THAT there is method in the Fielder
Colby gubernatorial campaigns, is album
dainty shown in the attacks of the coal
ition upon the candidacy of former gov
ernor Stokes. 1t was Colby who opened
the assault on Stokes regarding railroad
legislation while the latter was governor,
and Fielder has taken it up and is recit-
ing ancient history to show Stokes was
a director for time in the West Jersey
and Seashore road, from which he re-
signed in 1904-all to back up the accu-
sation that he was directly interested in
and represented the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. This is the same miserable attack
made in 1904, when the people of the
state repudiated it by electing Stokes by
a majority of Al, 644. 1t is surprising that
Fielder has forgotten the fate of the
Democratic candidate in that memorable
campaign, and should revamp that old
story so magnificently rejected by the
people of the state. Drowning men
catch at straws," however, and any old
thing with which to juggle in the hope
of deceiving unthinhng people is eager
ly seized. 1t may be that history will
repeat itself, and despite the Fielder Col
by coalition the people may reply TO their
assault on Stokes by giving the latter a
majority similar to that of 1904 Field
er's attack on the Republican platform
is better politics than his indulgence in
personalities, but he is far from dealing
fairly with it in his palpable misstate-
ments. Nothing could be further from
the truth than the statement that no
one is asking that voting be simplified
except those who can no longer control
primaries and elections" If Fielder is
really ignorant of the almost unanimous
call of the press, suggestion of the courts,
and demand of thousands of voters for
revision of the Geran law, he is not quail
flied to fill the executive Office. His as
sertion that sit is the most perfect piece
of election legislation ever passed in this
country" is downright absurdity in
view of public opinion regarding it. OF
course the hodge-podge of a law is partly
his own work, which will account for his
pride in the misfit, but really Fielder
ought to think more of his reputation
than attempt to defend an imperfect law

COUNTY clerk Thompson, of Bergen.
has been ordered by Justices Swavze
Bergen and Voorhees, to print on the
official ballots for the November election
the names of the thirty-two candidates
for election to the Board of Freeholders.
instead of the names of the seven can
didates for smaller board This means
that Bergen county's affairs will con-
tinue to be managed by large board.
despite the numerous legislative acts
that have been passed to give to the
people of that and several other counties
the smaller, more responsible and more
economical governing body. At one of
the special sessions of the 1913 Legisla-
ture an act was passed that gave to the
people of Bergen county the right to.
vote on the smaller board referendum at
the special election called by Governor
Fielder to choose successor to the late
congressman Martin. The vote was taken
and the referendum adopted, but the
Supreme Court has held that the adop-
ton of the smaller board act of 1912 was
not legal. All together there have been
passed at least dozen separate acts to
give to the people the power to get rid of
the larger boards. In twelve of the
twenty-one counties the voters have de-
cided-in some instances more than
once-in favor of the smaller board; but
in five or six cases their will has been
thwarted. The result would be laughable
il it was not such serious business.
However, the decision in the Bergen
county case will have the effect of lining
the Bergen senator and assemblymen UP
with the smaller board advocates in
Mercer, Burlington, Union, Morris and
Sussex counties, in the effort to procure
an effective law. Such law will be one
that will make the smaller boards COM
pulsory upon all of the counties.
Any argument that such an attempt
will be opposed to the principle of home |
rule, will be met by the reply that when
twelve of the twenty one counties, con-
tanning more that four-fifths of the en-
tire population of the state, have APP
proved policy, the Legislature will be
entirely justified in declaring that the
result may be taken to fairly represent |
the sentiment of the state.-7rent0n |

Mr.. Fielder from giving the public the
proof that he processes to possess and

"As goes Essex SO goes the state" is
an old political saying, and the Newark
Neaos revives it this year and refers to
the apparently strained relations between
the Democratic candidate for governor
and MIR. Nugent. The NeaOs is of the
opinion that Mr.. Nugent is simply play
ing to control the Legislature, and adj
vises all voters in Essex-Republican
Democrats and Progressives-to vote for
the Progressive candidates for Assembly,
practically admitting that the desires of
Mr. Nugent will be gratified unless some
thing desperate is done to stop his work.
At the same time with the idea that las
goes Essex SO goes the state the News
is working hard to defeat former Governor
Stokes, against whom it seems to.have
an undying grievance.

Garden in Hot Weather.

When hot weather visits us the fate
of most gardens hangs in the balance.
AT this time, the garden needs our
care more than at any other and we
feel less like giving it the necessary
care. The weather is hot and the air
is still, and a hammock in a shady
nook looks better to father than any
Man With the Hoe" tableau, especial
ly after a hard days work. Remember
that the kind of weather that gives
you a very tired feeling, makes the
weeds grow rank and bold and dries
the garden soil until it is almost wa
terproof.
Probably you feel that you don't
need the exercise nearly as much as
you did in the spring, and probably
you are right; at the same time it will
do you good if you take it properly,
and you cannot afford to have the
garden go to pieces just when a little
work will pull it through in grand
shape.
Get up half an hour earlier than
usual and do your garden work then,
instead of waiting until the tired even
tide or trying to lump it all into a
weeks end job. A little daily work
in the cool of the early morning will
send you to your regular bread-and-
butter job feeling many times better
than that little extra sleep would.
Gone is that brown taste-gone the
dead-alive feeling that the long sti-
fling summer night brings.
Nature is at her loveliest while the
dew is on and half the fun of garden
ing is getting close to nature. Do your
gardening before you are tired out and
enjoy it to the utmost.
We have previously told you what
to do for the weeds, which, like the
poor, are always with us. Unlike the
poor, however, they need no assist
ance, but the strongest possible re-
sistance, because they are altogether
too we'll able to fend for themselves.
Cut off their heads, cut off their
feet, burn their middles, and do it be-
fore they have any offspring. Then
start in and do it all over again, be-
cause they resurrect mighty fast IL
given the slightest opportunity.
Keep the soil surface in a dry, pull
verified, NEEDLESS condition, and never
let it harden. Pull the weeds out of
the rows, where the hoe cannot reach
them, because they do more harm
here than between the rows.
If the garden shows lack of moist
ure, it must be furnished, and the best
way to do this is to irrigate at night.
This is better than sprinkling. be-
cause the water soaks in deeper and
evaporation is much less at night than
in the daytime. A thorough soaking
once a week is plenty and the soil
should be cultivated the next morn
ing to hold the water.
This, then, is the time when a soil
full of mi is appreciated. 1t
holds more water and does not bake.

