According to rumor Pencader, near
Newark, will shortly become a railroad
center. New interlocking switches. new

that express trains for the Delaware rail- |
road will pass over this branch.
An exchange says that every paper in |
the State should publish the fact that burnt |
corn is a sure cure for hog cholera. It was
first discovered by burning pile of corn
belonging to a distillery. 1t was thrown to
the hogs and eaten by them. Before that
a number had been bying each day, but
the disease Immediately disappeared. The
remedy is so simple that it can easily be
read, and if it is found efficacious, it should
be generally used as a preventive.
Speaking of farming, prominent land
owner said said one day last week l know
some men who come under my personal
who have borrowed all their
purchase money for their farms, and to-
day are out of debt, know, also of men
who have had their farms given them and
they are now mortgaged to their full
value" The difference here shown is pro-
duced on the one hand by thought, work
and economy, and on the other hand by
the lack of these qualities. ANY man that
ex poets to make money on farm without
thought and work, will find himself the
worst fooled fellow in the world, as will
also the farmer who expects to take all off
he farm and put nothing back to improve
The ground.
