WAY TO ExTERMINATE MITES Injurious Little Insects Can Be De stroyed by Liberal Use of kero-
 sene and Powder.
CBy R. G. wEATHERsToNE.,

(By R. G. WEATHERSTONED We had a regular siege of cleaning 1p for the red mite lately. They got possession. somehow, but we came of victorious, though We still have to keep an eye out"
 We cleaned everything out of the hen house, including the perches and nest boxes. The former we carefully anointed with kerosene, placed in slanting position, and fired them. It was with genuine satisfaction that we watched the tiny tongues of flame wipe the pests out of existence. We sprayed the wall and dropping boards with kerosene and powdered the fowls with insect powder. Twice we went through this, and now We are resting comparatively easy.
 An emulsion made after the we'll known formula-kerosene one gallon, water one gallon, soap one-half pound Dissolve the soap in the water by boil ing, and while hot turn in the kerosene and churn briskly for five minutes. Sufficient for 15 gallons of water-or six ounces of carbolic acid (crude) to a gallon of hot water.
 Kerosene Is all we ever use Tor scaly leg. Kerosene, to which is added little sulphur and lard until an oint ment is formed, is said to cure the swell head caused by roup. if rubbed about the eyes and head.
 When chicks are dying, apparently without cause, and the weather Is un- usually damp and cold, feed table spoon of kerosene on three or four quarts of warm mash. It will put new life in them. and they will thrive and meet consequent dampness more bravely.
 When fowls show signs of roup or having taken cold, use tablespoon of kerosene in a gallon of water. and do not let them get at any other water.

The physician had taken his pa- tient's pulse and temperature. and proceeded to ask the usual questions.
 'It-er-seems, said he, regarding the unfortunate with scientific inter- est, that the attacks of fever and the chills appear on alternate days. Do 'ou thinks it your opinion-that they have, so to speak, decreased in violence, if I may use that word?"

Road Foundation.

The foundation of the road should be thoroughly drained by open side ditches which will carry off the wa ter, and where necessary tile drains should be laid in the foundation itself The surface of the road should be hard and smooth and have sufficient slope toward the sides to shed the surface water.

Cows require from one to eight ounces of salt per day. The more con- centrates they receive the more salt they require. It should be where they can have access to it every day. Ac- cording to an experiment made at the Wisconsin station, about two ounces per COW per day is the average amount required

New Basis of ReappOrtionment
in Report OF Congressional
Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Before ad-
journment today the house of repre-
~sentatives expects to pass the reap
.portionment bill. increasing its member
ship from 3sl to 453. Chairman Under
wood. of the ways and means COM
mittee, had planned to take the meas
ure up yesterday, but 1t was supplant-
ed by the free list bill. with the under
standing that 1t would be taken up to-
day. Efforts to get quick and favor
BILE action are due to the fact. that
many State legislatures are nearing ad-
journment.
No State, under the bill, loses in rep
resentation, the reapportionment merely
fixing at approximately $4,000 the
number of constituents entitled to one
representative.
Following yesterdays series of eau
cuses among the regular and insur-
gent Republicans in the Senate. intense
interest was apparent in the next nov
of the i%nsurgent senators, some of
whom insist they We're treated unfairly
in the appointment to committees. A
secret meeting of the Progressives was
called for this morning. 1t was thought
the whole fight might be transferred
to the open floor Of the Senate later
today.

Through the objection of Senator Cum

far back as 1907 the mayor and the en-
gineers of the Board of Works agreed
on the subway proposition, and have
urged it ever since. Mayor Housings

way and lease it to the Public Service
Corporation.

which will be read at the meeting OF
the board this afternoon:

IT beg to notify you that 1 have this
day received a letter from Thomas
N. McCarter, president of the Public
Service Railway Corporation, in the
following terms:
Nothing Done Since December 20.
LAS over four months has elapsed
since / wrote you on December ~
bringing to your attention the imper-
alive need of subway development IN
Newark, to relieve congestion at the
Four Corners, and az during the IN
terval nothing has been done by tho
city authorities In considering or ne
gotiating about this important subject,
and as the Legislature has ADJOURNED
for the year without enacting any leg
islation hat would permit OF the car
rying out of any plan, l herewith With
draw the proposition contained in that
letter, as it is too important a propo-
sition to remain in indefinite suspense.
This will leave the whole subject
| open to future consideration when IN
the Judgment Of the city authorities
the proper time has arrived. Mean
while we will do the. best we can to

IT have replied to Mr.. McCarter's let

26th instant. apprising me of your
Withdrawal Of the proposition mbodie
In your letter OF December 20 last, for

will communicate your decision to the
Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners.
Your letter seems to imply, though,
possibly l may read 1t wrong, a spirit
of neglect on the part of the city in re-
lation TO this matter. l need scarcely
point out TO you that negotiations look
ing to the construction of subways
would be futile without legislation, and
that the failure OF such legislation as
was requested in this direction left the
city with its hands tied.
IT deem it proper to submit the cor
respondence for your consideration.

GOWN SMUGGLING
EQUALS THAT OF
SLEEPER TRUNKS
Evidence Shows Some Convicted
in Famous Case Are Lead
ing Spirits. 81

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 2Z.-
Secret agents of the customs service
have discovered a system of smuggling
expensive gowns and women's cloth
ing from Paris which promises to ap-
proach in magnitude the famous
"sleeper-trunk' frauds.
Undervaluations and fraudulent
manifests are said to be the means
the suspected ones have used to carry
on their work.
Evidence in the possession OF Chief
Wilkie tends to indicate that some of
the smugglers convicted and fined in
the trunk frauds are the leading spirits
in the new scheme.
Raids which customs officers planned
to make today in New York and Chi
cago were expected to uncover guam
titles of the struggled goods with
values running into several thousand
dollars.

ERRORS COURT UPHOLDS
FREEHOLDERS ON ROAD.
Reverses Supreme Court De-
cisiOn That Contract Was Void.

TRENTON, April 27.-The Court OF
Errors and Appeals today reversed tho
Supreme Court in the disposition of
the contract awarded by the Board OF
t'reeholders of Atlantic county for the
building of a new road from Absecon
to Somers Point.
The award was originally given by
the Board of Freeholders under an
agreement with a trolley
that they would contribute toward part
payment Of the road for the privilege
of using the thoroughfare.
The Supreme Court held that the en-
tering into an agreement with the
traction company made the contract
for the building Of the road void. An
appeal was taken to the Court of Err
rors, with the result that the Supreme
Court is reversed and the action of the
Boar of Freeholders is confirmed. To.
days decision will now assure the
building OF the road which has been
the cause Of much agitation for some
years.

canoeing, once partaken of. holds the
victim enthralled ever afterwards.
One can learn to paddle as readily as
ne can learn to row. and the ease of
handling a canoe is one of the things
that has helped most to increase its
popularity. Ten or twelve years ago
canoeing as a source of pleasure and
pastime was practically unknown ex-
cept In a few localities. but canoe
clubs have been organized all over the
country and there is hardly a water
course that does not have its devotees
OF this sport, and the number of sub
stantial clubhouses that have been
constructed In different sections fully
indicates the interest this form of
recreation has aroused. and there is
no longer any question of the perma-
nancy of the use Of this type of water
craft; and those who have not had the
pleasure of an initial trip certainly
have something TO look forward to.
