Farmers Meeting

The farmers Of Salem and Gloucester
county will hold a public meeting in Red
Mems Hall, P~edricktown, on Saturday
25th, at 1.30 for the purpose of discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of organizing thru the
Grange, or independently, so as to protect
their interest in selling their products
and buying supplies.
National lecturer G. w. F. Gaunt. of
Gloucester county will address the meet
ing, also other speakers. ALI farmers
should feel interested and attend this
NEE ting.
= Many farmers feel that they have not
been getting the full fruits of their
labors. Some of their crops are not
marketed as economically as they should
be, not put up in the best manner, nor
properly graded for certain markets.
Often the markets are unstable and the
farmers suffer losses that should not be
if there was a general understanding how
much the markets would bear and when
to ship. A glut IL day in the week
with a knock-down in price and a famine
and high prices the same week should
not be.
The farmers products should have a
stable and standard value in this region
as we'll as the fruits grown in other
regions. The only way to get this is to
get together and be Of one mind.

No Racing Locomotives.
Real Object of Pennsylvania Expert
ment's at Clayton, N. J.

Reports which have recently appeared
concerning certain test the Pennsylvania
Railroad has been making on the West
Jersey and Seashcre Railroad neal Clay
ton, N. j., have created an entirely erro-
neous suppression, says Casters Magazine.
1t has been stated that the company was
racing steam and electric locomotives
with a view to determining the speed
capacity Of each type.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has other,
more accurate and much less dangerous
methods OF testing the speed of locomo-
tives than trying them out in such Il
name as this. Furthermore, the types
of electric and steam locomotives which
have been used in these experiments were
not desig ned primarily for speed, and
any interference based on their perform
ance in this regard would be incorrect.
What the company is doing is this
Experience indicates that the operation
of elect ic locomotives, owing to their
lower centre OF gravity, has an effect upon
the track entirely different from that due
to the action OF steam engines. In order
to ascertain the exact nature and extent
of this pressure upon the rails a stretch
of track about 166 feet in length has been
equipped at Clayton with rails and cast
steel. ties designed and made especially
for this purpose.
Instead of attaching the rail to the
ties by spikes a special form of block has
been substituted which allows a slight
movement of the rails as the engine goes
over it. This movement registers the
force with which the 1anges OF the wheels
strike or press against the rails. 1t is
expected that a large number of expert
ments with this apparatus will show the
company quite accurately what the effect
is of either steam or electric locomotives
moving at different speeds over either a
strai ght or curved line track.
