Farm Notes.
—The wheat harvest is the busy
season of the summer, and the land on
which the wheat is grown receives but
little consideration after the crop is re-
moved. The same may be said of the
corn land. As clover is usually seeded
on wheat the removal of the wheat
«crop gives the clover the possession of
the land until next season, but if the
clover does not make a good stand,
and itis not worth retaining, weeds
will grow and produce seeds, especially
if the clover seed used was not clean.
Some farmers turn sheep on such stub-
ble fields, but after the sheep have
worked over the field the land should
be plowed to start the seeds of weeds,
and may even be plowed again with
benefit if the weeds are very thick. If
the work is done thoroughly there will
be no weeds to kill off next year, and
the land will be in better condition for
corn.
USE LIME NOW.
By plowing under a crop of weeds
and applying about 20 bushels of lime
per acre on the surface of the land
there will be a more rapid formation of
humus in the soil, as the lime assists
in this formation by its chemical ac-
tion, and it 18 to the assistance of lime
in the gaining and storing of nitrogen
in the soil that the beneficial effects of
lime are so noticeable long after its use.
Even on limestone soils the applica-
tion of freshly slacked lime proves
beneficial, as it possesses alkaline prop-
erties which differ from the insoluble
carbonate of lime existing in limestone
soils. When the stubble field is plow-
ed under and lime is being applied on
the surtace, the rains will carry the
lime downward, and, as its effects are
slow, the lime is given mcre time from
now until spring. It is better to apply
the lime at time of plowing, and itis
also better to plow during the summer
in order to kill off the weeds on the
land.
WEEDS ON CORN LAND.
The same may be said of the land
now in corn. Take off the crop and
plow it. No corn is so thoronghly
worked as to have all the grass and
weeds destroyed. It is true that but
few weeds may be seen and the land
may may appear apparently clean, but
only a few weeds are sufficient to seed
down a new crop for next year, thus
entailing the labor of their extermina-
tion at a time when work is pressing.
The late plowing permits the frost to
go down into the soil and assist in re-
ducing it, while breaking up ‘the soil
hastens the decomposition of materials
left in the cornfield. It ie when the
grass and weeds are green that they de-
compose quickly, as they are then
largely composed of water, but when
dry they sometimes remain undecom-
posed for a long time, Lime not onl
hastens the process of decomposition,
buts 01 1tselr 1004 for plants and as-
sists in promoting growth. Itis from
the stubble fields that weeds are most-
ly spread, and this should never be al-
lowed.
. ~—There is quite = loss of time dur-
ing the busy season in looking up tools
that may be wanted for use. The hoe
will be left in the fields, the spades and
shovels cannot be found, and inquiries
must be made. of the persons who used
them last, in order to find them, all of
which leads to waste of time. Have a
place for the tools and implements, and
see that they are in their proper places
after being used, which will lead to the
convenience of all who use them.
—The cow pea, also known as the
“crowder,” grows on any land that
will produce corn, and will also grow
ou land that is too poor to produce
some other crops. It is a leguminous
plant, drawing nitrogen from the ar,
the same as does clover. Itis an ex:
cellent renovating crop. Sow the seed
broadcast, or drill them in, and when
the plants are of sufficient growth plow
them under. The best period for so
doing is when the seed pods are begin-
ning to form.
—If you wish to grow large straw-
berries next year keep your young
plants of this year's setting well culti-
vated and clean. Apply about 400
pounds of mixed fertilizer per acre, and
repeat the same early in the spring.
The ground must be soft and weeds
and grass not aliowed. The propor-
tion of fertilizer may appear large, but
so will the crop next spring.
—The young steers are the ones that
pay. They should be well bred, so as
to grow rapidly. There is no necessity
for keeping a steer longer than when it
i8 three years old. The greatest gain
in weight is when they are young.
—Phosphate of lime is now a pro-
duct of iron. The phosphoric acid is
set free from the iron and combined
with lime, being in a fine powder when
shipped for use on the farm.
—When sheep are seen running
mith head close to the ground and
stamping, the fly which produces the
grub in the head is near. Put some
pine tar on the sheep's noses.
—The growth of limb, trunk, vine or
bush is the abstraction of more potash
from the soil than of any other impor-
tant mineral. Add this material to the
fruit garden.
—No animal will thrive if overfed.
It will seem to gain rapidly for awhile,
but, sooner or later, the digestive or-
gans become impaired and disease re-
sults,
— Have you cut out all the cases of
black knot in the plum trees and cher-
ry trees. This is a trouble that means
extermination if neglected,
—Color may be bnt skin deep, but it
pays to note the color in the apples
raised for market.
> Cape May.
A New Railroad to America’s Oldest Watering
Place.
Historically, and in point of natural
advantages and attractiveness, Cape
May is the most important seaside re-
gort in the United States. Its career
ae a sanitarinm and pleasuring place
dates back tothe closing years of the
last century, and, until a comparative-
ly recent period, it was virtually with-
out a rival—even Long Branch, in its
palmiest days, conceding its superior
prestige. For many decades prior to
the Civil War it was regarded as the
summer capital of the nation and up-
on its broad beach were gathered each
summer the great political and social
notabilities of the country, the intellect
and beauty of the North and the
South. In the more immediate past
it has been comparatively unheard of,
a fact due partially to the inherent
conservatism which has always dis-
tinguished it, but more largely to the
distraction of popular attention to new-
er and more vociferously ‘boomed’
resorts along the coast.
Now, however, it is believed that
Cape May is about to resume 1ts an-
cient prestige and reassert its proud
eminence among seaside watering
places. This revivification of the
grand old resort is anticipated as a di-
rect result of the increased and im-
proved railway facilities which will be
supplied by the new South Jersey
Railroad, just being completed, and
we may expect to hear a great deal of
Cape May during the Summer.
