winter Oats" VS.. 5O.Cent Wheat.

The question of substituting for
wheat-"winter oats" or oats seeded
in the fall and harvested in June, has
been under discussion for some time.
In the lower part of this county oats
have been seeded in the fall and grown
with success. When the subject
was first investigated the reports were
rahter discouraging. The writer then
asked through the columns of the
Rural NeaO Yorker if there was dis
tInct variety of winter oats that would
stand the winter as we'll as wheat?
The answer was satisfactory and for
more definite information the writer
was requested to apply to E. L. Griffin,
Loudon, Tenn. Mr.. Griffin reports
that this variety of oats is as hardy as
wheat, will produce from 20 to so bus.
to the acre, depending on the land,
that it can be pastured until about the
middle of April, unless the ground is
very muddy, and that it is superior to
Crimson Glover or Rye as a winter
pasture.
In case of its being pastured too
hard he says that if there is in April
one stalk to each square foot of surface
this will, under favorable circumstances
shoot out so as to have 80 to 80 stalks
He claims that it is wonderful in this
respect.
One and half bushels of seed tC
each acre is sufficient, and on some
ground when not pastured, one bushe
is enough. Mr.. Griffin writes that hC
has nOU about one hundred bushels fol
sale but can not say what orders may
come in and will ship all he may have
left on receipt of the order. He speaks
very highly of the seed and says it car
be grown wherever winter wheat sue
ceeds. In his opinion it is far superior
to wheat at present prices and believes
it will do very well in this State
Samples of these oats can be seen a

Smyrna Landing Enterprise.

SHyrna Landing as a business place
is now in its glory. True, as compared
with quarter of century ago with
its array of vessels, wood, slaves, lime
&c, there is a transmogrifcation, but
it is business all the same. The most
noticeable feature just now is the To-
mato canning establishment of ]. B.
Counselman & Co. 1t is veritable
beehive while the busy packing season
of about forty days are on.
In constructing the building and
selecting the machinery the proprietors
have had regard to the latest improved
machinery and methods. This is ap-
parent from where the fruit enters the
scalder to where it comes out sealed at
the Gaping machine. The largest
thing is the eliptical conveyOr that
carries the buckets Of scalded tomatoes
to the operatives, who take off as
needed, and the same after they are
skinned, to the packing machine, into
which they are fed like emptying corn
into hopper. This not only empties
and presses into rows of cans, but with
large revolving brush wipes them
clean for the work of the capper that

on full time because the yield is scarcely
more than half per acre of what was
expected. Had the yield been the
same as the past two years, their expec-
tations of over 10000 cases would have
been realized.
From this to the phosphate works of
the transportation Company is only a
a stones throw. We noticed some
weeks ago the construction of a sub
stantisl building for holding rock. This
has been completed. Still another was
contemplated at the upper end of the
present works to give more room in the
manufacture of acid phosphate but this
has been deferred until another season.
A chief feature of their machine work
is ground bone, pure, and of finer
grade than is usually found in the mar
ket. In fact they could sell every ton
of it to city manipulators to an ad-
vantage but they keep il for home
trade, The bone to make this meal
is obtained at home, viz; from this and
other places on the Peninsula.

Katie Dugan's Murderer.
A PROMINENT wILMINGTONIAN AR
RESTED ON THE TERRIBLE
CHARGE.

Something of a sensation was created
in Wilmington Friday when Albert
Stout, shipping-clerk of the Charles
Warner Company, was arrested on the
charge of the murder of Katie Dugan
on October 10, 1892. Stout is now
locked up at the City Hall awaiting
trial. He took his arrest coolly and
said nothing which would show that
he had any knowledge of the murder.
On the morning of October 20, 1892,
William B. Carswell, a civil engineer,
while walking from his home in the
suburbs to his Office, crossed q lot to
save time and was Mortified to find the
body of girl lying IN a pool of blood.
The throat was cut from ear to ear,
and by the side of the body lay a ra-
Zor. The authorities were notified
and it was found that the girl was
Katie Dugan, the daughter of James
Dugan, a barber on Lancaster Avenue.
She had left home the night before and
her parents were searching for her.
A post mOrtem examination was or
dered held, and it was found that the
girl was in delicate condition.
A sister of the murdered girl stated
that on the previous day her sister had
received a letter from someone who
had signed himself Jack" telling
Katie to meet him at a certain place.
Her sister went out that evening but
never returned alive. Both the city
and State detectives went to work on
the case, and James Reilly was ar
rested on account of having been seen
with the murdered girl on the night
that she was killed. He had no diff
Guilty in proving an alibi, and was dis
charged.
1t was found that the murdered girl
had been employed in the family of
Albert Stout, who was arrested Friday,
and he was closely questioned. He
made statement as to where he was
at the time of the murder and the
whole evening on which it was sup
posed to have happened. Having
proven an allbi he was not arrested.
The city and State authorities Of
fered a reward of $500 each for the cap
ture of the murderer and this put a
number Of new detectives on the case.
About the same time the Office of city
detective was abolished and this left
the State detectives to work on the
| case alone.
The warrant for Stout's arrest was
sworn out by Mrs. Catherine Dugan,
the mother of the murdered girl, and
was served by Chief of Police Dolan
and State Detectives McVey and
Witsil.
Stout is 40 years old and has a wife
and family. He has been employed
by the Charles Warner Company for
fourteen years and is one of their most
trusted employees. The authorities
expect to prove a motive for the crime
that Stout was seen with the girl on
the night of the murder, and to break
down the alibi which he proved when
questioned. Stout has retained H. H
Ward as his counsel, and waived q
hearing to await trial at court, begin
ming Sept. 18th.

