HINTS FOR FARMERS
To Obtain Fertile EGGS.

The number of hens to be allowed
with each male bird to obtain fertile
eggs differs, of course, according to
the nature of the bird, but, as a rule,
breeders especially amateurs are not
so careful as they might be in this
matter. Some put only four hens with
cock, and the result is number of
infertile eggs, whereas if seven to ten
hens were the number nearlN every
egg would prove fertile There are
naturally exceptions, but this is GER
tainly the rule. A Cochin cock will
take from four to six hens and a
Brahma from six to nine, while in a
number of the other breeds one cock
with eight hens or even a dozen would
not be too many. When fowls have a
large range, half as many more hens
may be allotted to one male bird and
the eggs will prove more fertile. AS a
rule, however, from six to ten hens is
the most successful number This sub
ject of mating is not SO we'll under
stood as it should be, and breeders
should give more attention to the mat
ter and by means Of experiments cas-
lily discover the best number of hens
to one male bird suited to the particu-
lar breed they keep.-London Illustrat-
ed Mail

NO DISCRIMINATION

Emilio Feriaki, whose name indi-
Gates that he is "a foreigner, was ar
rested and fined 1928, so, at Somerville,
a few days ago, for violating the game
laws by killing q blue-bird. He was
probably ignorant of the law, but his
ignorance did not save him. At New
ark, Police Commissioner Frederick
Castle displayed in front of his
premises the carcasses of two deer,
killed by him in Maine. The law
makes it unlawful, for three years
from June 10, 1906, "for any person to
gun for or to have in pos
session any wild deer, be the same
buck, doe or fawn, under penalty of
800 for each offense, +" and the having
in possession Of any such deer during
the prohibited time "shall be prima
facie evidence in all courts and places
of the fact that they are in possession
unlawfully."
The facts have been widely pub
lished, and the matter was reported
to two game wardens, but no action
was taken against Mr.. Castle, probably
because he is Police Commissioner
No doubt he was ignorant of the law.
but there is less excuse for his ignor-
ance than for that of Ferliaki and the
hundreds of other foreigners who are
every year prosecuted for such VIOLA
tions. He can read English; they
probably cannot.
There is one law for Italian day
laborers and for American police com
missioners. II it is not to be enforced
honestly and impartially, it should be
repealed, and If the Essex County
Game Protective Association is worthy
of its name it will see that the law
is enforced without regard to persons.

Big Tax Payments

The largest single payment of tax to
this city is that of 1929, 436.73, by the
Prudential Insurance Company. 1t is
the largest amount Of tax ever paid by
any property owner in New Jersey.
Nearly oEe-half,of this tax is on per-
sonalty, The average Of personality
assessed in the State is about 16 per
cent. ofthe total valuation. This large
tax income is not due merely to local
property growth. 1t has been created
by an institution national and inter-
national in the scope of it's business,
and by virtue of the fact that it's prin-
cipal Office is located in Newark The
next largest taxpayer is another insti-
tuition of a similar character, the
Mutual Benefit, which. having its
principal Office here, gathers millions
of wealth from all parts of the coun-
try and brings it within the operation
of Newark's tax laws. If our city was
the home city Of twenty such institu-
tions the annual tax income would
amount to SIS 900. 900. which would go
very far toward reducing the Newark
tax rate to the minimum Z Newark

Paterson,s sewage disposal

Governor Stokes has signed Assem-
blyman Klenert's bill authorizing Pat
ersOn to erect sewage disposal plant.
The law authorizes any municipality
to issue bonds for the erection of a
plant for sewage disposal, which may
be located either within or without
the boundaries of the municipality
under certain restrictions. In case it
is sought to locate the plant outside
the municipality the consent of such
municipality, through its local Board
of Health and governing body, must
be asked. Ii this is refused an appeal
may be taken to the State Board of
Health, which on the other hand, is
authorized to prohibit the erection Of
snch a disposal plant. Authority is
given by the bill to the municipality
erecting the disposal plant to contract
with other municipalities for the dis
posal of their sewage and to lay the
necessary pipes and conduitS. The
cost is to be covered by bonds. which
may be Of fifty years. duration, and
the tax for the raising OF which is to
be eliminated from the authorized
bonded Indebtedness of such munich
pality and from the maximum tax
rate to be levied as otherwise provided

The prx Cows.


