Dover Sentinel.
The result Of Monday nights caucus is
the election of Anthony Higgins as
United States Senator from Delaware for
six years from the fourth Of March next
That it was what the Republicans Of Del
aware expected, no one will say. Mr..
Massey started in the race with FIVE votes
from his county, and gradually increased
his vote until he stood with the solid
eight votes of Kent supporting him.
This, too. in spite OF the working of an
organization against him which every one
had been led 70 believe was non
political. Every effort was made to array
the people against Mr. Massey because Of
his connection with the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad as counsel How futile the
fort. and how It failed the solid eight
votes behind him is the answer. The
support and confidence of Kent county in
Mr., Masseys candidacy has never
wavered or tagged from the day
that he was assured Of the support
Of those upon whom he
was wont TO rely His conduct through
out the canvass has been most circum-
spect Although the recipient Of I'M
limited abuse and vituperation vet no
word passed his lips against any Of the
other candidates. To al he was uni
formly courteous and fair. He has the
| consciousness OF the unanimous support
| Of Kent county, despite the means and
methods employed against him. While
I the position was not given him.
those who brought about the
result can have no more elation over
their victory than have Mr.. Massey and
his friends over the manly wav liz con.
Quoted himself during the contest. To
Mr. Higgins is confded the duty and re.
sponsibility OF organizing the party and
leading it to victory IN 1890 The task
viii require the best Of generalship and
the broadest-minded policy that can be
inaugurated He will have the support
and aid Of the party to help, if he Sc
desires. 1t is all with him

Scab!oY Legs.

Many complain of having fowls af- flicted with rough or scabby legs. This is hardly ever seen on poultry in a well kept establishment It's cause. l am satisfied, is from neglected, un- kept houses, where the platform under the roost Is allowed to get loaded with droppings several inches deep, and the floors are never cleaned up or the soil renewed, and too often from the intro- duction of fowls from other houses where it has been allowed to get a foothold, for if not looked after and stopped at the beginning it will soon go through the flock To be free from it. the houses must be kept clean and sweet in every particular, both by whitewash- ing and daily cleaning of the drop- pings from the roost. Rake the ground over at least once a week. to take up the accumulation of feathers and ma nure and bring fresh soil to the sur face. Satarate the roost with crude petroleum, and apply the same thor oaglly and often to the legs of tho afflicted fowls. Do not keep fowls over one laying season, unless they are choice ones for breeding, for they are much more liable to gat= diseases of different kinds, especially this one of scabby legs.

 Keep the stock well watered. Thirsty stock standing around dry trough because somebody forgot to pump water, is waste of valuable time.

 -Feed sweet and nutritious food to the cows at all seasons of the year. Musty hay, and off favored food are not the material out of which to make good milk and butter.
 Give winter protection to the small fruit. The thing to do is to se- lect the best yIsieties, even if tender, and then go to the trouble of protect- ing them. Hardy varieties are often like the scrub COW, tough, but mighty unprofitable.
 The cause of milk sickness, says Mr. Benjamin Spralliu, of Kentucky is lobelia, which is eaten by the ani- mals. Lobelia. after it has so far ma tured as to produce seed, will invari- ably produce milk sickness after it is eaten,
 There is a proper limit to the ex- ercise of COW. If the pasture is so everlastinSly poor that COW must travS over ten acres to get enough to keep her alive, she is getting too much exercise.

 It is best not to think of politics or your neighbOrs while milking the COW. Better pin yourself down to the work on hand. or you may pinch the teat, and then the cow pay kick. and then you may get mad, and there may be an unproGtable complication a}l around.

 It should be set down as rule and strictly adhered to that no noXious plant should be permitted to mature its seed on any part of the farm or along any roadside contiguous to the farm.

Lice Multiply Rapid!y.

No matter how clean the poultry house may be, it is difficult to keep clear of lice during very warm weather, and even when the hens are rid Of one kind of lice. they may be afflicted with another This may be shown by examining the house and the fowls for the little red mites which usually crawl on the hands or get on to the clothing Of one entering the house. No signs of their presence may be seen. but lift up the wing of the fowl. and large blood-suekers may be seen running to escape obser- yation. If the skin of the head and throat he next examined. another kind Of lice, larger than those under tho wings may be seen. The best safe guard against these depredators is to hold the hen head downward and thoroughly dust her with fresh Dal- matfan insect power. especially under the wings, and then grease her head and neck with molAd lard.

Fall Colts and Calves.

