No New Fangledu Farming.

Now the farmer dons his go-to-meetin suit
And he HES him to grangers' institute,
There to hear, in learned lectures,
Agricultural conjectures
And to bark to professional dispute.
On the platform sit the experts, wise, sedate,
Each with boards of useful knowledge
meath his pate,
And they tell the farmer how
He should milk the speckled COW
In the fashion most approved and up to date.
There are papers on Rotation Of the Crops,
Dissertations onsThe Proper Poles for Hops,
And long, intense debate
On the question grave and great
SHOULD the Barn be Cleaned with Pitchforks
or with Mops?"
"How to Trace the Willy Weasels to Their
Sources"
Helpful Hints on Painless Dentistry for
Horses"
How to Build Stack of Oats
GAS Winter Shed for Coats
There are many more such edifying courses.
Now the farmer sagely mods at all they say,
And at SHUTDOWN, having spent pleasant
day,
Homeward hastens to his toll
And proceeds to till the soil
In the very good old-fashioned Jersey way,

COUNTY BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

| The March meeting of this farmers organ
ization was held in Patrons Hall, Mullica
| Hill last Monday afternoon, with good
attendance, President Tonkin presiding.
A resolution directing the notices OF
meetings of the Board and program to be
published in the county papers for two
weeks was adopted.
The proposed appropriation for Rutgers
| Agricultural College was approved and
| Gloucester county's representatives request
ed to support the measure.
In the discussion of topics, Asa Moore
thought "The Farmers Prospects for the
Coming Season" were very good. The needs
of the farmers, in his opinion, was modern
machinery and unity among farmers same
as between capitalists and among laborers.
Theo. Brown gave certain kind of news
papers jolt when he said he believed the
prosperity of the country had been wonder
fully overrated during the past two or three
years. He didn't believe the farmers were
getting rich as fast as the newspapers would
lead people to believe. The question is
how can the farmer reap good profit, with
increased expenses, unless he can get better
prices for his crops. He said the bulk Of
the tomatoe crop at Swedesboro was sold
lastyear at 80 cents a crate, which with the
expense of the crates and growing, packing
and hauling the crop leaves very small
profit
Thomas Borton said the farmer could
hardly make calculation as to the future.
The farmer must lay out his plans and hope
that things will come all right. There is a
great element of uncertainty about pros
poets and we must not depend too largely
on the outlook.
Aaron Borton agreed with the thought
that there is tendency to overrate the
prosperity of the farmers in this section OF
the state and he did not believe that it was
any advantage to the farmer to have his
business so far overrated.
]. Omar Heritage gave an interesting
and instructive account of IA visit to Vel
| lowstone Park" Mr.. Heritage was extend
ed vote Of thanks for his very entertain
| ing paper.
The Question Box Conference brought
out discussion on the mixture of lime
sulphur and salt for spraying. D. Winfield
Sithens said it was matter which needed
the attention of the farmers. Even if disa-
greeble the farmer must resort to spraying
The mixture must be boiled and applied
while warm.
Theodore Brown, delegate to the State
Board of Agriculture, made a report of the
meeting in January.
A plate Of fine apples from the State Of
Washington were exhibited to Asa Moore
who also gave an idea of the profits il
nraho ri frrifc in that state

BROWNS MILLS TO BE REBUILT.
Bought by M. w. Newton and George
PfaifFar Jr

FIe1Uer, Jrs
Browns Mills, comprising about $500
acres of land in Burlington county, was
last week purchased by Mahlon w. New
ton, proprietor of Green's Hotel, Phila-
delphia, and ex-senator George Pfeiffer,
Jr., OF Camden 1t is the intention of the
purchasers to develop the property as a
summer and winter resort, and within the
next year or two thousands of dollars will
be spent in erecting buildings, constructing
driveways and making other improvements,
which it is believed by the owners will
bring Browns Mills up to the standard of
Lakewood.
More than 700 acres of the property was
purchased by Mr.. Newton from the Forest
Lake Company The remainder of the
8, 300 acres were owned by ex-senator
Pfeiffer and Judge Armstrong of Camden
After Mr.. Newton had secured the entire
property ex-senator Pfeiffer agreed to take
a half interest. The price paid was
$50, 600.
HAS HIGH ELEVATION.
Mr. Newton and Mr.. Pfeifer believe that
in Browns Mills they have the finest loca-
ton in New Jersey for health resort.
The tract includes Little Pine Mill, the
famous New Jersey resort and it has the
highest elevation in the State. A large
part of it is covered with we'll developed
pine timber and there is also a fresh water
lake with an area of 300 acres, and many
springs. Every feature OF the place seems
to be peculiarly adapted to the purposes of
the new owners.
The tract comprises practically the entire
settlement of Browns Mills, with what
improvements the Forest Lake Company
had made Twenty-Five houses had been
built and $50 acres of the land is devoted
to cranberry boys. A $685. 900 hotel was
burned seven years ago, but the electric
lighting plant still remains.
Mr.. Pfeiffer had also established large
duck farm along one of the lakes and he
operates one of the largest incubating plants
in the United States.
Besides the many miles of excellent pine
and other valuable timber that extend over
large part of that tract it contains extern
sive beds of sand suitable for liberation
purposes and good quality of clay.
WORK OF SURVEYING.
Although the property was purchased
only during the last week, surveyors have
been at work for month laying out drive
ways and walks and surveying for proposed
buildings. One of the principal features
of the resort will be hotel containing at
least 200 rooms Assurances have been
given by gentlemen in Philadelphia, Pitts
burg and New York that they will build
cottages and spend their summers at
Browns Mills.
AS soon as possible it is intended to util-
ize the excellent water power, which is
present in abundance, to operate trolley
road through the pine forest to Lakewood.
It has been promised by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to straighten its line
through Burlington county SO as to touch
Browns Mills.
In speaking Of the project, Mr.. Newton
said Browns Mills would undoubtedly be
one of the most attractive resorts in New
Jersey when the contemplated improve
ments are completed.

Basket Ball.

The game scheduled on Friday between
the girls was Carried out, !" and some of the
girls were not far from being served in the
same manner as they seemed determined to
bein each others way, and not few hard
tumbles resulted, and had the players been
boys few hard words would have also
resulted, but the girls passed over these
mishaps with pleasant words and unpleas-
ant bruises.
The Armory was crowded with the
many friends of the contending teams
The game was close and interesting
enough to suit all, and each player received
applause for her fine playing. The
Twentieth Century Team, captained by
Miss Flossie Medara, won by the score of
to 5, Miss Edith Stokes, a college player,
scoring all the points for this team.
The game is generally played with two
centres, but only one was placed on the
floor, making it exceptionally hard for
the girls playing this position.
Co. I again surprised themselves by
winning on Saturday night, beating the
Trinity in a close, exciting game.
The visitors started scoring as soon as the
whistle blew, and had six or seven points
to their credit before Co. l woke up.
Umba got his eye on the basket and Dop-
son his hands on the ball, and it was 'all
day. with Trinity. Score 30 to 15.
tLittle Tannhauser" on Saturday night.
Reserved seat tickets are on sale at
"Bert'' Wilson's.
The team of the Girl's Commercial High
School will play the Kappa Sigma girls in
the Armory in the near future.
Refereeing the girls game was too hard
on the nerves for Christine, or maybe he
was warned to keep out of town by the
losing team, at any rate he failed to appear
on Saturday night. John Ford referred a
satisfactory game.
