State Deficient in it's Bird Laws

maryland is away down on the list
of states that have legslated effective
ly for the protection of its wild life,
asserted Dr. VIM. 7. Hornaday, who be-
sides being director of the New York
Geological Park, is one of the three
trustees of the Permanent Wild Life
Protection Fund. The motto of these
trustees was thus stated:
The wild life of today is not wholly
ours to dispose of as we please. 1t has
been given to US in trust. We must
account for it to those who come after
US and audit our records.
DR.. Hornaday has worked for years
to induce legislation by states for the
protection of their wild life. But,
said he, 1.-The legislation must be from
within and not from the outside. Leg
islation by counties is useless and
simply complexities matters. Maryland
has been among the very slow states to
protect its wild life by state laws. Its
record on the subject is bad.''
Here DR.. Hornaday took from his
extensive library a book written by
himself several years ago and from it
pointed oLt the following paragraphs
as the embodiment of his conclusions,
remarking that the same comment
applies to the state today:
The list of things that Maryland must
do in order to clear her record is a long
one. Here it is:
Local regulations should be replaced
by uniform state law.
The sale of all native wild game
should be stopped.
Spring and late winter shooting of
game should be stopped.
All expectation of all game should be
prohibited, unless accompanied by the
man who shot it, bearing his license,
and the law should be statewide in
stead of depending upon separate
enactment for each county.
There should be a hunters license
law for all who hunt.
The use of machine shot guns in
hunting should be stopped at once.
Stop the use of power-boats in wild
fowl shooting.
Give quail five-year close season.
DIR. Hornaday elaborated these views
in three addresses he delivered before
as many organizations in Baltimore

DRASTIC DRUG LAW

The drastic law enacted by
Congress to prohibit the sale OF
narcotic drugs becomes effective
Monday. 1t is aimed against the
sale of all injurious drugs, and
imposes heavy penalties upon
druggists and others found guilty
of violations.
The new statute relates specl-
fically to the handling of opium
and coca leaves, or any COM
pound. manufacture, salt, de-
rivative or preparation thereof.
1t therefore, includes morphine,
codein, heroin, cocaine, eucalne,
etc. Under this law physlc-
ians prescribing and druggists
selling these preparations must
register with the collector
of internal revenue and pay a
special tax of 81 per year. 1t
is unlawful for any person to
produce, or have in his posses
sion any drugs coming under the
law without registering.
These drugs cannot be sold by
druggists of other dealers except
upon the regulation form, and
duly signed by a person properly
registered. All prescriptions
must be dated and signed with
the full name of the physician,
stating his registry number, the
location of his Office, and the
name and address of the person
for whom prescribed. Druggists
must refuse to fill prescriptions
unless so signed.
The new act precribes that no
medicine may be dispensed with
out a doctor S preScrlpClOn Wnefe
the preparation contains more
than 2 per cent. of the narcotic
to the fluid or liquid ounce. 1t
applies to opium and the lesser
known narcotics heron, cocaine
and cotlein.
All prescriptions must be kept
for two years by the druggists,
and their records are subject at
all times to inspection by the
government in an effort to detect
frauds and forgeries.
A fine of $4,000 and five years
Imprisonment are penalties for
violations of the act.

Bull DING UP RUN DOWN Or
CHARD SOILS.
How Much And When To Apply Suit
able Fertilizers.

Station.
It is, of course, best to use soils
which are fertile and in good filth
when the trees are planted, but thin
and infertile soils may be used if
necessary in order to save time if the
trees are well fortified while the
ground is being improved. The first
thing to do is to get vegetable matter
into the soil, and without large quaint
ties of stable manure this is best done
with the clovers, cowpeas, soy beans,
ETC., the nitrogen gathering or legum-
nous crops. Beginning in August the
ground should be well prepared and
fifteen to twenty pounds of crimson
clover seed per acre be sown if the
soil is not too impoverished to grow
clover, but in case it is, then one bush
ell of rye per acre should be sown in
stead. The resulting crop should be
plowed under about May 1, and one
bushel of cowpeas per acre sown at
once. This crop should be pIowed
under early in August and crimson
clover seeded Immediately.
If this plan can be followed for two
or three years the ground will be Won
derfully benefited, and if some com
mercial fertilizer can be applied twice
a year when the seeding is done. the
benefit will be much increased The
following amounts per acre broad
casted will be decidedly beneficial: Is
to 100 pounds of muriate or sulphaIe
of potash, 200 to $50 pounds of acid
phosphate OF dissolved bone, and so
pounds. of nitrate of soda or sulphate
of ammonia.

