Selecting Layers.

1t is true that there is no infallble
rule for selecting the best layers in
flock of hens, but there are few indica-
tions that show which hens are probably
the best layers. | say probably, for the
rule does not always work, and excep-
tlonS to 1t are not rare.
Ii will be understood by this that
only give these rules from observations
among my own focks and from my own
personal experience.
The most active hens in the flock are
usually the best layers. The hen who
stands ready to run out Of the house in
the morning AS soon as the door opens,
and flies at the feed as if she were starry
ing, is the one that will produce the
most eggs, commonly. Such hen will
not stand around in the sun after eating
her morning feed, but will be seen far
away from the house foraging for food.
She is the hen that sings as she goes
about, and is the one who will find her
way into the garden if she can possibly
get there.
A large comb is sign of good layer.
By this, mean large comb for the
breed she belongs to. Almost invaria-
bly,, the Leghorn hen that has large,
thin NIB that droops down over one
eye will be found to be good layer.
The comb of a good layer is of bright
red all the time she is laying, and as soon
as it becomes pale or dark-colored, you
may be sure she has ceased to Jay.
The good layer is rather narrow across
the shoulder and wide in the rump, with
the rear of her body deep and low. Her
feathers are glossy and her eyes bright,
and she is full of life and action. # a
hen possesses all these indications there is
not much danger in picking her for a
breeder, as she will almost always be
prolific, and eggs produced by her will
be fertile and the chicks strong and Wig

HONOR TO THE BRAVE.

Cecil County soldiers were numbered
among the noble Maryland -Four Hundred,
who so bravely sacrificed their lives at the
battle of Long Island, in order that the
american Army might live. And Cecil
county-it is gratifying to know-did her
part toward the erection of the monument
in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, commend
rative of the deed, and to mark the resting
places Of the noble dead. The monument
was erected by the Maryland Society, Sons
of the American Revolution, and was
dedicated on Tuesday with impressive
ceremony in which the citizens of New
York Joined with a will.

charge equal in bravery to that of the

A Productive Farm.

The "Elk Landing. farm on which Mr.
Malvern Jones of Elkton has been the tenant
for twelve years or moic is one of the most
productive farms in the county. The crop of
wheat this year exceeded thirty bushels per
acre. and the same yield has been repeatedly
obtained.
For til" past five years the wheat crop has
averaged over twenty five bushels per acre
The iehtrst crop grown within the time
named was about twenty one bushels per
acre. the crop throughout tn" country being
very poor. With the sirgl" exception of one
year, the wheat crop on this farm has been
fertilized with Sure Growth Super phosphate
for sixteen years. The hay crops have
averaged we'll up with the wheat. the pro-
portion OF this years crop for sale being fully
one hundred tons
No competent agricultural authority will
deny the fact that land will grow poor from
the continued use OF rock phosphate. us the
soil is robbed by every crop OF the essential
elements of plant food, Ammonia and Potash
Not II trace of these are supplied by
rock phosphate. A complete high grade
fertilizer such as Sure Growth Superphos-
phate. supplies these valuable elements in
liberal proportions, and while it produces
larger and bettercrops, it constantly improves
the soil, without costing any more for the
labor of blowing, drilling, harvesting etc.
than the poorest stuff manufactured.

MR.. LOWNDES' CAMPAIGN.

