Archy, and out of Jenny Coclkracy. by
Potomac, son of Imported Diomed. AS
the dam of Mambrino Patchen was close
ly inbred to the old Derby winner, trac-
ing to him through four short crosses, 1t
will be seen that Axtell, like Maud 5.
(2.Osi, Jay-Eye-See Gao, Sunol cas-
and most of the other record breakers,
has a very strong infusion of the Messcn-
ger-Diomed element, whose potency we
have so often called attention to, but
which some great teachers have kindly
condescended to brand as bosh.
The sire of Axtell was William L., full
brother to Guy Wilkes (2:l5D. He was
by George Wilkes, out of Lady Bunker,
by Mambrno Patchen; second dam, La
dy Dunn, by Seely's American Star,
making Axtell inbred to Mambrino
Patchen, full brother to Lady Thorne
(2:lSD, the greatest campaigner of her
day. By this it appears that AXtell traces
to imported Diomed no less than fifteen
times. From Messenger and Clay he evil
IDENTIFY inherits the instinct which con-
trolls his action, while from Domed he
gets the nerve force, pluck and endurance
that enable him to maintain sufficiently
high rate of speed throughout the mile
to beat all of his competitors of that age
that have ever yet tried lowering the
three-y ear-old trotting record. There are
lots of trotters possessing the valuable
Mcssenger-Diomed combination that can.
not trot fast but it is a significant fact
and one which those wishing to breed
extreme speed will do well to remember
that there have been very few RECORD
breakers among trotters or PAGERS from
the time of Dexter y I'D and Pocahon
tas (2:173), to the present, in which thi:
combination did not exist Practca
horsemen will remember this fact to adj

But it has all along been evident that
the real date of the trip of Dr. Russell
was the key to the situation. If in these
circumstances there could be said to be
any situation requiring key. Mr.. Thorn
son has published it for fact that the
books'of DR.. Russell contained evidence,
by way of cessation of entries IN his hand
for few days in August, 1913. tending
to show that he was then away from
home. Mr.. Battell has been cruel enough
to doubt this, but has firmly held to the
opinion that if the doctors books could
be carefully examined they would settle
the controversy. DIR. w. p. Russell has
been dead for II years, and his books of
that period are mostly tumbled into box

Profitable Points.

The reports of committees contained
the following points:
A stack of rag weed has kept a flock
OF sheep in as good order as they were
last winter when fed on hay and grain.
Fodder corn will give as much food to
the acre as any plant that can be used
ana II sowed in drills every two weeks

One half square rod will feed horse
or COW p hours. One square rod of
clover will do the same. We must
come TO solllng sooner or later, and
next spring is good time TO begin
making practical acquaintance with
the subject. We need to keep more
cattle. There is always a scarcity Of
hrst class butter in our own county
and in the large cities, and it will nav
somebody to meet the demand. For
early feed next spring sow oats and
peas,-tWO bushels of oats and one of
peas to the acre. Sow as soon as YOU
can after the middle of February. TRY

iect the taste of the milk through the
organism of the animal, but the milk
a0sorbs any taste it may have after it

conceivable reason why acid phosphate

sorrel and no practical evidence that It

Gated from a field by blowing it in the

Maryland, Delaware and Virginia Rail-
road the number of oysters planted at
Chincoteague, Franklin and vicinity.
IN Virginia waters, amounted to $4,000
bushels annually. There are planted
IN the same waters 100000 bushels.
This number of oysters planted, should
they do reasonably well, will produce
at least 100000 bushels for market.
This is in Virginia waters alone. The
increase Of the oyster crop in the Ma
ryland waters of Chincoteague bav
since the opening of the railroad (about
eight years. is estimated by those we'll
acquainted with the facts at fully 500
per ceutum."
If the proposed canal is completed as
now designed, the navigation through
the bays will increase very much.
Already one propeller has been con-
structed to ply on the bays, and it is
stated that ten steamers will be on the
canal within a year after its completion.

Reclaiming State Property.

In the year 1918 the General Assem-
bly, passed an act granting to ex-Gov-
ernor Jacob Stout and Judge Thomas
clayton, all of what was known as
Kent Island situated in Little Creek
hundred, for 80 cents an acre. The
island Is situated below Leipsic on the
Lelpsic creek. The consideration of
the grant was that the grantees were
to reclaim the island from marsh and
put 1t into good condition for farming
purposes. The grantees accordingly
went to work and expended over S4O.-
OOO IN dyking, ditching aud building
establishments. Hardly had they com
pleted their labOrs and got the land
cultivated and planted when a strong
east wind, accom- panied by rain storm
swept away in one night the labor of
nearly year and the money invested
since that time nothing has been done
to the property beyond growing large
quantities of marsh hay upon it. The
Stouts have exercised proprietorship
over the island ever since. Their
claim has been frequently disputed
and to establish it the present heirs
Or. II. w. Stout of Wilmington and
DR.. +. Stout of Dover, erected uDon
the island frame building. 1t is now
proposed to dispute their title, and ac-
cordingly last week DR.. Richardson of
Little Creek hundred introduced a res.
oluIion to ascertain the the title of the
present claimants and providing for a
Joint committee of three on the part of
the House and two on the part of the
Senate to investigate the title. The
said committee is to have the power to
summon witnesses and employ counsel.
The resolution was adopted, and
Messrs. Richardson, Downham and
Whiteman were appointed members
on the part of the House. The island
contains abovt 1000 acres.-Cor. EUea-

Woman suffrage seems to be moving
forward with a more aggressive stride
in England than in the United States.
The election of Miss Jane Golden and
Lady Sandhurst as members of the
Council of the City of London shows
that the women will be expected not
merely to vote but also to take their
share of official responsibility. In a
country where the highest Office may
be filled by woman the appropriate
ness of electing women to places Of less
responsibility can hardly be called in
question.
