LABOR AND THE AMENDMENTS

The New Jersey State Federation OF
Labor, after listening to the opinion OF
it's counsel, Joseph A. Beecher, on the
pending constitutional amendments,
and the message of Governor Fort on
the same subject voted to oppose their
adoption. Yet, as nearly every per-
son who has spoken or written on
the subject has pointed out, the pro-
posed changes are in the interest OF
the people, the workingmen.
AS Counselor Beecher said in his
opinion, which had been asked for by
the president of the federation:-"T The
third (the judiciary amendment is
of great Importance and, l think,
should have unanimous approval; in
deed, | agree with those who have
declared that It's defeat would be a
public misfortune. The most import
ant result OF this amendment is the
institution of only two courts in place
of the many that now exist and clothed
with all their powers.
"The adoption Of this amendment
will eliminate large number of courts
that are unnecessary and thereby
simplify procedure, prevent delays.
lessen expense to litigants, reduce their
cost to the taxpayers, and secure a
more direct and certain administra-
ton of justice for the people.
/ may say that it contains nothing in
any way unfavorable to organized
labor, or that restricts or interferes
with the power of the legislature to
promote and advance the welfare OF
wage-workers and that of the indus
trial population and commercial in
terests of the state"
The defeat of the judiciary amend
ments proposed in 1908 has been
ascribed to organized labor, which had
a grievance because of the action of
the court of chancery in contempt
cases. That has been remedied by
chapter ITS of the laws of 1909, which
provides an appeal to the court OF
errors and appeals in all cases where
any person or corporation shall be
adjudged in contempt by the court of
chancery of the state OF New Jersey,
for acts done or omitted elsewhere than
in the presence of the court, and the
court shall, in consequence, impose
upon said person or corporation any
fine or Imprisonment or other punish
ment.p
1t may be that the federation's OPP
position was declared in ignorance of
this new law. There. certainly is moth
ing in any Of the amendments unfay-
orable to organize labor On the
contrary, the judiciary amendment is
in the interest of all Norkingmen, and
should receive their support.

PRESIDENT TAFT's coming "swir G
around the west" will come within
700 miles of .aequalling the record
breaking trip taken by President
Roosevelt in the spring of 1908. Mr..
Roosevelt's trip covered 1898 miles,
while Mr.. Taft's trip, as now planned,
will cover 1920. 1t is barely possible
that few short trips will be added to
the itinerary as now arranged, for no
other reason than to bring the total
above the Roosevelt mark.

APRIL 18th of next year is the date
set for the beginning of the enumera-
tion by which the census of 1910 is to
be taken. This decennial work Of
counting the people and casting up the
vast resources OF the country is ex-
tremely interesting and at the same
time one of the most important with
in the province of the federal govern
ment, and it is creditable to those who
have performed it since the early days
of the republic that it has been free
from the taint of scandal and remark
ably accurate in view Of the immen-
sity Of the task.

The first thing to do for scaly leg is
to get every bird troubled that way
out Of the flock by itself. Then the
roosts and all the woodwork of the
houses should be thoroughly washed
with kerosene. Boiling water or white
wash with few drops of carbolic
acid will also do the work Do any
thing to kill the parasites, which make
their home in every crack and crevice.
When the houses are clean, keep them
so. This is your only salvation.
To relieve the hens which are suf-
fering take sulphur and lard, mix them
and rub the mixture on the legs once a
week till cured Some good poultry
men use simply gas tarNrubbed on well.

Some farmers think that a straw
rick is a good place for the sow and
her brood to sleep. This is a mistake.
1t is best to keep them away from the
straw pile winter and summer. In the
winter the pigs will burrow beneath
the straw. get too warm and take cold
when they come out into the freezing
atmosphere. Coughing and wheeling
is the result, and the pigs do no good
or die. Besides. if burrowed beneath
the straw they are liable to be stepped
ON and seriously injured or killed by
the stock running to the rick.
During the summer months especial
ly should the SOW and her young be.
fenced from the straw pile. If they
burrow down into the half rotted
straw they will be very apt to contract
some disease.

