RUSH WORK FOR PURE HERDS
Start Drive to Eradicate tuberculosis
Among Cattle in Delaware

Start Drive to Eradicate tuberculosis |
Among Cattle in Delaware
An interesting bulletin has been |
issued by the State Board of Agri- !
culture on the eradication of tubercul- |
osis among cattle as follows. Tuber-
culosis eradication work is going with |
an ample State appropriation to take
care of it for the next two years.
During these two years it is expected
to clean up Kent and Sussex counties,
so as to make them "free areas"
with this purpose in view the tuber-
culin test will be Offered free of
charge to ever cattle owner in these
two counties. In New Castle county
the work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. The essential points in the
agreement under which this work is
done are as follows. The testing is
done by regularly employed State or
government veterinarians and there is
no charge for the service. The cattle
owner is required to furnish transport
alton between his farm and the station
for the veterinarian, and also meals
and lodging when necessary during
such times as the veterinarian is en-
gagged in, the performance of his
duties under the agreement. The en-
tire heard must be tested and retested
at such times as are concidered neces-
sary by the Bureau and State Board.
GAIL reacting animals must be re-
moved fro mthe herd and slaught-
cred as soon as possible, ordinarily
within ten days. If not within 80
days no indemnity is paid to the
owner of the cattle, provided that
arrangements may be made to keep
other animals and retained for a
limited time for breeding purposes.
The premises must be cleaned and dis
infected. Milk from reacting cows
cannot be used unless it is sterilized.
Only tested cattle can be added to the
herd. If INFESTED cattle are brought
to the premises they must be keep en-
added to the herd will be tested as soon
as possible, but no indemnity will be
paid the owner if they react on the
first test after being purchased. "No
which react to the test that have not
been in the State for at lest six month
'No cattle should be presented for the
tuberculin test which have been in
iected with tuberlin within sixty days
Immediately preceding or which have
at any time reacted to a tubercullr
test. All reacting cattle are to be
appraised Immediately after or within
a few days of the test. The veter
marian and the owner usually act a.
appraisers. In case they cannot agree
a disinterested person is called In t.
assist in the appraisal. The owner O.
, the reactors should sell them Tor tn'
highest price possible to butcher, O.
he may ship them to an abattolr
: where they may be inspected Tor
!, grade animal, and $50 for a pure-ore'
. animal, and the State pays one-hal
of this difference not to exceed $lzS
: for a grade animal and $3.50 Tor
nure-bred animal"

style features of importance in grown
up apparel. Just like mama's" APP

or of anything that little ladies from
four to eight have the privilege Of
choosing for themselves. In utility
coats there are such amusing little
affairs as the miniature shown above
where brown, rough surface cloth
is made up with machine stitching
for decoration on its wide, cape collar,
and roomy sleeves and a narrow belt
that crosses at the front and buttons
at each side. 1t is as much like
grown-ups' in these features as it can
be. ID
Similar coats with narrower collars
are shown#in sturdy wool materials
woven in youthful pattern, as black
and white checks, tan, or grey. with
small cross bars in green or red
navy and red---or other lively COM
hinatiOns. 1T is the material that is
featured in these and not the style
which is simply the straight coat
with plain sleeve and round collar.
They fasten with bone buttons.

EASTER WEEK GAMES.

Bunny Eyes" is an excellent game
for a party. A large rabbits head
with eyes spaced the same distance
apart as your own eyes, must be pre-
pared upon paper. Cut out the eye
openings, hang the head in a doorway,
and conceal the doorway around it
with cloth. The game consists in the
girls posing one at time behind the
rabbits head, with eyes directly in
back of the eye openings, while the
boys stand several feet in front of
the rabbits face and write upon paper
the names of the girls to whom they
think the eyes belong. When the girls
have posed, the boys exchange places
with them, and pose while the girls
guess.

also they follow the lead of grown
ups, for the display reveals many mod

A MEXICAN women have been edu-
4 y Gated in footwear up to a point
where they are more fastdious tkan
discriminating. They have long been
shod with the most graceful and ex-
quisitely finished of shoes and have
come to give more and more attention
to style and daintiness and somewhat
less to appropriateness. This sweep
ing assertion does not apply to all of
them, but holds good for a majority,
as one may prove by watching pedes-
trians in any city. The trend of de-
mand Is for less substantial and more
dainty footwear, and the new shoes
for this spring are answering this de-
mand A half-dozen pairs of the most
practical shoes found in the displays
are shown here, together with a reg
ulation pair of smart sport shoes such
as the real golfer insists upon own
ing. These are comfortable and sty-
lish with q chic of their own which
belongs to wel-made utility shoes of
all kinds. The discriminating woman

displaced the high shoe for the com
ing season and having gone long
way toward usurping it during the

Engineers find it takes two or three
times as much fuel as it should to heat
the ordinary dwelling.
That is because houses frequently
are not built to conserve heat. or for
any purpose but TO sell
The way to heat room economical
ly is to insulate it. Most persons
know that air space in walls conserves
heat. But this is true only if the walls
hold dead air. Most walls and ceilings
aren't tight enough. Hot air goes
through them like water through net
Banking up lower walls of houses
with dry leaves and earth still is
practiced in cold states. particularly
in the country. But most city and
town houses can be made tighter with
little effort. The insulation of walls
and ceilings can be improved, and
much coal saved.
It's worth considering in places
where fuel is scarce or costly. An
examination of many houses will show
that the occupants literally are trying
to "heat all outdoors
