Breed to-.
SID FOS TER
The greatest bred Stallion ever
located in New Jersey, and with
more natural speed.

Bay horse, one inch short of 16 hands, weighs
l,l00 lbs, foaled August 20, 1891. Bred by Count
Valensin, Pleasanton, Alameda Co., California.
Sire: Sidney 4,770; record 2.ig54. Dam: Dell
Foster, by A. w. Richmond l,6s7 second dam;
daughter of George NJ Patehen, Jr., 81; record
2.27.
Now is the time to breed, as there is a very
promising outlook for breeders of good horses,
as well-bred horses always in demand at
fancy prices. 1t is the horse smooth at all gaits
and that carries himself like gentleman and
who is balanced at all rates of speed that is
ing in vogue. If you raise n colt raise one that
the people want the later in the season the colt
is born the more work the mare can do 1t is
better for the colt to come after fly time. Work
does not injure the mare colt, in fact it is
beneficial, but Judgment must be used. Go
long way to avoid IA dung-hill sire. Don't raise
a colt from grade dung-hill sire il you can
have it as a gift. 1t will make you dollars
poorer for you never get for it what it will
cost to raise it. 1t will be u misht on the farm
and will have no place in the market. Select
sire of pure blood The market is getting more
particular every day about looks and style of
horse. Even truck horses must oe handsome
to bring good prices.
SERVICE FEE-Sid Foster will stand for the
remainder of the season 1902 at the stables of

We are sure that the conservative spirit
in which the Democracy approached, and
the deliberate fairness with which it per-
formed its duty both in PRONUNCIATION OF
principles and selection of the candidate, will
meet the approval of all Democrats and ill.,
vite the cooperation of fair men of Other
parties.
Strife there was, but it was strife of opin-
ion as to the availability of candidates, not
of principles strife as is right and
proper in democratic assemblages.
Richard T. Miller, former Circuit Court
Judge in this district, Democrat of the
Jacksonian school; a citizen of highest
character learned, just and impartial
Judge, is an ideal candidate. He requires
no introduction to the district. His ability
to ably represent this people, his tidel-
ity to the interests of his district and his
country cannot be called in question. As
the canvass grows his candidacy will grow
until it develops into a whrl-wind that
shall exhalt honest worth and purge the
politics of our district for generation.

The farmers on the eastern end of Long
Island are harvesting the greatest crop OF
potatoes ever raised on the island. The
yield is unprecedented, from 200 to 45C
bushels of fine large potatoes to an acre.
while in other years 250 or 300 bushels pei
acre has been thought a remarkable crop.
Prices, however, rule very low, twenty
five cents per bushel being all that dealers
pay, but even at this figure the crop is
netting farmers much more than last year:
crop, most of which was marketed al
thirty five cents bushel.
