HINTS FOR FARMERS



The COW giving eight quarts Of milk
per day should have for each thousand
pounds of live weight twenty seven
pounds of dry matter in which are
contained two pounds Of protein, eIev-
en- pounds Of carbohydrates and A
pound of fat. Four pounds of corn
grain, the average feed, and enough
pasture grass to make up the neces-
sary amount of dry matter will fall
far short of this standard as nearly as
can be told. IT should be remembered
that pasture grass varies with the To-
cation, the kind of soil, the condition
of the weather and the season. How
ever, it is safe to conclude that q ra-
ton of four pounds of corn and enough
pasture grass to supply the necessary
amount of dry matter would contain
IT pound of protein, 1876 pounds of
carbohydrates and 38 pound of fat.
1t can be seen that such a ration will
be deficient in protein, but it contains
an excessive amount of carbohydrates.
Five pounds of corn on the cob. five
pounds of dry bran and enough pasture
grass to bring up the amount of dry
matter to the required standard con-
tain about 1893 pounds Of protein, near
ly twelve pounds of carbohydrates and
IS pound Of fat, which is not far from.
the standard suggested above.-Chica-

CIVIC ASSOCIATION ON ROADS
Petitions the Board of Aldermen in
Regard TO Street work.

Petitions the Board of Aldermen in
Regard to street Work.
Following is a copy of petition pre-
sented to Board of Aldermen June s.,
1908, by the Civic Association:
10 THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF AL
DERMEN OF THE TOWN OF NORRIS
TOWN:
Gentlemen -
The Executive Committee of the
Civic Association respectfully brings
to the attention of this Honorable
Body the report of the "sStreets Com
mittee" of that Association, copy Of
which is hereto annexed, requesting
your consideration of the matters
therein set forth at such time as you
shall deem wise.
Your petitioners would further
ask your immediate attention to the
following matters:
q) The appointment of a Town en-
gineer to take charge of the construc-
tion and maintenance of the Town
streets, and also of street cleaning !;
and ultimately to be charged with the
responsibility of the design, conSUruc-
sion and maintenance of all public
works.
~ The adoption of a code of rules
and regulations applicable to the open
ing Of the roadwayS of the Town, and
the restoration of pavementS in which
CT is are made for public and private
purposes, and providing a guaranty or
deposit that shall in all cases be re-
quired to insure the proper relaying Of
the pavement.
(3) We most urgently bring to your
attention the necessity for a more
thorough class of work than hereto
fore in evidence by contractors en-
gagged in laying pipes and conduits and
backfilling trenches and replacing
pavements. The continuance of the
present methods for completing the
sewer mains and the sewer lateralS,
soon to be laid, will in our opinion
necesSitate general repaving of all
improved streets at an enormous cost,
while careful work according to the
letter and spirit of the specifications
will avoid this great charge upon our
Town, and will in addition gives us
reasonably safe and smooth roadwayS
for use at present,
(4 That such ordinance as you
shall adopt in relation to the laying of
sewer laterals, or house connections,
shall be framed with great care, max,
ing provision for the refilling of
trenches in the town streets in such
manner as to insure the return of all
the materials excavated from said
trenches; and further providing for
the restoration of the pavement To its
original condition. We also pray that
sueh ordinance may require a cash de-
posit from the party owning the prem
iSes or from the contractor doing the
work in such amount as will insure
ultimate restoration Of the pavement
to Il satisfactory condition.
Respectfully submitted,
THos. W. CALDWELL,
Chairman of Executive Committee.

THE decision of.thc Supreme Court in

THE decision of. the Supreme Court in
relation to the Morristown sewer mat
Ter is published in full in this issue. 1t
is of considerable length ana compre-
hensiye in its rulings. Competent
lawers say that it is sweeping in its
scope, covers all the points at issue and
leaves little room for appeal to the
higher court. 1t was hoped general
ly that all parties would abide by
the decision rendered so that the sew
er work could be proceeded with and
completed at an early day, but it is
said the cases will be appealed to the
court Of errors and appeals, which
meets in November when argument
win probably be made.

Lice on Cattle.

