ticle in wholesale way. Everyone
however, prefers the Delaware seed to
those of Germany.
Certain Delaware farmers who, in
their efforts to get every cent possible
for the seed of their own raising, have
gone into the business of buying and
selling, and in order to meet competi-
tion have bought and sold imported
seed. This is said to have been the
means of cutting their own throats, in
figurative sense.-Neaos and 1dUer-

Winter Oats And Crimson Glover.

Winter Oats And Crimson Clover.
Mr.. E. H. Bancroft, of Kent county
DEL, writes to the Country Gentleman
as follows:
"Our season being fully two weeks
late we have but just finished harvest
ing 25 acres of green winter oats and
Crimson clover-150 tons have gone
into the silo, the rest hay. The two
plants grow together, and reach the
proper stage of maturity at the same
time while the feeding value of the two
combined is better than any other we
have ever tried. With the clover we
have tested the mixture of Italian rye,
grass, wheat and rye, and find the win
ter oats alone satisfactory for this
mixed feeding.
This crop has determined for us that
the first half of September is the proper
time to sow. On block of seven acres
sown in early August, the oats made
too much growth last fall, and as we
could not pasture, they were largely
winter-killed, though the survivors,
with the clover made heavy crop. A
five acre block, sown about September
10Th, after sugar corn, was magnificent
yielding an immense crop of the best
forage. The remainder Of the 25 acres
was sown after taking off crop of
COW peas from October 1st, to October
81, and while the oats did fairly well,
the clover failed to get we'll established
in the Fall, and stooled but little in
the Spring, making Therefore but a
moderate crop, and without the des-
ired proportion of clover.
This $50 tons Of ensilage will feed
my so Jerseys four months, when we
shall store 440 tons of corn and COW
peas for the next eight months; Octob-
er /, '94 to June, '95, from 25 acres of
the same land, there now comes enough
ensilage to feed the herd four months
more, besides good many big loads of
hay. The other 20 acres, and many
more besides, have good crop of
Crimson clover seed nearly ready for
the harvest. This double cropping
goes on every year, rendered possible
for us only by the introduction of Grim
son clover.
We buy phosphoric acid and potash,
the cheap mineral elements Of fertility,
quite freely. The Crimson clover and
the COW peas store nitrogen from the
atmosphere. Stable manure does the
rest. On this plan our 140-acre farm,
whose primary business is fruit grow
ing, carries also dairy herd which, in
the dairy sections of the North, would
be considered large for its entire re-
sources, and steadily increases in pro-
ductiveness.

DEFINITION OF HOME,


A prize was recently offered by Lon
don "Tid-Bits" for the best answer to
the question, "What is homer Here
are few of the answers which were
received
The golden setting, in which the
brightest jewel is mother"
A world of strife shut out world
of love shut in.
Home is the blossom of which Hea-
ven is the fruit.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle of chari-
ty.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great.
The fathers kingdom, the child
ren's paradise, the mothers world.
The jewel casket containing the
most precious of all jewels-domestic
happiness.
Where you are treated best and you
grumble most.
Home is the central telegraph office
of human love, into which run innu-
merable wires of affection, many of
which, though extending thousands
of miles, are never disconnected from
the one great terminus.
The center of our affections, around
which our hearts best wishes twine.
A little hollow scooped out of the
world, where he can be shielded from
its cares and annoyances.

1t is euphoniously named the Jerushy
Ann. and it's owner is Elizabeth Went
worth, more familiarly known as
eliza" She is sixty-two years old,
and for forty years she has been cap
tain of her own craft. All her COM
peers in the canal-boat business say
that Liza has few if any superiors in
her profession, and the fact that she
is reputed to be worth over $4,000
speaks well for her financial ability.
She lives on her boat, the cabin of
which is luxuriously furnished, and
when she is not engaged in getting
her boat from place to place she plays
the violin, on which she isa expert.
Elizabeth Wentworth, in addition
to being canal-boat captain, is a
"strong woman" of no mean powers.
Her feats at lifting, carrying, and on
one or two occasions at fighting,
would have won her renown had the
Jerushy Aim never existed. She mar
ried her husband, Richard Taylor, be-
cause he was her superior in athletic
ability and was able to lift and hold a
barrel which the redoubtable Liza
staggered under. But having been
| won in this somewhat unconventional
manner, Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor were
very happy. and passed up and down
the canal supremely contented with
their lot until the husband died. Then
the captain of the Jerushy Ann be-
came morose, resumed her maiden
name and abjured society. Her vio-
lin and her boat are her only solaces,
and she seems to find them sufficient,
for at sixty-two she is erect, active,
unwrinkled and her hair is scarcely
| touched with gray.
