Fire, believed to have originated
from an oyerheated stove, caused the
destruction of two dwellings at Mills
bor0 on Friday, and because of the
high wind raging at the time threat
ened destruction of the entire town.
The buildings burned were those OF
Joseph DOnOway and Mrs. Ella Dixon.
The loss sustained by DOnoway will
probably reach $500, while that of Mrs.
Dixon will aggregate S1,50O. Most OF
the household goods of the latter were
destroyed. there being no insurance on
the building or furnishings. Soon after
the blaze started in the Dixon home
emergency calls were sent to Lewes
and Georgetown for assistance and
many people from all parts of eastern
Sussex responded to the call for help.
With the wind blowing almost a hurri-
cane, the sparks were carried to dif-
ferent parts OF the town and it became
necessary to station men in different
sections to watch the dwellings. Sew
eral buildings became ignited from the
sparks but were extinguished by those
on watch who had buckets of water
in readiness. All of the visitors did
heroic work and responded readily to
all calls made upon them.

USE FOR THE OLD MATERIAL
Secondhand Lumber and Other Build
ing Necessaries Can Be Picked
Up for Little Money.

One of the most interesting and prof
liable ways in which one who contem-
plates building a house and wants to
economic in doing it can spend an
hour or more is in one of the estab-
lishments devoted to the buying and
selling of secondhand building mate
rails.
There is one which is particularly in
viting to ''prowlers." It faces on two
streets in an Out-Of-the-way part of
the city and consists of number Of
old buildings with yards between, in
which there is an overflow of old
statues, columns of porches, metal
spouting, garden seats and other

thing here that could be incorporated
in a new-old house, but inside the
buildings there is a greater wealth to
choose from. Here one may find hard
wood floors, as good as new. taken
rom houses that have been torn down
to make way for larger and more mod
ern structures. Here are beautifully
carved mantels of marble and wood,
some of them having cost hundreds of
dollars, which can be purchased as
cheaply as commonplace one that was
turned out from the factory yesterday.
There are doors and castings of beauti-
full wood, boOkshelves with glass doors,
ceilings, cabinets of all kinds, side
boards, windows, bath tubs and all
bathroom fittings; sinks, tubs and all
the paraphernalias for the kitchen. 1t
is hard to think of anything that is
needed in the construction of house
that is not here or of anything that Is
here which would not fit in some kind
of house.

PLANNING FOR SPRING WORK
WintrY Days Aid in Mapping Out
Landscaping to Be Done Very
Early in the Season.

The dreary days of winter cause
many. to reflect on how much more
beautiful they could have made their
grounds the past summer, and already
plans are being laid for landscaping
the coming spring.
All landscape gardening should ex-
press some thought or feeling and a
deep study of the site and surround
ings should reveal upon what specific
foundation the theme should be built
If for home place Cor q man well

1t should have an" air of quietness, Sc
clusiOn and retirement. This cOncep-
ton would be most easily realized on
a country place of some acres and
would more closely conform to nature
than any other type. Fortunately this
would wreak few changes in the ma
tural aspect and would closely ap-
prOach the ideal in landscape or ma
tural gardening as distinguished from
other and more formal or picturesque
styles.
Landscapes may also b. bold or gay,
or even f1Orid-perhaps furid, says
landscape gardeners; but when they
get to be too bizarre it passes out of
the realm of landscape gardening,
Which is to either build close to nature
or merely assist nature in touching up

factory effects in the existing wildness.
When the process is finished it should

The true test is: Will the artist come
to paint or to photograph? For, insofar
as you attract or repel him, just to
that degree have you succeeded or
failed. Harmony must also be the
keynote, a picture is not composed of
a collection of interesting objects or
features except these are in harmony.
Neither will change in topography or

CAREFUL ESTIMATE OF FEED
If Bran and Shorts Are Used Freely
in Dry Mash They Will Take
Place Of Grains.

