The Profit Of Dairying.

Mr.. EDITOR R:-Will your Citizen kindly
answer these questions
/. Does he not think cents a fair retail
price for milk
2. Is 4 cents per quart for the dairyman,
and cents for the dealer fair division,
when the dealer has the difference between
liquid and dry measure, which is about 6
quarts to 40 quart can?
3. Will ten calves and fifty-eight loads of
manure pay the interest on the cost Of thir-
teen COWS, the loss of $75 on three COWS
sold to the butcher; use Of horse and wagon
and labor ?
4. Will not $114 SO expended for hay,
S25 for litter, and $40 for corn stalks, buy
nice bunch Of manure
5. Who is under the heaviest expense, the
dairyman or the dealer?
Below are the dates your Citizen requests:
1. Twenty-six weeks on pasture, is
weeks in stable, weeks dry-or one year.
2. We dairymen average our feed BY
taking the hIghesb ana lowest pilces IL Que
year.
8. Your Citizen might take October and
November for bis dry period, but il would
l.not be fair to take two summer or two
winter months for the average milk period.
4. Most dairmen feed dry cows on a
cheaper quality Of hay.
s. All COWS are not used for dairying;
some are used for butter and some for fat
tening calves; in the dairy they will not
last as long. New Jersey farmers do not
raise COWS as they did few years ago.
8. count the calf as interest on COW, and
the manure to pay labor, but the latter
falls far short. VIM. GoLDY.

The Primary TangIe In Greenwich.

The Republican Primary ballot box IN
Greenwich is yet not counted, and the
Democratic box though counted is uncerti-
fed. Township Clerk Jos. Murray was in
Woodbury. Tuesday morning endeavoring
to secure legal light on the question, and
Senator Avis, the township solicitor adj
vised him to consult the Attorney General.
A beautiful Primary law this, which law
yer Of long experience, and law maker
bedscked with many jewels, cannot under
stand.
The facts are these: On Primary election
night the Democratic box was counted and
locked, and the Board Of Election proceeded
to count the Republican box.
Mr.. Munyan, one Of the, election Board
objected TO the first ballot taken out as a
marked ballot, whereupon John s. Carson,
the Judge, and Republican, declared that
he was Judge Of election and il objection
was made to that ballot, none should be
counted. He thereupon placed the ballot
back in the box and locked il.
Both boxes were then turned over to
Clerk Murray,
The return Of the Democratic box is
certified by the Democratic members Of the
Board, but the Republican officers refuse e
afix their signatures.

Some Of the oranges in the central and
norther part of the State are passing re-
solutions asking Congress to take action
toward securing tariff concessions from the
German government on apples. Many
thousand dollars worth Of apples are raised
in those sections Of the State, aud the farm

the discrimination of tariff charges.
It has been announced on good authority
shat the electric service of the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad will be opened next
May between Atlantic City and Ocean City.
Cars will run from Virginia avenue and the
beach to Somers Point and thence on a
trestle two miles long across the Inlet. The
line will be extended to Wildwood and

Fire which originated in the Packham
cottage destroyed $50, 900 worth Of property
at Cape May Point, on Sunday, before is
was placed under control with the aid of
the Cape May fire department. The flames
spread quickly from the Parkham cottage
to the Cape House and thence to two cot
tages owned by Mrs. Enoch Suppfee, the
cottages Of Mrs. John Kroner, Mrs. John
Balm, William Porter, John Springer and
Mrs. John Manages. From the laster cottage
the fire spread to the public school building,
but this structure was but slightly dam
aged. The only buildings which were COM
pletely destroyed were the Packham cot
tage and the Cape House. Assistance
which had been asked Of Cape May reached
there about the time the flames were eating
their way into the cottage district, and by
yeoman service the fire fighters from that
city saved the other buildings from destruc-
tion, although all Of them were badly
damaged.

|E Of ATLANTA NEGRO RECALLS
A STORY OF CHIEF JUSTICE WARNER
nous Turist, With SHOTGUN in Hand, Protected an
Indian Acquitted in His Court from Angry Pop
ulace and Escorted Him to His Home.

white man was a tresspaSser upon
the reservation and that in an effort
to get him to leave the pale face
and the Indian had a difficulty, re-
sulting in the former being killed.
Upon this presentation of the facts
of the case it is said Judge Warner
ordered the red skin discharged,
taking the position that the shooting
was justifiable, as the reservation
was the Indians domicile. Before
the Indian left the court room, how
ever, Judge Warner was informed
that his decision in the case had
caused a good deal of indignation,
and that there was danger that the
friends of the white man would kill
the Indian before he could get back
to the reservation. Calling the sher-
if to him, Judge Warner induced
him to place the Indian in Jail and
keep him there until court ad-
iourned. This was done, and when
court adjourned the Judge escorted
the Indian chief back to the reser-
walton in a wagon. 1t is said that
the sheriff drove the team, while
Judge Warner sat in the rear end
of the wagon with a double-barrel
shotgun across his knees.

