NEW REsoRT.-Last year there ap-
peared in the upper circles of our Pen
insuIar town society, general desire
to go to some new resort for the sum-
mer vacation and as something simple
and comfortable was the main object
in view, there sprang up at "Kitts
Hammock" on the Delaware bay
shore, quite settlement of the best
citizens of Dover. Comfortable cot
tages were erected, driven wells put
down, and home comforts enjoyed for
several weeks by the briny deep. Now
the good people of Milton and George
town are seriously contemplating start
ing another settlement of the above
character at Broadkiln Beach. The
place is only a few miles above Lewes,
Del, and the bathing is splendid
There is plenty of fine fishing, crab
bing and cunning at that place, and

ment according to their own sweet

This was done to sell our goods and
to give the public the opportunity
to buy from large stock of goods,
with fine assortment, at city prices.
By a great many customers this is
appreciated, but quite a number Of
persons who take advantage of the
low fares are no benefit or help, be-
cause they do not buy Of us. They
like the ride and are glad that Treat
charters the train, so they can
travel so cheap, transact some pri-
vate business and visit their friends
in Georgetown; but they seem to
think we are engaged in a charity
entertainment and can give some
thing for nothing. Now the public
who enjoy the benefits of these ex-
cursion rates have a duty 20 sustain
us in return with their patronage.
We cannot afford to continue these
excursions unless we are sustained;
"all give and no take soon makes
Jack a poor boy" Now, in order to
protect ourselves and those custom
ers who desire to trade with us, we
have made the following arrange
ment with Passenger and Traffic
Manager, A. Brown, of the d. M.
and V. railroad: Their agents at
the different stations on their line
will sell our excursion tickets as
usual. The fare from Lewes and
intermediate stations to George
town and return will be so cents
Berlin and intermediate stations
to Georgetown and return, so
cents ; all stations below Berlin to
Franklin City to Georgetown and
return, 81. These tickets will not
be good to return unless stamped
by us at our store at Georgetown.
We will stamp them, and at the
same time repay to the holder one

USE OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.


Enron "souruERN PLAETER' :-As supple
mentarv to the article Of "FaFmer," In your De-
cember number, on Commercial Fertilizers vs.
Farm Manures - beg leave to suggest very briehy
the method Of using commercial fertilizers partie-
ularly for grain and grass crops, from which the
most satisfactory results have been obtained IN TINS
section.
Itisa well established fact that, under the NEST
favorable circumstances. the best possible result
to be derived from the use OF guanoes applied di-
rsctly to the wheat crop, gives too small percent
age upon the necessary outlay to warrant the gen
eral or extended use in this way; as IN the Pied
mont counties, with a recurrence OF such seasons
as we have had fer the last four or iVo years. I'M
less we can adopt some more economical method
their use. as a direct agency for procuring pay
ing crop Of wheat, had better be abandoned alto-
gether. believe the experience, OF those OF Us
in this section who have tried IT. proves that TINS
better plan has been discovered.
Among the "fertilizers" enumerated by your
correspondent (which have been tested and found
to be Just such as they are represented" notice
the Orchila Guano, ard it isparticulary In regard
TO this that ask just small space in your Journal
In the spring Of 1888. induced partly by the re-
ports Of some Maryland farmers and partly at the
suggestion Of the Orchillas agent in this county
tried the following plan; Immediately oeiore
narrowing down the land, preparatory to planning
corn L powed broadcast on seven acres OF land
three hundred and nfty pounds Of orchia per acre;
planied and cultivated the corn as usual and IN
spite Of the serisus drouth OF the summer made
very fair crop-certainly double as much to the
acre as was obtained from other lands OF IKE
character with similar cultivation, on which no FER
tilizer was used Last fall QsS3) this land along
with the balance Of my corn laRd, was seeded TO
wheat. and I can say with absolute certainty ihat
this plat gave the best yield any on my place,
though no additional fertilizer was used; while on
the other portion applied three hundred and nity
pounds Of the same guano per acre when the wheat
was seeded. notice no difference in the stand or
general appearance OF the clover on these lands,
there being good stand with vigorous growth on
all.
Last spring used the same guano in the same
way; only making the application earlier, and am
satisfied, from actual experience and the testimony
OF others to obtain the very best results
ially on the corn crop, the application should be
made lust as soon after Christmas as the weather
