Emmor Roberts, successful fruit
grower, of Burlington county, was then
introduced and gave his experience in
growing fruit. The first requisite, he
said, was the right kind OF soil, and from
what he had seen of Salem county, he
thought our land would grow nice fruit.
There must be good dry solid subsoil,
either of clay, or gravel or moulding
sand. Next, suitable variety, that will
grow good tree, bear good-looking fruit
and sell well. There are such varieties,
and without these your labor is lost. 1t
is also essential to have the land mellow
and clean. He advocated thorough
cultivation of the soil, and pillow early in
the spring and keep stirring the ground
until the fruit ripens; late apples till
October. He then spoke of the enemies
of the fruit and advocated early spraying
as the most effective remedy. In speak
ing of the pear crop the Kieffer was CON-
sidered the most profitable pear grown 10
the fall, provided other varieties were
planted close by as fertilizers. A firm
soil was recommended for the successful
growth and production of plums,
although success had btea experienced
BY some few growers by raising the plum
in soft clay soil. Mr.. Roberts said
he propagated peaches at q profit, and
in twenty acre orchard the alleged
disease, "yellows," which had worked
such havoc among the fruits of some
growers was hardly noticeable. Ths
blight on fruit was thoroughly discussed
| aud thorough culture and tilling wal
advised as good remedy. Gas lime wal
/ also suggested as an effectual remedy fol
the ruinous blight on pear tress.

THE cow AND HER HOME

THE COW AND HER HOME.
This was the subject of q most interest
ing and anstructiye address byNsMr
Gould. He said the COW Is the only
animal in Ohio that has enhanced 10
value during the past year, while we
notice depreciation in the value of other
auimals and theproductso of the COW has
sold for cash every day and every week.
There is such a thing as GOV fashion and
cowology, and way to take care of her
to develop her possibilities. We cannot
understand, nor will manever know, how
milk is generated, and probably it's a
good thing for the COW, for il we did
some designer would endeavor to cheat
the cow of her business by securing
patent right.
Never buy a COW that you don't like.
| The possibilities are born with the COW,
ana it is mans privilege to develop what
nature has done for the animal. Let US
breed just what we want, and we will
| find that individual merit will tell in
every instance. The care of the COW is
something that largely depends upon
making the dairy pay.
We must make 800 days a summer
| for the COW, How we can do this is to
| keep the animal from struggling with
nature. An equipped barn with the

marked and crops out of tn. animal in
| the matter of the cows feeding and
actions. Never force them to drink or
eat, because the animal knows just
where and when she wants food and will
not refuse to take it."
| Mr.. Gould then illustrated the ideal
quarters of the COW, and how she should
be looked after to realize profit from
her products. Be always regular in feed
ing and milking and the instinct of the
COW will teach her to be always on the
alert at the meal hour and ready to per
form her several duties.
In closing the speaker said: "Don'i
stand idle aid allow dairymen from the
distant States to ship to New York and
Philadelphia the products of their diaries
and monopolize the markets of the East,
because of your DEFICIENCIES and short
comings in the matter of bringing the

PURE MILK AND HOW TO PRODUCE IT.

Station, in speaking of 'Pure Milk add
How to Produce IT," said: When W,

consumed in the United States during I

The second days session opened with
good attendance, many being ladies,
and with increased interest.
Hon. F. E. Dawley was piled with
questions at the morning session concern
ing the raising of chickens. He advised
the destruction of all henneries where
the vermin infested the building, and
where they could not efectually be
stamped out by other methods
The subject of good roads was first
discussed, being presented in a paper by
Elmer Smith, of Salem, as follows:

