New Jerseys Railway Values.

Writing to the Newark Meas, H. B. W.
saws ssThe New Jersey Senate rejected
the Wright bill and the proposition therein
contained to have commission find out
Just how much the railroads in this State
are really worth. Aside from the question
of rates in New Jersey, it would be both
interesting and profitable to the State to
have the actual value and capitalization of
the State railroads, to compare with the
railroad valuations made by the State
Board of Assessors for taxation purposes. F."
A year ago, when the State Board of Tax
alton was in Woodbury., for the purpose of
urging local assessors to be more dilligent
in finding personal property, Carl LUZ,
the Chairman, was asked if the value of
Railway property had yet been acertained,
and his reply was little short Of insulting
to the questioner II there is any good
reason why corporate property in this State
should not be correctly valued, we do not
know it. Perhaps Senator Avis knows the
reason.

DAIRY TALK OF TODAY.

The National Dairy Show association,
with headquarters at Chicago, is plan
ming its second annual show for the
autumn of 1907. It will probably be
held in Chicago.
Cheese Curing Experiments.
In the cheese curing experiments of
the department of agriculture the past
year it was found the cheese that
scored the highest was that which was
placed in cold storage at a temperature
of 80 degrees f. directly from the press.
That which scored lowest was cured
in factory curing room at tempera-
ture of Go degrees f.
Value of Breeding.
More attention should be given to the
breeding of cows by dairymen. A
dairyman whose herd is once made
free from tuberculosis may readily
keep it SO if he grows his own supply
of cows. The conditions for the sure
and rapid sIsead of the disease are
more favorable in dairy than in other
herds because of the large portion of
the time that dairy cows are confined
in stalls in winter or at least are kept
in stables even though not tied.
Cows Should Be Tested.
The dairy interest is greatly ham,
pered in certain states by importing
into them cows that have not been
tested for tuberculosis, says the Araeri-
can Cultivator. AS long as this is per
mitted the dairymen who invest in such
cows will have their own sorrows.
They are just about certain to invest
in some individuals that are affected
with the disease. Such being the case,
it is certain to spread.
Records Of Dairy Cows.
In the twenty-second annual report
of the bureau Of animal industry Clar-
ence B. Lane says: The scales and the
Babeock test are essential requisites
for every true dairyman Records are
valuable because they assist dairymen
to distinguish the good from the poor
cows, assist the feeder in preparing RAJ
tons economically, give warning Of the
approach Of sickness and give inspira-
ton to those who watch carefully for
Improvement Accurate and continuous
records are necessary for best results.
Examples show the impractfcability Of
trying to determine the profitable cows
by mere guessWork One dairyman
found the COW he had picked out for
best to be fifth on his merit list when
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-05-02

/ would say to dairymen, buy reg
istered bull now. In less than three
years you will be milking half blood
dairy heifers, in less than five years
you will have three-quarter bloods,
then seven-eighths, and soon the herd
will be practically pure bred and mon
ey makers. In selecting bull to head
a dairy herd one cannot be too careful
The mere fact that an animal is pure
bred and registered is not enough, al
though very necessary. He should be
from a COW that is really first class
dairy animal, and both of his gran
dams and still farther back should be
high class producers. It will not be
necessary to buy new bull for each
crop Of calves. Breed the heifers to
their own sire before buying new
bull. 1t viii cost less, and the results
will be better than to buy cheap bull
every two years.-W. G. Jeffries in Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer.

How to Clean White Gloves.

White kid gloves may be satisfactori-
" cleaned at home by this process:
Place the glove in small basin and
pour over just enough benzlne to Gov
er, set a plate over the basin, SO as to
prevent the spirit eyaporating, and let
the glove soak for five minutes. Have
a thick cloth ready on the table and a
piece Of clean flannel Take the glove
out of the basin, let it drip little,
place it on the cloth and wipe 1t with
the flannel, changing the surface con-
stantly as it is soiled. The glove must
not be rubbed too hard or the surface
will be spoiled. When the glove is
quite clean, blow into 1t to initiate 1t
and hang In the shade in draft.

