Since the possibility of an electric rail
road between Frederick and Brunswick
there is a sentiment for the purchase Of

bridges cost about 100000 Brunswick
bridge paws about 5H per cent. on the
investment. less taxes. and The Point nf
Rocks bridge about a pei cent. free Of
taxes The idea is to eliminate the tolls.

How to Win an Author.

There's no greater fallacy," said
an author at the New York Authors
club, than the popular one to the
effect that writer's don't like you to
talk to them about their work.
MARK Twain exploded this fallacy
well when he said that there were
three ways of pleasing an author:
First, to tell him that you have read
one of his books; second, to tell him
you have read all his books, and, third,
to ask him to let you read the manu-
script of his forthcoming book. The
first way wins his respect, the second
wins his friendship, and the third wins
his love"

SOWING CRIMSON CLOVER WITH
GRAIN FOR HAY.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Where it is desired to NOW crimson
clover for hay it is a good practice
to SOW with the clover a small grain
crop. On the Eastern Shore and in
Southern Maryland winter oats is best
suited for this, but wheat is nearly as
good. The grain prevents lodging to
considerable extent, facilitates the cur.
ing of the clover hay, in that the mix.
ture dries out quicker than the clio er
alone, and if cooked the small grain
sheds the water better. The total yield
is also increased and while the hay is
lessened little in feeding value the
mixture is better suited to horses than
the clover alone. The best time to cut
the mixture is when the blossoms on
the clover begin to fall
The rate Of seeding for the mixture
is the usual amount of clover as when
seeding it alone, but the small grain
should be seeded at about half the
normal rate or little less.

How To Put Them Up To Insure .

Peaches s.culd be carefully grade
putting only the largest, well-coiored
and unblemished fruit in the first
grade. The proper placing of them in
carrier baskets makes all the differ
eGce between good pack and poor
one aad between good price and
moderate price for fruit Of the same
grade. The best method is that fol
lowed in making the diamond PACK
The general principle of this pack is
that no peach rests directly on top OF
any other peach, but rather above and
between two other fruits, or one frait
and the side OF the basket. The NUN.
ber of fruits per basket in this pack
depends uaoD their>siZe, but the gen.
eral scheme of arranging them is the
same and the tip ends should all point
the same direction. With medium
sized fruit the first row across the
basket in the bottom tier has two
fruits, the second row has two, alter.
mating with the first two, the third row
has two alternating with the second
and the fourth and fifth rows alternate
similarly. The fruits in the middle
tier alternate with those of the bot
tom tier and those in the top tier
alternate with the middle tier, beiae
exactly above the bottom tier This
rack requires 30 peaches. With large
fruits 1t requires only two layers tc
fill basket instead of three. Tre
size will determine the number OF
tiers and how the fruits must be ar
ranged in the basket

The Chicago Interocean says: 1.-The
outlook for winter wheat is regarded as
too good by the bears to bull wheat
from this level. 1t was the gossip that
the leading bull interest had sold a large
line of wheat and bought corn. A ma
jority of the large traders in corn are
bearish but they are not looking for a
big decline in prices of futures. until
the scattered long interest, which is well
margined begins to liquidate.''
Bartlett Frazier Co. say: Wheat
AS we have said before. the market
just now depends upon the export de-
mand. although later on crop prospects
will govern prices.
"Corn-Stocks are heavy and increaS-
ing, while the Eastern demand seems to
be filled by imports from all countries,
which is far from a healthy situation
and can only result in lower prices later
on.
