Our AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT is no doubt
doing q great deal of good, but sometimes it
jumps to conclusions that are apt to provoke
ridicule on the part of the ungodly satirist like
the New York Sun. 1t now seems this depart
ment will experiment with what is described
as a species of rubber plant which has been
discovered in Colorado. Sheep herders had
noticed that their hocks avoided this particular
plant, but finally tenderfoot imported ram
of English extraction ate few sprgs and died.
An examination by veterinary surgeon
showed that death had been caused by what
appeared like bits of rubber, and his report
has led to official recognition Of the possbiIi-
ties of this new rubber plant. The imported
ram seems to have been, in an humble way, a
martyr TO science.
LAST YEAR the homicides in the United
States were 1912, and the legal executions 1873.
Capital punishment for murder in this country
is not many removes from an abstraction.

BALTIMORE PosroFF1cE, OFF1oE !

A Remarkable Coincidence - Monday
night, 22d instant, Mr.. Clarence W. McMaster
and wife, of Towson, while entertaining some
friends, were astonished to discover the follow
sons (eight of them being visitors. there were
two Rev. Mr.. Wrights and their wives and two
Mr.. McMasters and wives !; also two ladies from
the Bayne family. More strange still the two
Mr.. McMasters, it was found were nearly the
same age, neither had ever met another Mr..
and Mrs McMaster before except their own
father and mother. Although. apparently, no
relation, each McMaster family originally came
from Scotland to this country-three brothers
from each family. The one family was among
the early settlers, the others coming more re-
Gently. Before their marriages the ten persons
were-two Miss Baynes, two Miss Leeds two
Mr.. Wrights, two Mr.. McMasters one Miss
Jones and one Miss Wright.

viii Run "Milk Specials" Now.-Mr. G.
Bosley Littig, Baltimore commission mer-
chant who was among those instrumental in
introducing in Maryland the movement for
experiment and educational trains for the far
mers and as the result of whose efforts the
first corn special" was run in Maryland last
spring. has announced that dairy specials"
will be run from Baltimore through the State
within six or eight weeks.
The dairy specials will be the outcome of
a conversation Mr.. Littig and Mr.. ]. s. Norris,
general manager of the Maryland and Penn
sylyania Railroad, who furnished the corn
special" had with Secretary Wilson, who ex-
pressed extreme satisfaction at the success OF
the movement and suggested that similar
trains be run in the interest of dairying.
The remarkable results secured by the corn
special' have made the dairy special" the
promoters say, an assured fact. The great in
crease in the corn crop, with less acreage than
last year. was surprise even to the most hope
full promoters of the specials for demonstra-
ton and education and they hope to accom-
plish equally surprising results with the dairy
trains, which will, perhaps, be run over most
of the railroads in the State.
Speaking of the dairy interests of Maryland
Mr.. Littig said:
II am glad that the dairy specials are as
sured and we feel certain that the results will
be more than gratifying. We want to interest
every farmer in the State in the specials for
it is for his benefit that they will be run.
Through the work of our Experiment Station
we will have definite facts to lay before him.
1.-THE results of the corn specials that have
lust been made public assure us that the dairy
specials will be great impetus to the dairy
industry in Maryland.
ave expect to arrange for these to be run
shortly before or about the middle of March.
Experiments in modern, successful dairylng
will be shown, and speeches will be made by
those who are devoting their time exclusively
to this branch of farming Maryland as an
agricultural State is coming to the fore and
nothing will advance her more than these edu-
catonal trains.'
