Every farmer knows that

others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young

SCOTS Emulsion offers an

Md weakness often means

bringing oysters from the south fol-
planting.
Pretty much of the plants this yenr
will come from about Virginia. Not
a single planter will go to Connecti-
cut fer oysters. The bivalves from
that locality dc not thrive here, and
those that live are covered with such
q thin shell that the star fish can
bore through them without the slight
est difficulty. One firm q couple of
years ago brought SO. 200 worth of
these oysters to the cove and never
got more than $40O from them.
There will be but very few oysters
taken from the bay and planted. The
natural beds are practically barren,
and oystermen generally agree that
there will be no possibility of ever
getting more plants from the bay Jun
less the entire Delaware Bay is closed
for a couple of years and shelled by
the State Commission.
Oystermen say hat tho winter in
resp ects has been hard upon the
oysters. Where the oysters have been
worked on and off during tho winter
the ice has caused much damage. but
where the oysters have not been dis
there does not seem to have
much damage resulted.

THE OYSTERS IN
JERSEY.
Report Comes from TOMS River
that Past Season was
Poor.

TOMS River, May 1.-THE oyster
season on the nat ural beds closed Oh
Saturday of last week. 10 the oyster
man, both the longer and the planter,
the past winter in Barnegat bay, was
a disappointment. Farther down
shore, in Little Egg IIarbor and Great
Bays, the oystermen are reported TO
have made good to q larger extent for
the enforced inactivity of the long
winter. But in the lower part of the
county more preparation is made for
winter by planting oysters where they
can be easily gotten at, notwitllstand'
ing the weather may become unfavor-
able.
Barnegat bay, however. had one Of
the worst winters on record so far as
the oyster shipper was concerned.
The ice shut in at Thanksgiving time,
and did not break up for three months.
The heavy ice smothered many plant
ed oysters, particularly where the
bottom was shoal. AS for the tongers,
while they might have made n few
dollars q day on the natural beds, the
ice would not lot them work. Beside
the catch of seed oysters last fail
was not heavy, and the Cedar Greek
beds did not last long after being
Turned open on the first of October.
Planting of oysters in the lower
bays began sometime ago. Oysters
from Virginia were brought to West
Greek, Tuckerton and Barnegat
Around Cedar Greek few oysters are
planted, mostly shells and clutch.
This is considered q little early for
that kind of planting. The Virginia
oysters were planted early, it is said.
because that State allows the ship
ping of seed oysters from natural beds
outside of the State only in the early
spring.

contrary to all expectations tie Della

this spring than was expected, al

DANIEL DONOHUE DEAD
North Mankato Resident Dies Sud-
denly in st. Peter Hospital.
From Mondays Daily.

rom MOnOayS LAZY.
Daniel Donohue, the insane patient
who was taken to the asylum at st.
Peter not long ago from his home in
North Mankato, died suddenly in the
institution this morning at $40 o'clock.
Mr.. Donohue had just eaten good
breakfast and his sudden falling over
dead was about as great surprise
to his physicians and attendants as to
anybody else. He had long been suf'
ferer, however, with kidney trouble, and
this undoubtedly had great deal to do
with the unsoundness of his mind. Mr..
Donohue was fifty-seven years old.
The deceased came to North Mankato
with his family about fourteen years
ago from Delano, Wis. He was stone
mason by trade. He is survived by a
widow, one son, Daniel Donohue, two
stepsons, Ben and Leo Fermenich, both
of North Mankato; and one stepdaught-
er, Mrs. John F. Brown of Kaukauna,
Wis.
Dennis Donohue, his fathers brother,
Michael Dohohue, and Charles Stewart
all left the city this afternoon at l2:40
for St. Peter, whence they will accom-
pany the body for interment to Reeds
burg, Wis. Here the remains of the de-
ceased will be consigned to the earth
next Wednesday in the same lot with
those of his parents and three sisters.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.

George T. Blanchard, who resided in
this place several years ago, and was an
employee at the depot, was run over by
the train on which he was brakeman,
on the Great Northern, and died soon
after. The accident happened as the
train was pulling into Merritt, Washing
ton, Jan. 3D. The remains were sent to
his home in Everett, Wash. He has left
wife and four children. Before leaving
here he was transferred to passenger
train on which he was a brakeman be-
tween here and Gilmore. The family
will have the sympathy of many old
friends in this state in their sorrow

N. JyLIAR ON R. R. CARRIERS.
He Makes Some Excellent Suggestions
to Patrons.

l.
The carrier John T. May
Of mail route number "tra"
Has lots to say
But all the right way.
A short time ago Mr.. John T. May
had an article in The Free Press stating
the facts of mail routes, and any one
reading it ought to have read it twice
as there was so much truth in it. There
is not one person on the rural route
lines that would not feel sorry should
the routes be discontinued. That was
proven last summer by route number
two when the roads were so bad that the
people were afraid that the carrier
would give up, they made the carrier a
purse of $50. don't think there is one
person on the rural route lines but has
good word for the carrier.
Now, therefore, let us all do as John
T. May suggested. If we can't put a
little rack in our mail box we can
fix it some way so that when it is 20
below zero the carrier is not obliged to
take off his mittens and pick up the let
ter out of the snow which may have
drifted in the box. Another thing is
often done when letter is mailed. Two
cents is often laid on top of the letter.
That means that the carrier must put
on a stamp. Of course he will do it
but that is not his business and should
not occur many times. No one should
buy less than ten cents worth of stamps
at time. Another thing, some have
made it a practice to ask for ride. If
the mail carrier is allowed to take pas
sengers he ought to be paid at least
five cents per mile. Then another thing,
the carrier is not paid for his work ac-
cording to the amount received by car
riers in the cities. Where they are OBJ
liged to keep three horses and two or
three vehicles according to weather and
roads therefore the rural route men
ought to have at least $500 per year, but
some one may say that the free delivery
will not pay, but we farmers are used to
that. Lots of things do not pay on the
farm, but we have not forgotten the
words: Try, try, try, again. It's a
good thing, let's all try to push it along

COMFORTABLE BALANCE.
Workmen's Benefit Association Sound
Financially.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Quite a comfortable balance in the
treasury was shown by the treasurer's
semi annual report at the meeting of the
Workmen's Benefit association last
Tuesday night, the sum laid by for fu-
ture reference being $39s.l0. The COM
mittee on finance examined the books
and documents of the treasurer and
financial secretary and found the state
of the treasury to be as follows: Bal
ance on hand June %, 1908. $3l7.34;
received during the past six months,
$l8l.00; total receipts for the half year,
$49s.34; paid out during the past six
months, $lO9.24; balance in the treas
ury, ssss.lO.
The organization was formed for the
sole purpose of taking care of sick MEM
bers. The fact that so much remains in
the treasury shows how easy it is for
any considerable body of workingmen to
take care of all the sick ones there may
be among their number without such
care causing any great hardship on those
who remain we'll.
