Improved Mode of Seeding Wheat and
Cu1tivating.

At the Mddlstown Fair last fall John A.
Jones, Of Wheatland" New Castle county,
exhibited wheat drill having only four
tubes instead of eight, with a shoe attach
ment or spreader to each tube of the drill
by which the wheat when being seeded is
spread in the drill-row about four inches.
He also exhibited new device to be at
tached to the same drill for cultivating the
wheat. A full description Of the same drill
and device for cultivating was given in the
TINES last fall. Mr.. Jones seeded his whole
crop of wheat, about $50 acres, by this new
process, and on last Saturday, when the
writer was on his farm to witness the ap.
pearance Of the wheat and the effect OF
cultivation, we found two cultiVators al
work cultivating the wheat. The drill
rows were full IL inches apart and the
cultivators would run but once between
these rows, scarifying or cultivating the
ground thoroughly without injuring the
wheat by cutting or covering it up. Over
the drilled rows we're protectors made O
sheet iron which prevented the soil as i
was stirred from covering the wheat so tha
when the cultivator passed over the grounC
oosening the soil, both the wheat anC
| ground presented lively and good appear
ance. Two horses were used to the drill
for cultivating and the driver was seated OF
! the drill. The whole process was an un
! doubted success, and no doubt will cause
compile revolution irt wheat seeding.
| Tho wheat looked remarkably vigorou
and healthy, having been cultivated twic
over. The quantity seeded, we were in
formed, was ! ] bushels to the acre will
about 260 lbs. of fertilizer, and with tha
quantity of seeds we thought it was rathe
too thick. 1t was thought by Mr.. JOne
and those present that 1t bushels to tn
acre would have been entirely sufficient, a
by the spreader it was scattered four inche
in the drill row and matted the groun
that width. The wheat seemed to branc
or stool beyond anything we had eve
seen. We counted twenty eight branche
from ono grain of wheat and thirty fror
another, and much of the wheat, by reaso
of branching, matted the drill rows 81
inches wide. It is Mr.. Jones intention I
cultivate his wheat over the third tim
when he will then sow his clover seed, ano
as the farmers say, "lay it by" About
! acres a day was being cultivated on a
} average, although IA acres it was elaine
could be done.
! Mr.. Jones expects to have his paten
} secured very soon, and by next fall be full
! prepared to supply the new device, whic
can be applied TO any ordinary drill, to a

THE LIQUOR APPLICATIONS.-The court seems to
have turned over new leaf at the last session at
Georgetown and if consistency of action is to rule in
the three counties is important in its bearing upon
the applications for the privilege of selling liquor
from the different sections of the county. The failure
of the Legislature to grant the demands of the people
for more effective law regulating this traffic, makes
the court aJbiter of the peace of communities and
the fortunes of individuals and its recent rulings
has more than usual significance 1t has been the
Custom of the court in few exceptional instances to
grautlcenses without taking cOgnzance ofany remon-
sranceS but at Georgetown they opened and read the
remOnstrances and Chief Justice it said stated that
if the application signed by l. or ii names if the
prominent men OF the community demonstrated
against the person having license the court would
lot grant it," This is evidence Of practical reform,
which it is hoped the court will make fixed princi-
pal in its rulings and ifso it be powerful means
of doing good through tslegtimate channel-the law

determination has been reached to inaugurate re-
form in this particular-a reform that will attach
greater dignity and character to the Bench by bring
ing it the good opinions of the mass of the people
virtually letting the better class of the citizens
community decide for themselves. and the weight
of responsibility to rest with the prominent men
of that community.
Under this ruling the man who had erected place
at Rehoboth just over the line, was refused as wa
also two applicants from Bridgeville, two from John
sons Cross Roads and one from CannOns Ferry. WI

but if the court is governed here by the ruling laiC
down in the lower court why then the license granted
must in a great degree represent the sentiment o
each community in relation thereto.

TIE Presidents VETo.-President Hayes sent in his
veto OF the Army bill yesterday. He said that if the
bill had contained other provision than those pro-
viding for the support of the army it would have had
his approval But he obectedto vital clause in this
bill which he says if adopted would deprive the civil
authorities of the United States of the power to keep
peace al Congressional elections. This the President
says concerns the entire country Each political party
has right to enjoy its Legitimate share ofpower, and
is the right of the citizen to cast unntimidated
ballot and to have it honestly counted. Experience
has shown that national legislation to provide safe
guards for free and honest elections is necessary
the right Of suffrage to the colored in the
South and prevent frauds in large cities Of the North
The Constitution authorizes such legislation. The
Fifteenth Amendment also guarantees the right of suf
age to every citizen and provides that Congress shall
enforce such guarantee by appropriate legislation
and this doctrine has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court

Of what has come to DO known as tho simonson fac

vestigation set foot in the matter. and
after some delay committee of Ave was
appointed for this purpose. Only two members
OF the committee present last night
when it was proposed to "ventilate" tho charges.
both OF whom are adhcrents OF the Simonson
party. Mr.. Frank Ethridge acted chairman and

thought Colonel Mason should have a show. He
knew of frauds having been committed but would
keep his information to himself until some future
time when n fair investigation could be had. Only

himself would not be respected by others. He then
left the room and Mr.. Ethrdge examined number
