Conventions Also Named,

BALTIMORE, April 29-The suffrage

the leaders of all elements at meeting

enthusiastic. Every county in the state
and every ward in the city was repre-
senfed The selection of the dates and

conventions was unanimously made

tanned IN Washington by the tariff de-
bate. but other prominent party leaders
were present, and Gov. Crothers was
given an enthusiastic reception. State

State Convention Compromise.
Prior to the meeting number of con-
ferences were held by the leaders In or
der to ascertain the sentiment as to the
time for holding the state convention
Some of the county people desired an ear
ly convention, while others, including the
city people, believed that it would be
better to have a late convention. The
selection of August IL was a compromise
between the two opinions, as 1t Is re-
garded as neither an early nor late date
There was no difficulty in selecting the
dates for the judicial conventions.

Chairman Murray Vandiver A resolu-
ton declaring the amendment to be the
paramount issue In the campaign and
calling upon all democrats in the state to
unite in It's support was unanimously
adopted amid applause.
Speeches denouncing negro suffrage
were made by ex-Representative Joshua
w. Miles and Robert w. Wells of Prince
George county. Others would have been
called upon to speak, but the committee
believed that the resolution and the
speeches made were sufficient.
Miles Statement.
Mr. Miles offered the resolution indors-
ing the amendment, and on its adoption.
with preamble submitted by the COM
mittee, it was decided to submit it to the
state convention for action.
"On the question of eliminating the ne
gro from our politics. said Mr.. Miles,
I'VE have elected two democratic gov
ernors. We cannot make this fight in an
apologetic way. We must be the aggres-
sors and put the republicans on the de-
fensive.
II know that in this state there are
men who are voting the democratic ticket
because of the negro. Prior to 1860 Mary
land was not a democratic state. The

ONES OWN WAY.

At first thought, it would seem as
impracticable to get out of ones own
way as to pull oneself up by ones
boot straps. Yet it is always more
or less practicable, and always makes
for success. The woman who learns
to look at life inpersonally, for ex-
ample, is the one who sees life
straight and walks most safely
through it. The woman who can put
away prejudice or pique is the wo-
man who wins her way socially and
personally. The woman who loves
others better than herself the most
useful and most is additionally and
eternally blessed Of women.
h 1t is Goethe's old dictum over
again. rRenounce!" In that lies
the way to larger possession. The
moment that a personal desire is re-
nounced, its place is open for larger
energy and hopes. When half-gods
go, the gods arrive" said wise Emer-
son. Self is to many the demi-god
Of life, conditioning all steps, loom
ing up in all paths, and generally OBJ
structive. Even self-sacrifce needs
watching at times, when it does not
regard the real good Of, others, but
only its own impulse. Some mothers,
by such selfish unselfshnesg, get into
their own way as far as training their
children is concerned. In fact, the
ways by which self can thwart prog
ress are legion, and have to be dealt
with by each individual separately.
But once recognized under the Pro-
team DISCUSSES. once firmly and re-.

Don't look upon the bull as an en-
envy and carry a club or pitchfork
every time you go near him, writes
w. NJ. Kelly in Farm and Home. His
disposition toward you will be just
what you make it yourself. Treat
him kindly. but with f1rmness. He
is sure to remember any kindness,
and surer to remember any meanness
that you may do to him, and will
watch his chance to get even with
you.
Allow him but one service and then
lead him to his STALL, and he will soon
learn what is wanted of him, and will
readily take up with the program.
Well managed and properly fed, he
will live to be eight or ten years old

and disgrace will be an object of adj

PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING

the terminal buds should be pinched
off, The vitality OF the plant will
then be expended in the development
Of fruit. If the plants are, not

form. but these scattering later clus-
tiers will unduly prolong the fruiting
season without giving sufficient finan-

removal of the old plants.
AS the fruit sets the clusters
should be supported by means of a
small cord or piece of raff1a passing
around the main stem above leaf,
thus forming a sling. At this time,

ANNOYING MANNERIsMs. J

If we would only learn to be quiet,
absolutely quiet when we are sup
posed to be quiet, without motion or
sound, faces quiet, hand quiet, feet
quiet; if everything that we do could
be done as noiselessly as possible
without an unnecessary sound or
movement. The movement to re-
strain noises should begin at home
rather than abroad; better innumer-
able bells and whistles outside than
slamming doors, creaking shoes, or
shrill voices inside. We need the
training given by constant attendance
in a sick-room. What a relief it
would be to. tired nerves If a general

Selecting a Herd For Beef.

deep and square body, cows with a
good coating of flesh, for these, If
bred to the right kind of bull, will
produce calves that will prove profit
able feeders.
Now for the bull. The bull is half
the herd. He stamps his qualities on
all the calves, not simply on one calf
a year, as with the cow. Get a reg
istered bull of the breed you want,
even if you have o&y grade cows, as
then you are sure you are getting
beef breed from beef ancestors. Sc

a proud masculine bearing, a good

tage. He should be broad and

even hips. He should have we'll.
sprung ribs, heavily covered with
flesh.
Spring is the natural season for
cows to drop their calves, and the
cows should be bred so as to drop
their calves in the early spring and
then when the COWS are turned to pas
ture in the spring the calves are old
enough to go with them and thus
have advantages for making rapid
growth and require very little atten-
ton during the busy summer months.
When the calves are a few weeks
old they should be castrated and the
wound washed with some good germ
killer, so it heals rapidly. In the fall
the calves should be weaned and fed
on good nutritious food.
The age at which steers should be
marketed depends largely on the
market prices, but as a rule well fed
steers sell best at fourteen to six
teen months old.
If you do not wish to dispose Of
your product as beef, then you must
choose one of the dairy instead Of
beef breeds of cattle.-By DR.. David

pertinent Station.