STOLEN MONEY RETURNED.
President of Negro State Fair Got
Missing Wad by Mail.

Strange to relate, the $500 which
President R. R. White, of the Col
ored State Fair Association, had
stolen from him at Macon a few
nights ago, has been returned, This
statement has been issued by the
head of the colored fair, and he
saws the stolen money came back
through the mail without an explana-
ton.
1t will be recalled that Wright
charged that a negro hackman drove
off with a grip containing the money
and later this hackman jumped town
and the police are still looking 1or
him Although at the time OIL the
robbery it was charged by President
Wright that the amount stolen was
5000 it is now stated by the colored
fair officials that the sum was not
that large.

A Ballad of Home-Cut Hair.

You never see EN- now-a-days--
The boys with home-cut hair
But thirty years or more ago
We saw 'em everywhere.
In those days country barber shops
Wus few an fer the men;
To have the barber cut boys hair
Wus hardly thought of then.
You recollect how father used
To set you on stool;
An apron hanging frum your neck,
Mas scissors for the tool?
You member how upon yer head
He placed the sugar bowl,
While round it's edges snip by snip
The scissors deft1y stole?
An in your mind now don't you see
The other children, too,
Abiding half way hind the door
An pokin' fun at you?
An member when the job was done
That you wus always told
To duck your head beneath the pump
To keep from catchin' cold?
There want no scented lotions then
To put upon the hair;
No tonics, rubs an dandruff cures
To bring you lines of care.
Dad simply trimmed the edges on
To spruce you up a bit,
An when he said, Hop off thestool, >"
You knew that ended it.
In thirty years it seems to me
This world has changed heap,
Today should fathers cut sons hair
They'd be set down as cheap"
But still if dad wuz with us now
A stool I'd gladly take,
An let him use the bowl an all
Jes' onct fer old times sake.

THE REAL ISSUE.
Tariff BEFORE, as Judge Griggs Says,
Is the Great National Question.
Houston (Texas) Post.

1t is true, as Mr.. Griggs of Geor-
gia says, that the tariff is an issue
upon which the democrats might
appeal to the country with hope.
While no one depreciates the import
ance of the trust question all par
ties denounce the trust, and it's value
as an issue for democrats depends
almost entirely upon it's relation to
the tariff question. The republicans
can point to antitrust laws and anti
trust prosecutions to prove their hos
tflity to unlawful combinations, and
no matter how much democrats may
doubt republican sincerity the fact
remains that they have an antitrust
record which is apparently sufficient
to deceive the majority of northern
voters.
The democratic position is that the
protective tariff is the mother of mo-
nopoly and that the robbery of the
people will continue in the most
offensive forms until the privileges
which monopolies and trusts enjoy
through governmental favor are
withdrawn.
These indications are sufficient to
show that the democratic party
should stress it's position on the tar
iff instead of chasing after fads and
rainbows. 1t is the Dingley law
which transfers from the pockets of
the many to the pockets of few
a billion dollars annually above what
would be a reasonable exaction for
their purchases, and it is the Ding
lev law which destroys competition
and places the American consumer
at the mercy of the trusts.
If we are to go on forever con-
tending over issues upon which the
members of the party can never agree
defeat will come with every election,
for divided party cannot cope with
such an organization as the repub-
1ican party,

DIGGING GIANTS SKELETONS
BONES OF PREHISTORIC RACE
ARE FOUND IN ILLINOIS.
Discovery Will Likely Solve the Mys-

