GARRETT COUNTY JAIL.
The State Board of Health Makes an
Investigation.

- - ~~NSO 1871 - ~ AiCeAiAii WI CtNeS an
investigation.
AS was intimated in THE REPUB-
LICAN last week the investigation of
the sanitary condition of the iail
here took place Tuesday by DR..
Stewart, of the State Board of
Health.
In addition to what WAS pub
lished in these columns in connec-
ton with the jail last week the
following facts have been gathered
and are presented to our readers.
1t will be remembered that on the
4th inst. the young wife OF Sheriff
Wegman died of typhoid fever in
the sheriff's residence, Mrs. Veg
man had been one of the healthiest
and strongest of women until she
and her husband took up their res
idence in the sheriff's house. She
worked hard to keep the old build
ing clean and succeeded to con-
siderable extent, but the effort no
doubt cost her her life. The cir
cumstances of her death caused at
the time much comment, as it was
remam bered that ex-Sheriff Jami-
sons wife and John B. Brant had
also died there of typhoid fever and
that both Mr.. Jamison and Mr..
Wegman were IN poor health while
at the Jail, and the fact that Sheriff
Wegman is now at his old home in
Grantsvllle seriously unwell. The
sheriff thought that the unhealthy
condition of the building caused
his wife's death and SO reported to
DR., Stewart, of the State Board of
Health.
DR.. Stewart was in Oakland Tues
day in consultation with DR.. II. W.
McComas, County Commissioner
Isaac W. Abernaty, States Attorney
G. S. Hamill and clerk Jacob S.
Meyers. Investigation revealed the
fact that the unhealthy condition
of the jail had been complained of
for long time; that more than two
years ago the foreman of the grand
jury had roundly condemned the
building as insecure and unhealthy.
Steps had been taken to make the
building more secure, but its sani-
tation had not been improved.
Immediately adjoining the prison
room is the sheriff's house, which
would be comfortable enough but
for Its conjunction with the prison.
The front door to the house is the
only entrance to the prison and the
sheriff and his family are as much
in jail as the prisoners.
Immediately under the kitchen
where Mrs. Wcgman spent much of
her time, was an old cistern, which
had become cesspool.
DR.. Stewart seemed very much
impressed with the condition of
things at the jail and will make an
official report in a few days. Com
missioner Alternately and the other
officials seemed fully convinced of
the necessity of immediate and Wig
orous action and are only awaiting
DR.. Stewards recommendation be-
fore beginning work.

now 70 TRIM A nAMr.

There is such vast difference be-
tween tho quality and quantity OF
light given by kerosene lamp prop
orly trimmed and that given by the
same lamp unskillfully trimmed that
it is surprising any person of average
observation will endure the light
given by badly trimmed lamp for
even n single hour. But few people
can trim kerosene lamp properly,
and not many people who read or sew
by kerosene lamp seem to mind it.
Many implements for trimming
lamps have been invented, but few of
them are of any signal value. The
best instrument for trimming lamp
wick is the human forefinger. 1t is
much superior to a pair of scissors.
Whether the wick be cylindrical or
straight, turn it up until the part that
is thoroughly charred Is exposed, hold
the wick firmly in place with the
screw and rub off the charred portion.
A little practice will enable one to
make a perfectly straight, smooth
edge to a wick this way, and n single
wipe on piece of paper or cloth will
cleanse the finger.
Lastly, be careful not to let any oil
the chnrred refuse from the wick stick
on the burner, where it will obstrucI
the draught of the lamp. Brush it of
or blow it of, aud keep the draugh
clear. New York Mail and Express

Bnt the tnste ID the market LAS

But the taste of the market has
changed. Big hogs are no longer in
demand. Instead of an animal weigh.
ing 450 pounds, one ofhalf that weight
is the kind desired. Big hogs can
only be sold at a reduced price. Con.
sumers demand smaller hams and
shoulders and we'll streaked bacon,
while lard has been almost completely
superseded by cottonseed oil.
To supply changed conditions the
type of hog has undergone a marked
modification, and swine breeders will
do we'll to recognize it in order tc
market their pig crop at a gain.
While the smaller breeds are more
largely used, the chief difference has
been in the feed. Plenty Of corn
means the ability to produce plenty
of pork, so that it must remain our
chief hog food; but corn is only one
of the leading food factors in success
full pork growing.
Many farmers have made practice
of keeping pigs constantly on corn,
which has tended to bring on an un.
healthy condition and render the ami.
mails easy victims of hog cholera.
Barley, wheat, peas and clover or
alfalfa should also enter into the
rations. Both the health of the ami
NAL and the quality of the meat are
affected by the diet. The latter is so
well recognized that pork made from
mixed ration brings a higher price
than that made from corn exclusively.
1t is worthy of careful note that in
the great hog markets of the world 1t
is not the hog from the great hog
producing countries that sells at tho
highest prices, but the meat of the
hog from dairy sections such as Den
mark, and, to certain extent, from
Ireland.
1t is also well to remember that fat
tening animals ought not to be fed
longer than necessary to bring them
up to maturity. 1t is well-estab-
lished fact that gain can be made in
hogs weighing 200 pounds much
cheaper than in those weighing 400
or over. Feeding and trying to fat.
ten old animals is not paying bust
ness, generally speaking, rs proper
returns are not obtained for the food

TO CATCH MoLEs.

a correspondent of the Rural World
says; Anyone who can catch fish car
catch moles. We do not catch then
with a hook and line, but it require:
about as much patience. Find the
place where the moles are working,
then open the run for about six inches
and put in loose dirt at each end OF
the opening; then fill up the run and
press it down. This will prevent him
from passing. AS he attempts to pass
he will come in contact with the OBJ
struction and will press the dirt up
wards in order to get through. Now
is the time to do the work for the lit.
tie pest. So be ready with mottock
and dig him out. Be sure to strike
behind him or you may fail to get
him. The best time is IN the morn
ing about sun up and noon and before
sun down.

