pit is something very unusual to see red
headed woodpecker come near to dwelling,
but this is now an almost daily occurrence in
Towson. They are generally very shy bird
and it has been difficult to get near them. Like
many other birds they are now protected by
law and from some occult source they must
have discovered the fact.
MIR. John M. Christopher has changed
the name of bis attractive new hotel, 81 miles
on the Hartford road, to the Hickory Spring
Hotel. Ghe place on which the house is
located, and which was purchased by the pres
ent proprietor some time ago, is known as
Hickory Spring Farm, taking its name from a
splendid spring OF pure water shaded by an

cite and his soldiers camped under this tree

I'VE often hear queer stories of what people
eat what they don't eat how they eat, when
they eat, etc, and occasionally an exceptional
case comes to our knowledge and we think it
worthy of mention. For example: We know
young man who is actively engaged in bust
ness in Baltimore, travelling back and forth
every day by trolley line about IA miles. For
five years past he has not eaten any breakfast,
If he takes lunch at noon it is q very light one
and his only meal is at night. Even then he
is a small eater. And yet he is active and per-
fectly healthy.
guernsey Breeders in Baltimore County.
The Guernsey Breeders Association, the
members of which are located in the Eastern
States, held their first country meeting on June
9th, at Burnside, the beautiful farm of Mr..
Samuel NJ. Shoemaker, in Green Spring VAL
ley. The meeting was largely attended, and
those present came from Philadelphia on a
special train. They reached their destination
about IL o'clock and were conveyed from the
station at Eccleston to the house in buses and
carriages.
For several hours the members were shown
over the estate Oy Mr. shoemaker ana MS as
sistants, particular attention being paid to the
large herd of highly bred cows. Early in the
afternoon dinner was served on the shaded
terrace of the home of Mrs. A. G. e. Shoe
maker the mother of Mr.. Shoemaker, whose
mansion adorns the estate.
After dinner a meeting was held on the ter
race and at 4 o'clock the members returned to
Baltimore on special train and left for Phila-
delphia. At the meeting the usual routine
business was dispensed with, and Mr.. r. A.
Pearson, of Cornell University, delivered an
address on "The Changing Demand for Market
Milk"
The association holds meetings every month
lin the winter in Philadelphia and during the
summer months at the country seats of the
various members. Nothing of importance was
transacted at this meeting, the main idea being
to gather some facts about the elaborate man
ner in which Mr.. Shoemaker has fitted out his
COW stables and other appliances for the keep
ing of a large herd. They all decided that,
while Mr.. Shoemaker had not the largest herd
of fine bred COWS, he had the most modern
stables and more facilities for the handling
of the cattle than any other member of the as
