comes to its fullest perfection. There are al
ready large numbers of trees in bearing con- |
dition, and the fruit-canning business must
become very extensive and lucrative, in addi-
ton to that of selling in the current market.
To carry on the trucking business with best
success, it is desirable that trucking assocla-
tons be formed, employing reliable agent
in the city market, to see that good sales are
made, and the vessels in which truck is sent
be returned without damage or delay. The
railroad authorities have pledged themselves
to favor such companies by putting down the
tariff to the lowest possible rate. And there
is daily evening market train, so that truck
can be early in market the next morning.
And every other practicable facility will be
granted, to encourage this business. Let,
then northern truckers, acquainted with the
business, 20 to Delaware, and they can lead
the city market and make themselves Tor
tunes. Men of moderate means, with ten or
twenty acres of land, properly managed, can,
in this business, make enough in few years
to purchase several large farms. Hol then,
for Delaware truck farms.

ready and profitable MARKET Delaware is one
of the older States, but until the Delaware
railroad was constructed, the central and
southern parts of the interior of the State
were shua in from communication with mar
ket, and hence there are still large quantities
of virgin land more or less heavily wooded
and timbered, whose trees are 70 bedelled,
and whose soil developed by the hand OF IN
J dustry, Much wood and timber are still
found along and near the railroad. A large
and profitable business is made OF getting out
ship timber for Government; and the railroad
is constantly demanding wood for fuel and
ties for the track, of white and black oak; and
for these they pay rsmuneratiye prices. There
is plenty of cedar and chestnut for fencing
= posts and rails; and good business could be
: done in making cedar and pine shingles
There is some pine large enough to be sawed
| into boards and abundance ofoak, Consider
able tracts of such wooded and timbered lands
are for sale at reasonable rates.
! IL. Is there much ,oater.poicer for mats ana
t manufactured There are numerous mill-seats
Q with flour and 'sas-miiis in operation, and
r much unused water-power. Some of the mill
S streams are durable, and some fail for a few
r weeks in summer. There are several mills
and unused mill-seats and water-powers Of
t fered for sale at reasonable prices. Steam
n power may also be used to advantage, as fuel
!.
k is abundant and cheap.
IL. What kinds Of manqfactstre can be made
: profitable h, Delascares Saw-mills, whether
n run with water or steam-power, are, when
= properly managed, very profitable. And
y with an influx ofpopulation calling for build
ing lumber, there will be an increased demand
3 for saw-milIs. In the new village sites select
L ed, at least two or three new saw-mils will b.
IS needed. There will also be demand fol
v planning and sash and blind factories, ant
d they will do profitable business. Turning
st factories may also be made very remunera
j. tive. Black gum the best material for Wagon
ID hubs, is very abunuant; and large number
IN of hubs are now being sawed and sent ava,
a. in the rough blocks for government and gen
H. eral USE These could all be turned wher
I'd they are sawed more cheaply than in the city
SC and in transportation, expense would be save
"a in weight and bulk.
" Spokes could be turned with the same ad
an vantage. Axe-helve turning would also pa
hit well. Blocks of hickory are now sawed an
nd sent to Connecticut, and there made into axe
he helves, and then sent back to be sold in Deli
les ware. Would it not save much cost to hay
Is, them made where the woods grows in abur
all dance? Agricultural factories are already j
wo profitable operation, but they are demande
DIS and would do good business in several ne
,ly places. There might also be several new tai
Die neries supported. Soap factories would ais

is muck or decayed vegetable matter are deposi
vn ed in basins along the many creeks an
no branches of this State, in some instances 81

,b- and combined with other ingredients, it is
not cheap and valuable fertilizer. And an esta
ere lishment for the purpose in Delaware wou
nut do large and profitable business.
mo One of the most eligible locations for Il
NO purpose is Canterbury, where there there is
mo- deep and rich bed of mnck, within few hui
an. dred yards Of the station, and immediate
ful along the railroad, for sale on reasonab
bic terms. There is also at hand plenty of 10
,o;l land, wood to be burned into charcoal al
