Among the important questions

question of bridge over the little

be paved this year to that river Con-

CEDAR CREEK TOWNSHIP
VOTES AGAINST SALOONS
Lowell and Shelby Both Remain in Dry
Ranks. Vets Divided Against Them
selves Give Opponents Victory.

till the polls closed at six o'clock In
the evening, they were kept busy. AT
least fifteen machines were employed.
by the two contending parties. and the
showers that fell internationally were
not permitted to interfere with the
battle.
All day long both sides claimed the
victory and so positive were the vets
of victory that they made arrange
ments for securing license. Out of the
total e40 votes in Cedar Creek town
ship ga were cast
Had the vets presented solid front
they would have won, but instead they
were divided among themselves. They
failed to unite on the two saloon
keepers who alone under the law are
entitled to operate, and some of the
would-be saloonkeepers fearing that
wet victory would be a vain one for
them, threw their forces to the drys.
The drys were not slow to take ad-
vantage of this, and their united
efforts brought them victory.
Under the present law 1t will be two
years before another effort can bs
made to re-establish the. saloon busi-
ness in Lowell, and some recent ex-
amples of stringent law enforcement
stand warning to would-be blind
piggers."

Welt men.
CoIoners Lead About 10000.
Col. Roosevelts Indicated plurality
on the preferential vote is 10000.
Senator LaFollette made a showing
in every county. but his vote, as ia.
as counted. indicated that he would
not get more than per cent of the
total.
The president made a good showing
in the city of Newark and this en-

therefore be gradual. The farmer should
ascertain what breeds are best suited
to his use, and the best breed for the
climate. He must know the conditions
under which the breed he selects will
do the best and give the greatest re-
turns. The best laying breed may prove
a miserable failure.
1t is a difficult matter to teach any
one who has never considered the mat
ter that the common barnyard stock is
not as good as any other. That one
stumbling block the farmer seems de-
termined not to remove and it is a
dangerous one, for as long as he clings
to old traditions and adheres to former
customs he will fail to recognize the i'm
portance of Improvement in other di-
rections. 1t takes nerve and determi-
nation to make these radical changes,
but better houses, better breeds, sys-
tematic feeding, cleanliness, and the
carful selection of breeding stock are
essential, and if neglected will surely
result in failure.

But the neglect of years places
them at a disadvantage, as they
find that while they are familiar
with details of farm management
and the care of animals, they are
lacking in the knowledge so es-
sential to success with poultry,
especially when they want to ven
ture in the keeping of poultry in
large numbers.
Without any real experience in that
direction. though accustomed to having
hens in the barnyards from boyhood
they make failures that might other
wise be avoided with the possession of
knowledge in the matter of poultry
raising. Failures occur from attempt
ing too much without experience.

who attempt to do anything with it. The prin-
cipal reason is that while they have given good
attention to other farm stock, they have not
looked deeply into matters relating to poultry.
They have not considered the raising of poultry
as business at all, but simply lean-to or ad-
junct.
The consequence is that while the farmer gives
attention to other farm stock, he has simply al
lowed his hens to manage for themselves. The
sick COW, sheep or hog is watched with the
greatest anxiety, and treated with the best and
utmost care to prevent loss. Infectious diseases
are guarded against in every possible way.
Farmers are beginning to learn that there is
profit to be gained from the small things on the
farm, and that the capital invested in poultry,
though not usually great, is sure to bring in a
return, and they are turning their attention in
