FROSTED COMBS During these snappy, cold winter nights poultry., keepers should be on their guard to prevent frost- , t ed combs, especially if they are £ breeders of birds with large combs, | so eh as the Leghorns and Manors' oaa. Naturally a bird's comb will J I be slow to freeze, if that bird is in* ] I good health, for it is full of blood. , The cambs can withstand a low de- i • gree of temperature, if that cold : is dry and still. When, however, the air is moving, as in a draught, 1 or when it ia heavily laden with i moisture, there will be danger from ; frosted combs. i The greater part of the trouble J of this kind each year is due to i these two things. I The lesBon is that the poultry { man should have a house free from ' draughts and yet well ventilated, j The properly ventilated house does r

not permit of the accumulation of foul air in the house, but always insures an abundance of pure, fresh air. Birds should be forced to exercise vigorously during the day. for in that way they keep np •lie body heSt and fit themselves for the long, cold nights. On stormy nights the muslin curtains should be closed, not only to prevent the litter from becoming wet, but to, protect the birds from the •old vet blasts. The affect of frosted or frozen ' wombs was noticed many times and itn many places last season. Much of the low fertility, especially in the early hatching eggs, was traced to this titrable. The males, particularly S. C. Leghorns, suffered severely from frosted combs. These undoubtedly caused severe pain, which meant that the male binds did not fertilize the eggs but remained inactive in the coops. Much difficulty from this source can lie obviated during the coming Spring if the simple suggestions above be ' heeded iij time. This is surely a i ease wherein "an ounce of preven- ' tion is worth a pound of cure." '

FOREST NOTES Lodgepole pine, one of the principal trees of the, Rocky Mounl tains, makes good strong wrapping X paper and pulp board. Osage orange wood is a source of d^e and can be used to supplement the imported fnstic wood, as a permanent yellow for textiles. News print paper has been made by the forest sen-ice laboratory from 24 different woods, and a c number compare favorably with . standard spruce pulp paper. The forest sen-ice is co-ope rating with 54 railroads, raining companies. pole companies, and cities ■ in making testa of wooden ties. . timbers poles, piling," and paving blocks which have been given preservative treatments. Recent sales by the government totaling 126,000,000 feet of sawtimber in the Olympic national forest, in western Washington, mark the opening of this hitherto inaccessible- storehouse of timber, estimated to contain a stand of 33 billion board feet.

DANGER IN DELAY Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for Cspe Msy Court House People to Neglect The great danger of kidney troubles is that they so often get a firm hold before , the sufferer recc^prizes them. HealU^ will be gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy gravel and Bright's disease often follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills, which are so strongly recommended right ! here in this locality. Stanley Benstead, 801 Queen Street. Cape May. X. J- says: "For twenty suffered from kidney trouble. After doing a hard day's work, my hack ached severely. When T got np in the morning. T felt lame and sore. I l became tired easily, felt dull and languid and at times was bothered by a hlnrring of my s'»ht. The kidney aecre'v.ns contained sediment and I was obliged to get up many times during the night on account of their frequency in passage. Doan's Kidney Pills re- , lieved me in a short time.

It proposes to reduce the ■alary of the governor from $10,000 to The governor is to retain $500 1 year for acting on the state house i: commission, this now being added to his h . »■■■■> wing aoaea to ais

e salary, making its total $10,500 -a yeax. '• The chief justice's salary is cut from • 1 413.000 to $9,000 but he gets one thouspjand more for sitting in the court of er- •• rors.

He said that the mtroduetlon of the bill was only after mature re- v

flection. He believed the time had now •rrivud when this could be done in this state and yet not let murderers go un- ! punished. • Senator Hutchinson also pot i^ the measure which will allow the dty of Trenton to enter into the agreement e with the Pennsylvania railroad for a . flume in the canal feeder to a point . over that part of the waterway as a e park, or for developing into a street. ^ The measure provides for abandoning „ navigation on that part of the canal, p Mr. Hammond presented a bill regn- . lating the practice of dregless tberepeue tics.

Mr. Pancoast said that he would get the 1 ' information from former Senator Wood r McKee in the morning and then his comr mittee would bejible to announce when it would hold the first public hearing. ^ Mr". McKee was cousel for former Sen- ^ , wjor Prince, who contested the congres- ( sional scat with Archibald Hart, in the 1 , Sixth district, and it was in this recount that it was discovered that there * ; were 000 invalid Democratic ballots in 1 ; Bergen, enough to unseat the three as- , semblvmen now holding down the seats, 8 in the opinion of the Republicans seeking to unseht them. i ^ Governor Fielder sent to the senate the following appointments: Supreme Court Justice James F. Minturn, of ' Hudson, reappointed; Circuit Court * ' Judge William H. Speer, of Jersey City, ^ reappointed; District Judges Charles B. 1 Clancy, of East Orange, Essex county, ' succeeding Worrall M.

Cumberland county, to siirceed 1 1 George Hampton, resigned. The names! of Justice Minturn and Mr. Moore were ; ' confirmed by the senate. Assemblyman Pancoast, of Camden, j1 ■sustained his reputation ns a humorist j during the evening by inserting the fol- ! lowing memorandum abstract of intcn- !l tion of his bill to make a married woman j the owner of her own rlnthes. He said: j bill affects every married woman j the State of New Jersey. It makes ! her the owner of her ornament* and j wearing apparel which have come to)' her from her husband and which she! thinks she now owns hilt doe* not own." j Atlantic county started in to settle'] the suit in the courtB begun by Recorder , to retain his office, by a measure j validating the election of the new re- ' eorder, the new treaaurer and the new 1 collector of Atlantic City. The bill 1 1 is made to only affect Atlantic CSty. j A Sharp Debate 1 1 When the senate concurrent resoln- 1 * tion providing for a joint conference to ' * the work of the senate and,'!

r the end that publications of bills he j m "topped and that employees not needed i g_ b>' dismisaed, gob before the house there ' was a sharp debate. In Mr. Hammond, of Mcrccr, explained ] ^ its puropse to be that more economy be | observed in paying the billa for the sea- ! I_ skm.

HOW 10 CURE H : CHRONIC^ COUGH ! Told In the Following Letter by a Jackson Man Who Knows from Experience. His Word Is Good. Jackson, Miss. — "I am a carpenter, and the grippe left me not only with a chronic cough, but I was run-down, worn out and weak. I took all kinds of cmigh syrups but they did me no good. I finally got so weak I was not able to do a day s work, and coughed so much I was alarmed about my condition. One evening I read about Vinol and decided to try it. Before I had taken a quarter f a bottle 1 fc. . better, and after taking two bottles my cough is entirely cubed, all the bad symptoms have disappeared and I have gained new vim and energy. " ; —John L. Dennis, 711 Lynch Street. Jackson, Miss. ^ The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because the active medicinal principles of cod liver oil contained Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues H supplies strength and vigor to the nerves and muscles while the tonic iron and wine assist the red corpuscles of the blood to absorb oxygen and distribute through the system, thus restoring health and strength to the weakened diseased organs of the body. If Vinol fails to help you, we return your money. Jnmes Mecrsy, Druggist,
