mitted the sale of liquor in bottles
to be carried off the premises, has
been wiped OFF the books. and now it
will be illegal to take from any sal
oon any liquor in bottles. or beer in
either bottle or kettles; the drinkel

which he has drunk. and this will
stop the giving Of liquor to habtual
drunkards who are barred from buy
ing themselves, and the giving of bot
tied liquor to boys by unprincipalled
men who have bought it for them
under the old bottle laws. Then the
question of the sale of liquor has
again been submitted to New Castle
County and the City OF Wilmington
to be voted upon at a special election.

appointed election officers next No

Problems of Poultry Diet Require Goo
Judgment and Keen Observation.
| Prepared by Missouri station.I
A hen laying 2OO eggs in Il year /.
not at all unusual A four pound her
laying this number will produce siS
times her weight i'm eggs. To do this
she will require from seventy to eighty
pounds of feed. For economical pro
duction it is necessary-first, that the
food be properly selected; second thai
it be fed IN correct proportion and in a
judiciOus manner in order that her Iii
gestive organs may be kept in good
condition. and, third that she he fed
enough so that she has plenty of sur
plus for egg production.
The problems of poultry feeding re
quire g6bI Judgment and keen Observa-
tion. Hens fed for egg production
should have foods high in the food ele-
ments which are found in eggs Those
fed in the fattening pens should have
the foods which most economically pro
duce fat The lest ration. then, is the
one which supplies most economically
the food requirements of the bird for
the purpose for which It is kept
It Should lie remembered that one Of
the principles Of poultry feeding is
that the hen cannot do well if fed on
a whole grain ration. Not only does
a ration OF grain fail to furnish the
proper food nutrients. but such ra-
ton Is difficult for the bird to digest
properly. The great fault with the
farmer IN his poultry feeding is that
he attempts TO feed whole grain ra-
tlon and generally only one grain at
that Such ration results in poor
egg production and also causes diges-
tive disorders and liver and kidney
troubles. Complaints Of this kind fre
quently come to the department of
poultry husbandry, and suggested
change in the ration has usually re-
suited in the elimination OF the trou-
bic. Efficient digestion demands a com.
bination Of whole and ground grains
A ration should consist of grains and
grOund feeds. Generally speaking,
twice as much grain should be con
sumed as ground feed. This depends.
Of course. upon the nature of the foods
fed.
A good ration for egg production can
be made with combination Of grains
and ground feeds. For grains equal
parts by weight of wheat and corn.
or in the winter time twice as much
corn as wheat, may be used. For
ground feed a mixture OF equal parts
Of bran, shorts and cornmeal may be
used. Efficient egg production re-
quires also that this ration be sup
plemented with either sour milk-all
that the birds win drink-or, in case
sour milk is not available, commercial
beef scraps One-fourth Of the ground
feed should consist Of beef scrap in
case this is used.

PRESIDENT WILSON has called
the United States Congress to assem-
BILE at Washington on the second day
of April. 1917. to consider matters OF
national policy. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that tile trouble between the
United States and Germany has
reached a point when forbearance
ceases to be virtue, and within a
few hours after the President deliv-
ers his message to Congress, a de-
claration of war will be made and
proclaimed to the world 1t is the
duty of each and every citizen to 10y
ally support the President and rally
to the flag of our nation There must
not be any pickering over opinions,
or policies; but loyal support of the
administration. Delaware has al
ways done her full duly in public de-
fense, and the men of Delaware will
prove to her and deliver an earnest
response for the call of troops to
serve in any capacity Fortunately
precautionary legislation which will
permit quick action on the part of
Governor Townsend, has already been
secured, which will save valuable
time.

THE PEOPLE of Delaware have
reason to congratulate the present
General Assembly for its accom-
plishments in the way of construct
i've legislation Probably there has
not been a similar legislative session
OF Delaware legislature for the past
fifty years which has placed upon
the law books of this state so many
acts which will bring progressive
measures within the reach of accom-
plishment through the operations Of
the bills which have become laws.
While all that was aimed to be at
tanned has not been accomplished.
yet il is realized that the laws Great
ed to bring more revenue into the
State Treasury through new chan
nels are workable and reasonable
while no objection can be made to
them on the ground of unfairness.
The purpose of taxing investments
seemed to meet strenuos opposition
from many sources. ana it was doubt
ed that such a bill could be written
into Delaware laws, and, against it
there was not a single vote cast in
either the House of Representatives
or the State Senate. A companion
law which taxes inheritance of prop
erty in Delaware met with the same
unanimous approval in it's enactment
and these two measures are expected
to produce revenue sufficient to al
most double the annual appropriation
TO the public schools, and supply am
pie means to enable the building of
State highways. The creation of
Highway Commission by another law
also marks the forward movement of
progress towards building real good
roads the length Of Delaware. This
department we have long advocated.
and we confidently believe that thru
a State Highway Commission only
can concrete or brick highways be
secured for Delaware on a permanent
basis and on plans Of engineering
which can be worked out without the
disturbance from county interference.
But this is not the only legislation
that has been accomplished which
win make history in Delaware. The
liquor iniquity has been curbed by
anh-shipping laws. which will create
better moral conditions in the entire
State, and help our neighboring state
Of Maryland to control the lawless
which have existed for two
years along the border lines between

SPARK CAUSES SLIGHT FIRE

The members of the Milford Fire
Company we're called out Tuesday af-
ternoon to answer an alarm of fire.
when slight fire was discovered in
the roof of a dwelling owned by John
Gunby, and located on Water street.
The blaze was extinguished by the
use of the chemical apparatus. It is
thought that the fire was possibly
caused by a spark from a nearby mill.
The damage was very slight.
