Many persons in this vicinity are on the

THE MILK SPECIAL.
Schedule of the Instruction Train Over the
Western Maryland Railroad Next Week.

A letter to The ADVOCATE from Mr.. Asa b.
Gardner, Jr., of Baltimore, says:
Last year, through the disinterested efforts
of Mr.. C. Bosey Littig, and others, Corn
Special was run, through the courtesy of the
railroads coming to Baltimore, the Pennsyl
vania system excepted, that carried new
light on corn selection, breeding and cultiva
ton.
The results of this work were simply aston
shiug, increasing The farmers yield, and the
railroads tonnage.
1t is now proposed to run a Milk Special,
following the lines of the Corn Special, and it
is to be hoped, that the Northern Central Rail
road will also assist in this new line.
The result of the exhaustive weekly dis
courses on milk, that have been largely at
tended at Mccoy Hall, and more largely fol
lowed up in the newspapers, will prove OF
great benefit to the milk consumers, by im
proving their knowledge of milk, and how to
take care of it, when it comes into their
hcmes.
The State and CITY Boards of Health are de-
voting their best efforts for a continued I'M
proving in milk handling, knowing as they
do the city requirements, the faults and ditti-
culties, they have been asked by the Depart
ment of Farmers Institutes to give talk on
the Milk Special, and Dairy Expert will
take up the points that have been made, and
lay them before the farmers in practical way.
This Mix Special should have three great
results 1t should bring those who are con
nected with the Health Boards in close touch
with milk production. 1t should benefit the
farmer to know at first hand what is consid
cred good milk, aud why it is good. 1t will
benefit the railroads by increasing the quantity
of milk coming TO Baltimore, by which the
farmer will also be benefited, for undoubtedly
the whole result of interest in good milk, wall
be that of increased consumption.
No milk producer should fail to notice the
schedule time under which this train Is to stop
at his shipping point.
Each succeeding year shows greater i'm.
provement in the handling of milk than the
year previous; and milk produced by the far
mer, and that handling by some Of the city
distributors, is now approaching scientific
basis.
This third party interested is the consumer,
aud more ignorance to the square inch Is
shown regarding milk, its proper handling,
its range Of quality. judgement rs 10 whether
the milk has been colored, preserved, or other
wise doctored. Is fonnd in this third class,
than exists in either Of the other two.
Following is the schedule OF the special on
the Western Maryland Railroad;

superintendent simpsons Letter.

DEAR SIR:-l presume that you are aware
Of the fact that the Finance Committees, IN
Joint meeting, have voted to omit the II cents
tax for Free Text. Books, and thus cut off the
$3.50, 900 appropriated for buying text books
for the public schools in Maryland.
| beg leave to call your attention TO the
fact that Carroll county is not in condition to
meet this reduction without embarrassment in
caring for the children in our public schools.
As it is at present. We are handicapped in
providing books sufficient in number and OF
suitable condition for good work IN the school
room.
The suggestion that we take money with
which to buy books from the general appro-
priation, raised from the Is cent tax, does not
meet the case. In drawing upon this fHnd to
run the schools Of the county, are already
handicapped for lack Of sufficient money with
which 10 paint. roof aud floor our school
houses, and to place in the school rooms
maps and other supplies and equipments even
approaching satisfactory condition.
have talked with many OF the leading men
Of the county, aud they all, without dissent.
express the opinion that the public school
fund should not be reduced in any way.
Whenever the omnibus bill may come ilto
the House for action, | express the hope that
every delegate from Carroll county will vote
10 have the II cents tax, and the $3.50 600 ap
preparation for Free Text -Books, Incorporated
in the bin again before the bill is passed.
Ifyou could stand in the school rooms and
see thousands of pupils struggling Tor an edu-
cation, handicapped by unsatisfactory condi-
tons, you would readily agree that We should
every way encourage, aud never retATd, the
work Of pabhc education.
Most respectfully submitted,
). SiArs0S. Supt.
