The railroads are in the public service — your service. This army 01 employes is in the public servicey-your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes.

A 100 million dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (lets than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per cent advance in all freight rates. The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tribunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settlement of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by reference to the Interstate Commerce Commission. This offer has been refused by the employes', representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Government determine this issue?

I hear the guns a growtia' from the ocean to the bay. And you might think theee was war times in the good old U. S. A The shrapnel tears the sky apart and six inch rifles roar; We're boomin' land— and boomin' guns down here along the shore! Old Cape May County has her storms (they go some on the Cape:) The lightning dazzles of yer eyes while thunders bump and ecrape; And e'en the very ocean stills to watch the jamboree — When Hatt'ras storms sweep up the coast and smite the bay and sea. And yet, for all the elements fling upon the Cape, tis said, There's something in those growlin' guns that makes you duck yer head. It is as if the Thing we feared at last had reached our land. And set us plowin' up the scene with guns on every hand. The farmers say the hens wont lay and sett in' eggs won't hatch, Because the shootin' jars the earth and addles every batch! The boatmen have to up and run just when the tide is flood, Because the shrapnel scatters so and showers 'em with mud! And many a proud sojourner in the wilds of old Cape May, He up and asts, "what's zat 1 hear — that •bingo' thataway!" Tis clams and 'isters playin' tag abaft the deadly Rips; Where many a man goes down in trains — what don't go out in ships! 1 'low there's some attraction in the whinin' snarl of guns, (One test in every hundred shells — the Bethlehem order runs;) If one from every hundred works and hits the range up fine, The case is weighed and then O-K'd. — 'bon voyage for ninety-nine! I "low they make some music— do them rifles by the sea — What if they rock our bungalows and slam incessantly t . Just so they shoot 'ejn up the bay and clear the trolley poles — But if they don't — Good Night — for we'd be shot plumb full o' holes!

T'aint- eyery city 'long the coast can 3 stage a cannonade, To lease the bnnch of tourists in the Boardwalk dress parade. If we only Had a submarine — to shoot a little bull — ( But why, oh why a submarine — with l our lee scuppers full ? GEORGE CARPENTER CONNOR.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA FIRE BLIGHT HERE 1 AGAIN THIS SEASON 1 A more or less general out- | break of fire blight has again made its appearance thruout the county being most severe in closely plsmt- ; ed orchards of apples and pears it is also more severe in orchards affected last year and in which the ' diseased parts and cankers were not pruned out. This disease cannot be influenc- ' ed by spraying; the only satisfactory remedy is .to cut out the diseased parts. In catting out af- • fected branches during the growing season be sure to cut well below the point where the diesease seems to stop; otherwse the spread of the blight in that particular branch will not be checked. If all the remaining diseased areas can be cut out and burned ' during the dormant season there will be no outbreak in the spring. 1 Of course this cannot be done but systematic efforts will go a long ' ways towards it. If the work can be done in the autumn before the foliage drops; so much the better as the effected areas are more eas- . ily located. The shears or knife with which the cutting is done should be dis- 1 infected after every cut to prevent 1 any germs from being spread to healthy peaches; otherwise the cutting may really spread the disease _ from branch to branch. For this disinfection the solution of format) lin (1 part to 20 parts of water) is used. A^loth or sponge dipped in the material may be used to wipe the shears or it may be carried in a can and the shears dipped into it. , With winter work all affected parts that have been cut off should be gathered and burned. This practice is not so important in the summer work since the parts removed are soft and soon dry out so 1 that Hie bacteria is killed. 1

CLOVER SEED The experience of many farmer* sowing Crimson Clover seed last 1 year, was not very pleasing, owing I to a poor quality of sed that was , thrown upon the market, by many retailers. t Thousands of bushels, testing less than 5 per cent germination, , were sold and planted, resulting in a stand that was of no value whatsoever. j It costs just as much to prepare the soil and sow the seed for poor j quality crimson clover, as it does for good and the results are not so t pleasing. The importations of low grade j crimson clover sed are very heavy and a lot of sed has been held over from last year, which will be offerB ed for sale to farmers of Cape May County. Oft! t No farmer can afford to sow poor crimson clover seed, as it is t dear at any price. The proper soitltion to this difficulty is to have g your seed tested before planting time. ( Samples wil be tested free of e« charge if sent to the Seed Labratory of the New Jersey- Agricultural Experiment Station, New Brunswick, N. J., or it can be testd ed at home. " A satisfactory home test can be made by placing 100 seeds, between layers of moistened cloth or blotting paper. Good seed should test about 90 per cent germination, and seed showing les than this d shonld be seeded according to the results of the test. d This office advises an early purchase of crimson clover seed from a reliable dealer, and to have samples tested before planting.