One is compelled these days to make
pretty careful estimates in regard, to
kinds of feed for chickens. It seems
that bran and shorts are cheap as any.
thing on the market. If these are used
freely in a dry mash with cornmeal
making the shorts the predominant
part, the mixture will largely take the
place of cracked grains. It can be fed
in self-feeders. It is a good mixture
for growing chicks whether or not
cracked grains are used, and can prof
ftably be kept before them all the
time.

BOILED OATS FOR CHICKENS
Favorable Results Obtained by Penn
syIvania Department of Agri-
cuIture-Feed Warm.

Poultry experts in the Pennsylvania
department of agriculture report favor
able results from feeding boiled oats,
and state they are the cheapest poultry
food now obtainable. Boiled oats have
largely, too, superseded the sprouted
oats so much exploited a few years
ago, as they are better, safer and less
fuSSy.
To prepare, soak good, heavy oats
IL hours or more Tin hot weather or a
warm room a fresh lot should be
soaked daily, dissolve one tablespoon
full of salt in each bucket of water
used for this, boil two or three hours
and so gauge the amount of water
used for soaking that at the finish the
water is boiled away. Feed warm but
not hot. White LeghOrn pullets can
have these boiled oats twice daily, say
at 10 a. m. and 4 p. M, and all they
will eat up clean. For old hens or
heavyweight pullets, one feed day
is enough and not too much at that,
lest they become too fat on this much
liked feed.

All of the sirups are good on them,

flavor. They can all be used in cook

out any sugar. Brown Betty is good

bread, then layer of apples, moisten

SHOULD RETAIN BEST FOWLS
Patriotic Farmers Who Desire to Do
Their Bit Will Find 1t Wise to
Keep Best Layers.

Among farmers generally it is the
common practice to sell hens over a
year old for poultry when they stop
laying in the fall. Under the usual con-
ditiOns this is good policy, for as a
rule only about half the flock lay wen
enough the second year to be profit
able, and the farmer who has pullets
enough to replace all his old hens sees
no advantage in keeping any of them
over.

Use Poncorn-Three wavs.


There is one good American food Of
which we have an abundance and we
can use as much of it as we like
corn. Use all kinds and in many ways.
Popcorn is one of the kinds every one
likes. It is a good food just simply
popped, and can also be made into such
a wholesome, inexpensive sweet that it
should be widely used. Here is the
way to pop it and several ways to use
it:
Shell the corn if it is on the cob
and pop the dried corn IN a covered
iron frying-pan or a regular pepper,
shaking vigorously. If wire pepper
is used, do not pop the corn directly
over the fame or it will scOrch. Shake
it quite high over the flames, or better
over Goals or on the top of the stove.
Take just enough corn to cover the
bottom of the pepper. A cupful of pop
corn makes about three quarts when
popped.
Popcorn is good, of course, seasoned
with salt. A common way Of serving
is to mix with very little melted but
ter and then sprinkle with salt. But
have you ever tried it as breakfast
food eaten with milk or cream? 1t
makes a good cereal.
To make a sweet of popcorn boil to-
gether one cupful of corn strip and one
tablespoonful of vinegar until few
drops harden in water and pour it over
the freshly popped corn while it is hot.
AS soon as it is cool enough to handle,
grease the hands and form into balls.
This amount of strip covers three
quarts of popcorn.
Chocolate popcorn is delicious. Cook
one cupful Of corn strip for five min
utes. Add two ounces of chocolate 1.-TWO
squares), and stir until melted. Cook
slowly until a soft ball is formed in
water. Beat until thick. Have the
popped corn in a creased dish. Pour
the strip over it and form into balls
when cool enough to handle. This
amount covers ~ quarts of popcorn.
Farmers Bulletin 553 tells how to
grow popcorn. Why not have a few
rows Of popcorn in your garden next
spring?
Those who can't fight must do the
next best thing they can:

KEEPING MALES IN SAME PEN
Not Wise Plan to Permit Two Roos-
tiers With Hens-Use Them on
Alternate Days.

1t is not best to allow two males In
the same pen together. If it becomes
necessary to keep more than one in
the same pen, only one should be al
lowed with the hens the same day.
It is a good plan to let one run with
the hens and the other one the next
day. The male should be kept In
pen by himself when he Is not with
the hens.
