DELAYING THE LAWS.

One result OF the unnecessary pro
longation Of the session Of the Legis
lature is that it will postpone indef
nitely the publication of the volume
of the laws passed, and also the print
ing of the Senate Journal and House
Minutes. The delay in the issue o.
the volume of the laws will do doubt
encourage the agitation in favor of re.
turning to the old plan of advertising
them in the newspapers, under which
each law was published within a few
days after it was approved by the
Governor or filed with the Secretary
of State.
Last years laws were not published
until about election time; the volume
of the House Minutes for 1906 has not
yet been distributed. There is not
much use in protesting against delay
in the publication of the annual re-
ports when the Legislature sets SO bad
an example. Trenton Times.

GEORGIA (" DRY"

There are only fifteen counties in
Georgia which vote license, against $50
which are " dry" and this appears to
explain why the Georgia Legislature
is so overwhelmingly in favor of pro-
hipition law applying to the whole
State. Atlanta and the other license
cities are making every effort to de-
feat the measure, as it will mean the.
loss of some 81, 100000 Of public rev.
enue, but there seems to be no chance
of their succeeding. Governor Hoke
Smith has announced that he will do
nothing to prevent such enactment.
1t will greatly hearten the prohibit
tionists Of the country, who have been
striving against pretty continuous
series of reyerses for many years.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
FEEDING GROWING .L,ous.

Corn is one Of the best fattening
grains we have, but 1t Is one of the
poorest grains for growing animals
when fed to the exclusion Of other
products. 1t cannot be used for the
formation Of bone and muscle, because
1t contains no nitrogen, one of the ele-
ments of muscular tissue. Further
more, corn is deficient in ash constitu-
ents, and consequently in bone form
ing material.
1t Is probably not putting the matter
too strongly when we say that fully
40 per cent Of the veterinary Inquiries
concerning hogs can be answered by
directing the inquirers to feed less corn
and more heterogeneous feeds, such as
oats, barley or. wheat or some of the
byproducts, such as bran, oil meal or
tankage, depending upon their respec-
tive market values. So long as farmers
continue to feed their swine, especially
during the period of rapid growth, q
ration composed almost exclusively Of
corn just SO long will they continue
to have disease among their hogs.

THERE has been a serious epidemic
of typhoid fever in the State Hospital
for the Insane at Trenton, and the
matter was taken up by, the State
Board of Health. According to DR.,
Mitchell, of that Board, accumula-
tions of filth were found upon the
premises; there were ten open priyy
vaults; the utensils used in the
dairy, the milk cans and the pump
were unclean.; heaps of manure were
found in close proximity to the dairy {;
and there was garbage dump within
one hundred yards of the open Spring
from which water has been taken for
use In the hospital. This spring, it is
said, has been under suspicion ever
since typhoid fever first made it's APP
pearance at the hospital three months
ago. If, as Health Officer Fell sus-
poets, the disease germs were carried
by flies, the unsanitary conditions re-
ported by DR.. Mitchell, who is cor
roborated BY four representatives of
the State and city health departments
will explain the cause of the epidemic.
1t may have been due to the unclean-
illness in the dairy and the poisoning
of the milk sapply;or to the garbage
dump near the open spring. One
could not imagine such state of af-
fairs at the Morris Plains institution
under its present management.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN announces in
the Commoner," that it is becom-
ing more and more evident that of the
economic questions three, the trust
question, the tariff question and the
railroad question, will share public at
tention, and these three really present
the same issue between the general
public and the privileged classes shall
the Government be administered in
the interest of the whole people or in
the interest of few? This is the
issue presented by the trust question,
the tariff question and the railroad
question. Government ownership is
not an immediate issue. A large ma
jority of the people still hope for eff
fective regulation, and while they so
hope they will not consider ownership.
While many Democrats believe, and
Mr.. Bryan is one Of the number, that
public ownership offers the ultimate
solution of the problem, still those
who believe that the public will final
ly in self-defence be driven to owner
ship recognize that regulation must be
tried under the most favorable cir
cumstances before the masses will be
ready to try more radical remedy"

