A GREAT GLOVER FARM.
-Four Profitable Crops Harvested from
One field in III Months

Ii is not often that farm in New Jersey
| yields four profitable crops ii two years Of
such staples as wheat and hay, aud yet that
| is the record that will be made by Renney
n. Dey on bis Cranbury township farm Of
rather one field of it, as Mr.. Dey gathered
q crop of wheat last harvest and later
moved crop Of a ton and half Of prime
clover hay per acre from the stubble for
which he received $l0.5o per ton at Dayton.
This Spring the clover has made re-
markable growth and is easily the finest
clover stand in the county. of very uni
form grade and size all over the field. With
the second cutting unsual in the season
following seeding down, Mr.. Dey will have
gathered four fine crops from the same
ground in about IA months, record very
unusual in this or any other eastern section
Of the country Mr.. Dey is an extensive
farmer not an intensive one, having tried
the latter method in his earlier farm expe-
rience and abandoned it for the production
of more staple crops, making speciality Of
hay and grain, with potatoes as a good
second Mrs. Dey had been a school teacher
before her marriage and soon figured out
that it would be both more profitable and
pleasant to adopt western ideas and go in
for the use Of machinery rather than the
employment Of so much help, excepting
at the short period necessary to harvest
staple crops; and as the Dey's are partners
in the large sense that a true union repre-
sents, it did not take long to convince both
members of the firm that the change would
be profitable. Most Of the cattle were sold,
dependence placed almost entirely upon
commercial fertilizers to aid their lands to
produce maximum results, the amount Of
labor involved being considered, and soon
Mr.. DEFY became known as the producer Of
the greatest tonnage on the road. He is
frequently busy all winter bailing and
marketing his crop. The clover field men-
toned above has not been treated to barn
yard fertilizer in decade. Potash, bone
and acid phosphate have been used in
liberal lots

COUGHS AND COLDS.
How They May De Relieved by sfm-
pie Remedies.

pie Remedies.
A few drops of spirits Of camphor
taken on sugar every three or four
hours will usually check cold, says
the Chicago Tribune
A little camphorated oil rubbed well
into tie chest when a cough is painful
will give great relief
AS long as Won are shielded from
draft an open window is no source Of
danger even on the bitterest night.
A cup of hot linseed tea taken before
retiring for the night is a good remedy
and will often prevent a cold.
Hoarseness may be relieved by using
the white of an egg well beaten mixed
with lemon juice and sugar. Take a
teaspoonful every hour.
Cayenne pepper tea is good for d
cold. Take quarter of a teaspoonful
Of pepper and nearly teacuA ii of
water and drink it as hot as it can be
swallowed.
For tight, hoarse cough take hot
water often, as hot as can be slipped.
This will give immediate relief. Al lit
tie lemon juice added to the water is
beneficial.
sneezing is averted by pressing the
upper lip, because by doing so we
deaden the impression made on GER
tain branch of the fifth nerve. sneezing
being a reflex action excited by some
slight impression on that nerve. Sneez-
ing does not take place when the fifth
nerve is paraiyzed. even though the
sense of smell is retained.
Squeeze a large, clean handkerchief
out Of water and place IN a wad on the
pillow of the patient an inch or two
from his nose. so that he can inhaIe the
moisture. He will usually cease cough
ing In fifteen minutes. While this treat
ment may not cure a cough, it will in
sure good nights rest to- many a sick
child and tired mother.
To avoid taking cold keep the circu-
lation in good condition by regular
bathing and exercise. Be careful about

changes in 1t unless there is d decided
change in the weather. To change from

How to keep Household Accounts.

Keeping accounts may be a little
troublesome, but It is quite worth
while Have just one book. rather
thick, that will do for everything. Turn
the front part into cash account
Open the book out fiat, write down
your allowance on the left hand page
and on the right put down what you
have paid the butcher, baker, etc.
everything even to postage stamp.
Then once a week or oftener balance.
Balancing is nothing harder than sub
tracing the total Of the money you
have spent from what you had In hand.
The difference is what you should have
in cash. When you have been keeping
accounts for some time you will realize
as you never did before what your
money goes for Keeping accounts IS
not helping you to make money, but it
does help you to find out how to get the
most for your outlay and how to bal
ance your needs with your income.

How to Mend Table linen,

A housewife whose table linen al.
ways does her good service mends il
with embroidery cotton of number to
correspond with the quality Of the
cloth. Under the ragged edges of the
tear she bastes a piece of stiff paper
and makes q network of fine stitches
back and forth over its edges, carry
Ing the stitches about an inch beyond
the edges. Thin places and breaks in
linen may be run with the fax or EN-

mended in the same way.

CLUB SANDWICH ES.

at Home.

HOW Imey May successfully BE Made
at Home.
When you are In doubt what to have
for luncheon or for d late supper to
which YOU have invited friends sur
prise them with some dainty club sand
witches, says the New York Globe and
Commercial Advertiser Many persons
think this Wand cannot be made at
home but with a little pains and with
the right sort of bread d homemade
sandwich Is quite as good as that
made by an experienced hotel chef.
You must have freshly made and
very light wheat bread, cold boiled
ham, cold turkey or chicken and some
crisp lettuce. These are the materials
required. Some persons use bacon in
stead of ham, but ham is much the bet
ter of the two. Cut thin slices from the
breast of the turkey or chicken and lay
them on plate ready for use. Get the
lettuce leaves ready for use and lay
them on plate near at hand. Cut as
many thin slices from the boiled ham
as are required and lay them on the
broiler.
Cut the bread in thin slices, first care
fully removing the crust from the en-
tire loaf. You must have a very sharp,
thin bread knife. Toast the bread
quickly a delicate brown and put it
where it will keep hot, but not get dry,
while you broil the ham. This must be
done quickly. and as soon as it is done
begin to put the sandwiches together.
Dip one side of toast in d little melted
butter; lay it on platter; on the slice
of toast lay a crisp leaf Of lettuce, on
the lettuce lay a slice Of the broiled
ham. then slice of the turkey. or chick
en-; season this with salt and pepper
then lay on lettuce leaf and. last Of
all, another slice of toast.
Press the whole firmly with the hand
to pack it, then cut the sandwich
across in triangular shape and serve
with mayonnaise in a separate dish,
or, while making the sandwich. spread
the mayonnaise on the lettuce leaves.
If possible. one should have an assist
ant in making club sandwiches, as they
must be made as quickly as possible

same time soft and fresh

seated for four years to come and there are
now some overdue State accounts to settle,
some machines to smash, some rebukes to
administer and some policies to push ahead.
The spirit of independence is already
abroad, and promises to make lots Of trouble

The New Jersey Republican organiza-
tion has its serious troubles, because a
very respectable minority Of the party is in
open revolt against the alliance that has
been made with the Public Service Corpor-
alton and the railroads in particular Mayor
Pagan, Of Jersey City, denounces the
organization railroad taxation law and
has prepared platform which be proposes
to enforce. His platform includes limited
franchises and taxation of railroad main
stem property at local rates. This was
the Democratic plan, but the organization
was obliged to give the railroads value re-
oeiYed for their support and took it in the
way Of immunity from taxation and no
interference with franchise limits.
Indications are that the people of New
Jersey don't propose to be as patient bur
den bearers as were the people Of Phila
delphia, and that the untrading process
will begin this fall.

who have done corporation bidding will
