While the difference in the two lots seems little
yet in large product the gain would be CON
siderable. Mr.. Pearce said the average stall
will produce q ear and q nubbin, but he prefers
the large ears. Mr.. Crowther favors thicker
planting of corn. On getting corn ready fol
seed it was deemed well to take OF the corr

remark was it is well to keep ahead of farm
work, and reply was, to start ahead. Mr.. J. s.
Crowther said he had given up growing of wheat
and tried other lines of cropping, but has made
up his mind that the old time way-the growing
of wheat and grasses-is about the best. He
will keep up some alfalfa and add fertility in all
the ways possible. Mr.. Talbot remarked that
where potatoes grow the clover takes better,
but Mr.. ]. NJ Crowther said it is not the potato
but the fertilizer and improved soil that brings
the clover. Capt. Herman spoke of the mann
moth clover that has produced large yields. Mr..
John Crowther said, in 1850, when in Missouri,
he saw soil that was fourteen feet deep, and
Mr.. Davis said in Idaho it runs from three to
seven feet deep.
AS to the handling and the inspection of milk
remarks were that all stables should be inspec-
ted and the milk should be Clean AS to tuber-
culosis in milk question was, us member OF

Mr. Gardiner showed drawing of his idea Of
dividing farm of rs acres and how he would
arrange for the crops; also the results OF man
agement. His drawing shows:
Four acres for dwelling, garden, &C.; 4 acres
for barn and barnyard Z acres for exercise lot
for cattle go acres for alfalfa. 10 acres in each
lot 30 acres for corn, 10 acres in each lot.
Crops-120 tons of alfalfa; 225 tons of ensilage !;
$50 barrels of corn 90 tons of slower.

Comfort on the Cars.-The Baltimore
Am says ut is generally conceded that
Baltimore has the best and most polite street.
car men in the country. There are exceptions
of course, and some of them use improper
language and employ rough methods; but
these cases may be reached through the COM
PAW, and the citizens will be thanked for
complaining.
1.-The point is that comfort on the cars is
yerv largely in the hands of the patrons. If
they behave and make obstreperous persons
behave, the good of all is served. The most
prevaent evil on the street cars Is swearing,
and conductors do not show as much DISPOSE
ton to stop it as they should, nor do the pas
sengers object as much as they should. In
case of this kind if the conductor does not act
the passenger should call his attention to the
offense. and if the conductor still continues
his indifference letter should be written to the
company giving the number of the car, the
time and the name of witness. :. .
'sNow that warm weather has come it is
especially desirable that travel on the open
cars should be made pleasant, And in this
good beginning means much"
starting Off All Right.-The manner in
which the Good Roads Commission has started
off seems to meet with general approval, says
the baltimore Sun. The probability that Mr..
w. W. Crosby will be chosen as Chief Engineer
of the commission is gratifying to the friends
of the good roads movement throughout Mary
land and shows distinctly that the Governor
does not intend to let politics or any other con-
sideration interfere with results. What the
Governors friends want to see him do is to
have the roads bnit during the Crothers ad-
ministration, so that be- who originated the
idea, will get the credit and not some other
man who succeeds him. To him the credit
will be due if the scheme is successfully car
ried out, and they want him to get it: With a
commission such as he has named, and an
engineer with the experience and ability OF
MI. Crosby in charge, it is difficult to see how
failure is possible. The idea of the Governor
to begin the road building in Southern Mary
land also commends itself to those who know
the situation as it is there, it is claimed, good
roads mean more to the people than anywhere
else in Maryland.
