they would ask the loan of a paper
We have been informed by regular
subscribers, that frequently their
paper was taken from the office by
their neighbors, read and lost, so
that they never saw it, or, if it did
reach them, it was so old and the
news so stale that they felt no inter
est in it.
When so much of news, and con-
venIence and self respect can be
purchased for one dollar, it is a mat
ter of wonder that anyone should
borrow a paper. Our neighbor, the
NelCs and AdUertiser claims that the
whole town of Milford supplies its
elf with 600 copies of that paper and
yet we have no doubt that scarcely a
dozen Persons who can read at all
fail to know the contents of each is
sue.
Selfrespect and selfinterest, local
pride and personal manhood leave no
excuse to newspaper borrowers,
when such may purchase the sheet at
less than two cents per week.
Milford chronicle., 1883-07-27

FROM a circular letter of Mr.. G. A.
Butler of 307 Greenwich street, New
York, dated July 2lst, we quote the
following;
The pack of EvapOrated Peaches in
1882 exceeded that of any previous
year, and, Notwithstanding thatprices
of Peeled advanced from September's
lowest point % cts, up to p and 2S
cts, with exceptional small sales at 20
cts. and 80 cts, and unpeeled from 10
and u cts. up to IA and II cts. Every
thing offered on our market was closed
out almost absolutely clean by the
month of March. A few unwise and
over sanguine owners and holders de-
manded unreasonable prices for the
quality offered, and such were carried
over and sacrificed on later market
unnecessarily. Only a small portion
OF such remains, and because the sea-
son has passed, furnish the nominal
quotations seen in prices current, but
cannot influence the price of new.
Delaware and Maryland alone have
any crop that will induce ev .porators
to work. Scattered over the country
are localities where green peaches will
be somewhat sufficient to supply the
local demand. This will tend to keep
prices for the green fruit from extreme
rates. Outside of the two States mem
toned, very little of the Peach crop
will be evapOrated, from present ap-
pearances. Georgia is almost a total
failure. Virginia and North Carolina
now look for very small yield, all of
which will create a more lasting de-
mand for evaporated fruit. The Apple
crop is everywhere light, which will
add still further to the cOnsumptive
demand for Peaches.
With this state of facts there is every
thing to encourage the attempt to pro-
duce all that can be made even up to
the production OF 1852. or more with
every prospect of its being all taken at
remunerative prices especially by
those already equipped with buildings
and machines.
With reduced prices in almost all
merchandise, it is only likely that
moderate prices for all kinds of dried
fruits will prevail. 1t is however, rea-
sOnable to expect that % cts. to posi-
bly, % and 24 cts. for fancy peeled, II
to II cts. for unpeeled can be had at
the opening, and therefore owners of
orchards will DO wisely to place their |
green fruit within reach hofeVapOratOrs, |
when both will realize a reasonable |
nett value.
Apples will be scarce, and the best |
''evapOrated ring" will no doubt open
At l3 cts. and 14cts., possibly more. |
Too much care cannot be taken to have |
The fruit bleached bright, packed taste
fully, and Of fine quality.

Hot Water for Plants.

We have long advocated the use of hot water
on the roots of trees infested with insects and
worms. In our early home where it was prac
lissd, the story went that its virtues were FIRST
discovered in this way:
A certain man sold bis home, against the wish
Of bis better half. Filled with grief and rage
that she was forced to leave the trees that she
had seen planted and nurtured, she determined
that no one else should enjoy their fruits. So
she thoroughly wet the roots Of all her precious
pesch trees with boiling water. But the re.
suit was quite contrary to her expectations.
New life was impaired to the trees; the leaves
became bright green, new branches started,
and they gave every indication Of having en-
joyed their warm bath.
The story leaked out, and others were not slow
70 learn this lesson In "water-cure treatment.1
And now after having endured I1numerable
nitis and immeasurable contempts for our views.
rom people who have nevertried It, we are hap.

hority than the Gardeners Monthly. This Is
That it says:

THR Chicago Tribune evidently an
preciates the situation of its hard.
working and humble contemporaries.
This is a part of what it saws: What
tells so readily in a town or CITY as
the appearance of its paper? And
its youth or its age can as well be
determined as by a personal notice.
The enterprise of its citizens is de-
picted by its advertisements, their
iberality by the looks of the paper.
Take your home paper. It gives you
more news of immediate interest than
New York or other papers; it talks
for you when other localities belle; il
stands up for your rights; you always
have champion in your home pa
per, and those who stand up for vOu
should certainly be sustained. Your
interests are kindred and equal, and
you must rise or fall together. There
fore, it is to your interests to sub
port your home paper; not grudg-
ingly, but in liberal spirit, as
pleasure, not as a disagreable duty:
as an investment that Will amply re- |
pay the investment.
We presume no paper with any
selfrespect begs favors. They ask
that business men shall have the
fairness and discretion to advertise
their goods in the regular way and
not expect to get themselves before
he public only ,inthe way Of locals. .
That out Of the three thousand peo-
lie Of Milford for instance, who read
he local papers, a majority shall

"The Florist asks has any one tried hot water
as a restorative for sickly plants, and then pro
ceeds to say that NJ. Willermoz some time since
related that plants in pots may be restored to
health by means Of hot water. III health, he
maintains, ensues from acid substances in the
soil, which, being absorbed by the roots, act as
poison. The small roots wither and cease to act,
and the upper and younger sheOts consequently
turn yellow or become spotted, indicative Of
their morbid state. In such cases the usual rem
edy is to transplant into fresh soil, in clean pots,
with good drainage, aud isIofteu attended with the
beStIesuts. But his experience of several years
mas proved the untailing efficacy of the simpler
ireatmentwh consists in watering abundantly
with hot water at a temperature Of about IS
degrees Fahrenheit, having previously stirred the
soil Of the pots so far as may be done without in
jury to the roots. Water is then given until it
runs freely from the pots In his experiments
the water at first came out clear, afterward it
was sensbly tinged with brown, and gave an
lppreciable acid reaction. After this thorough
washing, the pots were warm, and the plants
very soon made new roots, Immediately fol-
lowed by vigorous growth.
To our mind there is a great deal it. We
know to a certainty that sickly peach trees are
often restored to vigorous health by the old.

pouring boiling water on the ground about tile

fore reaching many Of therOots. Here, however
it is believed to be beneficial by destroying par

chemically, as suggested by the extract. But,
ct the reasoning be what it may, we are willing

Extreme Seasons.

