THERE are but few men who are
enthusiastic over the primary election
law at its best, but when the guberna-
torial year comes round and the party
committeeman are compelled to hus-
tile for candidates in the dog days three
months before election it is positive
! detriment to good government. The
average man is disinclined to do any,
thing he can get out of during hot
weather any the suggestionlof running
for office does not appeal to him. The
law should be amended in this respect
or repealed entirely. Preferably the
latter.

speItz or Emmer as Foraae.

The South Dakota experiment sta
ton has issued bulletin on the feed
ing value Of emmer, which that sta
ton continues to call speltz, giving the
cost Of production of beef and pork
when the ration consisted largely of
this grain. A mixture Of emmer and
corn gave better results than emmer
alone. When fed alone at requires
from one to two pounds more to pro-
duce pound of flesh than with the
other grains" Emmer is an excellent
material to mix with corn because Of
the improvement of the physical condi-
ton Of the food, particularly corn,
which makes the mixture just about
the right consistency for good diges-
ton

THE party committeeman and 9TH
ers interested in good government are
working themselves unto the verge of
nervous prostration trying to find suit
able candidates for the various offices
to be filed. The very general relucU-
ance of men who would be considered
ideal candidates to accept nominations
is very discouraging, particularly so
when it is taken into consideration
that many of these men are ready to
criticise the existing condition Of af-
fairs and suggest all sorts Of improve
ments. However, good men have been
persuaded to take up the burdens and
do the best they can to please the
critics.

STATE SENATOR JOHN HnCHLIFFE
has stated positively that he would not
be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor this fall. He
has just recovered from serious at
tack of typhoid fever, and says that all
his spare time in the near future will
be devoted to recovering health. 1t is
understood, however, that the Passaic
county delegates to the Democratic
State Convention will name Hinchliffe
as their first choice.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
floor FER the Hog House.


A successful swine breeder gives the
following account of the floor he put
into his hog house:
The floor is made OF hard brick laid
fat in sand, the sand resting on gravel
1t is not safe to use dirt for bottom,
as it settles and causes the floor to
sink irregularIy. Fill In, say, six
inches with cinders and gravel, then
a layer of sand and then the brick.
When laying the brick don't put them
too close together.
After you have them laid put plenty
of water on them, so as to soak them,
and then mix sand and cement In the
proportion of three parts of sand to
one Of cement and use enough water
so that 1t will pour freely. Pour this
over the floor and sweep it in with
broom until the cracks are full. The
hogs will not slip on this floor, and
1t is cheaper than plank 1oor.-Farm

siIaqe Good For Horses.


Horses like silage as well as cattle
do after they get accstomed to it. A
man In Michigan few years ago win
exclusively, with no grain. They
came through in fine shape, and the
brood mares all had fine, strong colts.
The Ohio experiment station tried
feeding horses on silage through the
winter and reported that they came
through until spring in the best con-
dition w. G. Bradley of Wisconsin
says that one year during spring work
he was out of hay, and the only coarse
fodder his horses had during all that
period Of hard work was silage. He
says that his horses never stood work
better.-Spirit of the West.

seours In Calves.

Professor Shaw of the Michigan
Agricultural college says concerning
the treatment Of scours in calves:
One Of the best things we have
used and are using almost altogether
with which to suppress outbreaks of
calf scours is mixture of tincture
Of rhubarb, camphor and opiate, equal
parts in hot water, about teaspoon
full. One of the most interesting re-
coveries have ever seen was In the
case Of calf that secured and was
so near death that the feet were
stretched out cold and stiff, and there
was every symptom Of death. The
calf was treated in that way twice,
then was fed with raw eggs and milk
occasionally, and he recovered. He
was the sickest calf 1 ever saw, so
sick his hair all came off after week
or ten days. but he is one of the best
feeders we have in the bunch today.

EVIDENTLY the Republicans of Nor
ris county are taking very little inter-
est in the efforts of the Burke broth
ers, backed by the Anti-saloon League
office in Newark to defeat Buxton. !"
The meeting in the Lyceum on Satur-
day evening was attended by less than
sixty, including women, children and
ProhibitionistS. The meeting at Mad
ison had about twenty-five, and the
meeting at Boonton thirty by actual
count. So far as the great mass of Re-
publicans are concerned they care very
little about the controversy, and are
satisfied with Mr. Buxton's statement
that he will support a local option bill
that meets the approval of the expe-
rienced legislators. The crux of the
matter is just here. The Anti-saloon
League, formed for very commenda-
BILE purpose, is managed by number
of prominent clergymen of the State,
who, unfortunately, discounting their
lanuence as moulders of advanced pub
lie sentiment, dispensed with the SER
vices OF the very gentlemanly clergy
man who represented them, and hired
a lawyer from another State, who came
here and with all the vigor of profess
ional lobbyist, but without his tact,
tried to force his bill through the Leg
stature, with the result that he soon
antagonized the law makers and was
turned down. Since that time he has
gone about the State denouncing
members of the Legislature. So far
as Morris connty is concerned Mr..
Burke's efforts are farce and the
sooner the managers of the League
recognize the fact the better for their
reputation for good practical sense.

If there is anything proven by the
history of the past sixty years it is that
New Jersey does not favor the local
option system by counties or by town
ships. A large percentage OF the pop
ulatiOn added has been by immlgra-
tion from foreign countries in which
the sale of liquor is unrestricted and
the sentiment therefore cannot have
been changed. "-Trenton Times.
The Times speaks for the sentiment
of the majority Of the people Of the
State, and it says truly. The voters in
the large centers Of population make
that majority. Here and there are
small residential communities in which
local option is desired, but in the ag-
gregate of the vote of the State they
do not vote to any great extent. The
local optionists who have hired West
ern man to go around the State and
agitate the question, and threatened
members of the Legislature, do not
therefore have any comprehension Of
the real conditions. They are wasting
time and money. The local option
idea cannot be forced upon the great
majority and it cannot be forced into
a platform of either political party in
New Jersey.
Assemblyman Perkins and several
other Republican legislators who dis
favored local option bill at the ses-
sion this year have been singled out
for attack by the local optionist' or
ganization, whose agent has been cir
culating among their constituents in
opposition to their denomination. I'M
Perkins case, if he fails of renomina-
tion it will be due to entirely different
causes, and neither in his case nor in
any other would local option opposi-
ton have any appreciable effect. Nor
would there be the ghost OF a chance
in the Legislature at this time of local
option on the Sunday saloon question.
The Senate could not be induced toll
pass such a bill if one was sent up by
the House ofAssembly. Evening Star.

Charcoal Good For Farm Stock.

Charcoal is often recommended for
pigs and fowls, but 1t is not generally
understood that it is good feed for
any kind Of stock fed with corn or
other heating material. There Is an
effect from charcoal which helps to
correct acidity Of the stomach, and it
rapidly absorbs bases. 1t is excellent
for mixing with the food of animals
that are being fattened, experiments
showing that the increase is greater
when proportion of charcoal is al
lowed.

The Po,,ltrv Yard.

When corn on the ear is thrown to
yarded fowls the cobs should not be
allowed to accumulate for any length
of time. They, with the other litter,
should be raked up and burned. This
will prevent to great extent the de-
velopment of scaly leg. Keeping the
chicken yards in good condition takes
little time and not only makes them
slightly, but adds to the health and
well being of the fowls.
