Georgetown, Oct. 2l.-When con.
stable, yesterday, went to the home OF

Seaford hundred whose seat is con-
tested, to serve summons upon him
to appear in the Superior Court and
defend the action brought by Willard

Sussex county Levy Court, Green could
not be found. On inquiry, the officer
learned that Green had forsstalled the
action of the court by leaving the
State. He is supposed TO have gone to
New Jersey, ana will remain out OF the
State until after the adjournment of
court. Consequently he will retain his
seat until the next term Of court. 1t
is clear admission of the unlawful
holding of the ufice of levy courtman
from Seaford hundred by Green, but
the course of Justice in the case is
stopped.

Three DeraiIed Cars Han for IA Quarter o

Last Wednesday evening at 6.Yo
o'clock broken rail caused a serious
freight wreck ON the Wilmington &
Northern railroad at Harvey's bridge,
Just north of Embreeville. A south

which followed it, and the three were
dragged down the embankment anu

the train could be stopped
All the fence along the line was torn
down and the cars, which we're laden
with small stones and ballast. were
inverted beside the track.
Tho locomotive and forward cars were
unharmed. A northbound passenger
train which was due at Gainesville at
74J, was delayed by the blockade.

4 shoe Eighteen and Half Inches
Long.
In the window Of San Jose, CAL,
shoe store is pair of shoes which
fairly walk to the front rank when
big shoes are talked about. They are
eighteen and one-half inches long and
seven inches wide, and were once
worn by an everyday man named
John B. Defent.
Defent was working in San Jose a
short time ago, and during his stay
there he changed his old shoes for
new ones In the store of Mr.. Herold.
Id was so struck with their
wholesale dimensions in shoe leather
that he kept them for curiosity. Now
they are one of the curiosities Of San
Jose.
The young and curious men and
girls of Sonora still tell the story Of
how they gathered before Livingston's
shoe store fourteen years ago and saw
those wonderful feet enshrouded In
two calfskins. Defent was not an
noyed by the curiosity. He frankly
said he had long got over that feeling.
Somebody asked him about the feet
Of the rest of his family, and Defent
answered in his frank way that none
Of them had Every small feet" All
the members of the family had their
shoes specially made to order.
At that time Defent was working
about the mines in the Sierra foothills.

Wheat-Groyvins Maxt,ns

Somebody has been at the trouble Of
condensing great deal Of informa-
ton about wheat growing into very
small compass, and somebody else has
set it afioat without giving credit to
the author:
The best soil for wheat is rich clay
loan.
Wheat likes q good, deep, soft bed.
Glover turned under makes Just such
bed.
The best seed is oily, heavy, plump
and clean.
About two inches is the best depth
for sowing the seed
The drill puts in the seed better and
cheaper than broadcasting.
From the middle of September to
the last OF October is the best time for
sowing.
Drilled, one bushel of seed per acre:
If sown broadcast, two bushels per
acre.
One heavy rolling after sowing does
much good.
For flour, cut when the grain begins
to harden; for seed, not until it has
hardened.

The Swine Breeders future.

The Swine Breeders Future.
The average farmer who has met
with reverses in the swine industry,
now feels uncertain at q thought Of the
prospects for the autumn Of 1896. The
cheap food at present is one strong
point in his favor. It was otherwise
in the spring Of 1895, as many can tes-
tify to their sorrow. The extensive ex-
ports of corn from this country, so
largely increased in the past six
months, as well as the probably d.
minished acreage in the coming crop,
are items of encouragement to those
who resolve to continue their efforts
for the present year. No other branch
of live stock business seems to offer
any better immediate returns than the
hogs 1t would seem, however, prudent
for those who can depend on q moder-
ate number of hogs to divide their at
tention between the hogs and cattle, or
hogs and sheep. The cheaper food,
such as straw, hay, corn fodder and
vegetables can be more economically
used with such a division Of the live
stock. With rolling land where the
bulk should be devoted to pasturage, a
still greater diminution in hogs, with
increase of cattle, sheep, poultry and
horse stock may be found advisable.
Well directed effort to grow seventy
pigs to finish in eight months from
birth to the early maturity, and sue
cess in this undertaking, is more to be
encouraged than the plan for double
this number with the expectation that
one-third will have to be sacrificed on
the way to the ills of early infancy and
possible plague. Proper attention to
breeding and right variety of feed for
the moderate number from year to
year, will show an average annual
profit in any series Of five or more
years. Breed the best, feed in the best
way, and be sure you understand your
self.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

Condemned Milk.

The process of making condensed
milk seems about to be revolutionized
by condensing it with cold instead of
heat. Our readers have noticed many
a time that when milk freezes in win
ter a portion will usually be left in
the heart Of the mass that is not con-
gealed. This portion contains rich and
thick milk. The water of the milk has
frozen and left the solids. This ia the
principle it is proposed to utilize in the
making of cold-condensed milk. The
water will be frozen evenly through
the whole liquid. Then the icy crys-
tails will be removed by machinery.

sold. The purchaser can weaken it by
adding water to suit him. The gain
by the process is that the milk has not
been cooked.
