1t is Singular that so many farmers will
risk crop with seed of which they know
little or nothing, writes n. j. Shepperd in
Journal Of Agriculture Wheat, corn and
oats are usually grown on the farm, and a
sufficient amount is saved out for seed
but with clover, grasses, and nearly all
kinds of garden seed, and more or less of
what is needed in the truck patch is pur-
chased, and often ii is planted without
any effort being made TO test the quality.
When it is considered that good seed is
absolutely necessary TO the growing of a
good crop, it can hardly be considered
good economy to risk a crop with seed I'M
til II has been tested. 1t is compare
lively easy matter to take certain num-
Der OF seeds Of any kind and plant them in
shallow boxes, keep warm and moist
for few days, and then
examine closely and ascertain how
many have terminate" 1t is important
IN examining, to =. -Ow vigorous the
plants sent up are, -: this is necessary in
determining the quality of the seed. Some
seed will terminate under what may be
considered favorable conditions, but the
plant sent up will be so unthrifty as to be
but little better han no plant
There are so many cases that tend to
iniure the vitality of seed, that with a
large per cent of tho seeds purchased, it
Will be found good economy to test care
fully before risking the crop, and in nearly
all cases this should be done in time so
that if the seed proves not to be good
quality there will be time enough to secure
more. Failing TO secure a good stand
often makes a considerable difference in
the yield of the crop, and under present
conditions the safest rule is TO lessen the
risks of failure as much as possible, and
the careful testing of the seed in good
season before planting, is an important
item in doing this.

THOSE M'GLYNN RUMoRs.

There is no truth whatever in reports
which have been circulated in New York
that Or. Edward McGlyun will be n can
didate for Office this fall. This is the
the third time that the name of this emf
nent clergyman has been associated with
rumors of such nature, when, as a mat
ter OF fact, he has never sought or author
lied any one to seek in his name for
government or state post of any kind, de-
spite assertions to the contrary But it
is interesting to note, what seems to have
escaped general notice, that there is
likelihood of high personal honor being
conferred upon the famous priest by the
Pope at date not later than the coming
autumn. So eminent is he now at
the Vatican that Leo himself frequently
mentions in eulogistic terms the work he
is now engaged in and hopes that he may
long continue it. II is well known that
the only reason the holy father did not
issue a bull elevating the churchmen TO
the dignity Of the monsicnorate was a
regard for the imperial deliberation Of all
Vatican proceedings. Even to this day
DR.. McGlynn does not know of the hon
ors in store for him, as such matters are
not revealed TO a priest until they are
accomplished facts.
II may be stated on unimpeaehable

The MARYLAND Legislature
adjourned on last Monday night at
the hour of twelve o'clock. The
session which has now passed into
history was one Of the most exppn-
sive ones for a large number Of
wears, the appropriations aggregat-
ing the sum Of S1G3, 500.
The members Of the Legislature
from this county succeeded in hay
ing passed several bills of merit,
among them being the SPECIAL
appropriation for school purposes
and the dill granted the voters of
the county the privilege of issuing
bonds with which to erect and equip
school buildings.
The ,mocratic members from
different sections of the State never
went to the Legislature with more
of promise and returned with less
of performance.
There WAS one promise that was
general, but which has been some
what discounted by previous mis-
carriages. The Democrats have
been promising re-assessments So long
that it m lkes one feel old to recall
when it first began to figure in their
platforms There was the usual
fight this wear, and the bill was
defeated with the same despatch
that the Chinese dispose of Il criml-
nHi-nothing was SAID and the head
was promptly and neatly cut off,
leaving large number of explana-
tions to be made to those who want
to know more about the why and
wherefore.
The sins of omission were many
and serious. The Good Roads law,
winch everybody except one or two
omniscicnt legislators wanted, was
defeated, and nothing WAS done to
bring immigration to the State.
There was most lamentable lack
of enterprise aud public spirit, 1t
would be pleasant to say that the
deeds of commission balanced the
account. but truth will not allow it.
1t is great pity that so much
money was wasted to accomplish so
little.

Early POSTAGE Rates.

