CHEswoLD, Nov. 27th.-Only a few |
farmers in this vicinity have used |
shredded fodder for feed previous to
this fall and have always spoken of the
plan in the highest praise. The Fall
however finds them very generally
adopting the new method which is II
great saving of feed besides enabling
them to put larger quantity shocked,
in a much smaller space in out of the
weather. Mr.. Owen Evans near Ches
void placed the shredding outfit in one
of his fields last week and blew the
shredded fodder in one heap which re-
sembled a strawstack in the distance.
Having a surplus of feed he placed a
quantity of landplaster on the heap
with the view of utilizing it for manure.
Mr.. G. R. Vaughn, near Cheswold,
is showing his faith in the peach by
putting in IA acres of his farm in young
peach trees.
Cheswold has four poultry dealers
who in the past four days have bought
and shipped large quantity of pOul-
try for the Thanksgiving market.
In church matters our people would
last Sunday, had the weather not been
threatening, had the choice of varie-
ty in pulpit oratory. Sunday morning
pastor Gardner preached a pleasing
discourse on duty and responsibility.
In the afternoon the Rev. Vaughn Col
Inns preached at the re-opening SER
vices of Central. In the evening DR..
Corkran, Presiding Elder of EastOn
District preached at CheswOld a SER
mon of much good thought, presented
in practical way on the church as a
factor in saving the world and at
Bethel the same hour Rev. Mr.. Har-
wood, late a missionary in New Mex
leo on his way to Porto Rico for the
| mission work preached at Bethel for
the revival service. Again at Central
in the evening DIR. Alfred Smith, of
Dover, preached. The Central people
despite the lowering weather, were
elated by the fact that the remaining
Indebtedness of about $50 for their
church improvements was cancelled at
the afternoon service in a very short
time. The revival at Bethel continued
last week with increased interest
The church is greatly quickened, sin
ners have been awakened, and ten con
versions are reported with seven addi.
tions to the church. Revival meetings
commenced at Central last Sunday
evening.
The store room of Messrs. d. F. anC
H. r. Loose is receiving a coet of pain
Of cheerful colors which will make
great improvement.
The moving season now approaching
will involve a change of residence TO
about dozen families in which ou
town will gain one or two residen
families. This seems like a wonderfU
shift about for a small town.
