In spite Of worldwide uncertainty, business
affairs III the United States display continued
recuperative tendencies. The Improvement is
slow, too slow to satisfy American optimism,
but each week shows a distinct gain both of
sentiment and in the volume of trade. 1t is well
perhaps that the gain is slow, inasmuch as it
will thus prove more permanent, while prema-

THE KEYNOTEs OF CHRISTMAS

Peace and goodwill are the
keynotes of Christmas. 1t is a
hallowed thought that through
ont the Christian world at present
there is a spirit, expressed or
implied, acknowledging that love
is the browning glory of exls-
tence.
To the child mind sweet gentle
peace and love comprise the en-
bodiment of all that is good and
pure. Therefore, in the inno-
cent life of children will be found
the noblest conceptions of Christ
mas. Mirth, joyousness, thrill
ing anticipations of the season
sparkle around the hearth stone
as visions of Santa Claus fit
through their young minds.
1o the mature mind Christmas
suggests a spirit of peace and
goodwill, as the fruition of low
ing and tender mercies. Cares,
worries and anXieties may, at
least for the time being, be
thrust aside and pleasures and
hopes be centered around the
child life.
In the busy bustling world
amidst the rivalries and conten-
lions Of business, illwill is so Of
ten engendered that, but for the
recurring seasons of peace and
goodwill, mankind would grow
very cold and heartless. The
mellowing influence of the men,
Dry of the Christ Child and the
holy alteration that the season
inspires, turning the gaze of err
ing man to the Star of Bethlehem,
are potent factors in keeping in
dividuals and nations conscious
of the Divine Redeemer, and in
enforcing the precept that right
not might must rule under the
new dispensation.
Peace on earth and goodwill
towards mankind" should be the
wish and prayer of every Christ
ian heart tomorrow,
10 our readers we tender the
compliments of the season with
the hope that unbounded joy and
happiness may be their portion.

HOW TO IMPROVE
OUR COUNTRY ROADS
Will Be Main Subject Discussed By
Road lien At the Agricultural
College, January 1915.
T. H. TALIAFERRO,
Maryland Agricultural College.

Maryland AGRICULTURAL college,.
In many sections of Maryland the
character of country roads not only
precludes the ready movement OF farm
products during the winter and early
spring, but reduces to minimum So
cial intercourses between friends and
neighbors who under better conditions
of travel would relieve the monotony
of winter days by visits 80 pleasant to
those fortunate enough to have home
in a rural community blessed with
good roads. For this reason, in plan
ming for short course and conference
on road making and maintenance, the
Division of Engineering of the Agricul-
tural College has laid especial
emphasis on the improvement OF the
country dirt road which may or may
not lead to the main thoroughfares 50
well constructed under the direction
of the State Roads Commission. In
addition, having in mind the many
perplexing problems which confront
the Roads Engineers in our counties,
one day in the week has been set
especially apart for free and full
discussion of the county road prob
lem by Roads Engineers and Super
visors.
Among the most perplexins Of road
problems, probably that OF financing
road construction and maintenance
without placing too heavy burden In
the way of special taxes stands frse
and will be discussed with keenest In
terest by our county commissioners
and their fellow-taxpayers. To add to
the information obtainable on this sub
ject, an expert from the Office OF Pub
lie Roads and Rural Engineering has
been invited to lead in the discussion
and give data on what is being done
in other sections of the country in
meeting this problem.
Other road problems that concern
every person living In the country
vitality will be included in the confer;
ences of the week. Perhaps, none will
be more emphasized than finding
means of keeping country roads that
have been improved in good condition.
So frequently, after improvement as to
surface our country roads go to pieces
rapidly because no adequate provision
has been made for drainage. Again
many complaints of slippery roads
have been made, where they have been
improved and oiled. Regarding this
trouble, an expert from the State
Roads Commission will give the latest
methods of overcoming it. In fact.
since the road problem is such an inn
portant one at this time In every coun.
ty and neighborhood Of the State, II
is our belief that the conference and
short course should be largely attend
ed by taxpayers, county commission
ers, roads engineers and supervisory
and many others living in Maryland
communities where the road problem
is of such prime Importance. The
complete program of the short course
and conference, beginning January 10,
which may be obtained by writing to
the Agricultural College, College Park
Md, should be in the hands Of every
Marylander interested in having more
and better roads throughout the State

WHY NOT GROW PURE BRED
FOWLS ON EVERY FARM7
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Maryland poultry raisers make
practice of mixing their breeds. They
use one male this year, get male
bird of an entirely different breed next
year, another the year after, until
finally the flock gets to look as If 1t had
been struck by lightning. Nothing
could be worse for the poultry In
dustry than this hit or miss breeding
You get stronger, healthier fowls, you
say. Let us see why you do. When
you breed from two birds that are in
any way related you increase the
chances Of perpetuating any defect
which they may both have. Being re.
lated the chances that they will both
have the same defect are increased.
When you cross two breeds or varie
ties the chances Of breeding birds to
gether both with the same defect OF
fault are greatly diminished. This
then is the only plausible reason fol-
breeding a mixed mongrel flock. Let
US see what 1t costs us to do this. Let
us see how much we gain or loose 10
the long run.
1. A good strain Of pure bred viii
lay more eggs.
4. Eggs from pure bred will be
more uniform in size. shape and color.
!. A pure bred will make better
appearance on the market.
4. The carcass Of a pure bred will
make q better appearance on the mar
ket on account of uniformity Of size,
shape and color.
S. Breeding stock Of a pure bred
can often be sold to advantage.
s. You cannot help but take pride
in pure bred flock and will give
them better attention.
Don't you really think that it would
really pay to give q little more care
to the selection of breeding stock Of
some good breed, rather than keep on
with a flock that the word hash"
would very nearly describe.
By selecting the strongest, most
vigorous and healthy birds for breed
ing, you can keep a flock in first class
condition. Instead Of perpetuating
defects, you will be making Roadway
in fixing and improving the desirable
qualities and in the meantime getting
the advantages that we enumerated as
belonging to the pure bred flock.
