ITEMS FROM HARMAN,s.

1867 he ladies Of Ridge Chapel
M. E. Church South near this place
held lawn party in the grove con-
nected with the Church on Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, Sep.
TENDER l4th and 18th for the benefit
OF the parsonage, which was well at
tended and grand success. Among
the ladies who took prominent parts
were Miss Emma Shipley who rep
resented the followers of Isaac Wal.
tons tribe, and judging from the
numerous "bites" at her tempting
hook" she was more successful than
the ordinary fisherman. Miss Nora
Shipley presided over the ice cream
table, and Miss Eva Shipley, the con.
fectionery table Miss Mamie Walter
represented "Rebeckan at the well
aud dealt out refreshing draughts of
cool lemonade to the thirsty disciples.
The festivities were continued the
next day, in a fishing party at
Curtis Bay, by number of young
men in the neighborhood in compli-
ment to the young ladies'. Among
the gentlemen who took an active
part in the affair were Messrs. James
e. Phelps. James w. Shipley, Geo.
W. Sbipley, Edward Kelly, and
others. A regular fish dinner was
served on the shore, and delightful
time was spent. Altogether the az
fair was one of great enjoyment and
a handsome sum was realized for the
parsonage of the church.
An avenue is being made fully thir-
ty feet wide, leading to and from the
station at Harman's which is being
shelled by the county. This will not
only be great improvement to the
place, but will acd considerably to
the value of property at the railroad
station.
The crops are pretty much all gath
cred with the exception of few late
varieties OF peaches, and vegetables.
While the crops have not been very
large, prices have been good.
The store-room of Messrs. War
field Il Durham was broken iuto on the
18th of August, and between SIS and

has acted detective since the robbery
and has attended every public gather
ing eadeavoring to get some clew to
the robbery. A few days ago suspi-
cion pointed 10 colored man named
Walker, who was employed 10 this
neighborhood during the berry season,
and shortly after the the robbery he
got into. a difficulty here, and was
lodged in our Jail, where he served a
sentence of thirty days. 1t was while
in Jail clew was got upon him as
the party who robbed Mr. Warfeld's
store, which was followed up and led
to his arrest. MIR. Warfeld left here
for Annapolis to identify the goods
stolen, and we learn he has fully
identified several of the articles as his
property. Walker is represented as
bad character, aud it is to be hoped
that this community have gotten rid
of his presence. ROVER.

the stage that tailors have very red

stage does nor, in this respect, hold the

have fat bodies and fat purses.

Feeding Grain to Fowls.

One bushel of corn, or its equivalent
in other food. will make nine pounds Of
live poultry. or seven and one-tenth
pounds of dressed poultry, or twelve
and one-half pounds of eggs. One has
only to weigh his pullet at six months
old to know how much money he has
expended for her, and if he has not fur
nished the feed he will know just how
much he has foraged. off his neighbors
cor his benefit. Most farmers have q
feeling that the corn which is fed to
fowls is thrown away, and that their
pocketbooks have been depleted so
much. He should rather look upon the
transaction as just SO much grain ex-
changed for eggs or poultry, the profits
of which are coming to him to better
till that pocketbook. Ch1stian at Hort.

THE BEST BREED.

Question Which Every Intelligent
Farmer Must Answer Personally.
The question: Which is the best
breed? is question always likely to
suggest itself to the man who proposes
to turn over 4 new leaf and hereafter
breed only pure-blood stock, and the
answers to his question will usually
vary just in proportion to the number
of breeders of the various breeds he
may happen to address. The truth is,
it would be nearer the truth, as
well as much easier, to answer that
they were all best, as to tell him this or
that breed is the best. The rational
way for man to put this question
would be: (Which is the best breed
for me7'' Putting the question this
way means that he himself must partly
answer the question. But this is just
what he must do in reference, for in
stance, to every principle in agriculture
which depends for its value on the wis
dom with which it is applied by each
farmer according to his surroundings,
involving means, soil. climate, market,
means of transit, etc. So in the matter
of breed, each must look to what
will best suit him and his customers.
and bring him the best and surest re.
turn for the keep he has at command.
Too much stress must not be laid on
the past history of any breed. While
the records of the past may be Interest,"
ing and, 20 certain extent, Instructive,
they are, nevertheless, of little weight
under the changed conditions OF to-day,
unless, indeed, the actual represents
tives of the breed under consideration
can trace close descent from distin-
guished animals of former generations.
thus affording probable evidence Of an
inheritance of their merits. A knowl.
edge of what has been done by fair rep
resentatives of the various breeds. to-
gether with evidence of the condition
as to keep, furnished by accurate
records as to kind and quantity of food
consumed, is what is wanted by the
man who seeks to decide which Is the
best breed for him. As to what his cir
cumstances demand, as we have already
shown. he must be the judge of that
himself. If he is unable to properly
appreciate his own conditions and sur.
roundings, and intelligently estimate
his needs, he lacks the first essential
qualification of good farmer.-N1
