HINTS FOR FARMERS
Dipplng sheep In the Fall.

A large number of owners believe III
dipping sheep twice during the year
and, as a rule, where this is the case
one of the operations is carried out in
the fall, says the Indiana Farmer
There are several reasons to be urged
In favor of fall dipping, whether the
tiocks have been dressed earlier in the
year or not. In the case of establish.
ed breeding tlocks the operation is de.
sirable in order that the animals may
be purged of all insects or germs of
disease, and thus have seasonable com
fort and immunity from attack insured
to them throughout the winter
If thoroughly cleaned before the
winter, flocks seldom develop any all
ment or suffer from any of their
troublesome insect enemies during the
cold months OF the year, and therefore
farmers have strong incentive to dip
at this juncture. 1t may be that the
animals are, to all appearance, COM
paratively free from insects or para
sites, yet there are generally present
some remnants of summer attacks,
and unless these are efectually check
ed and destroyed they may lead to con-
siderable annoyance to the tiocks and
expense to their owners at a time of
the year when, for various reasons,
they are less amenable to effectual
treatment

THE proverbialist many years ago
wrote Surely in vain the net is
spread in sight of any bird" In view
of this fact, the following from the
Jersey City Journal is of interest:
A Democratic leader who has been
active in engineering tile policies of
the Hahne Committee, said this after
noon:
The Senate Committee will have the
right OF way in Jersey City. If it fails
to come here and take hold of the Fa.
gan administration, the Democrats
will then do it.
Our first move will be to go to Es-
sex, where the Republicans have had
the Board of FreeholderS for years and
where graft and extravaganza have
been rampant. We are going to ex-
pose that Republican ring across the
Passaic and lay our facts before one OF
Sheriff Sommer's Grand Juries.
There is no question that Sommel
will see to it that the grafters are in
dicted and brought to trial. He will
have to do so, because the evidence we
will produce will be overwhelming
After Sommer does that the Repub
lican organization cannot stop hin
from getting the nomination for Gov
ernor. That is exactly what we want
We can. defeat Sommer in November
and elect Democrat.

Value of skim Milk.

There is hardly dairy farm now
no matter how small, that is without q
hand cream separator This machine
has saved millions of dollars over the
old method of pan Swimming, which
left q great deal of cream in the skim
milk. The record for cream separa
tor for number of consecutive runs
is less than one one-hundredth of
per cent of cream left in the skim
milk
The modern cream separator is built
on the principle of centrifugal motion
the milk being placed in a bowl which
revolyes several thousand times a min
ute, so that the skim milk, being heav-
Ter than the cream, flies to the outside,
leaving the cream in the center.
The modern dairyman feeds his
fresh, warm skim milk to his calves
and pigs, which thrive on this kind of
food as well as on the whole milk.
Letting the young calves run around
with the cows and get all the milk is
a thing of the past among progressive
dairymen. Skim milk, if it is utilized
to the best advantage and turned into
calves and hogs, Is one of the most
profitable products Of the dairy farm.
Skim milk is also fed to chickens to
good advantage. David Brown in Spo-
kane observation-disclosures.

SENATOR BRIaGs, who has been i'll
for several weeks, was about the State
House on Tuesday. He saw a number
OF the State officials, most of whom
were about the Capitol. He also
called on Governor Stokes. The de-
mand that MIR. Briggs should take
the leadership is so insistent that it is
believed he will make necessary sacri-
fees and take the reins of the party
control in hand. Along with several
others of the leaders, Mr.. Briggs re-
mains of the opinion that Chandler
w. Riker, of Essex, is the man to
nominate for Governor, and can best
placate the factional differences that
seem to exist in Essex and some of
the North Jersey counties. The re-
port in Trenton was to the effect that
the Frank N. Sommer rally in East
Orange Monday night was In the ma.
ture of frost, and that there was a
comparatively small audience and not
very much enthusiasm. 1t was also
reported that the reform leaders in
Essex we're about equally divided be.
tween Mr., Riker and Mr.. Sommer.

LEGISLATURE IS CONVENED.
Governors Message Calls For Reap
portionment and Direct Nominations.

Governors Message Calls For Keep
portionment and Direct Nominations.
Albany, N. Y, July 9.-When the as
sembly met message was read from
Governor Hughes calling upon, them
to pass reapportlonment bill and the
optional direct nominations act.
Only 80 of the $50 assemblymen and
35 of the 81 senators were on hand.
The assembly voted for the appoint
ment Of a conference committee of five,
which the speaker expects to name to-
day. The senate unanimously passed
resolution calling upon the judiciary
committee of the two houses to pass
upon the question of reapportionment.
Both bodies then adjourned until to-
morrow.
Speaker Wadsworth renewed his, Of
fer to Senator Raines to permit him
to merge Livingston county, the speak
er's home, with Ontario and Wayne
as a senatorial district. Raines is con-
sidering it. Should he finally accept
this will be made basis for a compro-
mise measure which may result In
final settlement.
1t was pretty well established before
the legislators assembled that the gov
ernor would not allude to the Kelsey
case. While refusing to discuss the
matter for publication, he has express
ed doubt that second effort to com
pei the compulsory retirement of the
superintendent would be any more sue
cessful than the first.
To friends he has confided the belief
that a second failure to purge the in
surance department would precipitatt
an open conflict between himself and
the leaders Of both parties, who in re
Spouse to the demands of the newspa
pers and the public In general cooper
ated with him in effecting the passage
of the other reform measures recon-
mended by him.

