THE same old land grab bill has
bobbed up in the Legislature, which
has for its object the sale Of that
part of the public land owned by
the State of Delaware, which lays
between the Atlantic Ocean and
Rehoboth bay. On this land there
are two life saving stations owned
by the United States, and probably
forty small houses, which have
been erected by squatters. The act
which has been introduced in the
house and has been under cOnsid-
Grafton, provides for a survey and
sale of the land under a commission
to be composed of Lieutenant
Governor Thomas Parker, Manlove
Hayes and Ebe w. Tunnel; all
fine gentlemen, but back of this are
the conditions under which the
work is to be done. 1t provides
that the present squatters shall
have a half acre set of to them, and
shall pay certain sum for it to the
commission. Then the balance is
to be set off in five acre lots and
sold at public sale in front of the
State House at Dover. There is
where the whole matter hinges,
and before it becomes a law, an
amendment which will provide for
a survey and submission Of the plot
to the next session of the General
Assembly for its consideration, will
have taken the place of the present
bill in its purposes.

PIaymates and friends OF days Of yore'
You've crossed the mystic river DER
You've left this world OF pain and STRIFE
And entered into better life.
You were taken in youthful bloom
Laid to rest in a cold damp tomb;
But by faith, we can pierce the sky
And feel assured you're safe on high.
Your friends and lsved ones miss you here
But know you're out Of worldly care
And gone to live with Him the Blest'
Who doeth all things for the best.
Our lives shall be made pure and sweet
That we may be able to meet
You on that bright and golden shore
To praise our Saviour evermore.
Your FRIEND, EDYTHE.

A Few Timely Suggestions for the
Farmer

Scarlet clover that is now thinly taken
or on moor land will produce at least one
ton more hay by an application now
brosdcast of 200 lbs. of desolved rock and
9oO kanite mixed per acre and also hep
the crop following the cropof hay. Feed
of all kinds is scarce and high and Will
he higher this summer, especially gralns'
Therefore a great help will come from
s,wine now one acre or more in oats
which can be cut and bound in bundles
and fed in sheaf to horses. have found
this a great help to my horses as a change
of feed. Two bushels of oats and 4OO
pounds of phosphate per acre will give
on good land forty dollars in value to any
other feed. Do not miss making a sett-
ing coop for your setting hens, this will
save lots of worriment and work. % per
cent. more eggs will be hatched, 1t will
keep each hen on her own nest and the
hen will keep in better condition, for she
can get some feed when she wants it, ano
then Immediately go back to her eggs
Do not forget to soak your early potatoes
before planting fifteen minutes in solu
ton of corrosivesutliment. One oz.to 2;
gallon water will do for several barrels o
potatoes. This will prevent scab

Protect Your
Fruit Trees
BY USING
"SCALECIDE -

Mr.. w. E. Todd, of Viola, writes:
1--WE have used SCALECIDE and it
has given us entire satisfaction, and
at the present time l can find no
live scale in our orchard. "
Mr.. HIM. Nc Daniel, Dover, writes:
81 SPRAYED my trees with SCALE
eide last January and found it per-
fectlv satisfactory. I expect to spray
all Of my trees with it this fall"
Mr.. j. A. Barnard, of Wyoming,
writes: 81 used your SCALECIDE
last fall and spring, and can recon-
mend it to all fruit growers. l expect
to spray all of my trees with 1t again
this fall" "
Mr.. T. c. Salevan, 'Frederica, Del
writes: "SCALECIDE' is without
doubt the best goods on the market,
as it has given me GRAND RESULTS.
Messrs. Samuel E. Saxton and w
NJ McIlvaine, of Magnolia, write;
"In the fall of 1905 we found our
orchards badly infested with San
Jose Scale. We concluded to make
a test of the different remedies sug-
gested to us, spraying 10 trees in ad-
Joining rows with each mixture, us
/ inc lime, sulphur and salt, K. l..
Mixture, SCALECIDE and Others
"These trees were examined weekly
bv us and others during the winter.
The results from the use Of SCALE
| eide were so far ahead OF all the
others that both of us used four
barrels apiece this spring and are so
well pleased with the case and sim
plicity in applying, as well as etfec-
| tiveness, that we are looking for
nothing better"
Mr. J. A. Frear, Wyoming, writes
q used SCALECIDE last fall on all
of my peach orchards, and it gave
me GOOD results. One three-year-
old orchard was so badly infested
that l believe, but for SCALECIDE
one-fourth of the trees would have
died. AS it was, I lost very few. l
expect to use it again this winter.

Mr.. Chas. A. Carton, writes:

HARRINGTON.

The temperance people of Harrington
are following the plan of organization for
the local option election which it is be-
lieved will be held next November
throughout Delaware. Both national Or
ders of the old organization known as the
Good Tsmplars and the Sons of Temper
ance are active. Both have made appro-
priations for the work throughout Della
ware. The Harrington society Of the
Sons of Temperance was organized last
week with seventy-five members, and
the organizer is starting other societies at
Cheswold and other towns.
Under the new mixup of pOliticalilines,
we are surmizing as to who will be ap-
pointed postmaster of Harrington when
the present postmasters term expires.
Mr.. Fleming has made very satisfactory
postmaster and there is no reason on that
score for changing; but the powers that
be, are now in close touch with eX post
master Luther Shaw, and when the
federal office jigger once bites, it always
leaves an itching after another appoint
ment. To us on the outside, it is anus
ing, and our only interest is to get good
service from the incumbent.
If ever a town needed improvements
on its streets, Harrington certainly does.
The mud is ankle deep, and when that
dries off, the dust (the result of coal
ashes and refuse being poured on the
street, will be very near binding, and
exceedingly unhealthy. Won't some
good fellow take the matter upon his own
shoulders and work the public sentiment
ND to giving us better streets. Haul of
the present road bed, grade and cover
with crushed stone, and that will give re-
lief; provided people are stopped from
pouring ashes on the improved roadbed
Well there are several cases Of persis
tent, earnest and loving courtships which

intrude upon their secrets, but wedding
