Perhaps it is because she is co!oreG
that Miss Lily May Tucker, pro-
lessor OF the divine AIT Of cookery at
Quogue, L. l., knows her civil rights
Any way she sustained one OF her
rights where strong men would merely
have sworn ank walked. Wishing &c
20 from Quogue to Riyerhead by way
of Manor, Miss Lily asked for ticket
by that route. The ticket was sup
piled to her and she paid for il. Then
she boarded the train and rode to
Manor, but was there informed that
the train which last summer ran
from Manor to Riyerhead was not
running this season. Right there Is
where a mere white man would have
made feeble exhibition OF his in
ferioIity of the color and her sex.
But Lily, she just looked over the
station agent, and said;
"YOu mean it has not been run
ming, young man. It's a-going to
run, cause I've got ticket that calls
for my transportation from Manor to
Riverhead, and I'm going by that
route"
Then she sat down on bench and
let the station agent walk the plat
form. After a while he went into
his Office and telegraphed something
TO somebody When he got 40 ans
wer he went out and looked at
Miss Lily's ticket Then he tele-
grarhed some moro and some more
was telcyraphed to him. Then he
went out again, wiping his brow,
and said that if Miss Lily insisted
upon going by the route called for on
her ticket special train would have
10 be made up TO carry her, Miss
Lily made answer:
II amt a 'sisting; I'm just wait

And the tain was made up and
N SIS Lily in her lonely majesty was
transported to Rlyerhead, as per her
ticket.

FARsI AND GARDEN NOTES.

Green food is the natural feed Of
fowls in the summer season.
When laying, fowls require nearly
double their usual amount of food.
See to it that your stable has
plenty of ventilation and no draughts.
Grain will cause bowel disease if fed
too literally during the warm weather.
sudden change from one food to
another will sometimes make a shrink
age in the milk.
In feeding roots to COWS, cut them
fine enough, so that they will have no
difficulty in eating them.
Any land that is rich enough to grow
a good crop of corn is rich enough to
grow a good crop of grapes.
If there is trouble in Matching, break
the shell enough for the chick to get
its head out and then let it alone.
One reason why many fail to ma Ike
forest trees grow is that the changes in
the condition of growth are too much.
If fowls are well fed during the sum-
mer they will go into the winter strong
and well, and the cold will have but
little effect upon them.
Be ready to spray all apple trees as
soon as possible after blooming time.
The paris green mixture is a good one
to use for this purpose.
From all quarters comes the good
news that dairy interests are being well
husbanded, and that in every way the
work seems prosperous.
Plan the garden so that as fast rs
one crop is matured another will be
ready to take its place, and in this way
keep the ground occupied.
One of the very best places for dump
ing coal ashes is around the fruit trees
they not only act rs mulch but they
help to keep away insect pests.
There are few better remedies for
black knot than good culture and the
cutting out and burning of oil diseased
limbs as soon as they are discovered.

priaiing additional money for the use
OF the Delaware Commission of the
Worlds Fair, but cut the amount
down to $4,000, the House having
fixed it at $4,000. The commission is
already $4,000 in debt, and ifthe House
concurs in the Senate amendment the
commissioners will only have $4,000 to
meet all expenses during the time of
the fair. This is very meagre amount
to go On, and after the Delaware build
