The following charge was made to the jury.
Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen Of the grand
jury:
Gentlem en- you have been chosen and en-
paneled as citizens OF Hartford county and
| citizens of the State OF Maryland to perform
| very important duty to your county and to
| the State.
| Itis customary for the Court to charge the
Grand Jury as to their duties. In this case,
l do not think there is any occasion for
special charge from the Court to you in that
| respect. Many of you, know, have been
called upon for similar duties heretofore and
| are, therefore, acquainted with those duties.
The duties that you are to perform are as
clearly described in the oath which you have
just taken, as they could be by any words
that could give you. You are not acting as
| individuals, but as representatives Of the
State. You are to leave no one unpre
sented for fear, favor of affection; and you
are to present all cases as they come to your
| knowledge, for action by the court. You are
not to try cases, but you to investigate
cases that are brought to your attention and
to determine whether there is sufficient evil
dence to send them to court for trial by a
petit jury.
Now, gentlemen, this, to some extent, is 1
peculiar term of court As you kEOw, for
for two weeks we have been delayed by the
condition of the roads; it has been impossible
to get jury men here and witnesses here; for
| two weeks the court has been della Sed. In
some counties of the State the term of court
has been abandoned; that is, 1t was adjourned
over until the next term; they abandoned the
February term entirely, in one Of the counties,
at least, and probably more. | thought II
was best instead Of abandoning 1t, to post.

might be cases where the public welfare

1t Is difficult to feed cut cornfodder
so as to have it all eaten, and the diff
Guilty is increased if there are nubbins
OF corn in the cut fodder to scatter
grains through it. Cattle and horses
will nose this over to get the grains
OF corn, and when the fodder has been
thus nosed over only the small, fine
pieces will be eaten. The better way
IS to grind the nubbins. corn and cob
together, and apply this to the fodder
after it has been moistened by steam.
In this way most of the cut fodder will
be eaten, and what is left can be made

A WORN HATCHERY.
etiii.ed to Advantage ~ one es The
Sources Of Food for Gr0wing
ChlckenO.

During the fall and winter whenever
we cleaned out our henhouses we threw
the cleanings in one corner Of our gar
den lot, writes H. B. Geer in the Agri-
cultural Epitomist. We used mill
sweepings. wheat chaff. short straw,
ETC.. In the houses for scratching pur-
poses. All Of these, together with the
chicken manure, made quite compost
heap. that heated inside like the manure
pile at the back Of the country stable
usually does.
In removing the stun for fertilizing
purposes to the garden in the spring
we noticed . great many worms and
grubs at the base of the heap. Our
young chickens were right at our heels
every time we turned the compost or
broke the earth beneath it, scratching
and working away after the vermn
that infested the lower part Of the heap.
They would go also of their own accord
after each shower in the spring of the
year and work industriously in the
heap.
This led us to investigate further,
and also to leave good part Of the
refuse in heap for them TO scratch
over. We discovered on digging down
about six inches that the earth beneath
the edges of the heap was honeycombed
with holes made by what the boys call
fishworms, and that whenever it rained
and the sun came out later the worms
came to the surface. and then the chicks
would scratch down little and get
them. At the top of the ground where
the fertilizer lay there were "a great lot
of very small red worms and n great
many white grubs.
After taking a good view of the situ-
alton we decided to foster our worm
hatchery and to utilize ii as one of the
sources of food for our little chickens
In warm. showery weather il yields
abundantly, but in dry spells the worms
seem to go deeper into the earth, and
can then be obtained by deep digging
only.

Cold Storage of Eggs.

Cold storage enables those who
handle large numbers Of eggs to hold
them until prices are higher. which Is
regarded unfavorably by farmers who
have fresh eggs for sale. On the other
side. the cold storage Of eggs relieves
the market of the surplus stock when
prices are low, which. at least, prevents
loss to some. The fact Is. however,
that the farmer who has strictly fresh
eggs can always get good prices for
them If he will build up trade for him.
