CRIMSON CLOVER.

CRIMSON CLOVER.
"Why is not Scarlet Glover more
extensively grown in New Castle
county ?" is a question often asked
by those who have seen it's beneficial
effects where it has been used in the
lower part Of the State. The TRANS
cRIPT has three advertisers who are
dealers in the clover seed and they
will gladly furnish circulars of infor-
nation respecting the growth of this
''veritable gold mine to the Delaware
farmers" They are: Joseph E. Hol-
land, Milford; Slaymaker & Son, Dover;
and J. J. Smith, 4th and Shipley, Will
mingion. Their names are given more
as convenience to the farmer than as
"puff'' to the advertisers to whom
IF course the TRANSCRIPT would glad
ly do favor. But why more seed is
not sown here we do not know.

A GREAT CROP OF CORN.

The corn crop for this year is estima-
ted to be the largest ever grown In this
country. 1t is estimated by the Agri-
cultural Department that the yield
will be in the neighborhood of $780,
900, ,0eO bushels, which at the present
market price of December corn means
that the farmers will receive S768, ,000,-
600. This sum represents the value
of corn alone, not including the great
value of the stalks used for fodder and
for other purposes. 1t is nearly an,
impossibility to estimate the value of
the crop in advance of the harvest, for
the reason that the price may advance
materially before the crop is placed on

Potato Tests at the Stations.

In large number Of experiments at
12 different stations comparisons have
been made of methods Of cultivating po-
tatoes. Seasons vary so much that the
results Of different methods are continu-
ally contradicting each other. One sea-
son potatoes mulched will yield two or
three times as much as those grown in
the ordinary way, and the next year the
results will be almost the opposite.
In trials where direct comparisons
were made, results from Alabama, Kan
sas and Utah favor fiat while Indiana
favors ridge cultivation. Maryland,
New York and Ohio report practical
ly no difference in yield between fiat
and ridge culture. Vermont reports that
in one seasons trial mulching when
four inches high gave better results than
ridging. Results obtained at the stations
in Colorado, Indiana, Michigan and
New York are against mulching. The
general tendency seems to be toward
thorough preparation Of soil and level
culture.
Comparisons Of deep and shallow cul-
tivation have been made at the Micbi-
gan and Utah stations, with very diff
ferent results. In 45 trials at the Michi-
gan station the yield Of marketable tu-
bers was in 40 cases in favor Of deep
culture, while in Utah shallow culture
gave greater yield than deep. Results
are so conflicting that no conclusions can
as yet be drawn.
The foregoing is an extract from d
bulletin on potato experiments, issued
from the Illinois station and written by
@. W. McCluer, assistant horticulturist.

The Slave that "Unc1e Dick" oglesby

The Slave that "Uncle Dick'' oglesbv
Freed.
Somebody once asked Governor Og-
lesby how it happened that he, though
Kentuckian, had grown up an Abol-
itionist.
Zone of the principal causes" he
answered, "was negro whom we
called Uncle Tim. He was slave who
had descended from my grandfather to
my father and was the only one in the
family. My father died when 1 was a
small boy and we became embarrassed,
and in order to divide up what little
there was left Uncle Tim had to be
sold. well remember him as he stood
up on box ready for the sale. He was
a powerful man, far above the average
in height, with manly bearing, a fine
face and skin as black as ebony. He
had always been very fond of us child
rem, and thought almost as much of
him as if he had been my own father.
AS he stood waiting he implored, with
tears streaming from his eyes, BROTH
er of my father to buy him. That was
impossible, and observing his detection
and surmising its cause, said:
"Uncle Tim, I am going to work to
earn money, and when 1 get enough I
will buy you and set you free."
''His face lighted up with pride and
pleasure as I said this, but it was fol-
lowed by look of despair. He came
down, lifted me up in his arms and
said sadly: "Thanks, Marse Dick; you
are poor orphan and won't never be
rich enough to buy Uncle Tim." He
was sold, and being past his prime only
brought some $4O0.
~ moved to Illinois in time; strug-
gled; went back to Kentucky and
grew no richer. used to see Uncle
Tim occasionally, and l always assured
him that some day 1 would buy him.
He always listened to me gratefully.
but apparently had no hope of success.
In 1049 went to California, and after
much effort I made a few thousand
dollars and then returned to fulfil nv
promise. l sent the money to nv
brother and Uncle Tim was purchased
and freed.

Of my brothers. house some days later
when Uncle Tim came out of a piece
Of woods little distance away and
approached along the pathway. It was
4 striking picture, such as I never be-
fore witnessed. He was a giant in |
stature; his abundant gray hair was
thrown back on his shoulders, his face |
was ashen, reminding one of the statue
Of Moses by Michael Angelo. His
was aglow and shone as if |
lighted by the very presence of the
Holy Ghost. When he caught sight of |

ne and tried to lift me as in the old
lays, but he had grown too weak and I
lad grown too large. You can't lift
ne any more, Uncle Tim,' I said. No

With exulting air, he shouted as he
urned his face toward the sky: HAL

BEAUTIFYING THE ARM.

For the girl whose arm will not
stand complete exposure in evening
dress there is made sleeve that fits
close on the inside of the arm from
the wrist to the hollow under the
shoulder, and on the outer side of the
arm is loose and puffed to the elbow.
This sleeve is made of transparent
material, and is laced up the inside
of the arm, the flesh showing between
the cords, while the draping of the
puffs softens the elbow, though the
transparency of the material allows
the general contour of the arm to
show. The bodice is made with
pointed yoke, lacing along it's edges
to the rest of the dress and exposing
slightly thus just that part of the
the neck which cannot help being
smooth, no matter how thin the girl

FEEDING BABY AFTER THE BATH.
'It is such a pleasure to give baby
his bath just after he has been well
fed," said young mother recently,
"because he is SO good then and
seems to enjoy the bath so thorough
ly." This is very common mistake.
The friction of the bath caused by
rubbing draws the blood to the sur
face and takes it from the stomach,
where it is needed after having par
taken of food. Digestion is thereby
retarded; and as a consequence, irr-
eparable injury is done to the body;
since proper assimilation of food is of
the greatest importance to good
health.
Battle the baby just before rather
than just after feeding him. If he is
a puny baby rub him we'll with good
pure oil after the bath. Olive oil,
cream oil and cocoanut oil are each
recommended for this purpose. This
serves as a nourishment to the frail
bodies. as the pores of the skin read
lily absorb the oil.

The German Narr Bible takes it's
name from an intentional error. The

husband and to get revenge stole in
to his Office one night and made a
change in the 10Th verse of the third
chapter of Genesis. She altered the
word Herr, Lord, to Narr, fool. The
result of the jest was that her hus-
band was hanged andsshe was impris-
oned for life.
