DOOMED
AT SPOTSWOOD
Mayor AppIeby May Run for
Freebooter Again.:
Special to the EVEN1NG NEWS.

Special to the EPENINO VIEWS.
Spotswood, Dec. 12.-There is a
quiet boom" on here In favor OF
Mayor Arthur B. Appleby, of Spots
wood, as a regular nominee of the
Democratic party for the office OF
freebooter next November. Mayor
Appleby has many things in his
favor . as he can stand on his record
while a member of the Board Of
Freeholders a number of years ago,
if he finally decides to enter the
primary contest. According to re-
liable information, His Honor would
not refuse the nomination, II tender
ed to him by the party leaders, but,
on the other hand, he is also OF the
opinion that his days of successful
campaigning are over He has beer
before the people for the office of
freeholder, as stated, and county
| clerk, but was defeated for the lat
ter office.
Inasmuch as Freebooter Andrew
| Ely, of Dayton, will probably not
| stand for reelection. as he believes
| that he has been sufficiently honored
in two successive elections, 1t is con-
| coded that Mayor Appleby or any
| other strong candidate from this Sec
ton can secure the nomination on
the Democratic ticket in September,
1913.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Number of Hens to a Pen.

The Maine experiment. station re-
Gently finished a test to ascertain the
number of hens most profitable to
keep In pens. All the pens were 1Ox16
feet, giving 160 square feet. The hens
were Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks,
and these tests continued six months.
The hens were fifteen, twent.',
twenty-five and thirty to a pen. The
conditions and hens were as much
alike as possible to make the test a
conclusive one.
The pen with fifteen hens made a
profit Of so cents per hen, and the
eggs laid numbered 9T6.
The pen with twenty hens made a
showing of 1,20S eggs for the pen
and a profit OF II cents per ben.
The pen with twenty-five hens made
a laying record of 1928 eggs and a
profit of 35 cents per hen.
The pen with thirty hens had an egg
production Of 1900 and a profit Of &C
cents for each hen.
The experiment shows distinctly
that hens ian be so crowded as to re-
duce the profit OF an egg farm. The
difference Of twenty-five eggs per
ben for six months Is great. On the
basis Of fifteen to the pen the profits
OF the total ninety hens were S72: on
n hasis OF thirty to the pen the profits
were $50. In each case the actual cost
Of feed was deducted.

South Amboy, Dec. 12.-Some of
the citizens in what is known as the
villages part of the city are complain
ing about the youths in town using
air rifles. The guns carry the leaden
pellets with a velocity equalling that
of small charges of powder. We
think there is a law against their
use.
Be that as 1t may the casualties
during last week: a chicken killed, a
dog and cat manned, and a lady only
escaped a few inches as the pellet
buried itself in a board in the fence
on n side of her yard. Boys should
not be denied innocent pleasure ana
speaking from experience nothing
gave US so much pleasure in boy
hood as a gun. Yet if we derive
