growers to reach every available mar
ket and to prevent glut in nearby
cities and consequent low prices.
Prof. Clark said the New Jersey
peaches are fine in quality and ap-
pearance, but the public in distant
markets do not know this, so some ad-
vertising is necessary. He recon-
mended raising the standard of fruit
shipped to other states-send depend
able fruit, uniformly graded.
In regard to growing, there is some
room for improvement. In some cases
| certain varieties may be discontinued.
The work of thinning peaches on the
trees can be reduced considerably by
winter pruning.
George Reid, the Burlington county
farm demonstrator. gave a talk on DO
! tatoes: He recommended planting on
| flelds having good cover crop to turn
under; favors deep tilling; shallow
planting, the seed covered about one
inch; about 519 barrels of seed to the
acre; cut the seed potatoes in cubes:
use large amount of fertilizer in the
rows under the seed; cultivate at
least once a week. He believed some
of the soil here is better adapted for
the Giant potato than for Cobblers.
and thought that variety would nav
better in many instances.
A resolution was passed favorinp
the erection of bridges across the Del
aware river at Camden and Bristol.
The report of the treasurer, Frank
S. Herr, stated that the amount of
business amounted to nearly a quarter
G. a million dollars during the year.
which was done on an actual capital Of
less than $4,000.
The sales of seeds, baskets, fertiliz-
ers, twines, etc., amounted to $171,-
1887.
The sales of potatoes amounted to
47,196.97, upon which there was a
net profit of $1,023.81.
The net profit of the concern for the
year was $1,041.11.

The account given us in Samuel OF
the death Of the Philistine giant Go
Hath by the Jewish shepherd boy
has ever been held as an example Of
the overthrow of powerful wrong by
means of seeming weakness, aided by
the power Of God. 1t is in truth one
OF the most important Of the stirring
things told US in the Old Testament.
1t may be well in the beginning to
briefly set forth the circumstances of
events. OF course the locality was
Palestine and the time, during the his
tory of the Children Of Israel. Saul
was king. and his country was about
to be again invaded by the powerful
armies of the Philistines. This had
made call to war upon the Jews and
among the soldiers We're the three old
est brothers of David, he being yet a
lad was kept at home tending his
fathers sheep. One day Jesse, the
father, directed David to go to the
army, taking some food for the older
brothers and learn as to their welfare.
We can well see in thought the ruddy
youth full OF curiosity and yet anxiety
going forth on his mission. There
were no electric wires in those days
to keep people at home posted on con-
tlitions at the front.
David found on arrival that there
was little actual fighting going. on;
that daily very large man Of the
Philistine army came out in the broad
valley between the contending armies
challenging any Israelite to meet him
In personal combat, the results Of
which should decide the battle. Neith-
er King Saul, who was of great size,
or any of his men felt like accepting
the challenge of the giant Goliath, and
SO the spectacle was presented of the
armies unfolding the cause of the
mighty Jehovah in the world. shrink
Ing in terror before His enemies Such
situation as this David, the shepherd
boy, could not understand. His bring
ing up had led him to think that the
cause of God was invincible and that
no mere man could stand before Him.
In his youthful enthusiasm he spoke
this way to his brothers, and they
laughed him to scorn. But he still
persisted and made known his will.
ingness to himself meet the giant if
no one else would. In his talk he
made use OF the following words
which. could well be the golden text
of the lesson:
''Who is this uncircumcised PILLS
tine who .defied the armies of the div
ing Gbd?"
In due time the attention of King
Saul was attracted to the lad who
wanted to fight the giant, and David
was called to his presence Such was
