"P0OR SIRE IS ALL or HERD"
In Making Selection of Boar. consid-
err His Individuality, Ancestry,
and His Offspring.

Everyone who will need q boar
next winter knows 1t Just as wei Cow
as he will later on. Demonstration
Is the thief of time" SO why wait I'M
til everyone has picked out the best
and only the culls are lett?
Again you may make the mistake
of buying a young boar and start
using him without trying him out.
In selecting a herd boar, three
things should be considered, individu-
atty, ancestry and if an aged animal,
his offspring. In considering the individ-
uai, of course type, quality, bone, mas
culinity and size for age are the main
things to consider. The prospective
purchaser should always insist on see
ing the sire and dam, and as many of
the close relatives as possible. By so
doing, one gets a good idea OF what
he can expect from the boar when he
Is mated to suitable females. OF
course, the surest buy is to buy the
aged boar which has been tried, and
in considering him, one should always
insist on seeing as many of his Off
spring as possible. Here one has a
sure check Of what the boar will do.
1t has been said that, "a good sire
is half the herd, but a poor sire is all
Of it." No statement is more true

PUREBRED ANIMALS DO BEST
They Won't Stand Bare Pastures In
Summer and Empty Managers in
Winter-Feed Right.

A purebred animal represents a con
tinuity Of ideals and ideas of farmers
and breeders Of most breeds for long
periods of time. Find out what the
breeders of your choice breed want,
what they have worked for and what
their ideas are and then get into pace
with them. Purebreds do better than
scrubs when given necessary feed and
attention. They can look just as tough
and ~disgraceful as any scrubs If sub
mitted to bare pastures in summer aRd
an empty manger In the winter season.
Under such conditions, they pay no
bills nor taxes. But, give them a
chance to grow and develop and they
will pay well for their keep. If they
don't, they are not what they should
be or you aren't doing as you should.
II you are doubtful of the purebreds'
worth, try q well grown purebred sire
for your next crop Of lambs, pigs,
calves or colts.

FEEDING MINERALS TO HOGS
Farmers Believe II Assists Growth and
Development as Well as Pro-
noting Digestion.

It has been well said that nobody
has very much really practical scien-
tifc knowledge about feeding minerals
to hogs, but most farmers believe that
1t does assist growth and develop
ment, us well as promotes digestion, SO
there you are. Probably the best form
In which to feed 1t is in ordinary fine
ground raw bone. but some use rock
phosphate. claiming equally good re-
suits. A common mixture is salt,
copperas, glauber salts, sulphur and
charcoal mixed with ground bone, a
combination that is not highly scien-
tiHc, but probably satisfies the feeder
who feels that he must use something
Of the kind. The best method Of feed
ing this Is in combination with tankage
and In such amount that a 1OO-pound
pig may get half an ounce OF 1t In
q day.

FARM BUILDINGS NEED CARE
Good Paint VIII Lenothen Years Of
Frame Observation-Disclosures
Is Essential.

Farmers have for years wrestled
with and solved more or less salts
f%actorily the various feed problems
presented by their occupation. They
have had to deal with the question
of the balanced ration in hog feed,
dairy cow feed, horse feed, chicken
feed and even plant food.
And now appears on the farmers
horizon a scientist who tells him that
even his buildings must be nourished /;
that a house, barn, or outbuilding
that is kept painted with good paint
will last over a hundred years; where
as. an implanted one will fall to pieces
In ten years; that a neglected build
ing dies Just as surely as a horse or
COW that has nothing to cal.
The argument is logical from a
scientific standpoint. and 1t behooves
farmers to attend to the proper nour
ishment of their buildings. for we all
know nat tlA cost of rebuilding and
of repairs is almost prohibitIve now

SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION UP
State Board OF Education Considers
Problem and Makes Ruling

The State Board of Education at its
last meeting passed a resolution
authorizing the State Department of
Public instruction to handle the trans
portation problem this. year on the
same basis as last year, namely, to
take care of contract transportation
for the year and to pay for private
transportation as long as the funds
available permit, on the following
basis: Five cents per mile will be al
lowed for each child in the 9th grade
or blow, who lives more than 2 miles
from his school, OF, in the 7th grade
or above and who lives more than s
miles from the nearest school of prop
er grade. (Nearest school. means
school nearest to his home providing
his proper grade); provided, that for
two children in the same family, one
and one-half times the allowance will
be made; and provided, that for three
or more children in a family, twice the
allowance for a single child will be
made; and further provided, that not
more than forty cents per day shall
be allowed for any one pupil. Trans
portatiOn allowed only for the distance
in excess of two or three miles, as the
case may be. For example,: A child
above the 9th grade living five miles
from school should receive twenty
cents a day. Pupils desiring private
transportation must make application
therefor on forms provided by the
State Department. These forms can
be secured either from the teacher or
by direct application to j. o. Adams,
Business Manager, Dover, Del. The
bill for transportation must be render
ed monthly, not later than the 18th
day of the month following, giving the
number of days each>child is carried,
which bill must be certified to, as to
the number of days attended, by the
principal or teacher of the school the
child has attended. Bill forms may be
likewise secured from the teacher or
the State Department.

