MANY new years you may see, but
happy ones you cannot see without de-
serving them. These virtue, honor and
knowledge alone can merit, alone can
produce.

TOO EXPENSIVE MANURING.
American CultivatOr.
Most kinds of farm crops are now
grown on small margins of profit, and
will not bear very expensive manuring.
This is especially true of grain crops
that require little labor in cultivation.
Market gardeners think nothing of ap-
plying 1000 or 1,200 pounds of concen-
trated manures in growing some of
their crops that require most labor. Two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
pounds of phosphate per acre is about
as high as wheat-growing farmers can
afford. More than this on good land
makes the grain grow too ranky, so that
it lodges and does not fill as it should.
On spring grains the dressing is even
less than this. One hundred and fifty
pounds of phosphate per acre will usu-
ally pay on barley and often on the oat
crop. A larger application might
not pay, and under some circum-
stances might be damage. The small
grains differ from corn and garden veg
etables in the fact that they may re-
ceive more manure than is really good
for them, while the soil can hardly be
made too rich for the latter. Even the
lighter application of manure for grain
crops would not pay at present prices
were it not for the fact that some por-
tion of the fertilizer remains in the soil
to benefit the after crops of clover and
grass in succeeding years.

Farmers make poor spectators.
RUSSIA has advanced duties on wool

Turnips are excellent for winter ration

THERE is general impression among
farmers that corn is the 0e1y best feed
hog can have, particularly for fatten.
ing purposes. But there can be too
much of good thing, corn as well as
anything else. A hog will be true tC
name, and any member of the swine herd
will eat more corn or corn meal Gf he
can get it, than will be digested. 1t is
an erroneous idea that hog should be
fed exclusively on corn, even when fat
tening. Succulent food is also necessa-
ry. If hog has good pasture it will
be ready for the scalding tub just as
soon, and half the corn commonly fed
will suffice. 1t is high time the old style
of fat pork were done away with. Il

juicy muscle or lean meat is altogether

Mr.. Tage came in our midst some thirty
years ago, having previously resided in New
Jersey, and at the time of his death he had
reached the age of seventy -four years. He
leaves wife and four daughters who will
ever remember him as good husband and
kind father.
Two new dwellings are to be erected on
Longstreet avenue, in the spring, as soon as
the weather permits.
Mr.. Longstreet will run free excursion
from Wilmin gton to Holly Oak on Saturday
afternoon, February 9th, and Holly Oak
Cottage Cor. Lincoln Ave and Walnut ST.,
will be opened for the accommodation of
the excursionists No one who is think
ing of purchasing home site, establishing
business or manufacturing plant, should
fail to take advantage of the opportunity
thus afforded of inspecting our town.
Holly Oak journal. (Holly Oak, Del.) 1889-1???, 1889-02-01

From every standpoint, Holly Oak is by
far the best location for new city of any
on the river, and no one can make mis-
take in settling in our beautiful town, either
for business or residence.
To those who have already made up their
minds to do this, and to all who may here
after resolve to locate among us, the
JOURNAL gives hearty welcome and
extends the good hand of fellowship.

The Wilmington Holiday Visitoy of
December, in an editorial, speaks of Holly
Oak in the following language.
"The most recent, and, in the opinion of
the Vfsftor, by far the most desirable real
estate operation now before the people of
Wilmington is the building up of the new
town of Holly Oak. The situation chosen
is most remarkably well-ftted from every
standpoint for the success of the undertake
ing.
1t is plateau of land situated on the
Delaware side of the River, only eleven
minutes ride from Wilmington Depot, seven
miles from Chester, and twenty-one miles
from Philadelphia. The land is high, and
affords every opportunity for thorough
drainage.
The view at all points of the site is simply
grand. The eye sweeps the river for thirty
miles as it flows on to the sea, while the
shores of New Jersey present picturesque
background.
in charge, are amply able to develop it in
the very best manner. A steamboat landing
and wharf will be built near the centre OF
the water front, and no expense spared that
will conduce to the rapid growth and
comfort of the community.
Holly Oak possesses many advantages
over the schemes for suburban residences
which are now prominently before the public.
One is, the absolute certainty that lots in
Holly Oak will never become a prey to the
first Mortgage of Municipal taxation. 1t is
true the "near at home" movements being
just beyond the City limits are, as yet free,
from this burden. But history, it is said,
repeats itself. AS soon as the population Of
these settlements becomes large enough to
make them more desirable, from a political
or other standpoint, the Legislature will be
besieged, and presto-change! they will have
become only another ward, with all the
burdens OF city taxation.
The distance OF Holly Oak from this City,
of course, will preclude all possibility of such
danger there.
1t is true, it is proposed to make Holly
Oak a city of homes, with its own churches,
schools, in fact, with all the conveniences Of
the town, yet with the fresh air and advan-
tages of the country. And to do this, some
slight tax will be required, but these matters
will be adjusted by the lot holders. The
government of Holly Oak will be govern
ment of the people for the good of the
people by the people who reside there.
Another great and positive advantage is
the certainty and comfort with which it can
be reached by the trains of the P, w. & B.
Railroad. There is no go-when-you-please,
neutrality-suspicious., in bad weather,
as is the case where you are dependent on
street car service.
In the judgment of the Nisitoy, Holly
Oak is an assured success. Lots are already
being taken up at lively rate. The parties
who are managing the movement are gentle
men of the most thorough reliability.

It's mahogany blinds and screens hide

speedily found out the explanation.
They had rented the bowling alley In
the basement under that beer saloon
for the evening, and therein played a
series OF games with the balls and
pins. Bowling is regarded, for in
scrutable reasons, as a permissible
diversion during the Lenten season,
and Fifth avenue people are not only
using the alleys connected with the
big athletic clubs, but are fashionably
sanctifying the alleys connected with
the beer saloons by occasional use. OF
course these particular occupants are
guarded against the intrusion of the
ordinary customers Of these places,
and are quite sss exclusive as though
gathered in their own home.
