Molasses for Horses.
How a Brooklyn Firm Saved Two
Steeds Regarded as Worthless by
Feeding Them Molasses.

The New York Press is responsible
for the following: Feed your horse
on black New Orleans molasses.
This i'm no Joke. No animal has a
sweeter tooth than the horse And
this characteristic of equines has not
been sufficiently encouraged. There
is nothing new in the proposition,
but the common run of people never
heard OF it and will scarcely believe
it. Look at those magnificent Per-
cherons drawing great loads on our
streets. See those giant Nomandies,
waighing 1000 pounds each. Feast
your eye on those sturdy Clydesdales,
those dapple grays able to pull a
few tons without fiinching. All fed
on molasses.
4 firm in Brooklyn, worth perhaps
100000, has been experiment.
ing with molasses as a food for
horses, and tries to keep the results
secret Two of the horses in the sta
BILE were given up as worthless.
They got SO thin and weak that they
could not do a days work and were
about to be retired on pensions at
eleven years when the molasses man
came along. The horses were off
their feed, probably sick at their
stomach. They refused to eat oats,
hay, corn, clover, and shorts. He
looked them over and said he should
like to try new regimen. go
ahead said the superintendent of
the stables, in which there were over
200 magnificent animals, worth
from 500 to $1,000 each In two
months one OF he horses. a physical
wreck, gained 800 pounds. and the
other, IA physical wreck, 256. Their
coats were as satin. They were re-
stored to duty and are still holding
their Own-on molasses
In administering molasses-the
blacklist you can buy-frst chop your
hay into bits and to each peck add
one pint of molasses. Mix thorough
ly. The horses will do the rest. Use
about the same quantity OF syrup
with oats, shorts, corn, etc. If you
find that one horse may have
sweeter tooth than another, regulate
the treacle accordingly. SO regulate
it, in fact. that nothing will be left in
the trough. You cap buy New Or

13h cents gallon; by the hogshead
or barrel for little less. Try it on
your poor, old broken down nag.
He will live to bless you and instead
OF retiring at eleven years will he
pulling you around the country at
twenty seven.

Peanut Hay.

Post-Item, Huntsville, Tex.
Some of our farmers have learned
the value of peanut hay as a feed
crop. In Walker county this plant
is a success and will give better re-
returns per acre, time spent in grow
ing and housing considered, than
most any other crop. AS q food crop
for horses and cattle it is a success in
every particular, and when cured
with the nuts on the vine is not sur
passed by alfalfa. The poorest land
will produce peanuts, while corn
would hardly tassel. Just why it is
not a more universal crop is nat
known, unless, perchance. it be that
its true value has never been realized.
Several OF our farmers have learned
the Importance of the crop, and this
year some fine reports have been
made to this office.
Mr.. Chauten, living west of town,
had in a small acreage, and he says
that he housed eight immense loads
OF fine feed and that his horses will
stay fat until this feed in gone.
A farmer living near Hearne makes
good money raising and baling pea
nuts, and instead of his land getting
poorer is growing richer with every
crop.
Every farmer should plant peanuts
and save them for hay. 1t will be
found profitable in every sense of
the word. Ask the men who have
tried the plan.

The Light Breaks.
Raleigh Evening Times.

Raleigh Evening Times.
Sundays Washington Times con-
tanned one of the most thoughtful
editorials we have seen in many a
day. 1t simply shows that light is
breaking not only in the east, but in
the north and in the northwest.
Without any comment other than
to commend the sentiment OF our
contemporary, we produce the edito-
rial, which is he Ided 1.-THE Light
Breaks"
The following has no relation to
the race riots in Atlanta. 1t is not
from any Of the speeches OF Governor
Vardaman, of Mississippi. 1t was
written az far north OF Mason and
Dixon's line almost as it is possible
to get and stay in the United States;
eve cannot have discomfort
among our people, continuous up
roar, riots, and race wars; so we
shut the door to keep the peace. 1t
is useless to argue with this trait OF
human nature. Race prejudice is al
ways a considerable force; but when
it is accentuation and emphasized
by color there is no composition
with it.
at is probable that race prejudice,
and probably color prejudice, was
implanted for wise purpose, though
at times it assumes features base
and repulsive. But man, whether
white or black, or brown, or yellow,
is man, and all are entitled to justice
and peace and protection. But to
gain these ends it is necessary to
keep the working classes of these op-
posite races from active competition
with each other
This paragraph is part ofan edito-
rial in the Greg oman, OF Portland,
Or. It's immediate subject was the re-
cent race disturbance at Vancouver
But if the principal in advances
finds general favor in the North,
it may be the South will obtain per-
mission from the rest OF the country
to solve it's "discontent among our
people" according to its best judg-
ment, are without the help OF high
and mighty moralizing from people
so far away from the trouble they
wouldn't recognize it if it slapped
them in the face.

Take the Local Paper for de CHI
dren.

