FEEDING DAMAGED GRAIN A
POOR PRACTICE.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

There is always temptation when
mouldy or spoiled grain is around to
give it to the chickens so as not to
waste it. While often no i'll effec.s
follow this practice, still there is con-
siderable danger attached to the prac-
tice. The argument is often advanced
that chickens running around natural
ly at large, eat feed in whatever state
they find it, and still keep perfectly
healthy. This may be true, but under
these conditions the birds probably do
not get an especially large dose" of
any one particular kind of spoiled
grain and their digestive system is
able to handle it.
Where one feels he simply must
feed damaged grain to poultry some
precautions should be taken. 1t might
be fumigated to kill the mould spores
or it could be heated up to a high
temperature on the kitchen stove,
small quantities being thus treated as
used. Another method might be to
scald the grain with boiling water
short time before feeding. The safest
method II 1t is, at all bad, is to use the
feed for fuel.

Red Cross Stamps.

One hundred thousand Red Cross
lex. These will be sold under the SUI
pervision of the Frederick county
branch of the Anti-Tuberculosis Soci-
ETY. and if disposed of will net $1,000.
Members of the society are making
preparations for the distribution of
the stamps among one thousand rep
resentative citizens of the city and
county. Each person will receive one
hundred stamps.
The treasurer of the society, Dr.
Thomas w. Williamson, said last
night that the entire batch of seals
will be distributed by the last of this
week or the first of next.
The sale of these Red Cross seals
is a vital matter to the local society.
There is a big demand for funds. The
successful handling of 100000 seals
means a net fund of $780, The re-
naming $3.50 goes to the national as

this city and county in the fight
against the white plague. Unless the
public co-operates with the society in
the disposition of these stamps that
work will be handicapped by the lack
of funds.
A very aggressive campaign will be
conducted not only in Frederick
county, but all over Maryland. The
State organization is going to bend
every effort to dispose of one million
of these seals.
The seals have a dual purpose.
They bring revenue that will assist
in the elimination of tuberculosis, and
they are attractive pastors to be used
in wrapping Christmas bundles and
packages. They are we'll designed
and are particularly appropriate to
the Christmas holidays.
A short, practical talk on tubercu-
losis and the methods that are being
used to stamp it out will be intro
duced in the schools throughout the
State. The teachers have been au-
thorized to give a short talk to the
students on this subject.
The seals are slightly smaller this
year than last, being of the size of
two-cent postage stamp.

Tour Of Inspection.

After tour of inspection that has
continued three weeks covering about
so schools in the various districts of
the county, Grade Supervisor Frank
D. Harshman has reported that there
is remarkably fine attendance. 1t
is believed that the enforcement of
the school attendance law has been
responsible for this.
Schools were visited in the follow
ing districts:
Urbana, Jackson, Catoctin, Mount
Pleasant portion of New Market.
Lewistown and Creagerstown.
Incorrect grading of pupils was
perhaps the only criticism that the
grade supervisor had to make of the
work that is being done in Frederick
county schools. 81 find" said Mr..
Harshman, that some of the pupils
have been graded too high. They are
not able to keep up with or accom-
plish the work of the grades to which
they have been assigned" This con-
ultlOn Will be remedied.
The inspection will be continued
throughout each district of the county
until all the schools have been visited.
1t is the one method by which the
school officials are able to keep tab
on the work that is being done in
county schools.
Mr.. Harshman would make but few
criticisms. He appeared to be sat
isfied with the school work in general
and would give no specific incidences
where methods should be changed or
remedied
The grade supervisor has been out
OF the office for nearly three weeks.
He has perhaps covered the districts
which are least accessible during the
winter.

Big Order for Hosiery.

At time when the business of
the mill was not par and there was
a general feeling that it would be nee
essary to cut the number of employees
the Union Manufacturing Company, of
Frederick, received a United States
Army contract for 100000 pairs Of
light weight wooden stockings. Auth
entic news that the contract hal been
awarded was received in Frederick
yesterday.
This contract insures ten solid
weeks of employment for about 250
women and girls of Frederick. In
many cases these girls are the support
of their family. Only those who ara
connected with the mills and are en-
ployed there know of the vital import
ance of this contract, at time when
the business of mills of this character
is not up to the standard the country
over.
The contract was awarded to the
Union Manufacturing Company large
ly on mill efficiency. 1t is under
stood that the local mills bid was Q
fraction higher titan the lowest bid
der. This is the second time that the
local mills have been given a govern
ment contract. The first one was
awarded about 25 years ago and was
not nearly so important as. this one
Besides employment for young wom-
en- of the city the awarding of this
contract to Frederick plant means
the best possible advertisement for
the city. The Union Manufacturing
Company is one of very few plants
that have been given contract by the
government.

MAKING LIFE ATTRACTIVE
FOR FARMERS DAUGHTERS
Country Girl Winner OF $50 Prize In
Maryland Week Statewide Com
petition Tells What Makes
For Contentment.
VIRGINIA LOUISE BYRD,
OF Worcester County.

In making the farmers daughter
happy, attractive country homes are
first to be considered. The farmers
daughter should see to it that the farm
house is tastily painted or white
washed, the lawn well laid out, and
sufficiently large to admit of flowers
and shrubbery that she can easily care
for herself; that the barns and other
necessary out-buildings are far enough
away from the house to insure good
sanitation. Then if we add water
lights, and heat, much has been done
to better social conditions, since our
thoughts and feelings in a great
measure are in keeping with our sur
roundings.
Such a home will want the latest
magazines and books that are worth
while, the reading of which will not
only cultivate the tastes and desires,
but open to them larger possibilities.
A piano, Victrola or some other
musical instruments should not be
lacking in adding to the refinement
and pleasures of home life for the
farmers daughter.
She should, of course, be indepen-
ent enough to hitch up her own horse
and buggy whenever she needs it, and
will thus be able to greatly improve
her opportunities for social inter
course. An addition to this, occasion
al automobile trips can be arranged to
more distant friends or to attend some
thing attractive at the theater or opera
for the automobile is no longer lux
ury, but necessity of country life.
With such conveniences as rural mail
delivery, telephones, parcel post, and
automobiles, distance is no longer
drawback and the system of good
roads which our State is building has
already done much to better our So
cial conditions.

