NEW SUSSEX MILK STATION
To Be Opened in Nassau With Special
Features On April the First

Final plans for the opening of the
receiving station, at Nassau, Sussex
county, by the Naussau Milk Produc-
ers' Association, was made with the
Supplee-Wills-Jones Company,of Phil
adelphia, when a committee consisting
of County Agent Molloy C. Vaughan,
James 7. Lank and William f.
Thompson took up the matter with
the Philadelphia firm who will handle
the milk. 1t is planned to open the
plant on April l, and the farmers, will
be required to deliver the milk before
9 o'clock each morning so that it may
have time to be tested and cooled be-
fore shipment at o'clock in the af-
ternOon. The price to be paid will be
$2.S5 per hundred pounds at the
plant.
On the night before the opening,
the plant will be thrown open to the
public for inspection and an interest
ing program will be arranged for Wis
itOrs.
Dean c. A. McCue, of the Univer-
sity of Delaware and County Agent
Molloy c. Vaughn, of Sussex county,
are planning for the formal opening
of the station and have arranged to
have addesses.
The plant is owned by the Supplee-
Wills-Jones Company and is one of
the most modern in the East, it is
stated, costing more than $4,000. 1t
is the only A-grade. receiving station
on the Delmarvia Peninsula and the
equipment is the latest obtainable to
make the milk attain the standard of
grade.
More than four hundred thorough
bred cows will furnish milk for the
plant, many of them having been
bought after it became known that
the station was an assured thing.
The opening of the milk plant at
Nassau is but the forerunner of many
other dairy projects that are contem-
plated in lower Delaware and in WOr-
cester County, Md. 1t is understood
that within a few months a campaign
will be started to interest the farmers
in dairying along the d. NJ. & V. rail
road line south of Georgetown, with
the hope that milk shipments can be
made from Franklin City, Va, Snow
Hill, Newark, Shovel, Bishop, Berlin
in Maryland, and Selbyville, Frank.

a can Of talcum powder from a door
to-door canvasser just to get rid of
him she watched out of the window to
see him approach the house of Mr..
Hardheart, a neighbor across the
street.
In the rear of the yard she could
see Mr.. Hardheart tinkering with mis-
automobile. The canvasser also could
see him, so he passed beyond the
front entrance walk. Then he doubled
back across the lawn and, keeping out
of sight of the man of the house,
rang the bell. Mrs. Hardheart APP
peared and the peddler's wares were
instantly on display and the canvass
begun. Mrs. Hardheart bought some
thing and the agent departed as he
had come, keeping we'll out on the
lawn and out of Mr.. Hardheart's sight.

might fancy at first sight of these most
commodiOus Schwarzwald edifices that
each peasant numbered his children
and retainers by the dozen. Large fam
lilies are the rule in the forest to be
sure, but the hotel-like homes of the
peasants do not owe their size to this
fact alone. The secret is that these
are not merely residences; they are
at once dwellings, stables, granaries
and barns Many of them have en-
frances from the hillside at three or
more levels. On the ground are quar-
tered the farmers animals. On anoth-
er level is stored the grain or vege-
tables and hay; and loaded wagons
may be driven directly into this por-
ton of the house over a short bridge
from the hillside. On other levels
are comfortable family quarters-a
vastly superior plan to the sharing of
the same apartments by pigs, chickens
and people, found in some parts Of
the world. The portion of a Black For
est house set apart for family use can
always be told at glance by the pic
turesque little balconies that cling to
the walls outside the doors and win
dows of the living quarters
The Iordly wedding feasts of the
peasants of the Schwarzwald are re-
nowned, and again a queer custom Is
involved. Hundreds of guests attend,
hidden and unbidden A little army
of beeves and pigs and poultry are
slaughtered and carloads of loaves
and cakes and sundry other articles
of food are in evidence. One fears
for the family fortunes of the host
until he learns that an invitation i'm
poses the obligation to send food and
drink, and that the unlimited guests
who are most welcome-must pay TOR
the viands they consume. The we'd
ding, then, merely fixes the occasion
and the place; the feast is truly CO
operative neighborhood jubilee.
