Bulletin No. lis of the New York

but one brood of the dark sided cut
worm a year. The young worms APP
pear in the spring upon the grass and
weeds which line the fences and
bitches and waste spots about the
fields. From these neglected or un-
cultivated places the worms advance
to attack the young onions, and so
spread over the fields by degrees
though often quickly. An opportunity
is thus given to stay their progress by
putting across their line of march a
barrier of poisoned food; and this plan
was successfully used by the station

Eggs for Setting.-Early failures to
hatch eggs very seldom come from lack
OF vigor in the germs for in this the
early eggs are superior. They more of,
ten come from allowing eggs to be
chilled before the setting begins. Every
one knows that chilling after few
days setting soon destroys the life in
the egg. 1t may do so where eggs thas
have never been set on are kept in con-
tact with metal which rapidly abstracts
heat when the eggs are kept for greater
safety near the freezing temperature.

Chickens and Garde%

We planted our corn, beans, peas ano
tomatoes about the time we set half
dozen hens. Vegetables are up now
writes H. B. Geer in Epitomist. We
have placed the barrel coops. style OF
coop made of a barrel with four or five
slaves removed, and laid down with
Slated front, right by the side Of the
garden fence. Then hens are confined
in their coops, but the chicks, of which
there are more than fifty. pass in and
out the Slated fronts at will, under the
garden fence and in among the yege-
tables. They chase about after bugs
and now and then pull a slug or worm
from the surface of the ground, but
they don't scratch to amount to any
thing, or at least not enough to uprooi
any vegetables, and they don't in any
way injure the latter. We calculate
the garden will outgrow the chickens
and it certainly will do so, while the
vegetables will serve as a harbor foi
insects for the chicks, and ths
fore they get the vegetables. That ID
the way we view it, and the way 1t Ii
working now and has worked for us or
former occasions. True, when the to-
matoes begin to ripen towards autumn,
we shall have to protect them, but We
will provide that when we furnish
the support to the vines. by means OF
frame work that will keep the toma-
toes out of the way of the chickens, as
well as support the vines. The beans
are partly along the cross fences. and
being of the running kind, they viii
climb the wire-netting cross fence and
provide shade for the chickens in the
summer time, as will also the corn and
the beans planted with it Chickens
do not harm bunch peas to any great
extent. People who think they cannot
raise both chickens and a garden
should bear in mind that it is the hen
that scratches up the garden, and moi
the little chickens. Start chickens
and garden about the same time. con.
ine the hen, and let the chickens run
they will do the garden more good
than harm while they are small. and
the vegetables will be mostly gathered
by the time the chickens approach ma
turity when they might do some harm

A GROWING NUISANCE.

Every person who has occasion to
buy in the street markets Of our city
must notice the large number of baby
carriages obstructing the way of the
pedestrian remarked the head Of a
household to the Wayfarer. 1T is a
growing nuisance, and l guess there is
no way to abate it. Under the best Of
circumstances it is a struggle for
person to go from one end of the mar
ket to the other in quest of bargains
for the table, but when one or two per-
ambulatOrs are on the crowded pave
ment in front of you and the loving
mothers in no hurry to work their way
along, or unable TO do so because Of
the marketers coming from the OppO-
site direction, it is enough to make a
man lose patience and religion at the
same time Another obstruction con-
sists of two garrulous women, teach
with a large market basket in hand.
They meet and talk and talk, while the
tide of humanity surges around them,
but never with sufficient force 70 break

are almost as big a nuisance as the
baby carriages"

A MODERN ECONoMIsT.

Three or four days ago the Wayfarer
was walking around in the waiting
room in Broad Street Station, Philadel-
phia, waiting for a train to take him
back to Wilmington. The magnificent
room was filled with Christmas shop
pers and sightseers. Among them the
Wayfarer noticed a Wilmington ac-
quaintance who had not been married
a very great while.

asked the Wayfarer.

not been shOpping-merely looking at

Did you bring your wife up with
you?" asked the Wayfarer.
NO" he answered. "Times are
hard, you know; so / came up, and
when 1 get home I'll tell her all about
everything / saw, and she will be just
as we'll pleased as though she had
come"
The Wayfarer doubted it, and felt
like interfering when he saw him go

cdnts for a book which none but men

There is in Georgetown a man, quite
prominent in the affairs of the town,
who has a habit of what is commonly

place, near town, in the course Of a few
days. Mr. Elliott and William Dawton
will be the perpetrators of the deed.
The former has two 4007pound hogs
which he proposes TO butcher with the
assistance of his friends. Thus far Mr.
Lawton is the only one who has ac-
copied an invitation to attend the OBJ

Our local merchants will soon have

Wayfarer to-day. The passing of a de
livery wagon belonging to a big Phila-
delphia house inspired the remark.
"That house has one wagon here and
another large Philadelphia house is
going to put on two to deliver goods
which it sells to Wilmingtonians. For
years the Philadelphia merchants have
been getting the cream of the Whining
ton trade, and this placing on Of de-
livery wagons is a sad commentary
upon the people of our city who take
their money out of town and out Of the
channels of local trade. It is time now

The hilltop back of the canal a cannon

By this time the city was awake and
the streets were soon filed with people.
Excursion trains from distant points
arrived every few minutes and added
their human freight to the busting
crowds. Farmers from the surrounding
country with their families loaded on

A display of fireworks, it was learned
from the various persons consulted,
may cost almost any sum, in accord
ance with the lavish or careful nature
of those in charge of the fete. The sin
gle exhibition of the Columbian cele-
bration on Brooklyn bridge cost over
$4,000 but this figure has frequently
been surpassed. The highest contract
for this year, so far as could be dis
covered, is one with the city of Phila-
delphia for $4,000 worth of fireworks.
Philadelphia, it would seem, is a most
patriotic town, and each Fourth of July
sets apart a goodly slice OF its reve-
nues to be expended in patriotic dis
plays. The principal civic fireworks
viii be shown on the Girard avenue
bridge, but others are TO take place
in different parts of the Quaker city.
Other cities have likewise ordered their
Fourth of July fireworks, first among
them being Pittsburg. New York does
not have any fireworks fund, but no
one can claim that the city is less noisy
on the Fourth for that reason. Bos-
toms annual pyrotechnics vary, the
fathers, during some years, leaving the
celebration entirely to their sons. But
Boston buys unofficiaHy the largest an
nual lot of fireworks.
Armies of men are required to work
upon and manage the big pyrotechnic
displays, especially the continuous"
ones, which run for months at time
al the summer resorts. The novelty in
these spectacles during the season now
opening will be a gorgeous reproduc-
ton of the Turko- Grecian war. Of
course in these scenic affairs, pyro-
technics only form part-large bodies
of ''supers' being. required TO represent
soldiers.
A novelty in set effects was shown
at the Ambrose park, Queens jubilee
celebration. II consisted of a pictorial
group in colored fire, representing Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland being
greeted by Uncle Sam. A portrait of
Queen Victoria, with royal arms of
