown now and cultivated more or less
during the summer will make pas
ture crop on to which the swine may
be turned in the fall with excellent re-
suits When turned on to such a pas
ture they should be permitted to do as
they please, which is generally to con-
suhe the tops and then dig out the
roots.
OF course, the seed must be sown on
fairly good soil and soil that does. not
bake too hard, else the swine can not
get at the roots. We make it a prac-
tice to turn them into this field for
about two hours daily and keep up the
barn feed of mixture of corn meal
and middlings, which, with the roots,
constitute an almost perfect ration.
Sometimes the pasture is varied by
giving them turn on to the last crop
of rape or on to grass of some kind
and the change is satisfactory. Handled
in this way the cost of preparing the
hog for the fattening period is COM
paratiVely small and the animal is in
excellent shape to take on weight
quickly.-Indianapolis News.

Black Knot on Plum Trees.

1t is getting to point where we
must fight this enemy of the plum or
give up this excellent fruit. We take
the following from the Country Gen
tleman:
Now is the time when the orchard
should have thorough going over for
the removal of black knot. Every plum
tree should be closely examined before
the leaves put out. Every knot should
be cut away, carried off and burned. No
exceptions should be made even for
large knots which appear on the main
branches. 1t is better TO cut off a
tree next to the ground than TO leave
large knot standing to infect the
orchard A thorough removal of all
knots will usually prevent any no.
ticeable damage. In fact, we have
never known of any difficulty with
black knot where an orchard was care
fully looked after. 1t has been shown
however, that the disease can be con-
trolled even under considerable disad-
vantages by spraying. The spraying,
however, should always be reinforced
by pruning, just recommended. Early
spraying with Bordeaux mixture is
most effective, but summer spraying
undoubtedly serves to some extent to
hold the black knot in check"

Usinu a Separstcr,

Much of the trouble with the cream
a contributor in Farm Stock aud
Home, the result of a misconception on
the part of the dairymen and of will
full Misrepresentation on the part of
the separator company or agent that
sold the separator. Whenever it is
stated that it is not necessary to wash
the separator bowl every time it is
used, or that it is possible to properly
wash it without taking it apart, the
person making such statements is
either ignorant or a knave. In either
case he is mis-stating facts. 1t is true
that visible dirt may be washed OF.
but the worst form of filth, the filthy
bacteria, remain and develop, ready to
contaminate the first cream that passes
through it. Not even the agent that
may make such statements would be
willing to eat from dishes that had
been washed but once a day. If we
examine the argument, we soon see
how false it is. For instance, if it is
possible to use the separator twice
a day and wash it but once, why may
we not use it three times or four times
without washing? Or if it be possible
to wash the machine without taking it
apart but once a day why take il
apart more than once in two days or
three or four, ad infinitum?
The sooner users of farm machines
awake TO the fact that the separator
must be thoroughly cleaned every time
it is used the sooner it will be pos
sible to deliver cream in frst-class con-
dition. Another defect is the result of
holding milk and cream on the farm
too long. This is especially true with
cream. 1t is true cream may be kept
sweet for several days, but under the
existing conditions of the average farm
1t is impossible to keep cream free
from bacterial contamination; and

ever, of the day on which John Paul
Jones body arrived at Cherbourg was
the real funeral of Seaman Rodgers
of the Chattanooga, who died yes
terday in the Civil hospital here
from nephritis. In the afternoon 100
sailors and firing squad of marines,
accompanied by the scarlet coated
band of the Brooklyn, marched to the
hospital and received the body. The
escort was augmented there by a
detachment of French sailors and
soldiers and number of professional
mourners. The route was lined with
spectators. Thousands of the inhabit-

along, the band playing the Dead
March in Saul. The body Of blue
jackets mourning their comrade
marched in perfect alignment and
step. AS the coffin passed the male
spectators removed their hats, and
The women crossed themselves. The
coffin was draped with the American
flag, and was fanked by six mess
mates of the dead sailor. Arriving at
the cemetery the escort formed a
hollow square about the grave, and
the Episcopal burial service was
read. Then the firing squad deliv-
cred three volleys, mourning taps
were sounded on the bugle, and

Coffee Acts the Jonah and viii Come Up

A clergyman who pursues bis noble
calling in a country parish in Iowa
tells of his coffee experience:
my wife and l used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find place on our table.
''In the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting. which
we had great difficulty in stopping.
ut seemed to come from coffee drink
ing, but We could not decide.
"In the following July, however, she
was attacked q second time by the
vomiting. l was away from home fill
ing an appointment at the time, and on
my return found her very low; she
had literally vomlted herself almost to
death, and it took some days to quiet
the trouble and restore her stomach.
~ had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved 1t each time by resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the Use of coffee was at
the bottom Of our troubles, and so we
stopped 1t forthwith and took on Pos
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms
Of disease disappeared, and during the
Q years that we have been using Pos
tum instead Of coffee we have never
had recurrence OF the vomiting. We
never weary of Postum, to which We
know we owe our good health. This is