terry of the Ancient Mound
Builders. Vases Also Found.
Norfolk, Va, Nov. 26.-What ar
chaeologists declare will solve the
mystery surrounding the ancient
mound builders was discovered re-
Gently in one of a series of hills
along the Illinois river, in that state.
The find" shows traces of handi-
craft of past ages, and the bones of
those who wrought it. Several skel-
etons were eXhumed more than
eight feet long, also pieces of re-
markable pottery, beads and curious
implements. Under the bones of the
ancient dead were found vases the
largest of which are capable of hold
ing more than two gallons, while
under a skull was unearthed a bowl,
in the center of which is we'll
fashioned figure of king seated
upon a crude throne 1t is believed
by scientists that these bones may
be those of great leader of the
race than once ruled this portion
of the country.
Strangest of all the articles found
with the bones were implements that
are apparently made of bamboo,
soma Of than, oyyidou+It- cboDod for
purposes of weaving. Countless
beads were found in the mound of
a strange material almost white, and
possibly made from the best of pot
tiers clay.
Another interesting and curious
find" is a shell-shaped dish with
VOLTS head, the work on which
leaves no doubt that it was carved,
even the teeth of the wolf cleaning
from it, and as exquisitely executed
as some of the ivory carving of the
Japanese.
Thousands of persons are being
attracted to the scene of excavation
by the news of the wonderful dis
coveries. The soil of the mound has
never been disturbed and TO this
fact is attributed the marvellous pre-
servation of the things taken from
it.
Eminent archaeologists are unan-
imous in the opinion that the mound
is a prehistoric burying ground,
greater in extent and more perfect
ly preserved than any yet discover
ed and is valuable contribution
definitely settling many mooted
points.
An effort is being made not only
to secure this remarkable find in
its entirely for the jamestown expo
sition, but the reuslts of investiga-
lions determining the history of this
rare and extinct race of people.

do things mix in this peculiar world.
The disappearance OF native cattle
and the compulsory abolition Of local
slaughter-houses are regrettable Incl
dents Of the growth and development
of the beef trust. In many cases that
have been reported, local mark etmen
We're driven out of business if they
dared to sell other meat than the trust
supplied. In other cases the trust re-
lied on the economics of it's methods,
under which the claim that nothing
is wasted seems to have been fully
justified. These economies made it
impossible for people who could not
save and utilize every particle to
compete with those who had profitable
by-products.
Every observing person will admit
that New England hillsides show prac-
tically no cattle these days except the
dairy herds. The old custom of fatten-
ing steers for local consumption ceas-
ed long ago. They could not be sold.
One Of the things that have injured
our agricultural interests has been
the beef monopoly thousand miles
west of us. There are people who re-
member beef that used to be far SUI
perior to any that money can buy
nowadays; it was the real thing,
grown at home, slaughtered at home,
hung the proper time and then eaten
without the benefits of ice charges and
car mileage or other modern innova-
tons.
| 1t would be a healthy course, if it
could only be adopted, for the public
generally to shut off on ice water and
to limit their meat eating. How would
it do to pass around at the table at
each meal the price list of ice and the
account of clearinghouse economies
to be read before business begins?

carry the state, repea! the state law
and If they are successful in electfng
members OF the lower house of congress
aid later on senators, these men must
oppose Sthe enactment Of pure food
laws, or il they are enacted, to work
and vote for their repeal.
No other conclusion can be drawn
from the fact that the disruptionists
are seeking to defeat every man who
has had any part or parcel in the maxi
ing of these laws. Whether or not the
gigantic trust which has fastened its
tentacles on the nation and is accumu-
lating its millions by selling its rotten
and adulterated products to the public
is behind the scheme, the 5disruptionists
alone can answer. Il But if a man will
sell out the interests of the farmers
who elected him at the bidding of the
mill trust, there is every reason to be-
1ieve that he would be willing to like
wise sell out to the beef trust and
other concerns engaged in the manu-
facture Of impure foods. IL.
It is therefore not improbable that
this is one Of the hidden principles in
volved in this fight for the disruption
Of the republican party, and that the
principal reason why the leaders of
those disruptionists dc. not want to
make their candidates known is that
the people may not have the opportun-
ity Of asking them embarrassing ques-
tions. n 4S s5 Ia
However, it is to the credit of the
people Of the state that they will not
endorse or support. a scheme, if they
know it, which countenances the des-
truction Of the wall which has been
built around the enforced sale of pure
food in this state. Neither will they
lend any assistance knowingly to the
trusts which are bent on defeating the
enactment of the national pure food
law. II le5ss.

We eat too much meat all the year
around; we drink too much ice water
every summer, and, indeed, all through
the year, says the Hartford Courant.
Possibly the fact that ice has become
a luxury, out of reach of many and
hateful to many others who realize
the greed and iniquity Of the monopoly,
may reduce its consumption; and pos
sibly the amazing and unappetizing
revelations about clearinghouse meth
DDS may stay the warnings for meat.
The march of events seems to be
along the line of right living, though
we are driven that way by processes
that all decent folks condemn. Thus