The Farm Woman
Deserves Her Share
Should Have Her Say In Making Farm
and Home investments That Pay.
H. J. PATTERSON. President.
Maryland Agricultural College.

When the farmer thinks of getting a
new binder, let him find out whether
or not new sewing machine or bread
mixer is not needed more. His wife
S the one to help him decide the ques-
ton. When he thinks of getting a
share in pure bred stallion, perhaps
he had better think twice. His wife
might be able to make a few pure
bred chickens pay even better. When
he is planning his field work, let him
see that the half days work needed
in the garden is done in season. A
good garden will help his wife take
better care of his family than a dozen
fields of corn.
A lot of things can be done about
the house. from time to time, making
it brighter and more comfortable yet
costing little. A bay window might
make the living room lot cosier and
provide place for a few flowers, q
moe, little corner to darn socks and
sew in. The farmer might build out a
bath room over the back porch with
a homemade bath tub in it. To be
sure he ought to have running water
to go with it. Why not? Some pipe,
a few tools, and a little knowledge of
pipe fitting would do the trick Add
little gasoline engine that could
grind feed and churn or run a separa-
tor. The whole outfit, engine, water.
and bath room ought not to cost over
500 If the farmer will turn to and get
busy. How many horses could he
buy for 500 that would save his wife
as such an outfit would and keep her
young?

cept as they are Influenced by
the divine spirit.
''Our own freedom from mill
tarism has been due to protect
ing oceans rather than to super
ior virtue. The present clamor
for an armament to resist q
possible attack is prompted, not
by peril. but by the disposition
to each on our side of the sea the
cries which have been heard in
Europe for years. and it is en-
rendering the same suspicious
that have wrecked the relations
of Germany and Great-Britian.
Are we to repeat the policy which
is drenching the Continent with
blood? This is the time to pre-
pare, not for war, but for peace.
"Materialistic civilization has
developed mind and energy rath-
er than conscience.
The peoples whose universities
are the greatest, whose states
men and philosophers the most
famous, whose industrial achieve
ments the most advanced, whose
armies and navies the most
Colossal, are the very ones that
are fighting. Modern science
has equipped race hatred with
deadlier weapons and thus in
creased it's power for ruin. A
world order built up by secular
education and dependent on
force has collapsed. Christianity
has not failed, but nations have
failed to be Christian.
IF nations fear and hate one
another, they will fight whether
they annually add one or dozen
battleships to their navy of 1000
or 100, 900 men to their army.
The Golden Rule must be made
effective in international inter-
course. This is the urgent duty
of the churches, and American
churches now have free oppor-
tunity to speak. They should be
the channel through which the
grace of God can become opera
tive. They should make clear
the distinction between the teach
ings of Jesus and so-called mod
ern civilization, cease baptizing
national pride and selfishness
with the name of patriotism, put
forth greater effort to make the
divine spirit leaven all human
relationships and proclaim the
missionary message international
Christianity, Of altruistic minis
tries to other people, of God as
the universal Father instead of a
national diety, of the unity of
the human race, of religion as
the power of God unto saliva

sion and brute force.

SOUND ADVICE.

