sold DICK" ON THE DRIED SCOTT DzcrsIoN.
In the fall Of 1910 Francis P. Blair, r., was
riding one afternoon out It'll street road with
his wife and daughter. The latter was seated
carelessly with her foot out Of the stirrup,
more interested in talk than in managing her
horse. They had arrived at the spot where the
little church called by the irreverent BATTLE
Abbey" now stands, on the site Of Fort Stevens,
when the animal, realizing his opportunity,
perhaps, jumped to one side, leaving his
rider uninjured and seated very comforts
bly, in the sand. The horse, freed of his burden,
started on run and was caught by Mr.. Blair
in the pines, nearly two miles away, near Q
sort OF small gulley, from which flowed Q
tine body OF water, now known as Silver
Spring. Mr. Blair was 80 impressed by the
natural beauty Of the surroundings and the
purity of the water that he often revisited the
spot. At that time he was editing the Globe,
the organ OF the democratic party during the
Jackson and Van Buren, administrations. The
paper maintained vigorous opposition during
the Harrison-Tyler administration; but on the
return of democratic ascendency it became ap-
parent, to use Mr.. Blair's own words, that
President Polk had gone over body and soul to
the Calhoun, disunion, faction Of the party-a
concession he had to make in fact to secure
his own election. There was then no longer
room in the councils Of the democratic party
for one Of Gen. Jackson's personal adherents
and bitter opponent to every scheme of nulli-
fication. Mr.. Blair thereupon abandoned the
Globe
AND RETIRED TO SILVER SPRING

Shall We Cut Our Corn Fodder?


1t will depend much upon our conven
fences to do the work chcaply whether i
will pay to cut corn for stock II one ha.
n horse power and a good strong cutter
that will do the work rapidly, 1t may pay
him to cut corn fodder, as it is u little
more convenient to feed and the manure
handles better.
To do it by hand power costs t. much
If fed whole the leaves and all the small
er parts of the stalks will be eaten the
coarse, hard butts will be rejected. II
cut, these coarse, hard butts will be re-
jected, hut more will probably be eaten
than when fed whole. The practical
question is whether enough more of nu-
tritive, digesiible matter would be eaten
when cut to pay for cutting the whole
fodder. In my opinion very little more
matter would be eaten when cut
than when fed whole, or not enough
more to pay for cutting.

CranberrIeS.

There are many farmers who would
like to raise cranberries for their own tn
BILE, who think that they cannot do so be
cause they believe that the cranberry
must have bog land or the crop will be II
failure.
This is not absolutely so. Any one
having n spot of moist. mucky land can,
with IA little trouble, raise all of this fruit
he cares for. | have raised cranbcrre>
on comparatively dry soil, but of course
they will not do AS well as well as on soil
congcnial to their nature, yet small spot
will produce all a family will need; and
with very little care after once they be
gin to bear.
Most farmers have some wet spots tina,
might be devoted TO their culture. When
once set and kept clear from weeds until
the vines cover the ground they will he
no further trouble only to gather the
fruit. As an experiment | planted a
small bed, and since 1t began to bear we
have yearly gathered all the fruit we
needs. One season it produced two
bushels from about three rods of ground
and the fruit was very fine. To plant,
clear the ground from grass by taking
of the sod. and push the vines down into
the mud with a stick, and this Is all that
need be done. There will be no Difficult
ty about their taking root If planted an,
time from spring to autumn. 1t is best
to plant thick; they will cover the ground
sooner and will then keep out the grass

Disease from School Rooms.

IL is stated by DR.. J. A. Llrrabre, in
the American Medical journal, that
among the diseases that are either caused
or favored by our present treatment OF
the young in The public school houses are
contagious diseases, eye elections, c oil
era, and consumption. Tue construction

greatest possible number into single

The air in these square boxes is breath

any public school room in this city, aud
aot note that the atmosphere was vitiated
by causes which are too plain to he nam

sometimes aware of this; but even the

One third OF the lives of the Anne lear
people Is passed in the public schools
and this third is the time when the phys
cal system is peculiarly disposed to con
tract disease. Light and ventilation ar,
considered so important in Switzetlanf
tina. the school buildings are placed o,
the submits of small hills, where the hes
air and light are to be had, and ventill-
ton and other points of hygiene, ar,
considered of the first Importance. Thi'
location Of school buildings is not posi-
BILE in city like our own, but the safety
of our children can be far better assured
than it is at present by the appointment
Of medical inspectors, who shall multipl,

Hygiene Is, indeed, taught in the pub
lie schools, but it needs to be taught In
the public schools, but it needs to be
taught and enforced in the elementary
schools vastly more at present, If thu
children that most need to know what
are the conditions of health are to receive
anything of practical value to them about
it before they leave school.
A radical change on this point woulC
greatly Increase the expense Of the pub

Of dollars which are now paid ont in the

girls of the diseases or Injurious habits

has been called to IL, and it is cas-
where an ounce of prevention is worth {
