New sidewalks will be built and

will require time to do all that is
required in the way of street inn
provements. When the system has
been completed, Camden's streets
will be the pride of every citizen.
Miss Alma Greer, secretary, has
very kindly furnished us with a re-
port of the meeting Of the teachers
association at Shiloh last Saturday.
but it was received too late to pub
lish in full. There was a very good
attendance, and the program was
ably discussed by those who were
assigned to subjects. Prof. w. ID.
Cooper and others suggested some
practical ideas which were instruc-
tive and greatly appreciated. The
memorial services were conducted
by Rev j. W. Wardlow. Follow
ing the unveiling of the monument
erected by the teachers at the grave
of Yoscie Nunnery, a few words of
tribute to his memory were spoken
by a number of friends present.
The next meeting of the association
will be at Bakers Chapel Novem-

The CHRONICLE is gratifed to
note the spirit of public enterprise
and the growing interest in home
Improvements among our citizens.
New buildings are going up and
others are contemplated, additions
are being made here and there, old
fences replaced with new ones, and
repairs and renovations are in evil
dence on nearly every hand. The
streets are gradually y assuming the
improved condition long desired,
and it will not be long until there
will be a good sidewalk to every
part of town. May this interest
continue until there are q sufficient
number of dwelling houses erected
to meet the outside demand for a
home here, larger and better ar
ranged school building, neat fences
around every home, a fresh coat Of
paint on every house, and all prem
ises, streets and alleys cleared Of
the accumulated rubbish. With a
little effort backed up by pride ali
this and more can be done.

Growing Peach Seedlings.
Correspondence Country Gentleman.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
Permit me to give the way many of the
leading nursery firms raise peach seedlings
Instead of attempting to raise seedlings
from the pits the spring following the
ripening, the pits are held over in heaps
on a barn floor, or in a damp cellar until
the following spring, when they are sown
thickly in beds. There is no hurry in get
ting them into the ground, and sometimes
the work is not completed till early sum-
mer. These stones lie in the ground until
the following spring, when nearly every
one may be expected TO grow. Those who
follow this plan assume, from experience,
that the stones suffer no harm from not
having been SOwn before, and Sown in May
or June, there is almost a years contact
with the soil before growing time for them
comes, "A period insuring the growing Of
almost every stone. On the other hand,
there is no doubt that if received fresh and
placed in the ground Immediately, good
results might be looked for, stated in
the paragraph referred to. Not many
nurserymen can get large quantities in
good season to at once. They often
have to be bought of dealers and others,
and are not on hand until late for sowing.
Now that it is generally known that
early summer sowing of the last crop gives
sure results, very few care to follow any
other plan, it being much the easier one.
Many of the largest growers of peach trees
for selling follow this plan, and with entire
satisfaction.

wheat Crops and Soils.

Philadelphia Record.
The wheat crop is the most important at
this season, farmers making preparations
in blowing and narrowing. Although the
West is considered the principal wheat
producing section, yet Pennsylvania is one
of the leading wheat-growing States. The
rotation of wheat with clover and corn is
largely practiced. and the fact that farmers
still make wheat prominent crop is evil

Sorghum Syrup Making.

The extensive cultivation of saccharine
sorghum in Kansas and the abundant ma
terial il provides for the manufacture of
really excellent table syrups appear TO Of
fer profitable and inviting field to those
who will persistently work TO purify and
improve it. In paper prepared at the
request of Secretary F. d. Coburn. of the
Kansas Board Of Agriculture, by Mr. A. A.
Denton. of Medicine Lodge Kan, the man
who knows most of sorghum and syrup
making, are presented the most recent
items of interest and modern methods OF
syrup-making. Pertinent extracts from his
paper follow:
Conditions indicate that Kansas syrup
makers have only to bring the quality of
sorghum syrup to equality with sugar-cane
syrup to enter an era of prosperity. The
crystallizable sugar and the uncrystalliz-
able sugar are the same in sugar-cane
juice and sorghum juice. so far as syrup
making is concerned. The mineral matter
in sorghum juice varies from that in sugar
cane juice in no essential respect. The
vegetable impurities are alike The essen
tiaI difference is that sugar-c2ne juice has
but ~ per cent. OF solid matter not sac
charine while sorghum juice has much
more. Sugar-cane juice is naturally so
pure that merely skimming off impurities

is not generally sufficient to make good

tainS enough saccharine substance to pro-

of sorghum syrup depends upon the purity
of the juice. If no impurity is removed
the syrup is intolerable. If such impurity
is removed the syrup is good. If all the
