A Half Million From Truck Farming,
Phaadelphia Record.


There are over 600 acres of Philadelphia land
under cultivation south of Porter street, in the
district known as the Neck, and there is now
living in Germantown man whohas amassed
fortune of $500, 0O0in raising early vegetables
in that locality. His two sons are still engag
ed in truck farming, although they have not
the same chances as their father had during
the Civil War, when spinach sold for So barrel
and onions brought as much as $12 barrel.
The father with his half million, has remov-
ed to handsome country seat near German
town, where he lives in opulence. He was an
orphan, and at the age Of twenty-one having
been bound to a trucker, he went with another
man to work farm on shares. In two years
he was able to take a farm of his own, and
success crowned his efforts in those days the
farmer took his own produce to market and
sold it direct to the consumer, without the aid
of the commission merchant. Then, too, there
was no competition from the south in the mat
ter of early vegetables. The labor of boys
could be had for 50 or So week, but all this
is now changed. On Portor street. between
Thirteenth and Sixteenth there are two large
public schoolLouses, and the boys who used
to work on the farms now attend school, The
farmers are, consequently, obliged to employ
men at this season Of the year and pay them
80 a week.

Nonresident Pupils in City Schools
The Baltimore City School Board at its meet
ing on Tuesday night, received a communica-

brook, Baltimore county, asking that his son
payment of the usual non-resident's tuition
fees. The secretary was directed to reply that
the Board had no authority to waive the col

dinance This led to discussion as to the
rights ofnon-resident pupils In some schools,
notably No. 10, they are so numerous that at
times children residing nearby find it difficult
to obtain admission. The Superintendent was
instructed that in the future all children of
residents of Baltimore shall be accommodated

Danger Turks in It Even When "Unfer
mented. That there is danger in s'unfer-
mented'' wine as we'll as in the other kind. is
amply illustrated and proven by an occurrence
one day this week. A year ago family in
this town, having so many grapes that it was
a bother to get rid of them used a quantity of
them in the manufacture of unfermented
wine, some of which was put up in ordinary
beer bottles, with patent shoppers. On We'd
nesday, guest being in the house, one of the
ladies of the family thought she would help
celebrate Old Defenders Day by opening some
of the unfermented wine as a treat. She pro-
cured one of the bottles and goingto window,
attempted to remove the stopper with an old
pair of scissors. Instantly there was an ex-
plosion like the report of a gun, the bottle
was blown into perhaps thousands of small
pieces and the wine thrown over everything.
For an instant the lady was so dazed that she
scarcely knew what to do, but she soon recov-
cred her selfpossession. Other members of
the family appearing upon the scene, made a
hasty examination and found that she had re-
ceived but two small cuts. one on the hand
and the other on the cheek. The force of the
explosion was such that even the thick glass
in the bottom of the bottle was blown into bits.
How it was possible for the lady to escape as
she did is little less than a miracle Those
who put up unfermented wine should take
warning by the occurrence here related
A Great Big "Milk Shake. Seven hun
dred, out of cargo of fifteen hundred gallons
of milk were spilled last Sunday morning.
about $50 o'clock, as a result of a wreck on the
Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad near Third
avenue, Hampden. 1t took several hours to
have things rightec, and, in the intervening
moments, the milk ran in rivulets down the
railroad track and through a small tunnel to
Jones' Falls, where it covered the surface of
that venerable stream with coat of immacu-
late whiteness. Several gallons were saved by
boys, who secured empty tomato cans and held
them under the upturned car. The baggage
master of the train made narrow escape.
None of the passengers were injured. The
accident was caused, it was thought, by the
spreading of the rails. The road was bloekea
the remainder of the day.

Ii Time .! Peace
Prepare FOR War.

The repeated reveises experienced by
our British cousins in their conflict with
the sturdy Beers on the banks of Tugela
and Kopjes OF Natal, may rightly to some
extent be attributed TO the failure Of heed

and well-founded adage. "ln time Of
peace prepare for war. We will not
just now. however. enter into discussion
as to whose shoulders the fault may be
thrust upon. but will draw at the object
