FARMER PLANTER.
THE GRIP OF WINTER HERE.
ant Question-Each Season
Brings Its Work.

Stern, cold uDfeeling winter is now
Upon us. 1t has set in with unusual
severity in France, England and the
United States OF America. Her snowy
mantle has already spread itself over
all the north. We of the south are not,
as yet, showed under, but the chilling
blast of winters breath has greeted
us and warned us.
WINTER WORK.
What shall we do now? This is an
important question. Each season
brings its appropriate work.
The fall has been passing lovely.
Long-continued sunshine has has
tened to maturity the crops of all
kinds. The spring and summer had
been late, wet and cool. The crops
were slow in maturing. Cotton was
particularly late. But October and
November sunshine FASTENED to ma
turity the early and the late. The
crop has been gathered under the
most favorable conditions. Most of it
has been marketed as fast as it was
picked.
The price has been kept down by
the extra heavy receipts. Now it is
nearly all gone from the producers
of over-selling?. The farmers lose
millions of dollars every fall, simply
by selling too fast.
Such has been the eagerness to pick
and market the cotton, that very
many have failed to sow grain at the
right time. To such the old adage,
better late than never" may per-
haps apply. Sometimes late grain sue
ceeds. Generally it fails.
But a more serious matter is the
halfway preparation that has been
given to much of land sown to grain.
This has been an ideal fall for deep
blowing and thorough pulverization
many have been too busy with cotton
to do this work as it ought to be
done.
Through all the vicissitudes of
wind and rain, one thing has shown
itself everywhere. Thorough prepare
ton, subsoiling and narrowing have
paid on all crops.
Where the hard pan has been bro
ken the excess of water has rapidly
sunk into the subsoil and left the soil
i'm better condition than where this
work had not been done When the dry
weather came these fields have sup
piled the needed moisture from be-
low. Consequently the crops on these
fields are good. Never was the thor
ough preparation put to severer
test. and never has it been more tri-
umphantly indicated.
These farmes are not washed. The
manure and fertilizers have not been
carried off, and the owners have been
paid for all time and expense for do
ing good work. We urge any farmer
to use every suitable day, before the
winter rains and freezes set in. Plow
and pillow deep. The soil once made
deep is easily kept so.
Look after the comfort of your
stock for the winter. 1t never pays
to let an animal suffer from cold.
Look after your stalls and your sup
ply of bedding. Keep the animals
comfortable by frequent changes in
the bedding. Save all the solid and
liquid droppings in the same way.
Keep ell manure under cover until
ready to be spread upon the fields.
Spreading on freshly plowed or har-
rowed fields is better than compost
ing. Keep fire out of your farms. Keep
all vegetable matter to plow in.-

WILMINGTON A. A. DEFEATED;
WILMINGTON TAXES ANOTHER

Roxborough has been defeating
everything that came its way lately
and yesterday the Wilmington A. A.
proved no exception. Perhaps the UNI
pire was off in most of his decisions
but Manager Frysinger's men were off,
TOO, in their playing, and WinIham. who
was in the box, was away up in the air.
He gave ten bases Un DlLlis, and this
helped his opponents score, and also
helped the A. A. team lose the game.
Perhaps he was disgusted with the
decisions of the umpire, and also with
the playing OF the team behind him. An
old fan" said he never saw the Will
mington A. A. play such poor ball, and
this was the opinion Of one of the
O'Neil was the only man on
the team who played a good game.

relied upon at any time.

Dover, Aug. 14.--A mistake of the
sight proved a costly blunder to G. w.
Niclkerson. of Kenton, while in Dover
on business. Seeing a well-dressed
man whom he supposed to be a friend
who wanted to converse with him pri
vately, Nickerson started to follow him
down the railroad tracks from the
Delaware railroad station. The man
kept going on, around the long curve,
and continuing toward Wyoming. and
Mr.. Nickerson continued TO follow
him. Finally the man in the lead
slowed up, and allowing Nickerson TO
catch up with him, turned and felled
him. beating him mercilessly. The
supposed friend left Mr.. Nickerson,
whom he had taken for highwayman,
unconscious. and while lying by the
track in this condition, some tramps
came along and riied his pockets.

A long line of goose eggs was the
only thing the Norristown team could
PUN out of the game with the VIII
mington team yesterday. The visitors
were outclassed in every respect, and
at times they became so discouraged
that they played like schsolboys. They
had Burns in the box, thinking, per
haps, that he would be effective against
the locals. Such was not the case,
however, and in the first two innings
six runs were made off him. Good
hard hitting was the cause of the runs.
Myers pitched for Wilmington, and he
did excellent work.
In the fifth inning Mullin made a
double steal. feat that is seldom seen
on a local diamond.
Zahcr the centre fielder for the vis-
itors, was the only man who reached
third base. The local team played al
fast fielding game, and If it continues
it will accomplish that long-desired
feat of winning twenty-six straight
games.
