NEW JERSEY FARMERS.
Points Culled from Their Recent
Protest in the Shape Of a
Memorial.

The cry OF distress is so great in New
Jersey that Governor Albeit suggested
last January a joint committee of the
legislature and some we'll informed
agriculturists selected committee, and
the legislature appointed another.
These had several meetings with the
governor. Questions were sent out and
many answers returned. The committee
sent memorial to congress. They
said:
Demonstration of silver-not
enough money for the business needs of
the country in circulation among the
people.
Greater favors given for booming
business than are extended to the pro-
ducing classes.
Substituting the great railroad cor.
pora'ions with grants of public lands,
which lands are offered in foreign
countries at low prices, and the un,
warranted inducements thrown out to
foreign immigrants to occupy and
homestead said lands, causing an over
production of agricultural crops This,
with the low freight rates to the sea-
board granted by the trunk line roads,
has reduced our eastern farming to a
well nigh proftless condition, although
we have the markets at our door.
No American vessels to transport
our products to other countries.
Immence shipments of western beef
to our market by western beef and cattle
kings. The failure Of the interstate
commerce law to afford relief to our
farmers. The complaint is neafl ! un-
animous that the railroads charge on
the produce of this state altogether out
Of proportion to charges On the same
articles from hundreds, and even a
thousand miles, distant to the same
markets. This of conrse puts all
articles thus Disseminated against in
this state nearly, if not quite, beyond
profitable production.
Gambling in the necessaries of life,
trusts and bank monopoly, receive their
reprobation. They do not wish govern.
ment money spent to irrigate desert
lands when there is so much good land
unused in the east, and such tendency
exists to give away the public domain
to corporations and foreign syndicatcs.
This has gone SO far that "tbe children
and grandchildren of the men and
women who gave their lives and property
during the war to save the country are,
or soon will be, deprived of any share
in that domain at government prices.
We ask that congress turn their atten,
tion for a while to the east and aid in
developing and filling up this section
of our common country, and when this
will hold on more. our chiidren-the
overflow from America instead of from
Europe-will have some virgin land
left to homestead and settle upon.'

Now Plant Your Celery.

Those who have not yet done so,
should not delay the planting of their
celery, particularly the main crop.
From the middle Of July to the middle
Of August is the time the market men
get in their immense crops. If it is a
fact thst celery acts favorably on the
nervous system, and is cure for rheu
matism, these are both ills that appar-
emily are on the increase, or at last that
one often now hears of, even among the
youth, to say nothing of old age. At
any rate, the taste for the vegetable is
increasing year by year.
Orchard and Garden gives the fol-
lowing as method of growing, that
was practlced years ago by the writer,
in growing quantities where land was
an object, that with care may be made
to grow fair quality sticks, and that may
be easily protected in winter. Where
grown for first class exhibition celery,
sinle rows are best, so that just before
earthing the first time, any sucker
growth or mal.formed leaves can be
pulled from each stalk. Care is also
necessary that the earth does not get
to the heart or young growing leaves,
all of which little care by the work
men easily obviates.
GROWING CELERY IN BEDS.
In this method we set the plants in
beds on the surface. the rows running
crosswise the bed one loot apart, with
the plants set six inches from each
other, eleven in row. The earthing
is done by having two light boards
with the ends drawn out into handles
eighteen inches longer than the rows
on each side. These are set on edge
between the rows of plants, and kept
nearly so by sticks stuck in the soil. A
workman stands on either side and

Useful Recipes.

Tomato SALAD-Six tomatoes, the

the old Pohick church and other places
where he occasionally resOrted. While

has traced it back clearly and unmis-

and it was long considered that they
were Of Norman stock. Quite recently
however, an English historian has
claimed u Saxon origin for them, and
traced them to the Wacsingas, a small
band Of the Saxon invaders. or this it
can only be said at present that it is not
proven. From both sides Washington
inherited the best of qualities-a love of
truth, personal courage and strength,
gteadiness of purpose and conscientious
devotion TO duty. His mother neglected
no opportunity to strengthen his truth
fnlness, and the circumstances Of his
early life made him an athlete.
