Function of the State.

Generations come and go. The life
OF the individual is short; his plans
and ambitions relate to temporary
purposes and present profits. The
State goes on forever and the State
must safeguard It's own future. In
a recent notable decision, the United
States Supreme Court says: THE
State as the guardian of the pub
lie welfare possesses the constitution
al right to insist that its natural ad-
vantages shall remain unimpaired by
its citizens" In the developing and
carrying out this purpose, 1t is natural
and proper that the State should EN-.
ploy its own geologists and engineers
and chemists: that 1t should make use
Of the facilities of its university: and
that 1t should teach the new purpose
to its university students, as we'll as
to it's matured citizens Science.

Twentieth Century Dugouts.

Dugouts are usually associated
with bygone days, but they still figure
in Maryland navigation. A few are
even being made to-day. The dugout
Is the Chesapeake canoe Of the East
ern Shore oystermen. 1t Is made by
placing three pine logs side by side
and fastening them together with
wooden pins. Then the inside is dug
out with an ADJ and the outside SINH
larly shaped. The result is a non
sinkable craft, with bow and stern
alike, that is rigged with two sails
and sometimes 'jigger" as well.
From these boats the oysters are TAX

season is over these canoes are paint

IDEAL METHOD OF TREATING SEED CORN.
[From bulletin of United States depart
ment of agriculture
the precaution mentioned above was
unnecessary. Many farmers believe
that their autumns are so dry that
such care is superfuous. Seed corn In
every locality gathered at ripening
time will be benefited by drying as
suggested. If left in the husk long
after ripening 1t may sprout or mil
dew during warm, wet weather or be-
come infested with weevils.
The vitality of seed IS often reduced
by leaving 1t In sack or in pile for
even a day after gathering. During
warm weather, with some moisture in
the cobs and kernels, the ears heat or
mildew in remarkably short, time.
The best possible treatment immedi-
ately after gathering Is shown in the
illustration. Binder twine will sup
port fifteen or twenty ears on string
arranged In the manner illustrated.
Ordinarily the best place to hang these
strings of ears is in an open shed or
loft.
Permanent seed racks, with n sepa-
rate compartment for each ear, are
more convenient than the use of binder
twine, and when they are located in Il
dry, breezy place the ears dry success
fully.

THE WHITE EMBDEN GOOSE.
PERTINENT PARTICULARS.

If Toulouse geese did not beget
white sports we might believe the
German legend that wild white
swan few down, mated with a gray
gander, nested, and hence the White
Embden.
The Dutch are goose epicures, eat
ing over a million Il year, but to Eng
lish gander geniuses goes the credit of
improving the Embden, and then
American rooster tinkers put on the
finish when they bred out foreign col
or. the dewlap, the deformed, fatty
abdomen. and gave the fowl more
grace, egg capacity and finer flesh.
White is a la mode for poultry to-
day, and the White Embden fits this
fancy.

Poultry Pointers.

Forcing the molt by starving the
hens is not considered good practice.
Clean the coops thoroughly before
you put them away. Get them under
cover, too, If you can. They Will last
so much longer 20
Two parts lard and one part turpen-
tine will often cure ''limberneck" in
the afflicted bird If discovered in time
and the remedy given promptly.
Ducks intended for breeding should
be separated from those intended for
market. 1t will be an advantage If
they can have plenty of range and
swimming water.
Cut hay into about one inch lengths
and pour enough hot water on 1t near
ly to cover. Allow 1t to stand over
night and feed in the morning. Feed
about three times week during win
ter.
Warm wheat for breakfast makes
the Biddies shell out the eggs.
Fresh air is all right for the hens,
but not when it is sifted through knot
holes and cracks between the boards
Meat meal and beef scrap are rich
in protein and mineral matter and es-
pecially desirable for molting hens
and pullets kept for layers. Where
insects are not abundant meat In
some form should supply a portion OF
the rations of laying hens.
If the roosts i'm the henhouses are
high the heavier birds are almost sure
to suffer from bruised feet, commonly
known as bumblefoot. This is caused
by jumping from the roost to the hard
floors.

Winter kse pina of Vegetables.

The matter of keeping Irish pota-
toes, cabbages. onions, beets, ETC., all
winter for family use depends on
climatic conditions. Irish potatoes, as
also beets, should be guarded against
freezing Beets and carrots can stand
little Of 1t, but are better off when
kept from 1t. Cabbages stored in the
cellar should be wrapped separately in
double thicknesses Of newspaper, fold
ing and tying 1t around the stem.
Hang each head upside down on the
side of the wall or from the beams
overhead Cabbages can stand some
freezing, but not too much Of 1t, nor
much freezing and thawing. Onions
to keep we'll must be put in a cool,
dry, airy place.-Farm and Fireside.

along to Gaul, and fashionable France
now revels in fat goose liver and gar
lie. So don't sidestep, for goose Is
now the go and White Embden the
whole show.
Wild geese pair, but we nature fax
ers have made poultry polygamous, so
mate up your Embden gander to four
geese, and do this months before
breeding season. Geese sometimes
live 100 years and breed we'll to twen-
ty-five. but after that they get too
heavy and the ganders dangerous.
Males from two to five years and
geese from two to twelve breed best.
Ganders are dog haters. So to tell
sex just put Fido in the coop and
watch them go for him while the
geese look on.
Real Embdens are pure white; eyes
are blue; bills, shanks, feet deep or
ange.
The gander is larger than the goose,
but should be about same in shape.
They should be massive, compact,
deep, with broad fiat back, full, wide,
round breast, long massive neck, large
head. strong. round thighs, short, stout
shanks, straight toes, big fappers.
