STATE TREASURY ISJURDENED New Jersey Pays One-Fourth of Wages of Law-Required Trainmen. Trenton, April 18. It develops that the State of New Jersey Is paying one-fourth of the cost of the unnecessary trainmen employed by the railroads ot the 8tate to comply with the Full Crew — excess man crew — I .aw. Nothing that has been urged in support of the proposition for repeal of ] this law, with power given to the' - Public Utility Commissioners' to determine as to the proper manning of trains, is carrying greater weight with State officials ' and members of the 1 Legislature than this fact, brought out > by William D. Edwards, of counsel for 1 the Associated Railroads. , Action by the legislature enacting into law the bill now held in the Railroads and Canals Committee of ' the House would result in Increasing ' the revenue of the State of New Jer- 1 eey by the amount now lost to It In 1 taxes through the Full Crew Law. , This Is about $93,000 a year. The way this results is as follows: Under the Hansell formula used by ' the State Board of Assessors In de- ' terminlng the franchise value of rail- : roads, which Is subject to a State tax I of 2 per cenL, the net revenue of the , railroads is capitalized on a basis of , 8 per cent, to give the franchise value. Such net revenue is the operating 1 profit of the railroads after deduction 1 of all expenses for operation and 1 maintenance, including wages and taxes. , Last year the wages paid to the ( men forced upon the railroads by this law amounted to $371,126, and to that extent redtfeed the net revenues of ' the railroads. This, capitalized at 8 1 per cent, for the purpose of taxation, i would be about $4,650,000. The 2 per , cent franchise tax on that amount would give the State Treasury about $93,000.

CONSUMPTION TAKES 350 PEOPLE DAILY Over 350 people succumb to consumption every day in the United States. Science proves that the germs only thrive when the system is weakened from colds or sickness, overwork, confining duties or when general weakness exists. The best physicians point out that during changing seasons the blood should be made rich and pore and active by taking Scott "a Emulsion after meals. The cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warms the body by enriching the blood ; it peculiarly strengthens the lungs and throat, while it upbuilds the resistive forces of the body to avoid colds and consumption. If yon work indoors, tire easily, feel languid or nervous, Scott's Emulsion is the most strengtheningfood-medidne known. It is totally free from alcohol or any stupefying drag. Avoid substitutes. 14-42 Scott ft Bowne. Bloomfiekl. M. J. DEMONSTRATION NOTES — THE RESULT OK DEEPER PLOWING In covering the county the writer's attention has been called to the great variation in depths of plowing and to the fact that many plow to a depth not exceeding three or four inches. Some say •'The deeper the plow the deeper our soil dries out," as a matter of fact the case is entirely the reverse and by deeper plowing and cultivating prevent the escape of much moisture due to evaporation. Make a practice of plowing a little deeper each year, turn up an inch of sub-soil thereby Increasing the depth of your soil and obtaining one that will hold water better through a continued spell of dry weather. The more dry weather we get the more we should cultivate, thereby conserving much moisture and we surely need to save all that we possibly can. » It is clearly shown ' throughout the country that the man who plowed deep cultivated frequently through the dry weather and .conserved more moisture is the man who is proud of his cover crops. On the other hand where shallow plowand little cultivation was practiced the soil dried out badly and there was scarcely enough moisture left in the soil to germinate the seeds. We all know that last season was a very hard one on cover crops but a whole lot can be done in securing better cover crops if we will practice more r intelligent methods of conserving soil moisture. Don't plow until you are , nearly ready to do your planting unless you intend to cultivate frequently - 1 up to the time you are ready to put . your crops in the ground. Get started right and it will be easier to keep on the right path throughout our farming operations the entire seaGEORGE B. THRASHER.
