VIOLENT THUNDERSTORM CAUSES 1 MUCH DAMAGE TO CROPS The violent thunder* to rm of yesterday afternoon, while quite a relief after 1 the oppressive heat of the forenoon, to ' those in Cape May City, caused eongid- 1 Brable damage and inconvenience to the ' crops and farmers in the neighboring ' country towns. In many instances fields of corn were laid low And telephone fuses were blown cut. Lightning struck a tree in Fishing Creek, splitting it asunder and uprooting several smaller trees, but otherwise doing no damage to person or property. The steady downpour of rain caused ; great runouts in the roads, making travel somewhat dangerous for automobiles and wagons.

A NEW REGIME " AT THE CAPE MAY FARMSTEAD We would ask you who reads this, whether a permanent resident "3t Cope May, or a summer visitor, to make a visit to the Cape I May Farmstead, where improvements in all directions have been effected since 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 State Veterinarian. The Cows are groomed twice daily, and Udders are carefully washed before each milking. Each milker wears a white linen suit and the Milk is drawn .from the Cow into covered Sterilac Milk Paiis which are furnished with a double set of strainers to prevent any foreign matter contaminating the milk. The Dairy is fitted with all known appliances to ensure the purity of the milk, and all mechanical work is done by electricity. To take all these precautions and provide the best appliances, has been an enormous expense, and. why has this been done? so that our patrons should have such absolutely pure milk that it can hardly be suipassed no matter what source it comes from. Milk is acknowledged to be so necessary an article of diet that no precaution taken ean be too great t* ensure its reliability. Commencing with the first of June we will supply select family milk, with a 5% butter fat test at 20c per quart. This will be supplied only in paper non-refillable bottles. The nursery Jfilk will be sold at 15c per quart and the household .milk at 10c per quart. Speaking of the Poultry Department, we will have 3000 broilers and 1500 Ducklings to supply our patrons, and the supply of newly laid eggs unlimited. All ctr birds are alfalfa fed to produce that sweet and tender flesh which is so desirable to connoisseurs. We also have a large acreage" planted with all kinds and varieties of np-to-date vegetables wbich wilt^be supplied direct to yonr door daily by our large Truck Wagon. Do not ptand in donbt. but give our products a trial and we guarantee you will be perfectly satisfied. The entire plant is under the practical management of GEO. C. RE A.