There are men so generous that they
will actually feed a COW on straw all
winter and then swear at her because
she does not give more milk. The
winter time, when most of the cows
are dry, is the time to prepare for next
years milk production. There is moth
ing surer than this fact If COW runs
down i'll flesh in the winter time, she
will not be a profitable mixer during
the next summer That is one of the
fundamental mistakes which a great
many of our dairymen are making
with reference to the feeding of cows.
A great many farmers cows are so
thin i'll the spring that it takes them
half of the summer to recover from
the bad effects of the winter. There Is
another reason, and very important
one, that cows should be fed well DUR
ing the winter time when they are dry.
1t has been demonstrated that the eff
feet of poor feeding upon the progeny
is very marked, and one of the reasons
why so many cows are Improbable
mixers is because they were not prop
erly fed when they should have been.

Keep the Hoapen Clean.

Filth breeds disease in the hogpen
the same as in the poultry lot. If dirt
and trash are allowed to accumulate,
there is an outbreak of disease one of
the very first things to do is to clean
things in general. The small hogpen
should be cleaned out every week. The
pigs cannot remain healthy if they
have to eat their feed in their own
filth When the weather is dry scrape
the trash together with a scoop and
throw it out of the PEN Nothing is
lost by occasionally giving the pen a
sweeping with coarse broom. This
should especially be done If the pigs
ar expensive full bloods.-Chicago In

A GORGEOUS MiIlinery Season

The millinery display at L. S. Plaut
& Co. IS, Newark, eelipses all previous
showings in splendor and variety. All
shapes are shown, but public favor is
between big and little, fiaring brims
and dropping effects, flowers, plumes
and ribbons. Fancy feathered novel
ties are conspicuous, as are bows,
rosettes rom pons and plumes, all of
which are at the very zenith of popu-
larity. 1t is evidently part of
fashions plan to make the small hat
as conspicuous as the large one
through trimming effects Besides
the felt shapes, hats of all sorts of
material are shown, possibly velvet
leading. This season is noted for
superb color effects, though refined
beauty prevails throughout. Latest
tidings from the Bee Hive European
representative say that furs are being
used chinchilla, first call, combined
with lace, velvets combined with fox ;
seal combined with velvets. No store

THE ringing charge of Justice Pitney
in the Hudson county courts and his
order to the Grand Jury to indict the
Election Board and the committee
men as an example to registry and
ballot-boX suffers should be effective
in putting an end to such practices.
The crime charged against these men
goes to the very roots of our govern
ment. The man who openly breaches
anarchy the overthrow of government,
Goes, as Justice Pitney says, less
practical harm to the institutions of
civilization than the man or men who
endeavor, by fraudulent voting, to
overthrow the legitimate will of the
people in any election. The effect of
the crime is so fundamental that it
should arouse in every right-thinking
man resolution to do all that per-
mits to check it,"

Worms In Horses.

The following is standard remedy
for worms in horses, says the Atlanta
Constitution: One dram of tartar emet-
ic, one dram of copperas, two drains of
eottonseed meal. Mix the above and
give as one dose night and morning for
week. Then give purge of one
ounce of spirits of turpentine and one
pint of raw linseed oil. After three
weeks repeat the entire treatment in
order to destroy any worms that may
have Matched from eggs during that
time, because the medicine will not
destroy the eggs. During the interval
between the two courses and for two
or three weeks after the last course
give the following tonic: Four ounces
of powdered saltpeter and four ounces
of powdered copperas. Mix together
and divide into twenty-four powders
and give one every night in a small
bran mash.

