State Socialists Hold Convention.

The Socialist party of Maryland in con-
vention at Hagerstown, on July S, nomi-
mated Mark Jackson, Baltimore attor-
ney, as its candidate for Comptroller of
the State Treasury. A resolution was
adopted which provides for the placing of
an organizer in the State for six months.
A paragraph in the platform reproaches
the Standard Oil Company for its alleged
attempt to control the oil and gas supply
of the Appalachian region, and another
asks that by means of the ballot the in
dustries of Maryland be wrested from a
few and invested in the State.
Pending complete emancipation from
the yoke of the capitalists for all labor,
the following demands are made:
First-An eight-hour working day for
all workers.
d-Enfranchisement of woman
and equal compensation with men for all
services rendered.
Third-ownership by State or city of all
public utilities.
Fourth-Abolition of child labor under
age of 10 years.
Fifth-Preservation of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments to the Ma
tional Constitution.
Another resolution advocates that the
State furnish food and clothing to all
school children whose parents are unable
to care for them.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Green Feeds For PIGS.

AS soon as the pigs are old enough
to eat green feed l have it ready for
them. in addition to the shorts that
they have learned to eat with the SOW.
l have small field of winter rye
sown In the fall and another field Of
oats, barley, rape and clover, which is
sOwn in the spring, writes Il Mime
sofa farmer in the New England Home
stead This is fenced with a woven
wire fence. The oats and barley make
good early pasture and the clover and
rape come on later in the season. This
pasture, with shorts morning and night
and a little shelled corn, keeps the
pigs growing right along. In another
field have oats, barley, Canada field
peas, rape and clover sown together,
Which are ready for pasture little
later
This feed lasts until field of early
sweet corn, with rape and clover
sown at the last cultivation, is ready.
Pigs arc turned into this field to har-
vest the crop and turn 1t into pork.
Finally they are turned into field of
late corn. with rape and clover sown
at the last cultivation, and at eight
months old they should weigh $50
pounds each and sell at top prices.
BY this method one man can raise,
fatten and sell 100 hogs year with
out hiring any help.

The Bio Type Hoqs.

Another thing that IS running to

and under a year 400 is big enough, in
my opinion, for my purpose. l saw
what hey call the big types at Des
Moines. They were tall narrow, big
cared creased, coarse and everything
that our agricultural colleges say is
not wanted in economical feeding. AS
l read the paper l notice that the big
type of hogs averaging 426 pounds sold
for $685. and loads Of medium type
averaging 24O to $50 pounds sold from
$7.45 to $3.50, practically 81 per hun

Told It In Rl1yr,e.

The late Rev. John Skinner. author
Of annals CT Scottish Episcopacy,
was first appointed to Il charge in Mon
troSe, whence he was removed to
Hanff, and ultimately to Forfar. Aft
er he had left Montrcse ii reached his
ears that an i'll natured insnuation
was circulating there that he had been
induced to leave this town by the
temptation Of Il better income and Of
fat pork. which, it would appear. was
plentiful in the locality of his new in
cumbency. Indignant at such an as.
persion, he wrote Il letter, directed to
his maligncrs. vindicating himself
sharply from it. which he showed to
his grandfather, John Skinner of
Langside, for his approval. The old
gentleman objected to it as too lengthy
and proposed the following pithy sub
stitute:
Had Skinner been of carnal mind,
AS strangely ye suppose,
Or had he even been fond Of swine
He'd ne'er have left Montrose.

Value Of the Dust Bath.

Many people do not realize the value
Of dust bath for fowls. BY this they
scour off the scurf and scales of the
skin and rid themselves of vermin. 1t
is the hens natural method of bathing.
The finer, lighter and drier the dust
the more effective it is as a cleanser
and vermin destroyer. The dust bath
should be in the open air and in a
place where the sunlight can strike It,.
The scratching shed is a good place
for it. Here the dust settles quickly
and does not affect their breathing.

ports that thirty-six carloads Of APP
pies We're sent out from his shipping
station the past season, while in other
parts of the country there were very
few apples. He finds these results an
illustration of the benefit of good cul-
tivation and fertilizing practiced by
himself and neighbors, thus securing
better size and better keeping quality.
Farmers who failed to spray had 20
per cent of their apples wormy. The
San Jose scale is rapidly spreading in
his locality and is putting out Of bust
ness farmers who do not spray.

creatures of the chase.
In early September at Annootok the
sun dips considerably under the north
ern horizon. There is no night. At
sunset and at sunrise storm clouds
hide the bursts Of color which are the
glory Of twilight, and the electric after
glow is generally lost in the dull gray
which bespeaks the torment of the
storms of the setting sun.
The gloom Of the coming winter
night now thickens. The splendor Of
the summer day has gone. A day OF
sly months and night Of six months
are often ascribed to the polar regions
as a whole, but this is only true of
very small area about the pole.
As we come south the sun slips un-
der the horizon for an ever increasing
part of each tweDty-four hours. Pre-
ceding and following the night as we
come from the pole there is period
of day and night which lengthens With
the descent of latitude.
1t Is this period which enables US to
retain the names Of the usual seasons

the period of the setting sun. This
season begins when the sun first dins

These moments increase rapidly, yet
one hardly appreciates that the sun is
departing until day and night are of
equal length, for the night remains
light, though not cheerful. Then the
day rapidly shortens and darkens, and
the sun sinks until at least there is
but mere glimmer Of the glory of
day.
Winter is limited to the long night,
and spring applies to the days of the

At this time, though field work was
painful. the needs Of our venture forced
us to persistent action in the chase OF

We harvested food and fuel. K
Before winter ice spread over the

Many long journeys were made to Sc

THE MIDNIGHT SUN In THE ARCTIC.

some turf and moss, but everywhere
else within a few hundred feet of the
sea the land rose abruptly in steep
slopes Of barren rock.
To the westward across Smith
sound in blue haze were seen Cape
Sabine, Bache peninsula and some Of
the land beyond which we hoped to
cross in our prospective venture.
The construction of winter house
and workshop called for immediate at
tention after the wind subsidized. Men,

Building Winter Quarters.
This precaution against ultimate mis-
hap now served a very useful purpose.
1nclosing space 10 by 16 feet, the
cases were quickly piled In. The walls
were held together by strips Of wood
or the joints sealed with pasted paper
with the addition of few long boards.
A really good roof was made by
using the covers Of the boxes as shin
giles. A blanket of turf over this con-
fined the heat and permitted at the
same time healthful circulation Of air.
We slept under our own roof at the
end of the first day, and our new house
had the very greAt advantage Of con-
tanning within its walls all our posses
sions within easy reach at all times.
AS the winter advanced with its
stormy ferocity and frightful darkness
it was not necessary to venture out
and dig up supplies from great depths
Of snowdrift. Meat and blubber were
stored in large quantities about the
camp.
MucI, Work In Sight.
But our expedition was in need of
skins and furs Furthermore, as men
engaged for the northern venture would
be away during the spring months, the
best hunting season of the year, 1t was
necessary to make provision for house
needs later. There was therefore much
work before us. for we had not only to
prepare our equipment, but to provide
for the families of the workers.
