Those were the days when farming
called for much physical effort, and
the boy had more than speaking &C
quaintance with genuine hard work.
1t was part of his duties to rise from
bed early to prepare the morning feed
for the i've stock and chickens.
Now the arrangement he employs
on his farm for feeding his stock is
but one of the many labor-saving
plans established there.
Chicken In Strawberry Field.
He has several great pens of White
Plymouth Rock chickens, for which he
is we'll known, and he has devised a
plan whereby the small chicks are fed
at low cost and the cost of labor of
picking bugs from his strawberry
plants is saved.
He turns hundreds of the small
chicks into the berry fields about bios
soming time and keeps them there
several days, where they eat the bugs
ard aphis which infest the plants. The
chicks thrive on the bugs and the
plants thrive on being rid of them.
In addition to raising chickens and
strawberries, Senate. Newton raises
fruit on a large scale, and is one of
the most successful fruit growers in
Delaware. His ground was all clear
ed with dynamite. and by careful
planting, high fertilization and sys-
tematic cultivation he has accom-
pished results that have astonished
other farmers in the vicinity.

CLOCK FEEDS CATTLE
By COUNTY AGENT MARSH

Unique methods of farming, where
by considerable hard physical work is
decreased, have been found to exist on
the estate of State Senator Oliver A.
Newton, one of the most prosperous
and best-known farmers in Delaware.
His 320-acre farm is situated near
Bridgeville.
That the long-ago days Of hard
work and early rising as boy have
never been forgotten by Senator New
ton is evinced by his methods he en-
p!oys in working his farm. No longer
does he rise before daybreak to feed
his live stock. Senator Newton has
use on his farm for several years,
whereby his live stock is fed and wat
cred by clockwork, thus permitting
him to enjoy few more minutes of
morning sleep while other farmers are
up and about caring for their animals.
Clock Runs The Place.
A clock in Mr.. Newton's bedroom
feeds his mules, horses and cattle at
exactly the same minute every day.
The feed is placed on shutters directly
over the feeding bins of each animal
the night previous, and at feeding
time, by a clockwork arrangement,
spring is released which in turn pulls
a wire that releases lever at the
barn and Immediately every shutter
drops and the animals can start in on
their morning meal.
In all the years this scheme has
been in operation it has never failed
to deliver a mea! on time, and. as Mr..
Newton says, it's Il very convenient
arrangement on Il cold winter morn
ing.
Senator Newton is now recognized
as an authority upon all agricultural
matters, has served for years as
member of the State Board of Agri-
culture, mad at the last session of the
Delaware Legislature he was chair
man of the Senate Committee on Agri-
culture.

TO FATHER
new TARIFF BILL

Philadelphia, Aug. limited States
Senator Boies Penrose, in a speech
at a dinner here, announced he would
introduce at the next session of con-
gress a tariff bill that will contain
reductions of 15 to 20 per cent on
many of the duties in the Payne-Ald-
rich bill.
For myself" said the senator, |
intend to introduce at the opening of
the next congress a tariff bill protec-
tive in its nature containing a hori-
zontal reduction of Is or 20 per cent
on many of the duties contained in
the Payne bill, but reinforcing some
of the schedules, like the chemical
schedule, to the extent that may be
necessary to secure these industries
in our country.
The bill will protect us from the
collapse which will occur on the close
of the war in Europe and will furnish
us money to prepare for the national
defense, should any nation of Europe
in arms desire to invade or assault
us"

Great Baltic Seaport Soon to

Berlin, Aug. THE greatest mill

is drawing rapidly TO close.
The Russians are everywhere in re-
armies threatened with destruction.
Occupation of the great Russian
Baltic seaport of Riga by a German
army is now only matter of a few
hours.
Ivangorod has been captured by the
Austrians. Novo Georgievsk, lying

by the Russian garrison, which is fall
ing back in confusion to escape cap
ture at the hands of the Bavarians,
who entered Warsaw.
Won Hindenburg on the north and
Won Mackensen on the south are
smashing away in simultaneous at
tacks against the Russian flanks
squeezing in the wings of the beaten
armies and threatening the capture OF
the whole army corps. The world has
never witnessed such a retreat.
In the north the Slays are fighting
with rare courage and desperation to
save the Warsaw-P -Petrograd railway

Between these two wings the Slavs
are falling back steadily, attempting
to wheel more than 100000 men in
to a straight front to block the Ger
man steam roller The greatest
strategist of the ages could not or
ganize such a gigantic retreat with
out sustaining heavy losses in guns
and men, in the opinion of military
men here.
Consequently the rout of the whole
Russian armies Is predicted in mill

EARLY AGREEMENT ON
MEXICO is EXPECTED

Washington, Aug. lit is the hope
OF the diplomatists taking part in the
Pan-American conferences on the Mex
ican situation that the next session
will result in a decision as TO the first
steps in the program to be executed
by the United States in an effort to
restore law and order in the Southern
republic.
1t was indicated, however, that such
a decision really will cover only the
preliminaries of the course to be fol
lowed in Mexico. There is no inten-
tion on the part of the. United States
or the representatives of the six
Latin-American governments to at
tempt to map out in advance all the
details of action TO be taken. Much
will be left to the development OF
events.
Officials here feel a distinct advance
has been made in getting the assent
of Latin-AmeriCans TO the American
suggestion that another appeal be
sent to the Mexican leaders to get to-
gether before il is too late Without
definitely submitting anything for the
approval or disapproval of the other
governments the United States has
brought them into the attitude of co
operation with this government in re-
gard to Mexico
