Raising Sheep for Market.

Farmers prefer breeds of sheep that
can be kept in fairly large focks and
which will rival the native stock in
hardness, consequently if they wish to
improve the character of wool on the
native stock they use the Merino, but
to breed sheep to sell rs mutton the
Merino is rather small. For such pur-
pose the Southdown is preferable. II
is classed among the middle woods, and
it is not valued as highly for the text
ure or quantity of its wool as either the
Merino or Cotswold. but is far superior
to either for the butcher. The dressed
carcass is interspersed with lean and
fat. having Il marbled appearance. and
in quality of flesh on the table has a
juiciness and tenderness unsurpassed.
The Southdown is known by possessing
a dark face and dark legs Some butch
ers leave the lower part OF u" legs un.
dressed on the stalls in order to show to
the customers the fact of the mutton
being Southdown, which gives il a
higher price. In England this practice
is common, and the buyer rejects, un-
less at lower price, the mutton that
is not advertised with the dark marks
on the legs. The Southdown is as hardy
as the Merino or native, and cross
from the Southdowns gives perfect
satisfaction. No one vino makes it a
business of marketing sheep should
overlook them. and. while not as large
as the Cotswold, it is claimed that the
Southdown is more easily kept.

Would Amend School Law.

DIR. Richard S. Hill. of Prince George S
county, asked the State Board of Edu-
cation. at its meeting last week, to con-
slider modification of the present Civil
Service rule in regard to the appoint
ment Of teachers to the public schools.
Under the present system, teachers.
after passing the necessary eXamina-
tons. are appointed indefinitely, and
cannot be removed except upon the
proving of written charges preferred
to the various County Boards.
DIR. Hill wants these appointments to
hold for only one year, and to need re-
confirmation at the end of that time.
He also advocated that the Board re-
duce tire present school year through
out the State from maximum of IL
months to nine, and similar reduction
of the school day from six 10 five hours.
These matters were all taken under
consideration by the Board.
The Governor was asked to appoint
April 6 as Arbor and Bird Day, and on
account of March % Maryland Day
falling on Sunday this year, 10 designate
Friday, sd. for the usual observance
by the public schools.
Miss Joanna Brown, of Baltimore
county. was granted a teachers pen
sion by the Board. and number of ap-
pointments to scholarships at the State
Normal School were made.

OYSTERMEN ARE PLEASED.
Regard Attorney Generals Opinion As
Justifying Their Position.

Adherents of the bills recommended
by the Oystermen's Protective Assoca-
ton are pleased with an opinion of At
torney General Bryan on the subject
of oyster legislation, regarding il as
favorable TO those bills and as a vindi-
cation of the course of the tidewater
representatives in opposing the passage
of the Hannah bill last session.
The bill as presented then provided
for the appointment of shell-fish COM
missioner, with salary of $4,000 year.
Attorney General Bryan now holds that
$4,000 per annum is the highest salary
that can he Constitutionally fixed for
any office created by the Legislature.
That bill then provided that the she'll
fish commissioner should have jurisdic-
ton over all questions and disputes
touching the ownership, titles, buoys,
boundaries. extent or location of any
leased grounds, with power to docket
causes, summon witnesses and take tes-
timony, with the same costs as are al
lowed in circuit courts. Attorney Cen
eral Bryan how holds that the Legisla-
ture has no power to constitute any
tribunal for the trial of disputes about
property, in addition to those already
fixed in the Constitution.
The suggestion of the Attorney Cen
eral that if the crab industry is to be
protected the grabbing grounds should
be exempt from appropriation for oys..
ter culture pleases the supporters of
the Oystermen's bill. as it contains
such provision. 1t is thought that
the opinion clears the ground for con-
sderate action upon the oyster question.
There appears TO be an impression
among some of the tidewater repre-
sentatives that these Constitutional OBJ
jections apply to the draft of the Haman
bill presented this session. The pro-
visions of the present draft do not APP
pear to be generally known, and it is
assumed that it is practically the same
as the draft offered last session. The
resolution calling for the Attorney Cen
erals opinion was conceived with the
idea of developing Constitutional de-
fects in the Hannah bill. The draft pre-
scented this session. however. provides
for no higher salary than $4,000. and the
section Of the old law comforting juris-
diction over disputes as regard property
rights has been omitted. The supporters
of the Hannah bill believe that as now
drawn it is not even open to question
on Constitutional grounds.

AddiCkS Rules Sussex.

That John Edward Addicks still holds
undisputed control of political affairs in
Sussex County was evidenced in most
unmistakable manner Tuesday by the
ousting of Secretary of State Joseph l..
Cahall from the craftsmanship of the
Union Republican County Committee.
and the election of John w. Bennett.
of Milford, to fill the vacancy.
Bennett was a Representative in Leg
islature four years ago and is recognize
ed as one of the strongest Addicks sup
porters in the State.
1t is perfectly understood in the
Union ranks that he will not hesitate at
any time to turn over the reins on de-
mand to Former Secretary of State
Layton, Addicks' chief lieutenant.
The meeting of the County Com
mittec Tuesday was attended by every
member, either in person or by proxy.
and the interest manifested was nothing
short of that attending a State conven-
ton. The Layton men secured a line
up of the committee early and found
that they had Ia out of the 10, or at
least a pledge from that many, who
would stand by anything desired by the
former Secretary of State. The Cahall
men Thomas Curry and State Senator
Simeon Pennewill We're actively en-
gagged in working among the Layton
forces. but previous grooming on the
part of the shrewd politician and his
son. Daniel J. Layton. prevented any
desertion from the ranks. At an in
formal meeting of the Layton men
Monday evening it was decided not to
GUST Cahall as member of the CONT
tee at this time, but to allow him to
remain member.
