duced from witnesses put on the stand
by the Railroad, it was made to appear
that the trouble was due to the South
ern Pacific drain and not of the Frisco,
but the Jury could not see it in that
light and awarded Mr.. Schultzman q
damage of $500. The case will now be
taken to the Supreme Court for final
decision. The Jury was composed of
Messrs. Willie Ansley, H. B. Jewell,
Alex Courage, J. T. Lejeune, R M.

The awarding of the contract for
the cement work which is contemplated
by the City Commissioners on certain
Streets in this City to Mr.. Havert S.
Sealy at the last session Of the Council,
has resulted in injunction proceedings
being taken out by Mr.. Leon Dfeyfus,
one Of the other bidders for the contract
and the case will be brought up before
the District Court next Monday morn
ing. From what we understand Mr..
Dreyfus' contention is that he was the
lowest bidder and for that reason was
entitled to the contract. According to
the bids submitted, ignoring Mr.. Sealy's
cash discount of ten per cent, that Of
Mr.. Prsther was the lowest, but for
some reason or other the gentleman has
taken no steps through the Court to
interfere with the decision reached by
the Council, evidently preferring for
some reason to withdraw. The matter
being brought before the District Court
for . final decision, we feel satisfied
those in the controversy will abide by
the decision Of the lower Court and thus
let the work proceed without any further
interruption.

Christmas Homecoming.

One of the great features of Christ
mas is the home meeting. How many
thousands who have been separated
throughout the year will now be gath
cred together once more under the old
home roof! 1t is we'll that it should
be so. 1t warns the heart to read Of
the trains to the north and the trains
to the south, east and west being filled
with people going home for their
Christmas holidays. 81 am told,' said
Gladstone once, that the strain of our
commercial life has loosened even the
bonds that unite the family; that in
the struggle for existence the parents
forget the child and the child forgets
the pa ents Well. read the other
day that some hundreds of thousands
of people were leaving London to spend
their Christmas holiday at home. That
is pleasing and practical refutation
Of much f this pessimism. 1t is. If
the parents did not think of the chill
dren they would not have them home,
and if the boys and girls did not think
of the parents they would not go home.
Blood is a great deal thicker than
water, and nothing will alter it. Go
home for Christmas!

DR.. w. E Taylor, noted soil special
list. delivered an interesting lecture

The subject for special discussion at

some valuable information, after which
Mr.. Turner, speaking in a numerous
vein, entertained the club with his ex-
perlences as shepherd and his knowl
edge of the aeecy coated animal.
The committee upon "Inve,trgatisn,"

taking place. The glowing descrip-
tons of the life and activities of the
city, and our elementary readers are
full of these descriptions, have served
to give the country boys and girls a
false comparison, they have overesti-
mated the opportunities Of the one and
deprecated the other. That there is
a tendency for rural people to permit
the city people to set for them their
ideals, I need to remind you only of
the tendencies Of the times in the mat
ter Of styles and the use Of food stuffs
The garment designers of the city
change the styles each season and we
as country people accept their crea
lions as though it were a necessity
The city man buys practically all of his
food stuffs in package form because il
is about the only form in which it is
available, but when the country home
uses these food stuffs 1t is a matter of
choice, and the housewife pays for the
false economy. Again why should the
rural child study in detail the COM
merce, the mountains, the rivers, the
cities, the plant life, the history and
literature Of foreign or that of coun-
tries that have ceased to exist, and
completely ignore those things about
them. believe in studying the things
that are foreign, but believe in study
ing them in their relation to our own
country and our eown locality. The
boy or girl who becomes thoroughly
familiar with his own community, its
opportunities, its history, its organiza-
tons will in due time reach out and
learn something about the outside
world Through comparisons he will
be able to fully appreciate his own
comforts and well being.

1t has been found that the quality Of
high egg production is what Is known
as a sex limited character, and that
the male bird is capable Of reproducing
the high laying quality very much
more than the female.
Heretofore, little attention has been
paid to the male, outside Of selecting
one from a high producing dam. Now
the approved method Of breeding for
egg production is to get a male from
some known high producing strain,
and mate him to the flock
In order to breed for high produe-
tiyeness, II is necessary to test out the
ability of the male to get high laying
bullets. This can be done by keeping
the puilets from several mattzEs In
So arate pens and getting a record ct
their eggs.

Costs State S21, 313. 81.

