A NEW REGIME AT THE cape may farmstead *•. t We would ask you who reads this, whether a permanent resi- ; dent Cape May, or a summer visitor, to make a visit to the Cape May Farmstead, where improvements in all directions have been ' effected 6inee last season. Here you will see an up-to-date Dairy, : a magnificent Herd of Jersey Cattle, Tuberculin tested, and a Poultry and Duck Farm that can hardly be excelled. In addition, the herd is under the direct inspection of the Stat# Veterinarian. The Oows are groomed twice daily, and Udders are carefully washed before each milking. Each milker wears a white linen 1 suit and the Milk is drawn from the Cow into covered Steriluc Milk Pads which are furnished with a double set of strainers to 1 pjevent afiy foreign matter contaminating tbe milk. The Dairy is fitted with all known appliances to ensure the purity of tiie milk, and all mechanical work is done by electriciiy. To "take all these 1 precautions and provide tlie best appliances, lias been an enormous expense, and. why has this bffim done? so that our patrons should ' have such absolutely pure milk that it c-nu hardly be surpassed 1 no matter what source it comes from. Milk is acknowledged to Ik- ' so necessary an article of diet that no precaution taken can be too ' great t# ensure its reliability. Commencing with the first of June ' we wiM supply select family milk, with a 5% buffer fat test at ' 20c per quart. This will be supplied only in paper non-refillahle ' bottles. The nursery Milk will be sold' at 15c per quart and the " household milk at 10c pen quart. ' Speaking of the Poult K Department, we will have 3000 broil- T ers and 150$ Ducklings to supply our patrons, and the supply of 1 nevdy kid eggs unlimited.

Do not stand in doubt: but give our products a trial and we , guarantee v»u will lie perfectly satisfied. Tlie entire plant is under the practical management of < GEO. C. REA. Supt. —————— '

cape 'i i r , FIRST RESORT HAS MOST NEARLY INSULAR CLIMATE OF ANY NEW JERSEY COAST TOWN— RARtLY ER A . LAND BREEZE— FEWER CLEAR DAYS THAN AT ATLANTIC CITY. From Monday's Daily Star and Wave. The first point on the New Jersey coast to which people went to '.ajoy tne ortnn was Cape May. As early as the oj ening of the last century there were 1 •tuge lines and sailing vessels which made a business of taking visitors to this resort, l-'or many years Cape May maintained its prestige, and although at present other places have outstripped it in the number of visitors and display , of fashion, there is no other place on the New Jersey coast that possesses so nearly an. insular climate, i ' '«pe May occupies the extremity ofl j the peninsula . The ocean lies to the least and south, while the hroail lh-la- j 1 1 ware Bay stretches lo the west and j north west. Thus nearly every brcexe j is from the water, and at the "Point" , Ja land breeze is a rarity. Cape May j jCity is built «.» an island three miles] least of the point and faces the south- j east . Tlie underlying soil is gravel I with sand under the gravel beds; the, . j water supply is' now obtained from ar- j itesian wells on the mainland and pip- 1 "jed. The new sewerage sj-Btom drains, j in a large central pipe tlie contents of i which are pumped by electrical power. I into Delaware Bay, three and one-half ! miles away ; it is probably the best sys- [ | tern on tlie coast. Water supply audi ] sewerage arc difficult problems at the !> seaside, and particularly? on the low ! I and narrow outlying strjps of land on I - which many resort's are Lituatcd . The ' j position of Cape May, at a latitude j' j below 39 degrees and nearly surroundied by water, gives it an, equable cli- 1 I mate and one of considerable humidity. 1 The relative humidity ifi 1913 ranged , ] from 72.8 per cent, in November to 86 ' • y»er cent, in March. The average for 1 " the year is 60.8 per cent.-, it is thus higher than that of Philadelphia (74 : . peri cent, at 8 a.m. and 67 .8 per cent. " at 8 p.m.), and that of Atlantic City : (78 percent, the mean at 8 a.m. and ;at 8 p.m.). The mean annual tem- 1 ;perature in 1913 was 53.2 degrees F. ' or OA degrees F. higher than that of 1 •'Atlantic City. While temperatures as « high as 92 degrees F. may occur in ' summer, the record for 1913, the air is . quickly cooled as a late afternoon : breeze from the ocean sweeps landward. 1 : The nights are usually cool and afford ' a grateful relief -from the accumulated i heat of the cities, where brick dwellings radiate heat long after the sun > Comparing Cape May with Atlantic ' City it is found that there Were In 1 1913 four fewer clear days at Cape May, and 8.5 inches less rainfall. The average mean annual rainfall, however, at ' Cape May is 40.85 inches against 40.93 1 at Atlantic City. The mean daily i j range of temperature was 13 .1 degrees i F. at Cape May -and 13.4 degrees at • Atlantic fity. While the maximum ' at Cape May was 92 degrees, at At- < lantic "City it was 91 degrees in 1912, < the minima being 2 degrees and 1 degree respectively. The climate it strictly a marine climate.

The new Cape May Real Estate Company has thus far spent over three and f one-half million dollars in the making of a harbor (now -three-fifths completed) of 500 acres in extent with sn average depth of forty feet. The United States Government considered this project of such importance that it { appropriated one "and one-half million I dollars for the building of jetties, now j completed, to the entrance of the (Cold Spring) harbor. The dredging material from this operation has been puirped in and filled the lowland in the vicinity of Sewell's point and one part of this unclaimed land is now occup pied by a million-dollar hotel and cott- , p ag<^ costing as much as thirty and p thirty-five thousand dollars apiece. I, i The new Cape May Yacht Club building leoFt thirty-five thousand dollars. ,. | May is wejl provided with ho- ( I tris and cottages. It is freer from the objectionable crowds, that throng other resort", and the general' tenor of Cape May is almve that of i/.OBt places on tlie New Jersey coast. It is comfort- 0 j ably reached in one and a half hours j. j from Philadelphia . I The latitude of Oape May is3S degrees. 56 minute.*: longitude, 74 degrees, |i.">S minutes. Period of observation, ^ twenty years. Cape May beach L unexcelled . on the coast : it is broad and hard, and its ^ J descent below the water line is very j gradual. The beach is, as a rule, a I i safe one for bathing, and at the bathing hour in midsummer presents a most aniI mated and beautiful sight. There are | times when continued easterly or north- . I easterly winds roll up heavy seas, and j i it requires a certian degree of vigor to venture into the surf. Only the f I most robust can enjoy the breakers at such times. It should be borne in I ; mind that far more accidents happen to bathers of experience and overcon- v . ; fidence than to those who - indulge j moderately . After storms the gradual doqLjyity of the shore may undergo . , some alteration, and bathers during a flood tide sometimes find to their consternation that between them and the shore there is a gully of deeper water I than they are prepared to encounter, j Tliis is an occasional source of trouble, . and even experienced bathers should , never he out of reach of the batb'ing . master and his boat. GOLFER LEAVES I.^SPITAL I Gilbert Nicholls, the Wilmington golf . expert, who is well known in Cape May left the Atlantic City Hospital last Saif urday. j Mr Nicholls, it wil be remembered, , bas been confined to the hospital since i the night of July 5tb. when he was adi mitted, suffering with a broken knee cap which he received when the car I of William O. Rowland, of Jenkintown, [ Pa., in which he was riding, collided . with the automobile of D. N. Headier, • i a wealthy produce man, of Swedesboro, N. J. The cars collided at Oor- . sons Corner, while be was enroute iZ i Ocean City from Cape May.