You have probably all heard the story of

roads we are looking for.
Let us look, for a moment, at the history
of this good roads movement and see what
force gave it its impetus and what forces
are behind it. Fifteen or twenty years ago,
the bicycle, then great high-wheeied I'M

being made and used a little on our public
highways. One. Of the first manu- facturers
of bicycles started This good roads move

gated in doing it by his great love for the
farmer and the pity he felt for the beasts Of

ers and mules were benefited. That was
the force that started the movement, and 1t
| is the wheelmen back of it to-day that keep
it going; always, of course, with the sole
| thought of the welfare of the farmer and his
mules. OF course, the farmer is not IA
tional being; doesn't know a good thing
when he sees 1t; so must have it forced on
him, bills and all.
Now, would have a lot more respect fol
| the movement and its prom oters, If they
would acknowledge their real interest in ths
scheme and come forward willingly with
| their share of the expense. Every vehicle
| the farmer puts on the road, from his baby
coach to his fourth hand, is taxed. But the
little combination of steel and India rubber
| is scot free. OF course 1t doesn't gouge out
holes in the road and is claimed to be road

Not every policeman in the First precinct

have q faint notion that Paganini was
some sort Of Roman statesman who fought
under 4 Napoleon throughout the Crimean

time about the birth of BuGdba.
All men in the squad room, including some
of the reporters, were discussing the ques-
ton Of personal conceit and trying to show
just Where the line between self-respect,
pride and conceit might be safely drawn.
The question was left unsettled.
The conversation drirted TO a discussion
as 10 the relative conceitedueSs OF the
sexes, most OF the men holding that women
were more stuck or themselves than were
men. The opinion was not shared by
Lotus. Lotus said:
Nothing beats the conceit OF men, not
even a reporter for an uptown paper. When
men profess to be not eoRceited, it is but
the cOnceit OF conceit. Men are more
given to looking at themselves than are
women. You never saw a place where
men congregate that wasn't decorated with
.ooking-gIasses. The more lookiEg-giasSeS
the more men.
"Did you ever see a saloon that could
do business without a great big looking
glass behind the bar that the men might
look at themselves While they drink?

Did you ever see man take a glass
of whisky, beer, gin fiZZ or Gilmore with
out looking at himself in the lcOking-glass
behind the bar? No man on the force ever
did. Then again, some of the saloons nut
up Il looking-glasS behind the free lunch

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Comma ander Tharer Breaks Out Again
at an Encamnment

Lowell Mass, Feb. 12.-The annual en-
campment of the Massachusetts, G. A. r.
began in Lowell today. with a large at
tendance. The convention was opened at
10 o'clock by Department Commander
Thayer.
Referring to the Confederate monument
at Chicago, to which Commander ThaSer
made strenuous public objection previous
to its dedication, the commander said:
My protest was sustained by the posts
OF this department and by thousands of
loyal men all over the country, and my
object in referring to the matter at this
time is 10 warn you. and through you the
comrades of other States, to be on guard
against any repetition of the act which
may be attempted.
DO not let them use this monument at
Chicago as an entering wedge for other
cities of the loyal north. We may join
with them in extOlling the heroisIn of the
people of the South, but we must not be
asked to cOuntenance or to palliate the
gigantic crime which they committed in
seeking the destruction of the union, or to
allow attempts to distnrt the facts OF his
tory to go unrebuked."

about This feature fthe situation. Unless
il is proposed to make another popular
loan OF about 500, 600 900, it is clear that
the sum contemplated by the Senate COM
mittee's bill cannot be made available Nor
would there appear to he any need for it.
If provision is made for an Amount which
can l'c judiciously expended between the
: time of the passage OF the bill and the close
of the next fiscal year, embracing both the
construction of forifications and of guns
TO be mounted there, that would seem to be
sufficient.
The most important point is that Con-
gFeSs should commit itself to the proiect
OF building system of coast defenses. Our
own people ought TO be made TO feel that
neither the nations dignity nor her ter
rtory will be permitted tO suffer if through
some unfortunate combination the United
States should have To enter upon an armed
conflict with foreign power. Our sea
and lake coasts ought to be made secure.
and withal our navy should be added to
until it is at least reasonably adequate to
hold its"wn against any possible aggressor
