The people of Jersey City, Hoboken and the

rapid transit, but cheap fares. The Real Estate
Association nave appointed committee, headed
by II. A. De Motto, to wait upon the horse car and
Terry companies in reference to the reduction OF
fares The committee are also directed to wait
upon the Long Dock Horse Railroad Company for
the purpose of having their railroad extended on
Summit avenue to Paterson avenue. public

noting the interests OF property owners in the
county. The meeting will be addressed by promi-

The Boulevard Commissioners made tour last
week along the proposed line OF the Grand avenue
zen Park, on Union Hill There seems to be no
doubt whatever that the Boulevard Will be located
along the line Of Grand avenue, in Jersey City, as
Hoboken. Whether 1t should be continued in a
straight line or dverge to the right from this point
is disputed question. The line OF Grand
avenue commands a most delightful view or the
valley OF the Hackensack, and no more desirable
races. ON the south the city OF Newark looms sni

IL seems that the garbage Of New York is no

Objectionable, however, to the residents east Of

The Poisoning Case and It's Causes.
WASHINGTON MARKET, May 20, 1873.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Seeing that IN the extraordinary case OF poison
ing at Mr. Blatcnford's Fourteenth street, poisoned
meat has been spoken Of as the cause, beg,
as butcher or dealer in meats In Washington
Market for twenty years, to state some facts re-
gardlng diseased meat that have come under my
observ alton, which may be suggestive In this
and prove useful to the public do not pretend
TO speak authoritatively on the poisoning case
referred to, but simply to say that sometimes
have had occasion, as Clerk OF the Mar
ket, TO condemn diseased meat, which, If
used, might have produced serious efects
Such meat as ! have condemned or would con-
denim, may enter other markets, be sold, used
by our citizens and prove injurious or dangerous.
For example Case beef or mutton, which Is I'M
derstood in the business as the meat or animals
that have died and have not been slaughtered,
comes some times TO the markets, and, II not de-
tected when coming, will ind It's way to small mar
kets and grocery stores throughout the city, and
may prove the fruitful source Of disease to those
who purchase and use 1t, and no doubt great deal
OF meat comes in this way into the hands OF those
who do not know what they are selling. or course
matter OF selling diseased meat. have frequently
seized and condemned diseased meat that comes to
market and on one occasion during last Winter
with the aid OF the sanitary police, seized about
two thousand pounds OF such stun, not ut for hui
man food and on another occasion four hundred
pounds Of poultry. might mention many other
like seizures. While, therefore, the use OF such
diseased meat may not have produced the arseni-
cal effects alleged IN the poisoning case referred to-
may be produced by It, Would 1t not be well, then,
to inquire particularly into the condition OF the
dent at any rate, that strict supervision the
markets Is necessary. and that the public ought 10
be careful whore they buy and OF whom they buy.

that they most beneficially prepare the
soil for grain crops, allow the number
of stock to be increased, aid conse-
quently greater supply of farm-yard
manure to be produced Then such
green crops are less expensive to cult
vate than roots, and permit of more
land to be devoted to other produce
Hitherto it was necessary to consume
green fodder at once; now it can be
magazined in fresh state, without any
preliminary drying, and in a manner
that dispenses with out-offices and kin
dred harvesting. Besides, in the case
of COLA, such plants may be cultivated
as an intercalary or stolen crop. A
trench, in dry and unexposed situa-
ton, one hundred and ten yards long,
two and one-half deep, and two wide,
will suffice for three hundred tons of
green maize, which must be covered
with coating one yard thick of EARTH
roof-form, taking care to exclude all
connection with the open air. Many
persons mix hay, chopped straw, COLA
husks, &c, between the layers of green
maize or rye. The propriety of allow
ing the cut fodder twenty-four hours or
so to dry, before being buried, is still
matter for Observation-Disclosures.

Our Revised Fruit List.
from tie Gernantotrn Ielearaph.

From tile Germantown Telegraph.
Since the last publication of our
Fruit-List, we have for satisfactory rea-
sons changed our opinion with respect
to few of the fruits which it contained.
But in regard to the list as whole we
can see no just grounds for disturbing
it. Indeed we do not see how it could
be improved for this section of country ;
or as a general list for all the Middle
States. Some of each of the separate
selections may not do well upon one
premises that will succeed admirably in
another. Each one must find out for
himself the particular apples and pears
especially adapted to his soil and loca-
ton.
According to our present preference
we should select the following for our
own planting:

1t is better that those who intend to
cultivate fruit and have to make pur-
chases, should take this list with them
to the nursery, and adhere to it as far
as possible.
The amateur, or those who want only
a few varieties, will find the above list
entirely reliable, and hence cannot go
wrong by adopting it.
Trees of all kinds can be trans
planted in autumn as soon as they are
done growing, indicated by the change
in the leaf, up to hard freezing. The
earlier this is attended to, especially
with large trees, the more certainly are
they to grow. By transplanting early
the roots have time before the season
closes of settling well in their new
homes, and taking a good hold, which
will sustain them through the winter,
prepared to take an earl y start in the
spring.

Good Fodder for Winter.

The question of preserving green
fodder in trenches for winter consump-
ton is assuming serious proportions in
this country. Up to the present, green
food served only for the support of cat
tie pending the Summer and early
Autumn. 1t is quite clear that maize,
beet leaves, rape in flower, rye grass, in
fact all forage plants with comparative
ly thick stems, can be conserved very
well in trenches, and become thus a
most useful adjunct to winter feeding;
