TAssr Association Urges Farmers To
Secure WelL5red Bulls and Offers
Prizes For Superior milk.

At q recsnt meeting Of the State
Dairymen's Association in Baltimore, =
striking instance was given of the
asleep al the switch" attitude of our
milk producers as far as the improve
nsnt Of their herds is concerned. In
1910, Mr. S. NJ Shoemaker made the
offer Of q pure-bred bull calf TO the
farmer whose COW would make the
highest milk record in the State, no
expense to be incurred Herewith, and
no restrictions except that the contest
be supervised by the State Experiment
Station There was not an inquiry
not one. Sixty days after making this
offer, Mr.. Shoemaker priced this same
bull to q buyer at $500 and promptly
sold It Lest there should be question
ae TO this offer being widely enough
advertised, 1t should be added that the
bull calf, together with its pedigree
and a large placard stating the simple
conditions OF the prize were on exhi-
bition during Maryland Week of that
year for all visitors at the Armory TO
see!

Notwithstanding this example, the
directors of the Dairymen's Associa-
ton have offered generous prizes for
contestants in number of dairy prod
uct contests, ending Maryland Week,
Nov. Is TO 21st, which include mar
ket milk contest, one for new and one
for old contestants. a market cream
contest, a prizs Of $50 for the person
organizing the first new COW testing
association in Maryland in 1914, and
another prize Of $50 for the most eff
cient tester employed by one of these
associations and who has served in
this capacity for twelve months.
The Association also endorsed the
offer Of the State Experiment Station
to place several Guernsey and Ayr
shire Bull Calves as herd sires on
selected farms, free of cost, in an ef-
fort to improve the type of dairy ami.
mails and to encourage tie breeding Of
registered dairy COWS. Full informa

Room Of the White House at O'Clock
on Monday afternoon, August 10th. The
presence Of the Cabinet, committees
from both the Senate and the House of
Representatives, headed by the Vice
President and the Speaker. and the
closing Of all the government depart
ments, demonstrated, however, that the
whole nation, represented by the Ma
tional Capital and the machinery of the
government, shared with sympathy the
sorrow Of its chosen head.
Besides the representatives Of the Leg
islaiive and Executive Departments OF
the government present. and the en-
ployees OF the White House, only the
members of the Wilson family and a
very few intimate friends, together with
the wives Of the Cabinet members, were
in attendance.
The mahogany coffin. covered with
gray broad cloth, was taken from the
room IN which Mrs. Wilson died to the
East Room and there surrounded by a
proiusion OF beautiful flowers sent from
all par's Of the country. Lilies OF the

Frederick Engineer Boardman and
other hydraulic engineers, have urged
that the city take over the sheds wIthoui

entirely.
In spite of the fact that the watershed
problem is one that has occupied the at.
tention of past boards, and is a question
which experts declare would be solved
only by their purchase, Alderman Phebus
was emphatic in declaring that he was
not in favor of buying them. He de.
clared that the price named was too high,
although other members Of the Board
were convinced that it was certainly a
very reasonable price and much lower
than they had anticipated.
