This device is used to carry manure

terial from one part of the farm to the

Low TRUCK FOR FODDER.

ly agreeable to go out in the cold OF
perhaps the snow to bring in fodder
for stock if a supply has not been
provided convenient to the place
where it is fed. A very good way to
make this low truck for hauling from
the field or shock is to take the front
wheels of a wagon and make a long
rack from poles or by G's, with stand
ards in front and rear. For rear wheels
take the wheels of hinder truck, and
you have a fodder vehicle that answer:

Speaking Of what newspaper does
for a community, United States Sena-
tor David Davis of Illinois, made an
address that remains ever green IN the
memories of newspaper men. He said:
every year every local paper gives
from 90 to 5000 free lines for the
benefit of the community in which it
is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor in proper
ton to his means does more for his
own town than any other man. He
ought to be supported not because you
happen to like him or admire his writ
ing the best, but because loca
paper Is the best investment a com
munity can make"

The TIMES starts with this issue a
serial story, ''A Historical Sketch of
the Old White Rose Minstrels and the
Harmony Band of Smyrna. AS the
publication of this article will take up
several issues it should be followed
closely for the local history that il
contains. This old organization in
cluded some of Smyrna's most popu-
lar men and the memories recalled of
those ''happy golden years" should be
intensely interesting to Smyrnians
and former Snlyrnians.

CHINESE PHILOSOPHY.
Some of the Clever Epigrams of the
FIowery Kingdom.

FIowery Kingdom.
Their proverbial philosophy shows
that the Chinese are very thoughtful.
Here are a few specimens: "The best
and strongest man in the world finds
that he cannot escape the two words
NO continuance Happiness con-
sists in a medium station" when
you are sitting quietly and alone, think
of your faults; when conversing with
others, do not talk of the faults of
others" Correct yourself on the same
principle that you correct others, and
excuse others on the same principle
that you excuse yourself" HE who
requires much from himself and little
from others will keep himself from be-
ing the object of resentment" 'He
who pursues a stag regards not hares.' y
"a gem cannot be polished without
friction or a man perfected without ad-
versity" ''The gods cannot help a
man who loses opportunities
The Chinese call harmless blusterer
"a paper tiger" and compare man
oyerestimating himself to rat falling
into scale and weighing itself Over
doing thing is 4 hunchback making a
| bow.
You have only to watch their story
and fortune tellers in the streets to see
that the Chinese are natural orators
You can see that by their gestures, even
If you do not understand what they

The Editor acknowledges receipt of
copy of the new 1906 Kodol Almanac

portant feature is without doubt the
very simply constructed 200 Year Cal
endar, whereby with absolute accur-
acy you can tell the day of the week
on which any event occurred during
one hundred years of the past, or on
which any date will occnr during the
next hundred years, thus giving the
day of the week on which any birth,
death, marriage or any important event
may have happened.

Some of the Wilmington papers
have been agltating the question of
Sunday trains over the Delaware rail
road. This is an old question and is
hard to solve. For some reason the
present management Of the railroad do
not see their way clear to provide this
accommodation. 1t used to be said that
the law, or the charter would not per
NIT it. But, for years Sunday trains
have been run. Two passenger and
several freight trains run over the road
every Sunday. True the passenger
trains are what is known as ''owl
trains;" .but the freights run at all
hours. The matter has been more dis
cussed lately, because of the fact that
Christmas Day and New Years both
were on Monday. Many former resi-
dents of Delaware. who wanted to
come home" for the holidays could
not do so, as there was no way to gel
there except , coming on saturday.

At the close of one year and the be-
ginning of another when it is proper
to devote time to ref ection and re-
count the manifold blessings that have
accrued, we as a municipality as well
individuals have much to be thankful
for. While the year just closed has
not shown any remarkable degree of
material prosperity, yet Smyrna has
accomplished some things and has
been blessed in some things that are
worthy of passing mention. When we
entered the year 1895 the smallpox
cases were threatening the health o
the community and dire results were
feared as to the probable outcome, but
thanks to the vigilance of the Board
of Health and the Town Council the
epidemic after a number of deaths was
suppressed Since then Smyrna has
been moving along in the even tenor
of it's way aud has enjoyed full mea
sure of health and prosperity. The
merchants and business men have had
good year, the farmers despite the
falling off of the peach crop have had
peace and plenty in other fruit crops
as well as grain crops and we as a peo-
pie have been abundantly blessed. In
material progress Smyrna has gained a
promising industry in the revival of
the old basket mill and the hum of it's
machinery and the steady employment
of men. and boys has been a welcome
ss.rrlsesyftive to the business thrift of
Smyrna industries. The same can be
said of the shirt factory, brought here
by Ralph E. Staats. The Improvement
to navigation in Smyrna River has been
another thing accomplished that the
people as whole feel thankful for. NJ

CIDER VINEGAR.
Suggestions From Approved Methods
of Making 1t.


Use only ripe, sound fruit If the
fruit is dirty, it should be washed;
otherwise there. is danger of introduc.
ing micro organisms into the juice that
will interfere with the normal alcoholic
and acetic fermentation. For the same
reason cleanliness should also be OBJ
served in grinding and pressing the
fruit and in the handling of the juice.
For profit the pressing should be done
with power press. With hand press
only two gallons of juice per bushel of
apples could be secured at the Vir-
ginia station, while with power press
four gallons were obtained. Some
times water is added to the pomace
and a second pressing made. Such
juice is deficient in sugar and will not
rake vinegar of a standard quality.
When possible the freshly pressed ap-
pie juice should be placed in some
large receptacle and allowed to stand
for few days before putting into bar
rels.
Alcoholic Fermentation.
When fresh cider is placed in barrels
and stored in ordinary cellars alcoholic
fermentation is not completed until the
end Of about SIX months. With cellar
temperature of go to 90 degrees f..
this time can be considerably reduced.
If yeast is added to the fresh cider.
fermentation can be completed in three
months or less. If compressed yeast is
used, about one cake to each five gal.
Ions of juice should be used, after first
thoroughly softening the yeast with
lukewarm water.
Acetic Fermentation.
The New York state experiment sta
! ton advises that after alcoholic fer
mentation is completed the clear por
| ton of the liquid be drawn off, the
barrel rinsed out and the clear liquid

mother should be added. If the bar
rel is stored in a cool cellar it will
require twenty-one to twenty-fou
months or more to change all the alco
hol into acetic acid. If the alcohol,
fermentation is FASTENED by the addi
ton of yeast and storage in a warn
temperature and the acetic fermenta
tion favored by the use of vinega
starter" it is possible to produce goot
merchantable vinegar in six to twelv
months.
