LIMA BEAN CROP
TOTAL FAILURE
One GrOw1r Gathers Only a
Quarter of a Peck off
1000 Vines

New Castle county farmers and
market gardeners are in quandary
owing to conditions existing az pres
ont Following bright prospect for
large crops came disease and heavy
rains and ruin was the result.
one of the largest growers OF farm
produce said to-day that out of 1900
lhms OF lima beans only a quarter of
peck was secured. In his opinion
the great trouble Is now I'm the ground
J The beans came mp in fine form. but
not "a blossom appeared on the vines,
and. of course, there could be no pods.
IN the King street market to-day the
| lima beans sold at 81 basket or %
cents a quart. The heavy rains are
rotting the pods and the growers sny
il is going from bad to worse.
Tomato is King.
The tomato is king this week. Ten
/ days ago tomatoes were sold for 10
cents a basket and to-day they brought
from 40 to 20 cents basket. None but
good Tomatoes can be placed in the
baskets and as the supply les short up
Went the prices.
Those that were ripe We're split open
and the canneries are keeping the
supply down Growers say that the
prospects for the late tomatoes are
very poor
Peaches Galore.
Thousands of baskets OF peaches
were ir market to-day They We're of
every variety and price. From 40
cents To- Sil5 went the price and
housekeepers from AN parts of the city
ilocSed to the market ana bought,
! fearing this would be the last chance
to get peaches for winter use.
General Notes.
Eggs are in demand ana fresh ones
sold in q hurry There Is an inclna-
ton at present on the part OF some
farmers to palm off crate eggs for
fresh ones When the eggs We're che1p
the farmers simply held them back
ana now cold storage ones are dumped
ON the market and instead Of fresh
eggs the people are getting, In many
Instances. eggs of foul odor and ac-
companying taste.
Potatoes are going 10 be scarce. The
heavy rains have rotted them by the
wholesale and IT Is safe to say that
during the coming winter the potatoes
win be dear.
Cabbage belongs to everybody as at

assured.
Sweet potatoes We're in demand and

ABOUT GLASS IN THE BATHROOM
Glass Appointments Are Not Neces-
sariIy Expensive and Are Ideal.

Many bathroom is fitted out with
glass appointments-shelv and racks

mings OF nickel, soap cups and the
little fixings," all of glass Even the
wooden window stills in an occasional
bathroom are removed aid heavy
glass shelf substituted, says the Chi.
cago Chronicle.
Fortunately, glass OF the quality
used for such purposes is not neces-
sarily expensive, although, as in
everything else. the question of how
much it shall cost really depends upon
the individual buyer.
Bowls and cooking spoons of glass
heavy, but almost unbreakable with
ordinary handling-are so satisfactory,
by virtue Of their cleanliness. that the
woman who tries either or both in
stantly becomes a convert to their use.
Perhaps the most unusual glass-mad e
piece of all is rolling-pin, hollow. and
so made that it can be opened and the
hollow filled with cracked ice. when
working with pastry, which must be
kept well chilled, even during the roll
ing process.
Great slabs of glass make the best

AR oLo PAINTERS IDEAS.

The autumn season is coming moro
and more to be recognized as a most
suitable time for housepainting. There
IS no frost deep in the wood TO make
trouble for even the best job OF paint
Ing, and the general seasoning OF the
summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely TO be settled
for the necessary length OF time to
allow all the coats TO thoroughly dry.
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money il they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days (weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. Ii is inconvenient Of
course, but, X one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, 1t would add t~o
or three years to the life of the paint"
All this is assuming, OF course, that,
the paint used is the very best to-
be had. The purest of white lead and
the pTest of linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper Of the cheap mixtures,
often known as White Lead" and oil
which has been doctOred with fish oil,
benzine, corn oil or other of the
adulterants known to the trade are

painter are useless to prevent the
cracking and peeling which make
houses unsightly in year or so and.
therefore. make painting bills too fire.
