PERHAPS THAT CARRIAGE WAS
Recruit May Not Have Been Alto
eether in the Wrong as to the
Upper Furnishings.

The German recruit was being
drilled In military manners-a most
important branch of the art of war as
practised In the Fatherland. For one
thing he had to be taught how to be-
have on the street-whom to salute,
and when, and all that sort Of thing.
The method of instruction was to
have the novice walk up and down the
court yard of the barracks, while from
this corner and that non-commissioned
officers kept popping out suddenly and
saying Il am a Royal Highness," or
II am the Military Governor" or Il
am the Master of the Royal Dachs.
hunds," or the like exalted titles.
Thereupon the appropriate salute had
to be given.
Everything had been going on very
well until mischievous corporal sud-
denly planted himself before the re-
cruit and said, Il am Royal Car
rlage." The recruit marched straight
on without taking any notice
why didn't you salute?" yelled the
sergeant in charge.
Il beg your pardon" stammered the
recruit, but was under the impress
sion that the carriage was empty"

Blind Watchmakers

Blind people-those who hav - been
born blind-are, as is well Known, ex-
ceedingly clever with their fnge rs, but
it is not often that we hear Of a watch
maker who was born blind. And yet
there have been instances Of thu kind
A famous blind matchmaker lived
at Holbeach, in Lincolnshire, En- gland.
His name was Rippin. and, although
completely blind, he could take to
pieces and put together again witches
Of most delicate construction w TIL the
greatest ease, and in quicker time
than most watchmakers who he We the
advantage of good eyesight On one
occasion some of the tiny wheels and
screws used in his trade were stolen
from him, but the thief was ca Ptured
with the property on his perso=1, and
Rippin identified them by his delicate
sense of touch.
A Barnstaple watch and cloclNE1aker
brought up his blind son to his trade,
and the young man proved so 3 killful
that on more than one occasion he de-
tected faults in timepieces which 9TH
er tradesmen had failed to discover.

ALL IN THE SPIRIT EyINCED
"Profession- or "Trade" Have Little.
Distinction Without Certain I'm
portant Differences.

II Is contrary to human instinct to
be idle. Some naturally prefer the
good and live to be useful. Others
evilly inclined, II useful at all, are so
by compulsion-in order to live Be-
tween these extremes are the careless
or discouraged, who work only to get
the means Of living.
We would not be misunderstood as
meaning that, to be a professional
man, one must work for nothing, de-
clares writer In Power. Neverthe-
less. the truly professional man who
deserves the dignity of that classified
ton makes his chief concern the good
he can do. He is more anxious to be
useful than rich.
Common acceptance of the term
makes all clergymen, doctors and law
yers professional, but, more is the
pity, some In their ranks forget that
the mission of service is fundamental,
the acquisition Of wealth Incidental.
Just as there are these exceptions
among those supposed to be of these
professional classes, there are many in
the humber walks considered to be-
long to the trades, who care more to
excel in their lines than for anything
else. They have pride in their work
and will do as conscientiously whether
their wages are high or low.
We submit that the real distinc-
ton between profession and trade
is the spirit in which 1t Is usually fol-
lowed. Viewed in this light, your vo-
cation is the one or the other accord
ing to whether you engage in it for
what you put in 1t, or what you get out
of it. In other words, whether you
work for the love Of it, or for the
money it brings.

SECOND SPRAY FOR COOLING
MOTH.
T. B. SYMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The second brood of the eodlins
moth appears about July 1st Unless
the first spraying, when the bloom fell
was exceedingly thorough, spraying
with arsenate Of lead should be applied
at this time
More important though than the
arsenate of lead treatment for the
Cooling Moth is the application OF
Bordeaux mixture to prevent Bitter
Rot and other diseases developing
when the fruit is maturing.
The combination spray recommended
for this time is:
Bordeaux Mixture and Arsenate Of
Lead:
Copper Sulphate, lbs.
Lime (Burned), lbs.
Water, so gals.
Arsenate Of lead, 2 lbs.
The spray solution is cheap, and II
only requires little extra pains to
secure good crop of clean fruit.

Concrete SiIo is

Costs No More To Build.
G. E. WOLCOTT.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The kind of silo that farmer
should build will, to some extent, be
controlled by circumstances. In a
few cases it would seem expedient to
construct the cheapest silo that will
keep silage. This applies in the case
Of a renter or where the cost of
materials for permanent silo make
1t prohibitive.
Ordinarily the concrete silo can be
constructed as cheaply as the wooden
silo 1t will keep silage as well and
it is permanent. Where a gravel pit
is near at hand so that gravel can be
had for the hauling the concrete silo
can be constructed at comparatively
small cost, the cement and material

gate.


County Farm Demonstration, Prof.
Emory c. Remsberg, while in Frederick
recently Stated that he thought that all
of the farmers Of the county should
avail themselves Of this years oppor-
tunity for securing the varieties of seed
wheat that are advocated for use here by
the Maryland Agricultural College Ex-
pertinent Station. He stated that the va
reties are Purple Straw, Dietz Long
Berry and Mammoth Red. and he said
that quite few farmers have sown this
wheat, and says that the Weld promises
to be about five bushels more to the
acre than the ordinary varieties, which
have been sown here for years. He
stated that the heads are unusually well
filed. and contain from four to five
more grains than the other varieties.
He stated that because of the many
farmers VINO have sown these varieties.
II should be no especial hardship for
every farmer in the county, who desires
to this fall sow the improved seed, to do
SO.
