lsr-Force Feed Arrangement for Sowing
Grain, consisting Of one gum and one iron
roller-which is really the only force feed ar
rangement made-giving you an even and
regular distribution of grain at all times. Can
SOW any amount of grain, from peck to two
bushels.

perfect gum-spring arrangement) thereby
doing away with the old wooden brake-pins,
and allowing the Drill to pass any obstruc-

3D-The Patent movable or sliding Fulcrun

any other drill.

the acres.


6rH-The Patent Azle is so constructed that
the bearings are all on the outer and inner
parts of Spindle, causing the Drill 10 run
lighter to the team, and more steady, than if
hearing was all on center of spindle.


7TH-All we can say for the Putent Guano
or Fertilizer Attachment is that it is the only
one that will sow or distribute properly all
kinds of fertilizers in all conditions.


The BEST also has Patent Hoe Shifter, by
which the Boots can be changed from straight
to zigzag line, or vice versa, while seeding
along. The Grass Seed Attachment is perfect.
In fact, it would be impossible to give all the
good and superior points possessed by this
Drill, without occupying too much space.
Suffice it to say, our Drill is just what is
claimed for 1.-THE best-AND HAS NO EQUAL.

1T is significant that the most important
of the few Republican journals in the South
heartily support Gov. Chamberlain in his
opposition to Moses and Whipper. That
"red-hot" thlrd-term organ, Tile Montgons-
cry State Journal, says: "The two men are a
disgrace to the Legislature that elected
them. On the bench they would do South
Carolina infinite harm and damage. Cham
berlain took the only course an honest, up
right, patriotic man could take in oppos-
ing them. To oppose Chamberlain now, is
to give aid and couutenance to these two
men. Not only that-it is to give support
to the Democracy. The Identification OF
Moses and Whipper with the Republican
party means nothing less than an utter Re-
publican overthrow in the State. There is
only one course the Republican leaders at
Washington can pursue with safety They
must unload Moses and Wbipper. They
must show that the Republican party has
no room for such men. Next, they must
support Chamberlain. He is fighting now
the cause Of good government everywhere
His hands need to be strengthened and up
held by all who have the power to give him

ARE we to have another deluge Of sub
sidy bills for railroads from the two lower
counties, next winter? From information
now before US, the conclusion is very fair
one that we will, and if the matter is to be
discussed, why not do the talking now and
settle the matter one way or another before
the election!


Probably had the good people Of Sussex
County been less enormous In their demands
something wouldhave been donefor them, last
winter but they overshot themark, and vainly
frightened the members Of the Legislature
into refusal. 7s8. .s-.~.


We are not prepared to take the position
beforehand that our legislators should be
instructed to absolutely refuse anything for
the necessary and proper improvement Of
the lower section of our State, for what be-
nefits this portion Of our people must sooner
or later benefit the whole, and If by the
proper expenditure of moderate sum of
money, intelligently directed, even if the
improvement is rail road, the Legislature
can add to the comfort, convenience and
happiness of the citizens of Kent and Sussex,
there is no good reason why the expenditure
should not be made, and we do not doubt
but that it would be approved in New Cas-
tie county, even if she does have to foot the
largest half of the bill. IF the people
of Kent and Sussex need new
railroad, and are not able to build it
themselves, if it is proper and unobjection-
able, let them demonstrate the fact to the
Legislature and that body will doubtless do
them justice.


There is such thing as killing a State
with railroads, as several of the western
States can bear ample testimony, and we
would be very sorry to see Delaware, the
government of which has always been man
aged honestly and economically, bankrupt
and ruined by series of railroad subsidies,
such as would be of no particular benefit to
any one.


We are confident that the good judgment
of the people of the lower counties will not


allow them to demand anything ruinous


from the Legislature.

The pool of the first mortgage bondholders
of the Wilmington and Reading Railroad is
now complete, and there seems to be every
prospect that the road will fall into their
hands. Whether this is the best thing that
could happen to the road or not, it will be
decidedly the best thing that the first mort
gage bondholders could do and they are
wise in adopting this measure. 1t is
thought that the first mortgage bondholders
will be united in the affair, although now
only 100000 have been put in the pool.

The conviction Of Mckee, the st. Louis
editor. who dabbled in crooked whisky
stock. renews confidence in the effort to
bring to justice all who were concerned in
this gigantic movement to defraud the gov
ernment in its revenues. Mckee was a
man of wealth and influence before he en-
tered into the plot, and it was therefore
considered that this would weigh so much
With court and jury as to influence them
in his favor. But the law has pursued its
even tenor, and with the others who were
in the same boat,he has been convicted and
must pay the penalty Of his dishonesty in
prison. He had great deal Of sympathy
and the verdict was almost directly theoppo-
site Of what had been expected. This
shows that the prosecution is thorough and
rigid, and those must 60 down who have
had any hand in the crooked whisky
transactions.


The next NEST important trial will be
that Of General Orville f. Babcock, the
Presidents private secretary, which comes
off on Monday next. The general will
have a host of friends at his back, and the
President will most undoubtedly take the
witness stand and testify in his behalf
This may have considerable effect with the
jury, and if it will throw any vindication
over his private secretarys participancy in
the matter, then the people of America fol
d. the reputation Of America will have cause
to be thankful. We have had enough K
stigmatize us as nation o
unscrupulous money making people, with
out the conviction of private secretary
Of the President as particeps criminis in
one of the grandest swindles of the age
But if Babcock is found guilty, then he
must share the fate Of the rest, and the
nation accept the consequences Of fur.
ther reflection upon its credit and integ.
rity. With the long train of stories o.
Credit Mebilier and subsidy written upon
them, a Minister to Foreign Court under
the stain Of swindler, and President o.
whom even his own party has tired, the
United States has load enough of igno.
niny to carry without further additions te
its weight.


1t is for this reason that we hope Gen
eral Babcock will be acquitted. It is bat
enough for the administration to stand il
the unpleasant light that it does, withou


burying it, as the head of the nation, in a
clsud Of shame and disaster, to America,
institutions. The picture is dark ant
gloomy one, but he may be able to admi
light upon it, and if he does, there ar


but few who will not be thank ful, for thos


reasons that we have stated.

Do not leave any refuse honey lying
about in the opening, las this will have
tendency to induce robbing. Should
robbing be commenced, contract the
entrance of weak colonies. Avoid an
excess of drone comb in hive where
comb is to be constructed, and when
your object is to secure honey. Put
on honey boxes partly filed with
empty comb, after the lower part of
the hive is well filed with honey and
bees, and when they are gathering
honey plentifully. When the first
box or boxes are full, raise them up
and slip an empty one under, leaving
passage from one to the otherso that
the bees can pass, as bees will work
more vigorously when not robbed of
their stores.


In transplanting comb give the
preference to that which contains the
most eggs and brood, putting it in the
middle of the new hive in about the
same order as It was in the old one.


Avoid weak swarms as they never
gather much honey, and are the vic
Tins of robbers and moth. They
should be united, or strengthened
from strong colonies by changing
places in the middle of the day, or CIV

adhering. Care should be taken not
