Nuts Like Cannon Balls.

1t is perhaps not generally known that the three cornered nuts called Brazil nuts grow in packed clusters enclosed in shells which are roughly spherical in form, and have somewhat the appearance of rusty cannon balls. In the tropical forests there is another nut-bearing plant which goes under the name of the eannon-ball tree. The nutshells are almost perfectly spherical and would readily be taken for cannon balls.

| ed metnOdS, everything ne can lay mold
of, to contribute to a reduction of the
cost of production.
He is subject to the same economic
laws as is every other manufacturer.
The world declares it will have cheap
food and clothing, for such is the hui
name order of our civilization. The
American farmer is in the forefront of
a mercileSS competition, for from the
soil must come primarily all food and
clothing. He must furnish as good as
the best or he will lose the market. He
must do this at living cost, and keep
up the fertility of the soil, or he and
his farm will both perish by the way.
The demands of modern civilization
are expensive. 1t costs more to live,
educate his children and be a man
among men, than it did his father fiji
ty years ago. There is but one road
out of the difficulty as l can see. He
must put more thought into this ques-
ton of the cost of production. That is
his end of the proposition, the farm
end, the only end within his control.
Heretofore the cry has been more land
until the farm has become bigger than
the farmer. This makes expensive
farming. The necessities ofthe hour
say, make the farmer bigger than the
farm. To keep two acres, or two ami
mails, or two machines, OF two men to
do the work of one, is wasteful farm
ing There is no longer a renumera-
tive market for the product of such ex
pensive methods.
The progress of economic thought and
understanding has enriched every 9th
CT class in society more than the farm
er. A number of our farm products
are produced just as extensively as
they were forty years ago. Ancient
farming no longer pays. We can do
something if we are practical men to
help along a reform in this respect
among our brethren
A most serious situation confronts
the farmer Thousands find themselves
poorer than they were a year ago.
The proceeds of the cotton crop do not
cover it's cost, at very poor wages, and
if made by the women and children
they have been poorly fed and scantily
clothed, and the grower is in debt to
the village grocer.
10 all in such condition, we refer
them to the article on "BunGer FL
nances," on the last page of the Rural
list. They will not only find the secret
of their failure, but also way QUITO
buy nothing which they can raise on
the farm. If this rule was UNIVERSAL
ly followed, the Southern farmers re-
demption would be nigh.

The Cow.



Without Them?
Just eliminate the products of the
COW from the table for one week, and
life would seem hardly worth the liv-
oatmeal dish! Guess the rolled oat
mills would soon stop. No cream for
our coffee The limitations Of Java
and Mocha and Rio and Maricaibo
would receive a greater check from
loss Of demand than any revenue tax
would make. No bread and milk for
supper? When boy on the farm, I'VE
had bread and milk for SUPPER and
now, past three score and ten. sup
per would be a failure without that
dish of bread and milk.
And then the custards, the pumpkin
pies, the sauces, dried beef cooked in
milk, ditto Goldfish, new potatoes cook
ed in milk, and a hundred and one
things the practical farmers wife
knows how to make into toothsome
delicacies if she only has milk.
And then what would our tables, set
in the palace hotel or the humblest cot
tage be without butter. The bread
would be awfully dry without the
spread of choice dairy or creamery
butter, and the consumption of the
staff of life would be materially de-
creased.
Beef? What would take the place of
the juicy steak the properly cooked
roast, where the blood follows the
knife to suit the epicure, the boiling
piece, hot or cold, the cOrned beef,
dried beef, so handy for the supper,
soups, beef tea, hashed with potatoes
or hash on toast-we soon tire of al
most any other food than beef in it's
various modes of preparation.
Then the COW gives us her hide for
our shoes, for betting to run our ma
chinery, her hair to mix with our plas-
tering, her hoofs for glue, her bones
for refining sugar, her intestines for
encasing sausages, her blood for ferti-
lizer. her stomach for pepsin, and
many other things that might be emu
merated.
Surely the mild-eyed cow ought not
to be pelted with stones, curried with
a milking stool, or logged from the
pasture.
What becomes of all the cow prod
ucts? Thirty million cattle have been
slaughtered in the Chicago stock yards
in the past twenty years, one hundred
million dollars worth is exported annu-
ally. Probably nine-tenths of the
beef milk, butter, cheese, hides, ham,
hair. blood, etc, are consumed by our
seventy million people. There is de-
mand for all of them. The cow and
her progeny are the farmers manufac-
tory of the raw products of the farm,
giving him the profits of both grower
and manufacturer, at the same time
increasing the fertility of the farm by
turning into manure the plant food re-
quired by the crops.
If you have no cow, get one. 1t you
have a herd, increase it to the capac-
ity of the farm to properly feed. 1t is
the way to make farming permanent

PENINSULA PHONES
HARRY A. RICHARDSON AN

A COMBINATION.

