THOUSANDS OF chicks
AT The POULTRY FARM

The Poultry Farm. owned by the Grier
Brothers and managed by julius Breme,
which is located Just west Of Milford
has been the scene Of much activity this
week. On Monday a large incubator
holding 5000 eggs began to hatch, and
the following day 300 chicks were taken
from it. While this is not large pro-
portion, the fact that the eggs were laid
during the zero weather Of February
probably accounted in part for the num-
Der Matched. The chicks were taken TO
houses. heated with oil stoves, and built
especially for them. One thousand chicks
were placed in each house. On Wednes-
day the small incubatOrs, holding 5000
eggs in all. began to hatch and yesterday
afternoon a large number Of chicks were
taken from them. The large incubator
has been reset. and the smaller ones
will be set within few days. This poul-
try farm is one Of the largest and best
conducted in the east, and it is well
worth persons time to visit it.

ALFRED RAUGHLEY
LOSES COLLECTORSHIP

After months Of waiting, and much
speculation as to who would receive the
appointment as Collector Of Internal
Revenue for the District comprising
Maryland, Delaware and the District Of
Columbia. President Wilson on Friday
last sent the nomination of Joshua w.
Miles, Of Somerset County, Maryland,
to the Senate. Alfred Raughley, of
Harrington. has been Delaware's only
contestant for the office, which carries
with it the appointment of a number of
assistants most of which are also lost
TO Delaware, and Senator Salisbury has
been active in trying to secure his
appointment. Interest in Mr.. Raughley's
fight for the Office has not been entirely
with the Democrats, for the big majority
Of the Republican voters of this State
felt that the nomination should come
from Delaware, and knowing the ster-
ling qualities Of Mr.. Raughley wished
him success in landing the plum. His
Republican friends, as well as his Demo
cratic friends, were sorry to learn Of
his defeat

WIDE AWAKE.

The Boy Scouts of Milford are show
ing many signs Of being a wide awake
organization. During the past week
Watson Denney, Edward Murphy and
Fred Wiley have successfully passed
their tender-fOot examinations, and Ed
ward Evans and James Deputy have
qualified as second class scouts. At a
recent meeting the boys decided to make
a determined effort to have the entire
troop qualified as first and second class
scouts before the summer encampment,
and from present indications they will
fully realize their ambition. This applies
to Troop No. /, but If reports are not
Troop No. 2, recently organ
lied under the able leadership Of Scout
Master Rev. E. H. J. Andrews, is forg-
ing ahead too and doing fine work. This
troop meets weekly at Mr.. Andrews
home. Troop No. / meets every Friday
evening at the home Of Scout Master
Daniel G. Anderson, but the summer
will probably see the boys quartered in
their own assembly room, for which
they are now planning.

SPRING FISH ARE COMING ON.

The first herring to be sold from
wagons was on last Friday, when James
Williams, fisherman at Cedar Beach.
brought several bushels of fine fish to
Milford. The fish sold rapidly at 40
cents a dozen. Williams stated that he
had never made such a large catch so
early in the spring before. The fish
were exceptionally large. At Woodland
and Bowers Beach the fishermen have
been very active during the past week,
and large quantities Of rock and perch
have been caught The shad fisherman
are now getting their gill seines in shape
for bay fishing and expect to ship many
barrels Of these fish to the city markets

TO PLANT MORE CANTALOUPES.

The farmers at and about Houston, a
live town in lower Kent County. which
is in the centre of the truck and fruit
growing section of this advanced section
of agriculturists, know what they want
and how to get after it. At a call sent
out for a meeting at Armour's Hall last
Wednesday evening in Houston, over
one hundred responded and took part
in the discussions. The meeting was
really a smoker, participated in by
representative farmers for three miles
about Houston. Frank Clendaniel stated
that the object of the meeting was to
discuss the growing of cantaloupes in
carload lots. He clearly stated the adj
vantages, and his purpose to buy direct
from the growers at the station. Grow
ing cantaloupes is no new subject for
the growers about Houston, but the pos
sibility of having a buyer contract with
them for the output Of a certain acreage.
was a new thing to them. and it has
made very favorable impression. From
the action of the meeting held on We'd
nesday evening at Houston. there will
be no trouble to get growers TO plant
sufficient acreage to load several cars
each day during the ripening season at
Houston, which will bring buyers and
competition for their melons. The large
cannery of Stetson and Ellison will Oper-
ate on tomatoes again in that section,
and the canning Of peas will also form a
part of the business in this year for
Houston farmers.

BOY SHUTS on HIKE

Last Saturday morning, about nine
o'clock, the End Troop of Boy Scouts. Of
this town, under charge Of Rev. Z. H.
Andrews, their scoutmaster, went on a
hike to Simpsons Woods, through the
deep snow. Arriving there they selected
a camping place and cleared away the
snow and leaves. After getting this
done the scoutmaster set out from camp
and made a trail through the woods.
The boys were to track him, one going
every few minutes. When all got back
they made their fires to cook dinner.
The test was, to light a fire with not
more than two matches. After doing
this the boys set to work to cook dinner
one-quarter pound of meat and two p0-
tatOes for each one without the ordin-
airy kitchen utensils. Under the direc-
ton Of the scoutmaster, this was sue
cessfully done. After dinner some sig
mailing was practiced with flags. 1t was
then about two O'Clock and as Rev. An
dreWs had to attend service at his church,
they started lhome. All the boys said
