Carrying Out Provisions of Recent
Legislature for a $4,000 ArmorY.
Governor Charles r. Miller, Adult
ant General !. Pusey Wickersham and
State Treasurer Charles A. Hastings,
a member Of the State Military com
mission held a conference at Newark
Monday, relative to picking out a
site for the new srmory for Newark.
The last session Of the State Legis-
lature appropriated SIS, 600 for the
erection of such building, and while
no money was allowed for the site
the town commissioners have offered
several sites. These were viewed
but the commissioners made no de-
finite choice at this time. Colonel
Theodore Townsend and General T.
{. du Pont were the only absent
members Of the CON mission. New
ark Academy owns a Tlot Of land that
would make an ideal site and it was
suggested that the property be do
mated for the purpose. The trutees
of the old Academy, however, at a
meeting last night refused to give the
land away because it was an original
grant from William Penn, and the
deed states it is to be- used perpetual
ly for educational purposes.

David Postles who resides on a fine

during the present season OF the
above 415 cars were actually shipped
from Selbyville station. or p cars
fmore than the previous banner year.
While the other cars were loaded
from Ocean View except a very few
from Whaleyville. II is estimated
that Baltimore Hundred has received
at least $3.50, 600 for its berries
The strawberry season eloed at
Ridgely on Tuesday of last week with
good results ell around. While the
crop was short, the prices ruled high
during the entire season. The number
of crates shipped from Ridgely this
year were 10, 075, or 565, 036 quarts.

Best Crop Farm.

The boys and girls of the farm in
terested in farm life and agriculture
mean more to the country than broft-
able crops of wheat, oats and live
stock. If the young people are inter
ested in farm life 1t means they will
take charge OF the work of the farm
and become useful and valuable citi-
zens. They have no desire to move
to town and lose themselves in the
city. They recognize the beautiful
side as well as the profitable side OF
farm life. Too much attention cannot
be given to the boys and girls. They
should be made partners with mother
and father, and their every question
relative to plant and animal life an
swered. In this way they will see
deeper than the surface, and will take
pride in the work they are doing.

Badly Affected With Scabies.

can be softened while the sheep are
being dipped, by rubbing the thick
scabs with a brush. Care should be
taken, however, not to draw blood,
as on coagulation it will protect the
mite from the dip.
Lambs do not need to be dipped for
so long time as older sheep, as their
wool is short. They are also more
delicate in constitution, hence cannot
stand the dipping as well as older
sheep.
Always water sheep before dipping,
otherwise they may drink the dip
which is sometimes found in little
puddles in the dripping pens.
Each sheep should be held in the
dip from two to three minutes, and
the head quickly immersed once or
twice just before the sheep leaves the
vat.
A sheep in moderate length of wool
and allowed to drip thoroughly after
being dipped will carry away from
two to three quarts of the dip. A
sheep after being shorn will carry
away dDouI Il HudiI I VI Iilt dib'
The question should not be, how
many sheep can be dipped in a day,
but how well can they be dipped.
If scabby sheep are taken direct
from pasture and dipped, they
should not be returned to that place
for a period of 80 days. Heavy
rains are said, however, to disinfect
open fields. If the sheep have been
housed in buildings prior to the dip
ping, these buildings should be dis
infected before the sheep are returned
to them.
Purchase no proprietary dips eX-
cept those having the approval of
your state agricultural department.
Use all proprietary dips exactly ac-
cording to directions.

LONG SHOULDER A FEATURE
Distinctive Mark Of the New 5louses
-Robespierre Collar Also Much
in Evidence.

The long shoulder is one of the fea-
lures of the new blouse. 1t extends
well below the shoulder. about one
third the distance to the elbow, and
there it is attached to the sleeves by
a fiat double seam.
Shirtwaist sleeves are long, many
with frill falling over the hand
The odd sleeve Is seen in few Of
the lingerie blouses, the body being a
plain white voile, the sleeve having
small embroidered designs.
The Robespierre collar is seen in
various forms, but is more suited to
the everyday bluose than to a more
formal gown. 1t makes satisfactory
finish for blouses that open in front,
especially for wearers who desire a
feeling of freedom at the neck.
The net guimpe is much used where
the open neck is not convenient or be-
coming.
Many of the more elaborate blouses
have the waistCoat effect. Narrow
vests of net are used, tucked and
straight with a row of washable but

Quite the most striking innovation
seen in blouses is one of voile. This
has a double breasted, low-cut waist
coat, Of ratine striped voile with four
white pearl buttons as fastening and
finish. From the neck to the top OF
the waistcoat it was filled in with
tucked voile. 1t had all the appear,

PROFITABLE WEIGHT OF PIGS
Should Not Be Fed After Reaching
Age Of Nine Months-Money in
Young Animals.

Experiments made for the purpose
of determining the economic weight
of a pig show conclusively that he
never should be fed beyond eight or
nine months old and the largest profit
is found, as a rule, in a weight not eX-
Ceeding 200 pounds. What is known
as the food of support, says "A writer
in the Farm and Home, plays a very
important part in the proSt or LOST
of large weights.
Suppose, as many farmers say, that
n pig is not to be killed until he
reaches 800 pounds. He must take
from his food an increasing amount
each day to support or maintain the
weight already gained, or else he
cate that per cent. of the live weight
in food must be taken each day TO
support that live weight.
If the animal weighs 800 pounds
this amounts to six pounds of food
daily, or over 40 pounds per week
and as the only profit is the food that
is applied to make new weight, 1t re
suits that over 40 pounds of fooC
are consumed per week from whicl
no profit whatever is reapcd. 1t fol
lows that the most money can bt
made from young hogs killed at 1

"DRI CLEANING" AT HOME

Ing n little OF her own cleaning, but
1t is seldom successful. and 1t Is as
hard to lose the odor of gasoline as
II Is to acquire the odor Of sanctity.
Also II is dangerous.
Therefore the knowledge OF some
simple methods OF dry cleaning that
can be done at home. and that leave
no trace of the process, would save
many n precious dollar to the woman
who is running to the limit OF her
allowance for dress. The materials
required are very simple-fuller's

plain cornmeal. The first three can
be bought by the ounce or pound
from and druggist. and the others are

For white suit 1t is perfectly safe
to use either the meals or talcum

cleaned by putting It into dry. clean

STARTING OF SEEDS INDOORS
Soil Must Be Kept Warm and Moist,
but Not Too Wet-Avoid Crowd
ing of Plants.

Shallow boxes or flats are consid.
cred best for starting seeds indoors,
but pots do not take up so much
room. and are less unsightly, so for
starting just few seedlings or to try
choice seeds we often use pot,
writes Lulu G. Parker in the Farmers
Wife. We have started pansy and
other seedlings often In the big pots
in which rubber plants or oleanders.
or other things which do not shade
the soil. are growing
The soil must be kept warm and
moist, but not wet. For this purpose
a piece of glass over the top of the
pot will help to hold the moisture. but
this glass must be tilted up some
what in order to let in, some air or
the soil will sour and the seedlings
mold or damp Off.
Sift the soil for the top layer and
cover the seeds about twice as deep
as the seed is thick. Press the soil
hrmly over the seeds with the palm
Of the hand or little board before
giving water so that they will not be
washed out. For very fine seed it will
be good plan to spread damp cloth
over the soil and then sprinkle the
water on the cloth until the seeds be-
gin to sprout.
After the seeds begin to sprout they
must be kept in the lightest window
and never allowed to get too dry or
to grow too crowded.
The rest depends upon the seed It
self, therefore always buy from a
reputable scotsman.

small tucks which slanted away from

There are all shades of red, green,

which trimmed the front of the gown
