A Persecnted Farmer

A large haystack on the farm of
George sharpless, about halfway be.
tween Media and Chester, was destroy.
ed by an incen 1iary fire between one
and two O'Clock last Saturday night.
This is the third fire Nv. Sharpless has
been subject to. Thel! first was In
August. 1886, when his barn, large
old fashioned structure, was destroyed.
1t was fully insured and was at once
replaced with large, modern-built
structure. the fire being set down as
the work of tramps.
The new building stood unmolested
until August Of last year. when IL was
full of the seasons harvest. 1t was
again fired just after dusk one Sunday
evening, and, with all contents, des-
troyed in less than an hours time.
The Delaware County Mutual Insur-
ance Company paid the second loss
promptly, and at great expense employ
ed detectives to try and discover the
real incendiaries. The company
gave notice to Mr.. Sharpless that If he
rebuilt they could not accept third
risk on the building He did not re-
build until this spring, when he COM
menced the new barn, completed only
a few weeks ago. tits, however unin.
sured, no company being willing to
accept the risk. The haystack fired
Sunday morning is only about 20 yards
from the barn, and if the wind had
been blowing in that direction it would
have been again destroyed.
Ex-District Attorney Baker and his
brother. Stanton, who were coming up
the Providence road from Chester were
the first to discover the fire. After get
ting Mr.. Sharpless and son out of bed
the Messrs. Baker assisted in making
an examination and evidences of a
horse and wagon having stood in the
road and team had been heard driving
rapidly away when the fire was first
discovered ri
Mr.. Sharpless is brother of John
Sharpless who was murdered on the
night of Nov. %, 1885, and his farm
adjOins the farm of the murdered man.
He is now greatly alarmed by the in.
cendiarism and will keep constant
watch on his buildings.-Ortord Press.

That "Hybrld" Wheat.

Last fall it will be remembered by
the..majority of our farmers, att east,
that parties canvassed this section oil
country distributing remarkably
productive wheat-so said-which
was to take the place of all other
wheat when the superior excellence
of the grain was learned. They dis.
tributed seed to farmers who would
enter into a contract with them to
give the parties one half Of what
was produced from the seed furnish.
ed. That half to be delivered on
board cars at their nearest railroad
station in a marketable condition
DR.. Robertson exhibited a sample of
the wheat at the Office Of the MID
LAND JOURNAL on Saturday, which
showed four varieties of wheat; some
bearded, some smooth chat, some red
and some of the heads white wheat.
The doctor says there are two other
varieties in the lot which he lad not
selected. The company is we'll paid
for distributing seed. This is pro.
ductive wheat year in this part of
the county and for the four bushels
of seed distributed to each customer
the spectators will get Is or 80
bushels of wheat delivered on board
cars ready for market, which each
farmer might just as well have had
by sowing his own seed. Such a
mixture AS this SO called hybrid
wheat will not answer for seed.
BONANZA OATS.
DR.. Robertson, exhibited at the
same time several stalks of oats
which he took from his own ground
and that of a neighbours.
The Bonanza Oats was variety
which be received the seed of from a
friend in La Cross, Wis. The doctor
planted the small package on plot
about four yards square, in drills
leaving space Olive inches between
the grains planted. The head exhib.
ed at our Office was taken from a
bunch of six stalks which was the
product of one grain, The head
measured IA inches and had $50
grains on it. The doctor stated that
there were other heads as arge or
larger in the same bunch of stalks.
THE CAMERON OATS.
Another variety displayed by the
same is called the "Cameron Oats"
having received its name from Mr..
Jno. Cameron of the 9th district who
originated or brought out the oats.
Thestalk was quite small but aver
oged 40 grains to the head. Mr.
Cameron sows four or five bushels to
the acre and being seeded thick the
stalks do not tiller but single grain
of seed produces only single stalk
which ia not more than two and one
half feet high. Mr.. Cameron raises
"a high as so bushels of this oats to
the acre. A stalk of oats also ex-
hlbited by the doctor was taken from
Mr.. Haines Jobs field which contain
ed go grains on one head.
The La Cross, Bonanza Oats, the
doctor thinks is an old acqu aintance
under new name.

cleveIand's Theory Exploded.

Cleyeland's Theory Exploded.
Edward Green, OF Philadelphia, one
of the largest wool buyers in the coun-
trv sends the LIGHT the following:
Cleveland's theory that free wool
would be a benefit to the country at
large, has been thoroughly exploded.
The great advantage to the farmer
and working man of raising enough
wool in this country to supplant that
now being imported in the raw ana
manufactured state, can readily De
shown by the following figures:
1t would take the clip of 90, OOO,0 600
sheep; the total labor OF 2OO.OU
men; mules and horses, 80 OO;
sheep shears, 500, 900; salt, 81
100000: corn and winter fod-
der, 81, OOO, 900; bags for holding wool,
1915. 900; Irvine for tying fieeces, $780,
600; tobacco dip, made from present
refuse, $1,000 900; railroad freights on
wool to market, $4,000, 900; railroad
freights on sheep to market, $4,000
900; repairs to additional machinery
necessary to manufacture the increas-
ed clip, s., 100000.
In addition, it would require wire
fences, lumber for fencing and she'd
ding, wagons and farm implements,
the manufacture of which would give
employment to thousands of men and
an expenditure of millions of dollars.
Protection to wool means cheap
mutton. Not single pound of wool or
yard of wooden goods should be i'm
ported, but all produced by American
labor.
Wool growers do you want to be
driven out of your occupation?
Potatoes, under the present tarlft,
and the senate bill, are protected by
a duty of Is cents per bushel. In 1887
there was a short crop but the impor-
tation of many millions of bushels
from Scotland prevented the Amerl-
can growers from obtaining an ad-
yanced price on that account.
The Mills bill makes potatoes free,
and with free potatoes they can be
laid down in Chicago from Europe for
less freight than from Minnesota.
Other vegetables are the same.
Farmers, do you want 10 compete,
unprotected, with the pauper labor OF
Europe?

The Verdict Unanimous.

W.D. Suit, Druggist, BppuS: Ind, testi-
fes: II can recommend Electric BttterS, as
the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has
given relief in every case. One man took
six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of
10 years standing" Abraham Hare
Druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: The
best Selling medicine | have ever handled in
NV 20 Years experiences, is Electric
Bftters." Thousands of others have added
their testimony, so that the yerdict is
unanimous that Electric Btters do cure all
diseases of the Liver, kidneys or Blood.
