TT HAS always seemed strange to
4 me that men allow themselves to
be drawn into contests in which they
haven't chance of winning.
A couple Of centuries ago promi-
nent citizens who knew nothing Of
duelling were always getting them
selves killed in duels. A man who
knew nothing Of fencing would allow
himself to be drawn into an affair In
which ,rapiers were the only weapons.
A fellow who had never fired a gun
in his life would consent to 'shoot
it out" with crack shot.
OF course, the expert fencer and
the crack Slot always talked quite
loudly of honor and made the anna
tours think that they would be cow
ards If they didn't fight according to
professional rules.
The victims apparently never
stopped to think that instead Of turn
ing out at daybreak with cutlasses
and flintlocks they might punch their
enemies on the nose with equal honor
to themselves and a much greater
possibility of success.
Far from it. They always went
nobly to the slaughter. And their hon.
orable opponents seldom hesitated to
accommodate them.
Duelling, fortunately, is today al
most lost art. Fisticufiing is much
more general and considerably less
harmful.
Yet men and women still let them
selves in for contests in which their
chances of success are negligible.
College students weighing 100
pounds are seen trying for the var
sity football team. They may excel
their big associates forty ways as
scholars. debaters or glee-club artists
Yet they forget all about their su
periorities and try to vie in rough

GROW HEALTHY Chick SLOGAN
MEETING WITH MUCH SUI UCCESS
CONDUCTED FOR FIRST T [NIE IN
KENT COUNTY THIS SPRING
Creditable Response Made by Poultry
men and the Experiment Should
Result in Much Good

Copies of circular letter prepared
by H. S. Palmer, Extension Poultry
man Of the University of D elaware,
were mailed last week from the office
Of County Agent Russell E. Wilson to
the eighty-fve poultry raisers in Kent
County whose chick mortalitk \ cards
have been received in connection with
the grow healthy chick e hmpaign
which is being conducted for the first
time in the state this spring. A very
creditable response has been received
from the poultrymen in this county,
as is shown by the number d t report
cards which these farmers returned to
the county extension office lib Dover.
and it is expected that seve1al addi-
tional records will be sent III during
the next few weeks as a result of this
recent request for further cooperation
from the poultrymen in reg dard to
their young stock. Although many of
the poultry raisers throughout the
state have experienced con- Siderable
loss due to disease among their young
chicks this spring, a summary Of the
information obtained from these
eighty-five report cards repr esenting
approximately 100000 chicks indicat-
ed that the average mortality rate III
Kent County during the Fl tst two
weeks was only I'll per cent as com
pared to but 1913 per cent at the end
OF the first month, which ma v be re
garded as very small loss ia king the
county as whole. One of Il he points
discussed BY Mr.. Palmer in these let
ters to the poultry raisers is the i'm
portance of separating the young
cockerels from the pullets. This prac-
tice will give the pullets better
chance to get their share Of the feed, |
and It will also provide a means for |
fattening the young cocErels for the

NOTICES TO GRAPE GROWERS
Copies of Timely Spray Notices in Re-
gard to Pre-BlOssOm Application

In connection with the grape vine
yard spray service program for this
season, copies of timely spray notices
in regard to the Importance Of the
predecessor application of Bordeaux
Mixture, with the addition of arsenate
Of lead and a good sticker, for the
control of the black rot and the berry
moth, were sent out last week from
the office of Kent County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson to all the grape grow
ers in the county and the adjoining
areas in the state. This spray should
precede the blossoming period just as
closely as possible, or when from five
to ten percent of the blossoms are out.
For this particular application the
growers have been advised to use 1 1-2
pounds of powdered arsenate Of lead
to each so gallons of the Bordeaux
Mixture, which should consist of
pounds of copper sulphate and
pounds of hydrated lime to so gallons
Of water, and also to thoroughly cover
the vines if an effective control is to
be expected. 1t is also being advised
that the growers use the arsenate of
lead and the sticker in the after-blos-
som spray, which should be applied
Immediately following the blossoming
period, as a further protection against
this destructive insect pest. The chief
purpose of these spray notices, there
fore, was to place special emphasis
upon the Importance of this pre- bios
som application as an effective treat
ment in the control of the berry moth
which has been causing heavy losses
to the crop in many of the vineyards
IN the county during the past two
years. The other object in view in
seending out these warnings was to
call the attention Of the growers again
to the recommended spray schedule
for the remainder of the season, as
several weeks ago these farmers re-
ceived from the county agents office
in Dover copies of Experiment Station
Bulletin No. 154, "Grape Disease Con-
troll in Delaware" by Dr. I. F. Manns,
Plant Pathologist and Soil Bacteriol-
ogist of the University of Delaware, /.
which contained the results of six
years of spraying demonstrations and ,
conducted in Kent county |
in regard to grape diseases and their
control.

