Government Tefrdpin Farm.

Encouraging reports are being recelv-
ed by the United States Bureau of Fish
cries from its diamond-back terrapin
experimental farm, on the Choptank
river not far from Cambridge, Maryland.
This farm was established year ago,
on account of the dlminution in the
supply of native diamond-b backs of the
Chesapeake, which are the most delicious
in the world.
The Bureau of Fisheries is blazing the
way for practical work on the part of
Chesapeake fishermen in the scientific
development of terrapin farms. The
bureau is not endeavoring to raise
young terrapin for stocking purposes.
but is anxious to show the way in
which the diminution of the native pro-
duct may be arrested by expert raising
of the delicacy. Diamond-back terrapin
are found along the Southern coast, but
they are inferior to those of the Chesa-
peake bay.
The diamond-back grows slowly and
is the prey of fish, crabs, muskrats,
birds and other enemies when in the
jelly-like state of infancy. Even the
old terrapin destroy their own progeny.
and this has had great deal to do with
the diminution in the supply. DIR. II.
NJ. Smith Acting Commissioner of the
Bureau of Fisheries, said recently that
between 10 and Is nests of from 20 or
30 eggs each had been discovered at the
ChOptank farm, and these would be
Matched late in the summer. AS soon
as Matched they will be placed outside
of the reach of the older terrapin and
other prey, and the Government will
then experiment to ascertain what food
is best adapted to their development
and how rapidly they may be grown for
the market. Six or seven years are re-
quired in the state of nature to bring
the diamond-back to the marketable
size, but it is believed by Government
experts that they may be developed
quicker for the market by the adoption
of forced feeding.

middle of the road one of the oldest
roads in Maryland three miles west of
Rising Sun, Cecil County, and on the
direct road to the Conowingo bridge,

The road passes through tract of
land that has been in possession of the
family by whose name the great oak is
known since 1897. At that time it was
acquired by Thomas Richards, the great
grandfather of the present owner, j.
Granville Richards. The founder of
the Maryland family moved To this
State from Chester County. Pa, at the
time of the purchase of the property
II subsequently became the property of
his son. Thomas Richards, Jr, then
passed to the latter's son, Isaac Rich
ards, the father of the present owner
The tract was originally square mile
in extent. but after the death of the
first Thomas Richards it was divided
into two farms, each of the sons re-
ceiving one.

p. D. Cottingham & Co., Successful.

After a great deal of effort and corre-
spondence, p ID. Cottingham & Co.,
the popular druggists, have succeeded
in getting the DIR. Howard Co., to make
a special half-price Introductory offer
on the regular fifty cent size of their
celebrated specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent discovery for
the cure of all diseases of the stomach
and bowels. 1t not only gives quick re-
lief, but it makes permanent cures.
DIR. Howard's specific has been so re-
markably successful in curing constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that p. d. Cottingham & Co., are will
ing to return the price paid in every
case where it does not give relief.
The old fashioned idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pill or harsh
purgatives will soon be thing of the
past. The best physicians are prescrib-
ing DIR. Howard's specific because it
really gives the desired results and on
account of the small and pleasant dose
that is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach. specks before the eyes,
constipation, and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.

A Heavy Yield.

Miss Georgia G. Jones of Somerset
county, Maryland, probably had the
finest yield of wheat in the State this
summer. She threshed about thirty
five bushels to the acre. The output
was so unusual and the quality of the
wheat so fine that the Chamber of Com
merce wrote her the following letter
congratulating her on the result
Baltimore, July 9th, 1905.
Dear Madam Your wheat arrived
to-day. We are very glad to say it in
spected No. 2 Red. Your wheat was
fine. 1t was very greatly admired by
the Trade. They are desirous to know
what was the yield per acre. and the
Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce
would particularly like to know this.
Writing from Princess Anne on July
Z, in reply to the letter from the Cham
ber of Commerce, she said:
was greatly gratified that the Cham
ber of Commerce appreciates the pro-
ductiveness of my farm iu Somerset
county. In addition to this yield of a
large fine berry of wheat, the height
and size of the straw was amazing; the
threshers say they never saw anything
to compare with it. had only so acres
seeded to wheat. The vessel took

ship some winter oats that yielded 100
bushels to the acre. These winter oats
have never before been sown so success
fully in this part of the country: farm
ers here say they are the finest they
have ever seen; the straw is over ten
feet tall. The farmers here say my
wheat ought to be sold for seed and not
wasted in -four
The wheat was sold for the very high
est price on the day of its arrival in this
market. and, but for an impregnation
of garlic, would have brought an outside
premium over contract grade. This
shows that there may be no question
about the character of the wheat which
this woman farmer grew and sent to
maaket.
