mails Could Be Kept.

Sheep are not very generally kept
on farms for supplying the home fam
lily with meat. There are many areas,
especially in hilly or mountainous re-
giOns. where nearly every farm could
keep few mutton sheep to advan-
tage, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Boys and girls
clubs in some parts of the country
have done much to foster home pro
duction of mutton.
Sheep naturally Craze over rather
wide areas and seek variety of
plants. This habit particularly adapts
them to being kept in large numbers
on lands of sparse vegetation or fur
nishing a variety of grasses or other
plants. They do better on short and
fine grasses than on coarse or high
feed. They will eat good deal of

4 FINE BIKE AND Afro sT0RE

N Mlddletown has the honor Of number
ing among its business men the only
mechanic in the state who thoroughly
understands and can repair that prince
of bicycles. the columbia Chainless. :"
the bike that never wears out now
made by the Westfield Manufacturing
Company. My Columbia Chainless is in
its Esd year and still is almost as good
as it ever was. If there is any disease or
any injury that common bike surgeons
cannot cure, take the patient to Dr.
Howell, and he will at once correctly
diagnose the trouble and apply the
remedy, and if it be some i'll or injury
out of the ordinary for which the usual
remedies will not answer, he is ingeni-
Gus enough to find or invent new one
that just suits the case.
But Mr.. Howell is not only an expert
n all things relative to the bicycle, but
he is also adding auto lore to his other
requirements. He is also keeping step
with the creditable improvement march
some of our business men are making,
by charging and rebuilding his bicycle
and automobile emporium on Main
street. In the interior work done by
himself he has disclosed the possession
Of geed mechanical ideas in other trades
than his own, for he has not only neatly
painted his store inside, but has also
built therein drawers, racks and shelv-
ing that would do credit to any carpen-
ter. These shelves, racks and pigeon
holes are loaded with everything in the
auto and bicycle line that anyone may
need, from wheels of the best makes,
such as Columbias with or without
chains, Newports, etc., to every part
thereof for repairs such as rims. sad
dies, pedals, spokes and first-class tires
of such superior makes as the Penn.
Rubber Co., Goodrich and others, be-
sides auto tires and inner tubes of these
companies. the Ajax. Michelin, etc,
tier on tier clear to the ceiling.
Mr.. Howell also sells all sorts OF bike
and auto supplies, Mobiloil oil, tire and
rim cements in rubber, ETC., cup
greases besides flashlights, dry cells and
storage batteries like the big Columbia
"Hot Shot," electric bulbs, lacquers
and varnishes, like the Valspar on
which when dry you can pour boiling
hot water and not injure it.
In addition to all these things MI.
Howell has long ago earned a high
| reputation as very skilful carriage re-
| pairer, rubber firing them AMI refur-
nishing tops, cushions, etc: His work
in this respect is so especially expert
| that customers come to him for both
auto and carriage top repairs from
Dover to Wilmington and from 30 miles
across the Maryland line. His business
already large in all these lines, extends
| for miles in all directions around Mid
dIetown. His large bay windows, filled
with display goods, and brilliantly
lighted up, make fine appearance. He
is one of our advertisers who has dis
covered the fructifying power of The
transcripts printers ink. If, then,
anyone wants square deal, fair play
mingled with courtesy, we bid bin, in
the jocose words that meet the eye on
his sales statements, ''Go to-Howell J"

To Change Time Of Meeting

A movement has been started by
horticulturists of Delaware and Mary
land to have the time Of the annual
meeting the Peninsular Horticultural
Society. always the second or third
week in January, changed to the latter
part of November. The main reason
given for the change is that greater
and better display of fruits and vege-
tables can be shown and to better ad-
vantage in November than in January.
AS all fruit and vegetables have to be
kept in cold storage it has been proven
that the January display is not at all
satisfactory. Besides, it is pointed out
in the shipments of fruits last January
many were frozen and quite a number
were lost altogether.
A meeting Of the executive committee
of the society will be called at an early
date when the proposition will be con-
sidered.