market. If no special house is avail
| able for the cOckrels a place can be
provided by shifting a pen of layers
after they have been thinned down by
culling, and if the chicks have been
bro0ded in a permanent brooder house
the separation can be made by moving
the pullets to a specially prepared
summer roosting shelter and leaving
the cockrels where they are. These
summer roosting shelters offer an ex-
cellent means Of getting the pullets
out on clean ground and good pasture
which will aid materially in their
growth and development into healthy
and profitable layers.
Fattening Ration For BroiIers
In discussing the facts regarding a
fattening ration for broilers, Mr.. Pal
mer states that yellow corn meal and
milk are the two principle ingredients,
as most any growing mash can be con-
verted into satisfactory fattening
ration by adding enough corn meal to
equal so percent Of the mixture, and
sufficient amount of dried milk to
equal 10 percent. The mash should
be mixed to a thin batter with water,
and fed in troughs three times a day.
If liquid or semi-solid milk is used the
dried milk or meat scrap should be
omitted, while the semi-solid is dilut-
ed l to 3 with water. and two pounds
of this liquid or diluted semi-solid will
mix with one pound Of mash. One Of
the suggested formulas for a fatten-
ing ration consists of so pounds of
corn meal, 20 pounds of ground hulled
oats, is pounds Of flour middlings or
red dog flour, and 10 pounds Of dried
milk. Another formula which is be-
ing used in Connecticut with good re-
suits may be prepared by using 100
pounds of corn meal, so pounds Of
ground oatmeal, 80 pounds Of flour
and 80 pounds Of beef
scraps. The birds to be fattened should
be placed in a pen to themselves and
provided with enough feed hoppers for
all Of them to eat at one time. Pre-
vious to being started on this fatten-
ing ration the birds should not be fed
for a period Of twelve hours, but al
lowed to have plenty Of water to
drink. At first the birds should not
be given all the feed that they will
consume, but at the end of the third

MORE TREES FOR HIGHWAYS
Amendment to Federal Act Provides
for Planting and Maintenance

Additional Identification of the
| highways of Delaware according to L.
l.. Hopes, executive secretary of the
Delaware Automobile Association,
18th and West streets, Wilmington,
now looms as possibility, which may
be realized within a comparatively
short time, as the result of Congress
sional amendment to the Federal
Highway Act, providing for the plant
ing and maintenance of shode trees
along the Federal-aid highway sys-
TEN. There are now three L. S.High-
ways running through Delaware, US.
13, Y. S. 113, and L. S. 40. A major
portion of these markers are now
placed. An amendment to the act pro-
vides that specifications for Federal
aid projects hereafter may include
planting and maintenance of shade
trees, this step being the first depar-
ture from Federal policy of appro-
priating only for road-bed and direct
ly kindred construction operation. Two
other amendments to the Federal-aid
Highway Act, agreed upon by the
House and Senate at the same time,
provided for full financing of primary
Federal-aid projects and secondary
feeders to the primary roads in areas
Of public lands in States where popu-
lation averages 10 or less persons per
square mile, and also provides that
the system of Federal-aid highways
eligible for expenditure of Federal
funds in any State may exceed seven
per cent of the total highway mileage

The Milwaukee Journal says to.
day that strange matrimonial ex-
pertinent was brought to light in
New Auburn, Wis.,, in which the
husbands of two families snapped
wives and children.
The families involved, the paper
says, are those of William Brown,
40, a farmer living near here, and
Edward ". Heidelberger, 80, an
other farme4 living three miles from
the Brown home. Mrs. Lizzie Held

now resides in the home Of Mr..
Brown and Mrs. Hcidelberger says
that she is happier than she ever
was before. Mrs. Brown and three
Of her five children now reside in
the home Of Mr.. Heidelberger, also
happier than yer before.
The arrangement between the
families, now in existence TO. about
six weeks. has at present no legal
sanction, but Mrs. Brown has sued
her husband for divorce on the
ground Ct cruel and inhuman treat
ment and Mr.. Heidelberger has sued
his wife on the same grounds. Meth

The arrangement of matrimonial
and sentimental relations offhand,
and with somewhat the same ardor
and emotion displayed in an old

The manner in which the marital
negotiations took place was described
by Mrs. Brown in the following