Postage Was luxury III 1916. 1t
miles or less; from thirty one to
eighty mlles the charge Was ten cts;
rom eighty -one TO 30 miles, twelve
aud ont-nalf cents; from Isl 10 400
miles, eighteen and three fourth cts.
and over 400 miles, twenty five cts.
hest rates were IN force until 1915,
when LS sander SpOouer, OF Boston,
decided W run mail route between
boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, III opposition to
the government. lie conteuded that
the government had no constitutional
right 10 prevent by law private in
dvlduals from carrying The mails,
so he established his route chars ing
five cents per letter.
Inc legal part of the question
seems never to have been decided,
but congress appears to have re-
duced the postal rate chiefly to avoid
competition. The rate was made as
follows: Under 800 miles, five cents !;
over 800 miles, ten cents, drop let
tiers, Two cents.
This rate held for SIX years, when
the three-cent prepaid rate for 5000
miles was established, Ii the pos
tage was not prepaid, five cents was
collected Of the person who received
the letter. For Il distance over
5000 miles the rates Were doubled.
In 1883 letter postage was again
reduced to two cents per nalf ounce,
and III 1885 to two cents per ounce.

SELBYsPoRT, MD, March 80.
To the Editor ofrhe Republican.
Our people have not as yet given
much attention or thought to the
question as to who shall be nomi-
mated for Congress this fall. In
my judgment it is time that Garrett
county should present the name of
one of her sons for that honor.
We have men of ability in the
county who would represent the
district with credit. not only to
themselves but with honor to their
constituents. Most prominent
among these are Mr.. George W.
Wilson, Mr.. Edw I'd II. Sincell
and Col. A. g. Sturgiss, anyone of
whom would make a good Represen-
tative. 1t is time that the Repub-
licans of Garrett county claim
recognition.
Yours truly,
A REPUBLICAN,.

Consideration for Pensioners

The Hon. john NJ. Reynolds, us
slstant secretary of the interior,
lays down a just principle in the
matter of pensions in a decision
recently rendered, and which re-
verses a former ruling. Mr.. Rev.
nolds was dealing with case which
came under an act of Congress pro-
viding that in case a minor child is
insane, idiotic, or otherwise perman-
emily helpless, pension shall con-
tinue during the life of said child
or during the period of such disabl-
ity.
In commenting upon the former
ruling the secretary said; at
would seem that little further than
careful reading of the act itself
would be sufficient to demonstrate
the fact that this law has been mis-
construed to the grievous harm of
class of the nations dependents
who should receive. as the law IN
tended they should the most benev-
client consideration"
The tendency of recent rulings
has been in the opposite direction,
and it is gratifying to note "A decis-
ion which lays down the principle
that pensioners are entitled to
"benevolent consideration. p"

GOOD GRADING IMPORTANT.
Points in Roadbuilding Where the
Practice of Economy is Costly.

Practice of Economy is Costly.
Macadamized roads on extremely
steep grades or on extremely fiat
ones are difficult to maintain in
good condition and create constant
expense. The steep grade is of
course objectionable to traffic from
the fact that it places a limit to the
maximum load that can be hauled
over the road without additional
hauling power. One such grade on
road may involve the necessity of
sending a tow team with every
heavily laden wagon. Many of
these extra teams will have to travel
several miles to and from the steep
grade in question simply for the
purpose of assisting the load up
that one hill. You can readily
figure the annual loss to the midi
viduals and determine at once
whether the expenditure OF COM
paratively large amount would not
have been judicious, in view of the
fact that permanent saving would
have been effected forever there
after. But the steep grade. besides
being Objectionable and costly, adds
another element of expense, in that
it increases the cost of maintenance.
1t is liable to be secured by heavy
rains. The sliding movement of
descending vehicles is injurious to
it, especially if brakes are used, and
the heavy paving of the horses in
their efforts to draw their loads
assists in destroying the surface.
All these combined will necessitate
frequent attention to that roadbed,
an expense that will be permanent.
On the other hand, level stretches
are equally difficult to maintain in
good condition, from the fact that,
as they are not washed by rains,
dust and mud accumulate on them.
The mud forms channels, from
which the water cannot escape
laterally, and through lack of fall
neither can it flow longitudinally.
The result is that it remains on the
roadbed, softens it, ruts follow, and
u permanent expense is again in
Cured for the maintenance Of the
section. 1t will therefore be real
lied that economy in grading can
be false economy of the worst kind.
Really good macadamized roads
will never be realized here until
they, like all other things that we
own and care to keep in good con-
dltion, receive proper treatment at
the hands of those using them.
Just so long as drivers continue to
drive III one continuous track with
heavily Laden wagons, so that the
: calked hoOfs Of team after team are
picking the road loose in one narrow
lane while the wheels are pounding
and rutting it at each SIDE as a suit

ton, just so long you need not look
for economical roads, because the
