Hungarian Partridge Protected.

The Delaware Game Protective
Association distributed early this
year, principally in the lower coun-
ties, 100 pairs of Hungarian par
tridges. They were frequently seen
after Liberation and up to the nest
ing season, and reports are now
coming in as to the result Of the
experiment of introducing these new
game birds. One correspondent
writes that the tenant on the farm
on which he placed those that were
sent him, has seen two coveys OF
Young birds, from fifteen to twenty
in each covey, about half grown
and doing well, and feels quite con-
fident that if they can be kept from
being killed, they will become
beautiful in a few years.
In this connection attention is
called to the law passed at the last
session ofthe Legislature protecting
these birds, and which is as follows:
Section I. That from and after
the passage Of this Act it shall be
unlawful for any person in the State
Of Delaware to hunt, kill, take or
destroy, sell or expose for sale, or
have in his possession after the
same has been killed any Hungarian
partridge or paruidges before the
first day of December, A. D. 1918.
Section ?. That if any person
shall be found within the State of
Delaware hunting, willfully killing,
taking or destroying, selling or eX-
posing for sale, or having in his
possession after the same has been
killed any Hungarian partridge or
partridges, such person shall be
deemed guilty Of a common nuis-
ance, and upon conviction thereof,
before any justice of the peace in
this State shall be fined Twenty
five Dollars for each and every
offense.
Section ). That the justices ofthe
peace shall have plenaryjurisdictiOn
of all offenses against the provis-
ions Of this Act.
In other States in which these
birds have been introduced their
success has been very marked, and
there is no reason why they should
not become plentiful with us if the
above law is rigidly observed and
the association intends that it shall
be, so far as lies in its power to en-
force It.

will have a crop of late apples.
Their early apples crop has been
one-half.
A full early apple crop off his
farm would mean over 1000 bush
els. The yield this year will be
! 500 of 'earlies. "
Of early apples, Yellow Trans
parent are extremely popular. For
this highly esteemed variety, the
Sopers have received 81 90 bush
ell this year. They will have, alto
gether about 600 bushels of Trans
parents.
Mr.. Soper, who is the author Of
the good roads bill which passed
the recent Legislature and has
since been ignored by the Levy
Court which has practically deter
mined a do-nothing policy, is not
content 10 sit idly by when other
States are in the midst of new-cen-
tury road making. With this in
view he will, at his own expense,
build a macadam road Of the latest
style from his home to the Camden
Wyoming roadway, a distance of
half a mile He will build this at
his own private expense.
He is a firm believer in the use
of stone, even if not in the regular
macadam road formula, on the
county roads
"The road from Wyoming to
Camden built by Former Levy
Court Commissioners William d.
Richards, said Mr.. Soper, lis one
of the best pieces Of road work 1
have ever seen in Delaware. This
faithful servant of the people de-
serves undying praise for this work
which he did at great sacrifice of
time and on only small appropria-
ton allowances from the perma-
nent good roads account. be-
lieve that the great body of farm
ers Of this section appreciate this
splendid work. It IS a pity that
we are not building every day
along the same line.
1t is said that if the Sopers at
tain their ambition, with their ac-
quired knowledge Of the apple bus
mess, of continuous orchard OF
100, 900 trees, they will both be-
come milliOnaires.

Danube Sturgeon for the Delaware

That the fishermen along the
banks of the Delaware may within
a few years see I7oo-pound sturgeon
coming up the river is so strong a
hope of Horace G. Knowles, re-
Gently minister to Roumania, that
it has grown to be a conviction.
His experience in the Balkan
States has made him familiar with
the great value of the Black Sea
sturgeon as a food as well as the
basis Of a great industry.
THE Delaware, " said Mr. Know
les, is natural sturgeon stream.
But with the usual wastefulness of
the American people we have de-
stroyed one of our greatest indus
trids and dissipated an invaluable
natural resource. The ruthless
slaughter of Delaware sturgeon, as
we'll as those of other Atlantic
streams, was nothing short of a
crime.
CAS- late as 1888 the Delaware
sturgeon catch was more than
8 ,ooO, 900 pounds for the year, and
in the middle of the nineties it was
something like 100000 pounds.
Now it is nothing.
Mr.. Knowles, through his inAu-
ence with the Roumanian govern
ment, obtained its consent to the
shipment Of carload Of fry of the
Black Sea sturgeon, the best in the
world. to the United States.
The Roumanian government was
so eager to help in this matter that
it will make a present Of millions
of sturgeon fry to this country.
United States Fish Commissioner
Bowers is already deeply interested,
and has told Mr.. Knowles that he
believes that sturgeon fisheries can
be revived in all our larger streams,
The Black Sea sturgeon grows to
enormous size. In the old days
6oo-pound sturgeon in the Della
ware was a monster In the Dan
ube 700 and Soo-pound fish are the
average. These yield between 200
and 500 pounds of caviar each.
But some of the Danube sturgeon
grow much larger, and FISH weigh
ing 1900 pounds are sometimes
captured.
1t has been arranged that the
Roumanian fry in cans will be 10 adj

Apples May Bring Fortunes.

