sary to get good results. How
much better they could do by study
of methods of others, and observa-
ton. never enters into their brain
for serious consideration. They
lack enterprise and preservation.
The articles referred to says:
The farmers held a very success
full Institute here this week, which
was we'll attended. These gather
ings, which are in fact farmers
schools, are of incalculable benefi
and we believe the remarkable i'm
provement in the methods of farm
ing in Kent and Sussex Counties is
directly traceable to these meet
ings. The farmers who attend, not
only have the opportunity to hear
almost every phase of farming dis
cussed, but they hear a practical
lecture by some expert on the best
way to grow the diflerant crop, the
preparation of the soil, the use of
fertilizer, in fact anything and
everything the farmer may want to
know. It is no wonder they are
well attended and better attended |
every year, but it is surprising that
every farmer does not attend. These
lectures are free and the wisdom of
and golden words of
advice from men who have given
1ours to the study and experiments
n the particular lines of farming
hey lecture about, is to be had by
,ur farmers without cost. We
would think every man engaged in
arming would seize such an oppor-
unity, to gain the knowledge to
make a success of his business, be-
ause if he does follow the advice
.iven at these Institutes and pur-
ues the methods explained and
lught at them, he will be success
IL in growing the crops he attempts
} grow. And success not only
leans goodscrops, but crops that
ay and certainly that is the object !
f every farmers endeavor.

Good Work Brings Its Reward.

In 1905 the ViDysrd Shipbuilding
Company Of Milford, built a small
steamboat named P. 1. ThistlewOod,
which was sold to parties who used her
in trading along the coast of the Gulf Of
Mexico. She was wrecked-Or rather
blown ashore during the great storm Of
a year ago, and sold as she lay to Cap.
tain F. D. Phillips, of the Charleston
Edisto and Beauford Line of South
Carolina. This week Captain Wilson
NJ Vineyard received a letter from him
which tells its own story. II was a
letter in which business matters were
discussed, and we publish only that
part which is Of interest to the public
in that it touches one Of our home in
dustries. The letter says:
bought the little steamer last Aug
ust, but have changed her name 10
Pilot Boy. Every one who has seen
her is surprised to see such a well built
vessel While she was running on the
Gulf coast Of Florida, her steering gear
broke during storm, and she went on
the beach with several others, and her
and withstandtng the terri
BILE ordeal she went through, proved
that she was built to stand just what
she did. 1t cost about 81, 900 to get her
of and running again but today she !

WE presume that some people
think newspaper men are persistent
dunners. Let a farmer place him
self in a similar position and see if
he would not do the same. Suppose
that he raises a thousand bushels Of
corn, and his neighbor should come
and buy, and the price was one
dollar or less, and says, 81 will pay
the amount in a few days" As
the farmer does not want to be
small about the matter, he says, tAll
right" Another comes the same
way, and another, until the whole
thousand bushels of corn is trusted
to thousand different people and
no one of the different persons con
cern himself about it, for it is
small amount they owe the farmer
and of course that would not help
him any. He does not realize that
the farmer has frittered away his
entire crop of corn, and that its
value is due in a thousand little |
driblets, and that he is seriously
in his business, because
his debtors treat it as little matter
But if all would pay him promptly,
which they could as well as not, it
would be large sum to the farmer
and enable him to carry on a bust
ness without difficulty.

A lady who understands adver-

looked upon as a shopping fend ;
she does not care to go into a store
and have a merchant show all his
stock in order to find out whether
he keeps what she wishes to pur-
chase and whether the article is
sold at price she can afford. It
is much easier and pleasanter to
look through the advertisements of
a paper than it is to bore the clerks
and waste her own time. Next to
the local news items, the advertise
ments in a paper stating articles for
sale with prices, will keep much of
the money that goes to the large

Colonel Mustard, of Lewes seems
to be the most promising candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor. He is consistent
Democrat on the lines followed by
former Governor Tunnel, and then,
too, he has resources, they want
badly, to. No matter what you
hear a democrat say about not
needing any money, you will find
the campaign manager we'll sup
piled with the necessary funds to
make the same old campaign.
They want a candidate who has
funds, too, and they will get him.
The selection of a postmaster for
Lewes has caused quite a commo-
ton. The successful appointee
does not appear to have had the
backing or support of any inAuen-
