NJ. A C. To Develop Utility Fowls

"A ~. III DcNclOp - tihty
According to state news dispatches
from the M. A. c. there is going to be
something doing in the poultry de-
partment. The press article reads as
follows:
professor c. II. Burgess, new head
of the poultry husbandry department
of the Michigan Agricultural college,
has started war on fancy poultry.
Hereafter said Professor Bur-
CESS, the college will confine its at
tention to developing birds of utility
and not for beauty. 1t has been clear
ly demonstrated that the prize win
ming bird cannot begin to compare
with the standard bred bird which has
been bred for laying qualities.
owe have stocked the college with
1000 of the best laying hens to be
purchased in this country and Eng
land, and during the coming year we
will conduct a series of experiments
working to the end of producing hens
which will lay and still have a fair
amount of good scoring points. We
will also keep a flock Of 60 fancy birds
in order that poultry students may
learn what is required for prize win
ming poultry.
"Records will be maintained to
show the difference in the laying abil-
ity of the fancy and utility stock
Eggs for setting will be sold to the
farmers of the state at cost and the
college will do everything in its power
to be of assistance to the poultry rails
ers in a campaign for greater egg
production

Prevalent Diseases in November

Prevalent Diseases in November
Archie +. Vandervort in Poultry
Post, talking about diseases, says;
THE common dieases OF hens are
never more seen than in November.
That is the time for roup, and ca
tarrhs, canker and bronchitis. The
first cool month seems to favor the
diseases more than the severe days
that come later in December and jan
uary Many of the diseases can be
avoided by the open fronts, clean lit
ter and sweet grains. Every poultry
raiser should have good book relat-
ing to diseases of poultry. In buying
such books make sure that it gives
much space to methods of preventing
illness. | have nothing here to say
as to drugs and curing sick birds, but
| want to impress you now with the
thought that prevention is a lot more
satisfactory than curing diseases.
Your book will tell you the causes
and prevention of illnesses and you
will be working in the light in your
care and feeding of your fowls"

the application of thin course of
fine gravel and when these needs are
met, unless the traffic be so great
as TO make the gravel structure alb
solutely inadequate, the gravel road
will be a most satisfactory highway
not only to the automobile but to the
heavy and slow going horse drawn
vehicles.
Without the maintenance even the
stone-like concrete will not stand the
battering of road traffic and since the
stability of the whole good roads
movement depends as much on main
tenance as on correct construction, it
is little wonder that in this era of
highway improvement in Michigan
the legislature sees fit to give such
sweeping authority to the state high
way commissioner to see that state
reward roads are kept in repair.

The Increased Bergen Budget.

The budget announcement of the
Board of Freeholders for the coming
year is almost staggering. The
amount of money they have laid out
to spend the coming year reaches in
round figures almost 100000, very
close to the million dollar mark. This
is an increase of almost $1,000 over
last year, and means, of course, an
other raise in taxes.
Bergen county has no license what
ever to spend the tremendous sums
that annually go into roadways, for
one thing. Under the system now in
vogue, any old price goes on a road
contract. Senator Hennessy has
preached about the system time and
again, and stated that the $4,000 or
more per mile spent for roads in Ber-
gen cost only $4,000 per mile in
other counties. If this be ture; if
there be the slightest basis in fact
for the charge, there should be some
one in the county with enough back
bone to settle upon process by which
the truth of Bergen finances and un-
reasonable contracts are made at the
expense of the county.

July Weather.

The official weather summary for
July reveals some interesting points
The highest temperature was on
the 31st when the mercury climbed
to 80 degrees, and was lowest on the
9th at SO degrees
The average daily deficiency for
the month was only one degree, COM
pared with normal. There were so
many cool days in July that most peo-
pie thought it unusual Whenever it
felt hot, the humidity was at fault,
yet there were only six days in July
above IS degrees. There were fifteen
days in July when the daily maximum
was only rs degrees or lower, and 10

Street Signs for PuIisade.

One of the most important things
needed for Palisade is street signs.
At the present time we have nothing
to indicate the names of any of our
roadways, and this is an important
matter which should be taken up by
the borough In this connection it
would be we'll to state that the Bor-
ough of Palisades Park has recently
put up street signs at every inter-
section of streets and they have
proven of great value. They are in
expensive and very attractive In the
earlier days of Palisade, the promot-
ing company which founded the vii
lige, put up wooden street signs but
they did not last long, and have now
completely disappeared. The Pail
sades Park street signs consist of a
signboard fixed on a gas pipe column,
in two sections of two and three
inches each with aluminium letters
bearing the street names on cross
arms in two directions.

