To which gripmen are inclined,
But a jolt that shocked me more than

From flown the aisle a fascinating girl
Set my senses in an amatory whirl,
When she turned a pretty smile
Toward my corner, and the while
Showed the tips of teeth that glistened

sauce For turkey to BE Costly.

AS was predicted, the cranberry
crop in the southern part of Burling-
ton County has been cut very short.
The boys of Evans & Wills, at Friend
ship, yielded 5000 bushels. Two years
ago the crop was $4,000 bushels. The
Taunton boys, owned by the Hinch-
man estate. which in former years
averaged $4,000 bushels, yielded less
than 1000 this year. while 5000 bushels
were picked from Edmund Braddock's
bogs this year. to an average Of 1000
in other years. In smaller boys, where
the average picking is from 500 to
1000 bushels, it is cut down this year
to from 800 to 1900 bushels. The grow
ers, however, expect good prices.

recognizing the union in any way.
EVenty-two companies were repre-

Company decided to post notices
agreeing to increase wages ten per

would be sold for $3.50 a keg, but that
the difference between that and the
old rate, S2.75. shall be taken into

Sweet Potatoes For Pigs.

1t is noticed that pigs fatten very
quickly on sweet potatoes, due to the
large amount of sugar in the food,
and sweet potato growers utilize the
small potatoes for that purpose. The
beet also contains a large proportion
OF sugar, and should be grown for
swine, as they are relished at all sea-
sons, both cooked and raw.

The question is often asked, Does
it pay to doctor sick fowls? And ex-
cept in rare cases / invariably answer.
"No."
Where one has a flock of exception
ally fine fowls and one of them has a
slight attack, which does not appear
contagious, it may be admissible to
Isolate it and apply some of the known
remedies for such diseases, but as Is
often the case, when we practice med
icine on the fowls, we try to cure
everything that attacks the flock, and
as a result allow the disease to spread
among the remainder.
Many of the failures with poultry
are due to this one thing, and keeping
such fowls for breeding, the weak
ness of the parent stock being trans
mitted to the offspring.
Roup and kindred diseases can
never be eradicated from the system
and viii show year after year.
When disease appears seek the cause.
and after applying preventiyes, turn

in special cases, kill them and burn

cured and the small cost make it
seem almost not worth the trouble
to try to secure them from vines of
their own. But every one is not so
well fixed that a step into a market
house is practicable. Indeed. even
where it is. there is a good deal Of
pleasure in eating your own fruit,
even though it has cost as much as
or more than it could be procured for.
There is no difficulty in securing a crop
of fruit in these days. Between spray
ing and bagging a crop can be safely
relied on. Unless where the foliage
blights badly, bagging alone is sufi-
cient. Just as soon as Towering is
over and the embryo bunch can be
discerned slip a common grocer's pa
per bag over it. Fold the mouth close
about the stem, pinning the ends to-
gether to make all secure. and nothing
more is to be done until you are
ready to eat the fruit in autumn.
What is puzzling to many is that
the fruit in these bags is just as per-
feet in color as it would have been
If fully exposed to the sun and light.
Better than this. 1t is more perfect
In this, that the fruit is possessed of

by local banking interests today from
small towns and villages throughout the

New York banks are already making

ing today more than thirty inquiries upon
the subject One man from a Western
town told a bank officer that he expected
to start eight banks with capital Of 81
600 each. Reports of similar preparations
in other sections Of the country led TO
a prediction by an officer OF one OF the
best known banks that fully 2,eoo national
charters would be applied for after exist
ing restrictions were modified.
The Evening Post says:
'It was estimated today that any one
with $500 capital could start a national
bank under the new system. All that is
required Is $4,000 in 2 per cent govern
ment bonds. which could be secured at
