A MONMOUTH COUNTY FARMER
USES A cow MILKER,

Alfred Woolley, of Morganville,
near Matawan, is one of the most
progressive milkmen of Monmouth
County. He has conducted a milk
route at Matawan many years, with
constant increase of business. He
keeps herd of twenty COWS. He has
recently bought milking machine
and will hereafter do away with hand
milking. The machine milks two
cows at time and is capable of milk
ing twenty COWS of average yield of
milk in an hour. Mr.. Woolley operates
the milking machine by foot power
at present, but when the electric
wires are run out as far as his farm
he will run it with an electric motor.
Mr.. Woolley says his greatest
trouble is in getting the cows ac-
customed to the new style of milking.
In the past he has always milked the
cows from the right side. With the
new milking machine, a pail is put
between two COWS, and the machine is
attached to the left side of one COW
and to the right side of the other cow
Mr.. Woolley says the cows object to
being .milked from the left side, but he
expects they will soon get accustomed
to the machine, and will stand for
being mi1ked as readily on one side
as on the other.
Mr.. Woolley is belived to be the first
farmer in Monmouth County who
milks his COWS with a milking mach
inc. Besides being faster and more
thorough than hand milking, it is also
said to be much more sanitary than
the old method and it has been endors-
ed by the inspectors of the dairies
throughout the State. When cows
get accustomed to the machine they
are said to like it much better than
milking by hand, and to stand much
more quietly during the operation.

Monument to Confederate Veterans.

The announcement that the United
States Government is about to erect a
monument to mark the resting places
of Confederate soldiers buried in New
Jersey, will probably be the first inti-
nation to many people in this State
that any considerable number of what
were once called rebel soldiers are
sleeping here. Yet it is a fact that
2.400 officers and men of the Confed-
crate army and navy are buried in a
section of the National Cemetery at
Salem.
The government found it imprac-
ticable to ascertain, from the imper-
feet records. the names of all the
dead, and could not, therefore, erect
an individual headstone for each one,
as was originally intended. A monu-
ment costing about $500 is there
fore to be built to mark the plot in
which lie the Confederate prisoners of
war, who died at Fort Delaware be-
tween the years 1852 and 1865.

Visitors at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition, which opens at
Seattle June and closes October
l6, will be able to dine to their sat-
isfaction at the city's leading cafes
and restaurants at normal prices.
To leave no doubt as to the working
cut of this commendable spirit on
the part OF Seattle's caterers, they
recently met and voted as body an
agreement binding all restaurant,
cafe, grill and hotel men to main
tain the present prices throughout
the Exposition time, ana no men,
Der of the organization to which the
caterers belong will be allowed TO
take advantage of the opportunity
to reap additional profits, as has
beed done, despite protests, in pre-
virus expnaiti"n cities. The action
" taken after /. A. Nadeau, Dir
ector General Of the A. p. had
addressed the assembled restaurant
men, showing them how the in
creased crowds that would follow
reasonable charges would not only
add to the credit of the city and the
success of the Exposition, but would
mean increase in business. To the
hired help must be given much of
the credit for the continuance OF
low prices. Walters, cooks and
helpers of all kinds have entered in
to an agreement that the present
scale of wages shall not be tamper-
ed with during the fair.

Commissioners to compel the restoration
OF his pension Of 800 month. which was
decided against him by the District

submitted a statement to the effect that
while the former fire marshal has in a
measure recovered his health, he may
again be subject TO the affection which
resulted in his retirement from the
Fire Department, in which instance he
will again be eligible to the benefit Of
the pension fund.

that Mr. Bieber will be retained on the
pension list at 81 a month, a sum sug-
gested by himself. in order that his PEN
