Doing His Part.

"You have an elegant and spacious
home !" said the pastor to the wealthy
member of his congregation. "You have
books, piano, daughter who can sing
and play, and everything to make home
alluring. Why don't you throw your
house open some evening in the week
for the benefit of the homeless young
men? You might save many one.''

SPRING CHICKENS.
Poultry Men Must Keep Up with Mod
ern Methods of Living.


Our modern methods of living are
changing our farming in many particu-
lars, says James S. Smith in the Boston
Cultivator. The demand is now for
early spring lamb and chickens in Feb
ruary and March. Fine, tender broilers
at this season are naturally high priced,
and it is this which induces poultry
raisers to prepare the feast for those
who can afford to pay for it. Early
spring chickens have to be raised in the
winter season, and to do this requires
certain expert knowledge that is the
price of success,
! Spring chickens at so cents pound
are profitable, and even at much less
than this one can find money in the
business. Besides, it gives the poultry
grower work to do at what is generally
considered lazy season of the year. In
fact, there is more money today in rails
ing spring chickens and winter eggs
than in any other branch of this bust
ness. Those who stick to the beaten
tracks are the ones who never make
great deal out of their enterprise. But
spring chickens, and it is we'll that this
is so, for otherwise the business would
soon be overdone. 1t takes shrewd bust
ness tact, exact knowledge and careful
application of that knowledge to make
the work profitable.
In the first place, one must have a
warm house suitable for the chickens.
r. doov not +aka q Iaruo ono A aooor,
modate 100 chickens, but it must be
warm, we'll ventilated and even in tenn
perature. This is the first requisite.
The house should be located so that it
will receive the sun through the glass
most of the day. The sitters must be
selected for their success in Matching
eggs, and those that show an inclination
to neglect the eggs should be discarded.
The sitters must be fed separately when
off the nest SO they will not be bothered
and worried by the others.
The sitting house should be darker
than the main room, and the nests
should be arranged in rows. Each hen
will learn to know her own nest. Wa
ter as well as food must be provided the
hens daily. When the chicks are hatch
ed, they must be kept together in small
colonies free from cold winds and
storms. They must be kept growing all
the time, and good food, water and
clean surroundings will accomplish this.
Warm mush bread, oatmeal and scraps
from the table should be their chief
daily diet. New hatohings should be
made all of the time, SO that younger
chicks will take the place of those sent
to market

brave men, but the utterancesof men
of prejudice and hate and evidences
OF the existence of spirit that has
died out in every other section of the
country. History of the civil war is
not overloaded with the achievements
of Col. Dammars or Mr.. French, and
no man with a disposition to nurse
a grievance for "a years, especially
after solid reunion of the north and
south, and in the face of the fact that
brave men everywhere have become
reconciled, ever could have amounted
to much in war or peace, or ever will
be entitled to position among brave
men, or be of advantage to any com
munity in which he may live. The
places of such men are in the ranks of
towards. Talk about Wheeler being
a rebel! Those men who are trying
to stir up a sectional feeling after
these long years of peace deserve to
be called rebels to-day as Wheeler
was in 1861 if their homes are in Mass
achusetts. The country never was
more thoroughly united, and the man
who attempts to divide it is a traitor
and unworthy of respect or consider

IT Is reported that Mr.. German
would be willing to accept the nomi-
nation for the presidency. Is his
nomination among the possibilities?
| 1t must be recognized that candidates
for the presidency are not made for
the ability of the man but for party
e1pediency. Political history will
show that this has been the condition
| down long line of the successful
candidates. Party expediency de-
mands many things, among them the
possibility that the candidate will
swing his own state into line for the
party. The value of the man has
thus been igauged by the number of
votes cast by the electors of the state.
In this direction the votes of Mary
land would be insignificant. This
feature of the matter was lost sight of
when Bryan was nominated.
Up to this time there have been but
two men mentioned in connection
with the the Democratic nomination,
German and Bryan. Neither has
much to show in electoral votes. AS
to ability there is no question but
that German is head and shoulders
above the western silver advocate.
Bryan's political ideas are radical,
those of German conservative Bryan
is the enemy of all corporations and
German is a member of many. The
radical in office is always dangerous,
but the Democratic party has shown
in the past that it is not likely to take
such a small matter into considera-
ton. Bryan's state casts two more
electoral votes than Maryland, so
that is likely to have little attention.
Bryan has been defeated, German
has many bitter enemies in the party.
There is a strong sentiment in the
party for Bryan. With these condi-
lions there is little difference between
the possibilities of the two men.
Should third party appear on the
scene there would likely be little hope
for either.

Farm Buildings.

1t is a source Of much regret that
so little taste should be displayed by
a majority of our farmers in the cree
ton of buildings. The beauty and
value of place can be largely in
creased by paying a proper attention
to the style of architecture. A we'll
planned building, one that suggests
pleasant ideas of harmonious proper
tions and fitness for the purposes
intended, costs no more than an i'll
ventilated, ugly, lonesome-windowed,
bare, bald, monotonous-looking house,
that in summer makes one feel hot
and in winter cold.
Every one knows the agreeable SEN
sations produced by pleasant cot
tage empowered amid forest trees,
with a cheerful variety and inter
mingling of colors, showing the light
and shade by it's Irregularities. A
cottage of this kind should never be
painted white or black, but some
neutral color, with trimmings white
and blinds some subdued color. The
outbuildings should be made to
heighten the effect by being subordi.
nate in proportion and color to the
main building. A little attention
paid to the principles of architecture
would not only save money, but
would add largely to the convenience
beauty and value of the farm.

