this winter in cooperation with local
farm organizations such as Oranges
and clubs. 1t has enabled many to
have the benefit of teaching that the
Agricultural College has never before
brought directly to them.
Those attending the sessions of the
short course were members Of the
club and their families, as the women
folks as well as the men are enthusi.
astic in their attendance at the lee
lures. Demonstrations were given in
selecting eggs for market, operating
an incubator, mixing poultry rations,
testing soil for acidity, Judging seed
corn, and in comparing different kinds
of lime. Especial interest was taken
in what Prof. w. T. L. Taliaferro, of
the Agricultural College, had to say Of
the value>of legume crops and lime in
building up the soil for better produc.
ton.
He said in part: Nothing will help
more in building UP the yielding power
of the soil than the use of legume
crops, such as the clovers, alfalfa, COW
peas, vetch and soy beans. These can
be used for turning in as green crops
or in growing heavy sod as the case
may be which fills the soil with humus
and nitrogen plant food. 1t is. not
economy to buy commercial nitrogen
at Is to 20 cents a pound when the
same results can be gotten by the use
of legume crops, at the same time i'm
proving the moisture-holding power
of the soil. Any of these crops can be
easily grown on our Maryland soils,
and with frequent applications of lime
will give most of the plant food that
our farm crops require.
The mistake, however, is often made
of using too light an application. Not
less than a ton OF burned lime or two
tons of ground lime stone or oyster
shells should be used per acre. Such
an application as this need not be
given oftener than every once in five
or six years so that the cost for lime
would not be more than so to so cents
an acre per year.
"In buying lime it has been found
that if pure burned lime costs $2.75
per ton at the kiln, then hydrated
lime or Stacked lime should be $2.10
and ground limestone $3.50 per ton.
What kind you should use depends
entirely upon its quality, price, and
the distance it can be hauled to ad-
vantage"

To Arrest All Offenders.

A pronounced disposition to bring
all offenders before magistrates of
the city and have them answer to
charges of breaking the city ordinan-
ces, providing that connections of
wells with the sewers of the city must
be made through a septic tank, was
shown last night by the aldermen at
special meeting of the board. On
the heels of that action the aldermen
are now preparing to arrest those who
fail to properly fill trenches dug in
j the streets Of Frederick.
Primarily the meeting had been
called to accept the bond of the city
register and tax collector, A. A. Nico-
demus, who was recently named to
take the place of the late Bradley r.
Nicodemus. The bond was accepted.
One after the other the aldermen re-
ported that the streets of the city
were in deplorable condition. Plum
bers and others have dug trenches in
the city streets and carelessly filled
them. The result is that any cam
paign that the board conducts against
holes in the street surfaces will be
futile.
Some time ago the board decided
to arrest all offenders of the ordi-
nance providing for the digging of
trenches for laying of pipes, and MAX
ing repairs and for tapping the sewers
The warning caused the plumbers and
Offenders to be more careful. But from
the reports that were made last night
by the aldermen the conditions are
worse than ever.
The matter has been turned over to
the street committee for rigid in
yestigation. Alderman Phebus declar-
ed last night that the ordinances of
the city must be obeyed and these con-
ditions must be remedied.
The mayor reported that a danger
Gus hole was discovered in the streets
yesterday, and had horse stepped
into it, would have undoubtedly brok-
en- a leg. He explained to the alder
men that by permitting such condi-
tons to exist the city was making it.
self liable to suit for damages.
With scores Of petitions for oil be-
ing received each day, the board de-
cided last night to place the matter
Of purchasing and putting oil on the
streets with the street committee. The
committee has been given power to
act, and it is very likely that the
streets soon will be oiled. For the
past several weeks many complaints
OF dust and dirt blown into homes by
gales have been made to the mayor
ana the various members of the board
The threatened tangle over class
day exercises and commencement
night for the public schools of the
city was eliminated last night when
the board voted the use of the opera
house to the Boys and Girls high
schools for one night each. One night
was given to the school commission
ers for commencement exercises and
one night was given to the Senior
class OF Hood College for it's annual
class play.

What Back Taxes From County.

