Farmers Hold Back.

There are no indications that farm
ars have begun to cake advantage o
of the parcels post as means of dis
posing Of their butter, eggs and Other
products. Merchants are using tn
new system largely, but un til the farm
ers also are numbered among its Gus
toners it will not realize the purpose
of its originators.
1t is pointed out by postal official:
that the parcels post offords ready
and cheap means by which the farmer
may sell directly to the city consum
err. With such trade established the
middIeman would be eliminated and
his profits saved to the producer and
the consumer.
Poultry may be sent through thu
mails except when it is olive, ant
there is no restriction on farms ane
factory products except as to weight
and size. When farmers realize the
practicability of using the mails to sell
their products it is believed they viii
do large business by that means.

Notes from M. A. C. Bulletin

The Maryland Agricultural College
has just issued its quarterly bulletin,
dealing mainly with the short courses:
in agriculture, horticulture, poultry,
husbandry and domestic science. which
will begin January 9Th. The following
notes in the summary will be found sc
useful to Gamers, whether they be
housekeepers putting up winter store
for the family or large manufacturers
of canned goods, that they are wei
worth remembering:
Absolute cleanliness and the use OF
good materials are essential in the
preservation of fruits and vegetables
Sugar is not necessary in fruit can
ming. and it is only when used in large
gu antities, as in preserves, that it act'
as preservative. Beet sugar is moi
the cause of spelling.
The heating of fruits In an open ket
tie and sealing in sterilized jars is no
the best method. since germs are like
Iy to enter the cans during filling.
Some method of heating in the can
by use of the oven, steam cooker
| washboilers or freless cooker is the
| easiest and safest way.
| Canning powders are unnecessary
| and their use is condemned.
| Heating vegetables on three consecu
tive days is necessary to insure thei
keeping.

Mary and Farms Fertile.

Maryland farms are contributing
their share towards making this 6
bumper crop" year. The average
yield this year of all crops combined
compared with 1911 throughout the
country, is 1853 per cent. Maryland g
comes within few points of the coun-
try-wide average being ia per cent.
The figures were issued by the Agri-
cultural Department. Virginia does
not rank as high as Maryland making
only 107 points in the nationwide
average of 1855, while West Virgins
goes way above, with Isl points.
The big percentage for the entire
country is made possible by the yields
in North Western States, such as lowe
North Dakota, South Dokato, Nebraska
and Kansas. Comparing with other
States, Maryland ranks much higher,
many of them not going over the 100
per cent. point.

The Renter Can Make Money.

The man who farms one piece of
land this year and another next year will
always have hard time to get along
and to get out of the one=mule class.
We need in the South a fair and per-
manent tenant system that will encour-
rage young men to farm right and to
feel that so long as they do SO they can
remain as permanently as tho the farm
was their own. 1t is the cropper sys-
tenn of the South that keeps men in the
one-mule class. Land owners need to
understand the profit that can be made
by having a permanent, tenantry in

Don't Eat More Than One Per Cent.
of Your Weight Per Day.

Harry w. Wiley, formerly chief OF
the United States Bureau of Chemistry
wri es an interesting article entitled
Intelligent Eating" in the October
Woman's home Companion. He says
in part:
Every pound of useless fat which
the human being carries is an inped-
iment to proper activity. A man six
feet tall should weigh approximately
two hundred. If by strict attention
to his diet and exercise he can rednce
this weight to 100 or 1S5 pounds, it
would probably prove beneficial, but
if his weight is allowed to raise to 21O,-
220, 230, or even 240 pounds, he units
himself to that extent for his duties.
Let anyone who is accustomed to
to physical exercise, and suited thereto
climb long steep hill. His weight is
normal and his health good, he can do
this without any very great fatigue;
let him begin at the foot of the hill
and carry weight of forty pounds
and note the effect that this will have.
The man who weighs forty pounds
more than he should and there are
thousands of them in this land of ours
is forced constantly to carry this quite
unnecessary handicap.
Food for special activities, or special
public or private duties, is a matter
which has not received any very great
scientific attention. No set amount of
food can be arbitrarily chosen for the
brain-worked or other professional
man. In general it may be said that
q man of little exercise will eat less
than one percent. of his weight of dry
food Fer day. Any marked excess Of
food, or excessively starchy or sugary
food, must also be avoided by the man
and woman of sedentary habits"

Financial Condition of State

The State of Maryland closed its fs-
cal year September 80 1912, with
balance of $1.s26, 229 %, according tc
the report of Black & Co., expert &C
countants, who have just completed
the audit of the Comptroller's depart
ment and filed their report with Gov
ernor Goldsborough.
In addition. the Governor has received
rex ort from Comptroller Harrington
giving much information concerning
the States financial condition.
The report of the auditors shows that
the State closed the fiscal year ending
September 80, 1911, with balance of
81, 472, $50. GA and that during 1912 the
receipts of the Comptroller were
50, 9O8, 454 16. The total disbursements
for the year were SO, 1858, 747.S5.
The auditors recommend the discon-
tinuance of the voucher system in hand
ling the State finances, and also that
the bank balances be kept on the
ledger A: present two sets of bank
passbooks are kept by the State Treas
urer. On the whole, the auditors say,
the system is worthy of commentator
Under the Constitution, the Governor
is required to receive reports every
year from the Comptroller and Treas
urer concerning the condition of the
State,
