capes during the night. This, being in
great part gaseous in form, permeates
every part of the bed. Thus all parts
of the bed-mattress blankets, as well
purifcation.
The mattress needs this renovation
quite as much as the sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used with
out washing or changing three or six
months would beregarded as bad house
keeping; but insist, if thin sheet can
absorb enough of the poisonous excre-
tions of the body to make it unfit for
use in a few days, thick mattress,
which can absorb and retain thousand
times as much of these poi
sonous excretions, needs to be purified
as often certainly as once in three
months. A sheet can be washed. A
mattress cannot be renovated in this
way. Indeed there is no other way of
cleaning q mattress but by steaming it
or picking it to pieces, and thus in
fragments exposing it to the direct rays
of the sun. As these processes are
scarcely practicable with any of the or
,dinary mattresses, am decidedly of
the opinion that the good, oldfash-
ioned straw bed, which can every three
months be exchanged for fresh straw,
and'the tick washed, is the sweetest of
beds.
If in the winter season the porous
ness of the straw bed makes it little
uncomfortable, spread over it two
wooden blankets, which should be
washed. With this arrangement, if
you wash all the bed-covering often,
you will have a sweet, healthful bed.
Now, if you leave the bed to air, with
open windows during the day, and not
make it up for the night before evening,
you will have added greatly to the
sweetness of your rest, and, in conse-
quence, to the tone of your health.

Suppose you are given to habit of
profanity. You enter conversation with
a man who never swears; in other words
a gentleman. By and by you begin to
perceive that he is the superior man.
Your remarks have tame, fiat, feeble
sound to your own ears. Your cheeks
begin to burn with sense of your

The frosts in New England in May
and June were much more severe than
first reported. In the detailed &C
counts from some localities it is re-
ported that the ground froze and that
ice formed an eighth of an inch thick.
The best informed say that the garden
and Vegetable crops generally will be
almost total failure in Rhode Island,
Connecticut and some parts of Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. The
outlook for farmers was never more
discouraging in New England, and the
fatal season of 1916, the year without
summer, in which frost fell in every
month, is despondently recalled. Corn
that withstood the freeze in the last
Friday in May was cut down by the
frost of June Added to the frost was
a drouth that will prevent anything like
the usual crop of hay, while the pas
lures are as brown as in October, unless
accounts are greatly exaggerated the peo-
pie of New England have at present a
very dismal prospect ahead.

and he is to get it doubled every day
for 81 days, how much will he have
coming to him for the thirty first

the thirty-frst days wages would

Improved Methods on the Farm.

Fran the Breeders Gazette.
There are very few farms in this coun-
try, east or west, that have ever been
made to produce over so per cent. OF
their capacity, and very few farmers
capable of making even 100 acres do
more than this. A vast majority OF
those who own more would be benefited
by selling the surplus and using the
proceeds as capital to improve the re-
naming acres, and by purchasing better
stock.
The little Island of Jersey is said to
maintain one animal to every two acres
on the island, including roads, fences
and the ground occupied by buildings.
Their farms average about ten acres.
In very few instances in this country
one animal has been supported to each
improved acre. This proves what is
possible under the best management.
The best talent, the intensest study.
the most knowledge and the best busi-
ness methods should be,
and will be devoted to agricul-
ture for years 10 come. The
professions are overstocked. Doctors
are without patients and lawyers with
out clients, as most of them ought to
be; but good Ian dis are cheap and plenty.
Intelligent laborers on the farm are
scarce and better paid than any other
class. Farming has been accepted as a
last resort by those unable to live by
their wits, or good enough for such as
were considered INCAPABLE of or indif-
ferent to thorough culture. The men
tally-active boy has taken a medi-
cal course or q law course of
lectures after completing his educa-
ton" at the academy or college. These
avenues are now full to repletion; they
are in need of thorough drainage. Now
that farmers begin to see that they need
more culture, more knowledge and busi-
rsss methods to attain any standing in
their own business, and to fill credit
ably such public positions as their num-
bers and their occupations entitle them,
let them win back their sons from the
shop and Office to their farms, where all
their intelligence can be more proftably
employed. Let them send their sons
to the agricultural college instead Of the
medical school; let them attend course
of lectures on botany and chemistry in
stead of law, and they may possibly do
something to make farming more at
tractive as well as profitable, and take
and hold that station in life to which
the poets fancy has assigned him.

can be carried out, Annapolis will be.

tractive cities 10 tbe country.

and is appreciated BY our citizens.
The memorial to Reverdy John
son is assuming shape. The triangu-
lar space between st. Anne's and the
Governors Mansion has been survey
ed and plat made. The association
propose to park and curb this space
and leave TO the bar and the people
the selection of suitable monument
to the illustiious MaryIander.
The association is also taking pre-
liminary steps to open an inviting
avenue between this city and Bay
Ridge, q distance of but three miles
along the shore Of the outer harbor,
which, when completed, WILDE one Of
the most beautiful drives in the coun-
try. A committee was before the
board OF county commissioners Tues
day asking that body TO aid the enter
prise by agreeing to bridge Back
Greek and another small stream-the
cost Of which It is estimated will not
exceed $1,000. This committee was
opposed by few farm-owners who
wish to have the road located several
miles 10 the interior, which will be IN
altrative and several miles longer. Mr..
Revell, one Of the committee, made 4
most able and convincing argument
for the associations route, and 1t is
hoped and believed the commission
ers win see and be governed in their
action by the learned attorneys point
ed arguments.
The efforts making to build the
Short Line railroad between Balti.
more, Round Bay and Annapolis are
not slumbering, and il is confidently
hoped by It's projectors that some def
mite arrangements will be very soon
reached to begin this important road.
The association Is also making ef-
forts to secure from the general gov
ernmeut assistance IN opening an
avenue between the government farm
on the Severn river and the national
cemetery, comparatively short dis
tance apart.
These improvements are not to be
taxed upon our people. but win aid
greatly In enhancing the whole Of the
property along their routes now al
most inaccessible for want Of good
roads. These efforts are q work of
love and pride-love for the beautiful
city Of their birth or adoption, and =
pride in seeing the Capital or the
State and It's surroundings beautifed
and adorned.