As to the value of the local paper
in the home and the incentive it
gives the children to- cultivate the
habit OF reading, an exchange says
this:
The local paper should be found in
every home. No children should
grow up ignorant who can be taught
to appreciate the home paper. It Is
said to be the stepping stone OF intel
ligence in all these ma tiers not to be
found in books. Give your children
a foreign paper which contains not a
word about any person. place or
thing which they ever saw or perhaps
ever heard Of, and how could you ex-
pect them to be interested. But let
them have the home paper and read
of people whom they meet and OF
places of which they are familiar and
soon an interest is awakened which is
increased with every arrival OF the
local paper. Thus q habit of reading
is formed and those children will read
the papers all their lives and become
intelligent men and women, a credit
to their ancestors, strong in knowi-
edge of the world as it is today.

Regarding Cigarettes.
Greensboro Church Record.

at Moore county court Judge
Webb handled the cigarette question
with gloves of. He charged the
grand jury with the enforcement Of
the law which prohibits the sale of
to minors under II years
of age and stated in connection that
cigarettes were doing more to ruin
the youth of the State than whiskey
or any other evil. While some may
differ from Judge Moore in the ex-
IRENE harmfnl results OF cigarette
smoking yet there are two facts that
all will admit; one is that cigarettes
are harmful and the other is that
the law restricting their sale is be-
ing greatly violated.

The Editor.

A writer in all exchange pays the
following tribute to editors:
An editor is a millionaire without
money, Congressman out of Job.
king without a throne He con-.
structs without Il hammer or q saw,
builds n railroad without rails or
spikes, and farms without pillow.
He runs butcher shop in the jour-
nalistic world and deals out brains
for cash or credit. He loves those
who advertise with him like q brother.
The editor is a teacher, a lawyer, q
preacher; he sends forth truth to
save souls and gets lost himself. He
heals the wounded, cares for the dy-
ing, rescues the perishing, and then
starves himself when q ham sand
wich of kindness would jerk him from
the Jaws of death.

Work Is a great blessing, says an
exchange. You cannot see now, but
some day you will say that you were
nrtunate in your boyhood days be-
cause you were compelled to work.
Because you can not getpower to do

Railroads and Newspapers.
Statesville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
Let us all he honest about this
matter and if any one can explain
wherein there is any difference in
railway having a paper Of its own
and the ''peepul'' having a leather
lunged organ, let us know. The
great manufacturing concerns all
have newspapers-hOuse organs,
they are called. The churches, diff
ierent denominations, have papers;
the parties have papers; the lodges
and secret societies have papers
and why in the name of Sam Hill
can't the railroad have a paper, if it
wants it? In fact the Southern OWNS
one newspaper, or periodical, the In
dustrial something Or other, edited
by Colonel Richards, and we don't
see why it couldn't have IL paper or
two in North Carolina. Wen sell
'em this star spangled banner, if they
have the price, and We'll agree to run
it for 'em and churn the living mush
out of the Populist that tries to tear
down our nner-FairbrOther's
Everything.
It's all right for the Southern or
anybody or anything to have a
paper if they, he, she or it want one
and put up the cash. But the public
ought to be put on notice as to what
the paper represents. There should
be no sailing under false colors; no
protesting to stand for the 'peepul''
when in reality it is standing for a
special interest.

Day was turned into night at 11:30
O'Clock this morning when inky
clouds came out of the southwest and
hid the sun so completely that lights
had to be lit in the houses and prac-
tically all business was brought to a
standstill The extreme darkness con-
tinued for fully ten minutes during
which time midday could not have
been distinguished from midnight.
To add to the weirdness of it all
the fire bell began tolling, caused by
the electricity in the air.
AS the blackness continued few
peals of thunder were heard and then
some vivid flashes of lightning told
the shower was about to break.
The Public Service cut off it's cleo
trical current and inquiries at the Of
flee elected the information that the
shower, which had already reached
Metuchen where the power house is
located, had put the wires out of
commission.
A few moments it began to grow
lighter. AS it did no the heavens ap-
peared to open and torrents of rain
fell, lightning darted all about and
thunder crashed. Hail accompanied
the storm and within a few minutes
the streets were running like rivers
and many cellars were flooded.

Another attempt to rob a shoe
store was made last night shortly af-

get into the store of |. G. Moore at S5
Smith street.
Mrs. Julianna Hoeberg, who lives
over the store, was awakened by the
mewing of her cat and the barking of
her two dogs. She heard a loud noise
below as if a door was being pounded
with crow bar She opened the
window and asked who was there.
The noise ceased for while. Soon
the pounding started on the other
side of the building and Mrs. Hoeberg
again asked who was there. This
time she heard sounds of some one
running away through the back yard.
This morning Patrolman Kazusko
visited the place about 5 O'Clock.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-07-20

When he saw what was the matter he
went to Mr.. Moore's home on Madison
avenue and aroused him.
On arriving at the store Mr.. Moore
found that a heavy door on the west
side of the store had been forced open
with crow bar Two of the heavy
iron bars across the back window had
been sprung apart. Mrs. Hoeberg's
calling out evidently frightened the
thieves away just as they were ready
to enter the store. Nothing was
stolen.
Chief Burke said this morning that
the thieves who made the attempt to
rob Mr.. Woere's store last night were
undoubtedly the same who entered
M. Shangold's store Thursday night.
