Tobacco Reek.

and i'm e1evating the status of that bunch
of trouble. the Philippines: our foreign
missions. and our great systems of char

mains that the sons of Nippon in their
war with Russia treated their prisoners
with far more humanity than our nation
does its own soldiers.
In the great oriental conflict not once
did the Muscovite win victory. but from
the YaIu to Mukden was driven from the
field. and often left to his victors the
care of his sick, his wounded and his
dead. SiXty-seven thousand sick Russian
prisoners were brought TO Japan from
Manch,Iria and nurscd back to health.
And to the eternal credit and glory of
Japan let it he remembered that from the
first aid dressing on the firing line. to the
transport, the subsistence, the medical

Fog Nuisance.
Lodge. in London Times

Sir Oliver Lodge, iu London Times.
There are three methods of dealing with
the incubus of fog; one is to take steps
not to assist artificially in its formation
another is to oppose the natural causes
which lead to it; and third is to dis
perse 1t when formed. The first is by far
the best and most economical plan, and in
respect to town fogs is quite the most
hopeful and feasible 4 fog which con-
sists solely of condensed aqueous vapor

and those OF the enemy.
Therefore. without minimizing the

at the Yalu, Port Arthur. Mukden, Shaho,

the fact remains that Japan's most

Coast Artillery and Mobile Army.

From Army and Navy Life.
If we succeed in driving the enemy s
fleet from the sea, the necessity for
keeping the coast artillery in their bat
teries will have ceased. What shall we
do with these regular soldiers? Shall we
send them into the field with the field
forces that have been protecting the rear
of the Notifications shall we let them
stay at home? England and Japan have
armed their coast artillery with siege
guns for use when coast artillery can be
sent into the field. If two such nations
find this expedient. one the greatest ma
val power. the other the possessor of a
strong navy and of an army that is a
model for the nations the victor. too. i'll

greater is the necessity for us to provide

operations after our fleet has gained con-

shall not be the last to follow their eX-

more Importance to the people Of

in the next four years, as they will
then decide as to the financial poll
cies of this State, as we'll as dis

Aside from any personal feeling the
cold facts of business interests must
be the prime factors of making up
the final decision. Under the di-
rection of the Republican admins

Milford Grange.

At the Grange on Saturday, J. J. Ross
opened the talk on Selection of Seed
by saying, it was very important to PLAN
only the best seed for any crop. It il
said that only so per cent of seed bought
in the market germinate and make good
crop. Any one can apply the water test
when with the exception of tomatoes and
par7Dips, the good seeds and the poor
ones float. If proper care were taken in
selecting seed wheat in Delaware, for one
year only, the crop would be increased
% per cent. The same applies to corn.
With care in the selection of seed the
yield would be largely increased. Some
advise going to the field 20 select seed
corn but Mr. Rosa thinks it can be Sc
lected when husked. With proper seed
and cultivation it is possible to have a
good ear on each stalk and this would
mean one hundred and fifty bushels of
sheiled corn per acre. There is to be a
meeting Of corn growers in this State
December 2n1 and 3rd. Judges in Sc
lecting corn judge on ten points and few
OF the ears as ordinarily grown would |
count many of these points. To get best
results the selection of seed corn must be
kept up year after year.
Mr.. WOodal has used the same land for
growing corn in connection with crimson
'lover and counts on a yield of 100 bas-
lets to an acre. In March he broadcasts
100 pounds of rock and KANT, half and
lalf, per acre. This is all the fertilizer
le uses. Good seed of both white and
elbow corn may be obtained in this Vi
unity. Mr.. Woodall has raised the same
ariety of late cabbage for twenty years
nd for the sake of good seed pays much
lore than the price for which ordinary
ed may be bought.
Fred Whitehead thinks COW peas i'm.

W peas and 5000 to cotton each wear. :