Strong Breed of Cattle.

The smallest breed of cattle known
is the Dexter. A Dexter COW when full
grown is only three feet high.
1t can thrive on what little vegeta-
ton is to be found in fair-sizer back
yard and on such meager and inexpen-
sive diet will give more milk of good
quality than larger animals will when
kept in the richest pasture.
Someone has facetiously called the
Dexters "kitchenette COWS" because
they are so small that one of them
could, if necessary, be stabbed in the
small kitchen of a modern city apart
ment.
An American herd book classical
ton has been granted to the Dexters,
which are declared by prominent live
stock breeders in this country to
possess a number of particularly
valuable points besides their ability to
thrive on scanty food.
The DeXters possess extremely
hardy constitutions and the utmost
vigor and are absolutely immune to
bovine tuberculosis. This trait, it is
believed, has been attained by the
conditions under which the breed has
been developed
Owned originally by the poor peas
ants of County Kerry, the Dexters ran
practically at will over the hills, shell
terless at all seasons of the year and
compelled to forage for food. This
strenuous outdoor life welded out all
weaklings; only the very strongest
survived and these transmitted their
vigor to their offspring in increasing
measure, until the Dexter of TODAY
is an animal that, according to the
statements of those who know the
breed well, can thrive in places where
even the most thrifty of animals, the
goat, would find exceedingly poor
picking.-New York American.

Bazaar a Success.

Approximately $500 was realized
from Company AS bazaar, which was
held in the Armory, all of last week.
Receipts amounted to about $3.50 and
expenses will total about $3.50
The bazaar from every standpoint
was a big success. Each evening and
night in the week large crowds at
tended. Dancing was a feature that
drew many of the young people. That
exhibition of Made in Frederick"
products and agricultural specimens
were of some value was evidenced by
the large number of people who COM
mented favorably of them.
The purpose Of the bazaar was not
to raise any money for maintenance
of the building as reported in some
quarters. This is provided for by the
State. This money was raised to meet
the cost of certain essential equip
ment such as chairs for the auditor
ium and a piano which were not COW
cred by the State appropriation to
equip the building.
Some of the prize winners were:
Mrs. c. F. Goodell, the doll, which
was dressed and donated to Company
A by Mrs. Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
wife of the Governor; Mrs. R. S. J.
Dutrow, half a dozen silver spoons;
Arthur Grove, large fern; Frank
Hawkins, andirons; c. A. Gibson,
clock; A. A. Radcliff, mirror and tea
kettle; c. B. Cox, two large cakes;
Edward Summers, costumer.

Western Maryland Rates.

The Western Maryland Railway
Company in line with the Pennsylvan-
ia and Baltimore and Ohio Railway
Companies, has filed new Communication
tariffs with the Public Service Com
mission, which unless suspended or
disapproved altogether, will go into
effect December 20. The company
changes materially the character of
some of it's Communication tickets and
considerably increases the rates on
some of them, notably the Sc trip
school tickets.

Further, there are two things he
knows every man should do; one is to
earn a living, the other, to develop
within himself his latent possibilities.
He knows If he gives up farming and
undertakes to build up another bust.
ness, that he loses by this change at
least fifteen years of valuable time,
since he has acquired many valuable
facts through experience and observa'
ton, which facts would be of no finan.
cial value to him In another occupa'
ton. II he leaves the farm, he will
have to begin wholly at the bottom OF
the ladder again.
The Maryland farmers boy has
spent many hours, days, and months
studying and investigating conditions
on the farm. He has learned the es'
gentials of success, he can explain the
many opportunities in agriculture. He
has experimental with crop rotation
He knows how to estimate profits. He
knows by experience the cost of farm.
ing operations. He has had experience
with the necessary machinery to carry
on farm work. He knows how to han
die animals and what returns are re
ceived for them. He is not stranger
to the farm labor question. He has
acquired some knowledge of shipping
and marketing In business way. He
is better acquainted with the laws at
fecting land and labor than those OF
any other occupation. He has kept
abreast of rural legislation and is fully
equipped to put in practice all of his
knowledge. AS the inventory of facts
grows, the reasons are deeper and
clearer why he should remain on the
farm.
To sum up these reasons, the Mary
land farmers boy should remain Oh
the farm because he belongs there by
hereditary principles. He Is needed
there to continue the work of his fore
fathers in more practical and profit
able way He knows that by not re-
naming he would lose many years OF
experience and take up an uncertain
proposition Of which he is in darkness
He Is confident that the soil is adapted
to his occupation. The climate Is ideal
for his health and crop conditions, and
from the economical side of the
proposition there is no state in which
he can practice farming more profit
ably than in Maryland. He is con.
scious of the fact that he can still be
a pupil at any of the agricultural col
leges and thus avoid the many ruts
into which the old-time farmer fell
Finally, he knows that he will find
pleasure and enjoyment in making
two blades of grass grow where one
formerly grew and in trying out many
interesting experiments on q re-
gponsive soil.

has been costly. The value of animals

The state will pay $16,632.32, the gov
eminent paying the other half.
The next Legislature will be called