THE SKULL. BANJO.
Probably the Most Grewsome Musical
Instrument Knovvr

Probably the Most Grewsome Musical
instrument Known.
1t is a well known fact that through
dire necessity the American Indian has
developed remarkable skill. The old
stories of how these Indians made
pottery aud earthenware by the aid of
only the most crude instruments and
of their methods of burning and cary
ing out the insides Of the trunks Of
trees to make canoes are universally
known.
But even with all their skill the fact
chat they were barbarous, uncivilized
race cannot be eyaded, as is shown by
CHS grewsome instrument. In the time
Of the early settlers of this hemisphere
their acts of cruelty were without prec-
edent in the history Of the world.
With these facts in view we can
easily understand how the skull BAN
jo'' came to light 1t is known that in
the small country of Paraguay, in the
east central part of South America,
the Indians who inhabited that place
were more than ordinarily cruel. They
were constantly engaged in warfare,
and their primary aim when thus en-
gagged was to capture the chief of the
opposing side. When captured, this
parsonage was carried to their camp
and there cruelty murdered, and It
was from his body that this awe inspir-
ing musical instrument was made.
The instrument is made as, follows:
The body is decapitated, and the skull
is then thoroughly dried. The one who
is to perform the feat Of making the
instrument then cuts the top entirely
off. Over the opening thus made a
piece of skin taken from the body and
also thoroughly dried is tightly stretch
ed in the manner of a drum. From the
back of the skull the two femurs or the
two bones of the leg which extend
from the knee to the hip project. These
bones have been so trimmed that they
are of uniform thickness throughout
their entire length. The upper ends Of
these bones are Joined together with
one Of the ribs, also taken from that
body.
Then from the forehead Of the skull
to the rib which connects the two fe-
murs a number of strings are tightly
stretched. These strings are likewise
made from the skin of the victim, hav-
ing been thoroughly dried, stretched
and rubbed with rosin.
But this even is not the full extent
of the grewsomeness of this instru-
ment, for the skull is left so that the
jaws are movable. Therefore with
each shake of the instrument the jaws
wag, and with sharp jolt of the in
strument the teeth come together with
a snap.-New York Herald.

THE REsTFUL HAMMOCK.
How One May Be Made In Spare Mo.
nnents at Small Cost.


rnents at Small Cost.
Every one may have hammock and
for the small sum of % cents.
To make it you require needle
about seven inches long, with big
eye, an iron ring for each end and two
sticks on which to knit the hammock.
Buy two pounds of strong hemp cord
or Irvine, which may be any color OF
combination of coIors you desire Then
you have the materials all ready to
start, says the New York Journal.
A hammock forty-fiye inches wide
will not be too large for solid comfort.
To knit 1t first thread the big needle
and, holding 1t in the left hand, hold
the cord in place with the thumb until
you have looped the cord over the
tongue; then pass the cord under the
needle to the opposite side and catch
it over the tongue. Repeat this opera
ton until the needle is full.
Cut two yard length Of cord and
make loop and fasten to the door
knob or to some other convenient place.
Tie the cord on the needle to this
loop three inches from the end of the
loop.
Place the small mesh stick under the
cord with the beveled edge close to the
loop, and, with thumb on the cord to
hold it in place, pass the needle around
the stick, and then, point downward,
pass it through the loop from the top,
and then bring it over the stick, so
forming the first half of the knot.
Pull this tight and hold in place with
q thumb while throwing the cord over
your hand, which forms the loop.
Pass the needle from under through
the loops and draw fast to fasten the
knot
Hold this in place and repeat the OPP
Grafton.
Make thirty Of these knots and then
push them off the stick and proceed
in the same way with the next row,
passing the needle first through each
Of the thirty knots made for the first
row.
s, The work must be carefully and
evenly done. One is apt to have a lit
tie trouble getting the first row right,
but after that the work proceeds quite
rapidly.

How TO Wash Windows.

/ To wash windows properly never do
so when the sun rays strike them, as
this causes cloudy streaks. Use wa
ter as hot as you can put your hands in
with comfort, since this helps to dry
the window more rapidly. Put a few
drops of kerosene In the water and
use towels free from lint to polish.
If the glass is exceptionally good and
takes on a fine luster, try polishing it
with alcohol and fine tissue paper.