For the Delaware Farmer Bow.

Last year, Delaware College estab-
lished two new, short courses in Agri-
culture to furnish instruction to such
young men as feel that they cannot
give the time necessary for complete
college course.
These courses proved so popular
with those who took them that we
wish TO call the attention of others to
them, now that the opening of the col
lege year is at hand.
Every young man intending to be a
farmer should learn what the college
thus offers as q preparation for his life
work. If he thinks he cannot afford
the time for either of the two longer
courses, which begin with the opening
of the college, Sept. 9th, he should at
least make up his mind to take the
short winter course, beginning January
End. II is none too early to begin
preparations for this course now. This
Winter Course includes only such
studies as are Of direct practical use to
the farmer, and by attending it a
young man is enabled to put to profit.

The Difference.

The market report in Philadelphia
by Saturdays newspapers quotes No. 2
seed wheat at 81 cents for sixty pounds
and bran, which is the skim of wheat
at $3.50 per ton presumably of 1000
pounds. AS 33t bushels of wheat of
so pounds will weigh near 1000 pounds
which at 81 cents the bushel would
amount to $18.95 the apparent differ
ence between the price of wheat and
bran will thus be seen to be only $2.45.
1t would therefore seem better economy
for persons who use wheat bran for
feeding purposes to buy wheat and
have it ground at the mill and teed it,
for one half the quantity would produce
better results than bran. Feed it either
mixed with cut hay or as mash. Wheat
is more nutriciOus than any other kind
of grain for human food, and with the
price of corn and wheat the same, the
writer feels assured it would be de-.
cidedly cheaper to feed it mixed whole
with either corn or oats for horses,
cattle or hogs, however, to have it
ground half and half and mix it with
hay or fodder for feeding horses, or cat
tie, and for hogs make thin mash Or
mix it with slOp. The writer tried it
ground with oats last spring for feed.
ing horses without being mixed, with
out hay, and was much gratified with
the results attained. Il is so entirely
unusual and now to feed wheat to
horses and cattle, that people will
naturally hesitate, but like all new
things after a very short trial we soon
become used to them, and the sooner
persons who buy bran for feeding hogs
horses or cattle, get onto this new and
valuable feed the more money they
will save in buying feed, especially
bran, which is mostly the skin oi
wheat. r. H. G.

The OYSTER Season.

The oyster season, which opened on
the 1st instant by the calendar, but
which will be deferred largely until
cooler weather, promises to be plenti-
full one. This news comes from all
quarters, and it is a comforting one to
the consumers. The only thing the
Oystermen fear is that like last winter
the depression in trade will close the
oyster houses and stop the sale among
the working people. In that case the
price is likely to drop so low that it
will hardly pay to market them.
The oysters themselves are in fine
condition. fat, juicy and plentiful. Not
only is there an excellent outlook for
the coming season, but the last summer
has been unusually favorable for the
"setting" OF ''spat, 'as the oyster spawn
are called when they cease to swim
above in the salt water and attach
themselves Tor "set'') to some hard
body or substance at the bottom of the
bay.
The Jersey Oyster Commission re-
ported that through the oyster bearing
waters of the State, a good supply
could be looked for from Maurice river
Cove and Delaware Bay, as we'll as
from the oyster grounds of Cape May,
Atlantic, Ocean and Monmouth
counties. This Commission has been
dumping hundreds of bushels of oyster
shells upon each one of the natural
oyster beds in each part of the State
and this undoubtedly has a good in
huence upon the set of the spawn, a:
it gives them something hard to attach
themselves to and saves the drowning
of millions of them in the muddy bot
| toms.
The report from the Delaware side
of the bay is good, and from the Chesa
peake bay and its tributaries, from
which most of our supplies come, the
report is for an abundant crop of choic,
| bivalVes.

