For Maryland Day.

For Maryland Day" in the public
schools, March %. quantity of material
for readings and recitations has been
compiled in Maryland in Prose and
Poetry" a volume of $50 pages, to be
issued this week. The selections have
been carefully made and embrace prose
extracts from wide range of literature
relating to the State or to leading phases
of its history. The poems are numerous
and include several of Mr.. Folger Nc
Kinsey's best-known contributions.
The book is designed to be of perma-
nent use, especially in the counties,
where material for Maryland Day"
programs is generally difficult tosecure.
The larger number of the selections are
from sources not readily accessible to
the general reader. They are broad in
scope. while frequently relating to sub
jects having local interest in different
sections of the State.
The book will probably have an in
spring effect upon pupils. as upon the
general reader, in stimulating research
and awakening interest in the manifold
phases of Maryland history. 1t has
been prepared under the direction of
County Superintendent Edward M.
Noble, of Caroline County, assisted by
Mr.. Edward T. Stubs. of Denton,
with the Endorsement of the State school
officials.

that he was going home to protect his
daughter and her children. which he
proceeded to do against the advice Of
the Jefferson surgeons.

CAMEL is DELICATE.

Contrary to the widespread but erro-
neous opinion the camel is a very del
icate animal. A camel that has
worked fifteen days in succession
needs a months pasturage to recuper-
ate 1t is liable to host of ailments
and accidents. When a caravan cross
es a sebllha or dry salt lake, it is rare
that some of the animals do not
break leg and if the fracture is in the
upper part of the limb there is moth
ing for it but to slaughter the animal
and retail it's flesh as butchers meat
If the lower part Of the limb has
been injured the bone is set and held
in position by means of splints made
of palm branches which are bound
with small cords. If no complications
ensue at the end of month the frac'
ture is reduced. When it is a case OF
simple dislocation the injured part is
cauterized with a redhot iron, then
coated with clay and bandaged with
a strip of cloth. Fifteen days after
ward the animal is generally cured.

steers under the same conditions is
SO perceptible as to Immediately at
tract the attention of those keen, far
sighted men who handle the yard end
of the business.
The settlement of the West is rap
idly reducing the amount of valuable
range and is forcing the cattle to go
higher and higher into the hills in
search of forage. This is greatly in
creasing the Importance Of freely util-
izing the ranges within the national
forests, and every endeavor is being
made by the Forest Service to open
hitherto inaccessible ranges by the
! construction of trails and bridges, and
unused arid ranges by the develop.
ment of water. In these higher eleva,
tons the grass is usually much finer
in quality and more nutritious, while
the climate is much more rigorous;
both of which conditions result in the
animals being in better health and
having more solid flesh when placed
on the feeder markets in the fall. This
fall has seen large numbers Of the
range-bred steers, most of which come
from ranges within national forests,
| topping the feeder markets at all
points where feeder steers are sold.
So great has become the demand for
cattle of the quality mentioned that
hundreds of stockmen throughout the
West are selling their punches of
stock cattle and are beginning to han
die steers exclusively. On the old
ranges where few years ago one was
accustomed to see large herds Of COWS
and calves, you will find to-day equal
ly large punches made up entirely OF
steers, some of which may perhaps
have come from Old Mexico, some
from Texas, while Arizona and New
Mexico usually furnish. their. quota
These steers are brought into these
western ranges at from eighteen
months to two years old. They become
acclimated the first year, while in the
second and third years they become
sufficiently mature so that they may
be taken to market.
The demand for cattle of this kind
is greater than the supply. and as in
all other cases where the demand is
greater than the supply the price re-
ceived on sale must constantly in
crease. That this is true of the steer
business, one can easily ascertain
through conversation with any one OF
the western stockmen who make this
a business. They will tell you that
they have made more money in the
last two or three years in handling
steers than they made in ten years in
handling strictly stock cattle.