The commonly expressed opinion that thu
drOath Of last year was unprecedented in severi
ty is not correct, nor could it be attributed t.
especial cause. Secretary John Z. Russell. in
bis report to the Massachusetts Board of Agrl
culture, says in this regard:
"The earliest settlers found climate very diff
terent from that where they had acquired their
agricultural experience and precepts irregular

and necessary instrument of the present day,
was not made practicable until the beginning Of
the eighteenth century, so that we have no rec.

THE CHRONICLE has just put in
one of the largest sized Potter power
presses and we contemplate in few
weeks, enlarging to an eight page
sheet. To hasten this result and to
''Oil the ways" cf the new press there
are few people whose consciences
we would like to reach deep enough
to touch their pockets. If we well
understood the methods of raising
funds,we might request that not only
those who are in arrears for subscriD-
tiOn and job work shall promptly set
tie, but that friends may aid us by a
years subscription in advance for
themselves or for some neighbor.
Each subscribermay readily calculate
the sum due us until the end of the
current year from the date on his
paper, adjoining his address. We
hope that every subscriber will ex-
anime this date and promptly aid us
with some cash.

The arrangements for the Della
ware State fair that opens Septem
ber oath, to continue five days, are
nearly completed. Many fast horses
are expected to make the place at
tractive to all lovers of the turf
This part of the programme is the
bone of contention with many of the
farmers of the State. 1t is greatly
to be regretted that this year, when
a special invitation was extended to
the farmers and particularly to the
Changers of Delaware, that hearty
cooperation should not have been
met with.
There is. no finer, fancy stock in
the State than is owned by several
Patrons of Husbandry, many of them
having invested thousands of dollars
in registered or choice thoroughbred
stock. Some of the finest fruit is
also raised by Changers and if this
Organization had united to make
such display as many of us know
they are capable of making, the eyes
of many a visitor would have opened
in amazement; and many who think
of the Grange in halfcontemptuous
way, or never think of it at all, would
have received their first correct i'm
preston of its capabilities and ex-
tent. One does not need to attend
more than one Grange Feast, or Po-
mona to appreciate what the culina- |
ry exhibition would be. tits absurd |
for farmers to be everlastingly COM
planning in a general way that they
can not have their ''rights" and re-
fuse to assert themselves and make
their power felt when they have a
good opportunity. No State pro-
duces a greater wealth and glory of
bloom, or more supurb fruit than
does this little State of Delaware.
and no State makes a meaner Pomo-
logical or Floral exhibit.
There is surely something fatally
defective in the management of our /
State Fair or there is deplorable ,
want of enterprise and pride in the t
State. If they would come to the q
front in a body with splendid stock 4
and fruits and flowers, they would
not need to claim respect and rights.

CAPE MAY.

The effort to provide Cape May with
such attractive entertainments as shall
make it a summer residence to be de-
sired and thoroughly enjoyed, is seen
in the exceptionally fine and artistic
musical programme covering the entire
season. This prOgrammeincludes three
monster musical festivals, the first of
which occurred on the 2lst and 22nd
inst, at the Stockton, the rehearsals
being made at Philadelphia Insii-
tute, in Philadelphia, and a series
of sacred concerts on every Sunday af-
ternOOn and evening of each week dur
ing the summer at the same hotel.
These concerts are given by the cell
ebrated Germania orchestra, of Phila-
delphia, Mr.. Charles NJ. SchmitZ, lead
er. The initial concerts of the series
were given on Sunday the 8th inst, in
the grand pavilion just erected on the
Stockton lawn, and were Of the high
est musical excellence. The pro-
gramme was selected from the riches
of modern masters, Mr.Schmitz draw
ing freely from MendelssOhn, Auber,
Haydn, RossiEi, Weber, Donizetti,
Wagner, Beethoven, and others FAM
Gus in the annals of music and song.
Assisting in this magnificent enter
tainment, and giving distinguished
ecldt by their presence were the prima
donna Mile. Zelie de Lussan, SignOr
Ferrsnti, Max Heinrich, baritone,and
George d. WOodill, cOrnetist. ThOus-
ands gathered at the Stockton to listen
to and enjoy this musical feast, and |
departed with regret as the last notes |

the air. The programmes for each sue
ceeding concert will be equally rich |
and abundant in selection, and will'af |
ford equal pleasure and delight to the
vast audiences which gather on the |
board auditorium covering the lawn.
The entire arrangements for all these
entertainments at the Stock
on, are in the hands of Professor Cos

covered and developed the genius of
Theodore Thomas. His name, there

THE editor of the Smyrna Record brands the
new Early Harvest Blackberry as a humbug.
He says he has given them faithful and care
ful test that he believes them to be a pistilate
variety, as many OF the plants produced no fruit,
and others, only few blights and worthless
berries. Careful tests Of new varieties faithful
ly reported, must greatly benefit the fruit inter
ests OF the State.
