Editor CLARION
On behalf of the Colonists, wish to
thank you for publishing my letter OF the
9th instant, and take pleasure in advls-
ing that the desired effect is being felt,
as | have already received communica-
tons, both by telephone and otherwise,
from Baltimore readers of the CLARION
declaring their intention of joining with
us. We took in goodly number last
night, among those known to the readers
of the CLARION being Messrs. Joseph A.
Bennett, F. O. Firor and Col. George W.
+. Vernon.
A great deal of enthusiasm was stirred
up by addresses from the various mem
bers, especially Col. Vernon's, who spoke
very forcibly in favor of bringing the
Frederick Countians in Baltimore in closer
touch with each other. certainly hope
the people living in Frederick County
will take deep interest in our assoc'a-
ton, and urge their friends who have
moved to Baltimore to come and Join
with US any Thursday evening at s
o'clock. The charge to become mem
Der is very small being only sufficient to
defray actual expenses. An entrance
fee of rs cents and annual dues of 81. 90
constitute the total charge. We want
to number over 500 by the end of the
year, and desire to have the cooperation
of everyone interested. Thanking you
for your interest remain,
Very truly yours,
c. B. FOREMAN, President.

Homemade Cabbage Cutter.

A cheap and easily made cabbage
and root cutter is shown in the cut.
Take two 12-inch boards and nail them
strongly together With dividers de-
scribe a circle, then saw out and mark
in quarters Cut four slots Z inches
long on a slant as shown by dotted
lines so the cabbage will fall through
easily. Next cut TWO circles 4 inches
in diameter Nail one to the large
wheel on the back and leave the other
loose on the shaft to act as bearing.
Make a frame to admit the wheel,
leaving inches clear, and just wide
enough so the knives do not strike the
side. Make a top over the wheel, and
put a hopper on the opposite side from
the crank The knives are 8 inches
long and can be made from an old buck
saw and ground down sharp, with a
bevel on one side. Screw these on the
wheel at a slant according to the thick
ness the cabbage is wanted. A square

Around the Dairy.

There must be no guessworlz about
feeding the calf. The stomach of the
young calf is easily ruined by slipshod
methods Of feeding. Think of this when
tempted to feed it milk that is too hot
or too cold in a bucket that is not as
clean and sweet as it should be.
Milk that sticks to the sides Of the
pail and becomes sour is a bad propo-
sition, as it may cause an attack of
the scours. This trouble means a break
in the caIf's growth, perhaps a stunted
calf, and in the end an animal of little
value
Do not oblige the COWS to bunk about
the straw pile until the chilly nights
are past. Dry spots for them to sleep
on are usually very scarce at that sea
son Of the year.
Don't turn the cattle to pasture too
early. A good plan to follow is to wait
until you conclude the grass is suffi-
GENTLY large to turn them on, then
wait week or ten days longer.

Make the Dairy Pay.

There are 21,194O0O mich cows in
the United States-an average of one
COW to four Of the population. The
fact that there has been an increase
per capita of the consumption of milk
and a decrease of COWS per capita of
the population indicates that there has
been an improvement in the quality of
the dairy cows of the country.
In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
average production of every dairy COW
showed an increase of 1000 pounds of
milk, or a commercial gain of S211,-
100000. Yet with this improvement adj
mitted, there are many dairies that are
being operated at loss. The life Of a
dairy COW is estimated at seven years
and her annual depreciation represents
one-seyenth Of her full value, which is
taken into consideration in computing
the profits of the herd. If the dairy
man would ascertain if his herd is pay
ing profit he needs to charge for the
help to operate it, the cost Of the
feed, the interest on the investment and
the normal depreciation of the value
Of the COWS All these items enter into
fixed operating charges and need to be
deducted from the gross receipts of the
dairy before profits can be computed.
The receipts of the dairy should not
only pay the operating expenses and
fixed charges, but also leave liberal
balance for profit.

Uses of Corn.

The Crop Reporter is endeayoring to
tell for what purposes corn is used. In
the year 1899, SO this authority states,
the total crop was 2,666,OO0,O00 bushels.
Of this crop 241,000,O00 bushels were
consumed in the flour and grist mills
100000 in manufacture Of starch, D.
O00,00G for malt liquors, 100000 in
distilling Of liquors, 100000 for glu-
cose, 100000 for export, and 49,
100000 for seed. This accounts for
only 1913 per cent of the entire crop,
most Of the remainder being used for
feeding purposes. The more one studies
the corn crop, the more interesting it
becomes. It's magnitude as a food
giver and labor-employer grows with
every observation one makes Of the
corn crop.-Springfield Register.

Farm Wells.

Unsanitary dairy wells are a menace
to health, and as the country becomes
more closely settled more and more
care is necessary to provide good water.
The director of the Chicago hygieniC
laboratory reports that Of 1913 wells on
nearby dairy farms, examined by the
inspectors, only eleven were found to
be safe for domestic purposes. In Ill
cases the safe wells were those lined
with cement, with cement covers, with
a protecting fange of cement several
feet out from the we'll In some of the
wells used for washing milk utensils,
high percentage of colon bacteria
were found, and in some cases manure
could be detected microscopically and

MiIIet for Late Crops.

Millet as late crop to plant in case
of the failure of the corn crop or fail
ure to get corn planted at all, is rec
commended by the Ohio station. The
earlier sorts can be seeded through
July, and make fair fields Hay is the
most common use made of the crop,
and for this it compares favorably with
timothy, both in composition and di-
gestibility. 1t is good feed for cattle,
horses and sheep, but when overripe
should not be fed to horses exclusively,
as it affects the kidneys. Millet is also
grown for pasture seed, and even for
siIage AS a soil cleaner, it is also al
most equal to a summer fallow.

An application Of 1000 pounds of
lime per acre was practically as eff
cient in case of oats as an application
of 1000 pounds in tests made at the
New Jersey station. In the case of
clover the larger application gave the
better results. Lime in the form of
carbonate produced more dry matter
than nitrogen and ash burned lime.
The results of the studies of nitrogen
fxation were quite irregular, but agree
in general in indicating that the addi-
ton of fertilizer materials increased
nitrogen fxation and that carbonate of
lime favored nitrogen fxation to a
greater extent than burned lime
