One of the Advantages IN keeping
sheep that should not be lost sight Of,
writes an Ohio farmer, is that Tie farm
on which they are kept will be constant
ly increasing in fertility at greater
rate than another, similarly situated,
without sheep BY allowing sheep to
run on poor ground where the pastarage
is scaut there will be in a few years a
quite marked improvement in the guam
tity and uxuriance Of the grasses, arts
ing from their distribution Of manure,
in which all portions Of field used by
them will receive like share. Care
must be taken, however, not 20 pasture
too closely in hot and dry season =
Then they are great weed killors. But
no farmer should allow bis sheep to run
in woods or pastures at a season when
theip wool will gather burrs, unless be
has first killed all the burr-bearing
weeds before the burr, have formed.
look for a constant Improvement ID the
shecp-raisiug industry whenever farmers
breed for good earcasses and a market
from the butchers, rather than exclusive
" for wool. The demand for mutton
aud lambs is constantly increasing and
by catering to it, we can compensate
ourselves for the moderate prices re
ceiycd for wool. Were it not for the
horde of worthless dogs many farmers
would keep sheep who are now afraic
to do so on account Of this nuisance :

Progress In Southern Maryland.

1t has always been the privilege and

age all progressive movements il South

Gated any measure which in any way
tends to promote tie progress Of our
people in airy direction whatever Time
and again do we hear The cry Of "hard
times" it has been the by word Of our
people ever since the world began-and
it has become second nature This
county IS capable Of grand progress, Of
grand results We have healthy eli
mate fertile soiI-and people who
can we'll compare will those Of any 9th
err courty hospitablc aud generous,
noted for their integrity Of purpose.
and yet We are oppressed by hard
shines" The question arises in our
minds can this state Of perpetual ''hard
times" no. be remedied and what is the
remedy? We would suggest thai, in
view Of the fac. that agricul ure now
constitutes the major part Of the in lus-
Try Of our people, 80 diversity our in

We recommended the erection Of an in
sane asy lum in our county. The num-
Der Of insane paupors now supported IN
various institutions at our expens, is
large. Moreover we have reason to be-
lieve that oar sister counties would pa
tronize such an Institution in Southern
Maryland, it would create demand for
home products shus beneGting our pro-
ducers, it would furnish employment to
home people, there being no necessity Of
employing other than countians The
insane whom we are now supporting
could be supported at home for a smaller
sutIay and our home people would be
hose benefited By the outlay, for it would
all come into their hands Fle upon
chose who stubboruly essay to clog the
wheels Of progress, who cast damper
upon every progressive movement by
cingiug to old Institutions which have
not thing to recommend them but that
they are so-caled time houored This
rs an age Of improvement, an age where
all other parts of the country are trying
to make the best Of their advantages and

New Mexico and Arizona offer as
great field for psychologists as do the
lands where the empires of ancient days
fourished," said W. p. Metcalf, Of Al
buouerque, N. NJ IAN expedition left
Albuquerque only few days ago toiseek
for treasure which traditions say is to
be found at Gran Quivera, 100 miles
from that city. Before the pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock there were
fio1rishing settlements of white men
along the Rio Grande. Coronado, in his
history of the explorations made as early
as 1910, wrote of the seven cities of
Cibola, describing them as Of fabulous
wealth and magnificent beauty. The
ruins at Gran Quivera are believed 70 be
the ruins Of one of those cities.
Coronado told of abundant gold and
treasures in all OF these cities. and many
expeditions have explored about Quivera.
The ruins indicate that Large city stood
there. The limestone walls mark out
the sites of palaces, monasteries and
churches A curious thing Is that no
water can be found for FIFTY miles around
the site of the old city, although treasure
searchers have honeyc0mbed the hand
trying to secure supply of water. No
treasure has ever been found there, but
the belief that it is located there ante
dates any traditions of the Mexicans or
Indians. Just what prospects induced
the last expedition to start out do not