AN important case was decided on
Tuesday when the New Jersey SUI
preme Court was reversed by the Court
of Errors and Appeals in the suit
brought by Mayor Pagan, of Jersey
City. VS.. Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany. Mayor Pagan and Corporation
Counsel Record contended that the
trackage of various small connecting
roads and spurs, although operating
under separate charters, were not main
stems, but a part of the larger roads,
and should be taxed at local rates for
the municipality instead of by the
State. The Court of Errors holds that
any right of way used for the trans
.portation- of either freight or passen-
gers falls within the classification
technically known in New Jersey as
first-class or main stem property, and
is, therefore, taxable by the State. In
so holding it sustains the State Board
of Assessors. BY the decision both the
State and the railroads win a victory.
The State will receive the revenues in
stead of the municipality, and the rail-
roads will be required to pay less tax
than otherwise. A contrary decision
would have largely increased the reve-
nues of Jersey City

JAMES M. BECK, formerly Assistant
United States Attorney General, said
in an address the other night to
the New York Law School: "Our
Government, State and Federal, is
drifting with great rapldity into a
highly organized bureaucratic govern
ment whose methods are oppressive.
The regulations of a lifetime are
swept away without court or jury,
and sometimes without rhyme or rea-
son. Never before in our public life
was there so little real manhood.
Legislatures exist only as a matter of
course. They register almost without
question the demands-of i'll con-
sidered-of an imaginary public opin-
ion. Only the great guarantees of the
Constitution remain standing, like so
many barriers against the inundatine
food. f"

DOGS ALMOST KILL. A FARMER
Four 6rutes Belonging to New Yorker
Attack Daniel Conklin.

Spring Valley, N, Y, July 9.-Four
savage bulldogs almost killed Daniel
Conklin. farmer of this place. In a
united and persistent attack the brutes
tore the flesh from Conklin's right arm,
with which he protected his throat,
severely lacerated his legs and body,
ripped his clothes from him and left
him unconscious.
Attacking him from all sides at once
they dragged him to the ground. In
his struggles Conklin rolled down the
railroad bank into narrow creek.
The bulldogs did not desist. They ran
down the bank, jumping in the water
and bit mis- arms, body and legs wher-
ever they could get hold.
Conklin's cries brought.to him man
from Towers kennels, who beat of
the bulldogs. Conklin, senseless hnen,
was taken in an ambulance to- the
Good Samaritan hospital at Suffern.
The animals are owned by Eugene H.
Tower, New York stationer.

;. POLITICIANS are not as yet Sayine
very much concerning a matter which
is quietly discussed in many quarters
1t is now but a speck in the political
armament, it is urged yet it is insist.
ed that there is every promise with ar
aroused public sentiment there would
be marked change in the situation,
This speck in the political sky, in the
opinion of those who talk about it, is
that there is too much legislation at
Washington and too much legislation
by every State Legislature in the
Union, says the New York "Sun."
1t is pointed out that there is a
mania for legislation all over the coun-
try. In sixteen states last winter 49,
700 bills we're, introduced, 5,631 OF
which became new laws. These States
were Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Indi-
ANA, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne
braska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island. South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Texas, Utah and Washington.
Such condition of affairs, in the
opinion Of the critics, is abhorrent.
Some of the alleged far sighted observ-
ers say that within ten years nearly all
the States will have biennial sessions
of the Legislatures lasting not more
than, sixty to ninety days.

THE Excise Board in Jersey City has
struck death blow to the inn and
tavern license. and those cities which
desire an enlightened excise policy
will not be slow in following its eX-
ample. The Jersey City board has
decided not to grant any more inn and
tavern licenses. 1t will now be VIC
lation of the law in places operated as
hotels, or alleged to be hotels, to serve
drinks in any place except the bar
room. The inn and tavern license up
to the present time in Jersey City has
carried with it the privilege of serving
drinks in any place in the building.
Now, however, the saloons in these
places will be required to take out res.
taurant licenses, which give them nc
privileges over the ordinary saloons.

Notes About si!aae.

All the great dairy states have nu-
merous silos.
Silage is more economically harvest
ed, stored and fed than any other
roughage.
In 1888 the department of agriculture
could find only nine farmers in the
country who used silos.
Silaged fed cows winter better, give
more milk and do better when put on
pasture than others.
If the silage molds and decays on
the top, do not begin to worry. This
seals up the rest and keeps all that is
under it in prime condition.
Pack the silage well at the sides.
The middle will settle of its own
weight, but the contact with the sides
of the silo keeps it from settling around
the outer edge.

Nail Wounds In Horses Feet.

A rusty nail in the foot of horse is
a mighty bad thing. Before the spring
cleanup there are always many pieces
of boards lying around with nails
sticking up. A punctYre from one of
these rusty nails makes bad bruise
and needs prompt attention.
The thing to do in cases of this kind
is to clean the hole thoroughly and
swab it out with a % per cent solution
of carbolic acid. Then use cotton sat
urated with spirits Of turpentine to fill
up the hole. Give the matter prompt
attention, and don't wait two or three
days until inflammation sets in and
pus accumulates.
