HICKS FORECAST FOR NOVEMBER

The storm diagram from this month
shows that regular Vulcan storm period
is central on the 1st, I'd and Sd. Rain
and high temperature will give way to
rising barometer, with possibly gusts of
snow.
About the 9TH, 9th and 7th look for
noticeable rise in temperature, falling
barometer and return Of general storm
conditions. Rains turning to snow in the
north, will visit some sections of the
country, in their eastward march about
the 5th to the Sth. A marked change
of high barometer and colder will follow
the storms, spreading to the east and
south about the 7th and 9th inclusive.
About the 18th to 18th may reasonably
be expected one of the most general and
active storm centers of the month. As
early as the 10th the barometer will be
falling in the west Charge to warmer
will attend the falling barometer, and
during the 1lth to 18th these conditions
will pass over the country, moving east
ward, bringing rain and snow storms to
most parts of the country.
A reactionary storm period is central
from the 18th to the Goth, having the
new moon.
A regular storm period is central on
the Gath, covering with its influence the
22d to the 9th. As rule the first two
to three days of the regular storm periods
are fair and growing warmer, with falling
barometer and easterly to southerly
winds. Then follow cloudiness, storm
and precipitation, progressively from
west to east. Behind the area of high
and rain, rising barometer,
snow and cold, west winds follow, all
ending in cold, clear weather. This order
of phenomena will transpire about the
22d to 26th, but the cold, fair weather
the storms will be of short du- |
ration. Reactionary storm conditions
will prevail as the month goes out, bring |
ing unsettled, threatening and stormy
weather. Upon the whole, the outlook |
for November is not so perturbed and |
stormy as October promised to be. In
TACT, much pleasant, autumnal weather
may be expected through November and
into December. All who observe the
lates of storm periods in the foregoing
forecasts will be fully apprised and fore
armed against all unpleasant storm and
weather visitations.
Every intelligent reader of current
news will be fully posted in the history
If storms and other meteorological con-
yulsions during the first half of October
Tornadoes visited half dozen States,
Killing and wounding many people. Dis
Istrous storms swept over the great lakes,
yrecking vessels and destroying vast
hipping and many lives. The whole
Atlantic coast was deluged with phenom-
nal rails, destructive winds, floods and

POULTRY ON THE FARM
By E. ]. WATERSTRIPE

"There is not farm that can be called
complete which has not poultry yard
The poultry yerd is the main source oi
continual income to meet the everyday
expenses of the family, for it brings, OF
ought to bring, an income every day.
1 know how handy the few dollars are
which the poultry give to me every week.
"The great point in poultry keeping
Is that we can start in the business with
small capital and have an income from
the beginning, and when we increase our
flock the income increases also. The re-
quired capital for a start is what keeps
lots of people out of business, but it is
not so with the man who wants to 60 in
to the poultry business. OF course every
farmer does not want to go into the work
heavily, but it will pay every farmer to
keep some good poultry. Whichever
branch of poultry raising We engage in,
it is necessary that we have the breed
especially adapted to it. Ii we want eggs
we must have the kind that ''lay eggs"
l tind by experience and observation that
there is difference, and great diff
erence. For my choice would take the
Rose Comb White Leghorn; do not be
lieve they can be excelled in egg produc-
tion. know get more eggs than my
neiglbors who keep the other kinds.
But il were going to raise broilers, |
would choose one of the larger breeds.
'IIens need a variety of food; the
greater the variety the better. Don't for
get the water; keep pure water before
them all the time. feed all kinds of
sraiHs1and vegetables. About twice a
week l give a potato mash, and that is
what counts, especially in the winter.
/ mix with it some cornmeal, bran, etc.,
and in this mash is the best place to give
any medicine or preventive which we
may wish to give.
'tCarefui management is the ma n
point of success, and the nearer we have
it to perfection, the nearer We will be to
success in the work. 1t will not do to
neglect some of the necessary points.
Grit is essential and must not be neg
lected. l use broken crockery pounded
in fine particles, and occasionally I give
a bucket:ul of coarse gravel, and always
have plenty of eggs, and eggs are what I
want. find that carful management,
variety of food and pure water will bring
success to the poultry raiser, if he keeps
his eyes open. Tribune Farmer.

GAME GUARDIANS
Annual Meeting of the Protec-
tive Association Held in Dover
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

The annual meeting OF the Delaware
Game Protective Association was held at
Dover Saturday when reports were SUBJ
mitted and officers elected, and it was
one of the most successful ever held.
r. representatives. from Wilmington, Mid
dletown, Dover, Viola, Woodside, Fred
erica and Laurel were present, and be-
fore business was transacted dinner was
held at the Hotel Richardson. This was
a new feature and an excellent repast
was served by the hotel management.
After the report OF the president, A.
D. Poole, had been submitted there was
discussion on matters of interest to the
association, particularly as to methods of
enforcing the Game Laws, and it was de-
cided to make an appeal to sportsmen,
calling on them to ASSIST in this.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, Alfred D. Poole; secre-
tary and treasurer, ]. Danforth Bush;
vice presidents, New Castle county, T.
B. Brison of Wilmington; Kent county,
J. B. Bice of Dover; Sussex county, Peter
j. Hart of Georgetown.
The report of the secretary and treas
urer was made and committee appointed
to audit his accounts.
The annual report of the president,
Alfred D. Poole, follows:
The members of the Delaware Game
Protective Association:
In game matters during the past year,
the principal one of interest to the sports
men of the state, was the efforts of this
Association to have a new Game Law
passed by our Legislature. There was
no attempt in the bill which we intro.
duced to make any radical changes, we
only endeavored to simplify the existing
laws so that they could be more readily |
understood, to eliminate such parts as
were imperative, and to make some
minor changes that experience has dem
'nstrated to be advisable, principal among
,he latter being to increase the fee for
gunners. As our law now
stands, it costs less for non-residents to
'nioy the privilege Of shooting in this
tate than in any of the adjoining ones,
md as consequence the number of such
increasing every year. to the manifest
injury of our own citizens. For some
eason, however, principally for want of
Uniformity in the desires of the different
ections, it did not meet with the ap-
'roval of the legislators, and failed of
,assage.
There have been comparatively few
'iolations of the game laws brought to
ur attention during the past year, but
uch as have been, however, have been
looked after, so far as our funds
Tould permit, and in a numhsr of cases
have been obtained. At the
resent time We have detectives at work
n several different localities where viola.
ions have been reported.

TIME TO PRAY

said. Snow every man not paying his
debts stand up" The exception noted,

clothed in his last summers suit, slowly
assumed perpendicular position.
"How is it, my FRIEND" asked the
minister, "that you are the only man
not to meet his obligationsp' 81 run a
newspaper" he meekly answered, "and
the brethren here who just stood up are
my subscribers, and"
"Let us pray" exclaimed the minister.
