NO FRUIT FAILURE.

From the Middletown Transcript.
While the spring has been late and
the effect will be felt upon the market
crop, there is consolation in the fact
that conditions have not been un-
favorable for the fruit. Had the buds
been forced by premature warm
weather there would have been nip
ping frosts. AS it is the buds have been
late in unfolding and It may be hoped
that the danger Of frost will be past
before the fruit trees come into full
bloom. There will be heard, of course,
the usual pessimistic forecasts about
the fruit, but the weather conditions
have not been such as to justify them.
The outlook is favorable for the fruit
crop, and with plenty Of fruit the cost
of living will not be so heavy. Ex-
cept in the higher ranges of the state,
the fruit trees are upon the point Of
blossoming and, indeed In parts of
the state they are already in full
bloom The indications for a large
crop are consoling. and the weather
man is a subject of thanks for keeping
back the season from too much for
wardness, even though the farmer
may pay for this in other ways. 1t
is hard 10 get a season that will favor
all crops alike.

cials Joined In employing surveyor
to ascertain the cost OF the
work and It was thought that the
work would soon be commenced and
by this time would have been com
nleted, but a year has passed and the
town is no nearer a sewerage system
than it was before the matter was nut
before the people.
II is proposed that the Mayor and
Town Council take this matter M
and install the sewerage at an early
date. There is no doubt but what
there will be protest from several Of
the citizens as they think it will be
expensive and that they cannot stand
the heavy tax that would be neces-
sary to put upon them, but IL we
should wait for ten years it would be
the same.
Nobody doubts but what this is
what the town needs if we are TO have
a clean and sanitary town, and there
is no better time than now to begin
this work AND push it to finish: the
people must prepare to take their
part
Delmar has been almost at a stand
still for the past year and we would
like to see the Town Council get busy

And we feel that It is the duty Of
the citizens to endorse their move

The very special care OF the Runner

they must not be chilled, overfed or
left without water. They chill easily
at first and sometimes get cast on their
little fiat backs and may be unable TO
right themselves. Water Of blood tenn
perature should be the hrst supply,
then stale bread lightly moistened In
sweet milk. After week bran, mid
dlings ana later scornmeal and meat
scraps are added to the ration. Sprout-
ed oats. chopped lettuce or cabbage or
any available palatable green feed Is a
most important part OF the ration
whenever the ducks or ducklings are
not free to range. Nothing, however,
quite equals red or white clover or al
falfa, either grazed or supplied artifi-
cially. A new producer Of green feed
for yarded fowls is the Chinese cab
bage, which looks like two foot let.
tuce and is extremely tender.
Those who can should permit wide
range, with water privilege, after the
ducklings are seven or eight weeks old,
for this gives great muscular strength
and lessons feed bills, while with ma
ture ducks II is likely to increase the
hatchabillty of the eggs. In general,
bran, middlings, shorts and red dog
are the main reliance TO produce frame

oats and barley meal (the latter two
sieved while the ducSlings are yet

along both lines, and bonemeal helps
TO make a good frame.

From JIG Georgetown IonrnaI

from the Georgetown Journal.
Some of the county papers are ad-
yocating reduction in the member
ship Of the Levy Court, BY an act OF
the Legislature, from ten members to
a commission Of five, and possibly
three, who would have full charge Of
the governmental affairs OF the
county as much so as the Levy Court
does at the present time They argue
that more could be accomplished for
the benefit of the county, and that
money (which is not being iudiciouslv
spent could be saved" One of the
chief exponents of the three or five
commission form Of judicial govern
ment for the county is the Milford
Chronicle, yet that paper does not
give the reasons why such a radical
change should be made. As a matter
of fact commission of three or even
five, composed of wide-awake busi-
ness men-and they would be the
type of men wanted-could not give
the affairs much better attention
than the present body, If as good. In
the first place, in order to get the
kind of men desired, If would be
necessary to pay them salaries that
would equal and no doubt surpass the
combined salaries of the ten Levy
Courtmen. They could not give each
district in the county the attention
that is being given by the respective
Levy Courtmen, mainly because of the
fact that it would be a hard matter to
find three men in the county who are
as conversant with all of the districts
as the Levy Courtman is with his dis
trict Time and attention could not
be given the many details that come
under the observation Of the Levy
Courtman, if there existed commits

useless so far as acquiring title to

Salisbury, of Delaware, today plead
ed with the Senate Commerce Com

to $2,100000. He said the canal could
be purchased by condemnation for

its purchase for the smaller sum al
lowed by the House. He pointed
out the advantages Of a ship canal
to connect the Delaware and Chesa-