What Back Taxes From County.
Confusion in the printing of two
separate and distinct measures which
ostensibly passed through both
branches of the Maryland Legislat-
ure, may be the cause of suit be-
ing brought against the county COM
missioners by the burgess and board
of commissioners of Woodsboro for
the collection of $1,04S.67, the fran
chise tax for the years 1900 to 1913
George F. Smith, burgess, of Woods
boro, and H. c. Welker, appeared be-
fore the board yesterday and asked
for the payment of the back tax. The
board refused on the grounds that
the bill providing for the payment OF
that tax had not been signed by the
governor.
The entire trouble worked out of
the fact that two bills appeared at the
legislature at the last session. One
provided for he payment of the back
tax. The amended bill provided for
the payment OF the tax for 1914, en-
tirely eliminating the years from
1900 to 1913. The unamended bill was
printed in the Maryland code of re-
cent laws, but, according to the coun-
ty commissioners. was not the bill
signed by the governor.
Jacob Rohrback, attorney for the
county commissioners, went to An
napolis to investigate. He was shown
the original signed measure. which
provided for the payment of the back
ers should pay the tax for 1914 and
not for the years from 1900 to 1913.
The franchise tax for the series of
years would amount to $1,04S.67.
Because he had made this investi-
cation and found that the amended
Dill was the one that was really sign
ed by the governor, Attorney Rohr-
back advised the commissioners not to
pay the back franchise tax
The commissioners advised the rem
resentatiyes of the council of Woods
boro to make an investigation of the
matter themselves before fling a suit
Nothing definite to the future action
OF the authorities of Woodsboro was
learned last evening.
An explanation of the entire affair
including the findings of the attor
ney for the board was explained yes
terday to the Woodsboro men by the
commissioners

THE Republicans had primary in

TINE Republicans had primary in
Baltimore last Tuesday almost all to
themselves with the exception of
some contests in the aldermanic wards. As
there was no candidate against James Ii .
Preston, the present incumbent, the
other side had the selecting of their can
didates to run against him. In this in
stance some little surprise was sprung
upon the older politicians of the city and
the state by the election Of Charles II.
Heintzeman over John Philip Hill,
whose cause was espoused by William +.
Stone, the well known leader, and 9TH
ers of his clan. Mr.. Hentezman poled
nearly IL, 600 votes to John Philip
Hill 5000. Senator Jackson was
also very active in the fight for Hill, but
somehow they could not pull the PROMO
sition off. If Governor Goldsborough
had any favorites in the contest, he was
either unable OR would not show his
hand very strongly. Mr.. Darlington,
who was candidate against Senator
John Walter Smith for Senator last year,
has long been an enemy of Mr. Stone,
and it is said that he profted very much
by the victory of Mr.. Heintzeman Be
it as it may, however, unless everybody
goes to sleep in Baltimore, there is little
chance that Mayor Preston will be de
feated.

DO YOUR HENS LAY IN WINTER?
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
When eggs are high in price, during
the winter, do your hens lay? If they
do, wouldn't you like to be able to sell
most of them? If they don't, wouldn't
you like to have eggs to use without
paying high price for them? You
can keep the eggs laid by your hens
in the spring, when eggs are cheap,
until winter if you wish. OF course,
these eggs cannot be sold as fresh
egs, but you can use them yourself,
for they are perfectly good for cook.
ing purposes. Then you can sell the
fresh eggs at the advanced prices.
The best method Of keeping eggs is
by cold-storage, but this is not avail
able to most poultry raisers. There is
method however, that can be used
by anyone-the waterglass method
The directions are as follows: Make
up solution using one part, by meas.
ure, of waterglass (sodium silicate)
and nine parts of ordinary water
which has been boiled and allowed to
cool. An earthenware jar is usually
considered best to keep the solution
in. The eggs are put into the solution
In Gs fresh condition as possible.
1t Is best, where possible, to put the
eggs in the day they are laid 1t is
also better to have them clean so that
washing is unnecessary. They will
also keep longer if they are sterile;
no male birds running with the flock
Keep at least two inches of the fluid
above the eggs, cover the receptacle
to prevent evaporation and store in
cool place. Waterglass can be OBJ
tanned either as liquid or dry powder.
The powdered preservative was put on
the market the past year.