Average Motion Pictures.

Motion pictures have lost their
novelty like the telephone and phono-
graph and have become an everyday
occurrence, so that the public is no
longer "movie mad" The public has
settled down and still enjoys photo
plays, but the enthusiasm of the first
impression made by motion pictures
is lacking, the glamour has worn off
and people are becoming OFFICIALLY
educated to such an extent that they
are critical. No longer are they sat
isfied with the simple and almost
childish one-reel drama of a few
years ago; they demand something
more complicated in plot and free
from the hacknied ways of conveying
an idea as used by the producers of
old films, and to a great extent by
the makers of films today.
Of course, the evolution of motion
pictures has been of supreme moment
in their manufacture. Like the art
of stagecraft, stage effect is as es-
sential in producing motion drama
as in a powerful drama of the accept
ed school where the parts are spoken.
Electricity and lighting are as eff
fective in motion plays as in the real
article. The public has had it's taste
to develope as the motion picture has
gone along. The movie of two years
ago would be scorned today. And
while the novelty has passed, the in
terest has intensified. Today the mo-
ton picture connoisseur is as preva-
lent as the art connoisseur. The in
different motion picture has its gal
lery the same as the stage, and the
gallery applauds or sneers as merit
appeals or repels.
And there are as many sides to the
drama of the movies as in the drama
of the stage. Tears OF laughter are
evolved in the same way, except that
more is left to the imagination in
the motion picture drama. And one
wonders if impressions left by an
emotional movie are not as lasting as
any. The entire moving picture bust
ness has become a revolution in Gus
tom. 1t has changed the habits of
people, and its effect cannot be said
to be other than interesting as di-
version, to say the least.

SATURDAY, AUGUST Ia, 1915
The Kind of Men Wanted.

The coming election in the borough
of Fort Lee is liable to be an exceed
ingly warm one. So far, the talk
of the proper candidates for the Of
flee of mayor has concentrated on the
present incumbent, Edward A. White.
The Democrats feel pretty sure that
with Mr.. White conserving to again
serve the party, he would sweep
everything before him. His admins
tration has undertaken many public
improvements not yet concluded, and
the argument is that he should re-
main where he is until everything
is completed. This would not be con-
sidered poor policy as rule, provided
all things else were equal.
And this is where the shoe pinches.
There is an element now created IN
the borough that is dead set against
so much in the way of Improvement
in the face of hard times. They claim
that when Mayor White went into Of
flee he was going to see to 1T that
taxes would go no higher. Whether
he spoke by the card or not, makes
no differnce now in the face OF the
fact that taxes have jumped under
his administration almost sky high.
AS between the borough and the
county the taxpayer is between two
fires, and escape seems impossible.
Road improvements and Freebooter
expenditures have pushed the county
rate up, and educational necessities
and the discovery of old, unpaid back
interest on bonds, made the borough
taxes, also, take bound. So which
ever way the cat jumped it was taxes
here, higher taxes over yonder, and
superlative taxes in the distance COM
ing on. The outlook is really poor for
relief There isn't any in sight.
1t is for these reasons that feel
ing of dissension has arisen, not so
much against Mr. White as against
his inability to stem the tide of high
taxation Most people are earning
less money, and when high tax bill
is Haunted, the average man wants
to throw up his hands and quit. For
this reason the man who scents
channel through which he can choke
off the high tax bugaboo, is going
to be looked upon as sort of Moses
at this time. Maybe he cannot be
found. But if he can he should have
easy picking if he could deliver

MauOr White Consents.

The final decision of Mayor White
to again become the Democratic can
didate for Mayor Of Fort Lee is no
more than was expected. He was
merely coquetting, no doubt.
But speaking seriously, no man
really wants the office of Mayor of
New Jersey borough who isn't will
ing to walk up to the block, lay his
head down and wait for the axe. 1t
is the most thankless task within
the gift of the people. With no
salary attached, it brings in no profit,
and its only compensation is within
ones conscience with duty well per-
formed. An honorary post of this
kind brings more care than emolu-
ments.
At the same time, there is a certain
amountof satisfaction in giving serv-
ice for ones friends and neighbors.
With an absolutely impartial hand in
guiding the little craft, the upright
Mayor may direct it's course clear of
rocks and unsafe waters.
So, in community like Fort Lee,
or rather in the several communities
that combine to make the whole, that
mayor is, the right kind who is i'm
partial. Politics should weigh the
least. The man should be above the
party, and the office should not serve
party ends.
On this latter platform, the voters
should support the man who, having
the ability, is willing to say, 81 am
for the whole people above any
