The Rural New Yorker says: SIN our
opinion it is mistake to plant the Ben

not grow such large and highly colored

the goods they have to compete with.
But Vermont can grow Northern Spy

fine as anything in the world, and that
is what Vermont growers ought to stick
to. With the competition which now
exists in the apple business, and which
is bound to grow sharper and sharper
every year, no one should dare go to the
market with any fruit which is not the
best of its kind. The best Ben Davis al.
ways brings good price-more's the
pity-but we can't understand what use
could be made of second class Ben

A Bunch OF RunawayS.

/. Wilmington had three runaways yester-
day. The most exciting runaway of tho day
occurred on the Boulevard. AS ]. j. Hen
the B. e. o. railroad tracks and the Con-
cord crossing his horse took fright and
ran away. Hendrickson was thrown out
and severely bruised. Wal son Lenderman
who was following in another carriage,
whipped up his horse and gave pursuit to
the runaway. The two teams came down
the Boulevard at breakneck speed. They
dashed across Washington street bridge at
terrific pace. At The southern end Len.
derman had gained considerable and the
two horses were running neck and neck.
At Thirteenth street Lendermap got even
with the runaway's head and reaching out
caught the lines. After few hard jerks
no stopped the running horse,
While Miss Lizzie Lyons was driving
across Front and Market streets her horse
took fright at trolley car land started to
ran away. Heiell down after running q
few yards and was easily caught. The
harness was considerably damaged.
While the horse of Charles Crawford
was hitched in front Of his house,at Second
and West streets, it became frightened
aud ran away. The animal dashed down
West street, dragging behind 1t the car
riage, in which Mr.. Crawford and his
laughter was riding, In turning the cor
ner OF Front and West streets the carriage
was upset. Mr.. Crawford and his dauSh-
ter were thrown out, but in some miracu-
lOus way they escaped injury. The horse
was caught by Frank Duncan.

BIRTH OF {
THE FLAG.
Tomorrow It Will Be
Observed Throughout
the Land.

7 Tomorrow Is flag day, and although the
people Of Wilmington have not observed
the day with any public ceremony, 1t Is
earnestly requested that flags BIO flown
from every staff in the city on this years
birthday Of the emblem on Juno II. 1777
The Continental Congress enacted: That
the flag Of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes. alternate red anu white;
: that tho Union DO thirteen stars. white in
3 blue field, representing new constella-
tion" On April 4. 1873 1t was enacted:
.ThAt from and after the Fourth Day OF
July next, the flag Of the United States DO
thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate led
and white; that the Union DO twenty stars,
white In blue field. and that on the ad-
mission of a new State into the Union.
one star be added to the Union Of the flag;
and that such addition take offoct on the
Fourth day of July next succeeding ad-
mission.
Since 1878, twenty five stars or sovereign
States have been added to the Union. At
though on June IA, 1898, because OF the
patriotism evinced, by the effort OF the
United States Government to suppress
cruelty on the island of Cuba and extend
liberty to its oppressed Inhabitants, more
American flags will be floating through
out the country than on any previous day
in our history, the number ought to be
largely added to, because the anniversary
Of the birth of the flag occurs in tho midst
of the most expensive and the most unset
Ssh struggle for others not OF its race IN
which any nation ever engaged.
The Flag Association earnestly exhorts
our citizeus to SEQ to it that tho stars and
stripes with all they mean shall on June
II, 1888, greet the rising and salute the
setting sun, from every church edidce,
aohooi and public building, and from every
private dwelling, however humble,
throughout the entire land.

ABOUT INCORPORATING.

How Drains Are Constructed I'm Connect
icut-Tiis Versus Stone Drains.
The remarkable wet summer Of 1897
was forcible admonition to the farm.
ers Of many sections to drain their
lands. and they have needed 1t. A Con.
necticut correspondent, writing to Coun.
try Gentleman from Hartford county,
says:
I do not remember time when so
many drains were being laid as at pres
ent. Farmers who had fields Of potatoes
not worth digging and tobacco only fit
to be plowed under are determined not
to have another experience SO costly and
disagreeable. If the next season were to
prove as dry as half a dozen preceding
the present one, they might secure fair
crops, but what the farmers want is in
surance against loss from the effects Of
surplus water in another wet season.
They are acting wisely, for it is probable
that the increased yield of their crops
during the first ensuing summer of OK.
cessive rain will offset the cost Of drain
age.
The drains that are being constructed
in the valley lands are almost exclusive
ly Of tile. On therocky lands away from
the Connecticut river some stone drains
are being built When it is an object to
rid the land Of surface stones, it may
be advisable to build stone drains, but
the additional labor required makes a
stone drain moro expensive than one OF
tile under almost any circumstances.
There is some little variation in the
method of making stone drain, but the
ordinary plan is to lay row CT stones
on each side at the bottom of the ditch,
cover across with fiat stones, place q
layer of cobblestones on these to depth
of several inches, cover the small stones
with straw or brush to prevent the loose
earth from filling the crevices and fill
up the ditch with soil.
One objection to drain of this kind
is the liability, provided the soil at the
bottom of the ditch is not Of equal hard
ness for its entire length, that some of
the foundation stones will sink below the
line Of the rest. In this case the drain
is likely to be choked up: Another OBJ
lection is that burrowing animals may
enter the drain and obstruct it. How
ever, stone drain we'll laid OH hard
pan bottom will often remain in posi-
ton and perform good service for many
years. do not intend to say anything
to discourage any farmer with an over
abundance of loose stones upon his lands
from building stone drain. Indeed
there are many situations where all open
drain, with sloping sides grassed over.
is very much better than none.
