SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

Among the decisions rendered by
the Supreme Court, Tuesday, was an
interesting decision in the case of
Catherine A. Tilton against the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. The
plaintiff recovered damages for the
death of her husband on a grade
crossing in Asbury Park. The court
said that since there was an unob-
structed view of the track the man
must have been guilty of contributory
negligence in that he did not see the
the engineers headlight, even if there
were no bell or whistle sounding. The
railroad company gets a new trial.
The court refused to grant a new
trial in series of cases coming from
Hudson County in which a number of
workmen secured damages against che
Iiackawanna and Erie Railroad Com
panies for false imprisonment 1t ap-
pears that during labor troubles at the
plant of the Babbett Soap Company in
Hoboken the plaintiffs were seized by
detectives in the employ of the COM
panies and imprisoned in freight
car They recovered verdicts against
the company ranging from $50 to $3.50.
The court refused to grant new trial
in these cases.

{. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

While one Republican candidate
for the Presidential nomination has
been shouting about Abraham Linz
coin and the other about constitu-
tutional government, the Democratic
House of Representatives has been
enacting laws designed to preserve
the constitution and make the policies
of Abraham Lincoln governing
force.
The Democratic leaders have been
prudent enough to realize that no
speaker can hope to hold a crowd
while first class dog fight is in pro-
gress just around the corner, and for
that reason they have refrained from
presenting the real issues Of the CAM
paign until one of the contestants in
the political dog fight shall have been
disabled or withdrawn egogss the con-
test. That contingency is near at
hand, and within few weeks the
people will cease to care whether
one of the Republican candidates is
an unprecedented egotist,s or the
other hopeless reactionary. In
stead, they will be called upon to de-
eide whether the Illegal trusts and
corporations shall continue to rule
this country, or whether the people
themselves shall be represented in
Congress by men who have record
for doing rather than a reputation for
bluster and talk.
When the noise and dust of the
present dog fight shall have cleared
away, the record of the Democratic
house will be pressed to the front.
and on that record the fortunes OF the
campaign will depend.
Since the Democrats have been In
power in the lower House of Congress
they have twice proposed to knock
the main prop from under the big
trusts of this country, namely, the
tariff One of these efforts was block
ed by a Republican President, Mr.
Taft, in his vetoes of the various tar
iff revision bills at the last session OF
Congress. The same bills have been
again passed by the House, and the
best authorities has it that Mr.. Taft
will again veto them.
The Democratic leaders are plan
ming to take pains to assure the peo-
pie of the country that 1t Is not OF
SO much immediate Importance to pre-
serve constitutional government IN
this country as it is to cut down the
outrageous cost of living. They Will
also point out that 1T is OF far more
pressing Importance to the people
right now to aim few well directed
blows at the special privileged class
es than it is to shout meaningless
platitudes about the policies of Abb
raham Lincoln.
The Democrats will present a con-
crete record of accomplishment and
on this record they will ask endorse
ment. They will also point out tnat
that record of accomplishment should
have been carried to successful con-
clusion had it not been for a Repub-
lican Senate and president. In other
words, principles, rather than per-
sonalities will be the issue OF the
coming campaign

STATE BOUNDARY SUIT.

The question of the boundary line
between New Jersey and Delaware has
been brought up again by the opinion
of Justice Of the Peace Smith, finding
Charles Mattson and Harry BolwelI,
the Fort Mott soldiers, guilty of vio-
lating the law by fishing with drift
or gill net after p. M. Saturday
June Sth fine of 500 and costs
was imposed.
The men at the hearing last week
were represented by Walter H. Bacon,
Assistant United States District Attor-
ney, and the States case was looked
after by Josiah T. Stryker, of the At
torney Generals Office at Trenton For
the men it was contended that they
were not on New Jersey territory, but
Mr.. Stryker asserted that they We're
in New Jersey and subject to the fish
and game laws of the State.
Attorney Bacon announces that he
will carry the case to the United
States Court

LETTER TO FARMERS
Bye F. r. Stevens.
Agriculturist, Lehigh Valley Railroad.

