HINTS FOR FARMERS
When TO Breed Ewes.

Ewes should never be bred under one
year of age, and in buying a flock to
begin with this is as good an age as
any to get them. One may have trou-
bic, however, in getting ewes of this
age, as most men like to keep their
young ewes and sell off their old ones.
AS with other classes of live stock,
older sires and dams usually give
stronger and more vigorous offspring
than do those bred for the first time.
but the difference is not great. In fact,
females thoroughly matured bred to
good sires, give just as good results as
their older mates. And this is as true
with sheep as with other animals.
Ewes from yearlings up to four years
give the best results. When they get
much over that it is a good plan to
sell them and let the other fellow take
the risk of having old, toothless ewes
on his hands.-Farm Progress.

Feed For Younq Pics.

The younger an animal the more
mineral matter it requires in its food,
says Farm Progress. When very
young pigs are growing they are pro-
ducing bone very rapidly in proportion
to size and consequently require more
phosphates. in their food, especially
of lime in soluble condition. Milk
contains all the necessary substances
for pigs, but after awhile they be-
come of such size as to be unable to
consume enough milk to supply them,
as they must drink about eight times
as much water in the milk as there are
solids. To supply this deficiency corn
meal is added, but cornmeal is de-
ficient in mineral matter. Bran, ground
oats, shipstuff and finely ground clover
hay (scalded) in addition to the milk
and cornmeal will prove advantageous.

HOW 1T LOOKS TO AN OUTSIDER

The Sunday Call, which has taken
considerable interest in Morristown s
sanitary matters in the past, says
apropos of our suits =
1.-THE Supreme Court and the Court
of Chancery should exercise much care
in their interference with local sewer
age plants, especially in the Complaints
against disposal beds. We suspect
they are both too much inclined to
magnify their powers. While we rec
ognize that any judge is supposed to
know more about any given subject
than any layman, it seems to US that,
with the congestion of business in the
courts, some things might be left to
executive decision and the right of
local self-government. Among these
modest reservations is the engineering
problem as to the location of sewage
disposal plant AS problem of gov
eminent, two considerations may be
said to rule--the convenience and
adaptability OF the site, and the health
conditions. If adjacent property is
injured financially, the owner can sue
for damages when it has been shown
that ne has suffered harm but to give
him the right to prevent reasonable
public improvements by appeals to the
courts before there is any action taken,
is dangerous policy. An owner who
can not exercise influence in his own
vicinity to obtain fair play from his
neighbors, should be content with
demanding financial recompense for
actual loss incurred. There is no dan
ger that he will get too much, for the
injury is usually imaginary, We are
led to these remarks by the fooiing of
the courts with the Morristown sewer
age problem.

Whey For Pics.

Results of experiments at Danish ex-
pertinent stations show that twelve
pounds of whey from separator skim
milk cheese are equal to one pound OF
grain for pig feeding or one pound of
skimmilk equals two pounds of whey
in feeding value. Experiments at the
Wisconsin station show higher feed
ing value for whey, as it contains
more fat and casein than that used
abroad. A suitable feed may be made
by mixing together equal parts OF
shorts, ground oats, bran and cornmeal
made into a moist state just thick
enough to pour well. Whey is then
fed in the same way as skimmilk OF
may be freely mixed with other feed

Reseedinq Meadows.

Permanent meadows and pastures
often are benefited by reseeding. Many
vacant spots produce weeds because
there is no grass plant to occupy the
place. If there are any tiny bare spots,
it pays to SOW a mixture of clover,
timothy, redtop, ETC., on the land in
the early spring. A sharp spike tooth
harrow run over the ground before
and after the seeding does lot of
good. A light dressing of manure-a
few loads per acre put on with a
spreader- gives greater returns than
when plowed down for corn, as is the
usual practice. A heavy sod is sure
foundation of profit in farming, and we
pay too little attention to securing it.

In its zeal for a direct primary law
Illinois has, after wosfailures, at last
achieved its purpose, but the law is so
comprehensive that already complaints
are heard that it will do too much and
leave matters in some respects in a
worse condition than before. The
situation in Illinois is of 81 ecial inter-
est to New Jersey at the present time,
when our lawmakers at Trenton are
confronted with an Identical problem
to solve.
The Illinois law, much like that of
Oregon, provides for the nomination
by direct popular vote of all candidates
for State, Congressional, county, NUM-
Lcipal and judicial offices, including
municipal court officers and state and
county committeeman. 1t abolishes
the delegate system, except as to dele
gates to National Conventions and
nominees for presidential electors, who
are to be chosen by state conventions.
Delegates to the state conventions are
to be elected by direct vote. The law
provides for an advisory vote on the
nominee for United States Senator.
Another defect in the Illinois act,
and one which the New jersey Legis-
lature should avoid, is that the ma
chinery of the law is so cumbersome
that it seems impossible for any except
the two larger political parties to meet
its requirements In this state such
condition would probably render any
act that might be passed unconstitu-
tional. The first primaries under the
Illinois law will not be held until Au
gust s, 1908.

DAVIS Ration For Sheen.

A days ration for sheep is esti-
mated at two pounds of hay, half a
pound of bran and half pound of
ground oats when there is no pasture,
but as large sheep consume more than
smaller ones the estimated ration may
not be strictly correct. Sheep should
also be supplied with succulent food,
sliced carrots being highly relished.
They should not be overfed, but should
be kept in moderate condition. In sum-
mer good pasture is sufficient.
