Less than 20 years ago II was thought
that sweet potatoes grown III New Jer-
sey were watery WORTHLESS specimen
of so called product. Ali through the
counties Of Salem, Cumberland, Allan
tic and Gloucester, where scrub pine
and cedar used to hold sway, has now
been cleared to large extent and is oc-
cupied by the growers of the best sweet
potato in the world This has not all
been brought about by nature alone, but
a growing knowledge of culture and %
liberal use Of large quantities of special
ly prepared fertilizer adapted to produce
size and shape and that rich golden color
so much sought after by the consumer.
The skill and success that has been &C
quired in this section is phenomenal
The main shipping stations are Vine
land, Seedsboro, Bridgeton Rosenhayn,
Main Avenue, Wheat Road, Maurice
town-although Vineland is far in the
lead Of them all and Will alone handle
fully half of the crop between October
last and the middle Of May next. They
are handled mostly by agents and not
dumped ON the market at the time Of
harvesting, but kept in drying rooms
made for the purpose, with fires burning
night and day, keeping the houses of
storage at an even temperature. From
1000 to 1000 bushels are shipped
daily, as the market requires This is
kept up from early fall until late spring
Two trains leave this section every after
noon for New York and Brook Ign alone,
arriving at Jersey City about midnight,
where scores of market trucks are in
waiting to carry them over the Hudson
to the market long before light. In the
short space of 10 hours they are taken
from the kilns, shipped, delivered in the
city, sold to the consumer and ready for
the table.

Sailing Butter.

BY all means salt in the churn. Grind
ing salt into the butter on the worker is
a thing OF the past, and is not practced
by any of the first creamery and home
dairy butter makers. 1t Injuries the grain
and is more apt to leave the butter mot
tied. One has to estimate the amount of
butter color; and why not use the same
rule in determining the amount OF salt to
use.
After the butter is washed let the water
drain out of the churn while the required
amount of salt is being weighed out
Then sprinkle the salt evenly over the
butter in the churn, close the lid and
turn the churn slowly for a minute or
two then let stand in the churn long
enough for the salt to dissolve. If lev
er is used be careful not to give the lever
a sliding motion, but press gently until
the butter has a waxy texture.
In packing be careful not to lamp the
butter in the churn, close the lid and
turn. Do not leave any open spaces in
the package. Level off the upper surface
with a wooden straght-edge and cover
with parchment of cloth circle. Wipe
the sides and bottom of the package with
a towel, so that it will have a neat appear

The Future of Sheep.

Il is remarkable to note the unanimty
of opinion as to the futures bright pros
poets of the sheep and wool industry as
expressed by the most able breeders ard
writers in the land All of these men,
While fully acknowledging the depressed
conditions Of the past, are hrm IN the
conviction that The future holds bright
things in store for al those who have had
TIE hard.hood 10 hold on to their tioeks.
THIS VOC VII ind that the closing clause
Of nearlp every well written article on an
branch OF this business contains well
written pea for the holding and improy-
ns OF the lock. These things accord
entirely With our views of the matter, and
Ne much gret 70 note a more or less
determined inclination to desert the busi-
ness and oIoSe out the ilooks The gov
eminent report points with force to the
TACT that the year shows shortage OF
{, coo, ooo sheep in the iocks OF the eoun-
try by comparison With the previous year,
and Judging from the receipts OF sheep
and lambs at this point, the end IS not
yet. 10 you not see that this ruthless
selling will deplete the tiocks to the ex-
tent of increasing prices very materially
in the near future What will it profit
you if when prices are again high you
have no sheep to sell? Don't you see
that restored tariff will greatly increase
the price of wool, and that if you dispose
of your sheep now you will have no wool
to sell when that good time arrives, as
it surely will: Have not your experience
and observation told YOU that you will
want to 90 into the business again as soon
as it shows its old. time profit, and that
you will then find it both difficult and
expensive to get together a flock that will
please your fancy? Then pocket your

citizen came into a grocery store, We'd

said he, lis possessed of a fever for bar

breakfast. lifted it, bowed to my wife,

is to be remembered when 10. the handle
slid off that cup; the contents went down

over the cloth. My wife uttered an ex-
clamation and | looked at the cup Then
| recognized it. 1t was an old one and |
subsequently learned that Mrs. B. had

During the many years in which the
writer has been engaged in the practice
of veterinary medicine there is nothing
that has been more forcibly brought to
his attention than the indifference of
most people to the condition of the
horses mouth. They seem to think the
mouth never becomes deranged, when,
in fact, it is one of the most sensitive
organs Of the equine economy. All
young horses coming three or four years
old should have their teeth and mouth
carefully examined when any symptoms
of tenderness are shown in the mouth,
as it is at this age that some of the milk
molars are replaced by the permanent
ones. In some cases the crown of the
former is only partially displaced, and
gives rise to much pain and annoyance.
| have seen a young horse that had It's
throat blistered with iniment and was
treated for distemper, when the trouble
was due to a misplaced crown of a milk
molar, which, upon removal, gave instant
relief. Again, in some horses the struc
ture of the teeth is of a comparatively
soft nature, and wears rapidly on the
grinding substances in ragged and I'M
even manner, which severely cut and
lacerate the tongue and cheeks. This
defect may be easily remeded by the use
of the mouth rasp, an instrument that
may now be found in nearly all hardware
stores. To heal the raw surfaces little
alum and boiax dissolved in water will
act effectually. This humane method, if
pursued by people who own horses, will
prevent much suffering to the horse and
at the same time amply repay the owner
in the improved appearance of his animal,
and in many cases prevent the loss of
much food by pudding and soldering.