A House Burned.

Last Thursday night the old log
house on ex-Judge Henry G. Sanders
farm south of Oakland was set on fire
by a lamp exploding, thus igniting
the wood work on the interior of the
building which was entirely con
sumed. The structure was large
one and built of logs and was used for
storage purposes in which was stored
small farming implements, bacon,
powder, dynamite, etc. The lamp
which exploded was used to furnish
heat for an incubator and at the time
Judge Sanders family was asleep.
Luckily they were aroused before the
fire gained much Roadway and sue
ceeded in removing the dynamite
from the building. The powder was
set off but did no damage to any other
property. The loss sustained is esti-
mated by Judge Sanders as being
about $500.

man of Grantsville, has torn down
the old and well-known National Ho-
tel, and is now replacing it with a
more modern and commodious build
ing, one that will be an up-to-date

A deed has recently been placed on
record in the office Of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court for this county which
conveys the Glades Hotel to the Real
Estate and Improvement Company of
Baltimore, instead of to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company as re-
ported at the time the sale took place
What connection the real estate com
pany has with the railroad company
is not known but it has been under
stood by some of the business men in
Oakland that it is the intention of
the railroad company to convert the
grounds surrounding the hotel into a
yard for tracks in the very near
future. A new track will be laid
through the grounds to tap the main
line at the crossing at Second street
and running by straight line
through the Oakland Hotel grounds
to point near the Washington
Spring, there connecting with the
track as now built. This straighten-
ing of the main line will eliminate
two very bad curves over which all
trains are now obliged to pass The
new track will be used for passenger
service whilst the old track will be
used for local freight service eNclu-
siyely.

Oakland and near Bittinger. and com
prising 1000 acres, had sold the same
to W. s. Taylor, of Philadelphia, for
$4,000. The report also states that
the intention of the present owner is
to build a narrow guage railroad from
the land to Swanton, distance of
about twelve miles, erect saw mills on
the land and transport the manufac-
tured timber by rail to the above
point where it will be shipped to mar
ket over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Joseph S. Bayard, who
recently purchased large tract of

reference to the fall election. 1t said
that the advantages of the issues

of its splendid record. Commenting
on the gubernatorial situation the
Herald said:

publicans. His disposition of the
finances and his opposition to the
spoils system have won for him the
commentator of the best element in
the party. Upon the record he has
made Republicans need not hesitate
to ask for his reelection. The lead
ers are now beginning to realize that
he is their logical candidate, and the
indications are there will be no oppo-
,sition to his denomination Indeed.
there is no other candidate now in

Memorial Day.

As we drift away from the War OF
the Rebellion, along the tide of time,
and the veterans yearly become fewer
and fewer in number, the grateful
memory of their deeds remains I'M
dimmed. Tuesday Decoration Day
was observed with general acclaim.
1t has been changed by triumphant
wave of returning brotherhood into a
national observance. In Tuesdays
Baltimore Ne1CS we find the following
poetical recognition of "a New Me-
mortal Day." which reflects the uni
versal sentiment
By the sob of the Southern rivers,
By the sigh of the Northern hills.
To the tender tune of the soft tattoo,
While the ruffiled drum-beat thrills
The heart of a common nation
With a common sorrow to-day,
Let roses fall, for one and all,
On the graves of the Blue and Gray!
Clasp hands forever and ever
There are no sections now,
They are one and one in the new faith won
From the faith of patriot vow.
The wounds that were wide and bitter
Are healed by the touch to-day
OF the tender fingers of love that press
Rose wreaths for the Blue and Gray!
They are calling the veteran legions
Who march from the fields of the past;
They are calling the brave young heroes
Who are one with the old ones at last;
| And the flag they are marching under
Is my flag and your flag to-day
The stripes and the stars of Old Glory,
The flag of the Blue and the Gray!
Bend down with your blossoms, We living
| Sleep on in your silence, We dead
! The bugles are mute, the drums muftied,
The columns swing slow in their. tread;
But the North and the South march together
They are under one banner to-day,
And they pluck the white roses of remem-
brance
Alike for the Blue and the Gray!
For the graves that are green with the YER
dure
OF the years that have healed with theil
song
| The sting and the stain and the anger,
The passion, the pride and the wrong;
For the graves with the fresh turf upon them
Those young graves that call us to-day,
With the rose-wreaths of common affection
Made one for the Blue and the Gray
The newer wars in which North anC
South have stood shoulder to shout
der, acknowledging common devo
ton to the Union and the flag, seen
to have drained the last drop of bit
terness from the heart of the nation
and to have made the yearly tribute
of affection for the dead a triumphan
proof of restored amity. Over thu