The South Jersey Railroad extends
from Winslow Junction, on the Read-
ing Railroad's Atlantic City line, to
Caye May, with branches to Sea Isle
City, Ocean City, Avalon, Wildwood
and other resorts. It has been in op-
eration to Sea Isle City for nearly a
year, and will be opened to Cape May
on Saturday, Juoe 23d, the remaining
points to be reached later in the year.
The new line to Cape May is described
as “straight as a string and level as a
table,” substantially constructed, with
a view? to the highest speed, and
materially shorter than any other road
to the Cape. The equipment is all
new. Hard-coal locomotives of the
speediest type, and cars of novel and
remarkably elegant construction, will
compose the flying express trains, and
it is promised that a very considerable
shortening of the time will be effected.
The Philadelphia stations of the new
road are the Reading railroad ferries,
at Chestout street and . South street
whazves, and through tickets to Cape
May by the South Jersey railroad
route will be gold at the principal sta-
tions of the Reading, Baltimore &
Ohio, and New Jersey Central Rail-
roads.
The Decadence of Man.
But where are our men? Where is
the chivalry, the truth and affections
the earnest purpose, the plain living,
high thinking and noble sacrifice that
make a man? We look in vain among
A on fete aang
ciation of these qualities.
‘With the younger men all that is usu-
ally cultivated is that flippant smart-
ness which is synonymous with cheap-
ness. There 13 such a want of wit
among them, too, such a lack of variety,
such monotony of threadbare subjects
worked to death! Their ‘comic’ pa-
pers subsist upon the repititions of those
three venerable jests, the mother-in-law,
somebody drunk and an edifying decep-
tion successfully practiced by an un-
faithful husband or wife. As they have
nothing true so they have nothing new
to give us, nothing either to expand
the heart or move us to happy mirth.
Their ideas of beauty threaten always
to be satisfied with the ballet dancer’s
legs, pretty things enough in their way
but not worth mentioning as an aid to
the moral, intellecutual and physical
strength that make a man. They are
sadly deficient in imagination, too;
that old fallacy to which they cling,
that because an evil thing has always
been, therefore it must always con-
tinue, is as much the result of
want of imagination as of the man’s
trick of evading the responsibility of
seeing right done in any matter
that does not immediately affect his
personal comfort. But there is one
thing the younger men are specially
good at and that is giving their opin-
ion ; this they do to each other's admi-
ration until they verily believe it to be
worth something. Yet they do not
even know where we are in the history
of the world. —Sarah Grand in North
American Review.
Ln
Finger Nails Like Bird Claws.
To what extremes physical deforma-
tion, for the sake of complying with
certain fashions or as the fulfillment of
ascetic vows, can be explained by Dr.
I. Ranke of Germany in his recently
published anatomical treatise entitled
“Der Mensch.” He demoustrates
that in all lands certain forms of mal-
practice have been induiged in. In
old Peru. for instance, little children
were placed under a head press, and
their scalps were shaped oblong. This
was especially the case with the daugh-
ters of the nobles and with the mem-
bers of the royal families. The climax
is reached, however, in the case of the
Chinese ascetic who is get apart as a
boly man to serve in the josshouse,
who does not perform any manuel la-
bor and permits his finger nails, with
the exception of those on his index
finger, to grow several inches long.
Finally they become entangled and re-
semble somewhat the claws of an old
bird.— New York Press.

——Do you read the WATCHMAN,
Why So Many Chess Players Are Jews.
From the New York Sun we take the
following : “A writer of a Jewish
periodical asks why it is that the best
chess players in the world are Jews.”
This question allow me to answer in
the following way : Gambling is a vat-
ural passion planted ia almost every
human breast. Itshows itseltas an ir
resistible instinct in the little child.
Betore he ges intelligence sufficient to
choose between right and wrong, be:
tween good and evil, he feels a desire
to win something which costs him
nothing from his little playmate, and
he induces him to gamble—they play
‘marbles! When older the price of
marbles does not satisfy his gambling
lust. He aspires to something higher.
He wants to win reality. He wants
money, a thing that possess purchasin
power, to buy candy with, and he an
bis playmate toss up for pennies.
When the youth advances and reaches
a higher age and becomes a newsboy
he gives the reins to his gambling dis-
position, and he plays “craps.” So
; when wesee men who play injudicious-
ly cards for high stakes or bet on races
or on elections to the detriment of
their fortune we only see before us
the graduates who began this exercise
in their childhood. You will, however,
hardly ever—at least very sedlom—
see a Jewish child who has outgrown
the marble game, tossing for pennies
on the street, much less playing
“craps”. The Jewish boy, if he feels
driven by his instinct to give vent to
his gambling disposition, looks on a
game of chess. He plars chess instead
of craps or poker, and as the percent-
age of Jewish chess players is in con-
sequence greater, so is the chance
greater of the best chess players in the
world being Jews. :
Princess Tom, of Sitka, is prob-
ably the richest woman in Alaska.
She is an extensive trader and is known
all over that country. She wears thir-
ty gold bracelets made of $20 gold
pieces. At one time she had three
husbands; but when she became a
Christian she gave up two of them.

HH &qes THE IDEA
OF THE NON-PULL-OUT BOW
The great watch saver. Saves the
watch from thieves and falls—ecan-
not be pulled off the case—costs
nothing extra.
The bow has s groove cn each
end. A collar runs down inside
the pendant (stem) and fits into
the grooves, firmly locking the
bow to the pendant, so that it can-
not be pulled or twisted off.
