PARCEL DELIVERY.
Innovation On The Short Line-A
Great Convenience to shoppers
To Be Instituted on HALF
Hourly Electric Line

What promises to be an innovation
worth while to the travelling public.
especially to the lady shoppers out of
town, is about to be inaugurated by
Maryland Electric Railways Com
pany, (Annapolis Short Line.)
Becoming effective on October
there will be parcel delivery
service, and the purchase of ticket
on the Short Line will secure the
delivery of parcels and packages at
stations along the line. including the
following:
Baltimore, Clifford, Baltimore High
lands, Pumphrey. Linthicum, Shipley.
Noodlawn Heights, Wellhams, Glen
burnie. Saunders Range, Marley. Ell
vaton, Pasadena, Earleigh Heights,
Robinson, Boone (Severna Park.
Round Bay, Jones', Revell. Joyce. Ar
mold, Winchester. Severnside, War
dour, West Annapolis. Annapolis.
Of these there are agents at Balti-
more, Glenburnie. Robinson's, Arnold
and Annapolis. Parcels for indivi-
duals not exceeding five pounds in
weight, intended for home use. will
be carried in baggage cars, and the
owner may be free from the trouble of
carrying them if parcel stamp be
placed on the package.
The scheme has worked successful
ly in other cities, and its mattersthat
has been discussed for some time bv
the Severn River Improvement Asso-
citation, whose members waited upon
the Short Line officials and requested
the inauguration Of the parcel de
livery service.
To insure the safe delivery of par
Gel or package, a parcel stamp is
placed thereon, and these stamps are
sold at the Camden Station Parcel
Room, Baltimore, Annapolis, Glen
burnie, Robinson or Arnold. For
packages of ten pounds or under the
stamps cost cents, for ten pounds
to twenty pounds, 10 cents, and for %
to so pounds, Is cents.
There are certain articles that can
not be transmitted under the stamp
transportation, and breakabe articles
are sent at the owners own risk All
parcels are delivered at the station
only, and not at the residence, and
there will be certain hours governing
the forwarding and delivery of pack
ages.
The rules governing the Parcel de
livery service will probably be pub
lished by the company. The innova-
tion is something long needed by pa
irons of the road who live along this
rapidly growing section of the county.
and parcel delivery is absolutely es-
sential to the development of any
county, and when once established pa
irons of the road will wonder how
they ever did without this invaluable
service to be introduced by the Short
Line on October /.

Drilling Vs. Broadcastino.

Taking one year with another 1t will
be found that the drilling of oats is
much preferable to the, sowing of oats
broadcast. The seed is more evenly
distributed 6nd more evenly covered.
From a peck to half bushel may be
saved In the amount of seed needed.
In some seasons. such as 1907, the use
of the drill will be found to be ex-
ceptionally profitable. At the Iowa
station an increase>of nine bushels per
acre was secured In favor of drilling
that season. 1t will be remembered
that the spring was rather cold and
dry. Figuring the oats at SO 1-3 cents
per bushel, it will be found that less
than IS acres of oats would have paid
for drill that year In seasons more
favorable for oat production this in.
crease Is by no means as marked, yet
the drill can be recommended as
much more profitable method of put
ting in oats than the common system
LOT broadcasting.

PREPARATION OF SEED OATS

1t Is by no means an uncommon
ching to find that the oats used for
seed purposes were taken directly from
the oat bin without. any special care
or attention being given before they
we're sown. Every farmer certainly

and immature seed can by no means
lie expected to produce as strong and
vigorous plants as we'll the large.

The benefits derived from tanning
and grading the seed are indeed very

for seed purposes, will be removed.

removed. but the large plump oat
grains may be separated from the
smaller lighter ones. This Is all i'm

early oats have been much better

all cases, however, we find even in
desirable seasons that all the grains

the oats run light in weight. such as
last year when many of them were
weighing from Is to "a pounds per

oats are thoroughly famed and
screened, in many instances it will be
hard to save more than Is to 20 per
