Old-Fashioned Agricultural Implements

Times have changed in agriculture as in many
other things. and at the present day we can
hardly realize the difficulties that beset the farmer
upwards of century ago. Early spring was
often trying time for him when his supplies of
cattle food were apt to become exhausted before
the new grass appeared. There were then no
turn1ps, mangolds, oilcake, soy beans or similar
foods to be procured and he had some
times great difficulty in keeping his cattle from
starvation especially in the late districts 1t is
difficult to believe but it is nevertheless true that
in parts of Scotland the cattle were at times so
weak in spring from want of food that they were
unable to rise from their stalls when the new
grass did come. The custom therefore arose for
farmers In a neighborhood to meet together and
go from farm to farm for the purpose of carrying
the helpless cattle out to the fields This was
termed the cattle lifting, a much more humane
method of cattle lifting than that which used to
prevail on the borders.
In the wilder parts of Scotland where gorse or
furze plentiful, the young shoots were often
used in spring as supplementary food for both
cattle and horses. The shoots were cut down
and then removed to the farm to be there crushed
into rough pulp which could be eaten by the
cattle 1t was eagerly devoIred by them. and they
throve upon ii. Cows gave richer milk when they
were supplied with crushed gorse and the milk
was free from unpleasant flavor, such as other
green winter foods sometimes induce. Horses
too, relished the food.

the seeds being sown in drills in March, so that
the shoots became ready for use in the autumn
of the following year For several years in sue
cesson forage was obtained from the original
crop
There were several methods employed for pulp
ing the g6rse. In small farms, where only a limit
ed quantity needed, the method usually adopt
ed was to lay the young shoots on fat stone or
block of wood and hammer them with maet
similar to that used for driving in paling
posts. Sometimes one end of the mallet was fitted
with iron blades for chopping the gorse, while
the other end was fiat for pounding it. Otherwise
a rammer" or bruiser might be employed an
instrument consisting of a shank of wood, three
feet eight inches in length, bulged out part to
give the instrument weight on being used and a
base which is contracted into square. and shod
with an iron shoe embracing parallel iron cutters
one inch asunder and three inches deep. and
sharpened at their lower edge"

the report of the Roads Commission
to the Legislature. so much money of

What the people of Cecil county
would like to know, where is the
money coming from to build the road

II looks like the Commission Cprin-

roREleN TRApE ANn cONSrLs.

IF the foreign trade of the United states is to be
built up to the proportions it deserves to as
sumo consular service must keep pace with the
consular services of Germany. Britain other
great commercial nations which are endeasoring to
dominate the markets OF the world consul is the
foreign trade representative OF nation and IFS people
If he be wdcawake, intelligent and patriotic he has
it within his power to do much for the promotion Of
the trade interests OF the country he represents he
be slothful, dull of comprehension aud devoid OF
proper appreciation Of the importance OF his mission
he gives TO other and competing nations trade adyan-
tages they never should be permitted to enjoy.
There was time years ago, when American con-
sui appointed as a reward for political work
rather than recognition of his fitness discharge
the legitimate functions of the consular service Re
cent years have brought improvement in that re-
spcc but it is admitted fact that the service is not
what il ought to be or what it would be If merit alone
were recognized in the making Of appointments and
promotions
Although nearer to Latin America than is any
other great commercial nation, it is notorious fact
that Germany and Great Britain through their mag
nhcent consular services enjoy the of the Latin
American trade and that take what we can get
Of their leavngs. Both Germany and Great Britain
spent large amounts Of money last year in building up
their consular work in Latin-Amerca. In fact it is
stated that Germany has increased its consular ex-
penditures in South America three or four times as
rapidly in the last FIVE has the United States
and Great Britain stands in such consular work
and the trade benefits accrung therefrom.
With consular service properly organized and
with the salaries large enough to prove attractive to
the right meE, there is valid reason why Germany.
Great Britain or any other European nation should
enjoy trade supremacy in what is essentially American
trade territory. In fact under such conditions the so
called trade conquest of Germany in Latin America
soon would become trade defeat. Nor would Ameri-
can commercial trumphs in the foreign field be re-
stricted TO Latn-Amerca.

