are not advised to undertake the busi-
ness too hurriedly or at too great an out
lay of capital for breeding stock. 1t
is urged, however, that the farm work
should be done whenever possible by
good mares which should be bred to
good stations. Only horses of first
quality may be proftably raised today.
Inferior horses are drug on the mar
ket, and their production Is to be dis
couraged as much as the production OF
good horess should be encouraged.
There is no better time than the
present for the ambitious farmer to
breed his good mares with view to
supplying the market that the next
few years will open up to him. Some
may no doubt object to fall breeding.
AS a matter of fact, the fall Is bet
ter time for breeding a work mare
than the spring. The colt dropped a
year from now will not, it is true, be
on pasture for some months. On the
other hand, he will be sucking his
dam at time when she is not as hard
worked as she is in the open season.
The colt also during this time de-
pends far more on its dam for Its
nourishment than on what feed it can
pick UP. By the time he is ready for
grain and hay feeding the winter will
be we'll over and the spring pasturage
will be coming on at the very time
when the growing colt needs 1t the
most in making growth. The dam at
this time also is needed for heavy farm
work, yet the colt will not suffer as
he would when still a few weeks old
if his mother is overworked or not
quite up to her best condition.
Most of our horses must be produced
by the small farmer rather than the
owner of a breeding farm. Such 3
farmer cannot always afford to give
the dam as good a chance as she
should have for giving her offspring
the very best of nourishment. This
plan avoids to a great degree any set
backs to the colt or loss of the use
of the mare at busy time, 1t also
enables many farmers whose main
business is grain production to breed
a few well-bred workers, that will pay
well for the time and effort expended
On their raising.

School Board Give Names.

Names of children wi are absent
from school will be published from
time to time by the Frederick County
School Board. On Mondy evening
Superintendent of Schools G. Lloyd
Palmer authorized the publication OF
the names of absent negroes at the
Seventh street school.
Many mothers and fathers, who
have been under the impression that
their sons have been regularly at
tending school, have been informed
that they are mistaken.
The compulsory school attendance
campaign is not to be confined TO the
schools of Frederick city. In few
days the officers will go into the coun-
ty and round up boys who are persist
emily avoiding schools. The number
of girl truants is small. In the Sew
enth street school but six were found.
Badges giving full authority to
make arrests have been ordered for
the truant officers. This insignia OF
authority will be worn in few days.
Truant Officer Stockman declared yes
terday that the negro element seem
ed to be the hardest to handle. He
declared that there is an unusually
large number of negroes out of school,!
The following negroes were absent
according to reports filed Monday:

Hood college.

The disposition of the building now
on the grounds of Greater Hood Col
lege, erected by a German society Ill
/ 1869. occupied considerable time ami
discussion at meeting of the Hood
College Building Committee, which
was held yesterday morning at Hood
College. This meeting was called on
Monday night when plans and specl-
/ fications of the buildings in progress
were gone over and future plans dis
cussed. The committee went into ses-
sion again yesterday morning.
Every member of the committee,
including Architect NJ. B. Gibson, OF
York, Pa, was present. The other
members are: Emory L.. Coblentz,
chairman; A. c. McCardell and Presi-
dent Joseph H. Apple.
Can Be Used For Various Purposes.
Some valuable suggestions for the
building work of the college now IN
progress were given. These matters
will be announced later. The bust
ness of the meeting reverted to dis
cussion as to the best use to which
the old building now on the grounds
should be put This building al
though erected years ago is construct
ed of the best of material. 1t will
admit of remodeling and can be used
| for number of purposes.
The tenant who occupies this build
ing will remain in possession until
April 1, of next year. The building
will then be available for any purpose
for which the committee decides to
use it.
New Building For Gymnasium.
The general idea of the public has
been that this building would be used
for gymnasium. But the committee
shows tendency to favor building
erected closer to the college group.
One huge room surrounded by gal
lery, has been suggested as the ideal
place for an auditorium. The room
can accommodate from six to seven
| hundred people, The lighting could
be taken care of by a skylight or
sunken we'll This matter will be TAX
en- up and disposed of later.
Residences for the president and
vice-president of the college were TAX
] en- up by the committee. Homes for
the members of the faculty were also
discussed. These questions were not

Why Animals Change Color.

AS has long been known, the chame-
leon and several other cold-blooded
creatures are able to change color at
will, Science ascribes this ability to
minute cells situated in the cults and
called chromatophores. They are filled
with the pigments of the various COL
ors, and capable of contracting or en-
largement while the process of color
change is going on.

Physiological Facts.

Several recently discovered facts
about the body's growth are surpris-
ing. One is that the height increases
more during the warm months, while
the reverse is the case with the
weight. Another is that women con-
tinue to grow tall long after men have
stopped. A mans height rarely in
creases after he is twenty-five years
old, but woman, when she becomes
a mother or under other conditions,
may add as much as an inch to her
stature up to the age of thirty or even
beyond.
