Meatino oftha school BOARD ..The schoo

Meeting ofthe School Board. The School
Board met at Towson on Wednesday, the pres
ident, Mr.. Thomas B. Todd in the chair, and
Mr.. John 7. Hershner. secretary, in the alb
sence of Prof. Cook, who is still confined to
his house.
Messrs. Stokes, Everding and Cranston,
trustees of the public school at Govanstown,
came before the Board and Rev. Mr. Stokes
explained why they had notified the present
principal Mr.. John T. Thompson, to vacate
the position at the close of the term, November
10th. He said that petition had been re-
ceived by the trustees asking for q reopening
OF the case, which was granted, and that a
hearing would be given the petitioners this
week.
Mr.. Rufus K. Wood, of Sparrow's Point,
made several suggestions in regard to the kin
dergarten school at that place, and the Board
decided to visit Sparrow s Point next Monday.
Mr.. E. w. Herman, on behalf of the citizens
of Lutherville who are asking for new school
building, wanted to know if the Board would
authorize trade being made for the school
lot now owned by the Board on the York road,
near Lutherville, for what is considered more
eligible location nearer the village. The Board
consented to such arrangement being made.
Miss Ida L. NJ. Held, of Towson, will re-
main teacher of School s, district g. Chestnut
Ridge. Mr.. E. B. Foard, one of the two trus-
tees who signed contract with Miss Catherine
R. Brown said he had found that the charges
against Miss Held were erroneous and that he
withdrew shame from the order of dismissal.
Mr.. Brown, of Lutherville, father of Miss
Brown, appeared at the Office and said that
neither he nor his daughter desired a change
to be made under the circumstances.
Mr.. Krout submitted an order to the effect
that hereafter an assistant teacher shall be ap-
pointed whenever any school has an average
of 40 pupils and that an additional teacher
shall be appointed for every 40 pupils. The
order was amended and. afterward, on motion
of Mr.. Wilson, was laid over until the next
meeting in order to give the Commissioners
time to ascertain the additional expenditures
in salaries should the order be adopted.
Upon the recommendation of Mr.. Krout the
Board decided to establish a school at limo
mum. 1t was represented that the school
would have 80 pupils and that there were 40
children in the neighborhood who did not now
sc to school. The proposition of Mr.. Cher
BONNER to rent room for school purposes at
So per month was accepted, and it was decided
to open the school on November 10Th.
A delegation present recommended the ap-
pointment of j. Bailey Logan as teacher of the
above school. The Board decided that the ap-
pointment of the teacher was to be made by
the Commissioner of the district in which the
school is to be located. Mr.. James B. Ensor
appointed Mr.. Logan.
Mr.. Hershner submitted statement show
ing that the salaries paid for the half term en-
ded October 18th aggregated $40, o19 % and that
the bills paid from the commencement of the
present term, September LIST. to the present
time amounted to S14, 472.35.
Feeding Cattle for Beef. This was the
subject discussed at the last meeting of the
Junior Gunpowder Agricultural Club. We
append the views of some of the members !:
Mr. Charles H. Price said lone must feed
corn to make fat. plenty of hay and an album
dance of water. Ofground feed 15to 16 pounds
per head per day can be given. One cent per
pound over cost price should be realized as
profit. We should feed that which will pro-
duce flesh and bone. If we commence with
the calf it should be kept fat and growing.
Let the calf stay on the cow for two weeks,
and for six weeks be fed milk and allowed to
Craze some, and then put out to pasture. Early
calves get through the summer better than late
calves"
Mr.. D. S. Pearce said cit is important to
make careful selection of feeds, and to put the
feed where you can get the best results. 1t is
we'll to have balanced ration. In feeding
calves give bran, oats and clover hay. They
will learn to eat very early if the feed is in their
reach. Give the calves all they will eat and
force them in growth"
MIR. Benjamin NJ. Brooks said: II have had
but little experience in fattening cattle. Corn
is important. Keep cattle thrifty right along.
1t is said that beef can be made by feeding fod-
der alone"
+.
clover hay and fodder should be fed for beef"
Mr.. James B. Ensor said: my experience
is that you must watch your cattle carefully.
Much depends on the man who feeds as to the
net profit. Mixed hay is better than clover.
Nubbins, ground corn, bran and some cotton
seed meal should be given. l put on 240
pounds in four months. One cannot fatten
steer well under four months. The stables
should be cleaned every day. The feeding of
provender at home gives good market price
for the produce"
Mr.. Charles H. Price said: STABLES should
be kept clean. have kept some cattle 80 days
which did better than those kept 120 days"
Mr. Granville Matthews said: II know it
paws to feed cattle we'll. 1 think ground bar
ley is a good feed. found that green corn
gave good results in feeding it."
Mr.. John B. Miles said "Ithink oneshould
watch the cattle he is feeding and feed accord
ing to what is eaten and how it pays on the in
dividual steer"
Carron county and the Mink Producers
Association.-A letter from Westminster
dated October Goth says: IA meeting of the
Carroll county stockholders in the United
Milk Producers Association of Baltimore was
held in this city this afternoon at which A.
Y. Dolfield and Edward S. Kines of Baltimore
their counsel, were present and explained Mr.
Dolfield's plan of reorganization. The plan
was generally accepted by the stockholders
and milk shippers present, most of whom
signed the releases necessary to make the plan
operative. Two releases were signed-one of
the receivers, Theo. f. Wilcox and William
B. Crowther, by which they are released from
all claims against the association, or them as
receivers, and the other of the association of a
similar nature; provided they, the stock
holders and creditors signing said release to be
paid not less than IL cents per gallon for all
milk heretofore shipped to the receivers, and a
price not less than IL cents per gallon, payable
lev For hnrooffor ohinnn1 hof
they shall receive second-mortgage bonds of
said association bearing per cent. interest
PAYABLE semi-annually to the amount of the
claims released that the stock now held by
them shall be recognized by the reorganized
company, and that the present officers shall
resign their offices upon such reorganization
the same to be filled by election.
IA petition to the judge of Circuit Court No.
of Baltimore was also signed by the stock
holders present, asking for extension of the
time of hearing petitions for the appointment
of a coreceiver and also delay ordering sale of
the assets, The sentiment of those present
