Delaware Guardsmen Break Camp

Delaware's two battalions of infantry
are on their way to Deming, New
Mexico, and a great shout went up
from officers and men as their two trains
pulled out of New Castle Tuesday
afternoon, so glad were they to escape
the monotony of the State mobilization
camp, where they have spent more
than four weeks. The state rife range
was swept by drenching rain through
out the morning, but the men did not
seem to mind it, so eager were they to
get away. The first section of the
special train left New Castle at 2.3O
o'clock, carrying Major J. Warner
Reed, the commander officer, his staff
and the four Wilmington companies
comprising the first battalion.
The second section left two hours
later with Major William Lank in
charge and carrying the second batta-
lion composed of companies from New
Castle, Newark, Dover, (including
Smyrna), and Milford.

PROTECT COWS FROM FLIES

l. AS all flies breed in filth, allow as
little as possible to accumulate around
the stable.
2. Remove manure daily to the field
or an enclosed pit, not less than every
two or three days, thus preventing the
full development of the larva.
8. Keep the stable dark during the
daytime and the windows screened.
4 The use of the commercial or hand
made fly trap will help lessen the num-
Der of flies.
5. A successful fly poison is made as
follows: prepare a mixture of skim milk
and formalin in the proportion of 10 to l.
Fill several small tin pans, six or eight
inches in diameter, two inches deep
with the mixture and place same in
portions of the barn where flies are
thickest. Caution. Keep this way from
cats, dogs, poultry, etc, as formalin is
poisonous.
6. Spray cows with some proprietary
fly repellent, or use one of the following
home made preparations.
South Dakota, 100 parts Fish Oil; so
parts Oil of Tar.
Fly Spray, part Crude Carbolic acid
or 8 parts Fish Oil; l part Kerosene.
See Farmers Bulletin No. $40 for
more complete details regarding the
stable fly and control, or write to Dairy
Extension Service, Delaware College,

and the record of the individual hen is
now almost equal that of 1914 up to the
same time, which was the largest ever
made in this country, and the record of
the individual hen this year may equal
that of last year which broke the
worlds record with 314 eggs in S65 days.

"IDEAL" FOUNTAIN PENS

Our readers like to hear about great
things, and so we will tell them in few
words the story of ''Pen Corner,
New York City, the home of the famous
Waterman Ideal Fountain Pen."
The people of all lands use the eva
terman Ideal," even the natives of far
off Burmah who require pen adapted
to writing from right to left. There
are branch stores selling the water
man Ideal' in Boston, Chicago, San
Francisco, Montreal, London, Paris,
Milan, Dresden, Vienna, Brussels, Zu-
rich, Barcelona, Sydney, N. S. W.,
Auckland, Budapest Capetown and
Buenos Aires.
At the home office on ''Pen Corner"
300 persons are employed in the mere
clerical end of the business. At gold
pen factory, No. l, Fletcher street,
New York City, $50 employees are at
work on $4,000 square feet of floor
space and at Seymour, Conn rubber
factory. No. 2, 300 employees occupy
$4,000 square feet of floor room and
today it is safe to say that over 1000
persons are engaged in this huge busi-
ness.
The amount of gold used every year
for Waterman Ideals" would make a
cube 11.4 feet In size, weighing 1850
pounds, Troy. From 1884 to 1915,
10, 300 pounds of gold were used in max
ing Waterman Ideals" and $4,000
pounds of the finest Bolivia rubber con-
sumed in forming the Ideal" pen
holders.
Four Waterman Ideals are sold
every minute, while the annual output of
Waterman Ideal'' ink would float the
Mauretania I,5OO,OO 'Ideals" were
made and sold in 1914. These pens put
end to end would reach from New York
to Baltimore, and the whole output up
to 1915, would reach from New York to
Santa Fe, or from Quebec to HAVANA 4!
Besides its patent "spoon" that holds
the ink to the last drop, the water
man Ideal" is also self-filling. Mr..
Emlln Massey, our skilful jeweler, sells
the Waterman IdeaP', and he will
give you any style of pen or nib you
may fancy-indeed, he has only to ad-
dress the obliging manager, Mir. F. P.
Seymour, and even the customers ca
price will be satisfied.
The ancient Egyptians 1900 years ago
wrote with the calamus or reed, using
paper made from strips of the pith of
the biblus or papyrus plant, a sedge
native to Egypt. Several layers of this
pith were placed across each other and
compressed. Our word "Bible" comes
thru the Greek bibles from this old
Egyptian word, and our word "paper"
from the ancient Egyptian 'papyrus. "
The Greeks and Romans 1000 years
ago wrote with pointed iron rod or
stylus on wax tablets. The Chinese for
1900 years have used writing brushes
made from the bamboo reed. St. Isa-
dore of Seville, Spain, used the goose
quill about 800 years ago, and Samuel
Harrison used the first metal pen in
1850. Gold pens were first used in the
18th century, and the crowning per-
fection of the art of pen making, 1.-The
Waterman Ideal Fountain Pen', began
80 years ago its career of widening
usefulness.
