The Conference Academy Closes Very
Prosperous Year.
The commencement exercises of the Will
miugton Conference Academy at Dover
this week have been exceedingly interest
ing and have attracted large number OF
visitors to our capitol The closing ex
ercises held OH the graduating Of large
and promising number of young men and
women on Thursday evening was al occa-
sion of delight to the friends of the school
a. we'll as to the many friends and relatives
Of the graduates. The past year has been
one of the most prosperous and successful
in the history of this school, and the good
work being done in regular academic
course is of character that commands the
respect of scholarly men, and is in striking
contrast with the superficial work done in
many more pretentious schools. No young
man need seek proper preparation for
business in a six weeks course, OF some OF
well advertised school, unless there be q
sound and thorough training, III an acade-
my course; then he presumably will have
received sufficient light to lead him to
he schools, where thorough and educa-
tional work is done as the best equipment
for the success in both business and profes.
sional life. We congratulate the friends Of
the Academy at Dover on the steady and
increasing prosperity of their school
We are glad to note that the Academy is
constantly making additions to the fur
nishings and the hope is INDUCED that the
boys and girls of our Peninsula will find
in Dover the opportunity and facilities to
obtain the soundest and most satisfactory
instruction given in the schools of like
grade in the land.
The following officers of the Board of
OF Trustees were elected at the annual meet
ing on Thursday. President, Joseph Pyle,
Vice President, Hon. William Salisbury

Protec ion for Small r. uiis.

II you wouil grow berries sac .essfuuy
in northern climate you must give them
protection in winter, writes correspondent
Of the Country Gentleman. Winter pro-
lection should be practiced in all localities
where the temperature reaches zero or be-
low. Even with the most hardy plants, and
in localities where they show no injury, the
vitality is often impaired and the succeed
ing crop very much reduced. With high
cultivation a large and tender growth is
produced, hence the greater necessity for
maintaining as uniform temperature as
possible throughout the winter and early
spring. There is safety only in protection.
The first warm days in March are especially
trying. A protection of eaIth or other mulch
carries them safely through the severest
winter and beyond this critical period.
The best winter protection for blacSber-
ries, raspberries and grapes, is obtained by
LAYING them down and covering lightly with
earth. If plants have been mulched in
summer with green clover, clean straw, or
coarse manure, IS they should be, use the
mulching first, then cover lightly with earth.
The process of IsJiog plants fiat on the
ground be fore covering is an important one,
and is easily acquired with a little practice,
If rows run north and south, commence st
the north end, remove the earth about four
inches deep from the north side OF the bill,
gather the bushes in close form, with well
protected hands ard pull gently towards
the north. At the same time second man
places his foot firmly on the south side of
the hill and presses hard towards the north,
bendi e the plants in the root until nearly
fiat on the ground. If ground is hard or
bushes old, the first man may use a wide
two tine fork to push the bush carefully
over, and the second man potato fork in
stead OF the foot, inserting the same deeply,
close to the south ii Re Of btu bending in
the root as before, until nearly lat on the
ground. The first man then holds the
BUSH down until properly covered. The
top of succeeding hilt resting close
to side of pre- ceding bill. makes con-
tiauous covered row. In spring remove the
earth carefully with fork, and slowly
raise the bush. Two men should lay down
and cover from one quarter TO one-half acre
per day.
Canes are more flexible and less liable
to break if this work is done soon after
frosts. but may be done any time before the
ground is frozen. With hardy varieties aad
in mild winters efficient protection may be
had by covering the tips only. Grapes being
more fl xible are lsi J down without removal
of earth near the vine. There is no more
important work ''on the fruit farm or gar len
than winter protection, and there is no work
more generally neglected. Let it be done
early aud thoroughly.

Farm, Notes.

One of the worst habits for the gro yer of
plants to fall into is that of wateYing on the
''little-ind-ofseh" plan. Where this is done,
the surface of the soil will generally look
moist, and because of this il is taken for
g,sn:ed that the sell below must be il the
proper condition. But by examining the
soil 1t will often be fou1d that the moisture
is all confined to the top. Below it will be
almost dust-dry. The only successful rule
is, to wait till the surface looks dry, and
then to apply enough water to thoroughly
saturate all the soil in the pot. If the
drainage is what it ought to be, there will
be TO danger of overwhelming.
The farmers of this State are daily
awakening to realize the value of the pure
water and healthful conditions in connec-
ton with dairying. There is no class of
milk with better flavor than that made in
Maine, no butter more palatable and salable
than Maine butter. So far as quantity CT
production as well as quality is concerned
DloIHS Is III the ledU. 1t VIII &c 1emem
bered by many that of the best cows
brought into competition from all parts of
the world at Chicago the best butter
producing COW was the famous Jersey
"Br0Tn Bessie" Her highest average
was 43.9 pounds of milk from which
2.G3 lbs, of butter were made. At
the Maine State fair this fall
there was one Jersey that yielded
As lbs. of milk from which trife over
three pounds of butter were made. The
average of the COW at the Worlds Fair ex-
tended over longer time it is true, but the
contestants represented the best dairy herds
in the world. If further proof were needed
to slow that this State is admirably adapted
TO dairying it could easily be found.
The superintendent of the Newport CON
densed milk factory has said that frequent
ly the average of the milk received there
will yield per cent of butter fat ard some
times more.
