tracks Of the Delaware Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Mt. Pleasant,
with part OF the head off Coroner Purks
was notified and Thursday made an in
vestigation.

Coroner Purks thinks that he was EN-
ployed either on the railroad or on a
farm. From the injuries the man sus-
tanned the coroner thinks he fell from a
train, and Thus met his death. There are
no marks about the body or face, the
injury being about the top of the head.

DELAWARE CITY SHAKEN

DELAWARE CRY, Nov. l5th.-The target
practice at Fort DUPONT Yesterday with
the large mortars attracted great deal OF
attention and considerable anxiety was
held for windows, in town. Nineteen
shots in all were fired. The first three
shots we're fired singIy and then four sal.
vos Of four shots each were fired at a
range Of 7240 yards. Good scores were
made by the expert gunners of Fort dn-
Pont. When it is considered that 325
pounds Of powder and 1000 pounds Of
projectile were fired at each salyo it can
be seen that the danger to the windows
in the proximity of the fort is consider
able.
The target is not seen by the men in
the mortar pits, but the range, direction
and full particulars and directions as tc
firing are given by telephone by the off
GERS in the range tower to the gun com
manders in the pits. A gun commander
and all his force have to be expert mathe
maticians to be expert artillerymen.

at once a market for considerable

Quoting the business. First and
most important, it furnishes a
market for the beets. A factory
also consumes a large amount of
lime rock, which of necessity must
also be local product. 1t usually
consumes lime rock to the extent of
about ten per cent of the crude
weight of beets worked, which in
the case of 1000 ton factory
would be 100 tons Oh lime rock Der

The establishment of factory in

split or broken. People tell of one
farmer in Colorado who found his
beet field covered with debris
brought down from the mountains
by the fioods-logs, brushwood,
straw and all sorts of things--but
he calmly raked it off and harvested
the best crop in that part of the
country.
BETS AS A STOCK FOOD.
/. There are indirect benefits in
sugar-beet growing that the farmer
must take into consideration, along
with the direct, as follows: He
learns that sugar beets are very
valuable crop to grow for his stock.
1t is estimated that they are worth
two-thirds as much for feeding as
for the production Of sugar. They
may enter into food ration for any
kind OF stock. The farmer growing
beets for a sugar factory retains for
feeding the tops. He contructs a
silo and they enter largely into all
animal food rations for winter
feeding. For stock feeding it has
both nutritive and sanitary value.
IMPROVES THE LAND.
The high cultivation that must be
given the land through deep plow-
ing, thorough narrowing, and con-
slant wedding and cultivating final
~ makes the land of superior quail
ty for any purpose It will grow
better corn or wheat, and at less
expense, on account Of the absence
of weeds and grass. Finally, through
rotation, other fields are brought
under this high state of cultivation,
until. the whole farm is at it's best
condition of soil fertility and pro-
ductiveness.
The method that has brought this
about serves as an object lesson to
the farmer and the farming neigh
borhood. A better cultivation will
prevail, and the science of farming
