SOudan Grass In Sussex

George Hatfield of the George
town section, Sowed a quantity of
Soudan grass seed, obtained from
the Government and has succeed
ed in growing a large patch. The
grass has fine pencil-like stalk
growing upwards of - feet in
height with seed in a tassel on the
end. He grew some of the grass
for seed and has been feeding the
rest to cattle and horses who pre-
fer it to corn and oats as its stalks
are very succulent. He thinks the
grass will prove a fine forage crop
we'll suited to the light sandy soil

meal. In addition to the above
mentioned feeds, she received
daily lbs. of dried beet pulp and
1-2 lbs. Of molasses. Her bed
bing was shredded corn stover
and all of it went into the manure.
She carried calf during the last
six months of the years test and
was milking quite heavily at the
end.
The fact that the average COW Of
Delaware produces yearly only
5000 pounds of milk and about
13O pounds of butter-fat, makes
the record of this COW especially
notable. 1t shows that it pays to
keep a high grade of stock, and
also that a profit like that of this
cow will easily justify a greater
outlay Of capital on breeding stock
than is usually made.

cow, Imp. Yenadizze's Flora 3634O,
produced in 365 consecutive days
1851 pounds of milk and 66S.23
pounds of butter-fat. Her product
was sold in the form of % per
cent cream for 20 cents per quart,
and the skim milk fed to young
stock. 1865 quarts of cream at
20 cents, and 10,731 pounds Of
skim milk at 25 cents per cwt., are
worth about S340; the manure was
worth about S25, and her calf was
sold for $500.
She received for roughage al
falfa hay and corn silage, and her
grain was taken from a mixture of
the following proportions: 200 lbs.
of bran, 200 lbs. of hominy, 125
lbs. of dried brewers grains, 100
lbs. of dried beet pulp, Is lbs. of
cotton seed meal, and so lbs. of oil

tearing down his old dwelling to
erect a new one, found small

in which was a barrel of peach
brandy, supposed to have been dis

contents had evaporated. Watson
and some friends sampled the
brandy and voted it the finest they

Fire Prevention Discussed

On Thursday morning, Septem-
Der %. Mr.. Gilbert E. Stecher, sur
veyors for the Home Insurance
Company of New York, addressed
the student body of the Women's
College on Fire Prevention in the
Home" Mr.. Stecher gave care
full survey of the heating and
lighting systems common to our
houses, with special relations to
the fire risk involved, and the best
methods of prevention. He then
discussed a typical house, room by
room, pointing out possible defects
in construction which would inev-
itably lead to fire loss, and sug-
gesting means of avoiding these
unnecessary danger spots. Mr..
Stecher's main emphasis was
placed on the fact that careful
foresight and presence of mind are
the best fire preventions known.
His talk was practical as we'll as
interesting.
