ming of the great Diamond State Tele-
phone Company 5 telephone system com
prising now more than 100 miles of
poles and having more than 1000 phones
on its own lines. This growth covers a
period of only H. years
The company was incorporated in 1897
with Il capital stock S2j,0OO. 1t did not
branch out extensively until 1899, when
the present Superintendent. Mr. w. H.
Baker took charge In that year con-
nections were made with the d. and A
line and since that time the Diamond
State has made connections with every
long distance Bell telephone i'll the
United States.
The company. after rebuilding it's own
line, began to reach out for other lines
and the first purchase made was that of
the Cecil County Line. Since that time
the local company has taken in the "B''
Line of Caroline county; the Easton
line; the Dorchester county line; the
Bethel. Sharptown and Laurel line; and
other smaller lines These were all
Maryland lines and are known under
Diamond State control as the Eastern
Shore Telephone Company.
Then the Maryland and Delaware
Telephone Company was organized to
take over the Salisbury plant; the Stan
dard Telephone Company of Crisfield;.
the Citizens Company of Wicomico
county. and the Snow Hill line. So
that now the lineage under control of
the local company is about equally di-
vided between Delaware and Maryland.

GEORGETOWN. DEL. Sept. 27-That

law, for kidnapping child under the
age of II years lends peculiar interest to
the arrest of Edward Cramfield, who is
charged with clipping with the wife of
Daniel Baker and stealing his two chill

was a nurseryman employed by X. s.
Johnston, of near Georgetown, and he is
the first person arrested under the new
statute. He has been committed to Jail
without bail by Magistrate Purnell.
1t is understood that Cramfield has en-
ployed counsel and will take immediate
steps for release on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, upon the ground that the
mother of the children, their guardian

and that her relationship released either

And yet the President asserts that

of that tariff stand for Il continuation
of the reign of Coal Trust prices.
The paper quoted above continues,
saying
1.-The Coal Trust maintains stoutly
that anthracite is on the free list, and
even President Roosevelt was misled
into saying few days ago that the
Coal Trust could derive no benefit from
the tariff, since there was no duty on
coal As matter of fact, there is prac-
tioally prohibitive duty on coal.
The coal schedule artfully provides
that on anthracite containing less thaa.
% per cent of carbon duty of 81 cents
per ton shall be levied. Anthracite
containing more than 81 per cent of
carbon is free. But NJ foreign coal con-
tains more than 30 per cent of carbon.
This was, of course, perfectly well
known to the gentleman who framed
the coal schedule of the Dingley law. 1t
was accordingly. a shrewd trick to play
on the people of this country to make
such an arbitrary standard of the per-

GATE THAT CANNOT SAG.
Invented by New York State Farm
err Who Considers 1T Device OF
Rare Merit.

A subscriber living in Westfeld,
Chautauqua county, n. Y, who pre-
fers that his name should not be
used in print, sends to the New
York Tribune description of a gate
which he constructed several years
ago on a farm where he then lived
It's great merit is that it never says.
For gateposts he used eight by
eight timbers, set fully II feet apart.
With the idea of letting a load of
hay through, the cap piece ought to
be fully IL feet above the ground,
and may be advantageously cut out
of six by eight stuff. The posts
should be set in stone or cement, SO
as to be proof against the action of
the frost A sill or threshold is also
provided. This should measure six
by eight or eight by eight and con-
sist of oak or chestnut. The better
the timber for the rest of this frame
the longer it will last.
The full length upright of each
gate is made by four by four hard
wood scantling. The upper ends are
rounded, and inserted in holes bored

Preparing SOIL for Potatoes.

Preparation of the land is an es-
sential too often neglected. 1t has
been asserted that not infrequently
one-half of the potato crop is lost by
means of insufficient preparation of
the soil. Of one of the noted potato
growers of Wisconsin it used to be
said: HE works the ground so much
that the potatoes do not know in
which direction to grow to find the
surface. So they fill the soil full"
Sometimes the best of potato grow
ers slight the preparation of their
soil because of rush of other farm
work at the time their potato land
is being prepared. No after cultiva-
ton can atone for the neglect of
thorough preparation; for in no case
can the soil under the hills be af-
fected by the cultivation given in
the rows.-Farmers' Review.

THE AGE OF TOOLS.
Farmers Must Keep Pace with MOD
ern Progress or They VIII IN
evitabIy Fall Behind.

The tools and machinery of Amer
ica are capturing the world. The ma
chine. with it's unerring accuracy, has
taken the place of human hands in
every department Of industry, and has
immensely increased the productive
capacity of the artisan. On the farm,
too. the same rule controls. The mod
ern binders have superseded the old,
slow methods of the harvest, and made
the great grain fields possibility.
TO the effective use of machinery on
the farm is due the great exporting
capacity of the country, and in every
avocation in life it is the man behind
the machine that is moving civilization
forward.
Brain power is taking the place of
human muscle, and the result is an
elevation of the farmer to a higher
plane, requiring the application of
business methods to agriculture. The
inevitable tendency of the increased
use of machinery on the farm is the
increase in acreage in the hands of
one man, since the machines make in
tensive culture possible over larger
areas. The more effective the ma
chimes are made the wider scope they
will need, and great farms, conducted
on wise business methods, will become
more and more common as men realize
the possibilities of such culture The
great accumulations of capital will not
always be kept out of the farm, for
the capitalists will come to see what
money will do in businesslike farm
ing. 1t is the age of tools and ma
chinery, and the farm must keep up
with the procession. = Practical
