BRINGING Up a Worn Farm

Some years ago became interested in
agriculture by reading the experimental
bulletins issued by Prof. Atwster OF Mid
dletown University. | purchased forty
acres adjoining my farm at 81 per acre.
One field Of four acres, soil yellow loan
not sandy, WAS thoroughly exhausted; it
would not produce crop.
The field was plowed, and half ton Of
bone and half ton OF muriate OF potash
was applied to each acre and thoroughly
incorporated 10 the soil by narrowing. II
was planted to corn, which was carefully
weighed when harvested, and the yield was
fifty five bushels to the acre OF sound corn.
The following spring it was seeded down
with barley, clover and timothy. The yield
OF barley was light. about ID bushels to
the acre, due to Jupe drought. Late rains
revived the clover aud the following year
it produced seven tons by actual measure
ment 10 the bay when thoroughly settled.

DICKINSON COLLEGE.
The Rev. DIR. Jacob Todd's Chances for the
Presidency OF the Institution.

One of the trustees of Dickinson Col
lege, who is a resident of this city. gives
it as his opinion that DR. Jacob Todd Of
Grace Church, is the most prominent
candidate for the presidency Of the col
lege AT the annual meeting Of the
board of trustees Of the college, last com
mencement, the matter of electing q
president was referred to a committee to
make nominations and report to the
board Of trustees at u meeting to be
called by the committee early in August
AS yet the committee has not notified the
board that they were ready to report.
The time is short as the collegiate term
begins about the middle of September
The committee is composed of General
Clinton b. Fiske, chairman; DR.. David
H. Carroll of Baltimore, Hon. John b.
Storm Of Stroudsburg Pa, Dr. Thompson
Mitchell. president Of Dickinson Semi
nary, Williamsport, Pa, and Hon. j. A.
J. Creswell of Elkton, Nd, who repre-
sents the Wilmington Conference in the
committee II is probable that the delay
in the action of the committee, is owing
to General Fishes candidacy for Presi-
dent of the United States on the
Prohibition ticket. He is doubtless very
busy managingshis campaign.
Dr. Todd has not signifed that he
would accept the presidency of the col
lege if it were rendered him; neither has
he said that he would refuse it. He is
well qualified for the position in every
way, and there is strong probability
of his name being presented to the trus-
tees A number of his friends are work
ing for him.
In the event of his election and accent
ance, Grace Church would regret his de-
parture, and great pressure would no
doubt be brought to bear to get him TO
remain. The argument that would be
used in favor Of his accepting would
be that his sphere of usefulness would be
enlarged and therefore it would be his
duty to accept. Another candidate Ken-
toned is ex- President James NJ. Williams,
of the Wesleyan College Of this city. He
is now president Of New England col
| lege. A number Of other names have
been mentioned in addition 70 these, but
none authoritatively.

upon Mr. Cleveland's candidacy, as pro.
pounded TO r. f. Monaghan, Esq, by
West Chester, (Pa) Local News reporter
yesterday that gentleman replied in the
following words;
you urge me to tell you how the
Democracy can certainly win in this
campaign. Well give me a piece Of
paper and | will tell you how our old
Democratic party can win.
First, As Mr. Cleveland has not by let
ter accented the nomination, now let him
write letter declining the nomination
and retire at once from the contest
This will save our party from the fatal
folly Of his last annual message, which
unjustly discriminates against and
antngonizes the interests of 80, 600, 600 of
agriculturists and their families and
favors exclusively 5000, 600 Of manufac-
lures and their families only. We would
also be relieved from the odium of his
acquiescence and tacit approval Of that
monstrous $50, 600, 600 river and harbor
steal
Second. Next. move up that real and
true old Jacksonian Democratic states
man, Allen q. Thurman, to the head Of
the ticket and fill the second place on the
ticket with that popular and brilliant
statesman, Governor Wise Lee Of Vir-
ginia, or that other equally brilliant and
gallant Governor, General Gordon Of

would have real, old fashioned Demo

Mr.. Monaghan for a long term of years

several times his name has been con
spcudusly used in connection with the
office of Governor. He did not vote for
Mr.. Cleveland four years ago. and since
then he has stoutly adhered to the belief
that Mr.. Cleveland was not fit man TO
