Baltimore County Should Come to the
Front Now.-The Belair Democrat oflast week
said PROF. H. J. Patterson, of the Maryland
Experimental Station, proposes to wage relent-
less war on the worthless cur dogs of the State,
for the protection of the sheep raising industry
and game He has drafted law which he
proposes to have introduced and passed at the
next session of the Legislature. The sheep
raisers are certainly entitled to some protection
and the law as proposed will give them the
much needed relief. The delegates from each
county should put themselves on record as
favoring some good law and the sentiment in
Hartford is strong for some measure. The
sheep-raising industry is growing in this coun-
ty and in q few years will rival any in the
State. 1t is profitable industry, if the dogs
can be kept from the flock, and there would
seem to be no good reason why such law as
proposed should not receive the active support
Of every delegate in the next session of the
Legislature"

Herring by the Mlllion.-People in the
vicinity of White Marsh, Baltimore county,
have been enjoying great sport this week as
the result of the annual run of herring toward
the head waters of White Mash run. Every
spring great schools of herring make for the
shallow waters to drop their spawn and the
water is fairly alive with the fish. In some
places, it was stated the herring became 30
numerous that they completely filled up the
stream. At these points many of the residents,
who are always looking forward to the herring
run, stood on the banks and dipped out the
fish by the basketful. The herring so caught
are sailed down.

Large Test of Seed Corn.-Mr. @. Bosley
Iittig, a scientific farmer, of Van Bibber,
Hartford county, has received from the United
States Department of Agriculture report OF
the result of the test of the relative strength OF
seed corn furnished by him to the department.
Mr.. Littig sent 1900 grains of corn, grains
being taken from each of 300 ears. Out of the
300 ears 81 ears, grains each, showed strong
sprouts; SIS ears, 5 strong and weak sprout; ;
IL ears, 5 strong sprouts and failure; 40 ears,
strong and weak sprouts 10 ears, strong,
l weak and 1 failure; ears, strong and
weak q ears, strong and weak sprouts.
Corn taken from the field showed much
higher termination power than that taken
from the crib. OF the 800 ears, 200 were taken
from the crib. Mr.. Littig advises that farmers
secure an asserting machine to regulate the
uniformity in size of the kernels used In
planting.
One More Years Grace.-The Highland
town Sentinel of last week said: Retail liquor
dealers in the county have been given another
years grace to mend their ways and endeavor
to get down to law-abidiDg basis. There are
some who may think the court is simply
bluffing, but from reliable reports they were
nearer the ragged edge than they perhaps
imagine. Those who persistingly and na-
GRAVITY violate the law may rest assured there
are forces abroad which will keep close watch
on their actions this summer. Ample warn
ing has been given and word to the wise
should be sufficient"

q unique revenge tor any real or fan
cied sights 1t may have received at

The rescript, which is a sort Of edu-
cational creed, was issued some 30
years ago by the emperor Of Japan,
and has been used since that time
as formula for ethical teaching In
the Japanese schools. In part 1t
reads:
"Be filial to your parents, affection
ate to your brothers and sisters; as
husbands and wives be harmonious,
as friends, true; bear yourselves In
modesty and moderation; extend your
benovolences to all; pursue learning
and cultivate arts, and thereby de-
velop intellectual faculties and perfect
moral powers; furthermore, advance
public good and promote common In
terests; always respect the constitution
and preserve the laws; should emery
ency arise, offer yourselves courage
ously to the state; and thus guard and
maintain the prosperity Of our i'm
perial throne, coeval with heaven and
earth"