The Church Peace Union is
doing admirable work in its eff
forts TO keep our country out of
war. Nothing more sane and
patriotic has appeared since the
European war began than it's
letter to the clergy and churches
of America, which we quote be-
low, cautioning them against
partisanship in discussing the
war.
This organization is composed
Of clergymen and laynen of all
denominations, including Jews
and the letter is signed by Car
dinal Gibbons and Archbishop
Glennon of the Catholic Church,
Bishops Greer and Lawrence of
the Episcopal Church, Rabbi
Hirsh and many other prominent
divines of all denominations. 1t
is worthy of wide dissemination
and should carry great weight.
1t says:
"Partisanship is adding fuel to
fires OF passion which already are
too hot. Clergymen should al
lay prejudice, not intensity it.
Each OF the warning nations be-
lleves in the justice of it's cause.
Their disputes are of long stand
ing, involve all the governments
concerned, and their full history
is yet to be written. In such a
period OF such tense feeling it is
not easy to unravel the tangled
skeln of motives and events. It
is a grievous thing that there is
war between peoples whom we
respect and count our friends.
In this calamitous hour denuncia-
ton of either side assumes a
superhuman knowledge of COM
pick policies and purposes, i'm
perlls the influence of our Govern
ment In promoting peace, aggra-
Yates a quarrel which we should
help abate, creates dissensions
among our own people, infames
a war spirit in America and gives
force to the criticism that the
Church has abdicated it's scared
functions as the maker of peace
and concord.
We should realize not only
that each of the warning nations
has helped to create the condi-
tons OF which the war is tragic
expression but that these condi-
lions characterize Americans as
we'll as Europeans. We are
quite as belligerent in temper as
other men. We should condemn
the causes Of war, but we should
look for them not so much in
state papers as in the fears, pre-
JUDGES and rivalries which are
common to men everywhere ex-

The above table shows that the. av-
erage COW produced 4786 pounds Of
milk the first year, which contained
234 pounds of fat. The second year
this production was exceeded by 1852
pounds of milk; the increase amount
ed to 80 pounds of fat. The average
COW consumed $4219 worth of feed the
first year; the second year the feed
consumed amounted to $3.50, which
represents an increase of s1.61 in the
cost of feed consumed The profit
above the cost of feed the second year
was $13.52 more than the first year
The average price of milk the second
year was higher than the first, but
the larger part of the increased profit
was due to a higher and more econom-
ical production. Every dollar expend-
ed for feed the first year returned
s2.35; the same value in feed the Sec
ond year returned s2.56-a gain Of
twenty-one cents.

citation is to make the herd return
greater profit. The first step toward
an increased production and larger
profit, is to learn how much milk and
fat each cow in the herd produces in
one year, and how much feed was re-
quired to make that production. When
this is known, the cows that do not
show fair profit over the cost Of feed
can be discarded. By disposing of the
cows that show an actual loss or that
merely pay for their feed, the average
production per cow will be increased,
and the net profit of the herd will be
larger with a lower consumption OF
feed.
In the case of the Hartford Associa-
ton, the following table tells the
story:

KEEPS HIS BOY
ON THE FARM
Son a Life Interest In Farming.
SNOWDEN STABLER

SNOWDEN STABLER.
Since every farmer who has sons
mast wish to keep them interested in
farming, | am going to tell how my
fathers system worked with me.
When he was keeping herd OF cows
several years ago, my father told each
of us boys that as soon as we learned
to milk he would give each OF US a
calf This made me long for the day
when | would be old enough to milk a
cow | used to watch the COWS and
hang around the cow stable at milk
ing time and try to milk. When | was
seven years old l got my calf l feo
this calf myself and watched 1t every
day until it became a COW. | became
SO fond of COWS and calves that the
raising of the other calves was trusted
almost entirely to me. This gave me
something to do and kept me out OF
mischief.
When my heifer was first fresh,
could scarcely stay in my skin. When
l sold her calf, felt as if l were the
richest man in the world. l saved
this money and also the money l got
for the other calves she had, my
father getting the cows snilk for her
feed Later a neighbor gave me a
nice pair of eve lambs. My father
and / both took a liking to sheep and
as there seemed more money in them
for US than in cows. we decided to get
a flock and turn the cow stable into a
sheep fold. Father went to the stock
yards in Baltimore and bought twenty
ewes, which were of very poor
grade He bought too, Shropshire
ram to go with them. l was to take
care of them when they came. !
picked out all the good eve lambs and
my father sold off the old ones as fast
as the lambs took their places until
he had nice flock of grade Shrop

shires. l got half the returns from
MY two sheep, which | used mostly fol
spending money.
Meanwhile my older brothers had
been going to the Maryland Agricul
tural College and are now both farm
managers. Last fall l came here my
self, and just as soon as l finish col
lege l shall go back home and farm
because | think it the best life there
is l think most any boy would find
farm life interesting if he had a start
like my brothers and myself with
some live stock or in some little bust
ness of his own. think it is splendid
training for boy to have to work for
q good part Of what he gets and to get
what he deserves.
