Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


HAGERSTOWN, Md, April 49, 1901.
1t is said in railroad and financial cir
cles here that the syndicate Of New York.
Philadelphia and Baltimore capitalists
which has been negotiating for the West
ern Maryland railroad, backed by the
Philadelphia and Reading Company, will
also bid to secure control Of all, or a
portion of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
should a sale of that waterway be or
dered by the court. The Western Mary
land would become a strong rival Of the
baltimore and Ohio in the bituminous coal
trade could 1t secure the canal for a
.roadbed from Cherry Run to Cumberland.
The Baltimore and Ohio has offered $685.
600 for the canal, and West Virginia Cen
trail, $500, 900.
The Western Maryland Railroad Com
pany Is losing no time in making the inn
Chambersburg. The company has already
awarded the contracts for construction.
The peach growers of the South noun
tain peach belt are in excellent humor over
the promised peach crop. There VIII be
fewer peaches gathered from the trees this
year than last. but they promise to be
larger and of more luscious taste. The
decrease in the yield Of fruit will be due,
in great part, to San Jose scale. Energetic
efforts saved many trees from ruin by this
disease, but it was only apparent that
many could not be saved and they were
cut down. In some instances, entire Or
chards were destroyed.

1ufers OF every section, making careful
inquiries as to the best methods of
making, curing and shipping their

the finest quality will do to compete
with the makers Of other states and

gin On the morning of the 18th on
butter, and the 18th on cheese. This

CLOTHES AND CHARACTER.
None of Us Free from the Influence of
Garments.

None of Us Free from the Influence of
Garments .-r
The philosophy of clothes grows out
of their relationship to our personality
and temperament. Not many of us are
Independent enough to declare our
selves free from the influence of the
garments which clothe and adorn us:
not more so than Of the other environ
n1ents which prove such potent factors
in the formation of our life and char
acter. Personality and temperament
are revealed by clothes; but what
seems more important in the whole
philosophy Of the subject is that the
outer garments affect cur individual
ity, SO that We are changed and trans
formed by what we wear. What
clothes have done for civilization in
the formation of character, morals,
manners and conventional ideas of liv-
ing is subject. too broad for super
fcial consideration The susceptibility
of some to the influence sof clothes is
SO keen that all Individuality would
be lost without the power. to express
themselves in this way. A woman
may make clothes the artistic express
sion of her personality, which in no
other way could assert itself. It has
become to her daily need, and the
loss Of it would take from her life
handspring of action that would leave
her stranded. There is a difference
between the attempt to express in ar
tistic form in dress an inward person
ality and the extrayagant waste of
money. for clothes which have no di-.
rect bearing upon ones mind or ideas
OF the harmony Of things, Lavish ex-
pendituTe of money on dress for the.
mere 1'e sake Of copying another, or for
the selfish and foolish purpose of be-.
ing dressed as expensiVely as the rich
est, is not only reprehensib1e, but is
deficient IN originality and art ex-

Feeding NTilk to Calves.

Twenty head of grade Shorthorn and
Hereford calves were purchased by the
Kansas Experiment Station in the
spring Of 1900 and divided into two
lots. One lot was fed On sterilized
creamery skim-milk with a grain ra-
ton composed of equal parts of corn
and kaffir corn MEAL with all the al
1alfa hay they would eat The second
lot was fed the same as the first, ex-
cept that fresh whole milk was used
instead Of skim milk In addition to
these two lots the station secured the
privilege OF weighing twenty-five head
OF high-grade Hereford calves which
were running with their dams in
pasture near the Experiment Station.
Results with Skim-milk.-For the
twenty-five weeks under experiment
the ten calves consumed 24,736 pounds
OF skim-milk, 1,430 pounds Of corn
chop, 1,430 pounds of Kafir corn meal
and 641 pounds Of alfalfa hay. The
total gain was 2,331 pounds, or daily.
average Of Isl pounds per head. Fig
uring skim-milk at 15 cents per 100,
grain at SO cents per 100 pounds and
hay at 81 per ton, the total feed cost
OF raising these calves was $52.es, or
$5.27 per head. The feed cost for each
100 pounds of gain was $2.26. Cows
that are MIXED viii produce larger
yields than when sucking calves. Ac-
eording 90 the average yield at this
station, ten cows lone for each calf)
produced $3.50 pounds Of milk test
ing 1898 per cent butter fat. With but
ter fat at 151a cents per pound. this
would amount to s33S.52. The value
Of the skim-milk not needed by the
calves would raise this to S374.24. De-
duct from this the value OF the feed
consumed by the calves and there re-
mains S321.56, or s32.15 per calf to pay
for the expense Of milking, feeding the
calves, and hauling the milk to the
creamery. At 1211z cents per hour, this
expense need not be one-half OF the
above sum leaving SIS to SIG clear
profit for each calf raised on skim
milk. zi N. ss5
Results with Whole Milk During
twenty 1.-TWO weeks these. ten calves con-
sumed 23,2S7 pounds Of fresh milk, 835
pounds Of corn chop, 1856 pounds Of
Kaffir corn meal. and 835 pounds Of
alfalfa hay. The total gain was 2.s7s