The proposition of Comptroller
Ridgely to the national banks of the
country, to release their bonds for Sc
curity of circulation by substituting
otheracceptable securities, on promise
to use the bonds for the increase of
circulation of bank notes, is meeting
with a hearty response from all the
large money centers. Chicago banks
offer to issue upwards of $4,000, 900
new notes under the proposed agree
ment with the Treasury, and other
large cities have made equally liberal
responses. The indications are that
the circulating medium will be in
creased within few months over a
hundred millions of dollars. But the
main thing wanted is to keep it in cir
culation when it is increased and not
suffer it to be hiyed by spectators.
The plain people may be trusted to
keep it moving, and wise financiers
looking to the stability of the finances
OF the country will endeavor to assist
them. Fictitious values having been
cut down by the hundreds of millions,
the money that maintained them
ought to be sufficient for the needs of
legitimate business now.

Humane Engine Co. Nc. of this
city went on its annual outing on
Wednesday. Newton was the des-
tination and target shoot and din
ner at the Hotel Newton were the
principal features of the affair. The
company, with Assistant Chief Engi-
neers George Cobbett and Thomas f.
Welsh and other invited guests,
marched from the fire house to the
depot to the music of the Madison
Fife and Drum Corps A special train
whisked the party up into the hills of
Sussex and delegation from Kit
ittiny Hose Co., of Newton, escorted
the visitors to the baseball field where
the target shooting occupied several
hours time. Edward J. Bradley won
the members prize, a double barrelled
breech loading gun, with a score Of
thirteen out of a possible fifteen. Ho-
ward Bird, the firemen of the special
train, captured the guests prize,
handsome umbrella. His score was
eleven. Ten men tied for the BOBBY
prize and after careful shoot-off a
black doll baby was given to Robert
Mack, as the winner. Dinner was
served shortly after two o'clock at
Hotel Newton and Mine Host John
w. Calvin gave the diners one OF the
biggest and best repasts they had ever
seen. Much had been heard about the
excellence of Newton hotel dinners
and Wednesdays certainly bore out
The reputation. The menu was as fol-

In the evening the company paraded |
about the streets, visiting the several |
fire houses of the town and were royal |
~ entertained at each. Cigars were !
plentiful and other refreshments were |
served without stint. When the march |
to the depot was taken up at eight |
thirty the Newton Engine Company
gave the visiting vamps great send
fire, roman candles and pretty
girls, all adding to the gaiety OF the
evening. At the depot the drum corps
played several selections and the mu-
sicians received a lot OF applause, and
their leader j. L. Paulmier, was con-
graduated by both Morristown and

Where ear corn is being fed the cobs
should be raked up frequently and

can be secured by barely covering the

seem to relish and which acts as a
general conditioner upon their system.

THE result of the election in Morris.
town was no great surprise to those in
close touch with the situation, except,
perhaps, in the case of Senator Hill
lery's vote. 1t was known that con-
siderable number of commuters in
tended to vote the Democratic ticket
to rebuke Roosevelt" and they car
ried out the intention Senator Hill
lery paid the penalty of leadership
The many new and radical laws passed
in the last two years could not be ex-
pected to work without friction, and
every one who felt their pinch or
feared for their personal interest in
any way blamed Mr.. Hillery for it,
and voted against him not only here
but throughout the county. Added
to this his opponent is personally a
popular gentleman, the head of large
benevolent organization and affiliated
with others, consequently received
many votes on that account. Mr..
Buxton also suffered from this, more,
perhaps. than he did from the anti
saloon league opposition, as it was
found that that cut both ways, and
he ran ahead of Senator Hillery upon
whom no local option fight was made,
while Mr.. Lyon who was also under
the ban Of the Burkes was less than a
hundred behind Fort. For the local
offices there was sharp personal con-
test, but the only loss was the nominee
for Alderman in the Third Ward,
which is accounted for by the labor
vote This leaves the Board of Alder
men five Republicans to three Demo-
Gratis with Republican Mayor. The
town representation in the Board of
Freeholders were all reelected three
Republicans to one Democrat.
