During the last decade the Delaware
farmer has come to regard live stock as
essential to profitable agriculture. In or
der to maintain soil fertility large guam
titles of grass and forage crops must be
grown and corn and other cultivated crops
raised to keep the land in good condition.
The only good market for such coarse pro-
ducts as pasture, hay, fodder corn and
roots is through the medium Of some class
OF live stock. Experience has shown that
certain types OF animals are especially
adapted to yielding certain classes Of pro-
ducts For instance. the closely selected
and highly bred dairy animal with inheri-
ted qualities for the production Of milk
and butter. is pre-eminentiy the animal
for yielding those products So it is with
each class OF intelligentiy selected ami
mails Better profits are obtained from
their growth than can be secured through
the old fashioned nondescript ANNA
which may consume any amount OF roust
feed, but which produces but little gair
for the feed consumed. The enterprisins
farmer therefore. must study closely the
breads and tvnes Of animals in order n
know those which viii give him the best
returns for the feed grown. Modern meth.
DDS Of live stock education include close
comparison of types and breeds and work
with the animals themselves. It is through
the New Castle County Fair that these
animals can be brought together at such
a time as will afford the best opportunitie,
to make such studies

Mrs. Aston will have her hands more

Mothers of Bad Boys.

arMothers of Bad Boys" is the title
of an article which was recently writ
ten by a man of great experience, and
It tells some very palpable truths about
these mothers. Various readers or the
article have recommended that every
mother of boys should peruse II and
take to heart the truths told in the ar
ticle.
Take the opening paragraph for in
stance:
at is a common saying that boys
best friend is his mother. But TINS Is
true only in a qualified sense. Ihe
animal instinct of motherhood, the ms
passion of the female for its young Is
blessing to the Offspring only "heh
property governed and directed. Inc
motherlv solicitude which flnds eN-
nression alone, in the protection OF the
offspring. rather than in directing ana
shaping the activities of the OFFSPRING
in proper channels. SO far from peihs
a blessing, is not infrequently curse
"The mother who regards her own
children as so much better than other
children. and who is so anxious LOT
them to have the best of 1T that she
fools an inward sense of complacency
when they give others the worst Oh IT,
sho,,1d subiest her material solicitude
to a searching introspection. IN 'ahins
I'm her childrens quarrels ana main
tanning them at all hazards, she is IN
sitting in the minds of her Offspring
that spirit of unrestrained selhsnness,
that fragrant disregard of right, Which
NAV make of them fit candidates Tor
the penitentiary.
u ,s NOT the harsh and cherries
home that always drives the boy to the
crime. The mother of the criminal is
not always a virago, oftener IMAM
otherwise these women are loving and
tender toward their young, but they
lack the saving quality of Justice. Inc
mother who would not lead her boy to
crime should never even in his earliest
childhood. seek to shield him from the
inst consequences of his own mis-
deeds. She must teach him, first of all,
that "as a man soweth so shall he
rean.v The mother should realize that
when mother-love is perverted to other
ends it sinks to the level OF the purely
animal nature, and will without doubt
produce but an animal in the SEM
blance of man.
What the boy needs all the time from
the cradle to the grave is not pro-
lection. not only love, but simply JUS
tice Mothers of bad boys do. not un-
derstand that in so far as may be pos
sible they are not sacrificing them
selves alone, but society as we'll.
The "boy problem" is, after all, not
the boy problem at all. 1t is the
grown-up problem. 1t is not the child
who has failed in his relation to So
ciety, but the grownups who neglect
to provide the natural means whereby
he can grow into an understanding of
his relations with his fellows. 1t is
only through a better trained parent
hood that good citizens will be de-
veloped.
