SPECIMENS OF BARLEY DISPLAYED.

Last Saturday. Mr.. Wolfe from near
Glendale, brought bundle of barley
which was grown upon his farm, to
this Office, and since then it has been
displayed at the Office of Geo. H. Hail.
in South Milford. The barley was
heading and about ready to bloom at
that time. He is very much pleased
with his experience in growing this
crop in Delaware. He sowed tiye
acres with barley on April 18th,
and as it stands he expects to cut it
for hay, and harvest over three tons OF
cured hay per acre from it. It grows
rapidly and makes a food that stock
eat with a relish The ground where
the barley was grown will be seeded
again to buckwheat and scarlet clover
and thus provide for two crops this
wear and also for next year again.

A REAL FAMILY DISPOSITION.

At the home of Mrs. Fred Short,
who resides near Lewes, on a rural
delivery mail route leading from that
Mace. one of the main sources OF in
come is from poultry raising and the
craving of turkeys Mrs Short wrote
nc tbe following letter on Wednesday
and vouches for the facts personally.
She states. that she has turkey COB
Ter which took up his watch about
tbe nest of one of her turkey hens
which was sitting upon a nest filled
with turkey eggs and eggs of a guinea
hen. Next to the nest was another
in which was a number of China nest
eggs. and or these he ~t9wed himself
and continued to sit as regularly as
did the turkey hen companion. Mrs.
Short removed the china eggs and re-
placed them with hen eggs, and he
has remained upon them steadily.
The period of incubation will end next
Monday for his nest full of eggs, and
Mrs. Short says: Il have been trying
to study the puzzle out, as to what re-
lation my turkey gObler will be to the
youngsters he hatches; whether to
call them chicks, or something else,
and whether he will be the father or
mother Of the brood. 1 am thinking
that it will be a slightly mixed rela-
tiOn all around, when the gobler and
turkey hen both hatch out their brood
Of young ones"
One thing is certain, that gobbler
will be Of a real family disposition,
and will be a good provider.

TRYING week FOR The
STATE MILITIA OFFICERS

Battalion staff and line officers of
the Organized Militia of Delaware,
who are in their annual camp of in
structiOn on the rife range below New
Castle this week, are having an unus-
ually rough experience because of the
weather conditions. When clear the
weather has been extremely hot and
when the sun has not been shining
the camp has been deluged with rain.
Wednesday afternoon the officers eX
perienced the worst storm of the week
the rain starting about $3.50 o'clock
and falling in torrents for nearly an
hour, converting the camp grounds
into a miniature swamp land, although
the natural drainange of the range
carried off the flood before it caused
any damage There was some wind
and considerable lightning, but no
damage was done about the tented
city
The days program was about con-
cluded when the storm started, ex-
cept the evening class in map man
euvers, which is held under canvas
and therefore it was not interrupted.
In the morning the officers had in
structions in sabre manual signals
and commands, followed by a field
demonstration in patrols, orders to
and inspection of patrols and conduct
of patrols on varied ground In the af-
ternoon there were instructions in ter
rain exercises, with special attention
being given to the defensive positions
and field intrenching.
Captain Cannon and Lieutenant
Ruddell of Milford are at the camp.
Next week the staff officers will be
encamped, and Col Townsend and
Major Lank of Milford VIII be at the
range.