SELECTING Hay For COWS.

AS n plant forms seed it takes sub
stance from the leaves and stalk and
stores it within the seed as nourish-
ment for the germ when it shall grow.
This is called "translocation, and it
plays an important part i'll changing
the chemical constituents of different
parts of the plant. Perennials have
still another form of translocation.
Nutriment is stored in the roots. Tim
othy has a bulb Just beneath the sur
face of the ground. From this bulb
fresh roots como in spring. The point
Of interest to the dairynnn is that the
grass grows less nitrogenous as it ma
lures, and the nutritive ratio becomes
too narrow for perfect daily ration.
Succulent pasture grass is perfect
ration; ripened grass is too woody
and carbonaceous. Experiments at
different stations indicate that in feed
ing the results are what the chemical
analysis would lead one to expect.
Early cut hay has large protein con-
tent, and is better for milk produc-
tion; that cut later is more carbona
ceous and is suited to beef making.
Now, since it is impracticable tC
cut all the grass at once there will bC
some cut early and some cut lato. The
sensible thing to do is to stack sepa'
rate, OF put in different mows in the
barn and feed in accordance with its
suitability TO the object sought, Civ
ing the COWS in milk and young grow
ing stock the early cut hay. The
writer fills his long NOW in sections.
This grades the hay as cut, and the
barn is so arranged that he can feed
from any desired section. Those
whose stock run outside will find il
profitable to remember which stack is
early cut and feed it according to the
suggestion given above. New Eng

Uses oF RAW HIDE.

For wide usefulness, few things ex.
eeed raw hide, though it is not COM
monty understood in tho East, or
among civilized people as should be
the case, writes Hollister Sage. The
Western pioneer, through necessity,
learned the art of manipulating it
long years ago, and its use has not
been forgotten. A coil of sun-dried
cowhide tied to the plow handle, tur-
ret ring or wagon stake, is security
against breakdowns and many mishaps
which arc likely to overtake the
farmer or teamster. Soaked in water,
it becomes timber quickly and will tie
harness, wagon or other things to-
gether and hold them firmly, whether
wet or dry. When it dries, it shrinks,
binding more firmly than over. On
the treeless, rainless wastes of the
Southwest, where fercest sun and
constant drying winds would shrink
the tire from any wheels used in moist
climates, the raw hide tire is indis-
pensable, because the dryer it gets
the closer it sticks If after q long
wear the tire is found loose, o new one
can be quickly whipped about the
wheel at night, ready to start with in
the morning. For belt laces, traces
and other harness straps, chair bot
toms and innumarable other places
where hard wear is demanded the raw
hide with the hair exposed, or turned
in out of sight, is Invaluable and could
be used in the older States oftentimes
with great advantage. Or these skins
may be "tawed," as the process is
called where the hair or fur is pre-
served, and no fannie acid is used.
This is done by spreading a mixture
of fpely powdered salt and alum il
equal quantities upon the moist flesl
side and doubling one, or laying pair
flesh side together The hides are
left thus for several days, when they
seem to have become something lik,
leather. They are then stripped
scraped, rubbed with chalk and pun
ice stone until smooth, and pulled ono
scraped while drying to make then

The Chameleon Spider.

''It has always been hobby OF
mine" said r. l.. Grimshaw, OF
Raleigh, N. O., "to collect strange
bugs and insects during my travels,
and think have succeeded in get
ting together pretty choice colleo-
tion. OF the whole assortmentI think
the chameleon spider, which l got last
summer on the coast OF Africa, is the
most valuable. The capture of this
insect was highly interesting to me.
One afternoon, while tramping along
dusty road, noticed in the bushes
which grew along the side what ap-
peared to be singula '-looking white
flower, with blue centre. Stopping
to examine it i found, to my astonIsh-
ment, that 1t was not flower at all,
but spiders web, and that the sup
posed light blue heart of the flower
was the spider itself, lying in wait for
it's prey. The mottled brown legs OF
the spider we're extended in such a
way as to resemble the divisions be-
tween the petals of flower.
"The web itself, very delicately
woven into rosette pattern, was
white, and the threads that suspended
il from the bushes were so fine as To
be almost invisible. The whole thing
had the appearance of being suspend
ed in the air upon a stem concealed
beneath. Upon knocking the spider
from his perch into the white gauze
net which carried, my surprise was
greatly increased by seeing my cap
tive instantly turn in color from blue
to white. shook the net, and again
tho spider changed color, this time itt
body becoming a dull greenish brown.
As often as l would shake the net just
so often would the spider change its
color, and kept it up until it had as
sumed about every hue of the rain
bow. st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
