State Road System Complete by Fall.

Before the end of the summer the
State roads system, practically or ori-
ginally laid out by the first Roads Com
mission appointed in 1908 by Governor
Crothers, will have been completed and
open to the public This will comprise
something like 1900 miles, and includes
a main highway from Ocean City, on
the beach of the Atlantic, to Oakland,
the county seat of Garrett county,
25O0 feet above the sea. This main
highway passes through Baltimore city,
in fact, the city is the center of the en-
tire State roads system.
There is now considerable road con-
strucrion in progress, but not as much
as there was a year ago, because with
the favorable weather of 1914 more road
way was completed than it was thought
could be done.
In Southern Maryland, where there
was great cry for better transporta..
ton facilities, there is good road
straight through from Baltimore to
Solomon.s Island by way of Annapolis.
Then there is another State road from
Baltimore to La Plata and Leonardtown
by way of Washington, and future con-
sCruction will provide q highway be-
tween Annapolis and Washington city,
this being now partly completed.
And from Washington north there
has been finished a road that connects
with the east and west highway at
Ridgeville, and thus forms one of the
most important links in the system.
From Frederick there reaches north to
the Pennsylvania line another road tc
ward Gettysburg, and this is nearly
finished.
Of course, there are other State
roads, all a part of the general system,
some not entirely completed. But the
main purpose of the original scheme
to connect the county seats one with
another and all with Baltimore
been completed but for the few miles
mentioned and which are now under
construction.
Between Baltimore and Oakland
| some 200 miles, there is still to be com
pleted only few sections. Leaving

Typographical Errors.

Every week this paper, and every
other paper in the country, has num-
ber of errors ors-typographical and other
wise. That's one of the reasons
good many people think the editor
should have been blacksmith. But what
of the editors viewpoint? Ii there's
one thing better calculated to turn
rosy youth to dodder old age than, for
instance, to get death notices and
weather predictions mixed so that the
darned thing comes out in the paper
"Mrs. William Williams died last night
She has gone where it isle degrees
in the shade and with rising tempera-
ture tomorrow well-we'd like to
know what it is. Maybe you think it
pleasant to walk down the street and
hear some grinning idiot with head
like German Pancake and brain like
an added egg holding up the sheet to
caustic criticism and the editor to con-
scousless scorn! Maybe you think it
nice to hear some member of the vac
uum family remark that the editor
must make up his paper with shovel!
Or some Pinhead Percy wonder why
the editor dosen't learn how to set type!
No doubt you think it excruciatingly
delicious when an item announcing that
Miss Merry Merryville is to be led to
the alter gets into the paper as lied
by halterT Funny. isn't it? Yes it
is! 1t depends on the point of view.
Some people may think a paralyzed
man with the itch is the height of the
ridiculous, but what does the paralyzed
| man think about it? We are all apt to
| make mistakes. Don't forget that.
What would you think if the editor put
some OF your mistakes into the paper?
Remember when---, who shaves
himself, came to church with a fine
patch of whiskers on his chin which he
had overlooked? And when Miss
ct the shoe string on her switch hang
down her hack? And how Elder
caught the tail of his long coat over
| Cne neck VI Iie uoIIie III MS nlnO
pocket and went down the street
showing that sometimes the strongest
in faith are weakest in the flesh? But
we have no intention of telling these
lhings AS an editor we wouldn't be
much of hair-pin if we were bent that
way. Just remember, though, that
| we are all prone to errors and the
next time you see something in the
paper which you regard as sure sigr
of the EDITORS feeble mindedness, just
say the devil did it, and, by heck, wei
back you up.

The Marlboro Bank.

We learn that the deposits of the
First National Bank of Southern Mary
land reached its highest point so far
for the present year, on July 7th.
Deposits exceeding S544, 900, and Re-
sources over $645, 200.
This showing is of course very pleas
ing to the Board of Directors and gra-
tifving to it's host of customers and
well-wishers.
The growth and prosperity of this
Institution commenced from the dates
of its reorganization. On that day it
was declared that the future policy OF
the Bank would be to work for the in
terest of the whole county. rather than
that of the Stockholders. 1t was felt
that the safety of an Institution was
better assured by distributing the re-
sources among large number of peo-
pie, than loaning in large sums to a
favored few.
1t has been said that this Bank has
a larger number of small notes than
all the Banks in Southern Maryland.
The Marlboro Bank under the new
Federal Reserve Act is now making
Mortgage loans on farm lands. 1nfor-
nation can be obtained from the CASH
ier or any one of the Directors.

