SEWER NOTES.

Both sewer gangs on Speedwell ave
nue. are hard at work cutting ditch
from the solid rock with the prospect
of considerable time being required
before the trenches meet. The gang
on Pine street is making reasonably
rapidly progress, ~the ditch being much
shallower than was the case on Morris
street, but the digging is poor and
through all kinds of material. An
other gang is prosecuting the work on
Elm street. The George street gang
is approaching Water sire t, the
ditch growing deeper at every foot
advanced. Work has been resumed
on Boykin street and ground broken
beyond Maple avenue. Operations are
also under way on the ejector cham
berS, that on Wetmore avenue still
requiring the services of a steam pump.
Work has also been started on Hill
and King streets.

Gxpsies, Horses in winter.

Among many of the gypsies there
prevails the cruel custom of leaving
their horses unsheltered at night in
cold weather. But this is not all, for
additional misel VI is inflicted on the
animals when they are hobbled," "
which means that a short rope is fast
ened to the two fore feet thus pre-
venting the horses, from moving more
than few inches with each step. In
this condition they cannot stray far
from the camp, neither can they, by
exercise, avoid some of the chill of a
cold night. Think of the old horse,
who on account of decrepitude, loses
a comfortable stable, and must stand
fettered and unprotected in the cold
storm, when his new owner happens
to be that brutal specimen of man
who considers the old horse to be Of
such small value that it is cheaper to
run the risk of losing the horse
through exposure than pay for shell
tering him. There are farmers, too,
who for the same reason neglect to
provide sufficient food for their stock
in winter time, and they suffer accord
ingly or die before the spring grass
comes. Numerous arrests have been
mede for such offenses in the past
The Morris County Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is
determined to continue to fight such
cruelties. The police and constables,
and in fact any individual may warn
owners of such neglected animals, and
when bad conditions are not lmme-
diately remedied, the case should be
reported to the Society of the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, 81 Morris

HINTS FOR FARMERS
To Cure Hams.

Years ago what were known as Ash
land hams were made at the old plan
tation of Henry Clay, which enjoyed u
high reputation for their superior quail
tiles and usually commanded the very
highest prices, says National Stock
man. This recipe for curing was used
by Mrs. Henry Clay for many years:
For every ten hams of moderate size
take three and a half pounds of salt,
one pound Of saltpeter and two pounds
of brown sugar. Mix thoroughly and
rub the hams Herewith on every side,
Then pack in tight box or barrel and
place in cool place for three weeks
Then put in picking tub or barrel
and cover with brine of sufficient
strength to float an egg. After re-
naming in this pickle about two weeks
take them out rub lightly with fine
salt and hang them up in well venti-
lated place to dry for two or three
days, after which transfer them to the
smokehouse, hang up about three or
four inches apart and smoke carefully
until they take on nice brown shade

Barn Itch.

A very common disease in winter is
one known by various names among
the cattle owners. BY some it is called
barn itch and by others winter itch.
Simplified, we call it ringworm. Its
cause is a tiny spore which abounds
in the air of the stable.
Melt a teacupful of hogs lard and
mix it with an equal amount of crude
carbolic acid. Rub the affected parts
well with this mixture. This is perhaps
the most simple of all remedies. An
other excellent remedy where the
above fails is: Remove all crusts by
washing with soap and water, then ap-
ply acetic acid, sulphur ointment, tine
ture of iodine or nitrate of mercury
ointment once day. Cleanse the sta
Bile and whitewash 1t to destroy the
spores scattered by the crusts,-Dr.
Roberts.

scours In Horses.

For scours in horses or colts mix
equal parts of tincture of opium, fluid
extract of ginger, tincture muriate of
iron and fluid extract of gentian. For
grown horses give two tablespoonfuls
in soft feed twice each day For year
ling colts give half this amount. AS
soon as the weddings begin to firm
lengthen the time between doses, and
when the excrement is firm enough to
adhere cease giving the medicine. There
is danger from checking scours too

Miners rear Impending Danger

Shaft No. of the Glendon mine at
Hibernia, owned by the Wharton Steel
Company, has been shut down and the
men laid off. The cause, it is said, was
the refusal of many men to enter Che
shaft on account of the mysterious
noises emanating from it, The only
shafts still in operation are the Glen
don No. at Lower Hibernia, and two
shafts of the Wharton mine at Upper
Hibernia. The whole number of men
laid off within the last ten days is
about 225, and 200 are still at work.

MOVE TO UNITE PRESBYTERIES.
Newark Pastors Want Young Blood
of Oranges in Organization.

VI OidHStS
Steps were taken at a meeting of
the Newark Presbytery in the First
Presbyterian Church, in Newark last
Mcn1ay, looking to change in the
Newark and Orange presbyteries.
The Rev. DIR. Robert Scott Inglis, pas
tor of the Third Church, in Newark
introduced a recommendation that
the Orange churches now in the
Morris and Orange Presbytery be
taken into the Newark body.
DR.. Inglis explained that it was a
means he had long considered of bring
ing aid to the Newark Presbytery,
which had begun to decline, because
the younger generation was moving
into the suburbs.
"The old people are dying aud 60
ing to Heaven" the clergyman de-
clare, land The young people are mar
rying and going to Orange"
The Rev. DR.. David R. Frazer, pas
tor of the First Church, declared he
did not want his colleagues to go away
with the idea that Orange and Heaven
were synonymous.
If the proposition is approved by
the individual mem bers of the Newark
body. DR.. Inglis proposes that the
Orange body be asked to call meet
ing and consider the project. Several
of the clergyman present approved his
plan.

Green Cut Bone.

The feeding of fowls would be ex-
pensive when compared with the pro-
duction If equalization of foods was
not given attention If an ounce of
bone and meat is given, it will equal
one and one-half ounces of grain; hence
in feeding the hens one ounce of green
cut bone daily the gill of grain must
be reduced to one-half, as the green
cut bone compensates for the grain
and is much cheaper Poultry

Raise monuments and praise the names

It's grandma's stove I'm seeking.

With blazing jewels spangled.

And show the art Of warming.

Behold one good old-fashioned draught
Devoid Of hesitation.
Through hickory barbados it leaps
Above the chimney whirling,
And even there its signal keeps,
An endless cloud unfurling.
Without gold filigreed prete Sc

An August-time caloric.

This valiant gladiator.

But as through lands afar rove