HARRY A. RICHARDSON AN
NoUNcEs THAT THERE WILL BE
A COMBINATION.
Dover, Dec. 27.-That a consolidation
OF all the independent telephone com
panies on this Peninsula Is 90 be made,
has been announced by Harry A. Rich
ardson, president Of the Diamond State
Telephone Company, and who really
owns all the stock OF the Eastern Shore
Telephone Company, the Bee Line
Telephone Company, OF Caroline coun-
ty. and the Cambridge Exchange and
Dorchester county systems.
Mr.. Richardson said that it was pro-
posed to get these companies into
working shape that the people may be
benefited by the charters; that a light
system Of tolls would be established
so that connection could be made with
every town and principal shipping
point on the Peninsula, and trade open
ed up; that the toll system would b'
graduated by distances and that Dover
would be the centre OF the system anG
where the main Office is situated
About 100000 or $500, 900 will be in
vested on the Peninsula system, which
will be made thorough, metallic circuits
and long distance transmitters beinl
used. Mr. Richardson's companies have
made rapid progress during the lasi
year and a half. and It is expected e
have the Cambridge exchange connect
ed with Dover some time this week. Il
Is thought that later an arrangement
will be made with the Berks Count,
Company, which was Incorporated here
last week. by which an entrance tC
Philadelphia can be effected.

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY
SAID TO BE A BIG CONCERN THAT
is BACKED BY TWO BANKS.

The American Independent Tele-
phone Company. which secured a char
ter few days ago at Dover is reported
to be the foundation for a big concern,
which will take the place of the tele-
phone and telegraph combination about
which there has been much comment.
The American Independent Tele-
phone Company at present has capi-
tai stock Of 100000, and can hold per-
sonal property Of the value Of 10000
600. The charter was filed by the Del
aware Trust Company. and the corpora
tors named in 1t are representative OF
the filing company; but a meeting Of
the incorporators has since been held,
and among the directors elected was
Edward Troth, Of Philadelphia. Two
banking houses, one in Philadelphia
and the other in New York, are said
to be back of the new company. Presi-
dent Z. T. Candy. of the Delaware
Trust Company, declined to discuss the
new company or its objects.

GRoHE TO RECEIVE MORE

PAY.
At yesterday afternoons meeting OF
the Water Department the directors
decided to increase the salaries OF
Chief Engineer Bond and Registrar
Grohe for faithful services rendered.
The increase was suggested by Mr.
Porter and a motion to that effect
made by Mr.. Belts. Engineer Bonds
salary will now be S175 month, and
Mr.. Grohe's $3.50 per month, an in
crease Of $25 in each case.
The balance in bank was reported to
be s72,S49.5O, about 100000 of which
will be turned over to City Council as
surplus on December 80. A check for
that amount was ordered drawn. The
surplus last year was $86, 6,S33.62, max
ing a decrease of $26,S33.
On application OF the Wilmington
Mills Manufacturing Company for in
creased water supply for fire protec-
tion, it was decided to extend the
twelve-inch main in Vandever avenue
to a point inside of the property lines
of the company.
Bills TO the amount of about 1880,
including the weekly payroll of sS37,
"a, the monthly payroll of $274.67, and
1925 drawn quarterly by the commits

NO MORE STATE PILOTS.
A BILL TO ABOLISH THE
OLD SYSTEM.
POWER TO LICENSE PILOTS TO BE
TRANSFERRED TO THE LOCAL
INSPECTORS OF THE GENERAL
GOVERNMENT.
GOVERNMENT.
A dispatch from washington says:

A dispatch from Washington says:
Representative DAILY, of New Jersey,
will introduce a bill in the House soon
after the reassembling Of Congress,
which, If passed, will abolish the pres
ent system of state pilots, transferring
the power to license pilots to the local
inspectors of steam vessels, who are or
ganized under the general government.
The assault upon the time-honored
monopoly has been meditated for a
long time. If the proposed measure is
carried into effect, masters of vessels
entering or leaving an American port
will be allowed to navigate their ves-
ellis unaided. This will partly drive
the "shoal water men" out of business,
as there will be little or no demand for
their services. Until, however, a mas
ter passes a satisfactory examination
before United States inspectors, he
must submit to having his ship handled
by pilot as now.
The present law gives certain men a
monopoly of a very lucrative business
All craft Of more than a stated draft
must take on a pilot before entering
or leaving any American port. In this
manner large steamship companies pay
out thousands Of dollars annually
which they will save if they put meI
on their vessels with a pilots license, as
we'll as a captains commission.
There was a time when the pilot wal
an absolute necessity, but it is claimed
that day has passed. The frequenc.
with which a large liner plies 10 ant

perfect knowledge Of the canals AM
shoals and other peculiarities Of thu
waterway. He soon becomes as wei
versed in such details as the pilot him
self and the companies argue that thel
are carrying an unnecessary burden un
der the present system.
The Delaware pilots are organized
under a pilots association. 1t is onl
of the best known bodies of the kline
in the country, but If the presen
scheme is realized, the majority, If no
all, will have to seek other occupa

REFUSED A NEW TRIAL
A CHESTER COUNTY MAGISTRATE
GUILTY OF ELECTION FRAUD.

West Chester, Dec. 27.-The court OF
Chester county yesterday refused the
application OF Squire S. S. Young. OF
East Fallowfield township who was
convicted at the last term Of Quarter
Sessions for practicing fraud while
serving as an officer Of a republican
preliminary meeting held there last
Summer.
This case has for months been in the
minds OF politicians of this county, be-
cause of its involving a question Of law
that will hereafter be observed in the
holding of such meetings and over
which much discussion has been in
volyed.
The defense claimed that the charge
OF fraud could not be sustained because
Of the law being interpreted as refer
ring to primary elections and there
fore could not be applied to those OF
the preliminary character.
The court has, however, held that the
preliminary election is contributory to
the primary election; that It is a part
Of the latter hence the law is as much
in the interest of the former as 1t is for
the latter. and to prevent fraud in
whatever form, Il may be presented In
connection with the holding Of cleo
tions.
II is said the case will be appealed.
