EDITORIAL NOTES.

NEXT WEEK.
Mr. Hopes second article on the Gu
ture of Fruit, is not in type, in time for thi,
weeks issue, and Is laid over to next week
KENT Co. CLUB.
We present very full report of the
proceedings of the Kent County Farmers
Club, at Dover, on Saturday. 1t contains
much practical matter.
SUGGESTION.
The gentleman who writes us second
brief but valuable suggestion on the carriage
OF series, from Somerset county, Maryland,
could, we think answer the question of Mr..
Williams, of New York, printed last week,
concerning Strawberries, and their period OF
bearing. Will he not favor NIr. Williams,
ourselves, and our readers?
No APPROPRIATION.
We regret to notice that our Pennsyl-
vania Legislators, in passing the appropra-
tion bill, have struck out the item of 81. 900
asked for to provide implements and machip
cry for the Experimental Farm. This is
penny wise, but very pound foolish, for the
comparatively small amount would have
been of great service, and the farm can III
get along with out the machinery, and I'M
plements.