For the last few days have been
looking over the alfalfa fields between
CazenoVia and Cortland. In the i'm
mediate vicinity of Cazenovia the soil
is of limestone formation, and alfalfa
has been grown there very success-
fully for many years without artif-s
cial incubation, and in the main.
without the use of lime. To the
south, as we drop off the limestone
section, the so-called natural alfalfa
fields disappear, and good crops can
be produced only by great care in
preparing the field, including lime,
incubation, etc.
This IS a difficult place on which to
impress upon the farmers the absolute
necessity of inoculation, for the reason
that their neighbors to the south grow
alfalfa SO easily and without inocula-
ton. Then, again, for considerable
distance there is some lime in the soil.
and fairly good results with alfalfa
have been obtained without inocula-
ton. | have been on several fields
showing a fair stand and fairly good
color where no artificial incubation
has been applied, but the leaves are
"
in general the alfalfa is not of the
first class. At the same time, several
farmers in the same vicinity, at my
suggestion, two years ago thoroughly
lined and artificially inoculated the
soil, and there they have "a very wide
leaf of better color and more vigor-
GUS growing plant.
This fact was very apparent to the
several farmers whom ] took from
one field to the other, and it was
generally agreed that hereafter every
field in that vicinity should be artifi-
cially inoculated before being seeded.
Many reports reach us, from time
to time, of successful fields of alfalfa
in other than limestone sections,
where the field has not been artificial
ly inoculated, and an investigation of
many of these show excellent results
Many others are reported TO US thor
oughly successful, but upon exanlina-
tion they show more narrow, woody
and often yellowish leaf One of our
farmers, in the vicinity where they
are making successful stands of al
falfa without artificial incubation, re-
ports that he put out five acres of
alfalfa, inoculating only four, and that
the line between the inocnlated and
un-inoculated was clear and distinct.
and that there was not one-half as
much alfalfa on the acre of uninocu-
lated as on an sacre of the inoculated.
| think this experiment clearly proves
that every field, unless it be in the
immediate lime alfalfa section, should
be artificially inoculated before being
seeded.
This is more easily done by the
transportation of soil where soil is
handy Where it is not handy, the.
commercial cultures now prepared, if
properly handled, produce excellent
results.
incubation is not expensive. nor is
it very hard to apply. Where the
proper soil is selected and other con-
ditions are complied with. the inocu-
lation insures results, even though
occasionally it may not be absolutely
necessary. | would therefore recon-
mend inoculating every acre where
alfalfa is to be put in.

are capable of giving will popularize
the farming lands of the State and
the commercial advantages that will
result from such display cannot be
estimated New York is the central
receiving point for vast shipments of
produce, therefore it is of vital inn
portance that the farmers of our
State should commence Immediately to
arrange with the commission for
space to display specimens. 1t is de-

does make good his promises, he has
secured an asset of inestimable value

The Science of Farming.

If the worlds attention deter
mines the Importance of science,
the science of farming is receiving
deserved recognition. For the world
is certainly giving much attention to
the farm and the people who work
upon it.
This is not to be wondered at, for
upon the farm and its products de-
pend all other industries. Without
this science all other things must
fall, whereas the farmer could, if
necessary make fairly good shift
at doing without all the rest.
Knowing how is just as valuable
on the farm as in any other branch
of industry. The subject of dry
farming is an illustration very much
in point. One man experimental un-
til he learned the secret, and as a
result many people have profited.
That he learned does not seem very
wonderful, but it was the thing
needed to be known, and in the semi
arid west, where crops are being
grown by his method, they deem it
quite an achievement. 1t always
pays to study ones business. Pine
Valley Herald.
Some of the most valuable courses,
for those interested in dry farming
at the Oregon Agricultural College
are those in the agronomy depart
ment, in which soils, field crops, ir-
ligation and drainage, farm mechan-
les and farm management are con-
sidered. In each class, besides the
class room and laboratory work, the
students are given actual field prac-
tice. Experimental crops are grown
under various soil and climatic con-
ditions, and the work of the differ
ent experiment stations and demon
stration farms in dry farming re-
gions is discussed in detail.
