waiting for the meeting to open. AS
our farmers are most progressive and
always welcome anything that will tend
/ toward the enlightenment of farm
and stock difficulties, the women attend
! ing in almost as many numbers as the
men. An accident to their car near
Cumberland, prevented the speakers
from reaching this place until late in
the evening, therefore no morning nor
afternoon session was held. The even
ings meeting was opened by W. I. l..
Taliaferro of College Park, who acted
as director in the absence, due to illness,
of DR.. Richard Hill. Mr.. Taliaferro
spoke upon the subject of hay and
pasture grasses. chiefly alfalfa as
food product which he claims to be of
the best for both stock and poultry,
making the butter of more golden
tinge and affecting the yolk of egg in
like manner. He also advocates the use
of timothy, recommending as dress
ing for the soil the use of nitrate of
soda, 200 pounds to and acre. Mr.
Golfers, who spoke upon soil fertility,
waXed very enthusiastic over crimson
clover as fertilizer and the use of
carbon of lime. eight quarts to an acre.
MIR. Ruffner spoke upon the subject of
dairy farming and gave several very
forceful illustrations to emphasize his
address, which was listened to with
deep attention. Questions were asked
and answered and the meeting was very
much enjoyed by all present. Mr..
Taliaferro spoke in highest praise of
the Garrett county boys who rave been
students at the Agricultural College,
saying they were credit to the institu-
ton. Three sons of VIM. I. Stanton,
of this place, have distinguished them
selves in many ways since their enroll
ment as students at College Park, and
are a credit to their father and to
Garrett county.
Another of Garrett county's boys,
who is making good and gaining honors
at college is VIM. G. Keller, son of DR..
G. c. Keller, of this place, who was
awarded the scholarship several years
ago. Mr.. Keller has been very dill
gent pupil since entering upon his
studies at Washington College, and this
year his endeavors were rewarded by
receiving from the faculty two gold
medals, one for the highest average in
the junior class; the second, an unex-
pected honor to Mr.. Keller, was accord
ed him for the greatest progress in the
first three years of college. Mr.. keller's
honors are well merited and he bears
them very modestly writing his mother
the news as birthday present, which
was much appreciated Mr.. Keller left
Charles-Town for Winchester, Va,
where he will remain in the store of the
Keller Drug Co. for several months.
Edward Buckle, of Bittinger, met
with painful accident in the lumber
camp the other day by being cut with
broad axe which, being double bladed,
rebounded and cut cash in his neck

Robinson, of this place, rendered medical
attention and the patient is doing nicely
and will soon be at work again.
