The use Of Golfer reduces the draft materially
particularly on tough Soils clover sod and the like.
Some farmers claim that the only f1rstclass
blowing that can be done is with the walking
pillow. but have seen some of the best blowing
done with sulky pillow. There is not much diff
ference in the draft. A sulky pillow carrying
man will be about easy a team walking,
because the friction of the mold board Of the
walking pillow is eliminated to some extent
The draft Of the walking pillow depends largely
upon the way in which it is set. II properly
adjusted with a steady pull SO that the heel or
wing does not press too heavily against the
soil, the pillow will run easily. smoothly and with
very little attention from the plowman. have
seen the men follow the pillow round after round
without even touching the handle, except at the
turning point
Another important thing in blowing is to have
the width Of the furrow Just right. II the plow
is set to take larger land than it turn
over properly It will leave much vegetation I'M
covered. and the field will be ridgy. The pillow
should be set to exactly cut and cover all that 1t
enters. and no more When a pillow runs properly
1t should set exactly level.
No man is a good farmer unless he Is first of
all good plowman Upon the skill with which
he plows his fields depends to a considerable
extent the facility with which he can cultivate
his crop. and. in fact. its yield.
The question OF deep or shallow blowing is one
which must be studied by every man, and
adapted to the needs of his soil and his crop.
Deeply plowed soil contains moisture longer
affords better home for fertilizer and all kinds of
plant food, is more easily cultivated. and is al
ways to be desired.

NEW JERSEY PEOPLE
LIKE BEACHWOOD
Neighbors Appreciate The Trib-
une's Development of New
Shore Resort.

Appreciation of Beachwood, The
Tribune's development on the New Jer-
sey coast, is not confined to purchasers
of lots at this convenient new summer
resort. Newspaper comment in the
vicinity is favorable, and one hundred
Toms River people and their families
are grateful to The Tribune for the
employment that has been offered dur
ing the winter. THE New Jersey
Courier" expressed the sentiment OF
the community in a recent article.
THE New York Tribune" the
Courier" adds, was most fortunate
in securing this tract of land, for no.
where along the New Jersey coast from
Jersey City TO Atlantic City was there
an undeveloped tract with water front
age possessing all the advantages that
Beachwood enjoys"
THE Courier" also calls attention to
the practical completion of the hotel,
dining room and railroad station. The
last named structure is conveniently
situated at the intersection of the
tracks of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and the Pennsylvania. The
yacht club building is almost finished,
and the bathing pavilion will be ready
when the surf calls.

Cotton was somewhat irregular yes

tapered off on a comparatively mouei

yanced sharply, with the close STRONG
nj net gain of from II to 10 points.

and reports that foreign governments
were placing large orders Tor goou'

Oficc indicating that cotton would not
be nlaced on the contraband list might
help the export situation may also nase e
inspired some buying, and for time
,boro was ouite an active demand from
Wall Street, Southern and Western
sources. ,r
In most local trade circles, however,
tho british statement as to contraband
was not considered as fresh FACTOR
or as in any way eliminating present
obstacles in the export trade, and the
market soon eased off under active
nroft taking and scattered selling for a
reaction. In some quarters, indeed, II
seemed that the continued good weather

Private cables attributed the advance

WHO'S WHO IN THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT

Charles A. Formosa, inspector,
10th district, Brooklyn, Joined the
police force in 1888, became a de-
tective sergeant in 1895, served

OTTAWA SENDS N. Y.
S7,OOO,OOO IN GOLD
Shipment to Lazard freres a
Record-Ascribed to Favor
in Trade Balance.

After three weeks, in which no gold
has come from Canada. it was an
nounced Yesterday that Lazard Freres
had engaged s7OOO,OOO at Ottawa for
sb;nment TO New York. This is the
largest single consignment from Can
ada in the memory of Wall Street
The magnitude of the present ship
ment is attributed to the large accu-
mutation of balances in favor OF TINS
market during the cessation IN the
movement of the yellow metal TO THIS
country.
As the previous gold imports from
Ottawa to New York this year are un-
derstood to have been largely for ac-
count of the Bank of France the let-up
in the movement was attributed to the
recent fotation Of the S50,O00,OOO issue
of French treasury bonds, in addition
to the impaired condition Of the Bank
Of England's gold reserve.
The determination of the English
bankers to permit the 100000 ship
ment follows closely the receipt of over
$4,000, 900 gold by the Bank Of England
on Wednesday, which is believed TO
have emanated from Russia. Bankers
think it probable that there will be
other shipments from Russia during
the next few days to protect its ex-
change position, which has not re-
ceived the relief that would have re-
suited by an early opening up of the
Dardanelles and the consequent release
of large quantities OF Russian wheat.
Yesterdays engagement of gold
brought the total engaged for import
from all quarters since the beginning
of the year up to S48,975 700, of which
over 100000 has been taken from
Canada. Exchange rates were slightly
firmer, demand sterling being quoted at
7q2s