Hon. Lloyd Lowndes in his letter OF
acceptance promises the people OF Mary
land, in case of his election as Governor,
the very reforms they so much need: Local
self government. political liberty, the
prompt passage of Il re-assessment law that
will recognize the depreciation in value OF
our farming lands and the diminishing
value of our farm products, limit to the
power to pledge the public credit, fair
elections, quadrennial registration in the
counties, with an annual revision of the
lists, the placing of our public schools
under local control, removed from political
influences. free school books, education
brought within the reach Of the humblest
child, without money and without price,
civil service reform, a government By tie
people and for the people.
Mr.. Lowndes letter is a manly, straight
forward declaration in which he meets
every issue squarely and unequivocally,
and pledges himself to carry out the prom
Uses made in the platform adopted by the
Republican State Convention. 1t bears
the stamp of sincerity and waves partizan-
ship, its object being the accomplishment
of those results which will contribute
toward the public good. Its public and
patriotic spirit will meet the approval OF
every fair citizen without reference tC
party lines. He fully endorses the prin.
ciples of the national Republican party
and favors such system of finance as
will give to the people of our country a
sound national currency, redeemable at
the pleasure OF the holder in that coin
which is the standard of value of the
great commercial nations of the world. y
In conclusion he says:
with high sense of the demands and
responsibilities of the office of Governor of
Maryland, and fully realizing and appreci-
ating the lofty public sentiment which
has so promptly and favorably responded
to my nomination to that great office, |
promise, with a firm reliance on Divine
Providence, if elected, to execute its duties
as IL sacred trust for the benefit of the
whole people of our State. ="

WILL YOU HAVE REFORM?

This is year Of political reform. Com
bines and corrupt political rings must flee
before the avenging hand of the long i'm
posed upon people. In Maryland the
corrupt political ring of German, Rasin
Mahon and such men, must be wiped out by
the Republican party. The citizens of Balti-
more need not be told that they are i'm
posed upon by the Democratic bosses. The
citizens of Cecil county need not be told
that they have political boss whose aim
is self. They need not be told that the
Democratic county ticket was made at his
dictation. Won't it carry out his wishes
and desires?
As the minority party the Republican
State organization looks to the independent
Democrat for help. He must cast the de-
Gliding die. If we are to have reform III
Maryland we must have Republican sue
cess And the prospects are bright. From
all over the State are coming assurances OF
support Ex-Governor William Pinckney
Whyte, a Democrat of position and ability,
a man OF loyalty to his State, has declared
his intention to give his best efforts to
accomplish the defeat of German, and rid
MARYLAND from his autocratic sway. Citi-
zens of Cecil county consider well how you

F0rdS Grand Opera House Week of
September ID, "Our Flat.n

Sst oui
Our Flat is a bright sparkling farce. which
holds one of the best records for long runs, it
is now being played in London at the Strand
Theatre with remarkable success, where it is
thought to be the funniest and beet of all
comedies of that class. Its previous record
ut the same theatre was 78O nights The
play was first given in America by Dan'l
Frohman, Lyceum Theatre, n. Y. where it
ran 100 nights, and had to | e taken Off in the
height OF its success in order to fill engage
Inents previously made. 1t toured America
under Mr.. Frohman's management, and
made an immense hit in all cities visited.
Unlike most present day farces Our Flat has
plot. and is the happy possessor of that
subtle and finer humor which has character
lied the plays of its class previously pre-
sented, it is fast and furious in its humor and
interesting in its story. The company
presenting Our Flat is exceptionally strong.
1t is headed by that charming comedienne
and favorite, Emily Bancker. who has won
renown rs a beautiful woman and an accomp
lished and finished actress Miss Bancker
began with Rosina Nokes, then became a
member of the Frohman forces. Last season
her first stellar performances were as
Glorana in which she won the highest praise.
This season in Our Flat, she is looked upon
as one o! Americas brightest stars. The
assocating company deserves the repu-
tatlon OF the leading opponents of light
comedy.

A CUES TION.

Here is question for the Cecil county
taxpayers. Why does not Hon. Charles
c. Crothers resign as State Senator and save
the county the expense of a special election,
now that he is the nominee for the office of
Attorney General on the Democratic ticket :?
If he resigns as State Senator his successor
can be voted for at the November election,
and the expense of special election
avoided. The people of Cecil county have
no money to throw away in special cleo
tions. The recent County Treasurer dis.
pute, as a result of Democratic factiona
strife was a costly matter which the tax
payers can hardly relish, and now Mr.
Crothers evidently proposes to put them to
the expense of a special election-in case he
is elected Attorney-General. If Mr.. Cla-
baugh is elected the tan payers save money.
This is a matter for consideration. Mr..
Crothers should resign as State Senator.
