Sandy Spring for practical demonstrations
of the methods of forest conservation.

market being able to conduct trucking
profitably was declared possible. only a
small portion of the farm to be used for
this purpose.
The effect Of the high cost Of living on
the farmer was presented by Allan Far
quhar. who said that while the farmer now
received high prices the trusts levied trib-
ute on what he had to buy so the farmer
was little benefited. Mr. Farquhar said
the only hope of change to normal prices
was through educating the consumers to
vote independently and in their interest.
Capt. R. ". Sylvester, of the Maryland
Agricultural College, gave an interesting
account of his visit to the far West and
the manner Of fruit growing there.

Mr.. Brooke ReiOlns.

! Mr.. Editor In answer to the letter OF
Mr.. M. B. Montgomery which appeared in
your issue of last week, wish to state
that Mr.. Montgomery misconstrues the
meaning of my letter. to which he refers,
or else he has not familiarized himself
with the bill introduced in the u s. Senate
by Senator Gallinger. AS this bill now
stands (but which we trust will be amend
ed, owing to the efforts of those familiar
with iD. there is no provision made for re-
munerating the farmer for any cattle that
may be condemned in the first, last or any
other test which may be made, and it was
on this point that joined forces with all
the prominent producers of Maryland and
Virginia in an attempt to defeat the bill
in its present form.
In your letter. Mr. Montgomery, you ad-
wise me to mark my cans milk from an
INFESTED herd of cattle for SALE" and see
what it would bring. In reply | will say
that twice during the past three years |
have voluntarily gone to the expense of
having my entire herd tuberculn tested
and whatever animals reacted disposed
of within forty-eight hours thereafter. Yet,
! would like to inform you. have not re-
ceived any more for the raw product from
the tested cows than others received for
milk that came from INFESTED herds.
This bill as il is now framed can not
hurt the large producer, for should his herd
be tested and he loses ten or twelve head
he is in a position to stand the loss and
continue in business, but the small pro-
Queer, that makes only from five to twenty
gallons per day. is the man who will be
forced out Of business and il was for this
class that interested myself. II is only
reasonable to presume that the more small
producers that are forced out of business
the less milk there will be on the market,
and the result will be that the large pro-
ducer will command more for his milk than
at present, which again shows that it was
not for my own interest that took the
matter up.
You are mistaken. Mr.. Montgomery. in
your conclusion that the leading dairymen
of Maryland and Virginia are trying to
defeat bill that will give the people Of
the District Of Columbia pure milk. They
are demanding that they receive the value
of the cattle slaughtered.
Respectfully.

An Enjoyable Occasion.

The supper and entertainment given al
the Rockville Baptist Church on the even.
ing of st. Valentines Day was a very sue
cessful and enjoyable affair. There was a
large attendance, and the supper netted a
profit of about one hundred dollars. The
people of Rockville and vicinity. without
regard to UNCONVENTIONAL alliance, were
generous in their patronage, according to
their laudable custom.
After the supper had been served very
pleasing concert was given in the Sunday
School room, as per the following pro-
gram:
Solo, Mr. Charles W. Prettyman solo,
Mr.. Edward l.. Greene; piano solo, Mr.,
William F. Prettyman solo, Mr.. Robert j.
Whiteford; duet. violin and piano, Master
Paul and Miss Eunice Lehman; solo, Miss
Annabel Allnutt mandolin duet, Messrs.
R. }. Whiteford and W. F. Prettyman
solo, DR.. Robert c. Warfeld; solo. Mrs.
Ohio M. Linthicum; male quartet, Messrs.
c. W. Prettyman. W. F. Prettyman, R. J.,
Whiteford and r. C. Warfleld.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the church,
under whose auspices the supper and en-
tertainment were given, has reason to be
gratified at the flatterine reward which
followed their efforts, both in the matter
of the pecuniary profit realized for the
benefit of the church and the social ex-
cellence of the occasion.

Death of Mrs. Cassidy.

AS we 60 to press the sad intelligence
is received Of the death in a Boston hos
pital Of the wife Of Professor Cassidy,
principal Of the Forest Glen Seminary, who
had been an invalid for some time To
this lady our county is much indebted for
the part she took in the founding and
management Of the above-named educa-
tional institution.
Before her marriage to Professor Cassidy
she was teaching in the high school at Gin
cinnati. She had a clear comprehension
Of general subjects, a ready grasp Of pass
ing events, quick ear to hear and eye to
see that which would interest the young
ladies Of the seminary, and an unusual
facility and grace Of expression that made
her a favOrite with all the pupils, among
whom she was an example.
To the possession Of a well-disciplined
mind were added a breadth Of informa-
ton, a strength Of intellect and eeniality
Of spirit that made her one Of the most
interesting Of companions. Her converse.
ton was at once entertaining and in
structive, marked by sound common sense
and practical knowledge Of affairs
Mrs. Cassidy will be greatly missed by
the members Of the local club Of ladies' Of
Linden and Forest Glen, known as the
Home Interest Of which she was almost
charter member.

A Bill Held Up.

Senator Lee. Of this county on Tuesday
last held up bill TO change the law reeu-
lating the writ Of habeas corpus. II the
official or other person who is ordered to
produce prisoner or any one in court
fails to obey the order Of court he is sub
ject to summary punishment by the court
he has disObeyed. The bill. which came
up in the Senate, proposes to change this
and instead Of the summary punishment
to make a suit for damages lie.
Senator Lee said the Maryland law on
this great subject is venerable and perhaps
the best in any land, and that IL should
not be tempered with or changed without
most careful consideration. A suit foI
damages against an impecunious person
would, Senator Lee said, afford no redress
On motion Of Senator Linthicum the bill
was postponed in order to afford an Oppor.
tunity to study its meaning and intent.