Tobacco tea has been found to be an
excellent remedy for lice on dairy cat
tie. Its preparation and application
may be made as follows:
Take a pound plug of any brand of
tobacco and boil it for two or three
hours in two gallons of water. Then
set it off the stove till it cools. Pour
off this liquid and add two gallons of
fresh water. Apply this liquid to the
COW affected with lice with a heavy
fiber horse brush. This rubs the medi-
cine well under the hair Those who
have tried this preparation say that one
or two applications are enough to de-
stroy the worst case of lice in existence.
The remedy is certainly simple one
and should be tested by those who have
lice on their cattle. Young stock espe-
cially may receive the treatment with
beneficial results.

THE delegation to the National Con-
vention from louisiana has been split
between Taft and allies. Each side
gets nine votes. This decision was the
result of an agreement between the
silly whites (Taft men) and the
''black and tans. 1t means a great
victory for the Taft men inasmuch as
it keeps the silly whites" in control
of the State and means that National
Committeeman Pearl Wight, Taft
man, will be the sole dispenser of fed
eral patronage in that State. Secre-
tary Taft sent the following message
IF a delegate has been elected he
should be seated. If he has not been
elected he should not be seated by a
compromise"

Hoo Notes.

To the hog man a dipping tank well
used is about the most valuable thing
on the farm.
1t is good idea to clip off the tusks
of the newly narrowed pigs that they
may not irritate the SOW or injure
themselves.
The farmer with big bunch of mar
ketable hogs has that comfortable feel
ing which comes of having money in
the bank. Our advice is get the habit.
Forceps are rarely needed when
sows have been properly cared for and
are not too young at narrowing. In
the hands of the average farmer the
instruments often do more injury than
good.

With this weather the chicks may be
let out for little fresh air, sunshine
and exercise, but watch them carefully
They need constant care until they
reach maturity.
Poultry does not get sick without
cause. Find out what it is.
Do not let food remain in the feeding
dishes, as it will become sour and
cause sickness. The little chicks are
especially liable to become sick if the
food is not fresh.
Pay careful attention to the young
turkeys. Thanksgiving will find no
oyersupply.
Sweet milk placed before the chicks
little while once day is good for
them. 1t takes the place of meat, but
it soon becomes impure if left before
them long.

county, whose name has been mem
toned in connection with the con-
gressional nomination from this dis
trict, has signifed his willingness to
accept of denomination for the State
Senate. We learn from reliable sources
that the Union county people are
generally united in the desire that
Mr. Fowler should be a candidate this
fall, and as there is every reason for
the factions to get together in that
county they will doubtless present Mr..
Fowlers name at the convention. 1t

THE National Brewers association is
holding a convention in a Western
city that was fmade famous" by some
body's beer. The main topic being
considered is what to do to stem the
temperance and prohibition tide that
is sweeping the country. The brewers
argue that the trouble results from
the way the saloon business has been
conducted. and that it is up to them
to institute a reform and have the
trade put on more respectable basis,
so that there will be no reason to find
fault with it, They naturally claim
also that the best adjunct of temper
ance is the consumption of beer, be-
cause it contains such small percent
age Of alcohol as to make it innocuous.
The probable outcome of the gather
ing will be the adoption of a system
attic campaign against prohibition
throughout the country and genuine
effort to uplift the saloon business.
Those who have studied the situation
however, do not believe that it is the
fault of either the brewers or the sa-
loon keepers that the prohibition wave
has attained such Roadway. 1t is
more likely the result of public senti-
ment. People are finding out that the
less alcoholic beverages they consume
the better they are in every respect.
They are more able to attend to their
duties and their health is improved by
total abstinence or very moderate
indulgence in alcoholic drinks. Rail.
road complains, big manufacturing es-
adjustments, business houses, finan-
cial institutions, and many branches
of trade and industry that call for
clear heads and steady nerves are re-
fusing to give employment to men
who drink. Paterson Call.

JUSTICE GoFF, of New York, has
ruled that it is crime for a business

agree not to compete with the pur-

contract will be dangerously abridged.

THE taxation Of national bank and
trust company holdings will probably
be more rigid in future than in the
past. A most important step was
taken by the state board of equaliza-
ton of taxes Wednesday in connection
with the exemptions that will be al
lowed hereafter and the officials of
these institutions must now prove to
the assessors that whatever resolu-
tions appear on the records of the
boards of directors meeting, with
reference TO the purchase of exempt
securities, are positively correct and
have been lived up to. The tax com
missioners decided to send circular
letter to all the county boards advis-
ing them to insist that all banks and
trust companies be compelled to prove
that exempt securities were purchased
to represent capital stock, surplus and
undivided profits, before allowing ex-
emptionS claimed.
