"Beefsteak."

One of our brother editors wrote the
following while suffering from fit of
indigestion. We reproduce it to show
what pessimist will write when he is
in one of his moods:
"Beefsteak is an article of food
which is removed by force from cows,
which are too old and feeble to resist.
1t is the most durable form of meat
now in use and is car15le of great re-
sistanee. Beefsteak is usually bought
on the hoof at a. cents a pound by lib
eral gentlemen known as packers, who
wish to act for their country's good
and at the same time extract a bare
living profit for themselves and their
dependent families. By the time they
have tranformed the hide into pony
skin coat, the horns into glucouse and
the hoofs into shaving soap, what is
left is sold at rs cents per pound to
people with rubber set teeth and love
of adventure. In order to be enjoya-
BILE, beefsteak should be cooked over a
slow fire for one week prior to the
MONDAY meal. The most expensive
variety is porterhouse steak, one slice
of which will cause a $12-a-week salary
to sag at the knees. This kind of meat
is undressed and allowed to ferment in
a refrigerator, and is never served I'M
til old age has put it on the defensive.
Then there is that hardy household
favorite, the round steak, which has a
very stubborn disposition and has to be
carved with a two-handled cross cut
saw. The flank steak is by-product
with cravenette finish. and should
either be Fletcherized or fed to some
household pet. The fiber of the aver
age hotel besfsteak is not approached
by anything except the split hickory
spoke and the better grades of linole.
um, and is seldom molested by anybody
after the first round. The fortitude OF
the American beefsteaks reflects itself
in the American character and stom.
ach, neither of which is afraid of any
thing A brisk bout with a beetsteak
three times a day, gave England hei
navy and her nerve, and it is making
America the reddest blodded infant Of
the national earth.

Get Your Winter Supply of Stamps.

Carriers on the rural mail routes are
very sincerity hoping that all patrons
will provide themselves with stamps
before winter closes in. 1t is unfair to
ask carriers to pick pennies from mail
boxes in cold weather. Besides, the
postal regulations protect them from
such imposition and direct that all mat
ter placed in boxes be stamped ready
for gathering by carriers. In the past
drivers have been very accommodating
in respect to this matter of stamping
mail for patrons. Now, for the winter
at least, they ask return courtesy and
justice of having people provide them
selves with stamps and place mail mat
ter in the boxes ready for gathering.
They will decline to take out pieces not
stamped. If it is necessary to place
money in the box, enclose it in an
envelope or securely wrap it in a piece
of paper.
Just consider yourself a driver for
one day in bleak weather. Imagine
how you would enjoy barring your hand
and thrusting it into hundred or
more mail boxes after loose coins

PEACH CULTURE
AT STATE COLLEGE
Professor MCCue Gives Inter-
eSting Facts Resulting
From Experiment

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Sept. 6.-Prof. Charles A.
McCue, horticulturist at the Delaware
College Experiment Station. has an
nounced the result of some interesting
experiments with fertilizers on a section
of the young peach orchard at the col
lege farm The picking of the crop of
fine Alberta peaches was concluded this
week. The crop of Georgia Belle was
destroyed by the late frosts last spring.
1t was on the plot of six acres of the
Alberta variety containing 600 trees
that the experiments were made. From
this six acre orchard this year the total
number of baskets picked was 1850, for
which the college received 81 per basket.
These trees are six years old and bore
a crop for the first time last year. While
he has not gotten up the exact figures Of
cost as yet, Professor McCue said he
was under the impression that the reve-
nue. from the two crops would just about
equal the total expense of the orchard,
including trees, labor, spraying, fertil-
izers and every other cost for the six
years that they have been in the ground.
Professor McCue, in talking of fertil-
izer experiments, said: "The orchard Of
800 Alberta trees is divided into "a
plots, and there have been Is different
fertilizer treatments. These plots have
yielded all the way from nothing per
acre to 52l baskets per acre. The most
striking thing about the experiments
was in two plots side by side. On one
plot where no fertilizer whatever had
been used since the trees were put in
the ground, the average yield was 81
baskets per acre, while the adjoining
plot that had been fertilized yielded 52l
baskets per acre.
"The fertilizers have cost about
SIT per year per acre which would
make the fertilizer cost for the siS
years the trees have been. in Sill
per acre. With the fruit bringing 81
a basket, the plot that yielded ar
average of 521 baskets per acre
brought in a revenue this year oi
S409 above the cost of the fertilizer
for the six years and a gain of $37E
per acre in fruit in excess of the S11:
for fertilizer as compared with the
plot that yielded but "a baskets OF
S34 per acre.
"The fertilizer that seemed to have
the most influence in producing ;
profitable crop Of peaches was, first
potash and second. nitrogen. While
phosphoric acid seems to be neces
sary for the proper health of tn,
tree, it is apparent that it plays only
minor part in profitable peach pro
auction and in fact when used il
