Members of the Delaware State Board
of Agriculture on Saturday we're the guests
of the Delaware Railroad Experimental
or Demonstration Farm Station, at Bacon,
Sussex County, between Laurel and Del
mar. At this farm a great educational
work is being carried on The forty-scre
farm, near the station at Bacon, is part
of a tract of land which was considered
among the poorest Of Sussex County 1t
has now, however, been brought to such
state of cultivation that all manner OF
vegetables and products Of the farm are
raised. Among them are lima beans,
string beans, sweet corn, onions, okra,
peppers. sweet and white potatoes, tOma.
toes, Chinese cabbage, cantaloupes, water
melons, cotton plants, clover, COW peas
and SOW beans The object OF planting
that many varieties has been to show what
can be accomplished on land which was
supposed to be virtually worthless and
unfit for the growth of anything but
weeds All of the experiments have more
than paid for themselves and it has been
clearly demonstrated that the now barren
land Of lower Delaware can be turned to
good use.

had to don sweaters for warmth. The
passage at sea from New York to Halifax
was most delightful, no fogs or strong
winds, but the cold was so great as to
make US feel comfortable in sweaters,
overcoats and steamer rugs. This is a
great relief from the heat we suffered at

Halifax is beautifully located city
with an excellent harbour and interest
ingly historic places, mainly OF military
nature The shipping is of a diversified
nature consisting mainly Of the products
of the great fisheries, tho some manufac-
tured articles form a good part The
crOwning eminence of the city-a high
hill is occupied by the Canadian Royal
Artillery with their paraphernalia, and
the remains of fOrtiticatiOns built by sue

nterlacing macadam roads of excellent
character, aud relics of the fierce marine
lattles which were often waged about
his important place in the primal days