For growing stock grass Is rec ognized as one of the cheapest and best of feeds. Not that it is in all cases a complete food, but during the growing season it can be used to good advantage as principal food. And in the management of the farm stock it is quite an item to get the largest amount of benefit from the grass, either by pasturing or soiling.
 Calves and colts, in the first few months of their existence, must de- Fehd almost, if not wholly, upon milk. It matters little during this time to them, at least, whether their dams are pastured upon grass or are fed hay and grain in the stable, provided the qaan- tity and quality are such ts to enable them to furnish a full supply of milk But when they are ready to wean then it comes a question of considerable in- terest, as they will grow and develop, usually, in proportion to the quality and quantity of the food supplied.
 One of the principal advantages in having the colts and calves come in the fall rather than in the spring is that, by the time they are ready to wean in the spring, the grass will have made a sufficient growth to fur nish considerable food, and they will be able to make their first six months growth, after weaning. upon grass rather than upon dry hay or fodder and grain. In counting the cost Of preparing an animal for market the period of weaning is usually considered the proper time for beginning the ae- count. and in a majority of cases it will lessen the cost considerably if grass can be made the principal food for the first six months. With the cows another item can be added Whether marketed as milk or made into butter the milk is of more value during the winter than in the summer; o'''' Ter caIvlng, the cows will give the largest quantity of milk, at ,o,o for four to six months, and this can be secured with little. if any more OK pense, during the winter than in tho sumner.
 So far as possible all the stock on the farm should be kept in a good thrifty condition. and il this is done the cost of feeding is but little, fl any, more during the winter, whether Q large or a small quantity of milk is supplied.
 With the brood mares it is usually expected that enough work can be done by them to pay at least for their Eccp. and yet it is all item to get this

invariabie Rule by which to Detect the
 Preseno. of African Blood.


 Captain O. C. Terry has an almost exhaustless fund of quaint or unusual stories. incidents or information at his command. Most of his stock he has gathered in bis own varied experiences and observations. Let him lean back in a comfortable arm chair aud get his thoughts turned toward "reminiscences and he is sure to interest his auditors. He was born and grew to manhood in Tennessee, when the institution of slavery was in its prime. He grew up to believe it wrong, his mother instill- ing the belief into his mind from in- fancy.
 'sBut l saw enough of slavery myself to set me against it, said the Captain few days ago, in speaking of this period of his career. "In several in stances saw slave children sold whose veins contained so muah of their mas ter's blood that their skins were with out tinge of the African color except in the inyariable stripe down the spinal column. Such things as that were so plainly and horribly wrong that needed no teaching in order to know it. Between selling human beings who were partly white and those entirely black, l some way couldn't find any line where the Yyong ended and the right began.
 What do I mean by the stripe down the spinal column Why, 1 supposed you knew the presence Of African blood in any person, no matter how slight the proportion, can be instantly de- tected by dark line along the se.i~- Even an Qctoroon, with Complexion and features purely caucasian, invaria- bly has this line of dark. It is never failing proof of mixed blood. The mark is not always black, but is eonsid era- bly darker than the rest of the Surface of the body.
 "Since you didn't know that. per haps you don't know .nat colored child at it's birth is as light eolorea as a white ore. You wouldn't notice any dlfere5nee in the color at all. In three or .our hours after birth the skin be- gins to turn dark. and in short time becomes as black as the child is des- tined to be durin0 it's life. a-ludianap- oils News,

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Dairy Requires Attention.


 It might as well be understood first as last that butter-making can not be made profitable unless there is sui ficient time given to it. and unless the work is done at the proper time. It must now be pretty well understood that profitable butter-malling means a good article of butter But that can not be made unless every thing is done properly and promptly. If, as a writer ! of note remarks, a woman has the care of g. family Of children, does the cooking, mending, sweeping and thou sand things that deyolye upon moth CT, she can not be q good dairy maid, or il she is, it is more than one woman ought to be. As rule people are not rapid enough in execution to greatly multiply duties. Once in great while we find a man or woman who can do the work of half dozen peo- pie, and seem to do it easily. But such people are the exceptions.
 It is not wise, therefore, to expect that the wife with all her other duties to perform, can give attention to much of dairy, and, therefore, at the very beginning enough help should be prs vided. There is great deal of hard work in the dairy. and it must be done at just such q time. 1t is mistake to suppose that dairyfng is easy. In fact it is @ mistake to suppose that any work or occupation is easy, fl it is hon. est.
 We must devote close attention to any business if we expect to mako it successful. The dairy particularly ra- quires close attention and steady work. The COWS must be millled and ought to be mixed regularly and care fully; and we can not De too particular to see that the help we employ attend 10 these things There i5 so much earelossaess upon the part of some mixers, as shown in their roughGes5 toward tho COW, or their neglect 10 milk thoroughly, that in aHy considerable herd some milkers WilIdo more damage in season than their wages will amount to. The process of milking, therefore, should De carefully oYerseen by Inc owner In walking through city streets NC al- ways see d foreman-a boss of street gangs of men. This foreman watches closely the work of the men, and yet if they did not sweep clean or other- wise neglect their duty, no irraparable damage could be done. The dairymen frequently give no attention to the mat ter of milking their COWS by the help. and if damage is done there it can not be repaired. The millter should be I cleanly person. Since milking has been entrusted so largely to men. there is not always that degree of cleanliness that absolutely necessary in | welI-eoadaeted dairy, aud the lack often gives rise to the wish for the re- turn of the neat dairy maid, who was not always the sole creation Of the poets. After the milking comes the care of the milk. If the milller has mixed with the milk dirt of various descriptions the milk is spoiled; no after-care. however great. can restore 1t 10 prime excellence The dirt may be got out, perhaps but the straining can not remove the odors that may have come from the dirt Western Rural.

On most farms this will be found to be in the spring, when the work of seeding and plant ing, as we'll as of cultivating. is gen. erally most pressing And by having the colts come in the fall more work, with less risk, can be secured than if they come in the spring, and in addi- tion there is better food for their growth and development after wean- ing.
