GRADES IN
SOUTH AMBOY
Reported Change in ParochiaI
School, Relieves Conditions.
Spcetal to NE ETENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, April 23:-The
NEWS correspondent was informed
on good authority that the Rev.
Father ~Strenski, of the Sacred Heart
church, said that the grades in the
Sacred Heart parochial school would
be advanced up to the tenth grade
and as a large part of their pupils
will on or before reaching that
grade leave school to enter upon
some occupation whereby TO gain a
livelihood or assist their parents.
this great bugaboo story about hay
ing to prepare such a large amount
of room in our public school build
ings for the reception of scholars on
their leaving the parochial schools
to enable them to be educated in the
more advanced grades seems to be
fallacy; therefore, would It not be
we'll for our Board of Education, if
possible, to ascertain the will of the
majority of the people as necessity
compels some changes, and also as
to whether the number of, children
warrant any great outlay Of money
at the present time in the increase
of the capacity of the buildings for
the accommodation of pupils.
1t certainly would be advisable
for those whom the majority of the
people have placed in a position to
represent them, to consider the mat
ter Of expenditure well as to the
most economical way of meeting the
requirements, and thus make the
burden as light as possible on their
constituents. Of course all of us
would love to see a modern massive
school structure erected, but can we
afford it at this time?

KEEPING EWES FLEECE DRY
Highly Important That Breeding
Sheep Should Receive Good Shell
ter From Either Rain or Snow.

The protection of breeding ewes
from falling snow is important, es-
pecially is it important when it falls
in the form of rain Winter rains and
also sleet are always cold. If sheep Of
the open wooled breed are long ex-
posed to these, they may do them
great harm. The closed wooded breeds,
rs the merinos, says Thomas Shaw,
will be harmed much less, as the wa
ter cannot readily enter the wool
which they carry. The shelter pro-
vided up to the Landing season may
be of the simplest kind, providing it
will protect from storms and wind.
The aim should be to give breeding
ewes large liberty in winter, if the
ground is bare, or even partially, for
it will do them good to give them
large liberty. They will make excur-
sions into the fields in search of grass
and the exercise will do them much
good They should be allowed to lie
in a we'll bedded yard at night, or
In the shed or house adjoining, as
they prefer.
The other necessary attentions in
clude regular feeding, a supply of salt
at all times accessible, an ample sup
ply of pure water and yards apart
from those of horses and cattle.

European Superstition.
Man Who Refused to Marry When He
Was Proposed To Fined Under
Scotch Act of 1288-Privileaes
Granted Women.

Brooklyn, n. Y.-HistOry gives the
ladies leap year privilege" as a well
accepted fact. 1t is an old one, be-
coming a part of the common law of
social life in Great Britain as early as
1906. "Courtship, Love and Matri-
mony," published in that year, says:
Albeit it is MOVIE become a part of
the common lave, in regard to the So
cial relations Of life, that as often as
every bissextile year doth return, the
ladyes have the sole privilege, during
the time it continueth, of making love
unto the men, which they doe either
by words or lookes, as to them it
seemeth proper, and moreover no man
will be entitled to the benefit of clergy
who doth in any wise treate her pro-
posaI withe slight or contumely."
One legend by which it is attempted
to account for the origin of the priv
ilege relates that an appeal was made
to ST. Patrick to accord the women
the same right of proposing at any
time as the men have. This he re-
fused, but was willing to concede the
right every seventh year. Finally, as
a compromise, he agreed that women

WJ NOTES

Breed for merit as well as pedigree
1t is very desirable that the eve
lambs exercise daily.
Rock salt for the cattle is prefer
able to the ordinary kind.
Wire and cut worms are numerous
in old meadows and pastures.
Never loosen or throw out any more
silage than you want to feed immedi-
ately.
Just now the heavy steer is much
sought after article in the live stock
markets.
The colts and unused horses should
spend most of each pleasant day in
the paddock.
The prosperous and most success.
full farmer is comfortable only when
bis stock is comfortable.
Those who do not have a supply Of
alfalfa on hand will find red clover
to be satisfactory substitute.
A pleasant, cheerful, fearless dispo-
sition is valuable quality in a road
ster or general-purpose horse.
Dat straw that is free from mold
makes an excellent winter forage for
mules, young cattle and boarding
horses.
Small breeders Of limited means
should aim to raise animals that COM
bine size, beauty and style with speed
ability, courage and endurance.
The meadows look good for pasture
in the fall and early spring, but the
man who keeps his cattle off Of them
always gets better crops of hay.
A horse or colt will thrive better
upon a twothirds ration of hay and
one'third Of straw than upon full IA,
ton of hay alone.

RACK AND LOADING DEVICES
Excellent for Handling Cattle, Hogs
or Sheep-Height and Length
Can Be Varied.

The following Is given in response
to recent inquiry for plan of a stock
rack, writes F. l.. Marsh in the Farm,
Stock and Home. Figure l is side
view of a rack suitable for handling
cattle, hogs or sheep. The length and
height can be varied for special rea-
son, but is about correct for general
use. The bottom will serve for
wood rack, by using stronger timber.
A 4X4 fir at each side and a 2X4 in
the middle is strong enough fer stock.
The bottom is boarded ciosswise.
The sides are nailed or bolted to
hardwood stakes, fitting into medium
sized rack irons Thus each side is
removable.
The end gates are held by cleats
and rods, as in common wagon box.
The rear end gate is shown in Fig. 2.
A similar gate is placed back of tho
low part. The front gate shoU'd be
tight A seat may be placed on the
low part, resting on side irons. The
front compartment can be used for
calves, or in case of full load the
middle gate can be removed.
Fig. 8 shows loading chute, placed
to connect with rear end OF rack. The
front end may be mounted on pair
Of old wheels. The height and pitch
should be suited to the height of the
wagon used. The bottom Of chute
should be cleated so stock will not
slip, and the chute should be wider
at rear end.
Fig, shows a paddock which can
be set where most convenient, and
after the stock are driven into it can
be moved to the rear end Of chute.
