To Enforce Local Option.

The Anti Saloon League of Cecil
County met in Elkton Tuesday
morning and considered plans look
ing to the enforcement of the Local
Option law, which goes into effect
Friday, May 1st. The league pro-
poses to use every effort to see that
the Local Option law is carried out,

SADIE against any form of "speak-
easies." Addresses were made by
Rev. A. S. Mowbray, president of
the league, and S. +. Nicholson, of
Baltimore, superintendent of the
State association.
The following resolution was
adopted by the meeting, which
shows the spirit of the organization:
Resolved That representing the
local option and law loving senti-
ment of Cecil county we reaf1irm
our solemn determination, by all
proper means in our power, to
secure the enforcement in all parts
of the county, of the local option
law, so soon to go into effect-and
we kindly instruct our Law En-
forcement Committees, not only to
organize thoroughly in the differ
ent districts of the county, with a
view to this end, but also, in CO.
operation with the proper officials,
to resist any effort by whomsoever
made to invalidate said law as en-
acted by the people at the polls.
That we further instruct our Law
Enforcement Committee to publish
in the newspapers of the county in
simple, untecnnical language brief
statement of the provisions of the
local option law.

HOW to Pack a TrnnIx.

The secret of good packing is firm
ness and smoothness, and to attain
these everything should be put In the
trunk in layers. Before putting in the
dresses have firm layer of undergar-
ments and then proceed with the thick
est and heaviest of your skirts. The
skirts should be folded as nearly as
possible in the folds they take In wear.
See that you lay the skirts alternately
in different directions, so that if the
waistband on one is to the left'side of
the trunk the waistband Of the. next is
at the right side, for thus the level will
be preserved. Between light and dark
dresses place a towel to prevent the for
mer soiling the latter. Fold bodices as
far as can be in the lines which they
take upon the figure. Put stiff, lightly
crushed paper.into the sleeves and also
into bows andipuffings to prevent their
being creased and then pack as tightly
as convenient. When taken out of the
trunk they Will be found uninjured

How to Draw an oval.

Take two stout pins and stick them
firmly into the table through the sheet
of paper on which you wish to draw
the oval, about two inches apart. Then
tic together the ends of a bit of string
about eight inches long so as to form a
loop, leaving two loose ends, each
about an inch long. When you have
done this tie the loose ends into a
smaller loop, which need not be larger
than sufficient to admit the point of a
pencil. Now place the larger loop over
the two pins and, putting the point of
your pencil through the smaller loop,
stretch the string as far as it will go
and circle all around the pins. You will
find that in moving from one pin to the
other the string forms an ever varying
triangle and that the figure described
in passing all around the pins is as per-
feet an oval as the most delicate instru-
ment can produce.

GROWING DUCKLINGS.
How to Produce Five Pound Ducks
In Ten Weeks and Make Money.

How to Produce Five Pound Ducks
In Ten Weeks and Make Money.
The growing of ducklings for market
is one Of the departments of the poul-
try business that call for quick growth
and early sales to be profitable. Those
who grow five pound ducks in ten
weeks make far more than if it takes
twice as long to grow to the same
weight. With this as a guide grow
them as fast as possible, and to do this
they must be fed very strong and often.
First of all keep the ducklingS warm
and clean and within the brooder,
which should be at temperature of 90
degrees Young ducklings need to be
kept warmer than chicks for quick,
steady growth. All the food for young
ducks grown for market is ground and
fed as a mixed or mash food. Corn
meal, wheat bran, ground oats and oat-
meal are all made use of as mixture
of ground meals, and to this are added
meat scraps as they grow older.
Cut green's of some kind must be add
ed to their food, and they must have
sand, grit and water provided them. 1t
is not unusual to put sand i'll their
morning mash if they are being pushed
for quick growth. Some put about 8
per cent of coarse sand in their food
while some use even more than this
amount to assure plenty of grit for
grinding the feed in the crop. Just how
much to feed them must be decided by
the amount they viii consume to ad-
vantage. They should have all they
will eat, digest and assimi1ate into
quick, steady growth.
TO grow five pounds in ten weeks, or
a gain of over one ounce per day, mol
only calls for plenty of food, but an in
creased amount each day, so as to main
tain what they have and continue to
add to it all the time. The best rule is
to give them all they will eat up clean
four times day and none left over.
Have them eat with a keen relish all
the time, and they will do well. AS
soon as they have gained the proper
weight and feather is the time to dress
and send them to market, and this is
usually at about ten weeks DID,

SELECTED SUGGESTIONS.

