TYING UP A FLEECE.

Directions For the Proper Care Of tno
Wool Growers Crop.
First all the tag locks must be re-
moved, whether they be dung or
grease and dirt. writes w. @ Corey
Of the Illinois station. describing the
proper way to tie up a fleece; second.
the fleece should be carefully rolled
up by hand mot in wool box. with
no ends or stray locks p%rotruding and
with the flesh side out; third, the
fleece should be tied with a hard.
glazed Irvine, not larger than one
eighth inch in diameter. In tying the
ends Of the Irvine especial care should
be taken to make a firm, hard knot
that will not slip.
Tag locks are not SO common that
their presence In deeces from farm
docks Is the rule rather than an ex.
ception. The total effect Of leaving
them on heeces is bad. It puts our
woods In bad standing with wool
houses and nRnufaeturers. Long con.
tinued, 1t has led to the only logical
result-namely. discrimination IN pgice
against our woods.
Careful rolling. with the flesh side
out and no ends or stray locks show
ing. adds greatly to the appearance OF
the fleece II also prevents mixing
the wool from different feeces. and,
by the way, each fleece should be tied
to itself In the wool warehouse 1t
is a pretty sight to see the heaps Of
graded wool faced with a tier Of care
fully rolled and tied heeces.

narrowing wheat In the spring Is a
practice that is receiving considerable

ground is compacted hard from beating

Why Rely On corn2

In sections where corn has not prov
ed a success it Is folly to rely upon
corn. In such sections there are crops
which do succeed, and It is the part of
intelligence to plant them. Kafir, milo
and other crops grow and do well
where corn fails. Then why rely on

INTERCHANGEABLE STAMPS.

An order has been sent out from the
Postoffice Department at Washington,
to the effect that on and after July lst,
1913. parcel post stamps and the regular
stamps will be Interchangeable. That
is, the regular stamps may be used on
parcel post packages and the parcel
post stamps may be used on all other
classes Of mail as well as the fourth
class mail. The regular postage due
stamps and parcel post due stamps will
also be interchangeable after that
date. The department has also an
nounced that the issuance Of all parcel
post stamps and parcel post due stamps
to postmasters will be discontinued after
the stock on hand in the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing is exhausted.
The seperate parcel post stamps are to
be done away with, and one set of
stamps viii be available for all classes
matter. The new administra-
ton has set out to ec0nomize in the
Postoffice Department by doing away
with all unnecessary duplication. The
handling of several different sets of
stamps is a waste of time and much
harder for the clerks in the postoffices.
The abolishment of unnecessary sets
will be looked upon as a saving by every
one, excepting stamps collectors.

them at a lower rate of interest, the

the lower rate or sell to the new bidders.

BASE BALL.

For those of the public of Milford
who enjoy base ball two games have
been arranged for the home grounds.
This morning Milford will cross bats
with the strong Bancroft team of VIII
mlngton, which is now second in the
city leauge. This afternoon the same
teams will cross bats. An announce
ment which is gratifying to the base ball
enthusiasts to the effect that the best
of order will be kept. and no more
ouarreling and growing among the
players, such as was in evidence during
the Milford and Dover game recently,
will be allowed has been made. Go 60
the games todayand enjoy clean baseball.
The Caulk team will play today at
Miils0oro. This team since it was or
ganized a few weeks ago has develop
ed very fast and is now playing good
ball. On Saturday afternoon the Caulk
team and the Milford first nine will
cross bats. The strong Davis battery
has been secured by the Caulk bows.
and will be ia the box on Saturday.
They will play for Milford tomorrow
against Bancroft. however.
On Saturday afternoon last the Caulk
team crossed bats with the Lincoln team
ard Won by the score to 5 to ]. The
game was clean in every respect, and
a good crowd witnessed the game.
1t has been rumored about the town
that the Chronicle does not support the
home team as it should be supported.
This paper has always been an advo-
cate of strong base ball team for
Milford. and has been glad to publish
any articles furthering such a purpose.
1t will not, however, print articles of
commendation about such games as
that played between Milford and Dover
recently, and in this it has the backing
of those who favor good clean bali In
the past we have used the articles, and
in the future we will publish anything
that will aid the boys so long as they
conduct themselves properly and cause
their opponents to play square.

MERCHANTS Want To
CLOSE Stores EARLIER

Several of the merchants in Milford
have started an agitation looking to
the closing of the stores of this town
earlier on Wednesday and Saturday
evenings. The suggestion has been
made that on Wednesday evenings the
stores close at g o'clock, and on Satur-
day evenings at 1920 O'Clock. The
store keepers who are anxious that the
change be made state that very little
business is done after the times named
above on the respective nights, and
that If the customers know that the
places Of business will close at specified
times they will shop earlier. In this
manner they claim that the clerks will
be given the benefit Of the early closing
while the merchants will not suf-
fer any from a monetary stand
point A few years ago when the
stores decided to close each evening ex-
cept Wednesday and Saturday some
few merchants refused to close. They
did not benefit much, however, as the
people soon found that the majority Of
the stores were closed and that they
could not shop satisfactory, and as a
result they ceased to try to shop ex-
cept on the above named nights. These
who kept open soon closed with the
rest. 1t more than likely that the new
plan will be tried as soon as enough mer-
chants agree to close.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT FOR NEWARK.

The contract to install the new sewers
and sewage disposal plant for the town
of Newark. Delaware, was awarded to
L. B. Jacobs of that town for the sum
of $50. .949.22. Work will begin as soon
as the materials can be got on the
grounds. and when this is completed.
the SANITARY conditions of Newark viii
be equal to those prevailing in other
towns. The new Woman College, and
the other educationsl institutions of
Newark, make it absolutely necessary
that the care of sewage should be one
of the important duties of Newark.
The boys and girls Of this and other
states. who reside in that town for nine
months of each year, can do so without
danger to their health from typhoid
fever, which has been the cause of
many boys going to other colleges.

TOWN COUNCIL has DOG TROUBLES.

The ordinances requiring citizens of
Milford who harbor or keep dogs within
the corporate limits of the town of Mil
ford to pay one dollar for each male dog
and two dollars for each female dog
annually. has been put into effect by
the present Town Council and as a re-
suit there is a great howl, not from the
dogs however, but from those who have
to give up the dollar. 1t was at first
the purpose TO have each dog killed for
which the license had not been paid,
but Colonel Theodore Townsend called
attention to the fact. that a live dog
was far more profit to the Town Council
than a dead dog. and also to the fact,
that dogs when registered at the County
Seats before the Clerks-0f- the-Peace.
were personal property just as much as
hog, and that by killing dogs Town
Council could be let into damage suits
galore. There is a court case on record
sustaining this view of the situation.
and members of council cO-incided with
this idea. so that now the fine for harbor-
ing dog without having paid the annual
tax to the town, which ranges from FIVE
to ten dollars. will be imposed. One
half of the fines goes to the person or

argument, that where a dog is confined
to the home or premises of the owner,
the tax can not be collected from the
owner; but, to this Town Council re-
plies that the law provides for any dog
within the incorporated limits. and the
tax must come, or owner forfeit and pay
the penalty. One hundred dogs were
registered up to the first of July, and
sirce then the dollars have been coming
in rapidly to the Alderman. who issues
the tags.