DELAWARE APPLE RECORD BIG
Over Million Baskets Moved BY Rail
Alcne Not Counting Truck

According to reports issued at the
office of Leon Stein, supervising agent
of the Delaware Division of the Penn
sylvania railroad, the produce shipped
over this branch this year is far in
advance of the amount sent over the
road this time last year, and, in fact,
is probably more than has ever been
shipped via the Delaware Division.
And this is not counting the thousands
of baskets that have been shipped out
of the State by boats and auto trucks.
The total number of baskets of apples
shipped by rail to date, 1888, ,957, and
at the same time last year only IT,
TAI were reported. The heavy peach
crop this year is also evidenced by the
large increase in the total shipments
compared with that of last year. Ac-
cording to the report 316,110 baskets
of peaches were shipped by rail to
date, compared with last years ship
ment for the same date of 66S baskets.
There were few peaches shipped last
year owing to the freeze killing all
the buds. Thousands of baskets were
shipped out of the State by boat and
truck this year. Pears shipped to
dsse totaled II, ,446 baskets, while at
this time last year no pears had been
shipped. There was a weekly ship
ment this year of 1876 baskets. To-
matoes also show a marked increase
over the number of baskets sent last
year. To date 162,473 baskets were
shipped compared with last years
shipment for the corresponding period
of 25,29O baskets. This year 1888
pounds of grapes have come over the
Delaware Division whereas last year
at this time 29,991 pounds were ship
ped.

HUMAN ANTITOxIN FOR HORSES
Found 90 Work a Cure for Meningitis
Among Stock at Salisbury

That human tetanus antitoxin may
be used effectively in curing horses
and mules of cerebro-spinal meningitis
was proven recently in Worcester
county where the spread of the dis
ease amony the animals has almost
reached the proportions of an epi-
demic. In one instance the supply of
veterinary antitoxin having become
exhausted the preparations for the
treatment of the human body were
substituted and resulted in the COM
plete recovery of two horses that had
been exposed to the disease and had
every primary symptom that other
wise would probablythave proved fa-
tai. Up until week or more ago the
treatment seemed uncertain. If an
animal became sick it was almost cer-
tain to die. In fact, trained veterin-
arians of the national and State de-
partment devoted to animal industry
have not given any specific treatment
and that which has heretofore been
used is not efficacious.

ANOTHER DEATH OUTCOME OF
AUTO CRASH ON BOULEVARD
MIDDLETOWN MAN LOSES LIFE
ON THE SMYRNA-DOVER ROAD
Leonard Meredith and Party Return
ing From a Dover Carnival Hit
Abutment at Denneys Corner

In an automobile accident on the
State highway near Denney's Corner,
three miles south of Bishops Corner,
shortly before midnight, another vic
tim was added to the death toll of last
week of accidents on the State high
way. Leonard Meredith, of Middle
town, with party of four others, who
had attended the State Fair at Will
mingtOn Friday, drove to Dover Fri
in progress there. While on their way
in progress there. While ontheir way
home, in attempting to pass a car at
Denney's Corner, the Chevrolet car
owned by Meredith, struck a stone
abutment wrecking the car, killing
Meredith outright, and severely cut
ting and lacerating Parker Schuman,
one of the occupants. Clifford Pyle,
another occupant suffered slight
bruises, while Harris Berkman and
Samuel Berkman, two other occupants,
escaped without injury, except minor
bruises. The car was demolished.
Meredith's body was taken in charge
by w. L. Pritchett, undertaken of Do
yer, while the injured of the party
were sent to the office of DR.. Joseph
Mcdaniel at Dover, where their in
juries were treated. The car, when it
struck the abutment, upset and Mere
dith was pinned under it, the other
occupants being thrown clear of the
car. When Meredith was gotten out
it was found that his neck was broken
in addition to other injuries and he
died almost instantly. Schuman sus-
tanned a severe scalp wound while the
injuries to the other three occupants
of the car were not so serious. Mere
dith's friends, who were with him in
the car, claim that the accident was
due to driver of a machine going to-
wards Dover refusing to give Mere
dith, who was driving the car de-
molished, his share of the road They
say that Meredith had to get off the
road to avoid the other car hitting his
machine and consequently ran into the
abutment. Meredith was married and
is survived by his wife and two chill
dren. He was employed as a driver
for the Atlantic Refining Company
and had lived in Middletown for four
years.