A report was made Tuesday by Chas.
w. Melville, secretary of the State
Sanitary Live Stock Board, which
shows that the cattle slaughtered re-
Gently because of the foot and mouth
disease will cost the State $21, 313 81.
That is the sum which will be paid
farmers, and the Federal Government
will pay an equal amount, the arrange
ment being that the cost of slaughter
ed animals shall be borne half and half.
The outlay for suppression will be ex-
ira.
The development of the foot-and
mouth disease in Maryland has caused
slaughtering of 327 steers, 293 cows, 46
heifers, 1877 sheep, 420 hogs, % shoats
and 81 calves. The disease appeared in
Washington, Frederick, Carroll, Mont
gomery, Howard, Prince Georges, Bal

bolt and Caroline counties, the first
case appearing in Washington county
on November 2 and the last in the same

DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SEED
POTATOES SHOULD NOT BE
MIXED BEFORE PLANTING.

Potato growers often find their stock
mixed and are at loss to account for
it. Some who have not become well
Informed seem to think that the wind
or bees may effect the blossoms and
that is the way the mixture happened.
1t is only when potatoes are grown
from the actual seed which is found
in the ball-shaped pods where the bios
SONS have been, that the bees or wind
can cause any mixing. There are sew
eral ways in which mixing may oc-
cir. One is by the accidental dumping
Of a sack Of one variety into a Pile
Of another. Another way which be-
lieve often happens. where one is
growing the Mccormick variety II.
that there are some tubers left over in
the soil from previous digging which
perpetuate themselves and thus get
INTO later crop. Another chance for
mixing which is probably the least
is bud variation. Bud variation is con.
stantly happening in plants and the
most common form in potatoes is the
eeler of the skin. The White Nc
Cormtck is bud variation Of the older
pink-eyed variety. Now, there has ap-
peared in the White variety "sproHt"
or bud variation with splashes Of
pink on the skin
If potatoes do get mixed it Is often
less trouble to separate them after they
commence to sprout Sprouts that have
started in the dark in some varieties
are pure white, others are ysllswlsh
white, others have some purple IA
them. A very common mixture Is
Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain. The
sprouts Of Green Mountain, when
grown in the dark, are a clear green
ish yellow, while those Of Irish Cob
bier are white, with purplish streaks
and patches at the base.

The next bull used was Hugorotus.
an animal with no high producing In
dividuals in his ancestry. His daugh-
tiers produced 1913 lbs less milk than
their dams; but the percentage OF fat
was much higher, making an increase
in fat amounting to IA lbs.
The third bull-Lorn Of Meridale-
had fine pedigree; and his daughters
increased the average production 141o
lbs of milk and 66 lbs. of fat. The
average production Of his daughters
was 1859 los of milk and 2S7 lbs. of
rat
The next bull was Missouri Rioter,
Srd. a son of Missouri Rioter. His
mother was the best cow in the herd.
His daughters produced 1920 lbs. Of
milk and 146 lbs. fat more than their
dams.
Minette's Pedro was used after Mis-
souri, Rioter, 3rd He was an animal
of fine breeding with many highclass
animals in his pedigree. Ten of his
daughters were superior to their dams,
and ten were inferior. There was an
increase of SIS lbs. Of milk and lbs.
of fat This bull was holding the aver
age Of the herd.
Brown Bessie's Registrar was the
last bull used with daughters old
enough to test. The data regarding this
bull are too limited to draw cOnclu
sions, but it Is evident his daughters
are inferior. The daughters produced
1884 lbs milk and 76 lbs fat less than
their dams.
The records show the great care that
should be used in selecting bull; and
the desirability of keeping the bull in
the herd until the production Of his
daughters is known. Missouri Rioter
was sold before his daughters began
to produce, and valuable bull was lost
to the breed

BULL WITH CARE

His Offspring.
G. E. WOLCOTT.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The care that should be exercised in
selecting the herd bull is shown by the
records of the Jersey herd at the Uni
versity Of Missouri.
The first bull used in this herd was
Missouri Rioter, son Of Bachelor of
st. Lambert-the only animal Of his
pedigree known to be strong breeder.
The average production of his daugh-
tiers was 1909 lbs. of milk and Is lbs.
Of fat below that of their dams.

Many writer's have contended that
laying stock should be replaced each
season or at the most, every two years,
but the results of some experiments
conducted with White Leghorns at the
Utah Experiment Station seem to show
that laying fowls may be proftably
kept over a period Of at least three
years providing they continue healthy
and vigorous.
If this is true and there is good rea-
son to believe it is, it makes poultry
keeping for egg production consider
ably simpler. One will have only to
replace third of the flock each sea
son instead of the whole or half the
flock
