Turkey Buzzard
Friend Of Man

The United States comes to the
rescue of the buzzard, the big
soaring, quiet-sailing bird
which some men call the turkey
buzzard" and other men, just as
sure of the rectitude of their or
astrological English, call the ''tur-
key vulture." The fact that the
national government announces
itself a friend of the buzzard may
be taken by many Americans to in
dicate that cordial relations exist
between the eagle and the buzzard,
but if man draws this inference
he does it at his own risk.
The buzzard, though one OF the
loftiest and easiest flyers among
the birds, is not esteemed as one
of the most beautiful when viewed
at close range. He is one of
those numerous creatures 70 whom
distance lends enchantment. Then,
too. he has personal habits and

FARMERS URGED TO
EXERCISE PRECAUTION
Season When Hog Cholera
Threatens

This is the season of the year
when hog cholera is prevalent, and
while there is no epidemic of the
disease in New Castle county, our
farmers cannot be too careful in
the exercise of every precaution
to ward off the scourge.
1t is requested that all dead
hogs be buried at least three feet
and covered with quicklime. By
doing so you will be helping your
neighbor out of his troubles.
There is a fine of not less than $40
for any person not burying hogs
that die of cholera. Aside from
the danger of infection through
the hogs themselves it must be re-
membered that the germs of this
disease may be transported in
particles of dirt on the feet of
parties who have been on farms
where cholera exists. 1t may also
be carried by dogs, crows, buz-
yards, and by streams from lands
which are affected above. 1t is,
therefore well not to place hogs so
they will have access to streams
which pass through other farms.
1t has been discovered that well
hogs may be treated with hog
may be treated with hog cholera
serum so that they will not take
the disease if exposed later. Such
treatment is called immunization.
This method of treatment has
passed the experimental stage and
is now on practical working
basis. The Agriculture Station at
! College Park, will furnish serum
at cost. The cost usually runs
about Is cents for half grown hogs
! The cost seems high, but it is Sc
curing insurance at figure which
is far lower than the losses which
occur when cholera visits a herd
The county demonstrator has been
teaching many farmers how to in,
oculate hogs with serum. Are you
going to be taught?
After cholera has been on youl
farm do not put the hogs in the
same pens before they have beer
cared for.
As soon as the last victim OF
cholera has either died or recover
ed burn all the bedding that has
been contaminated with the dis
charges from the sick animals.
2 Spray the pens, inside anc
out with strong disinfectant so
luton, using force pump.
3 Apply a coat of whitewash
containing per cent of carboli,
acid to the walls of hog houses
pens and fences.
4 Sprinkle the floors of the pen
and yards with Stacked lime.
) Scald frequently with boiling
water all buckets and trough
used in feeding the hogs.
Let us all work together an,
drive the hog cholera from tn
county and bank money from ou
hogs this fall and winter instea
of burying them now.

tastes of appetite which do not
commend him to delicate and sem
sitive men or to persons of esthetic
tendencies. 1t has been acknow-
lodged that in certain ways the
buzzard is useful bird, and it
might be reasonable to class him
as more useful than ornamental.
Those men who have a more or
less intimate knowledge of the buz-
zard know that in his selection Of
food he is careless, or at least that
he does not exercise the nice dis
elimination which many persons
do. He seems to be ignorant or in
different about germs and pto-
maines. Perhaps this Indifference
is justified, because so far as the
medical records show no buzzard
has fallen a victim to ptomaine
poisoning. But there is no ac-
counting for tastes, and as the
buZzard likes what he likes it is
his own particular business, and
| perhaps no man has a legitimate
right to interfere.
The usefulness of the buzzard
has been set forth recently by the
biological survey of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture. By his work
as collector of garbage and other
refuse which is not ordinarily
classed as garbage he contributes
to the health of the communities
which he honors with his presence
He is a scavenger bird, and he
plies his trade only in those com
munities which are sadly in neec
of scavengers. If everything were
kept clean in a community ther,
would be no buzzard or flies il
that place, and as the buzzarC
helps to keep down and to pu
down the output of garbage and 81
forth, he thus diminishes the out
put of flies. Any work which tn
buzzard does discourages flies t.
Just that extent
The biological survey in Wash
ingtOn came to the assistance o
the buzzard when he was sorely i
need of friends, He was accuse
Newark post., 1915-09-15

