The Delaware farm and home. (Wilmington, Del.) 1885-19??, 1895-08-22

Thousands of persons have seen it
during the past week, and there has
not been one dissatisfied individual
among them. In fact the Lincoln
Park Company has been warmly
praised for securing such a great
attraction, especially at such small
expense to the public.
Several new speciality acts have
been added to the first scene incident
ally for the ediication of the Mikado
of Japan, who is holding reception,
but in reality for the vast audience
in front.
After these are concluded the scene
changes to the shores of China in
front of the ratification of Wei-Hai-
Wei and the troubles of the Orientals
begins. A fierce battle RACES, rifles
squirt forth their death dealing bullets
in quick succession, the calvary cuts
down their enemies, the bicycle corps
pick off the Chinese one by one, the
cannon belch forth their dread mes
sengers of death, and the war vessels
in the harbor fire bomb after bomb
into the fortification blowing up one
portion after another until all are
destroyed and the garrison capitu-
lates.
The battle over, the victory won,
then comes the magnificent display of
fireworks, such as only Pain knows
how to give. This includes water
volcanoes, flying geysels, golden rain,
sea serpents, revolving suns, carpet
patterns, immense revolving wheels,
interchanging squares, fountains,
bombs, rockets, candles and batteries,
the whole concluding with bouquet
of hundreds of rockets
The beautiful fairyland illumination
is still continued Monday, Thursday
and Saturday nights, and all the
amusements are running every day.
Steamers run hourly during the week
from Race aud Christian streets,
Philadelphia.

ABOUT cuLrIvArINe ORCHARDS.

The diverse treatment which apple
orchards receive throug hout the coun
try affords a lesson showing the great
benefit of giving them the best man
agement, and the loss from neglected
treatment. Neglect is too common
and poor crops and scabby fruit is the
result In contrast with these
neglected orchards, are few to which
the owners give the best attention,
and who receive good prices for the
copious returns of handsome fruit.
One orchard of this class, which has
grown to full bearing size, affords the
owner handsome profit every year,
while his careless neighbors receive
not more than one-fourlh of his
returns. This we'll managed orchard
is kept in grass, which is grazed short
by sheep, the grass afforded them
being only one-halt or two-thirds as
much as would give them full feed,
the deficiency being made up with
grain or meal. This is fed to them
regularly in long board troughs, The
sheep eat every wormy apple as it
falls, and the fruit is thus kept nearly
clear from insects. The droppings OF
the sheep enrich the ground, and a
top dressing of barn manure is added
ye5 vly The sales of the fruit from
this orchard for many years have been
equal to one hundred dollars from
each acre it occupies. The shade OF
the trees prevent a rank growth of the
grass, and the grazing Of the sheep
gives 1t somewhat the appearance of a
lawn. The owners of some other ex-
cellent orchards, who cannot use
sheep apply yard or barn manure
more copiously. In one of the unest
visited, the annual application OF
manure had gradually made it two or
three inches deep; the result was a
superb crop of apples. Other orchards,
with less manure are kept clean and
mellow with gang pillow or Acme
harrow, to keep the surface clean and
in a finely pulverized condition.

The CARE OF THE HANDS.

The flesh at the root of the nail
should be loosened and pushed back
with an ivory blade or dull-pointed
steel. 1t is easily done after soaking
the fingers in tepid water for about
twenty minutes This will disclose
the half moon, which in most cases,
is nearly or quite covered, which
adds greatly to the beauty of the
hands. A manicure has tiny pair
of scissors, which are made for the
purpose, with which he cuts away all
the superfuous flesh at the roots of
the nails, after rubbing them back
When the nails are in good condition,
q few minutes care and attention
daily will keep them so. Every time
the hands are washed the flesh should
be pushed back with the towel, and a
very few minutes rubbing with a
channels skin, with powdered pumice-
stone moistened with sweet oil, will
polish the nails. The finest polish is
said to be given by hand polish
which the manicure gives to pair o.
hands by an hours polishing. Water
can be easily softened with few
drops Of ammonia, or, what is better

good for washing the hands. Man,
people who do not work wash tn
hands but seldom. The days &C
emulation Of dirt is allowed to re
main on the hands ali night. Upol
arising, the hands are washed in COLI
water. The possessor wonders why
when she does not work, her hand
are not white.

SALT FOR Hoes.

A correspondent gives some inter
esting experience which he claims to
have had in the use of salt in fatten-
ing swine. He selected two pair of
barrow hogs weighing 100 pounds
apiece. One pair received with their
daily ration of food two ounces of
salt; the other pair, similarly fed, got
none. In week it was easily seen
that the sailed pair had far stronger
appetites than the others, and then
the ration of salt was increased to two
ounces each. After four months the
weight of the salted hogs was $50
pounds each, while that of the un-
sailed, five weeks later, was only 300
pounds each. The experiment was
repeated with almost the same result.
He salts hogs according to age, a
quarter of an ounce daily to breeding
sows, very little during pregnancy
and in the heat of summer withholds
it to degree from all, as it induces
thirst and liability to disease.

