two mules perished in fire
which destroyed a large bank
barn and it's contents, including
"a tons of hay and a quantity of
machinery and implements on
the farm of Harry Stambaugh,
near Thurmont, Friday night.
The fire, of undetermined orr
gin, was discovered by Stam-
baugh, who noticed a light in the
barn as he was about to retire.
He found the haymow in flames.
Attempting to rescue the live
stock, he was driven from the
building by the heat after hber-
ating three cows, which escaped.
Neighbors saved about 400 bushels
Of corn. The flames spread to the
dairy, which was saved by
bucket brigade.
Word was sent to Thurmont
for assistance and an automobile
punper with a corps of firemen
made a quick run to the scene
and threw water on the embers
for nearly two hours. The flames
made an illumination visible for
miles and large crowd assem-
bled.
The loss is estimated between
$1,000 and $4,000. partly covered
by insurance.

the blood and the circulatian.
A satiny skin, pink cheeks and

blood, and the skin will take

If you need good red cor

Airplanes Fight Frost
and Plant New Forests

In several parts of the world
where delicate fruit crops are
grown frost is deadly enemy. 1t
has been discovered that ground
frosts are unlikely In cloudy wealth
er, since the clouds act like blan-
kets and prevent the soil from CIV
Ing up its heat. On clear nights 1t
has long been customary to protect
orange, lemon. and other citrus
fruit trees by lighting smoke fires.
The heat Of the fires Is trifling,
but their smoke clouds provide the
necessary counterpanes. Recent ex-
periments have shown that air
planes can be used for tucking up
fruit trees for the night. The plane
flies TO and fro over the orchard,
emitting a dense cloud of smoke,
and the trees are kept warm.
Sometimes forest fires destroy
thousands upon thousands of acres
Of timber. To replant these In the
ordinary way would be almost Inn
possible, but wonderful results have
been obtained by using airplanes to
distribute tree seeds over the burnt
out lands.

Surprising Vitality in
Lies Mysterious Germ

Plants burnt crisp, blowing about
Death valley before scorching
winds; plants dry as bones, keeping
a seemingly futile roothold along
the arid declivities of western
Peru; baked seeds mixed with the
sands Of the Sahara-how can life
remain In these? And yet when
one Of its rare rains drenches
Death valley the desert is quick
with exuberant. gay bloom that had
been waiting years and could have
waited others to hasten into exist
ence for a few days.
Only in very warm. long summers
do certain insects frozen deep In
the ice masses of the North escape
and regain movement at the suns
reprieve, just as the shriveled seeds
swelled at the rains. White desert
and tawny are forever filled with
invisible vitality that needs but
warmth or moisture to bring 1t not
into being-strangely as the revival
resembles a miracle of spontaneous
creation-but merely into sight.
And In mountain lakes, under eight
feet or more of Ice, microscopic
plants which cannot live without
sun suspend their living and endure
In that state of inertia of which we
speak without understanding it till
some kindly season when strong
rays may conquer the massive walls
OF their prison.-New York Herald

Harvest Moon

The harvest moon is the full
moon which occurs nearest to the
autumnal equinox. At that season
the path of the moon passes quite
closely above and below the hori-
zon at the time Of the full moon,
causing it to rise nearly at sunset
for several nights in succession,
prolonging the natural twilight. 1t
is so called from the assistance Its
illumination gives to harvesters.
If the moon is full after Septem-
Der %, It is called the hunters
moon.

That central and lower Delaware
residents will be able to eat tur-
key on Thanksgiving Day was
manifested at Dover last Wednes-
day, when Dover poultry dealer
purchasing live poultry for the city
markets, paid 20 cents per pound
for live turkeys and chickens while
ducks brought 16 cents and gum
eas brought from SIPS to $1.40
per paid. 1t is manifest from the
large number of turkeys brought
by farmers at Dover last week
that they do not care to take the
trouble to dress them, even though
they would likely receive from 10
to II cents more per pound. The
warm weather existing in lower
Delaware at this time also ac-
counts for the selling of poultry
alive rather than dressed. Large
numbers of Belgian hares are al
so being brought to the Dover
poultry dealers.

Why dairying is playing such an
important part in the agricultural
development of the nation and why
the United States leads the world
as a source of high producing dairy
stock is apparent from an analysis
of the recent widespread develop
ment of high producing black-and
white dairy cows. Twenty-four
states, including Delaware, share
in this development as is indicated
by the 152 Holsteins that have
made 169 records exceeding 1000
pounds of butter-fat in one year
and that include the bulk of the
total such records credited in the
nation. OF the five Holstein cows
in this state that have exceeded
1000 pounds of butterfat in one
year, one was both bred and made
their records here and four were
bred in other states.
