! ABOUT HOGS AND SHEEP.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A little oilmeal fed twice week

sheep.
One of the advantages of swine hus-
bandry is that it gives quick and re-
munerative returns.
The difference in the leading breeds
of hogs is small and principally in de-
type.
Good sheep require more care to
maintain their excellence. Poor sheep
are always burden upon the rest or
the flock.
Hogs should always have yard of
their own away from the other stock,
for it is always found that returns are
better in the end.
A successful swine breeder needs to
have a thorough knowledge OF the
value of sanitation: also an Intimate
knowledge of all the requirements OF
his animals.
Always arrange your pen so that
eve will never have to jump over

sharp corners She should always have

and salt.

KEEPING GARDENS CLEAN.
Loss of Late Growing Vegetables En-.
sues If Patches Are NEGLECTED..

sues II Patches Are Neglected.
When the first radlshes, lettuce, peas
and beans have been taken from the
farm garden good many people seem
TO lose much of their interest in #
In many instances too much land ia
used as a garden spot, and it takes a
lot of unnecessary time to keep the
weeds down on 1t.
So as soon as the first gardening
enthusiasm Is over in the spring the
plants are neglected and the weeds
are permitted to riot wherever thew
will. Some gardens begin to look like
luxuriant weed patches by the 1st of
July. The rows aud beds are swallow
ed up by the army of weeds that have
overrun the rich soil.
This means an actual loss of late
growing vegetables. Where tomatoes
are being grown they will be rotted
by the dampness and heat of the close
vegetation. the weeds and the rank
grasses. They cannot ripen properly
for lack of the sunlight that is needed
for that purpose.
Where cucumbers. sweet corn. late
beans, beets or any one of q dozen
other vegetables have been put out the
neglected garden filed with weeds
ruins any chances they may have for
good production. The pillow, the weed

all through the warm weather. If the
garden is not kept clean and its soil
is not stirred the work of spring and
early summer is pretty well wasted
Where the weeds are fought steadi-
ly and determinedly right straight
through the growing season it is not
great deal of trouble to keep every one
of them from going to seed AS rule,
though, we lose most of our interest In
the garden shortly after the LIST of
July and let few million weed seeds
ripen and fall to the ground where
they will plague us next season.
The watering. mulching and even
planting should be kept up through all
of July and most of August. Fresh
NeeeldbieS are lulfy as pdlatdDle IN
August and September as they are in
May and June. Keep the rake and the
watering pot handy in July after the
weeds have been cleared away with a
good sharp hoe.
Some weed seeds ripen very early in
the season. Because of this it is in.
advisable to let the whole crop Of
weeds go till later in the summer and
then NOW or chop them down. You
will. of course. get rid of most of the
weed seed crop by doing this. but
there will be good many weeds
whose seeds have already ripened and
fallen to the ground.
Close cultivation and keeping every
weed down for couple of years, three
at the most should insure garden
practically free from weeds. If the
garden is not bigger than Is practical

Three Bridges Over Passaic
to Have a Man Added to
Crews, FreehOlders Decide

An extra man will be added to the
crews of three Passaic river bridges,
the joint bridge committee of the
Hudson and Essex Boards of Free
holders decided yesterday. The ad-
ditional man will be stationed in the
centre of the bridge when 1t Is
opened. At present there is one man
at each end. County Engineer Was
ser, of Hudson, pointed out to the
committee that in case of an accident
to the engineer while the bridge was
lopened he would be alone on the draw
and serious consequences might re-
suit. 47
The bridges to have the additional
man are the Clay, Jackson and
Bridge street spans. The salary Will
be 5000 year. The county engineers
were authorized by the committee to
prepare plans and specifications for
new tenders for the Jackson street
bridge. The plans are to be ready
by September 20, when the committee
will act on them. The expenditure
for the tenders, Freebooter Malta
said, would not exceed $1,000, where
the last ones for the Hackensack
bridge cost $4,000.

closure the playing surface has been
graded and rolled and now is being
hardened. The concrete circular wall
that entirely incloses the bowl Is be-
ing poured through the moulds and
another week will see this practically
completed.
Those who complained of the glare
from the Harvard Stadium will find
that the builders of the bowl have
colored the cement that will be poured

sidewalks Is about forty feet apove

surface Is about the same distance
