No MORE HARD TIMES If you will
stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich
food and style, buy good, healthy food,
cheaper and better clothing; get more real
and substantial things of life every way,
and especially stop the foolish habit Of en-
ploying expensive, quack doctors or using
so much of the vile humbug medicine thar
does you only harm, but put your trust in
that simple, pure remedy. Hop Btters;
that cures always at a trifing cost, and you
will see good times and have good health.

As Mr.. John Proud, who resides al
Rockland is about to move to his farm
near Kennett Square, his friends deter.
mined to capture him before he could
get away. Accordingly on Wednesday
evening as he and his family were sit
ting in the parlor, footsteps were heard
without, when his son proposed to
bolt the door, but before this could be
done, they we're completely surrounded
by host of friends. After greetings
had been exchanged the young folks
took possession of the parlor, where
they amused themselves with various
games until about ten o'clock when all
we're invited to partake of refreshments.
After doing justice to the good things
set before them they proceeded back to
the parlor where some very good music
was executed. The party then ad-
iourned, all feeling satisfied that II. had
been an evening well spent.

A Letter In Favor OF the Industry
and Answering the Communtca-
tfOu Of "a Farmer"

A Letter In Favor Of the Industry.
and Answering the Communtca-
ttou OF "a Farmer." "a
MEssRs. EDITORS ALLOW me space
for q little friendly criticism on "A
Farmers" communication In your
Wednesdays issue. The charges he
makes against his acre Of sugar bssts
are at unusually high rates for farm
work. Take for instance the charge
for horses, $l.0o per day each, count
ing at that rate horse would be worth
ct least 5000 q year to his owner, for he
Is worked, l presume, not less than
200 days. In most parts OF the country
there is no trouble In gettinga man
and two horse team for $3.50 per day.
That is what 10 paid for work Oh the
roads, and prices for public work are
proverbially high. Fifty cents day
per horse Is ample allowance for the
work Of the regular farm horses. Your
correspondent says that he paid men
$l.25 per day for thinning. because II
'scomes in harvest time" II he profits
| by experience, he will probably plant
earlier this year and thin sooner, thus
avoiding harvest wages. In all the
estimates that have seen Of the cost
Of raising beets, the growers have made
the invariable and very unfair mistake
Of charging against the crop the high
est rates for their regular farm hands,
implements and teams.
Now suppose "a Farmer" tries fgpr'
ing in the same way on his corn crop
and see how he comes out. | risk my
reputation as a prophet in predicting
that he will find the debit side Of the
account $40. 90 ahead for every acre Of
corn he has planted, and his land will
not be left in half as good condition al
after the beet CROP. We might approx
mate the cost of his corn crop by sub
tracing from the estimate for his beets
about $2.0 for seed; 81 90 for drilling;
$40 for hoeing and thinning, and $500
for hauling. Total $1,000, which sub
tracted from $64. so leaves $4S.50 as the
cost Of the crop. so bushels Of corn is
good yield (the average in Delaware
Is not much over Is bushels,) which al
IS cents bushel gives $3.50 as the
return for the crop. Loss $2l.00. This
estimate is quite as favorable to thu
corn crop as" farmers" estimate tc
his beet crop.
| think our friend has abundant
cause to be satisfied with his first years
experience in beet growing. II he sitt
down in a judicial frame of mind, with
pencil and paper, and figures awhile
on his other crops, he will agree that
his beets heat them all "by large
majority" Let him try again thif
year as see he intends doing, work.
ing by the best light he can get on the
ubject-ploughing right and manur
ing right, and he will raise more thar
Is tons to the acre, for which the Della
ware Beet Sugar Company will pay hin
| 500 per ton If he can work IL pei
cent of sugar into them, a result thai
many farmers obtained last year.

THE ICE CHOP.
The Outlook I'm Maine and ON the
Hudson.

L
Hudson.
According to the representations o
the principal officers OF the Ice comp an
les In New York the outlook for tn,
coming summer Is serious one fo
CONSUMERS. On the Hudson there hal
been very little ice cut, none over sil
or seven inches thick, and at the lowe
points on that river, and upon Rock
land Lake, none of any account. Al
the supply on hand now exists, so fal
as can be learned from the companies
there Is less than there was in 1870
yet in that year the prices ran as higl
as sl6 per ton for delivery at the bridge
butchers paid 81 per 100 weight; hotell
&20, and at one time $25 per ton; anc
families, buying in small quantities $50
per ton. Dispatches from Maine say
that there are 10e, 200 tons cut on thu
Kennebsc river. and probably as muct
more elsewhere in the State, uncon.
tracted for and available. Dealers
there and in Nova Scotia are unwilling
to offer prices now, and refuse to con
tract of any stipulated figures for fu
turs delivery. One contract was mad,
yesterday by man from Yonkers foI
900 tons of Maine ice at the rate 0
s5 per ton, according to bill Of lading
for speedy delivery. The thing to b.
most feared is that the companiess may
deem 1t to their interest to handle less
Ice at very high price than greater
quantity, with enlarged labor expen
diture, at a more moderate rate.
Mr.. Clay, President Of the Knicker.
booker Ice Company says that his com
pany have cut great deal of ice on
the upper Hudson and at Schuylerville
but their supplies from Lake Meahagh
and Rockland Lake-where they have
formerly cut l40, 900 tons each winter
have entirely failed them. summe,
prices will not be determined before
the 1st of April, when the cost can bs
accurately known and the supply in the
market measured.
William G. schenck, President of the
Consumers Ice Company, says:-We
have to look to- Maine,for most Of our ice
this year. We have already stored
80, 900 or 10000 tons in our five houses
OF South Gardiner, on ths Ksnnebet
river and of course expect to have much
more. At Germantown we have lef
over from last year some 5000 tons, bu
the house which contains that has ,
capacity Of 10000 tons, and we hav'
not been able to put pound in it thi'
winter. Of course we are buying larg'
quantities in Maine as all the companies
are, but none of us intend to pay out
rageous prices, such as will preclude
our selling here. The Maine men ice
cutters and carriers, both think they
have US by the throat now."
M. F. Winch, President Of the New
York Ice Company says:--There ha:
been no ics put up this winter this sidt
of Catskill, and not much beyond thai
on the Hudson. There is no more hop,
of cutting any, and we have taken thu
ice shoes off our horses there, and laiC
up the machinery. In all we hade per
haps $4,000 tons Of our own cutting, a
against $4,000 that We should have t
meet the demands upon us. We hav
to rely upon Maine for the majo
portion of our supply"
