whv Water Won't Frv.

Why cannot we fry in water? Be
cause water can only be heated to the
boiling point, PIP degrees, and any ad-
perature. Two hundred and twelve de
grees of heat will not brown the sur
face Of anything. Fat, on the contrary,
can be made much hotter, the tempera-
ture depending on the kind. There is n
lesson here for the economical house
wife. Don't stuff the stove with fuel
when the vegetables, meat, etc, are
already boiling. They cook no faster
because of the increase Of heat.

The OYeye Daisy.

The daisy is most troublesome in pas
ture and sod land, but is not much seen
in well cultivated fields; consequently
when any seeding down is done it
should be to clover and again plowed
up after the one crop is cut and taken
off, which should be before any daisy
seed has matured.

Selecting Pasture Land.

Many pastures are not well selected
as to character Of soil and location and
hence are of little aid in prohIably
maintaining dairy herd. The best
grass land should be chosen-that is,
land fertile and capable Of retaining
moisture, as occurs where there is Il
clay subsoil. Once established. a good,
reliable pasture is the cheapest and
hence the most profitable means of
maintaining a summer dairy. -

Professor Roberts of the Cornell ex-
pertinent station gives direction for
forming a permanent pasture, which
we condense, says American Agricul-
turist. Plow now and SOW with buck
wheat, to be plowed under when In
bloom. If part of the land is moist,
sow it with four quarts of rape seed
per acre, which may be fed down by
sheep, but if fed or not turn rape stub
BILE under at same time as buckwheat.
II cost is not too great, sow from 10 to
20 bushels fresh Stacked lime per acre
and then harrow it in. After this or
when seed is sown use from 100 to 200
pounds per acre Of a mixture made
from 1000 pounds acid phosphate, 800
pounds dried blood. 200 pounds nitrate
of soda, 300 pounds muriate of potash.
For reseeding he advises the following
mixtures per acre, sown about Sept. i;
Red clover seed, G pounds; alsike clo-
yer, 3 pounds; Kentucky blue grass
orchard grass. meadow fescue and
red top, 315 pounds of each: tim,
othy. pounds. This is very
good mixture, but for New England we
should put four pounds of white clover
in place of the alSike or add it to the
mixture and if the pasture was for
dairy purposes would add four pounds
sweet vernal grass and two pounds tall
oat grass per acre to- insure good early
pasturage. The little extra cost would
be quickly repaid.

POOR TRUSTEES
ASK FOR AID
Appeal to Council for Money
for PeSthOuS0
APPROPRIATION TOO SMALL
When New Building Is Completed
and Furnished II Will Cost
$4,000

Trustees of the Poor of New Castle
county have asked the city Of Whining
ton through Council, TO contribute money
toward the payment of the new pest
house in Farnhurst claiming that the
appropriation made by Levy Court for
that purpose is insufficient to erect such
municipal hospital as this community
demands.
At last nights meeting of City Council
a committee of the trustees, composed Of
Messrs Roberts and Rice, came before
that body and asked that the city do
nate some money that would assist in the
payment for the erection of the pesthouse.
Council as Committee of the Whole,
adjourned to the office of the mayorwhere
the views of the trustees were given by
Mr.. Roberts. In his statements Mr.. Rob
erts said that il was the impression of the
Board Of Trustees that the old Council
had given. individually, but not as a
body. the assurance that the city would
assist in the erection of a pesthouse in
| Farnhurst.
APPROPRIATION TOO SMALL
"The attention of the Levy Court was
called to the necessity of building such an
institution, said Mr.. Roberts, "and that
/ body appropriated $1,000 towards its con
lstruction After the Building Committee
of the trustees had awarded contracts
and the house had been erected it found
that the money appropriated was insult
fcient and that nearly S2,S00 more was
needed to equip the building properly"
In order that this could be done Council
was asked to give about $780, Although
this was urged by Mr. Roberts he said
that the house would be completed at any
rate. The point he brought out strongly
was that although the county almshOusC
was supported by the taxpayers Of New
Castle county, under its charter it was
not compelled to receive cases of con
tagious nature. but was intended only fol
the purpose OF taking care of paupcrs
The erection Of a pesthouse was an addi
ltional expense and. said Mr.. Roberts, as
most contagious disease patients come
from Wilmington. the trustees felt thai
this city would be justified in making o
donation towards its building.
In open meeting the subject wai
brought up and by unanimous vote re-
ferred to Council as a Committee Of the
Whole. Members appear to be divided ol
the question. Some declare that SHOULD
the city appropriate money 10 the insti
tuition the municipality could demani
the admission Of any patient sent ther'
by local authorities. Others say that j
is county institution and no matte
where patients come from, it is the dut,
of the officials Of the almshouse TO admi
them.
Another question raised is why Wi
mington should be asked for a contribu
tion when other towns in the State hav
not been approached ON the subject
Owing TO the present financial condition
of the city it is not probable that any ac
tion will be taken. Said a member o
Council last night: 81 do not object Z
the proposition. hut under the existin
circumstances / do not see how we ca
do anything"

Big orders received Of late by the Har-

Enough orders have been received by
the company the present week TO keep il

that contracts for the construction of
new steamships only recently have been
secured. will necessitate the hiring of
more employees in that department MS
well.
Accordingly. operations in all depart

Managers OF the lots are on the
