HOPES ARE
REVIVED BY FORT
Burlington Mans Aspirations to
Senate Not to Be Opposed by
Governor, He Thinks.

TRENTON, June 23.-Assemblyman
Grif1th w. Lewis, of Burlington, House
majority leader last winter. came TO
Trenton yesterday to have a talk with
Governor Fort regarding the conflicting
statements made of the attitude of the
Executive toward him and his ambition
to be the next Senator from his county.
A Newark newspaper man not long ago
stated that the Governor proposed 70
go to Burlington and campaign for a
week, probably against Lewis and his
Assembly colleague, John b. Trick, II
they were candidates for further hon
ors at the hands of the voters.
Mr.. Lewis has formally announced
his candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for State Senator, TO succeed
Samuel K. Robbins. appointed clerk In
chancery at the close of the session.
He said today that there was but one
other who had to date appeared In

know whether he will seek the nomina-
tion or not said Mr.. Lewis. Il cannot
speak for Assenblyman Trick; he may
be a candidate"
Governor Fort bad assured him that
he was with him. at the close of the
session. Mr.. Lewis said, and had en-
couraged him in his plans for the po-
litical future. He expressed doubt that
the Executive had ever said he would
campaign against him and this doubt
of the Governors enmity was evidently
proven we'll founded when Mr.. Fort
stepped from his office and grasping the
burlington man warmly by the hand
asked solicitously how he was feeling
and declared:
I'm very glad to see you. I didn't
know you were out here" .
Chancery Clerk Robbins had luncheon
with the Governor and the Lewis boom
was a topic. Mr.. Lewis went back 10
his home county much encour-
aged and positive that there was moth

The hot weather of the last two days

and worthy of every encouragement.
Mr.. Moore said. however. that he
thought the park ought to be purchased
by the county, and, in fact, does not
see any means whereby the city can
buy the property.
We ought to have a system of parks
in this county" Mr.. Moore said, land I
think we would If the public would only

not had the advantage of being kept

We can truthfully say that the in

best investments any farmer or any
one who raises poultry can make. Who
would care to go back to the slow way
Of raising chicks with the sitting hen
when it can be done with the incuba-

hen the season of Matching is soon

the early fries for market can be sold
when the market prices are best and
the early pullets hatched that will be
wanted for fall and winter layers. We
do not have to wait on the sitting hen
to hatch out a few chickens when we
have the incubator to hatch them by
the dozens.

The accompanying cut furnishes an
excellent plan for exercising bull. A
large, strong post Is sunk into the
ground and securely set. On top of
this post Is placed an iron plate some
what similar to that used on the boil

which the king bolt passes. A long
sweep, evenly balanced, is placed upon
the top of this post and pinned by
means of long rod, or, as we might
say, king bolt. The sweep is necessarily
large at one end and small ut the
other, which makes 1t possible to bal

to the rope attached to the further
end Of the long arm, and In that way

The Value of Tile Draining.

Tile properly placed makes soil
dryer in wet weather and more moist
in dry weather. This is difficult IL
understand until we consider the na-
ture Of the soil.
Soil in proper condition is porous,
something after the manner of a
sponge. 1t will hold water up to a
certain point without leaking. Until it
becomes thoroughly saturated, 1t con-
tains air as we'll as water. Air is
warm and air is needed by plants in
the process Of growth.
Tile leads the water away quickly
in the spring so the air can penetrate
the soil and warm it so seeds will
germinate and grow quickly. I'm
drained land if low, fills with water
in the spring to the saturation point
and the excess of moisture passes off In
vapor through the process Of evapora-
ton. 1t requires great deal Of heat
to warm the water sufficiently to cause
it to pass off in this way. That heat is
lost
After evaporation has dissipated the
moisture and the sol becomes dry
enough to work it breaks up in clOds,
because it has baked down and packed
together like mortar. 1t is almost i'm
possible to prepare good seed bed in
such ground. d.-Agricultural Epitomist

Handling Manure.

1t Is pertinent also to here refer to
the trials conducted by the Cornell
Agricultural Station to demonstrate
the losses to stable manure when ex-
posed to teaching and weathering. A
pile of manure that contained elements
worth $5.4S, after being exposed for
five months was worth only $2.03. Leav-
ing manure in piles in the field is an
antiquated method that should never
be practiced, for the reason that 1t
results In fertiliZing the spots where
the heaps lie too heavily, giving them
fully three times as much Of the fer
tilizing elements as they need, while
three times as much ground receives
less than 1t needs, or not enough to
make a showing. Where manure Is
allowed to lie in heaps on a field for
few weeks or a month. it is an i'm
possibility to spread 1t so as to get
an even distribution Of organic mat
fer and of the elements Of fertility. 1t
is preferable to spread the manure di-
rect from the wagon with fork, al
though this is by no means an up-tO-
date way Of handling it. For the most
economical results. manure should be
hauled direct from the barn as soon
"a If is made and scattered over the
fields by means of spreader. In this
way. and in this way only, can the full
value of manure be saved, provided, Of
course, enough bedding is used in the
barn to nicely absorb all the liquid ex-
crement, the plant food of which
amounts to nearly one-half of the total
in the manure and liquid excrement.

The good ones are the cheapest in the
long run There are some incubatOrS
that have to be watched closely to give
results. but these are the thin-walled
kind that will not hold even tempera-
ture. Our incubator does not get any
watching after it is once set going.
We leave for an all-day visit any time
even at Matching time-and it takes
care Of itself.

tor will make more money than any
machine | know of.-Mrs. L. L. Brack.