THIS IS RICH.

Tt has been limited By certain old
party papers that there is q possibility
Of the Democratic party accepting GER
tain of the principles Of Populists and
swallowing the new party, says the
Nonconformist. This is rich! The
dried up lips of Grandma Democracy
lack the elasticity required to enable
her to open her mouth sufficiently wide
to gulp down the Populist party. If
any swallowing is to be done the Pops
will perform the act. Every Populist
candidate for congress in Mississippi
at the late election is making the
necessary preparations to contest the
seat of his opponent. The announce
ment of such intention has caused the
greatest CONSERVATION among the Dem
ocratic politician of the state. Those
congressman who have boosted that
Populism had been wiped from the
face of the earth may have to face a
decidedly lively corpse when Populists
contest come up for settlement. The
total vote in Mississippi at the recent
election did not exceed 350O0-less
than the number polled in any one Of
the Indiana congressional districts.
To vote in Mississippi neces8itates a
man not only to be waterproof but fire
proof as we'll The constitution re-
quires the voter to register before he
can vote, but before he can register
he must take oath that his taxes for
the past two years have been paid, and
that he has settled his poll tax-which
cannot be under 81 and may be in
creased to So. Then the lucky midi
vidual must be able to read the con
stitution of his state, or to explain it's
provisions, either in part or in whole
if an ignorant being, in whole, of
course. This new organic law, like the
colored mans mouse trap, catches the
voters "a-comin' and a-goin'" It was
intended to curb the political desire
land that was the right of SUFFRAGE Of
the colored man, but its long arms
reached out beyond him and colIared
the "poor white trash" who now, in
the midst of hard times, find that
while it was very difficult to explain
the provisions of the constitution of
their commonwealth, it is a much
greater undertaking to pay taxes and
poll tax.

IRRIGATION DEPARTMENT.
WINTER IRRIGATION.

The Importance and value of irriga-
ton in the fall winter and spring are
becoming more and more apparent to
farmers, especially in the warmer pOr-
tions of the country and on the great
plains. A farmer in southern New
Mexico, says: at cannot be too earn
estly impressed upon the farmers of
the far west that the more irrigation
accomplished before the warm weather
comes, the better will be the result of
the years cropping"
In preparing your land for irrigation,
sub-soil it at least 20 inches deep,
give it a good winter irrigation and it
will then require but one or two irriga-
tons during the season. This is very
important for sandy soil and the plains.

The Philadelphia Evening Item, a
daily paper with 100000 circulation,
publishes the following brave and lucid
editorial utterances:
"There is halo of glory and renown'
around the brow of the bank president
which requires analysis in order to
understand its true worth.
SIN England this halo is far larger
than in this country; mainly because
we have had so many wildcat bank
presidents in our midst who have
thrown considerable dirt upon the
profession
SIN England the bank president is
recognized in society as the next door
to lord, and in cases he, in the general
estimation, takes rank with even high
er titled people.
"All this glory is part and parcel of
that which belongs to the pawnbroker,
neither more nor less.
"Now the only difference between
the bank president and the pawnbroker
is the size of the loan. There is no
other.
"If it be said that the bank president
does not charge usurious rates Of in
est, it is replied here that such a
| speaker is not very we'll posted in tbe
rates charged in this country in dis
tant and outlying districts; a very few
years ago, six 40 per cent was com
mon enough in Texas and elsewhere,
and thought all right by neighboring
national banks; but this rate busted
the borrowers in a very short time.
During the last few years the rate of
the same bank presidents has been re
duced to % per cent, and even 10 in
cases, and all these rates were to farm
ers who gave their property in secuci-
/ ty, property they then held free from
membranes; in other words, they
gave strictly frstclass security.
"Even the 6 per cent which prevails
here in the east is greater than the
earnings Of the average industry. Sta
tistics prove that statement beyond all
reasonable question.
''This is well known aud admitted by
any well-informed life insurance com.
pany
Therefore, what is the difference be
tween the pawnbroker who smmps hi,
victim inside of a few days or months
and the bank president who is gradu
ally but surely sapping the life blood
out OF industrial enterprise?
st is high time that the halo and
glory surrounding the banking bust
ness should be relegated to the rear
because it is greatly the cause of the
ignorance of the people as to what
these Insurers are actually doing il
their own behalf and at the peoples
expense,
"a large part of the press which sup.
ports these usuPers really today to this
glory and haio;' they are now naming
it conservatism but this word is used
to denote precisely what the average
