THE COUNTRY PREACHERS.

Dean Skinner of Purdee University,
is quoted as hurting a broadside at coun-
try preachers in saying that ''they are
the most conspicuous back numbers in
the country" and that "while farmers
and the rest of the world have improved,
preaching has remained of the same
quality"
The Dean doesn't make out a case of
inefficiency or insufficiencY against the
rural parsons in his statements. The
quality" of the preaching of many of
the early country pastors was good en-
ough for any age. No doubt many dis
tinguished city pastors pray and long
for the EQUALITY" and through it the
power of these early preachers If the
present rural pastors have the quality
of their early predecessors, the Al
mighty has endowed them richly and
they and those to whom they minister
are greatly blessed. There was more
room for improvement on the part of
farmers and those engaged in other
callings, not excluding college profess
sors, than in the quality" of country
preachers. If the latter are holding
their own with the early preachers,
doing nobly.

hunters; two by mischievous boys; one
by traction engine; one by saw-mill
and one was reported as incendiary. 1t
is strikingly shown that the two COM
mon causes of forest fires in the State
are brush burning, which resulted in Al
per cent. Of the fires, and railroads. in
Guiding logging locomotives, 80 per
cent.
In the other counties of the State not
reporting, there are fewer forest fires,
but as there are no forest wardens there
is lack of definite information. 1t is
probablesthat the total record for the
State would be not less than 20, 000'acres
burned over, with an approximate dam
age Of $780, 900.
By far the most destructive forest
fire was in st. Mary's county in April
1910, when nearly 5000 acres were
burned over causing a loss, including
building, of over $50. 200. In the other
counties of the State, with the excep-
ton of Garrett, Howard. Montgomery,
Prince Georges and Worcester, the
fire damage for 1910 was less than that
for 1909.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
A Visit to a Sugar Camp.

To the Editor of The Republican,.
We accepted the kind invitation of
one of our good Garrett county farmers
to visit them when they were stirring
off"
After hearty supper, prepared by
the good hostess, we set out for the
camp, each carrying a lantern. After
walking perhaps a half mile through
the grove we came within sight of the
camp. The steam was pouring out the
doors and windows and every crack and
knot hole. A constant shower of sparks
poured out the huge chimney, inter
spersed by an occasional burst of flame
as the fireman stirred the embers. In
side everything savored of sweetness.
The sugar water, which has been
gathered from tree to tree, had been
run into a huge wooden tank from
which it runs into the boiling tank.
The flow is regulated by an automatic
device which shuts off the flow when the
water in the tank rises. A roaring hot
fire Is kept burning beneath this tank
and the water is boiled away at the rate
of twelve barrels per hour.
1t is boiled to syrup and is then drawn
off in to large tanks to cool and settle
After it is cold it is either drawn off
into syrup cans or placed in a smaller
kettle where it is boiled until it max es
wax and finally is poured into wooden
trough. 1t is stirred until cool when it
is crumb sugar.
During the time it was passing from
wax to sugar we were invited to 'help
ourselves" which we proceeded to do
without delay. The boiling syrup was
poured into cup of cold water where
it collected in a soft, delicious mass.
1t is generally pulled out with the fin
gers and swallow without chewing. We
know from experience that even tho we
eat enough to make US sick we will
never tire of it. The boiling is kept up
until twelve O'Clock or sometimes all
night. but growing tired about eleven
O'Clock we retired to the farmhouse to
dream of eating wax. r. SEE.