Information For Butter Makers Gull
ed From Illinois Station Bulletin.
Investigation shows that from a SAN
itary standpoint there is need of i'm
provement in many dairy conditions.
No other food will absorb bad odOrs
SO quickly as will dairy products or de-
teriorate more rapidly under adverse
conditions.
Milk being an excellent medium for
the growth of bacteria, it is of special
Importance that it be kept as free from
germs as possible.
Since the largest amount of contain
ination comes from the udder during
milking, it is important that all udders
be washed before milking.
The average weight of dirt which
falls from muddy udders during milk
ing is ninety times greater than that
which falls from the same udders aft
er washing, and when the udders are
but slightly soiled it averages twenty
two times greater.
1t is essential to the production of
clean milk that the cows be kept out
of the mud.
Whitewash being one of the best dis
infectants, the stable should be white
washed at least once year. In order
to accomplish this successfully the
sides and ceiling must have a firm,
tight surface to which the whitewash
can be applied.
The floor of the milking stable should
be smooth and solid. The platform on
which the cows stand should be of
such length that all droppings will fall
into the gutter, thus preventing the
cows from becoming soiled when ly-
ing down. The stables should be
cleaned regularly each day.
As soon as drawn, milk should be re-
moved from the stable to clean room
provided for the purpose and aerated
and cooled at once to go degrees f. or
below.
All dairy utensils and everything
with which the milk comes in contact
should be rinsed, thoroughly washed
and sterilized after each using.
Bottles used in delivering milk for
direct consumption must be thorough
ly washed and sterilized after each
using to avoid the danger of carrying
disease from one house to another.
Every creamery, cheese factory, dairy
and milk depot should have a solid
impervious floor The floor should be
well drained by being properly pitch
ed to a gutter which is connected with
a good system of well trapped sewer
age.
The walls for at least three feet
above the floor should be of some
smooth, impervious material. If of
wood above this they should be kept
well painted to facilitate cleaning.

Geese are extremely hardy and long
lived. They thrive ON low lying lands
which would not be suitable for fowls.
Old pasture is best suited to their re-
quirements, as they crop the grass very
short and would likely destroy the
roots of newly sown grass. They must
be afforded liberty and lots of grassy
range. They are very coarse feeders
and will eat nearly anything in the
shape of green food.
The gander likes to follow his own
sweet will in choosing his mate, and it
is sometimes difficult to induce him to
transfer his affections; so that it is
necessary to mate them some little
time before the breeding season opens.
Geese have been known to breed at a
great age. 1t is better, however, to dis
card them after eight or ten years.
Young birds do not breed as satisfac-
torily as old ones
Although it is desirable to hatch ear
ly, it is not always advisable, as it de-
pends upon the climate and location.
Goslings need grass and do not thrive
unless green food is supplied when
they cannot get range.-Ducks and
Geese.

A correspondent to one of our ex-
changes says: "One of the advantages
in poultry production is that returns
come quickly. With the exception Of
Strawberries. there is practically no
line of small fruits which you can be-
gin to realize inside of three years; a
milk COW does not approach her full
power of production short of three and
q half years; apple trees do not begin
to bear freely short of seven or eight
years. How is it with the hen? Three
weeks from the setting of the hen you
have hatch of chickens; from four to
four and half months from Matching
the cockerels are ready for the market,
and in five to five and half months
the pullets will begin to lay"

bone meal mixed in the soft food is
excellent. Wherever it is used there

Or take the first step toward going into
the business. What you will want to
do is to get into a position to furnish
exactly what your market demands.
what it prizes most highly and will pay
n premium on. Desirable goods always
sell the easiest. and you will want to
join with your marketmen in catering