Baltimore, the first break in the road
is at Funktown, few miles this side
of Hagerstown, where the highway is
to be reconstructed through the town
| limits. The next is seven miles east
of Hancock, where the work is in pro-
gross and would have been finished
ere this except for some relocations
| caused delay. Several miles of this
| section have been finished, and all, in
cluding a new bridge over the Western
| Maryland railroad, will be ready be-
| fore autumn.
Beyond the only uncompleted sec
ton between Hancock and Cumberland
is the stretch running for six miles
east of Green Ridge. This is we'll ad-
vanced and will be completed by late
summer. This will give through road
from Baltimore to Cumberland over the
same picturesque route that was travel
ed many years ago, before the days of
railroads, by the great freight wagons
that brought the products of the Ohio
Valley to Baltimore.
Between Hancock, HagerstoWn and
Cumberland there is on this famous
road some scenery that rivals anythln G
in the Rocky mountains for real beauty,
especially in summer. At one point
on the summit of Fairview mountain,
where the road crosses the Potomac
river, far below, can be seen appear
ing and disappearing for no less than
six times.
From Cumberland to Grantsville
there is complete road every inch.
and in the town of Grantsville itself
the finishing touches are being put on
which will give smooth road to the
PENNSYLVANIA State line. Some miles
beyond Grantsville. at Keyser's Ridge,
there branches off to the left the State
highway to Oakland.
All of this has been completed ex-
cept short piece east of Bear Greek,
and this will be done by the middle OF
next month. For several miles here

and up to Accident. This road between
Keyser and Accident is one of the most
picturesque in Maryland, and at Cove
there Is a view that equals, and in some
respects surpasses, the view of the
Cumberland Valley at Pen-Mar.
Going east from Baltimore, the main
road is completed to Belair, thence to
Havre de Grace and throught North

Chestertown, Centerville. Easton, to

Anne and Crisfeld two sections are
under way and will be completed be-
fore cold weather sets in, and this will
give a good road all the way from Bal

We have obtained good results with
corn, $50 lbs, wheat bran 100 lbs.
middlings 100 lbs, beef scraps 30
lbs, and salt l u lbs, as feed for
hens which are confined in a small
yard. But suppose these same hens
were running out on large range In
the spring time where they could pick
UP worms and insects all day, do you
think they would require the same
feed? For example take meat. the
most expensive ingredient in the
feed. Would 1t be necessary to give
them SO much when they are pick
ing up meat all day in the form Of
insects and worms?
Then supposing you cheaper your
ration during the spring time by cut
ting down on the meat feed, what
are you going to do next fall and
winter when the natural meat sup
ply cannot be obtained by the birds :?
Will you keep on feeding nothing but
grain feeds, like so many do, OF will
you put in some of the meat that the
birds require for egg production :?
Hens cannot lay eggs unless they
have the raw material out of which
to manufacture them. In the spring
time they get meat feed naturally
and lay eggs. In the fall and winter
they cannot lay eggs unless you give
them meat In some form.
Note:-The various forms of milk
can be used to supply the animal or
meat feeds spoken of above. Moth
ing is better as a feed for laying
hens or growing chicks Roy H, Waite,

Timanus Now Head of 'ECut.

