THE sentiment is growing in Baltimore
county in favor of law taxing dogs. If such
a law could be secured there are plenty of
farmers who would again engage in sheep
breeding. They gave up this profitable bust

country destroyed their flocks.

@On Saturday last County Commissioners
Mann ard Slade and Roads Engineer Shirley,

will be crossed either above or under grade
- The month of February took the last
parting shot at us inthe shape of small snow
storm. It was most remarkable month with
its rough weather, genial sunshine, SHOWS,
April showers and thunder storms all in one
grand tumble. 1t is rare occurrence that a
single month can produce such variety Of
weather.
The progressive people in and about
Lauravile Hartford road, want the County
Commissioners to assist them in securing bet
ter protection for their property against fire.
This appears TO be most reasonable request,
particularly in view of the fact that the tax
PAYERS in that section have themselves SO liber-
ally contributed to secure such protection.
r - The subject of increasing the salaries OF
the School Commissioners of this county is
again being agitated. To pay these officials
paltry 500 year for the services they rem
der to the people is simply ridiculous. Why
they should not receive fair compensation for
the work they do we never could understand
They ought to get at least $500. each and $500
n would not be too much.
- "Bilr' Winder, the murderer, who got
IS years in the penitentiary, was put to work
in the shirt factory. If he gets any time of
for good behavior (Which we very much doubt
in his case). he will still be young man when
he gets out and then he can come back to Bal
timore county and "get even" with some OF
those who helped to put him where he is. He
should have been hanged, punishment that
be richly deserved
- Fifteen or twenty motor cars passing
through Towson in a bunch necessarily excited
the curiosity of the residents last Saturday
morning. Mr.. Osborne /. Yellott had the party
in tow and be conducted it to Loeb Raven to
inspect the proposed site for the new Gunpow.
der reservoir. The cars struck some pretty bad
roads, especially along the lake, and some oil
them stuck in the mud. The weather was de-
lightful and, upon the whole, the trip was an
enjoyable one.
Does 1t Pay to Raise Poultry PAT the
last meeting of the Forest Hill farmers Club
a member asked the question: what is the
most profitable way to handle poultry?"
A few members stated they only attempted
to raise enough poultry for family use.
Mrs. I. J. Brooks told of neighbor getting
ten dozen eggs daily from $50 hens-Leghorn
variety.
s. l. Edel said if attended to properly one
should make money keeping poultry, but most
farmers have so many other things to claim
their attention the chickens are neglected. You
should keep them clean and comfortable, give
them plenty of clean water and milk to drink
and feed them cooked food in the winter, al
low them run and have plenty of dry sane
to scratch in.
T. ]. Brooks said his experience was limited
but they shonld not get too fat if you wanted
them to lay well. He would advise shutting
the hens up in August, starving them for 8
time This causes them to moult early and
consequently makes winter layers. Apri
Matched pullets are the best winter layers.
Mrs. Radebaugh gave it as her opinion that
Leghorns were better winter layers than Ply
mouth Rocks.
/ Miss Georgia Nicer said chickens, properly
cared for were more profitable than making
butter.
| VIM. Tucker remarked that they had bu
| two chickens on his farm and he would like t.
| get those into he dinner.pot.