1T OUGHT TO PASS.

ought to pass. IL does not go far
enough, since it only suspenGs the
law for two years and makes its op-
GRAFTON thereafter depend upon execu-
tive action; but it gives US two years
in which to back up" from a bad pos
ition. In the meantime some better
scale of tolls than a fat charge on
the tonnage of ships should be worked
out. We ought not to charge for such
commodities as hay. coal, lumber,
cement, stone, fertilizers. brick, at
the rates provided for. Oranges, lem
ems, manufactured articles, and pas
sengers can and should pay more.
Rates on every conceivable sort OF
freight should be made low enough
SO that the freight will move through
the canal-Otherwise il Will pay no
tolls at all. A scale of tolls can be
worked out on a scientific basis by
which we may avoid difficulties, COM
pei reductions in railway rates, and
secure adequate revenue from the
operation. The two years of watt
ing provided by the Adamson reso-
luton will enable all our people to
realize that the free-tolls law is not
based on a fair and proper construc-
ton of our treaty with Great Britain.

Citations Of the post that many be-
lieve it to be an instrument of tor
ture
Poor Delawareans! After years
and years. they are aware OF such
cruelty that has been practiced
against poor criminals. It is simply
outrageous. and the post with its
cruelty, ignominy and disgrace to
poor mortals who, perchance, carry
away a few dollars, must be consign-
ed to oblivion. Away With the cruel
instrument 1t has been discovered
that many Delawareans are not ac-
Quainted with the disgrace the whip
ping-post has brought on the State.
Let us have no more of it. Destroy
IT, Let the good it has done be buried
with it. Our prisoners should have a
more gentlemanly form of punish
ment
The Legislature of 1915 will tear
the post into splinters and cast them
to the four winds of the earth.

HELP A WORTHY CAUSE.
the Laurel Leader.

From the Laurel Leader.
Many have the wrong impression
as to the object of the Chamber of
Commerce; they think that this is
purely an organization whose only
purpose is to boost Wilmington. This
impression should be dispelled at
once, as the organization is not a
local affair by any means. AS the
name should imply, it is the Cham
Der of Commerce of Delaware and not
Wilmington, and its purpose is to
benefit teh entire State, and because
they have as their slogan, "lf you
can't buy it at home, buy it in Will
mington" is not said from a selfish
standpoint; in fact if you will stop
and think. its meaning can be trans
lated to Don't buy in Wilmington
| IL you can get it at rome" but would
| it be doing our state justice to say
"If you can't buy it at home, buy it
in Baltimore or some other placer"
The Leaders motive in continually
calling its readers attention to this
fact is simply to remind them that
our Metropolis can furnish anything
which our home merchants cannot
supply them with, and the reason we
say "If you can't get it in Laurel
buy It in Wilmington" is because
Laurel merchants can furnish any
thing purchaseable in the State south
of Wilmington. rt
No State in the Union according to
area and population affords greater
chances than does orr dear old Dia-
mond State The majority of our
towns are situated on main line OF
the railroad and many have naviga-
bic advantages and the only thing
necessary to make a greater Della
ware is a little ambition and energy
from all OF the business men in the
State towards supporting the many
progressive motives of the Chamber
of Commerce in Delaware. Any busi-
ness man in the State is eligible to
membership to this association, and it
is not fair to make the Wilmington
ians do all the hustling and schem-
ling for Greater Delaware. It is your
duty to help, so Why not every one
interested in BOOSTING our State put
their shoulder to the wheel and push;
then we are sure you will see added
results to the wonderful work already
accomplished by the men who are
striving daily for a greater Delaware
and the upbuilding Of the Delmaryia
Peninsula.

TIE TINE For REST.

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
There is probably no city in the
country where licensed saloons for
the sale of intoxicating liquors are as
well conducted as those of Whining
ton at the present time. First Of all
the men in the liquor business here
are strictly honest, which assertion is
attested by q statement made by a
Wilmington business man a few Us
ego. He said that during the six
years he had had business transac-
tions with 90 per cent. Of the hotel
and saloon proprietors of Wilmington
and New Castle county to the extent
OF over twenty thousand dollars, all
in accounts of less than $40 and had
not lost a single dollar in all those
transactions. Il is doubtful If there
is any other line Of business, where
Sc many different houses were dealt
with that there would not have been
o goat here and there that would de-
fault in making payment. The best
of order in these licensed houses pre-
walls as a rule, and when rough house
does occasionally occur, it is not due
to any fault on the part of the pro?
prietor. but to some fresh guest, who
thinks because he has thirty cents in
his pocket he owns the town, but such
as these are frequently the cause Of
trouble not only in saloons. but in
other business establishments. and
sometimes they create disorder even
In houses of worship.
Such being the situation here might
II not be we'll for the Law and order
Society and the Ministerial Union 10
cease prosecuting honest business
men? The performance of these two
organizations in harassing saloon
keepers by charging screen violations,
piling up expense to the taxpayers and
forcing the defendants TO employ
greedy lawyers. is becoming very un-
popular with the public at large. and
that these so-called reform organiza-
tions have fallen in the estimation of
the average citizen is very noticeable.
