served, but in rather quiet way.
There appears to be something wrong with
the arrival of the mails that go by the rura
route to Manor P. 0. Charles Hid, the car
rier, waits overtime for it, making him late
and still no mail came on Wednesday. Thl:
causes much dissatisfaction among the patrons
on the route and something should be done tc
remedy the defect.
The sermon preached at this place last Sun
day by Rev. j. T. Marsh to Charity Masonic
Lodge, of Parkton, was very highly spoken Of
by all who had the pleasure of hearing it

very large. Santa Claus was also on hand here
and dealt out good things with lavish hand.
In addition every child received pretty book.

tendance during the past year were especially

inducement for more punctuality during the
present year.

our comfortable wood tiresides in peaceful
Worthington Valley we are delighted to no
the w. M. R. r. Cor shall say Wabash p con-
veying to Baltimore the much needed coal.
Now that there is somewhat of railroad fever
in this part of Maryland we will be pleased to
see your trolley line continued from Towson
to Cockeysville, to Shawan. to Glyndon.
Grades would be slight and believe it would
prove paying road.
Sergeant John c. Cockey, who was the prime
mover and instrumental in securing the
adoption of the khaki uniform for hot day
drills at the Maryland Agricultural College,
will report for duty Monday, January 5, 1903.
1t is to be hoped that other military col
leges will follow this excellent example, as
cadets have been known to drop out of ranks
during rapid and extended order drills, in
warm weather, from sheer exhaustion. E.
What Are the Most Profitable Feeds
for Dairy Cattle ?"-This was the subject
discussed at the last meeting Of the Junior
Agricultural Club. We append the views OF
some of the members:
Mr.. Upton H. Tarbert said IT think wheat
bran is one of the most valuable feeds, also,
ensilage, because it is economical, as an i'm
mense quantity of it can be grown. Cotton
seed meal is very good, as there is high per
cent. of protein in it; oats also shows good
per cent. of protein and has good digestible
character. In my grain composition l use
200 pounds of bran, 200 pounds of corn chop
and 100 pounds of cottonseed meal. / appre-
ciate the value of corn fodder but prefer clo-
yer hay"
Mr.. T. V. Richardson said "Ensilage is a
most profitable feed. because can produce it
cheaper than anything else, as it can be grown
for 81 to So per ton. More milk is produced
from it than anything else. Wheat bran is a
very important food, as we can do without
anything else than it in the way of grain.
Mr.. Tarberts combination of grain is not too
strong More corn and ensilage, the more
cottonseed meal can be used. With bran and
clover hay, cottonseed meal might be done
without. Bran and clover hay are about a
balanced ration. Corn chop and hay do not
fail to give good results. Oats is a valuable
feed for man or beast. We do not want the
hull only. Cottonseed bulls have been used
ture to butter. A COW to be profitable should
not give less than 5000 pounds of milk per
year"
Mr.. B. M. Brooks said $50 far as my ex-
perience goes good results are obtained from
ground corn, wheat bran, clover hay and fod-
der. l have never used cottonseed meal"
Mr. Granville Matthews said II am using
good clover hay, wheat bran, corn and oai
chaff. mix about 2 pounds of corn, pounds
of oats and 3 to pounds of wheat bran the
corn chop and oat chop are about equal in
bulk. Advice is to use more bran. find that
much of the corn is shriveled and does not
weigh as it should, owing no doubt to early
cutting off of the corn"
Mr.. Charles H. Price said: II have been
feeding mixed hay, bran and some middlings
and what is known as oats feed costing $14
per ton, and which contains, it is said, pei
cent of protein"
MIR. Calvin D. Price said II am feeding
corn chop and what is called Royal oats feed,
clover hay and fodder giving each COW pei
day half of each oat feed and corn chop, max
ing 10 to IL pounds The Royal oats feed is
much lighter than the Quaker oats"
Mr.. Laban Sparks said 1.-The best feed con.
sists of corn chop, wheat bran, cottonseed
meal and ensilage. Bran in car load lots costs
about $3.50 per ton"
tonseed meal nor ensilage. My best results
have been from feeding corn chop, ground
oats and bran, and fed by measure instead OF
weight Two sacks of ear corn, sacks oil
oats and about one-third of bran make my
combination. always found clover hay was
better than fodder"
Mr.. D. S. Pearce said: 81 agree with Others
that ensilage is one of the best feeds. | am
giving rye bran and corn and cob meal the
mixture containing about one-third of the
bran. am giving the cows some clover hay
NV cows are not doing as well as they did las
wear when used gluten feed l pay SIG pei
ton for rye bran last year Just fed it to young
cattle Clover hay gives good color to the milk
so does ensilage. The Carroll yellow corr
weighs we'll and makes good meal"
Mr.. John B. Miles said II find feeding
ground oats and corn gives as good returns az
any other feeds"
Mr.. E. E. Scott said 81 have no experience
with ensilage. l am using one fourth oats
corn and cob stuff and bran equal parts as {
grain feed, and feeding clover hay once day
and fodder at other times. The butter has I
nice color and think the oats helps to do it,
Shall Trustees Pay Tax2-The Safe De
post and Trust Company of Baltimore, trus
tee by w. Burns Trundle, attorney, filed in