When scalding poultry for market 1t

Care of MIX Vessels.

The sooner the milk utensils and
separator are washed after use the
easier it is done and the less danger
there is Of their becoming foul. To do
this properly you need three waters.
First, use a lukewarm water to re-
move all the milk.
Second, use Water little warmer,
into which should be thrown handful
of salsoda or few drops Of concen-
trated I've.
Third, use an abundance Of boiling
water, which must penetrate every
nook and corner and remain long
enough to destroy every germ that
may still be looking for home.

State Gets Big sum From Inheritance

State Gets Big sum From Inheritance
Prosperity has struck the state
treasury, at least so far as the collec-
tion of the collateral inheritance tax
is concerned, and according to the es-
innate of Comptroller Henry J.. West.
when the fiscal year closes, on October
3lst, next, the treasury will be at
least 100000 richer from this source.
The comptroller bases his estimate
on comparison of the receipts from
this tax for the first nine mopths Of
the last fiscal year, which were $685.
697.7l, with the receipts from this
source for the first nine months of
this year, which were $500, sol. As, show
ing an increase of 1884, 803.71. There
are also a number of large estates to
be settled, on which, it is expected,
the tax will be collected within the
next three months.
Comptroller West does not attribute
this large increase in the collateral in
heritance tax to the settlement of any
large estates, but says the condition is
due to the stringent laws passed by
the last legislature. Under the law
now no transfer of stock owned by a
person who has died in the state can
be made without the consent of the
state comptroller, and this has had the
effect of bringing to the attention Of
the state for taxing purposes large
amount of personal property which
had hitherto escaped.

Poultry Notes.

Others have built up an egg laying
strain. Why not do so yourself?
Lazy hens cause much of the high
prices for eggs. Make 'em get busy
and hustle
The warmer the weather the more
water required, as more is thrown off
by the body.
Many hen that is otherwise well
fed may fail to lay on account of lack
of water.
Successful poultrymen, in order to
keep their poultry on paying basis,
are continually culling their hocks.
One of the. great values of green food,
it is said, lies in its ability to aid in
the digestion Of other things. Farm

Sheep Notes.

Cold air will not injure sheep, but a
wet coat and cold wind may prove
as dangerous as it would with any
other animal.
Cornstalks are valuable fodder for
sheep, and If they are cut green and
properly cured and then put through
the shredder there win be but little
waste.
Breeding ewes should not be allowed
to get fat. They should be kept in
good condition and SO fed as to be
plump and hard. but there should be
very little surplus fat on them. If
pastures fail late in the fall they
should be given extra feed in order to
keep them in good condition, so there
will be no trouble getting them in
lamb.

George Lacey and Buster Sturgis
enjoyed few days vacation last week
and the news somehow reached Dover
and gave rise to the following news
in the Dover indie" -
9 1t has been rumored around Dover
that George Lacey has resigned as
pitcher Of the Parksides, owing to a
misunderstanding. Collins, of Rocka-
way, who is one of the best catchers
in this section, has been shifted to
third base and Sturgis, new man,
put behind the bat. This shift of the
players is said by many to be the cause
of the resignation of pitcher Lacey.
Sturgis is q fine catcher but the work
of Collins is much better liked by the
fans"
Pitcher Flick Luyster, who twirled
for the Morristown Lackawanna
league team, has been purchased from
the Hartford, Conn.,, club by Pitts
burg, upon recommendation of Second
Baseman John Miller, of the Pirates.
Luyster formerly twirled for the
Montreal club. Later he went to the
Hazelton club, of the Atlantic league,
and was with Mt Carmel for part of
the summer. Luyster was a good hit
ter when playing here and can also
play the outield.

night made tax levy, allowing the
same as last year for general ex-
penses, $1,000, and adding thou

board was unanimous on the propo-
sition that now when there are no

way of building or special repairs.
the policy Of paying off the bonded
debt of the district, which is not
heavy one, should be taken up in
order to stop the annual drain to
