Early Corn Cutting Chicken Thieves, &C
! We people here are looking for that new
railroad, to put Westminster right along side
of US; and though termini may often be con
sidered the all important points IN railroad,
vet, Westminster, as the county seat OF Gar
roll, promises a future of populous and com,
mercial Importance quite inviting to railroad
enterprise to pass that way; and if the pro
posed railroad should make that place, it
would find an easy grade from thence south
ward via Orndorff's mills, up a small stream
south therefrom to the valley of Morgan s
run. via Blooms mill creek to the level east
ern slope of the Sans Creek ridge northeast
of Winfield, east of Day, to Woodblne, cross
ing the gorge of the western branch of the
Patapsco, and the B. Il 0. Railroad at the
mill at the latter place, thence on the east OF
Lisbon along an easy grade to Sandy Springs.
The weather is dry, and persons who but
recently had to flee from the raln-mellowed
valleys to the hills for a firm footing, while
their PRAYER went up for less rain, are now
toiIing to mellow the clods preparatory to
wheat seeding, while the dust follows in
clouds, and their reverse invocation goes up
for more rain.
Some of our farmers whose experience has
not threaded the intricacies OF cause and
effect in nature, propose, Just because 1t IS
September, to divide between mother earth
and her corn progeny. and assume the role OF
alma mater in maturing corn in fine condl-
ton, as they seem to think it, IN shock.
But if one of few more years may be allowed
to give his experience, We would say that
the grain is never improved by cutting from
the ground. and that the fodder is more valu-
able if cut when the blades are dead up to
the ear. than if cut sooner or later. In
earlier cuttinp the corn damages by fungi
more than the fodder is worth, and by ike
process. the fodder to half its value. This
we have tested by cutting at various stages
Of maturity.

The poultry market Is very active in some
