None breaches better than the ant,
md it says nothing.-Franklin.
Milford chronicle., 1926-07-02

DR.. Frank Hare since last September
has supervised the testing Of 10000
chickens for trace of whit diarrhea
and by the end of this moth, will
have certified to more than 100 flocks
ind given them marks placing them
among accredited flocks.
This rating for the eggs and chick
ems produced at these plants has
doubled the price obtained for chicks
and eggs from hatcheries in other
states. Baby chicks used to sell for
ten cents apiece. And they still do at
five and ten cent stores in the cities.
But to the man wishing to get a
purebred chicken for future service,
he doesn't want the mongrel stock.
He wants feathered stock free from
disease and he is willing to pay the
price. This spring, one Sussex coun-
ty hatchery received as high as 81
cents a chick for its stock which
came from certified eggs and accred-
tied fiocks.
Beginning in September, DR.. Hare,
in charge of the poultry work, will
begin a re-inspection Of the 1ocks
which he accredited last fall and
winter. The inspection will likely be
a bit more rigid. In many instances
DR.. Hare helped the raiser to ar
range for the right kind Of surround
ings for his flock. If these details are
not as they should be when the Sec
ond inspection is made the accredit-
ed flock may lose its standing.

POULTRY INDUSTRY
Is GROWING RAPIDLY

The poultry raising industry IN
Delaware which for many years mas
been an important one is not any
where near it's fullest development
according to plans being made Dy
pOEltry raisers now. Just how many
baby chicks were hatched this year
no one knows, but it is known tnat
the hatchery men have decided 10
increase the capacity of their haIcn-
cries by more than 100000 chicks Dy
next spring. 1t might be a safe esu-
mate to figure that there will be at
least 100000 more increase ABOVE
this added 100000 capacity, these be-
ing small hatcheries that handle hVe
to ten thousand baby chicks eacn
spring.
One hatchery man who has a ca
pacity Of $4,000 chicks has arrangeo
to increase his equipment by 5O'OUU
more and another man who had a
capacity this year for 10000 chicks
has also bought equipment that VIII
give him nearly 100000 output. Thls
man, states that he has orders no"
for next spring totaling his entlIe
output this year, and he proposes 70
add to this by advertising his pro-
duct through the winter in poultry
magazines.
That the big poultry raisers appre-
ciate the value Of the poultry de-
partment established last September
by the State Board Of Agriculture
may be easily verified by any one
who makes inquiry Of these men

about her beauty she acts so naughty

about the baby's wonderful eyes.

Have you ever tried telling her
yourself that she is pretty?" asked
the friend. Il had the same trouble
with Betty May. She was older than
Mary Jane. didn't know what to do.
I couldn't tell her she wasn't pretty
for she was and could see it for her
self. Besides, if I had she would have
thought my judgment at fault or else
considered me unfair and her friends
would have seemed more dependable
than her mother. studied the prob

frank with her.

I heard Mrs. Handon and Mrs. Way

Mrs. Gray were raVing to her about
her pretty eyes-said they had a
faun-like look and would melt a
heart of stone.

into Betty Mays eyes, that is just
what they told me. Do you suppose
people compliment all the girls that
way?'
"'Yes, may dear, they are nice to

fact that it wasn't unusual to be
pretty and became her sweet self

STATES TANES AND
STATES OJTGO

Taxes in Connecticut during 1925 were not so low as to be indistin- guishable not by q long shot. The state collected the neat sum of $29,295,0 ,00O. Next to Massachu- sctts this sum is the highest of any New England state. IL was twice as much as Maine collected four times as much as New Hampshire four times as much as Vermont three and a half times as much as Rhode Island, and considcra bly more than half as much as Massa- chusctta.
 The details of Connecticut's tax alton list arc interesting as show ing where the money comes from. Here are tho figures as summarized by the L. S. Department of Com mercc;
 General property taxes, $LS09,- ono. Special property taxes. s2,- 2,0Qo. Inheritance taxes, s2.SG7- GOO. Motor fuel taxes, $l,l19,0oO. Motor vehicle licenses. $5,135,00o. Earnings Of general departments, s3,37o,ooo. Earnings Of public service enterprises, S20,OOo. Other sources including fines, forfeits, cscheats. interest and rents, s12,- o03, 5000.
 These figures differ very slightly from the states own official" sta tistics in the Connecticut legisla- tive annual yearbook; why they should differ at all is hard 10 un- derstand.
 Of course, We are paying our way as We go,' and all that sort of thing, But, as Charles c. Morris, the Democratic Gubornatorial candi- date aptly observes, this is because the income is kept large enough to take care Of the mounting outgo. IL makes no difference how high the outgo is. so long as the controlled l Legislature has the power 10 sec that tho income is sufficient to over top it. With a little more opposition 1 in the Legislature it would mean a cuFhing of inc power 10 jack up the income, which automatically would reduce tho ou'go If the latter is to 1 remain commensurate with income; in other words. more economy.

THE POTATO BONANZA
 IN MAINE

Potato growers In Aroostook county, Maine, have experienced turn for the better; indeed, they feel so good about 1t that high
 powered cars again are the rule. Everybody up that way seems to be dealing In potatoes, and the haber- dashers, garage men and even the bankers themselves are just as ex
 pert at figuring the profits on their barrels sold as the regular potato growers.
 No stories that ever came out Of Florida equal or surpass those originating in Aroostook county this year One Maine potato farmer it Is related. felt like the Oklahoma Indian whose land suddenly began shooting oil and simply didn't know what 10 do with his money. So he built q barn costing sl00,- 600 - the finest in the state.
 Last year. after several bad sea sons. the Aroostook farmers owed $40, 900, 0nO the main topic of con- versation was mortgages. This year 1 fate played a fancy trick, and an outstandingW huge potato crop eventuated in year when the
 West had an unusually poor one. Aroostook potatoes are being shipped all over the country; the
 western potato growing section Is
 buying Maine potatoes as precipi-
 tately as any other section. Some
 Maine growers got S1o barrel, and the crop in Maine has been | 30, 0,000.000 bushels. Considering 1 that the Aroostook potato gold mine is concentrated in few 1 townships. totallins only 10000 acres grown 10 potatoes, the par l ticular growers getting grip on the money are comparatively few In number, considering the state at a whole. They arc bringing in 100 | barrels to the acre, with cost of production amounting to slS0 an acre. T. does not require an expert mathematician 10 figure out the splendid profits.
 Our advice to the Maine potato growers Is not to fly too high. They have had bad years in the past and may experience some more. Next l year the West may have big
