AWAKE BETTER INTEREST
IN DELAWARE FARM LAND
THAT is WHAT THE FARMERS
TRAlN'' is DOING DOWN STATE
1t Will be at Cheswold Next Saturday,
Dec. 7th Able Instructors are
Enlightening Delaware Farmers

The Pennsylvania Railroad is at
last awakening to the profits that are
lying in lower Delaware and Mary
land, and crop freights, and are max
ing every effort to improve the quail
ity of farming in that section and
bring the crop shipments up to the
large amount that ought to be pro-
duced under modern farming methods.
Last year the railroad got out its first
booklet on the farmlands of Delaware
and Maryland, and this year a special
train, called the Farmers Educa-
tional Train, B" is being run through
the section with large corp of farm
lecturers to awaken interest in better
farming. This train will be followed
in January by Institutes in many
towns. 1t is not a question of senti-
ment with the railroad, but of dollars
and cents, and Delaware people are
looking at the officers of the corpora
tion with new interest since they have
found that the "wide-awake" policy
is to be continued, a policy that is
bound to produce better farmers, bet
ter farms and increased crops, a de-
sired result that will be as pleasing to
the farmers as to the railroad. The
policy is by far the best idea they
have ever put into practice in Della
ware, an will do more to break down
that intangible opposition that is al
ways found against railroads than any
thing else that could be done. The
railroad will find that if the farmer
once gets it into his head that the
railroad is really sincere in bringing
Delaware land up to its proper capac-
ity for production, he will back uI
the company in any proposition ii
makes and that lobbyists will be out
of job, for the farmers of lower
Delaware will then turn to and helI
the railroad. The farmers train Wis
tied Townsend Monday and was
greeted by a goodly crowd. 1t will
be at Cheswold at 3.05 o'clock next
Saturday and the event is being
looked forward to in this locality, the
Grangers especially desirous of being
present.

Muskrat Trapping Profitable Occu
patton to Many Along the Marsh.
The muslkrat is now helping to pay
off the mortgage on some Delaware
homes, and the muskrat hunter is up
early in the morning looking after his
traps. The flesh of this little animal
is regarded as dainty by epicures
and altho it resembles a rat in appear
ance, yet it is the leanest animal
known, as it washes every bit of food
it touches before eating it. Aside
from it's value the glossy hides bring
about 80 cents each. Over in Talbot
County, Md, it is said that just be-
fore Thanksgiving over 300 pounds of
skins were shipped from Trappe, while
each week the number grows. Hard
ware dealers in Easton report the
largest sale of traps they ever had.
Rabbit, coon, muskrat, and mink
hides predominant and this year it is
believed the trade will amount to
$40, 600, in spite of the low price
paid for the furs the past year. The
rabbit and the muskrat are the most
numerous, which, besides the skins,
are sold after being dressed.