much care or little, 1t Will do its very
best to bloom early and often, and 1t
will succeed most remarkably well.
Did you eve know any persons who
did not like the perfume of the Sweet
Pea? We do not, and we are sorry
fer them if there be any such.
In variety of tints the most fastidi-
Gus can be suited, as there are 40 or
80 different shades and mixtures to
choose from. They range from a deep
pansy purple through all shades and
mixtures of blue and red, to the purest
vivid white. The colors are not mere
ly surface colors. They are deep
colors that actually live.
The proper way to grow sweet peas
to their greatest perfection is to dig
a trench a foot wide and a loot deep,
as early as possible in the spring. Fill
in six inches with rich, loose loan and
plant the seed three inches apart and
one-half inch deep after soaking them
in water. AS soon as the seedlings
are six inches high fill in with earth
around them until only two inches of
the plant shows. This treatment will
insure a more extensive root develop
ment and more resistance to drought.
Fill in from time to time until the
bottom of the trench is lsvel with the
land. Furnish a support for the vines,
either woven wire, branches, Or a
fence, and they will run up several
feet.
Be sure that you pick all of the
blossoms as soon as they are perfect
and the plants will bloom from early
summer until frost. If allowed to go
to seed the plants will promptly

MEAMS TO PREVENT
~EGG-EATING HABIT
Fowls That Are Given Free Range
Usually Find Plenty of
Employment.

One of the most annoying things the
p%oultryman has to contend with is the
egg-eating hen 1t is usually sup,
posed to be caused by the hen cray
ing some element that is contained in
her ration, but | hardly think this is
correct. | believe the lack Of food
and idleness is the cause, says a writ
er in the Farm Progress.
But no matter what the cause, it is
a good idea to use means to prevent
the hens from forming the habit, for
prevention is always the cheapest
cure. If the nests are placed at a
height that will prevent the hens
standing on the ground and reaching
into them, the danger of ~egg-eating
will be lessened; for if nests are
made so small that the hens cannot
stand erect in them, they will not eat
the eggs, for the hen demands some
comfort while making her meal.
l once noticed a number Of China
eggs lying around the floor of a poul-
try house, and, upon asking the keep
err the reason, was informed that this
was the plan to prevent the egg-eat-
ing habit.
1t will be very seldom that the hens
will contract the habit if they are
kept busy. Hens that are given free
range usually find plenty of employ.
ment, but those that are confined
should be given plenty of litter with
grain scattered through it, that they
may be kept working all the time
through the day.
When a number of the flock con-
tract the habit it will take consid.
cradle effort to break them, hence the
necessity of taking all means to pre-.
vent the practice. When only one OF
two of the hens have learned the
habit it is best to dispose of them
unless very valuable.

Sweet Peas.

No flower is more generally beloved
than the old fashioned Sweet Pea. 1t
was dear to the hearts of our great
grandmothers and their great-grand-
mothers as well, and for no telling
how many generations back of that.
1t belongs to a large family whose
scientific name is taken from the Pc
culiar butterly-like form of the bios
SONS. The garden varieties of green
peas, string, wax, navy, pole and lima
beans and the ornamental beans, are
its first cousins. Some of our most
valuable field crops, notably alfalfa,
red, crimson, alsike and white clover,
are first cousins once removed, and
every wild flower that has the butter
fly blossom is more or less distantly
related.
Really, we have immense cause to
be thankful for many members Of the
leguminous plants. AS field crops
they form the finest kind of hay and
pasturage, and they are the only cul-
tivated plants that possess the power
of transferring nitrogen from the air
to the soil. Without them it would be
practically impossible to keep u soil
productive.
In the floral field, this family is not
so numerously prominent al some
other groups, but the Sweet Pea
makes UP for any shortages in mum
bers by it's rare merit.
No flower will grow better under as
many varying conditions as this one
Light soil or heavy, fertilizer or ne
fertilizer, deep trench or shallow

ject to mildew. The removal of the
flowers and prevention Of seed pots
lengthens the blooming period.
The pansy is a favorite with all,
but is not so easily grown as some
of the ANIMALS. For early bloom the
seed should be sown in the fall in
beds and transplanted to pots as win
ter approaches. 1t the spring these
little plants may be set in beds and
will bloom in p~rofusion early in the
summer. Except in the far north it
is possible to winter the plants by
leaving in outdoor beds and covering
with mulch, which should be raked
off in the spring. Seed sown in rich
soil in July will produce blooming
plants for the fall months.
The best of the annual climbers
are Moonflower, Morning Glory, Cy-
press, Canary-Bird flower and Doll
chos. Moon1ower seed should be
soaked in warm water over night, and
the seed OF all should be sown in
boxes and later transplanted in rich
soil when 1t is warm.
