Opening Of The Ball Season

Early ball games now being played
on Southern diamonds are reminder O
the coming season, and that it is good
business for any town to maintain strong
team.
The lack Of the sport is that it rarely
encourages the average man into exercise
of his own. Sitting on the bleachers,
cheering the home boys, or even execras-
ing the umpire, do not develop your own
muscle.
But the sight Of nine men drilled to
become one intelligent unit, the snap and
viVacity Of sport where thought and
action are instantaneous, the exhibition
of perfect muscular development and
control, the complete mastery shown
over the laws of motion as applied to q
baII-all this would seem a wonderful
spectacle were it nobso familiar. And
the swift shifts of fortune in this thrill.
ling competition appeal tot mobile and
enthusiastic American temperament.
A town which fails to give adequate
support to base ball seems to host Of
people as slow as a town minus rail-
road. And the business men should re-
feet that visitors who come to see tase
hits often remain to buy at the stores.

PEAFOWL ETIQUETTE

For bringing up their families peafowl
hens are a model to every other fpathered
fowl il existence. The nest is usually
made Of a quantity of dry sticks, and
when fairly set and on it the difficulty is
to find out where the hen is. So beauti.
fully does the ash gray plumage assimilate
with the surroundings that it is often
possible to tumble over the nest before
recognizing it. In this nest are laid from
three to four large whitish eggs about the
size of those laid by the common domestic
goose.
When the chicks are hatched out they
are the most delightful little brown birds
imaginable. The color is a rich deep
brown, and they much resemble young
pheasants both in size and in cnoring
Many people have often laughed at the
curious etiquette noticeable in the be-
havior of bees toward their qneen. But
the peafowl etiquette iu introducing
young chicks to their owner is at least as
curious. As soon as the chicks are able
to walk the mother marshals them in a
procession, and, Leading 9 self, she stalks
to the place where she and the others are
generally fed. Having form lily intro
duced her brood, she takes them back to
the nest, and they are not seen any more
for some weeks. The hen will come and
be fed, but the chicks are supposed to
remain in retreat till they are grown to
the size Of spring chickens, wien they
come ont and join the rest OF the fowls
and learn to feed for themselvee.-Cosaa.

To Save Peach Crop

Determined that for once the spring
frosts shall not ruin the Delaware peach
crop, large heating apparatus has been
installed in the big Chandler peach or
chard, which is expected to keep buds
from freezing. Under the trees at GER
tain distance apart, pots of crude oil are
placed with an electrical apparatus to
ring an alarm bell on the farm when the
temperature drops below the freezing
point. As soon as the bell rings the pots
will be lighted and the heavy smoke and
warmth from the oil is expected to stand
off the freezing spells which seldom lasts
mole than an hour or two in that section,
but in that short time, generally kill fruit
prospects. The apparatus is first of its
kind ever installed in Sussex ,unty and
the experiment is being watched with in.
terest by the fruit growers.
