Feeding Hogs.

In an address before the New
York farmers, Mr.. John r Gen
try, of Overton Hall Farm, Nash
vile, Tenn, one of our highest
authorities on swine, took orca
sion to commend urreservedly
the practice OF scalding Iced,
about which, rs readers know,
some difference of opinion has
prevailed. He said:
"In that | am directly opposed
to the agricultural stations. They
claim 10 prove by actual expert
ment the assimilatlve qualities of
the feed are reduced by doing it,
but | know from personal ex-
perience that | can get more re-

TO USE CONVICT LABOR.
State Geological Survey Makes
Draft For Is.

OA0A6 Z va %~Ss
The State Geological Survey has
decided to make adraft on the man
ayers OF the Maryland House of
Correction for 25 convicts to be
utilized in quarrying stone for the
new highway between Baltimore
and Washington.
The authority for this is found in
the Good Roads act, which was
passed at the last session of the
Legislature, in which it vas
provided that prisoners confined
in Maryland, House of Corrections
could be utilized in the construc-
ton of the boulevard.
The managers of the House of
Correction will meet and pass an
order directing the superintendent
of the institution to furnish the
number of men desired. In dis
cussing the subject of prisoners,
Chief Engineer Crosby said that
the convicts would be employed in
getting out stone from a quarry
lying about one mile from the
House of Correction. These con
victs so employed will receive no
pay other than maintenance, which
will come out of the good roads

tiary, and since that time one of
the sections along this branch has
always been known as the peniten
tiary section.
Mr.. Crosby announced that the
commission had completed 22.S0
miles of road since April and that
the total cost was $3.50, ,160, and of
this sum the State paid $71, ,445.
About Is miles of new roads is
under construction and about six
miles will be completed this year.
Mr.. Crosby said the new high
ways seemed to be giving satisfac-
ton, and the criticism heard of
their cost seems to have been
silenced by the results.

superintendent of the State Geo,

He also announced that the topo

Want Larger Appropriation.

A large delegation of Elkton's
business men, headed by Mayor
Mackall, went to Washington Fri
day and called upon the River and
Harbor Committee asking for a
larger appropriation for Elk
River. The delegation were as
sured that the appropriation would
be increased. The channel of the
river from Cedar Point to the Elk
ton wharves has become so shallow
that it is almost impossible to get
boats of any size up to Elkton.
The amount recommended in the
engineers report, $1,000, is not
sufficient, it is claimed, to do the
necessary dredging

Postmaster Hambleton Takes An
Outinq.


Postmaster Hambleton feeling the need
of short outing and little fresh air
started ON Monday evening for flying
trip through portion of the old Dominion
penetrating as far South as Staunton, Va.
taking snap shot view of scenes famil-
lar to him during the Civil War. And
as far West as Mertinsburg Junction, then
North to Alexandria.
Mr.. Hambleton reports much activity
along the line of his travel, especially in
the towns along the railroad. Orange,
Gordensville, Culpepper and Staunton
are assuming quite large proportions,
Many new and modern buildings taking
the places of the old shacks that existed
in War time days, tho the farming in
dustry seems to lack for want of ambition
to cultivate the worn out land, and in
many places seems to remain almost the
same as it was at the close of the war. The
country lying between Stanton and
Martinsburg Junction is principally q
farming country, and very many nicely
titled farms are noticeable, seeming as
tho this region was inhabited by dis
tinctly different class of people. Front
Royal on the line of the Washington and
Southern railroad is assuming large pro-
portions and everything looks spick and
span, as compared to forty odd years ago.
Roanoke few miles farther on presents
neat and cleauly appearance and pros
perity seems to have reached it also, in
fact all the towns and villages on this line
including Hay Market and Manassas
Junction all seem to be in a thriving
condition, but the agricultural part looks
sadly neglected. the plains of Manassas
seem almost the same, as at the close of
the war, not wooden fence anywhere to
be seen, these of course being consumed
by the boys in Blue and Gray at that
time. Mr. Hambleton reached home on
the five p. NJ. train Wednesday feeling
greatly refreshed and highly delighted
with his little outing and fully able to
cope with Uncle Sans mail during the
holiday season.
