With the completion on October

pOultryman of the University of Del
aware, in cooperation with the

County Agent Russell r.. Wilson to

who are members of this farm egg
record club at the present time.
In 1882 there were 106 poultrymen
who sent in their complete egg re-
cords each month to the extension
specialist, and these log farms re-
presented a total of 47,9ll birds on
November 1, 1881, and 22,7l2 birds

DATE OF ELECTORAL
GROUP TO BE CHANGED
AboliShing Of Lame. Duck Session
NeceSsitates New Laws.

The meeting dates of the Electoral
College and the counting of its votes
by Congress will have to be changed
by law is &c States ratify the amend
ment abolishing the lame duck
sessions and changing the date of
Inauguration of the President and
Vice President.
The Electoral College under exist
ing law meets on the first Wednes-
day in January following the quad
rennial elections and Congress polls
the votes in joint session on the
second Wednesday in February.
These dates have to be changed
before the 1884 elections, because
seventeen States already have rati-
fed the so-called lame duck" amend
ment. More than forty State Legis-
latures meet in 1888 and final rati-
fication appears conclusive.
The amendment fixes the conven-
ing of the new Congress for Janu-
airy 3, following the November cleo
tions, and the Inauguration of the
new President and Vice President
on January 20. If the Electoral Col
lege law should remain unchanged,
the newly elected chief executive
would take office before Congress
declares him elected And
that would hardly do.

SAFETY COUNCIL
URGES CAUTION
Advises Garage And Au-
tOmObile Owners To Be
Careful.
SHUT OFF ENGINE

According to the Delaware Safety
Council, in spite of the great num-
Der of accidents which have result
ed from gasoline explosions, drivers
and garage workers continue to do
things which endanger not only
their own lives, but also the lives
and property of others.
1t seems needless to caution
against the use of matches, cigars,
cigarettes, and other open flames
near gasoline, or near oil-soaked
rags and clothing. In drawing or
pouring gasoline from one contain
er to another, static electric sparks
may be developed. ! 1t is advisable
always to keep the. two containers
in contact with each other. or to at
tach chain to the pouring contain
er which will maintain the contact.
This will lead off the electric
charge and prevent sparkling.
Sparks often result from striking
together two pieces of metal. 1t is
best to use kerosene instead of gas
oline when cleaning oil and grease
from metal parts.
p When in the garage, the engine
should not be run longer than nee
essary. Carbon monoxide is con-
tanned in the exhaust gases. and un-
