DECIDES IN FAVOR
OF DEAD TEACHER
Commission Rules Dismissal by
Orange School Board
Was Illegal.
tFrom a stan correspondent.I

TRENTON, N. j., April 19.--Assist-
ant Commissioner of Education J.
Brognard Belts yesterday rendered
two decisions setting aside d'smissals
of school teachers by the Boards Of
Education OF the city Of Orange
and of the township of Lumberton,
in Burlington County,
Both dismissals We're resisted on
the grounds that they were in VIC
lation Of the teachers tenure of office
law of 1909.
In the city of Orange case the
teacher, Helen r. Sumner, now de-
ceased. was notified in April, 1910,
that her services would not be re-
CURED after the close of the then
school year. The Orange school board
claimed that this was not dis
nllssal and claimed it had a right to
terminate Mrs. Summers services at
the end of the school year.
Mrs. Sumner appealed to the state
Board of Education. but subsequently
died and the appeal was continued
by her administrator.
Mr.. Belts, in his decision, says that
the action of the Orange school board
in refusing to reemploy Mrs. Sumner
in September, 1915. WAS a dismissal
and a violation of the provisions OF
the teachers tenure of service law
and was Illegal, null and void. The
decision does not say anything, how
ever, as to how much salary Mrs,
Summers administrator is entitled to
collect.
In the Lumberton Township case
the teacher. Ella Conroy. was dis
missed at the end of the school year
of 1912, and subsequently in January,
1918, she was tried on charges of in
competency and again dismissed.
The alleged incompetency consisted
of deafness, but as she had been
afflicted with the same deafness for
eight years without complaint from
the Lumberton school board, Mr..
Belts held that it was not a sufficient
reason for her dismissal This, he
said, was particularly so since, in
June, 1912, she had procured
mechanical device which so assisted
her in hearing that her deafness was
scarcely noticeable.

CARE OF POULTRY
IN COLD WEATHER
Better to Have Small Flock in
Good Condition Than Larger
Number and Less Eggs.

The time is nearly here when the
hens will have to be kept in the house
out of the cold and storm. Remem-
Der that you must not try to keep too
many hens in one house. Better a
small flock in good condition and lay
ing we'll, than large flock with fewer
eggs and twice the expense.
Leaves are good for the litter, and
now is the time to save some for the
hens to scratch this winter. Rake
them up while they are plentiful, and
store them somewhere under cover so
that they will be ready for use.
Save a barrel OF dry earth for the
hens dust bath this winter Mixed
with some wood ashes, and dampened
just little, it will be great help to
the hens in keeping them free from
lice. II a box of 1t is placed in a
sunny part of the hen house, the hens
will enjoy bathing in it, and you will
not need to use the insect powder so
often.

HOPE TO RAISE La9GE SUM
Millions Of Red Cross Christmas Seals

Few people have any idea of the
magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign. This year over 100.
100000 seals have been printed and
distributed: II placed end-to.end
these seals would extend nearly 2,400
miles, or practically from New York
to Salt Lake City. They have been
sent to over $4,000 different agents
and will be sold aud handled by an
army Of not less than 100000 volun-
teers, including men, women and chill
dren. Millions of advertising circu.
lars have been scattered throughout
the country, and so thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or
ganized that it is doubtful II many
people in the more populous states
of the country will not have heard Of
tie Red Cross seal and its mission in
the prevention Of tuberculosis. II IL
hoped that at least 50,0000 900 seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
is needed to cover the actual cost Of
printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commu-
nifty, where the seals are sold.

The low-down uniformly pruned
tree also will produce more fruit, and
of quality superior to that of the
tall tree, while the ease with which
the fruit is picked from the low trees
recommends them to all.
The ends of all low-hanging
branches also should be pruned back
SO that one can pass under them on
foot, or with a vehicle in harvesting
the fruit crop, which not only makes
the picking handler, but avoids dam
aging the trees by peeling and break
ing up the limbs.
After the pruning is completed, all
pruned limbs should be removed
from the orchard, the smaller ones
being utilized for filling up washes
about the farm, the larger ones being
hauled to the wood pile and used for
fuel Where limbs of considerable
size have been sawed off, the stub
should be given thick coat of paint,
which will guard against the wood
cracking during some of the very
warm days that usually come before
winter sets in.
Then this paint serves to hold the
wood together during the severe
freezing weather of midwinter.
Where 1t has been necessary to cut
doYn whole trees that were dead
or badly diseased, note of these
should be made so that one can fill
in their places next spring with new,
young trees of the same varieties.
1t ia also we'll to remember here
that the old and diseased trees not
only take up valuable space in the
orchard, but they are liable to spread
disease among the healthy trees, and
they always harbor pests that are in
furious to the entire orchard.

COATING MIXTURE
FOR FARM TOOLS
Recipe for Preparation With
Which to Treat Pieces of Steel
or Iron Machines.

Do not get in such haste when put
ting tools away as not to look after
any that may need repairs. If this
cannot be attended to at the time of
storing the tools, place the piece in
the workshop until more leisure time
is available, and then attend to 1t. A
great saving OF time will be effected
In this way, and will help along when
the time comes when there will be a
half dozen jobs, or more, to be at
tended to at the same time.
Here is an old recipe for a prepare
ton with which to coat pieces of steel
or iron machines to protect them
from rust: Melt together one pound
of lard and a lump of rosin as large
as a walnut. Heat the lard and add
the rosin, which must first be reduced
to a powder. Any piece Of machinery
that is coated with this mixture will
be sufficiently protected from danger
of rust.
Machines that have the proper care
taken of them will last for years and
give satisfactory service. And the
owner will not be compelled to waste
time in getting them repaired at some
critical uime when every minute
counts so much; nor will he have TO
replace them with new ones every
few years.

The next step in order is the prun-
ing of trees, as the seasons growth of
wood is now thoroughly ripened and
there will be no bleeding" from the
pruned branches, nor will there be
any checking Of development among
the branches, both of which often
comes as result of spring pruning,
since one is apt to put of doing this
work till the sap begins to rise, or
neglects to do 1t at all.
Next years fruit crop depends
largely upon the efficiency with which
the pruning is done at this time. The
uniform distribution OF branches.
height of the trees, and the health in
general of all parts of them left for
bearing fruit-all have their infu-
ence. Branches should not be left
so long and slender that they will not
support goodly burden of fruit.
AS a rule, all water sprouts, those
straight shoots running directly up
ward from the main branches, should
be removed. Limbs that are seen to
be partly dead or decayed should be
cut back until one is sure no part Of
them is left. as 1t would but invite
further decay, and the sustenance
drawn by them would be a useless
drain on the vitality of the trees.
All tall, thick, or top-heavy trees
demand close and careful pruning.
Fruits which are reared high in mid
air are not as exempt from the ac-
ton of the wind as II they were low
er down. The top of the high tree
itself is very apt to be caught In the
high wind and damaged, perhaps ru.