IN some states of being party to
the dissemination of hog cholera
foot and mouth disease and other
maladies of live stock. The charge
has been made against the buzzard
without giving him a chance to de-
fend himself. 1t is quite possible
that not a single buzzard was ever
made acquainted with the charge
laid against him. In a number of
states especially in the south, it
his been proposed in the legisla-
Newark post., 1915-09-15

lures to denounce the buzzard as
a pest and exterminate him. Per-
haps some legislatures have al
reay taken such action, but if they
have they will probably repent
their rash and unworthy precipi-
tateness.
In a good many parts of the
South the buzzard should be re-
warded instead of punished. He
is really the peoples friend.

FINDS JOHN WEsLEY's DIARY
Shorthand Notes, II 10 Learned, Cover
the Ten Years Of the Great
Methodlst's Life.

In the old strong room in City Road,
London, England, where the Wesleyan
Methodist book room keeps the ar.
chieves of nearly two centuries Of
Methodism, the Rev. Nehemiah Cur.
mock, editor of the new official edi-
ton Of John Wesley's Journals, has
made a surprising discovery OF Yves.
ley manuscripts. The chief of these
Is diary in shorthand covering the
greater part Of the last ten years OF
Wesley's life.
This dairy has been hidden In the
last pages Of little book known as
"Wesley's Last Account Book" and
until Mr.. Curnock re-examined It nc
one suspected that the hieroglyphics
at the end were priceless notes writ
ten by Wesley himself in his old age
Mr.. Curnock is the discoverer of the
key to the cipher in which John Yves
ley wrote his early journals.
This last account book, which Yves
ley closed on July 16, 1890, also con
tains the shorthand diary from 17S.
to 1870 which has now been discov
cred. The book shows in minute de
tail how the old man, almost to thu
very last, kept his accounts exactly,
ending the record with the Otter
quoted sentence, written with a trem
ulous hand, Il will not attempt i
any longer, being satisfied with tn,
continual conviction that l save all
can, and give as I can, that is. all

Insect Pests
Cause Low
Price of Fruit

That low prices received for citrus
fruit is very largely the result OF
blemishes caused by the activity OF
various insect pests and that grow
ers should be urged to learn meth
DDS of eradication and apply them,
in order to improve market condi-
lions, was the opinion of members
of the Directors of the Florida Cit
rus Exchange, which, at its meeting
here this week, passed the following
resolutions:
Whereas, the external blemishes
caused by insect pests and mites are
argely responsible for the undue
proportion of second and third Grade
fruit in this State and which can
be easily controlled, thereby raising
the percentage of first grade fruit:
Whereas, it is evident that in
sect pests and mites cause much
damage to the trees and thereby pre-
vent them from bearing their full
capacity, which increases the cost of
production;
"Whereas, the price obtained for
citrus fruits necessitates the low
ering of the cost of production,
which can be done by killing the in
sects;
Whereas, methods for the control
of insect pests and mites have been
largely developed by the Bureau OF
Entomology, Orlando, Florida;
Resolved, that it is the sentiment
of the Directors of the Florida Cit
rus EXCHANGE to recommend these
methods to the citrus growers o.
this State; be it further
Resolved, that copy OF thes'
resolutions be given to the Floridi
Grower and the State Press. g.

A SPIRITED DRIVER
Locomotive Engineer Who Con-
sidered and Loved an Engine
as a Living Thing.
ev WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.

BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.
Doc Newton was out of job. and
that situation was becoming chronic.
Never q brighter, brisker, more &C
commodating fellow than he, with
friends everywhere; but the railroad
company did not seem to want MIN.
and the young fellow began to wonder
II there was q black list, and why
he had become its victim.
The roundhouse foreman could have
explained the situation, but he
thought toosmuch Of Doc to hurt his
feelings. The boys on the dog watch
could have enlightened him, but they
priced his compsAy, and sincerely
hoped that things might take a turn
for the better.
The truth Of it was, that Doc got
wild" every time he touched loco
motive throttle-just as men go music
mad when they hear the sextette from
Lucia" To him an engine was q
living thing, q vital steam horse thai
loved to show its PAGES; and never
was there a more spirited driver thar

Once he had run No. "a on the
wrong track where the depot girder'
came low, and knocked OF the smoke
stack. Later he had dumped loco

pit. Finally, he had disregarded
