TESTING CATTLES HEALTH
THE WATSON HERD TESTED AND CERTI-
FLED AS PERFECT HEALTH.

The Government authorities are en-
gagged in making tests of cattle in this
part of Delaware, for tuberculosis.
Last week the herd of seventeen, own
ed by Frank d. Watson, three miles
east from Milford in Cedar Neck, Sus-
sex County, was tested at his request.
The official doing the work came and
performed his duty, and stated that
he would return in three days, after
the test hadopportunity to react and
show the results, and then appTtis
the cattle. Mr. Watson felt very anx-
iOus about the tests until the return
of the official. 1t was then found that
the entire seventeen head were free
and each animal was marked and GER
titled to that it was free from tuber-
culosis-much to the satisfaction of
Mr.. Watson The government pays
for each COW or animal found to be
infected-and pays more than the
same animal in a well state would
sell for at public sale.
This testing of the cattle is for the
interest of every person who buys and
eats butter as well as for the owner
of the cattle themselves. Any man
or set of men opposing the testing of
cattle under such conditions, is either
ignorant of the purposes for which
the test, and under what conditions
they are made. But there are men
who will make objections and theat-
en- what they will do, etc. should at
tempts be made to test cattle owned
by them. Such men are very common
citizens indeed, and would sell tu-
bercular milk to a baby for the sake
of the money paid them. Fortunately
they can be made to obey the laws.
We have creamery owned very
largely by the farmers themselves,
located in Milford, and it is to their
interests, as we'll as the farmer who
makes butter at his home, that
healthy cattle only be the source of
our milk and butter supply.
Let every person who buys milk
or butter, and we all do in the towns,
insist that the people who sell milk or
cream keep only healthy cows and in
a clean condition

WEATHER BRINGS DISCOMFORT

Last Saturday the first cold wealth
er came to this part of Delaware and
it caused much discomfort because of
the lack of coal. Only a small por-
tion of the homes and few of the bus
mess places had a supply of coal in
their bins and the supply of wood had
been deferred hoping to get coal. A
few of the homes got pea coal from
the Frederick Steamboat Company in
Frederick, which was hauled by
trucks to Milford. These were the
lucky ones.
Ice half-inch thick formed in bar
rels and horse troughs on Friday
night, and on Saturday night in some
places in horse throughs the ice for
med to thickness of one inch on Sun
| day morning. Lima beans-which had
/ been green and bearing fine beans up
to the 18th of November, were frozen
and blasted-even crysanthemums
flowers were killed. The thermometer
went down in some places as iUw as
I 26 degrees above zero.
There appears to be plenty of soft
coal, but the people are not accus-
toned to buring this in their homes,
so that the old fashioned wood stoves
are working overtime in this part of
Delaware.
The rain and hail of Monday last
was accompanied by cold penetrat-
ing wind which Made work out of
doors especially uncomfortable.
Work on the concrete road on the
State Highway between Milford and
the Tub Mill, two miles north of Mill
ford, has been pushed during most of
the week. 1t is expected that the
weather will come more favorable for
doing this work during the next few
days, so that road can be completed
as far as the Tub Mill. where it
leaves the main highway and starts
direct for the Frederica lane.

SERIES OF MISHAPs TO FARMER

On Saturday afternoon, on the farm
of Herbert NJ. Richardson, near Ris-
ing Sun, the house was totally de
stroyed by fire. The contents were
saved. This farm is one of the finest
in Kent county and is known as the
Ashcraft farm. Mr.. Richardson had
recently repaired and put in order
the house which was burned. The fire
was supposed to have originated from
the chimney. The Robbins Hose Co.
of Dover responded to a call for help
but could do little as the building was
practically gone when they arrived.
1t is singular coincidence that it
was Mr.. Richardson's truck with
which New Castle County Superin-
tendent Jumps automobile colIided on
Thursday night on the road near Do
YER In this accident all of the occu-
pants of the Jump car were hurt and
one death resulted. While it was re-
ported that the Richardson truck
showed no rear light, Traffic OGcer

kets largely to the foreign exchange situation. With American dollars commanding a premium throughout the world it is obviously good busi- ness for foreign butter manufactur- CTS to sell their product in the Uni ted States. Foreign manufacturers also have the advantage of low cargo rates. Another reason for the in- creased imports is that whereas England was formerly Denmark s principal butter outlet, England can now purchase butter more cheaply from Australia and Argentina. Ire land also is producing butter on a larger scale.
 The effect of the exchange situa- tion is also reflected in a decrease of American butter exports. Thus, 15,529,271 pounds of American hut ter were exported during the first seven months of 1920, whereas 22,- 986,294 pounds were sent out of the country during the corresponding period of 1919.
 Imports of butter from Denmark are being curtailed at presen. be- cause the prices asked by the holders of Danish butter in storage hele are higher than the wholesale prices for the American product, and some difficulty is being experienced in moving the Danish stocks.

Bull Associations

Are you one of those who think a bull association can not be formed in community like yours? asks the United States Department of Agri- culture. If SO, probably you are mistaken, for experience shows that bull associations are adaptable to nearly every kind of dairy commun- ity that can be found. The annual report of the Dairy Division shows that there are now about 120 bull associations in 30 different States of the Union, and among all classes of communities.
 The extension men of the Dairy Division find that in very many cases when the idea of a bull association h discussed, people think that, while such an organization is clearly 8 good thing on general principles, the conditions in their particular com munity are not suitable. Many times, in such places, it has been tried, and to the surprise of some it has been found that the conditions did not stand in the way at all. There are many such communities. They have men engaged in dairying they have scrub or other inferior bulls which should be replaced; and they have the need for better bulls.

Kill the Lady Killers

An exhibit of "lady killers," the kind found in too many homes, is being put on in different parts of the State of Washington by the Wash ington State College extension de- partment and the United States Department of Agriculture. The attendance wherever the exhibit has been held has been in the hundreds, both men and women finding much of interest.
 Among the 'al'dy killers" are found the washboard, the sad iron, the scrub brush, the water pail, the short-handled dustpan, the ax, and a number of implements with which many women are obliged to do their work.
 To offset the ''lady killers" was another exhibit of ways and means of Tightening work in the home. In this were included 'tkitchen jitneys''
