Professor F. G. Minkler, who went to
New Brunswick from the Iowa School of
Agriculture to become instructor In
animal husbandry at the ''short courses in
agriculture established by the state. is
trying to interest New Jersey farmers in
the raising of beef cattle. In New Jersey
the farmers devote their time to dairy
cattle, which are fit, when it comes to
killing time. only for the demands of the
cheap butchers. In the west the beef
cattle industry is an important one. Pro-
fessor Minkler, who has been studying
the situation, believes that breed COM
bining the best of the beef cattle and
the dairy cattle would be profitable for
Jersey farmers and he advises experiments
along that line.
Thus, after the milk of fresh cow had
been exhausted, it would be valuable for
Its beef. He is of the opinion that New
Jersey Is so closely linked with the mar.
kets of New York and Philadelphia that
this opportunity should not be overlooked
and that the markets should not depend
entirely upon the west for its beef supply
Former Governor Foster M. VOORHEES,,
who has 250-acre farm at High Bridge,
has the only herd of Aberdeen Angus
beef cattle in the state, magnificent speci
mems he secured from Iowa. Professor
Minkler took his class over to High Bridge
the other day to look at this herd in order
to provide a practical demonstration tc
the text book teaching and the lectures
which he has been giving the pupils
There are four COWS and eight heifers in
the herd and they were brought from
Iowa last July.
The students also visited the New
Brunswick plant of the Armour Bee
company, where they witnessed the cut
ting of beef, illustrating the lessons thai
they have been studying at the school
The object was to show them the superior
| ity of beef cattle for the market.

In conclusion Superintendent Baxter
says:
During the same school year the sum
of s., 687, $685. was voted for buildings
and repairs and to pay debt and interest.
During the past five years the total
state appropriations have been sufficient
to pay 81 2-5 per cent. of the teachers
salaries, and the school districts have pro.
vided for the remaining AZ 3,5 per cent.
plus the outlay required for all the Other
items Of current expenses.
1.-THE district tax will always be an i'm.
portant factor in school support. Still,
when the railroad tax shall become avail
able, it will be possible to make substan-
tial increase in teachers salaries, improve
school facilities. and, at the same time, re
duce the district appropriations for cur
rem expenses.

TO death.
Jackson Webster, of New York, was ar
rested by Detective Ellis II. Parker. of
Mount Holly, on Tuesday, while he was
playing pool in room near Eighth and
Vine streets, Philadelphia The prisoner
was taken to the City Hall and turned
over to the officers there. He will be
brought here and tried. Webster is &C
cused of robbing Isaac Atkinson, of Col
umbus, of 800 in cash. Ex-Sheriff Will
liam A. Townsend, of the same place, and
a farmer at Woodstown, also accuse the
prisoner of robbing them of $50 each. Ac
cording to the police Webster's game was
to secure job with farmer, and, watch
ing his chance. rob his employer when th'
opportunity presented itself.
After several weeks illness from pa
ralysis, death has overtaken Susan Annie

.HOUSEBOAT PARTIES
TO THE EXPOSITION

A unique method OF handling exposi-

jamestown HousebOat Tourist Company,
organized for the purpose OF conducting
tours 10 the jamestown Exposition from
Washington.
In order to overcome the difficulties
and Inconvenience which invariably re-
suit from crowded street cars and more
or less unsatisfactory hotel accommo-
dalton. the tourist company has hit upon
the novel scheme Of securing q steamer
which will accommodate IN the neighbor-
hood Of 500 people. The steamer will
sail from Washington on Monday even
ings and reach the exposition grounds
on Tuesday morning. where IL will re-
main until Sunday morning, the tourists
having their home upon the steamer
throughout their stay at the exposition
grounds
The plan has many features which
commend il, such as ObviaJing all long

Questioned in
Boise Case.

BOISE, Idaho, May 14.-With all
of the seats in the jury box Occu-
pied, although but four members
had been passed for cause by both
sides and all are still subject TO per-
emptOry challenges, the third day
Of the trial of William d. Haywood
for the murder of Frank Steuenberg
began. The prospects are good for
the selection of at least four jurors
before court finally adjourns today.
Attorney Richardson is deter
mined to secure an unbiased jury,
and his questioning at times seems
TO border closely on the insulting.
This becomes more and more evil
dent as he grills the veniremen sus-
pected of being rabid partisans of
Governor Gooding, who is the real
head and front of the prosecution.

was and IS a Socialist, could YOU give
him fair treatment and render a verdict
according to the evidence and the law
laid down.
All Republicans So Far.
A peculiar fact which has caused con-
siderable comment is that so far each
talesman questioned said he was a Re
publican. This has given rise to the al
legation that discrimination has been
shown in summoning veniremen, but
when questioned on the subject today.
Sheriff 'Shad'' Hodgin resented the i'm
pIication.

he declared. 'and I have had practically
no Information and absolutely no per
sonal knowledge Of their politics. II YOU

and here "Shad" sighed as he realized

meaning clear
