The symptoms of blackleg are very
easily recognized by anyone " no has
ever seen Il case. As rule, the dis
ease appears in :! lot OF young cattle
when on good feed or pasture and
making rapid growth As rule, it
affects the fattest calves in the lot.
1t runs very rapid course, lasting
as a rule, from twelve to twcnty-fOur
hours and almost invariably results in
death. The calf first shows lamcncSS.
Within Il few hours, Il swelling ap-
pears on some part of the body and
generally OH one of the quarters. Rub
hing the swelling causes d cracking
sound beneath the skin. When the
animal is skinned, the affected portion
appears bruised as If it had been hit
with Il club. These SYMPTOMS are I'M
mistakable.
"Thc carcasses of blackleg calves
should be thoroughly burned in order
to destroy infection and prevent the
spread Of the disease. IF these car
casscs are not burned, the infection
will remain on the premises for years
and make cattle-growing Improbable
unless all young calves are regularly
vaccinated.
Whenever there is an outbreak of
blackleg, all the young cattle in the
community should be vaccinated. In
the event that case Is lost in herd,
and a little time would be required to
secure tie vaccine, it is advisable to
reduce the feed so that they will
shrink slightly. They are not SO apt
to develop blackleg while shrinking
as while gaining in weight. Three
days after the vaccine is administered,
they NAV be put back on full feed or
good pasture"

The Bible as an Educator.

plored the uniamiliarty Of the school
children with the Bible Undoubtedly
in this age of religious relaxation and
education IN the non-sectarian schools,
as sthe college boys and girls are now
grounded in the Bible is only to very
moderate extent The old contact with
it in the family circle is gone, and the
Sunday School is about the only way
that is left through which the younger
generation gets its knowledge. of the
Bible, either as a doctrine or literature.
1t is not extravlgont to say that the
loss of such knowledge would be very
great misfortune, looking at it only from
the educational point of view The

King James version. rises 10 dignity

balance between the vIgor and beauty
which it attains nowhere else. To cut off
pupil in the formative wears from ac-

to deprive him ofan almost indispensable
standard by which to measure the power
and purity Of the English tongue.
Happy is the old fashioned boy or

Wants Salaried Deputies.

Radical changes IN the game laws OF
this State are expected to be recon-
mended in the report of the Game War
den James P. Curley, which will be sent
to Governor Goldsborough next week.
Although there are about 400 depu-
ty game wardens. none of them receive
any salaries. The men have 10 depend
upon the fines received from the persons
that they arrest for violations of the law.
For this reason there is no steady super
vision. The fine also is regulated by
the Justice of the Peace before whom
the case is tried, unless the wardens are
particularly deputized by Warden Curley
to do certain work
1t is predicted that Statewide gum
ner'S license, a nonresident hunter s
license, a uniform game law and a sys-
tenn of paid game wardens will be urged
in the report
A Statewide gunner's license. it is
pointed out, would bring the State
revenue of about $4,000 annually and
this would be more than sufficient 10
paw the salaries Of the deputy wardens.
By uniform game law it is declared
that the work of these men would be
hordes of hunters from one county to
another where there are different open
seasons would then be stopped.
AT present the game wardens get an
appropriation of only $4,000 from the
State. This has to last through both
the open and closed season and, accord
ing to Mr.. Curley, the most violations
occur in the closed season.

The Democratic party of Frederick
county, as usual, got the short end of
the string, when it came to apportioning
the appointments at Annapolis on Mon
day. And the funny part of it is that
there are more employees provided for
than there were two years ago. In years
gone by this county generally gave
Republican representation to the Legis-
lature, and the recognized party men
saw to it that their people had all that
was to be gotten, but with conditions re-
versed, and we think for many years to
come, the slick guys from Baltimore,
Baltimore county, and the Eastern Sho'
and their brethren across the Bay, walk
in and take the choice things. OF course
as long as we stand it the same program
will be pulled off, but it seems to us that
It is someone's duty to be Johnny-On-
The-Spot and see to it that our claims
are heard in this as well as every other
proposition. If things are not looked
after there is soon set up Chaos on the
throne, and as far as we are concerned, his
subjects are not in our midst With five
Democratic representatives in Annapolis,
this county is in position to demand
suitable recognition and raise big
rumpus unless she gets it. Frederick
county is normally Republican, and the
State leaders have generally seen fit to
give all the lums to those counties that
helped make the Legislature organization
Democratic. But they must consider
that Frederick county has over six thou
sand Democratic votes and these count
considerable iu State elections Further
more, it is many thousands more than
some of the smaller counties, which have
enjoyed unmolested the favors Of the big
guns for years. A glance over the
Frederick county appointments will show
what we mean, and even if there was no
concerted demand made by any one here,
proper recognition and the proprieties OF
the situation should have suggested what
was the right thing to do. Some day
we might wake up and present our case
in such a way that it would be political
suicide to refuse any reasonable demands.
In the meantime there light be chance
for the placing of some good Democrat
in position at Annapolis and we look to
see Frederick county properly taken
care of.

ton. But nobody will want those
places except those who are qualified to
fill them.
But the great number of these places
that are now under the Civil Service
Law, only requires an ordinary educa-
ton, and the greatest requirement is
honesty and industry.
Let the people look at the Civil Serv-
ice officials in our own State and county,
In cur own postoffice or any other posi-
ton, and they are bound to reach the
confusion that they are not one iota better
qualified than nine. tenths of the people
who are excluded from Office by the
Civil Service Law.
The Civil Service Commission, is a con-
trivance of the Republican party The
country was outraged by its corruption
and it adopted the Civil Service Law
to allay the public wrath. They adopt
ed it, and under it they have Jared bet
ter than before it was passed.
There are more Republicans in office
under the Civil Service Law than ever
before, and there is an almost over
whelming demand for its repeal If it
is repealed, it by no mean, follows
that there will be an era of spoils
There is only one thing to do, and that
is simply to appoint honest men to Of
fee and then make them do their duty
or turn them out. Let the offices be
open to all of the people.
