have served more than 10 years. re-
ceive fun pay for the rest of their

He is Of the opinion that the bill Is
not happily drafted, In that Revised

by, the judicial code. section 297, but
IN the judicial code in sec

SOIL SUITABLE FOR CELERY.

People often ask what type of soil
is best for the growing of celery.
This question would be unnecessary
if they would take the time to visit
the celery field owned by the Somers
Brick Company and managed by Mr..
Braddock.
Last spring, answering a call from
Mr.. Somers to inspect some land ad-
joining the brick plant to tell him if it
was suitable for growing celery, and
if so to recommend the fertilizer nee
essary to grow the crop, l inspected
the farm, found some of the finest
land in the county, recommended the
plant-food needed, and Mr.. Braddock
and his men did the rest.
When | visited the field a short time
ago, l found one of the finest fields Of
celery l have ever seer in the State.
Inquiring of Mr.. Braddock how he
was disposing of it l learned he was
selling it wholesale to be re-sold again
to the hotels in Atlantic City. 1t
would be well worth any ones time to
visit the Somers Brick Company farm
at Bakersville.

DID LAST WEDNESDAY.

dictment. He withdrew his vote.
Charles R. Corson was the lowest
bidder for the contract to build a re-
tanning wall in front of the property
of Mrs. Carrie Smith, wife of the
Freebooter. The Supreme Court will
be asked to appoint a condemnation
commission.
Assemblymen have pledged them
selves to work for amendment to the
State Road Laws of 1912, which for
bids the appropriating of State mon

'usable road with necessary bridges"
The law as it stand blocks the Alb
secon-Atlantic City boulevard project,
according to an opinion of the Attor-
ney General read to the Freeholders
by County Solicitor Higbee. Free
holders will enlist the aid of Senator
Walter E. Edge in the situation.
Although new roads have been
built with State money since the State
Roads Act of 1912 was passed, Coun-
ty Solicitor Higbee says they will not
be affected by the Interpretation
which the Attorney General places
on the section of the law covering
such improvements as the Somers
Point Longport boulevard. Otherwise
the State would be placed in the po-
sition of defending itself against a
charge of having violated its own
laws.

MEAT SCRAP FOR LAYING HENS.

Experiments conducted at the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton during the past years have dem
onstrated conclusively the great value
of meat scrap for laying hens during
the winter. In summer the layers
get much protein from grubs, insects,
and other natural sources. During
their confinement to the laying house
from this time on, a dry mash, fifteen
to twenty-five percent of which is
meat scrap containing about fifty per
cent of protein, is a necessary requi-
site to egg producing rations. Since
approximately one-third of the dry
matter in the egg is heterogeneous ma
terial in the form of protein, this fun
damental nutrient in laying mashes is
essential. Protein from vegetable
sources, such as oil meal, gluten, and
%cottonseed meal, is valuable, but these
materials should not be used to the
| exclusion of meat. Protein from ami
NAL sources seems to be more digesti-
BILE, the birds seem to relish it better,
and an increased egg production fol-
lows its use. Dry granulated bone is
also a valuable source of animal pro-
| TEN, as it contains about twenty-five
per cent of protein, and from twenty
to twenty-five per cent of phosphoric
acid. The latter is especially valua-
| BILE in aiding the assimilation of other
foods, and improving the ash constitu-
| ents for shell and for body develop
ment.
A normal production of eggs can
not be secured if protein is deficient
