Now is the proper time to select
the seed potatoes for next year. They
must be carefully handled and stored
seperetly from the crop. Select those
that are well matured, even and smooth
and those particularly those that are free
from all signs Of disease, as disease is
easily communicated by seed. The small
potatoes may be cooked and fed to stock.
Don't try to crowd fifty hens into
poultry house suitable for only twenty
FIVE, as the larger the flock the fewer the
eggs, proportionatey unless they have
perfectly accommodations. As rule
small flocks give larger profit from the
same outlay than wnen numbers are
kept that cannot be provided for.
John L. Frick, proprietor of the
Newark hack line, left for Granville Cen
tire, Bradford county, Pa, ON Monday
evening, to visit his brother, M. c. Fricl.
Mr.. Prick has been very faithful in his
duties, and well deserves the trip and
rest. During his absence his brother
will manage the hack business, and will
strive to please all who may ride with
him.
Granville b. Gillespie, known as
Buck" Gillespie, died at his home in
Dover on Monday afternoon. The de-
ceased was injured while exercising
Delaware Bashaw" on the Elkton track
on Monday before the opening of the
fair. He collided with a sulky coming
in an opposite direction. He was hurt
internally, and was at the Howard House
at Elkton for several weeks. 1t was
thought that he would recover and was
well enough to be taken home.
The garden plot should now be
cleaned up and al material raked and
burnt. A heavy pillow should be used,
and the soil turned over so that the frosts
can penet rate, which will kill cutworms
and many insects, as well as render the
plot more easiy cultivated in the spring.
All the clods and Jumps will be pulver-
ised by the frost, and if cross plowed
early in the spring it will be an addition
al advantage. Ifthe pillow cannot be used
spade it up. A light application of lime
will also be found beneficial.