PROFEssORs HAZEN and Able, of the
United States Weather Bureau in
Washington, have expressed the Opin-
ion that the haziness of the atmosphere
which has been perceptible throughout
the country for many days past has
been due to the unusual prevalence of
forest fires; and that while the
fires have been promoted by long COZ
tinued drought, they have in turn con-
tributed to the prolongation of the dry
weather. The Philadelphia Record
says: 1t is becoming plain that the
Government will sooner or later have
to take in hand the problem of forest

The EUery Evening reduced its price
Monday fifty per cent. to help on, it
says, in the assurance of the new tide
of business revival that is sure to come
to that city. This might be somewhat
assuring if it were the result Of enlarged
business and receipts, or from an as
sured increment growing out of a we'll
defined party or governmental policy,
but the EUery Evening has never been
understood in the newspaper trade to
be a profitable plant, but sustained
rather by its stockholders when occa-
sion required it, in the line of effective
journalism, and it is only just in saying
that it has filed its place well. But it
is not from within, but from without,
shat it is able to make this big reduction
n its price, and in this particular it
does not stand on a par with the mer-
chant, manufacturer, artisan-"on its
own bOttOm"-or even the newspaper
plants that are struggling, unsupported
by political patronage or moneyed cor
porations, in keeping abreast withe the
moving current.
1t is evidently not the legitimate re-
ceipts of the Office, present or prospect
i've, but rather the result of contingent
cies incident to the present political
situation, that has brought the big
change in price. II is to get even with
the EUening Journal. The latter is of

Il has been selling at double the price
of the Journal, but as a political move
lail things are said to be fair in politics
1t was but natural for the rich manufaC
turer to curb its rebellious spirit by {
. blow under the fifth rib, in selling {
two-penny paper to the readers of th,

Journal for one penny. How effectiv,
this move may be, remains to be seen

provement because of the general ex-
baustion of the market. R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The activity which came with
exhausted stocks and the pres
sure of delayed Fall demands, was
increased by the removal of doubt
about the tariff, has continued with
heavy entries of foreign goods since the
bill became law. The gain is not yet
what has been expected, and business,
if good in comparison with last year, is
still poor in comparison with years
preceding. Presumably there has not
been time to feel the full effects OF the
change, and gradual gain will be
more healthy and encouraging that a
spasmodic rise, but the expansion OF
commercial loans has suddenly ceased,
prices of manufactured products show
weakness rather than strength, and
there has been reaction in the stock
market prices of railway stocks aver
aging 80 cents and of trust stocks of
oil per share lower than week ago.
Wheat moves largely, and western
receipts were 6,762,777 bushels for the
week, again st 1928, ,901 last year, and
for Aug. $500, 900 bushels, against 15, ;
500, 600 last year, which does not fit short
crop predictions. Fears of frost, the
crop being late, are argued as a reason
for quotations otherwise unwarranted
Cotton has declined an eighth for the
week, but the year closes with every
indication of yield materially exceed
ing the worlds maximum consumption
of American, and with 100000 bales
of old cotton in sight. If all the mills
were running full force the situation
would not promise much.
The demand for products of iron and
steel has increased, but prices tend
downward where any changes appears
as there is not enough business yet tC

A halfgrown daughter of Thomas
Chadwick, residing on the" Middleton"
farm some two miles west of this town,
was severely bitten by their farm dog
one day last week. The dog, that was
a good one otherwise, became enraged
because driven from where he was lying
in the way, by the daughter, and he
flew at her in most savage manner
biting her in several places and tearing
her clothes badly. The mother came
to her rescue and with a weapon kept
the animal away in part until Mr..
Chadwick could get there, though the
dog tried to get in to her after she had
been removed to the house. He was
shot. The first report that she had
been bitten by a mad dog does not
seem correct, as far as rabies is con-
cerned, though it was in this vicinity
that a supposed mad dog was killed by
Mr.. William NailOr about two months

Reduced Rates to the Delaware state
Fair at Dover.

The seventeenth annual Delaware State
Fair, to be held at Fairview Park, Dover,
from September 10 to 10, promises to be
one of great interest.
The inducements offered this year to
successful competitors will be greatly in
the increase of those of previous years, and
the many special premiums to be given out
will act as a strong card towards securing =
great number of exhibitors to the fair.
The grand display of cereals and live stock
will be most interesting and instructive to
the visitor.
Racing, as usual will be a striking and
drawing feature of the occasion. This
part of the programme has been much i'm
proved by the addition Of new blood.
In all, the fair this year will be exceed
ingly interesting, and the attendance will
undOubted be larger than ever before.
As futher inducement towards making
the affair a grand success, the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad will
sell excursion tickets, including admission
to the grounds, from principal stations on
the Maryland Division and from all points
on the Delaware Division and Branches,
and Queen Annes and Kent Il. R., al
