General Stevens Of Seaford, and For
mer Congressman Houston as the two
most promltent Democrats mentioned
for National delegate.
Levy Court Commissioner Charles H.
Salmon may not make the fight for
national delegate from this county
against Former Congressman Handy.
Mr.. Salmon and Mr.. Handy have been
in conference recently and it is said
that Mr.. Salmon informed some friends
that he had not made up his mind

the choice Of the Gray men in Kent
county for national delegate.

ATTENDANT GETS
SALARY DOUBLED

Robbed Of $50. his three years earn
ings as an attendant of colored patients
at the New Castle County Hospital,
where he also is an inmate, William
Berry. through Dr. II. w. Briggs, coun-
ty physician, won the sympathy of the
board Of trustees Of the county hospi =
tai at its meeting yesterday, and here
after he will receive 81 a month for
his services instead OF 81 as hereto
fore.
This action was a roundabout way OF
making Berry's loss good, as the trus-
tees had no authority TO reimburse 70
his loss outright Berry was robbed
by some inmates Of the institution.
Now Berry is enjoying the unique ex-
perience Of having had his salary rails
ed 100 per cent. in times when, owing
to the industrial depression, It has been
the rule TO reduce salaries TO a bare
existence limit.

estimate places the mount for the sea-
son now beginning at SIP, 100000. Nat
urally the big leagues spend the most
because the clubs composing them
have to pay the largest salaries, travel
the farthest and expend the greatest
amounts for rental of land and equip
ment of grounds. For instance. it will
cost the Chicago White Sox about
$4,000 for their California trip. Ac-
cording to the schedules laid out for
the coming season, the National league
teams will travel 92,465 miles and the
American league 90, 772.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, better known
to baseball rooters as "Ty," whose work
was such an important factor in max
ing the Detroits the winners of the
American league pennant last year, is
a Georgian and part owner of a cot
ton plantation. During the American
leagues season he played $50 games
and went to bat COS times and made
PIP hits, giving him an average of bet
ter than $50. And "Ty'' is only a bo,

1886 and began playing baseball as a
professional about three years ago.

N Q FARMERS
Hoofs Of the Horse.

sssS U
When the foot is gone there is IL,
morse left. There is an old adage t,
this effect, the truth of which is in
controvertible, says E. Russell in Farm
Journal. Yet no part of a horses
anatomy is worse used than the feet
and there are no more frequent dis
eases brought to the notice of the vet
Urinary surgeon than those of the feet
This comes of the unwise fashion Of
rasp1ng, cutting, burning, tarring ant
greasing the hoofs.
When a shoe is to be fitted the edg.
or wall sole should be prepared by
cutting or rasping, not by burning. In
deed, The shoe should be fitted to the
FOO and not the foot to the shoe.
When from bad management the sole
and frog have become dry and con
tracted no grease or. tar should be
used, but water should be used freely
and then the hoof should be dressed
with glycerin, which will mix will
water and does not displace it.
Glycerin contains no acid or acrid
properties, but is soft, bland, emollien1
and does not evaporate. 1t therefore
softens the horn and allows the iibers
to expand. Contraction is thus pre-
vented or is overcome when it has &C
tually occurred.

1t is said that Canada has rid itself

"The only remedy is in sanitation

scabies or any of the minor skin af.

that is too much expense simply catch

city hall, hut the great dome was left
standing, with it's steel frame bereft
of most Of it's covering. 1t makes a
picturesque ruin. Engineers decided
that the dome Of the city hall was
perfectly solid. Nevertheless the su-
pervisors voted that it would be un-
wise to rebuild the city hall as a
whole without rebuilding the dome, SO
the latter must come down. This

FEEDING Dairy Cattle.

. Remember that milk can be pro.
duced from feed only. The COW can
make milk only from the feed she con-
sumes. The more feed the more milk
is an invariable rule. If the COW is a
beef COW she will get fat, but if a milk
COW every ounce of feed she consumes
except that needed to support the an
1mal body will show in the milk pail.
If you have the right COW, do not feed
her stingily. Whoever heard of a man
feeding a bunch of fattening steers
scantily? Does the steer not have be-
fore him all the feed he can possibly
eat and usually all he can waste?
Then give the milk COW the same
chance.-Farmers Advocate.

Milk Value of Corn Fodder.

Trials at the Vermont station show
thai there is no material difference In
milk producing value between imma-
ture and mature corn fodder when
compared on the basis of dry matter.
The same results were secured with
silage made from mature and imma.
ture corn. A pound of dry matter Of
the immature corn produced the same
results as a pound of dry matter of the
mature corn. This suggests that if
corn is cut too early the farmer loses
too many pounds, and, on the other
hand, if cut too late too much in the
way of coarse butts is wasted.

Mike the questions, which We're: How
much does the moon weigh? How
many stars are there? What am 1

err very much alike, Mike said Nat he
would go in Pats place and answer

Remedy For Chicken Mites.

Make a brine Of salt and water SO
strong that it will bear up an egg.
Heat the water to insure that every
particle Of the salt dissolves. For each
gallon of the brine pour on a half pint
of crude carbolic acid. This may not
mix with the brine, but if the mixture
Is stirred freely while it is being ap-
piled the distribution will be equal.
Apply to the roosts and walls with a

Keeping Sauashes.

Many gardeners do not succeed in
keeping squashes until late in the
spring, but it is not difficult to hold
them until June if all conditions are
right. In the first place the squashes
should be harvested before frost. They
should be handled without bruising
and stored where there is an even TEN
perature. Either low or high tempera-
lures are disastrous to the long keep
ing of this vegetable. The soft shelled,
Immature specimens should be used or
sold In the fall.-National Stockman.

Since first inclined to loves young dream.

Where, like a queen, she reigns supreme.

In life she never greets my scan.

For I'm a very bashful man.

And print this hating verse of mine.