81 believe we have the greatest
State in the Union, said Mr..
Soper the apple grower of near
Magnolia, Kent County, Delaware,
Properly handled, this State and
Peninsula could almost feed the
world. Talk about people increas-
ing until they overtake the food
supply-nothing like it will hap
pen if good farmers and hustling
workers come to Delaware.
Mr.. Soper added that he had
right to talk in this manner as he
had come from the North and was
not a native-born Delawarean.
He advised his friends throughout
the country from whence he came
to get acquainted with the Della
ware Peninsula while land is reas-
onably cheap.
The ambition of Mr.. Soper and
his son is 10 have 100, 900 apple
trees in bearing, the greatest apple
grove owned by one family in the
world. They now have $4,000
trees.
That they have thoroughly learn
ed the art of spraying, ploughing
and otherwise caring for and cult
waiting apples is demonstrated when
it is seen by an inspection Of the
Kent county orchards planted and
cultured by the Sopers, that in the

Early apples Have Paid Well.

TIE following is part Of letter written
by Marion Dawson, who travels all over
Kent County regularly, and is well ac-
quaiuted with the people, He says:
Over 81 600 has been received thus far
this season by F. NJ. soper and son for
cary apples aud Of this amount over
twelve hundred dollars camein last week,
and the apple harvest continues at its
best His trees are full of some varities
of late app Is.
NJ soper viii have an excellent crop
OF Bartlett pears but no peaches
A question is being asked in mathe-
MATES as result Of Mr.. soper's great
luck in growing apples in an off year
Ii tie SopeF's have received 5000
from early apple trees which, together
would not cover three acres; then how
many apples will be selling in a good
year and when all his IS 600 trees come
in bearing?
Twenty-Five pairs of hoPses and mules
are kept busy at Soper's and everything
round the apple-grower indicates that
there is brain, thought, courage and
muscle behind the enterprise.
Some time in the near future, Mr..
Soper is going to have all the farmers Of
Delaware at his place for a "feld day"
like that recently held at State Farm at
Delaware College.

Again Complain Of Freight Rates.

Secretary Z. w. Jenkins Of the
State Board of Agriculture has pre-
pared a paper concerning a handi-
cap which the farmers and particul-
arly the market gardeners have TO
contend with on this Peninsula
the matter of freight rates. He says
The freight rate on 100 pounds Of
wheat from Dover to Philadelphia
is FIVE cents. The freight rate on
100 pounds Of potatoes from Dover
TO Philadelphia is seventeen cents.
Therefore, we have the following
exhibit to ask your careful atten-
ton: For each 100 acres planted
in potatoes the railroad hauls sixty
tons Of fertilizer from Philadelphia
TO Dover, at SI.25 per ton, freight
revenues, SIS. For each 100 acres
planted in wheat the railroad hauls
fifteen tons of fertilizer from Phila-
delphia to Dover at SI25 per ton
net revenue $r8.75. From each
10 acres of potatoes the railroad
receives IS, 900 bushels of potatoes
aud collects 81 $50. From each 100
acres Of wheat the railroad receives
I 500 bushels and collects S54.
Total receipts for the railroad from
wheat, S7275 from potatoes,
ST COS. And yet the Pennsylvania
railroad travels a thousand miles
out west to pick up and transport
wheat crop to Philadelphia on
freight rates not to exceed seven
teen cents per 100 pounds, or as we
see it the railroad scavages the
country a thousand miles for $500
per acre and demands tax in Della
ware of SIS so for each and every
acre that grows $50 bushels otpota-
toes for a haul Of seventy-fve miles.
1t is on Strawberries, $50 an acre ;
on peas, SIS per acre, and on cab
bage, S34 an acre as against fifty
four cents All acre for wheat. It
seems clear that the burden on the
trucking interests is entirely too
heavy.

Eleanor Frances Household
Letter.

Summer Dainties. -Daiutiness o.
service and appearance at any time
an attractive feature of the table,
becomes essential in warm weather
if appetites are to be stimulated.
Food that attracts the eye appeals
to the palate. Summer dishes
should be easily prepared light in
texture and not hard to assimilate.
The fruits Of the season furnish
many tempting dishes that almost
everyone enjoys.
Cooled Catalogues Canta-
loupes should be served thoroughly
chilled, but not filled with ice, as is
so often done, as this destroys the
flavor and aroma of the melon
Fruit iellies made with a basis of
plain tapioca, z cup of tapioca,
two tablespoonstul of granulated
sugar and served with a sauce of
whipped cream, are practical and
nutritious. Cook the tapioca until
clear, add the sugar and vanilla or
other favoring, and allow it to cool
a little before putting with the
fruit. CHARTERED peaches, stoned
and peeled plums, berries or what
ever kind of fruit is liked can be
used Place the fruit in layers in
the mould or dish and pour in
enough jelly to cover until the
mould is full. Set on ice for two
hours and serve with cream, or with
a fruit sauce sweetened.
Fruit Whips -Raspberries make
a delicate dessert that most people
prefer to iced cream. To a pint Of
dead ripe berries crushed and mix
ed with a pint of sugar add the
whites of six eggs beaten as stiff as
possible, add the fruit syrup a
spoonful at a time, and continue
the beating. Serve with one cup
ful Of rich cream whipped to a froth
This dessert is best made Just be-
fore serving. Peaches or apples
make almost as nice a whip. Add
a little lemon to the peach pulp,
and flavor the apple sauce with
nutmeg or cinnamon.
Junket Desserts -Junkets are
light and wholesome and
well with fruits Add two
of liquid rennet or one
junket tablet to a quart of sweet
milk that has been warmed, not
boiled. Sweeten to taste and flavor
with wine or vanilla. Let it stand
a couple of hours on the ice. Serve
with berries, peaches, sliced bana-
mas or shredded pineapple.
