ESSENTIALS IN GRAPE GROWING.

Mildew and rot are the great obstacles
in theway of profitable grape culture in
this country, and while a knowledge of
the remedies and preventives that have
in many cases saved valuable crops is
important to any one who would engage
in grape-growing, it is even more i'm
portant that the climatic conditions for
success should also be understood The
mildew which attacks the under surface
is encouraged by dull, cloudy weather,
with occasional showers, or when heavy
dews are deposited where the moisture
cannot be readily evaporated. The best
grape climate or location appears to be
where dews are light or altogether alb
sent. Instances are given where grapes
on trellis under cover have escaped
mildew and rot, while those near by, but

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AMI OAISD6N NO1GSs
Farm for profit.
The best asters are the tran splanted
ones.
The daphne indica requires good
drainage.
Feed economically but not at the ex-
pense of growth.
The cost of the various crops will vary
almost every year.
No one season can be taken as true
guide for the next.
Sell stock whenever they are fully
ready, irrespective of price.
IN threshing take pains to see that all
the straw is stacked carefully.
Latania borbonica palms are widely
used for decorative purposes.
Summer pruning is the best if fol-
lowed up properly every year.
With hogs quick growth and early
maturity determines the profit.
After all the crops are all harvested is
a good time to haul out manure.
Tie up roses and chrysanthemums and
carnations before they bend and break.
Very comfortable quarters must be
provided if pigs are wintered over with
profit.
Allowing fruit to go to waste is to lose
part of the farm profits that should be
saved.
In majority Of cases it will be better
to buy whatever bran is needed early in
the fell.
Pinching the ends of fuchias not
only improves shape, but gives abundance
of flowers.
The new abutilon eclipse not only has
fine foliage but retains it's blossoms and
blooms freely.
Bran can be fed to the milk cows
nearly every day in the year with proftif
milk is an item.
While there is time see that plenty
Of shelter is provided for all the stock
that is to be wintered over.
If you want to get swamp muck the
dry summer time is the best to do it in.
The muck is lighter when dry.
After the stables and sheds are thor
oughly cleaned outa good coat of white
wash will make them healthier.
The quality of fodder for feeding is
often considerably lessened by allowing
it to get too ripe before cutting.
A cheap hog and poultry house can
readily be made to return a good profit,
have water, dry and convenient.
If you have nothing better lay in
good supply of dry earth to use as an alb
sorbent in your stables when needed.
Apply lime whitewash in your stables,
your hen house, your pig pen and every
where that insects can lay their nits.
During the cool weather in the early
fall is the best time for fattening hogs,
and they should be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
Two items are important in draining.
One is to secure a good outlet and the
other is to provide regular descent for
the water.
Cut oats as soon as the meat in the
kernel gets doughty. The straw will
then be bright and about as good to feed
as timothy hay.
Cornmeal is excellent for fatteniug
pigs, but it needs to have fed with it
something more heterogeneous to make
muscle and promote growth.
Always leave strip for moving be-
tween your growing crop and the pasture
fence 1t will prevent cattle from reach
ing over and breaking the fence.
Do not be afraid to furnish your COWS
shade for fear they will not feed
enough. They make milk when chewing
the cub and not when filling the
stomach.

Dear Nj. Nicholson: Your favor inform
ing me of the wish of the delegates from
East Dover hundred to present my name
to the county convention as a candidate
for the Legislature is received. For raa-
sons which | explained TO you last night
feel sure that my nomination would
not promote the best interests of the

public duty which forced me to consent,
In spite of the protest Of many Of my
best friends, to serve my party in what
ever way 1t might think best,
now imperatively demands that /
decline this nomination. am much
touched by the kind expressions
OF good will and esteem which
during the past month have been re-
ceviing from my fellow Democrats all
over the state, but | should be utterly
unworthy Of them of l should permit
any selfish interests or ambition to stand
IN the way Of my party success.
Allew me to add that this withdrawal
OF my name is not due to the threats or
those from whom have a right to expect
support, nor from any uncertainty as to
the result, but to the fact that / have
become convinced that can be of more
service to my party fighting as private
within its ranks than as a candidate
upon It's ticket.
The boastful confidence Of our politi-
cal enemies, who hope with ali enormous
corruption fund to debauch the manhood
OF our voters, should act like a bngle
blast to summon every Democrat to the
defense Of his party and his state. Il is
an open statement that the Republican
party dare nst hold public meetings ia

ANOTHER pAsTARoLY CRIME.

A Little Daughter of 4. t. Il. Clark of
New Castle Assaulted by Buriy Negro.
Jacob Storker, a burly negro about 30
years of age, is now confined In a cell in
New Castle Jail for heinous crime, said
to have been committed on Monday
night last. Storker was arrested
early this morning by County Con
stable Israel Riding and Police officer
John M. Hanson, on warrant sworn out
by Thomas T. T. Clark, prominent far
mer and dairyman. living about two
miles west of New Castle on the New
port road.
The little girl was playing in the hay
NOW on her fathers farm with her little
brother on Sunday evening, when the
negro came up. He induced the boy to
leave, and then made every attempt
to rape the girl, smothering her
screams with punches CT hay. He
became frightened and hurried away,
first warning the child that if she at
tempted to tell what had happened, he
would drown her in a small stream close
by or chop her head off The child went
to the house, suffering intense pain, and
was unable to leave her bed until yester
day morning, when she broke into a fit
of crying, and told all about the horrible
affair.
The negro was arrested on the farm
where the deed was committed, and
brought to jail secretly, in order
to insure his safety against
the maddened neighbors The
Jail will be closely guarded for few
days at least, and ii is thought that this
will prevent the man from getting into
the hands of mob
The prisoner was taken before Justice
Janvier. charged with assault with
criminal intent, on Oracle, the ten.year
old daughter Of Mr.. Clark. The
victim of the dastardly crime
was examined by DR.. j. j
Black. She is bright little girl and
answered all questions intelligently. The
Justices office was cleared of all spec
tators during the examination of the
witness Storker was held without bail
to answer the charge at court.
The prisoner Is shabby looking
specimen of humanity, and his diseased
condition at the time the crime was com
mitted made the offsnse ali the more
glazing. Mr. Clark is almost heart broken
over the affair, and the nearby farmers
and citizens of New Castle are furious.
The negro was loudly condemned on
every street corner. and many threats
against the fellow were made during the
morning.
