cULLING THE HERD.

There is nothing that assists breeder
more in maintaining good reputation
for sending out good stuff than close Gull
ing. No breeder has been able to raise
all good pigs, even from the most diStin-
guished sires and dams that ever lived.
There will always be some inferior to the
others. These should be consigned to
the pork pens. The breeder that does
not do this will have lots of trouble on
his hands. He will find it improbable,
because he cannot sell to the same man
more than one time.
The man that builds up his business by
honest transactions that are satisfactory
to the buy er is the one that makes a
profit and success out of his business. If
you get customer for an animal, make
the deal so that he will be your friend
and continue your customer. We have
p'enty OF breeders who are of this char
acter and who practice this method of
doing business. To do business and meet
the requirement, you should have the
blood for which there is demand. You
should have good sows as well as good
boars, if you want to produce good
class of pigs. You should give close at
tention to feeding and handling, to prop
erly develop them. 1t is better to have
one good SOW than three poor or medium
ones, for profit.-American SWineherd.

ADDICKs AFTER TROLLEY LINE

1t was reported in Wilmington Tuesday
that ]. Edward Addicks is about to EN-.
bark in the electric railroad business, and
that he has about closed negotiations
whereby he is to assume entire control oi
the charter and valuable franchises of one
Of the trolley companies that was formed
to construct line through Kent county.
According to the report Mr.. Addicks is
to acquire the charter and franchise OF
the Delaware Electric Company, of which
former Attorney General Roberto. White
was one of the promoters and officers.
At the time this charter was issued in
1899, deposit of about $l7, 900 was made
by the capitalists interested in the COM
pany as guarantee that the road would
be built.
The company was given two years in
which to construct the road, but it was
never finished. The laying of tracks was
commenced at the hill near the home of
Manlove Hayes, south of Dover, the first
spike driven being of silver. Since then
the company was involved in litigation
and the line never was built. One of the
legal questions to be cleared upi whether
or not the charter is still valid, because
of the litigation that prevented the COM
pany proceeding with its tracks.

NAY USE NEAT In LENT

The United States now has the priyi-
lege, heretofore enjoyed only BY Spain,
of special dispensation from Lenten
abstinence. 1t is Archbishop ireland
who has obtained this notable concession
from the Pope.
The Archbishop relates that when
walking to his home one day at the noon
hour he observed party of laborers, who
bad been laboring at an excavation, sit
ting on the sunny side of fence, eating
their midday meal They were Catholics;
it was fasting season, and their repast
was bread and a Titles condiment. 1t
occurred to the Archbishop that it was
hardly fair that the church law OF abstin-
ence should fall SO heavily on working
men engaged in severe manual labor,
while the wealthy and leisure classes
have various ways Of obyiating the rigors
OF the ecclesiastical regulations.
Within an hour he had written to the
Pope petitioning him to relieve Ameri-
CaA WOIAiuSuIcu VI LllC NdIlIOiAS AoAIh
from the law of abstinence from fresh
meat during Lent, and suggesting that
they might as compensation, abstain
from Intoxicating drinks during the
came period.
In an autograph letter in reply, Leo
XIII, congratulated Archbishop Ireland
on his jealous interest in the working
classes, and granted the requested dis
pensation.
And so in their Lenten pastorals this
year the Catholic bishops announced
that American workingmen were no
longer bound by the Lenten abstinence,
except on Fridays and Ember days, but
that it will be expected of them in case
they profit by the dispensation, that
they abstain during the fasting season
from intoxicating beverages.
An interesting development of this
new church regulation is the spreading
broadcast of millions of 'Sacred Thirst"
cards among Catholics, reminding them
of their obligations in the matter during
Lent, Five hundred thousand of these
cards are being printed by the Paulist
Fathers, and large quantities also by the
other Catholic publishing houses.

FARM NOTES
FoR EGG pRopucINe.

CLOVER FOR EGG PRODUCING.
Experience has demonstrated the yalue
of clover for egg producing time and
again. Clover has just the material in il
to form egg shell, and hence it becomes
an essential part Of every ration fed tc
the chickens. 1t may not be generally
understood that there are nearly thirty
pounds Of lime contained in eacli thous
| and pounds of clover The chickens fed
daily with clover will consequently prove
better egg layers than those denied it,
The clover hay should be given to chick
ems in winter in quantities sufficient to
satisfy them, and to make them eat more
| it is desirable sometimes to prepare it in
various ways. Cook and chop it up, and
mix it with meal or other articles. This
will sometimes induce the hens to con.
sumo great amount of clover each day
Cut up into short lengths and mixed
with warm mash, and then fed only as
fast as the chickens will clean it up each
day, is probably the most economical
way to feed the clover. Some cut the
second crop of clover and place it in the
poultry yard for the chickens to eat and
scratch over at pleasure. This of itself is
all right, but it is rather wasteful. More
than half the clover will be lost, and the
chickens do not actually eat much more
than the leaves. The stalks contain most
of the lime, and these should be pre-
pared so the chickens will consume them.
Of all foods that can be raised on farm
for poultry, clover is not only the best,
but probably the cheapest, and field of
it is as essential to success as pasture
field is necessary to the success of dairy

FARM BUILDINGS OF TO-DAY

In contrasting the discomforts Of the
farmer while attending to his stock in
winter with the comfort, brightness and
good cheer that reign within doors a
prominent agricultural paper draws a
gloomy picture. 1t saws that he has to
trudge through snow, face biting winds
and otherwise have a tough time of it.
This may be true of small minority of
farmers, but the large majority now have
arrangements for stabling and feeding
their stock that entail neither hardshpis
nor discomforts. The oldtime barn that
admitted chilling winds at the junction
of all the boards has been superseded by
one sided with planed and matched lum-
ber, and the whole coated with paint.
The comfortless shed stables have given
way to the warm basement, and to care
for the stock the farmer only has to enter
his barn once and there work comforta-
bly, among comfortable animals. Thus
the winter discomforts of the farmer have
vanished with the oldtime barns.
Hardly year passes but one sees this
important change going on, and in few
years the old-fashioned barns and sheds
will be curiosities. 1t has teen found to
produce sufficient thrift in the stock to
warrant the change. Those who have
rebuilt their old barns into modern ones
after some delay regret that they waited
so long. They can now go out in the
morning and find their horses and cattle
with unruffled hair and stretching them
selves in comfort. While their owner
sits by his cheerful freside and the zero
winds whistle the livestock vie with him
in all that he enjoys. And his own
peace of mind must be enhanced by the
thought that he is not alone in his enjoy
ments.
The up-to-date farmer has his poultry
in seperate building, and this is made
to shut out the winds. Their combs are
not freezing during the night, nor their
toes during the day. At the approach Of
morning he goes out with mess of warm
feed, and the whole flock partakes of an
excellent breakfast. Their merry song
and cackle soon remind the farmer that
he is about to be repaid for his pains in
hen currency-eggs.
The Improvement in house building
has not been less marked, and, while
like the other buildings, the home has
been improved in external appearance,
it is also better built fnr w;thstandins the
weather. The clapboarding is reinforced
by sheathing boards and paper, and
before the interior woodwork is put ON
the rooms are lathed and plastered to the
floor. The rooms are thus made nearly
frostproof, and the bay window keeps its
quota Of cheering flowers free from blight
ing frost. The home is thus up-to-date in
all that conduces to comfort and refine
ment. The rural mail carrier leaves his
mail daily at his gate, and he is thus in
duced to increase his supply of reading
matter. Certainly the farmer who is
thus situated is rather to be enyied than
to be filed with this feshly fruit.