Mr.. Gustavus B. Timanus, of Laurel
who has been deputy superintendent OF
the Maryland House of Correction has
been named superintendent pro tenn, II
place of Frank w. Newton, who was
brought from the Elmira State Re
formatory, New York, about a yeal
ago by Governor Goldsborough ant
was dropped at meeting of the Boarc
of Directors of the institution held ii
the Governors office in the Garrett
Building, Baltimore, on Thursday o.
last week. A petition in favor of tn.
retention of Newton, which it was stat
ed hau been signed by all of the pris
oners at the institution had been sem
to Governor Goldsborough. Itset fortl
that Newton had given the prisoner:
lights in their cells so that they coull.
read and study books which he hao
provided; that he given them school
that he had given them better clothing
and that he had started construction o.
an exercises yard so that the prisoners
may exercise and avoid morbid depres
sion and meIancholia due to. stringent
confinement.
When the board took up the election
of a superintendent Mr.. Gross. who
was aware of the sentiment against
the retention of Mr. Newton, suggest
ed that he be given an opportunity to
resign He was in the corridor lead
ing to Governor Goldsborough' 5 offices,
where the meeting was being held
Mr. Newton was invited by Mr.. Gross
the invitation. The suggestion was
made that he tender his resignation be-
fore the board proceeded to the election
of his successor as his term of one year
h expired.
He declined to accept the invitation,
saying that no charges had been flee
ayainst him; that he had performed his
duties; that he had been handicapped
by the jealously and interference OF
zone man." that he had a right to eX-
pect better treatment, when over Z
year ago he resigned a desirable posi-
ton at the Reformatory at Syracuse
N. Y, and had come to Maryland. He
had fully expected, he said, to remain
here for at least four years. Nh. New
t1n was not in an amiable frame OF
mind, though he made no display OF
t t4mper and disappointment. He WIS
reminded that his term was for one
year only, and that while he had intro
duced many reforms in the manage
Ynent of The prison, his service had nCt
been satisfactory to the board.
Upon the declination of Mr.. Newtor
to resign, the board proceeded to the
election of officers. Governor Colds
borough was elected president ex off
clio; Oliver MetZerott, vice president
Colonel Jones, secretary and Director
McComas, treasurer.

SEEDING TIMOTHY ALONE ID
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
improved Quality OF Hay and Higher
Yield Result From That Practice.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

1t hass long been the custom IN
Maryland to SOW timothy with wheat
in the fall, adding clover in the late
winter or early spring. The SEED Is
placed in the grass-seed attachment or
the grain drill and allowed to fall
either behind or in front of the hoes'
usually in front. This method OF seed
ing is cheap and gives fairly GOOD re-
suits in Garrett, Allegheny, Wash1ns-
ton and Frederick counties. In the
other timothy growing counties this
method is unsatisfactory, except on
fertile soil in high state of cultlVa
ton. The low yields and poor quality
thus obtained are not due so much to
poor termination and poor stand In
the spring after seeding as to the
growth of weeds.
Where the old way of seeding tim
othy does not give satisfactory results
the only remedy is sowing the tim
othey, or timothy and clover, alone in
early fall, not with a grain crop. The
plan is to seed the wheat without the
timothy in the fall and the clover IN
the spraing; then, as soon as possible
after harvest, the stubble should be
plowed down and very firm, finely
pulverized seed bed prepared. This,
to be sure, will involve an extra ploW-
ing and preparing of the seed bed, but
the increased yield and quality of hay
more than pays for the extra labor.
A full crop will be ready for cutting
the next June or July, which will be
the same time as if it had been seeded
with the wheat, the stubble of which
was plowed down. Timothy may
also follow such crops as early pota-
toes, early tomatoes, cow peas cut for
hay, etc.
If fertilizer is sown with the grass,
then seeding with the grain drill as
when sowing with wheat in the fall,
is by far the most economical way of
seeding. But the chances for getting
a perfect stand are greatly increased
If the seed is dropped behind the hoes
and light harrow or weeder run over
the field for covering. On soils not
subject to much washing or baking
after heavy rains, the seed may be
dropped in front of the hoes and
roller run over the field to assist in
covering. This firms the soil around
the seed and brings the moisture to
the surface, which adds greatly to the
chances of getting a good stand.
Where fertilizer is not sown with
the grass the seeding can be done
more quickly with wheelbarrow
seeder, covering with spike tooth
harrow or weeder, and, wherever con-
ditions permit, following with the
roller.

POULTRY PROFITS DEPEND ON
PROPER FEEDING.

Do your hens have free range? II
they do, are they able to pick up feed
on this range? If so what kind of
feed do they get? These are few
of the questions you will have to con-
slider before you can feed your hens
intelligently. Hens require certain
things in their feed. They get some
of these things naturally and some
have to be supplied from the feed
bin. You may think that proper
feeding of poultry is merely giving
them what they will clean up proper
ly, but this is far from right.
