Cranberry Growers.

The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the
American Cranberry Growers Association
was held at the state house Thursday. The
meeting was unusually interesting to the
members. Mr.. Martin from Connecticut
and Mr.. Small from Massachusetts were
among those present. The following Of
icers were reelected: President, DR.. ].
H. Brakeley, Bordentown first vice presi-
dent, Rev. E. r. Durell, Woodbury. sec
ond vice president c. L. Holman, Lake
Trenton; representatives in New Jersey
State Board of Agriculture, Joseph Evans,
Marlton, and J. J. White, New Lisbon
executive committee, Theodore Budd, A.
J. Rider, Rev. E. H. Durell, ]. J. White
There were reports from the officers,
with addresses by president and vice presi.
dent, the latter speaking on "The Where
fore of Our Present Limited knowledge
on Gran berry Culture"
The following topics were discussed
Why do our wild or natural vines usual
ly produce sound, hardy fruit?
How nearly can a cultivated bog be
brought or kept to the condition of nat
ural bog to be productive and yet escape
the scald or rot
Is the character of the sand or soil used
to overlap the peat responsible for the rot
or scald3 If SO, how can the proper sand
or soil be selected and the proper quantity
determined without actual experiment?
What varieties are calculated to best
Withstand adverse conditions, and are
they desirable?
Is it advisable to change from a mixed
to special variety of fruit on good pro-
ducing bog? If SO, what is the best method
of procedure
The subject chiefly discussed was that Of
the rot or scald-the bane of cranberry
growing in this state.
Professors Halsted and Voorhees, of the
experimental station at New Brunswick
were present and helped discuss this ques-
ton, but were unable to give the growers
any encouragement that the trouble could
be overcome.
The area of profitable cranberry-growing
land in the country is very contracted
one. In Massachusetts nearly all the
cranberries are grown in two counties.
Last years cranberry crop, which is
practically all marketed, comprised
700, 900 bushels, divided up as follows !:
New Jersey, 100000; New England, 4oo,-
900; the west $4,000 bushels.
This is over an average crop, there hav-
ing been but four better years. Last year
the crop consisted of S3o, 900 bushels, but
New Jersey produced only 100000 of it.
New Jerseys biggest year was in 1898,
when the total crop was 100000 bushels,
which New Jersey grew $4,000 bushels.
The demand from abroad is increasing
as the result of the efforts made a few
years ago by the association to introduce
the berry across the water. Last year
1000 bushels were shipped from Boston.

AFTER careful consideration and pa
tent hearing of the friends of both appli-
eants, Gov. Griggs has appointed Prose
cutor of the Pleas in Mercer county, Sc
leeting William ]. Crossley in preference
to ex-Congressman Buchanan. While it
is really none of Burlington county's af-
fair, still there are many here who, re-
membering Mr.. Buchanan's actions in
some of our post Office appointments, feel
highly gratifed in the determination of
Gov. Griggs to allow the ex-Congress-
man to rest in the background on his
Washington 1aurels.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY l, 1898.

UNDER existing laws it is rather risky
business to Fix juries," the punishment
being commensurate with the crime. A
bill was introduced in the Assembly last
week. which, while apparently innocent
on cursory examination, on close inves-
tigation proved to be dangerous meas
ure. By its provisions the greatest pun
ishment that can be imposed is imprison-
ment for not more than thirty days, or a
fine not exceeding $500. The bill will not
live very long.

shown in White Enamel. A great
variety of styles and sizes, with
Mirrors of many shapes. Prices be-
gin at $5 for a fair-sized oak bureau,
and rise by easy steps to $135.
More than $50 styles.
TOILET TABLES
Are equally varied as to the woods
and styles. These are now so popular
that manufacturers have wed with
each other to produce the best de-
signs and qualities and to lower
prices, until we now have over 14O
styles, beginning at$6, for a nicely
finished oak, the price-range end
ing at $78, for fine, rich Mahogany

airy number the following remarkable ut
terance by Sarah Grand in regard to her
purpose in writing THE Beth Book" in

the errors of the critics:
I'm influencing their daughters choice
of husband parents are apt to consider q
mans means, manners and position
rather than his principles or ideals. If
he prove to be good fellow in society
they are content to inquire no further.
Many men of excellent manners in pub

conversation in private is a continual
source of suffering to their wives. wrote
The Beth Book to show what a refined
woman must suffer when forced to asso-
ciate with such a man, the inevitable
blight, the certain deterioration that set
ties upon her even when she has the force
of character to escape absolute corruption.
The critics have almost all missed this,
the one purpose of the book, and bounced
upon something quite incidental, and
merely introduced by way of illustration,
and as the Vivisective incident, to which
they attribute an exaggerated importance.
The subjects discussed came inevitably
into the life of an intelligent woman stu
ated as Beth was at the time of which /
was writing she could not have avoided
them, and, therefore, no picture of her
would be- faithful that ignored them; but
it is in the conditions of her life, not in
her intellectual pursuits, or opinions, that
the real significance of her story is found

issue of Lt1bfncott's is "a Trooper Gala

tains some close and vivid sketches of
character and life at an army post in the

furnished by a prolonged pursuit of a
dangerous band of outlaws. "His Last

very brief tales. "Outwitting a Grizzly"
