PRODUCE FACTORIES.


What has the man who invests his
capital in land, horses, cattle, farming
implements, fertilizers, seeds and labor
but produce factory? And why in
the world should not such plants be
operated on precisely the same gener
al plan as that on which textile fac
tories are runp
Let us look into this. In the begin
ming, the textile manufacturer opens
set of books where he has written down
items like these: Cost of plant, ditto
of machinery, raw material, labor,
statesmen, insurance, freight, express
sage, postage, etc.
AS time rolls on and sales of finish
ed product occur, on page opposite
to the items just noted he has written
down the sums received from those
sales.
This goes on in regular order say
for six months or year, and then
stock is taken and the books balanced
and the operator knows where he is at.
Now isn't this the secret of all sue
cessful business, farming included?
And must not the Eastern farmer, of
all others. operate thus if he wants to
keep his head above water.
The Eastern grain farmer who
doesn't know he is heavily handicapped
by expensive land, high local freight
rates, ETC., as compared with the Wes-
tern farmer, has much to learn.
And the earlier he learns it and be-
gins to conduct his business accord
ingly, the sooner he will begin to oper-
ate on profitable basis.
The enormous fall in land prices
hereabouts in the last decade, shows
the lesson sought to be inculcated here
is being learned in a way that can not
be misunderstood.
One Of the mysteries about the whole
matter is how long eastern land owners
are going to sit idle and see the Govern
ment set up opposition produce fact
cries by practically giving land away
to all corners. Just as long as this
course is pursued, just 80 long must
the value of eastern farms shrink.
Eastern truck farmers are left out Of
this calculation purposely, but those
in South Jersey, are nearly driven tc
the wall by the cheap freights, land
and labor of the South, the output Of
which section gets to mark ct anywhere

EVILS OF oLEoMARGARlNE.

At4.30 o'clock last Thursday after
noon there was a meeting of the New
Jersey Dairymen's Association, in
Trenton which was addressed by former
Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin. His re-
marks were devoted chiefly to the sub
iect of oleomargarine and filled
cheese" HI said that the United States
Committee, which recently made an in
vestigation of the question of adulterat-
ed foods, was astounded at the magni-
tude Of the counterfeits ii encountered.
Twenty-four out of thirty samples
of butter procured were found to be
bogus. The cheese exports of this
country decreased from $l5, 900, 600 in
1885 to $3, 900, 600 in 1897, on account
Of the imposition on foreign countries
Of spurious product by our export
ers. During the same period, the
cheese exports Of Canada increased
from 33, 600, 900 to SIS, 900, 900.
The stupid dishonesty of American
utuIGIb WIZ htltIupiti w dinPppV VI
''filled cheese" to foreign countries,
the speaker said, was responsible for
this condition. The shrewd Cana
| dams, had, on the contrary absolutely
prohibited the making of such arti-
cles as counterfeit butter or cheese
and they are now reaping the reward.
Not only are we losing the conf.
dence of foreigners, but of our own
people as well, said Governor Hoard,
by the making of the bogus articles
New Jersey is deeply interested in the
matter and should bestir itself in urg
ing both State and national legisla
ton on the subject.
The farmers were urged to lend
their support to the Grantt bill now
pending in Congress. Governor
| Hoard explained this measure at some
length, saying he expected to spend
several days in Washington urging it,
passage. 1t is proposed by the bill tt

yellow butter, and tax of one-quar.
ter of cent pound on the uncolored
article.
From the testimony collected al
various times, Governor Hoard said il
was estimated that 20 per cent. Of the
food in the country is adulterated, the
farmer being cut off to Just that ex
tent in his production Of food.
The impression that oleomargarint
is the poor mans butter, the speaker
said, is false. IT is a swindle alike
he declared, on the rich and poor. be
cause it is not a wholesome product
The cost of producing oleomargarine
including a two-cent tax, is sever

he said, in Investigations all over thu
country that in the production o
aeoinargarine, oil from dead horses
and other animals had been used il
large quantities. He branded it

greatest crimes Of the present day.

Captain Readings Fellow Employees Show
Their Regard for Him.

Captain Readings Fellow Employees Show
Their Regard for Him.
When Captain H. M. Reading, of
Company F, Second Regiment, who
has been chief assistant to Trainmaster
Gordon, at Coalport, was promoted to
the position of general yardmaster at
Phillipsburg January /, his fellow
employees decided to give him some
thing that would serve him as a re-
minder of the esteem in which they
held him.
SO they decided upon watch,
handsome gold one, with chain and
Masonic charm, which was presented
to him yesterday. Captain Reading
was called to Trenton on what he sup
posed was a business engagement,
and was very much surprised upon be-
ing presented with the watch.
Trainmaster Gordon got all the en-
ployes in the office at o'clock, and in
. few words told the captain how much
he was thought of in the yard and
presented him with the time piece on
behalf of himself and the others who
stood by. The recipient replied in
few we'll fitting words, and then there
was general Misunderstanding all around.
