THE OYSTERNEN AROUSED.
A LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC
MEETING HELD.
Addresses We're Made By Hon. James II.
MurdOck And Mr. W Hal
lam Claude.

At the Firemen's Hall, PASSPORT,
last night, an organization was Effected
of the Oystermen Union of Anne
Arundel County. Mr.. James IL. Muir
dock. the oystermen's 5 friend, was
elected temporary president and Will
call i similar meeting to order az the
Assembly Rooms on next Wednesday
night. February -, at o'clock.
Charles Jefferson was olecled secro-
tary and Messrs. James Brown, John
Simth and Thomas Kelly were elected
vice-pTesidents, and .John Wheeler
treasurer.
Mr.. Murdock, on assuming the
chair, made a few remarks, in which
he reviewed the fight in the last Leg
isiaturs in behalf of the Haman oys-
ter Bill. Among other things he
said:
During the last session Of the Leg
islature four gentlemen, two Of them
government employees, came TO the
state House and through their intlu-
ence, Senator Linthieum, of Balti-
more, INTRODUCED tke obnoxious bill,
which was intended, if It had been
adopted in its original form, 10 have
deprived the Oystermen of the state
the means of making living for
AiltlNcNANNe NA AAlNAf AAiAAAAt -
Mr.. Murdock also stated that If
the law was enforced no man could
as much as anchor his boat and fish
or haul his seine. as it was leased
property and De- could compel any
person TO haul zap his anchor and va
cate. or De arrested for trespassing,
and that he would own the fish in
the waters and the fowl in the air.
because the leased grounds would Ice
virtually his property. lie reiterated
tnat he was still the oystermen 5
friend and would continue 10 De SO If
he lived a thousand years.
In conclusion Mr.. Murdoch said !:
"If the promoters of this law. can
carry their designs to a successful
termination, that the oystermen
would have TO work for the oyster
Trust for dollar a day, and maybe
less.
Mr.. ". Hallam Claude also made
an address, in which he gave those
present some good advice, and the
best way to perfect their organization.
The meeting was one of The largest
even held at Eastport, and many who
wanted to attend were compelled to
stand outside, as every inch of space
was occupied. About seventy-five
persons Joined the Union and it is GER
tain that every oysterman and the op-
ponents of the Haman viii will also
join.
A unique feature of the Union is
that no colorcd line is drawn, as
every oysterman, no matter what his
color or politics may bo, may be-
come a member of the Union, as il
is non-political organization and
recognizes neither color nor creeds.
A set of bylaws was adopted, the
most stringent provision being that no
member shall catch or handle oysters
between the 25th day of April and
the lst day of September. This is a
direct hit at the Haman Oyster Law,
which provides that the taking of
oysters is legal for planting until the
10Th day of May.
The members of the Union viii
cause the arrest of any person taking
oysters during the time provided by
the Haman oyster Law, as the license
for taking oysters extends only until
April %.

WHAT Is A GOOD coW2

This question was put to me a few
days ago. as l was looking over a very
promising herd of cows in Jasper
county, Iowa. A good dairy cow is one
that will pay her owner a net profit.
That is about all there is to il. Look
at the COW from u business standpoint.
Let us stop all this foolishness about
his breed or that breed, and get down
to what the individual COW will do.
There are certain outward signs which
point TO good dairy material, but no
dairy has ever been established on a
profitable basis by judging cows on
their looks. In determining just how
good a cow IS we must know how
much milk she gives in a year, how
much butter fat that milk contains,
and how much it has cost to keep her
the year, We must know all about
these three things. h amount of
milk given during the year, and
knowing the amount of butter fat it
contains, will not show the cows value
unless we know just what her feed
has cost. Right here is where so
many busy farmers fall down. 1t takes
time and pains to weigh and test milk,
and to weigh and keep track of cost of
feed. Many will do one part and then
guess at the other. That destroys the
value Of any of the work.

TIMOTHY HAY COSTLY.

While there is no question hat good
bright timothy hay is about the only
kind in demand for feeding horses, yet
many have abou made up their minds
that it is not profitable to grow one
to one and a half tons on $1~00-an-acre
land. True If one could dispose of his
timothy hay at prices ruling during
the last six months, he could afford to
sell it and buy other forage. Timothy
uses up the soil faster than c~loyers,
and does not usually give as large a
yield. For these reasons clover is the
more profitable crop to grow, and it is
far richer in feeding value. Farmers
have been feeding too much trashy
stuff, and among his must be classed
over-ripe timothy. Other forage crops
should be grown. An acre planted to
fodder corn, we'll put up and shredded,
will furnish four time as much good
feed as an acre of timothy; and an
acre of corn put UP as silage will fur
nish ever a greater amount of feed.
Sorghum makes fine feed and will yield
three or -four times as much as tim
othy. 1t looks like o o business to go
right OH growing timothy when we,
know that it is a money-losing propo-
sition.

My mother was Just the same way.
We all drink Postum now and, with
out coffee in the house for two years,
we are all we'll.
"A neighbor of mine, a great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains In her
sid for years and was an Invalid. She
was not able to do her work and could
not even mend clothes or do anything
at all where she would have to bend
forward. If she tried to do a little
hard work che would get such pains
that she would have to lie down for
the rest of the day.
AT last I persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did SO and has used
Postum ever since; the result has been
that she can now do her work. can sit
for a whole day and mend and can
sew on the machine, ard she never
feels the least bit of pain in her side;
in fact, she has got well. and it shows
