say whether the mixing OF this bean
with the navy bean Is a deliberate
attempt to poison people or whether
some speculator is doing Il.

WOLF CREEK MAN ADVISES
ATTENTION TO DARr|Me

Editor Courier:
In these days of intensified farm
ing, high taxes and high cost of
everything. II strikes one the farm
ers should pay more attention to the
merits or lack Of merits OF their dairy
herd.
Driving through this country. one
is struck by the absence Of cows
showing any evidence Of good dairy
conformation. Cows that will not
give over 5000 pounds OF milk test
ing around four per cent are more In
evidence that cows producing 5000
pounds Of milk that should test five
per cent. yes 10 to one. A good Jer-
sey COW can be bought for what two
OF these grade critters" will bring
when sold for beef and she will make
moro actual profit for her owner
than a half q dozen such animals.
Good pure bred Jersey bulls can be
purchased at beef prices right now
and bred to these same grade cows
will produce a heifer that will pay
the farmer who Is willing to care
for her decently a good deal more
than her dam. We have tried II out
right here in Josephine county and
We can't afford to keep anything but
good pure bred cows and Jerseys in
particular.
We weigh our milk every milking
II Is a pleasure to do II. not task.
We test them once or even twice a
month and II Is a simple calculation
to ascertain Just what each COW IL
doing. There Is no use working for
a worthless COW any more than for
the farmer to go out and donate his
labor to the public. He wouldn't
think OF doing the latter but LOT
OF farmers are giving their labor and
crops to cows that don't pay for their
feed. let alone any profit.
We found we had some boarders
when we started keeping records and
they were handsome young cows too
They went to the butcher. not to Q
neighbor. Their places were filled
by registered Jersey heifers that pro.
duced enough butter In their first
year to more than pay for themselves
and they are doing better this year
We believe that the Jersey Is tn,
COW for this country for we dom
have luxuriant pastures such as some
breeds require to do their best. The
Jersey is a good fustler and will pa,
her owner more for what he feed
her than any other breed. This ha,
been demonstrated time and again
We have backed up our judgment II
this respect by adding two choic,
registered Jersey cows to our small
herd and having a richly bred hui
OF the same blood lines. we expec
to raise some more real cows ant
that means Jerseys.

CARS
RUN IN few DAYS

it is now expected that trolley cars
will be running from Pennsgrove
through to Pennsville within a few
days. Cars have already been in oper-
alton for several months to Plant No.

yond Carneys Point but bad weather
and recent rains and thaws have pre-
vented the completing Of the ballast
ing Of the roadbed on through to
Pennsville.
An inspection trip was made last
week by officials of the trolley COM
pany over that end of the line, which
leads to the general belief that cars
will soon be running all the way to
the Pennsville bridge. Beyond Penn
vile, there Is a lot of grading and
filling 10 do so that tho line probably
will not be in full operation all the
wav 10 Salem much before spring.
The trolley harm Just ouside OF
Pcnnsville Is completed and will soon
be put into use. Travel on the cars
on the Pennsgrove end Of the line is
quite heavy
