A New Jersey Pound Master. 
W JJ> you tell me something about the 
compensation of a pound master 
in New Jersey? Who pays him 
and what is a fair charge for keeping 
straying live stock in the pound? 
New Jersey. L. c. M. 
I communicated with the Attorney- 
General at Trenton, and submit a copy 
of his reply. While this does not state 
appropriate charges or fees, it fixes such 
responsibility with the township com¬ 
mittee. 
I have examined the Township Act of 
1899, which is still in force in this State, 
and which is to be found in the Session 
Laws of that year, on page 372. The 
same act will likewise be found in the 
Compiled Statutes of New Jersey. Sec. 
4 of the act provides for certain elec¬ 
tive officers, among whom are “so many 
pound-keepers as shall be deemed ne¬ 
cessary.” Sec. 32 provides that the 
township committee shall have power to 
make, amend or repeal ordinances for the 
several purposes therein named, one of 
which is to fix the annual salary or com¬ 
pensation to be paid to each person 
elected or appointed to any township 
office, except members of the township 
committee, and the manner of the pay¬ 
ment thereof. This section provides that 
the salary of compensation when fixed 
by ordinance, shall be in lieu of the fees 
or compensation otherwise provided by 
law, and that the said fee or compen¬ 
sation shall be collected into the treas¬ 
ury of the township for its use. Under 
the circumstances, it is clear that the 
pound-keeper is an elective officer, and 
that his compensation is to be fixed by 
the township committee, under Sec. 32, 
which compensation shall be in lieu of 
all fees provided by law. 
Ordinarily when live stock is running 
at large and trespassing, and is taken 
up by the authorities, the following 
charges would be reasonable: For horses, 
75 cents per day, or .$18 per month ; for 
cattle, meaning mature animals, 50

addition to such maintenance charges, it 
would be appropriate to charge the own¬

trespassing, this should be appropriately 
provided for under separate charged of 
damage. f. c. m.

How Butter Making Pays. 
4 4TT pays me better to make butter, 
X than to take my milk to Borden,” 
is the opinion of William Winnie 
of Otsego County. “It is two miles to 
the station, and I took my milk there for 
two years from my dairy. I became j 
tired of making the trip, it divides the 
day, and interferes with a systematic pro¬ 
gram in farm work. Now I separate my 
milk at the barn, we churn in the house, 
in the Summer in the cellar. We keep j 
everything in good order, and would have 
nothing to fear from inspection should 
we go back to Borden’s, but we would 
lose to go back. I am now able to raise 
hogs and calves on the skim-milk, I re¬ 
ceive about as much from my herd by 
making butter, the work of making butter 
is no greater than the monotonous trip 
morning after morning to town. I have 
skim-milk which I consider worth $10 the 
cow the year for feeding on the farm. I 
milk from 12 to 20 cows, and the value 
of this skim-milk in dollars and cents 
looks go >d to me. I have local demand 
for part of my butter, part goes to Bing¬ 
hamton, and I receive 33 cents the pound. 
My herd consists of Guernseys and Jer¬ 
seys. There are many farmers who 
could profitably do as I am doing, and 
there would be more dollars in dairying. 
I would say measure up to milk inspec¬ 
tion, add a few more dollais in the equip¬ 
ment, then produce butter, it will pay.” 
w. J. 
T HE Nebraska Experiment Station, in 
experiments on cost production of 
baby beef, shows that Alfalfa, silage 
and corn produced the fastest and most 
economical gains, giving the most profit 
the calf. It showed that silage had a 
much higher value when fed in rations in 
connection with Alfalfa than without. 
The ration of Alfalfa, prairie hay and 
corn was second in economy. Two ra¬ 
tions containing Alfalfa gave much bet¬ 
ter results than any ration not containing 
Alfalfa. The profit the calf from the 
lot fed Alfalfa, corn and silage ; mounted 
to $22.21 the calf, while the next ration 
in economy netted a profit of $20.28. The 
lowest in profit was from prairie hay, 
silage and corn, with profit of only 
$11.77. 
Bulletin No. 242 of the Wisconsin Ex¬ 
periment Station is an excellent discus¬ 
sion of pork production in Wisconsin. 
In 35 pages it gives a very good state¬ 
ment ol the important things in keeping 
hogs. There are pictures showing the 
kind of hog to raise, the best way to 
house them, fences, and the other impor¬ 
tant things which a farmer will need to 
know about. There is a discussion of j 
feeding, which is very useful; in fact, the 
entire bulletin is just what hog breeders i 
want to know, as judged by the questions I 
which constantly are sent to us. We 
should think this bulletin would be of 
very great interest to all who keep hogs.

The Jersey 
The State Dairy In¬ 
structor of the State of 
Maine recently said: 
“One of the mysteri¬ 
ous things about the 
dairy business is that a 
man can conduct a dairy all his life, 
losing money, and yet make a living. 
But why run the dairy at a loss or to "make 
a living”? Why not make money ? 
By discarding “scrubs” and boarders and 
keeping the profitable Jersey the dairy 
farmer can do much better than merely 
make a living. Think it over. If you want 
to know what keeping Jerseys means, we 
have a good free book for you.
