The greatest strides at modern and

convincing demonstration that some
thing else besides garden vegetables
can be raised in Delaware, are being
made by s. B. Richardson on his Mas

stalls measuring 12x12 feet and nearly
every stall contains a thoroughbred
horse, ranging in age from two to five
years. Nearby on the same farm is a
half mile track to keep the horses ex-
ercised and in practice at fast going.
A gasoline engine and plant with its
"chig chug'l is at work constantly

will take some peninsula prizes. Mrs.
Richardson besides the duties of her
