COUNTY AUDIT
BY DEMOCRATS
Chairman Hayes Makes Pub
lie Letter That Was Sent to
Board of FreeholderS
ACCOUNTS QUESTIONED
Due to Fact They are Not Pub
Iished in Both Sections of
County
ACCOUNTS QUESTIONED

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. H.
The issuance of a letter today by
Edmund A. Hayes, Democratic coun-
ty chairman, a copy of communi-
cation recently sent to the Board of
Freeholders, brings out that an au-
dit is being made of the affairs of
the freeholder's office.
The letter follows:
oct. II, 1928.
Board of Freeholders,
"Middlesex county,
New Brunswick, n. j.
Gentlemen:
"Some of the remarks made by
your treasurer, assistant treasurer
et5., to the auditor that | had go
over some of your records yesterday,
were reported to me and / want to
take this opportunity of saying to
you that as long as l am in charge
of the Democratic campaign in this
county. there will be no 'mudsling-
ing! as l believe your employees
termed it. There will, however, be
such publicity given to such action
of members of your board, or any
other public official, as the people
of the county are entitled to know
about. In this way neither your
board nor any other person having
a public office can have cause for
action.
''The people of this county as you
must admit, are not afforded the OPP
portunity of inspecting your month
ly reports. because of the policy
adopted py you of printing one re-
port in the New Brunswick paper
and the report for the following
month in the Perth Amboy paper.
This was partly the reason for the
examination started yesterday.
AS you have undoubtedly suspect
ed. one of the things that L want
to submit to the people of the
county. is the matter of the eX-
penditure of money on roads. You
can assist me in this regard If you
will furnish me with a list of the
roads upon which work was done,
either by way of construction, pre-
pairing, repairing, graveling ETC..
upon which state aid was not re-
eeived. [ have the total amounts
expended upon the roads on which
you received state aid and if you
will give me the names of, such roads
upon which no state aid was re-
ceived and the amounts expended
thereon. together with the name of
the contractor doing the work, l
will then be prepared to make my
statement.
"Y ours truly,
"E. A. Hayes. Chairman"
The freeholders failed to reply to
the letter and the publication was
decided upon.

E. Fl. Tobey has sold the home farm
to H. A. Wing of Phillips, who has
moved in. Mr.. Tobey recently pur-
chased a place in Norridgewock viii
lage where he now resides. This
farm has been in the Tobey name
since 1874 when Edward w, father
of E. H.. purchased of Asa Clark part
of the farm and later the remainder

YOUNG STOCK NEED CARE ON
PASTURE
Grass Should Have Good Start Be-
fore Calves are Turned Out
Grain Mixture Suggested

In raising heifer calves, the dairy
man should seek to keep them grow
ing constantly. A set back or slump
in growth is costly and difficult to
overcome, the state agricultural col
iege at Ithaca has found.
Many good calves have been we'll
fed and we'll grown until weaned, and
then when turned out to pasture, have
been neglected and stunted. Often
this stunning is permanent, and I'M
dersized COWS result.
1t Is usually better not to turn
calves out to pasture until after they
are weaned, as it is much easier to
iced and care for them in the barn.
Some farmers never pasture calves
born after January 1, during the first
summer. BY this means they avoid
heat and flies, which keep young
calves from growing in summer.
Any pasture intended for calves
should not be used until after the
grass has good start. The pas
ture should have plenty of water and
plenty of shade. If possible, it
should be located near the barn in
order to make it convenient to watch
over the calves, provide salt and give
feed. They should have some grain
at least one a day, if normal growth
is expected.
GOOD GRAIN MIXTURE
In most cases about two pounds
is enough for each calf The fol-
lowing mixture is recommended
800 pounds corn meal, hominy feed
or ground barley, 800 pounds ground
oats, 800 pounds wheat bran.
One hundred pounds of linseed oil
meal may be added to this with good
results, and it is advisable to do SC
during later summer, when hot wea.
ther has dried up the pasture and re.
duced the protein content of the grass
After the calves reach an age OF
nine to ten months, grain feeding de.
Ponds entirely upon the condition o.
the pasture. If it is plentiful, grass
and succulent, good growth can be
obtained without grain. But if 1t Is
short and dried up, it should be sup.
plemented by the concentrate feeds
