A LITTLE FARM WELL TILED.

A New London, Connecticut, paper
tells an interesting story OF a city man
VINO turned from work in a machine
shop to the country where he purchased
a farm" of ten acres and went to
work to make money. He was willing
to work, and in fact, greatly enjoyed
it. He first studied the subject of mar
ket gardening and then went ahead
This year the farm is growing between
so and l, 900 bushels of potatoes. On
a single patch of one and one-fourth
acres 700 bushels of onions and 500 doz-
Ell lunches of celery are being raised.
$1,000 ears of sweet corn are in sight
and another patch of the farm is grow
ing 10, 900 heads of cabbage of the Dan
ISL bald head variety. The name of the
farmer is J. c. Rutland, Bridgeport,
Conn. Mr.. Rutland has also an acre of
cucumbers from which he is now pick
ing, and | ZOO tomato vines from which
he expects at least 200 baskets. In
every instance the vegetables are Of the
finest variety procurable. The cost of
working Mr. Ruland's ten-acre farm so
far this year has been between $500
and $500 and the produce will bring
about S., 800. 1t has required hard work
to attain these results, of course; but
wkat Mr.. rutland has done on a small
ten-acre patch in Connecticut IAN be
done right here in Garrett county. The
little farm thoroughly cultivated would
oftentimes Yield greater returns if mar
keS gardening were followed, rather
than using the same space for wheat or
some other staple crop that has been
planted year in and year out for gener-
atoms, Garrett is admirably adapted
to market gardening on account of its
rich soils, its railway facilities and its
proximity to the largest cities in the
county, If our farmers would set
aside few acres of their big farms for
market gardening and cater to the great
and profitable business OF supplying the
vegetables consumed in our neighbor-
ing cities and leave to the great West
the principal raising of wheat and com,
we firmly believe on" farmers would
achieve still greater measure Of sue
cess.

We Want Lieht.

Is it right for publisher who is a
Christian, or who processes to be a
Christian, to accept advertisements of
Sunday excursions or Of liquor manufac-
turers or dealers. The Republican in
vites ritten replies to these questions
from the local ministerial brethren, the
only condition being that they do not
use the word conscience" in their com
munications. Conscience is largely a
matter Of education. With many per-
sons the word is largely synonymous
with eXpediency or convenience. The
matter of printing advertisements of
SUNDAY excursions and whiskey and
beer is either absolutely right or abso-
lutely wrong Which?

HUNTING 4 CANDIDATE.

The Cumberland Times in recent
issue says if the Democrats select
candidate for Congress in this district
who is able, brainy, ripe with expert
ence, honest, sober and worthy of the
high Office, the masses of the people
will see that the victory in November
is his. This is putting the qualifications
rather high and some serious doubt may
be entertained whether man can be
found in the party who can fill the bill.
The Frederick Citizen puts it this way:
''Ihe Republicans look upon the nom
ination for Congress in the Sixth Con
gressional District as equivalent to an
election, and they have had every rea-
son to be'so sanguine and certain, but
there is something in the air this wear
that sings cut to every Democrat call
ing him to the line Of duty and urging
him to stand solid for Democratic doc
trines. With an ardent young man on
the ticket, who will appeal to the peo-
pie on legitimate lines and who viii
make an honest and energetic fight, the
Republicans might win, but they would
know that they had been in a rough and
tumble fight. Colonel Pearre had really
no adequate opposition, and it is our
sincere hope that he will have a strug
gle on his hands this fall that will put
him to the test and bring out on both
sides the stalwart forces of the two DO
ltical parties in a contest of brain and
Drawn"
All this may read very we'll to those
who do not know the real situation but
the fact is the Democrats are hard put
every two years to get a suitable man
to make the run for Congress in the
Sixth Maryland district. Within the
past eight years they have sacrificed
Little, Poffenberger, Keneweg and
Johnston, not to mention Mr.. Blair Lee
who met defeat at the hands of Major
John Mcdonald, aud each time the can
dldate has been allUred into the race bv
some false hope Of success. If there
were any substantial gforrds for an
tlcipating Democratic victory the as
pirants would be as numerous as pic

MEAL INSPECIIO".

Most important regulations affecting
the public health in the matter of the
inspection of meat, have just been is
sued by Secretary of Agriculture Will
son. These regulations are issued I'M
der the new law governing the inspec-
ton of meat products for interstate and
foreign trade. They do not, however,
cover the subject of interstate transpor-
tation of meat or the microscopic in
spaction of pork for export. Regula-
tons on these subjects will be issued
later. The regulations just issued are
stringent throughout and are in line
with the best authorities on the sub
jects of sanitation, personalities, dyes,
chemicals and condemnation of diseased
carcasses.
Perhaps one of the most important of
these regulations is that of sanitation
which requires the establishments in
which animals are slaughtered, or meat
and meat food products are prepared,
cured, packed, stored or handled, to be
suitably lighted and ventilated, and to
be maintained in sanitary condition. All
work in such establishments must be
performed in a clearly and sanitary
manner. All portions of the buildings
must be whitewashed or painted, or,
where this is impracticable, they must
be washed, scraped or otherwise rem
dered sanitary; old floors and old equip
ment which cannot be made sanitary
must be removed and replaced by suit
able materials. All trucks, trays,
chutes, platforms, racks, tables, knives,
saws, cleavers, and all utensils and ma
chinery used in handling meats must be
thoroughly cleansed daily.
Employees of the establishments must
wear outer clothing of material that
is easily cleansed and made sanitary,
and all toilet rooms, urinals and dress
ing rooms are required to be entirely
separate from apartments in which car
casses are dressed, or meat and meat
food products are prepared. Managers
of establishments will not be permitted
to employ any person affected with tu-
berculosis in any of the departments
where carcasses are dressed, meats
handled or meat food products pre-
pared. Butchers who dress diseased
carcasses are required to cleanse and
disinfect their hands and implements
before touching healthy carcasses. En-
ployes who are unclean and careless of
person will not be allowed to handle
meats.
Weekly reports on sanitation are to
be made by the employees in charge of
the various departments to the inspec-
tor in charge of the station, who in turn
must report weekly to the chief of the
bureau of animal industry at Wash
ington, but if any unsanitary conditions
are detected by any department en-
ploye, such conditions must be reported
Immediately to the inspector in charge,
who will report to Washington.