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
a. PAYABLE IN ADVANCE -

J. FRANK BURKE, the agent for the
Anti-Saloon League, in an open letter
has cited Assemblymen Chaplin and
Buxton to appear before him at the
corner Of the Park next Friday night
to answer questions which he proposes
to ask them. He further states that
he has sent copies of his letter to all
of the clergymen of the county and all
of the newspapers. Two newspapers
at least have failed to receive the let
ter so far whichdiscredits Mr.. Burke s
fairness. 1t is safe to say that neither
of the assemblymen will attend the
meeting as they doubtless feel that
they are responsible to the party that
elected them by large majority in
spite of the opposition of many of the
persons who are now presuming to call
them to account. If a majority of the
Republicans in Morris county favor To-
cal option they can elect delegates to
the county convention which will nom
mate men who will vote for it.. But
for men who do not and will not vote
anything but a Prohibition ticket to
arrogate to themselves the right to die
tate the policy of other parties or to
quiz their candidates borders upon i'm
performance.

Clover as a Dairy Feed.

Glover If cut early or at the right
stage and cured we'll makes rough
feed for the COW that is exceeded only
by alfalfa and is, therefore, one Of the
most valuable rough feeds that we can
raise for feed for the dairy COW. It Is
very high In protein, and when fed
with ensilage and the common farm
grains, with the addition of very lit
tie mill feed, such as wheat, bran or
oil cake meal, it makes a ration
that is commonly called balanced, or,
in other words, it helps to supply the
required protein or nitrogen that is
necessary for the use Of the cow in
keeping up her full normal flow Of
milk for long time.
When feeding clover in connection
with ensilage it should be fed at the
noon hour and the ensilage night and
morning 1t is very necessary that the
COW should be fed one dry feed day
at least.

some recommend, and it Is not neces-

them in small yard away from the
other poultry, keep the yard clean and
also the coops used nights, which
should be supplied with fresh litter
often.
To fatten quickly, vary the food as
much as possible. Corn and oats
ground fine, moistened with sweet milk
or buttermilk, will fatten fast Corn
and wheat are good, fed whole, If grit
enough is supplied the fowls to grind

with cornmeaT makes a good fattening
ration, also pumpkins and squashes.

Tendency to Degenerate.

In all pure breeds the original scrub
blood at the foundation is ever seeking
to reinstate itself. In short, there is
tendency in all pure bred animals to
degenerate or retrogress toward origi-
nal and less perfect types, and nothing
will more surely and speedily stimu-
late this tendency than lack of nutri-
tious food. In the absence OF sufficient
nutrition the possibilities Of perfection
inherited from pure bred sires or dams
but partially materialize or wholly fail
to assert themselves.-Wisc Ex-

Hoes po WeIl on Pasture.

Hogs running in a woods lot in which
there is considerable growth of grass
and an abundant supply of water will
make as much growth as If fed on half
to two-thirds rations in pen or small
lot. Where they can root freely, they
seem to find a-plenty of very varied
food. All during summer there are
many grubs and worms, besides the
grass and grass roots, that they like.
They do better on pasture, part in
grass, clover or rape, with access to
woods, than on any of them alone.

DIR. Leslie ID. Ward

Dr. Leslie D. Ward of Newark is
well-known in Morris county on ac-
count of his strong Republicanism and
his high standing as a financier. In

the State. In 1900 he was a delegate
to the Republican National Conyen-
tion at Philadelphia and four years
later to the Chicago convention which
nominated Theodore Roosevelt for

natural ability in caring for the sick
and wounded, and after the war he
entered the New York College of
Physicians and Surgeons. He was
graduated from medical college in
1868 and began the practice of medi-
cine in Newark. He soon became one
