PEAS VALUABLE TO LAND

The growing o. peas as means Of
restocking impoverished soil with nj
trogen has been recommended by scien-
tific farmers for years. Without re
gard to the value Of the pea as crop
it has been urged that they enrich the
soil for other crops to a greater extent
than is done by following it to lie Idle
in falIow.
The extent Of the enrichment of the
soil is illustrated by the following story
by Mr. Lifts. About six years ago |
went to rancher near Fairfield 10 get
him to put SO acres in peas. lie had
been growing wheat on the tract for
several years and his yield that year
had been about 13 bushels to the acre.
| told him that the peas would do as
much for his land as lying in summer
fallow and offered to furnish him with
seed and take his crop
''ie took up the proposal, and the
third year we paid him 81. 500 for his
crop Of peas from the SO acres. The
following year he planted wheat ihel e
again and got So bushels TO the acre, as
he did from his wheat that year had
put the ground in peas.
Although the danger from weevil in
the Inland Empire is not negligible, it
is less than in Wisconsin or Michigan,
as the crop is not affected by frost ard
colder weather permits the peas to form
before the Weevil affects them.

MORE QUESTIONS

The Transcript wishes to make few
more remarks on town affairs.
l. Will the new city fathers change
the custom of the old board of hauling
off such big wagon loads of town re-
fuse from certain stores have counted
seven full barrels before single store
that the refuse Of private citizens lies
untouched for weeks?
The ordinance never contemplated
that public taxes would be used for such
purpose any more than that they should
be spent to haul grocery freight from
the depot--certainly, not thus spent to
the detriment of private citizens.
2 The town will soon vote on the
sewer question. Do the people of Mid
dletown mean again to turn down that
much needed improvement? Wait until
the state authorities compel its making
on grounds of health or close up every
we'll in town
8. Do the people know that Middle
town has been black-listed by all the
automobile magazines and other official
auto publications in the country. as a
place where innocent autoists are held
up and fined unfairly, without reason or
justice? Do people know that these
warn ali auto travellers to
steer clear of Middletown, Delaware?
Should not our new Town Board look
into this matter? Would it not more
safeguard life and limb to fine the
scorchers who fly from 25 to As miles or
even at higher speeds, thru our streets,
rather than fine strangers for not toot-
ing at every corner? More later when
this mess is digested.

Horses f}ie Resi;t Oi Poison

On the farm Of Mrs Alice Woo,li-i,,
III Grove Meek, i've miles south Of G cell
ton, Md, twelve horses have died with
in week from forage poisoning. They
were all less than years old, and were
worth on an Average of 5000 each.
Three other horses are very sick and ex-
pected 70 die. Dir Harris B. Nc
Dowell, the attending veterinarian,
attributes the disease to some fungus in
the feed the horses have been eating.
The disease appeared among the
horses about two weeks ago, and was
at first noticed by the horses dropping
their feed, indicating paralysis of the
throat. This was followed by general
paralysis within 48 hours, and in each
case death soon followed.
The disease so far has been confined
to the one farm, and samples of all the
forage on the farm have been collected.
and will be taken to Washington for
analysis hy Dr. Mcdowell.

STIEFF PIANO SALE

After their usual custom of trying to
secure for the Middletown public ''best
things" in all lines, Fogel & Burstan
have induced the maker of the famous
,Stieff pianos, to hold in their store for
several weeks anufacturer's sale of
his instruments, and fine line of rep
resentative Stieff pianos are now on ex
hibition there, together with number
of other reliable makes little less ex-
pensive, the unusually good pianos all
guaranteed, and sold for very moderate
prices.
The Stief piano, for IS years manu-
factured in Baltimore by that family, is
a very superior instrument made in
every part with extreme care and Of
the very best materials. "a fact which
explains the high reputation it has at
tanned in the musical world and for so
long a period maintained "at concert
pitch" as strictly frst-class standard
piano.
These Stieff pianos on sale at Fogel
& Burstan's s are direct from the factory
to the buyer, with no agents ccmmis-
sion added-a fact that makes their
cost much less. Special inducements of
big percentages off are given churches,
schools, societies, &c.
Mr. Stieff's urbane factory represen-
tative, Mr.. w j. Gilbert, in charge of
the sale, is a gentleman Of wide and
long experience in the piano business,
well known thru out the Eastern Shore,
where he has sold many fine Stieff
pianos to prominent musicians, profess
.sonal men and citizens in all walks of
life.
Mr.. Gilbert is unremitting in his pains
to explain these pianos, their superior
qualities both from a mechanical and
musical standpoint, besides demonstrat-
ing thru fine piano-player their superb
tonal qualities, while Miss Allie Mckee,
our towns expert musician, is in con-
stant attendance to display thru her
skilful Instrumentation, the many ex
cellent features of the Stieff piano its
full, rich tone and its sure, light touch.
Many of our best musicians, and fore
most citizens have visited the Stieff
sale-in fact, for the past week Fogel
& Burstan's has been veritable Mecca
for all lovers of fine music. Mr.. Gilbert
has the promise of u goodly number of
sales. All are cordially invited to come
and hear the enjoyable concerts given
daily.

SPECIAL SERVICES
Held at Forest Presbyterian Church
Have Drawn Large Crowds
HAD MANY ABLE PREACHERS

The special meetings in the Forest
Presbyterian Church are drawing good
audiences. Thursday evening the Rev.
Henry N. Faulconer, of Baltimore,
spoke simple, tender, earnest sermon
from Rev. SO, "And they sung new
song, saying Thou art worthy to take
the book and to open the seals thereof
for Thou vast slain and hast redeemed
US to God by Thy blood out of every
kindred ami tongue and people.
The whole burden of the address was
"The blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth US from all sin," and the
speaker traced for his hearers the Bible
story of salvation thru blood, all the
way from the sprinkled door-posts of
the Israeites in Egypt to the blood of
the Son Of God on Calvary that sprin-
kled the hearts of all mankind.
In response to his feeling appeal that
some sinner there should accept this
sacrifcial blood of Christ, several per-
sons stood up.
Having been privileged to hear this
warm-hearted evangelist on two diverse
occasions, the one when in the heat Of
the late temperance campaign, in his
speech in Cochran Square, he savagely
excoriated the Liquor Traffic, merci-
lessly poured verbal hell fire upon the
saloon, and this one in the Forest church
where he so touchingly besought his un-
saved hearers to accept Christ, the
writer was reminded OF a saying Of
John Wesley that when preaching to-
the poor, ignorant, dissoIute miners on
Wednesday, commons etc his favorite
text was, ''Behold the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sins of the
world,' whereas, when addressing
some SNUG congregation of respectable
sinners in their rich sanctuary, his text
was, "Ye serpents, ye generation Of
vipers how can ye escape the dsnna-
tion of hell. .
