great deal the fault of the parents that boys
take dislike to the farm and go to the cities
The farm can be made attractive to them as the
city is to the young. They should be encour
aged by talking to them about the planting
gathering and harvesting of the crops, and stock
of all kinds. The farm is an interesting object
lesson. Boys should be privileged to handle
young stock for profit to themselves. as well al
for pleasure. Let them see that you want them
to cooperate with you. Education is great
advantage to the farmers boys as so much Ii
gained through the many excellent farm jour
mails. In many instances he is taught at home
where he can combine farming interests with
education. We should teach our children tC
love the farm and to look upon it as the source
of their success. can mention number OF

to decry their occupation"
Mr.. Thomas Taylor said II have always been
interested in the farm, as was country born
I stayed there until was of age, but l was
rather compelled to leave home on account OF
enough brothers on the farm to work it, From

A Question of Much Importance to
Farmers.-At the last meeting of the Junior
Gunpowder Agricultural Club the subject dis
cussed was "How can we get better grass
sets?' We append the views of some of the
members:
Mr.. Charles H Price said: II think the
season has more to do with grass setting well
than anything else The sets need protection
in summer and winter. Though we fail some
times yet we must keep on sowing. The
ground should be well cultivated and fertil
lied. If it is done as frequently as it is said
Mr.. George Clark of Connecticut, cultivates
his ground before seeding, it would take q
large number of horses to do many acres.
usually SOW red clover in the spring, but will
SOW some alsike with it this year"
Mr.. Calvin D. Price said: II sowed some
clover in the fall and got good set The first
have tried plaster on grass sets. but found nc
difference in results. l believe in lime fol-
grass especially for clover. think it impor.
tant to prepare the ground well for the seed
and good season is necessary"
Mr.. t. V. Richardson said II believe in
the use of lime for clover and grass generally
also in manuring the ground we'll and thor
clover something upon which to feed. Glover
is not hard plant to take hold; if it is not
sown early enough to get covered by the rains
an implement should be used to cover it.
Clover is the most difficult grass to get and
keep, and most valuable soilimprover and
stock feed. A coed season is important.
fear the timothy set is injured, owing to the
drouth lastsfall"
Mr. Howard Nelson said: II have about de
cided to SOW some clover seed in the fall il
that sown in the spring does not take. New
land seems to be adapted to grass. | have
known of seed being sown at different times,
but it does not seem to pay. The early spring
time is about the best"
Mr. B. M. Brooks said THE season and
condition of the ground should be favorable
for grass seeding last year | sowed some
clover seed the last week in March and got a
fine set. sowed twice later but the set is not
as good. ! have found that grass seed sown
in rye sets better, and that on land where corn
is repeated the grass takes better than on land
not worked as much. Lime may be benef-
cial, and this was seen on clover at Mr. W. d.
Curry's farm last year"
Arrangements Made for the Extension
of an Important Road.-Mr. Samuel NJ.
Shoemaker, of Green Spring Valley, was be-
fore the County Commissioners on Wednes-
day when the matter regarding the opening OF
the extension of Park Heights avenue was
amicably arranged and the Board passed an
order that the proceedings in the case be rati-
fed, with the following change in the location
of the route agreed to by the parties interested
Beginning at point little north of Green
Spring Valley and DETECTING from the ex-
aminer's route to the right, passing through
the lands recently acquired by James Piper
and the lands of Frank A. Bonsal, w. 81
Blackford, j. Vernon Campbell and The Caves
property, and rejoining the examiners route
at point CO. as shown by the corrected plat
1t was further orded that the road berecorded
as a public road of Baltimore county in ac-
cordance with the law. 1t was stated that Mr.
Shoemaker. who was the only exceptant. was
satisfied that the order should pass as signed
by the Board. Col. D. G. Mcintosh and
Messrs. ]. H. Preston and J. F. G. Talbot
represented the various interests.
1t will require the payment from those in
terested of $500 to extend the road, and it is
customary for the Commissioners to appoint q
collector in such matters. Mr.. Talbot asked
the Board not to appoint collector until he
had time to see his clients.
The extension of this avenue will open up
what is known as The Caves Valley and the
northern terminus of the avenue will be in
Worthington Valley, near the farm of Mr.. Ed
ward A. Cockey. The length of the extension
is about five miles. Col. Charles B. MCLEAN,
