The HOudan for the Farm.

No breed is better suited for
the farm, as a general purpose
fowl, than the Houdans. They
are very hardy, being great fora
gers, and when it comes to eggs,
they are equal to breeds of the
Mediterranean class in produc-
ton of very large, white eggs.
For table purposes, they rank
one of the first of all fowls, hav-
ing a very thick breast, which is
so much wanted at the large
hotels. They have small bones,
and the flesh is tender and deli
cious. They make fine broilers,
and the best of roasters. The
chicks are beautiful, the hand
soonest of all breeds. Are
sprightly, active, and feather
rapidly. They are non-sitters
and light feeders; like the Leg
horns, ,smay be fed at small cost
as compared with the Brahmas,
Cochins, Langshans or Rocks.
They are of medium size, cocks
Z TBS. hens 8, and pullets 5. Hou-
dams are a handsome, crested
breed, having a comb shaped
something like the letter V, which
rests well up against the crest.
A popularity of the breed is
their having five toes like
the Dorkings; shanks and toes
are of a pinkish white color.
They make one of the best
crosses for market fowls. Their
eggs are very fertile, no breed
having a higher rank, and when
it comes to the show bench, they
are admired by all. The Hou-
dams have held their own in the
last 80 years, and the next few
years will see many more breed
ers taking up the time-honored
Houdan. Those that start with
this breed now will make no mis-
take. BY GEORGE w. TARBELL.

people whose blood is disordered and
who consequently have pimples and

Preserving Eggs.

OF twenty German methods
of preserving eggs the three
which proved the most effective
are coating the eggs with vase
line, preserving them in lime
water and preserving them in
water glass. There is draw
back to the water glass method;
the shell easily bursts in boiling
water. This, however, may be
prevented by piercing the shell
with strong needle. This OBJ
lection having been conceded the
water glass method heads the
list, as vanishing the eggs with
vaseline takes great deal of
time, and treating them with
lime water is apt to give them a
disagreeable odor In most
packed eggs the yolk, sooner or
later, begins to settle on one
side and the egg at once begins
to depreciate. This does not
happen when water glass is
used, and the eggs retain sur
prising freshness. In one test
it was found that a ten per cent
solution of water glass preserved
the eggs so effectually that at
the end of three and half
months eggs that were packed
on August appeared perfectly
fresh. A gallon of water glass,
which will cost so cents, will
make enough solution to pre-
serve so dozen eggs.

TROUBLE ON THE CHOPTANK.
The oystermen in a Bad Plight Because of
- n New Law.


Easton, Nd, Nov. 26. There ia
trouble on the Choptank among some
of the oyster soraping boats and owners.
An act OF the last General ASSEMBLY re-
duced the maximum size Of u Choptank
scrape boat'from l0 and 52- 100 tons to
seven tons and the act, after providing
that the then licensed boats could be
relioensed to work until tne end Of the
season, March 18th, forbade license
being issued to boats over seven gross
tons, customhouse measurement, after
that date. The law provides also for
two admeasurers, one for Dorchester
county and one for Talbot, and pro.
hibits the clerks of the Circuit Courts
of these respective counties from issu-
ing sorapa licenses to the owners OF any
boats who do not bring admeasurers'
certificates that the beat is of seven tons
or less capacity.
Owners of scrape boats OF over seven
tons, lioensed under the old law, ap-
piled for license again this season, not
having known, or having forgotten or
ignoring, the fact that the law had been
changed. OF course they we're refused.
They did not sell their boats nor ex-
change them for smaller ones between
seasons and are stuck with tie boats of
unlawful size useless on their hands
and none Of lawful size to work with
now at the busiest art of the season.
The old way of bringing a too big
boat down to lawful scrape law tou.
mage was by dannage; that Is, putting
a false bottom inside so rs to reduce
the depth and lateral and transverse
sold bulkheads to reduce length and
beam. In this way a 20-ton boat could
be reduced to 10 tons. But dunnaged
boats are not now passed. They must
be measured and tunned as built.
Last wtek an agent of some Thigh
mans Island scrapers went to Some set
county, where there are said to he
number Of small unemployed scrape
boats, and bought several for the Chop
tank. This is very important matter
to the oystermen, as the business on
the Choptank is in fine shape and was
never more profitable to both scrapers
and tongmen. Oysters are. plentiful
and in fine condition. The demand il
large and the prices are high.

tact with a spike, the e-cap being

The boy was getting along all right
apparently for several days and last
Tuesday the stitches were taken out.
On the. following day, his mother took
some chestnuts home. and then found
that the boy was unable to eat them
because of the effect the disease had
bad On his Jaws Very much alarmed,
the family sent for their regular physi-
cian, DR.. Smith Cooper. He found
that the lockjaw could not be checked,
and the boy died Sunday. He was
a member of Brandywine Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school. The funeral

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Harry Neill of Delaware City Touches u
Live Wire With a Fatal Result.

Live Wire With a Fatal Result.
Harry Neil, colored, Of Delaware
City, was instantly killed about IL
O'Clock Monday by being shocked
by charged electric wire in front of
the residence OF John Everson, on the
road leading from the New Castle road
to the Hare's Corner road, Just south
of the city limits.
He was walking along and saw wire
down and caught hold Of it, with the
result as stated above. The wiro was
either telephone Or telegraph wire,
hut it is believed it had fallen across
trolley or electric light wire and be-
come charged. The body was moved to
the motgue and the relatives of the de-
ceased notified.
Deputy Coroner Giles made an inves.
tigation Monday afternoon. He was in
formed by Joseph Taylor of New Cas-
tie, who was with Neill, that they were
walking to this city to look for work
and the wire was down IN the road
and when Neill's feet became entau.
gled in it he caught hold OF iG and re-
ceived the fatal shock. Neill was %
years of age. Recently he had been
boarding in New Castle. Taylor ex-
pressed the belief that the wire led to
the feed wire of the Wilmington & New
Castle railway. Taylor had close
call, but escaped injury.
1t is said that several horses were
shocked before the men had the en-.
counter with the wire.
