PREPARING AND USING
BORDEAUX MIXTURE

The solution which is used general
ly for spraying plants to prevent the
attack of diseases is that known AZ
Bordeaux mixture. This solution IL
made Of quick lime, copper sulphats
(bluestone) and water in the follow
ing proportions:
Copper sulphate (blueatone) "A lbs.
Quick Lime NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. a lbs.
water ..................5O 80 gals.
The copper sulphstc is dissolved IN
twenty-five gallons Of water in Il
wooden vessel Metallic vesso,s
should not be used an the solution
will be ruined by the action of the
copper sulphate on the metal. Usual
ly the copper sulphate is put In a
cloth sack and suspended in the wa
ter. II viii all go into solution in
about twe1ty-fcur hours.
The lime is slaked slowly in small
amount of water, and after it is COM
pletely slaked enough water is added
to make twenty-five gallons.
The copper sulphate and lime solu
tions will keep indefinitely If they
are kept separate. They, should not
be mixed until the day the spraying
is to be done.
The Bordeaux mixture is obtained
by mixing equal amounts Of the above
two solutions. These SHOULD be mix
ed in wooden tub or barrel. Tho
best mixture is obtained By pouring
the two solutions at the same time
into, 4 third vessel. The solutions
should he thoroughly stirred just be-,
fore mixing.
The Bordeaux mixture should be
thoroughly stirred Just before pour
ing into the spray pump. II should
also be strained TO get out any solid
particles that might clog the nozzle
The Bordeaux mixture should be
put upon the plants in the form of a
worry fine spray. In order 10 obtain
this spray. a regular spray pump
should be used.
Plants should be sprayed at inter
vals of week or ten days during
the periods that Infection is Liable
70 occur. Bordeaux mixture will not
cure plant that is already infected
with disease; it will oEly prevent
the infection.
Bordeaux mixiure will prevent such
diseases as occur upon the leaves oe
plants. Examples Of such diseases
are: cantaloupe mildcw, onion mil
dew, carly blight Of tomatoes. egT
plant leaf spot, rose leaf spot. etc. It
win not prevent diseases that attack
the plants through the soil, as for ey-
ample, tomato wilt. cotton wilt. let
tuce drop, pepper blight, etc.--C. w.

MILFORD PEOPLE COMPELLED
TO LIVE IN APARTMENTS

The demand for dwellings in Mil
ford has been far in excess of the sup
ply for the past three years and as a
result many families have occupied
apartments" or floors in the same
house This has been found profitable
for those owning residences of many
rooms and they have changed these
buildings so that from two to four
families are now living under one roof
The rents have advanced until one
floor, consisting of four rooms, with
light and water, now brings as much
as the whole house did four years ago.
This condition will not prevail long
as the family life is too much restrict
ed in this method of living and it costs
as much or more than it would to build
and own a small dwelling by getting
it through a building loan system. Ten
years rent paying will bring the rent
er his own home at the end of that
time, and he will not realize how or
where the money came from to pay it.

aware Code practically annihilated eX-
aminations for certificates and makes
going to school the basis of teaching
in schools. Promoting by examination,
he said, was too much like threshing
over and over old straw. In order to
obtain one of the other of the two
kinds of professional certificates now
provided, the first-grade elementary
certificate or the High School certi-
ficate, the candidate has simply to
submit the evidence that she has COM
pleted successfully the necessary
amount of schooling at a high school,
a college or a normal school, as the
case may be. Only second and third
class elementary certificates, which
are a makeshift to tide over the period
of readjustment and which will not
be granted after 1885, can be obtained
by examination, and even in the case
of these the candidate for examination
must present evidence of a minimum
of professional training.
Taking up the salary provisions of
the Code whereby it is expected to at
tract teachers of professional calibre,
DR.. Bachman pointed out that these
establish for the first time a direct
relation between a teachers salary
and his or her teaching experience
and professional training, such as ex-
lists in the other professions; and also
that under the Code the teacher with
is guaranteed the job, and
needs no longer to fear that someone
with an uncle or cousin on the school
board will preempt it.

ware has taken a vital step forward
under the provision Of Mr.. dupont for
sixty scholarships and a College of
at Delaware College, which
will make it possible to train Della
ware teachers in Delaware. "Unless
Delaware trains its own teachers"
said DR.. Bachman, progress will be
impossible, and the home-trained
teacher should be preferred, provided
the training is adequate"

RAILROAD KILLS TWO

Two persons were killed and one
injured just before noon Tuesday at
the railroad crossing in front of the
home of Colonel James ]. Ross, one
mile above Seaford. Edgar Wiley,
white, and George Cannon, colored,
were killed at once by a train, and
Albert Houston, colored, was injured
DuI is expected 10 recover.
The men were in the employ of
Colonel Ross and had loaded big
cantaloupe tank used for washing the
melons and were taking it to a field
to wash some melons that had been
picked. They were compelled to cross
the railroad track in front of the
Ross home. There was a storm at the
time and two freight cars standing on
the track near the crossing partly hid
the southbound passenger train due
there at lily, from their view
When the truck was midway of the
tracks it was hit by the train and
demolished.
Edgar Wiley leaves a widow and
four children-Mrs. Anna Lyons of
Milford, George, Hazel and Clarence,
all of Seaford. He had been employed
by Ross and Son for fifteen years and
was a valuable worker. The colored
men were greatly respected.

SWEETS" Sl8 A BARREL
WHITES SHIPPED FROM PARKSLEY BY
THE MILE OF FREIGHT CARS. N

Reports from the lower part OF the
Delmarvia Peninsula indicate fancy
prices for Virginia potatoes.
With first offerings for sweet pota-
toes reported between SIT and SIS
barrel. prospects for fancy prices for
the crop appear to be in sight.
So far the Virginia crop is still in
the ground untouched. Oherlngs have
been made by few buyers for crops
in the ground.
The bulk of the crop will probably
be sold through the exchange as usual
The crop is large and the prices are
expected to drop when harvesting gets
fairly under way but many growers
expect not less than $40 barrel for
sweet potatoes.
Whites, or round potatoes, have
been practically all harvested. The
heavy rains which took place here
from July Is to 25 wet the ground so
badly that farmers with any quantity
of potatoes left in the ground were
compelled to gather them tc prevent
rotting. 1t is considered fortunate
that there was very little rot and con-
sequently only slight damage to the
white potato crop.
whites" are now being shipped out
literally in miles. On several days last
week trains making up at Bloxom,
held up freight traffic as far down the
line as Parksley with practically a
complete line of freight cars loaded
with white potatoes.
Harvesting of the sweet potato crop
will not commence before August Is,

fox trots that the dancers refused to

dashed high until nearly two o'clock,

HORSES DYING OF DISEASE

Horses by the score are dying in the
section along the Delaware river and
bay between Odessa and Dover, and
extending several miles inland, and
veterinarians are puzzled because Of
the deadly ailment.
The malady spread among horses
after the recent rainy spell and has
spread with alarming rapidity. Dr.. w.
T. Ryan, a veterinarian of Smyrna,
has been called to numerous farms to
treat stricken horses, and at least 100
of them were in such condition when
he was summoned that they could not
be saved Dr. Ryan at first thought
the malady might be forage poisoning,
due to the rain causing the food for
horses to become moldy or otherwise
tainted, but there are symptoms that
do not appear in forage poisoning
cases. DR.. Ryan also says that the
malady differs from meningitis and
anthrax.
Dr. Ryan this week took samples of
blood of some of the dead horses to
the University of Pennsylvania for
analysis to determine the cause Of
death.
