BARRELS ARE OFTEN USEFUL
FOR BROOD cooPS.

There are other troubles also like
cape worms, getting caught out in a
storm, being killed by other hens,
caught by crows or hawks, being
trampled on by mother hen, ETC., but
even with each of these something
can be done as a preventative. For
instance, use new or clean land each
year for the chicks or cultivate and
clean up the old each season after
brooding is done and there will not
be much trouble from gapes Have
the shelter close by when the chicks
are young so they can get in out OF
storm. If you let them roam all
over the place, having the shelter in
one field and then in another, of course
they will get soaked at the first storm
If you don't get them in. In order to
keep them from getting killed by other
hens you can and should wherever
possible keep the young chicks in
yards away from the general flock.
If crows or hawks get after them
I'll excuse you for calling it bad luck,
but even here there is much that can
be done if you will only stop to think.
If you can't protect them any other
way you can shut them up by them.
selves until they get good start. A
gun is pretty good crow scarer but
crows are certainly wise" and aim to
come around when the gun is in the
house. A couple of king birds or bee
martins have nestled in the orchard

les away from the chicks. If you don't
want the chicks trampled on by the
mother hen give her a good roomy
coop with plenty of light.

Spic and span, encased in bright
gray uniforms. more than 100 high
school cadets, headed by the cadet
band, marched through the streets of
Frederick last Tuesday afternoon as a
prelude to the fifth annual field day
exercises Of the Boys High school. 1t
was the one day in the year in which
the cadets held for virtually an entire
day the attention of the general pub
lie. Hundreds of people thronged the
curb lines of the main thoroughfare.
Standing on the curb at the square,
Mayor Lewis H. Fraley said: THAT is
an inspiring sight. Let me tell you
the high school cadets are a credit to
Frederick. That parade is made up
entirely of high school boys and mem
bers of the cadet battalion"

Lightning Destroys Barn.

Accompanied by hailstones as
large as hickory nuts, and rain that
poured down in torrents, the worst
electrical storm OF the season broke
over the lower end Of Frederick coun-
t. late Saturday afternoon. The only
serious damage reported was the
burning OF the barn on the place Of

which was struck by lightning. Au-
tomobiles on the roads were tied up
because Of inability OF the chauffeurs
to see ahead Of them.
a bolt OF lightning struck the Boy
ct barn about p. m. shortly after
the storm broke and the structure
was burned TO the ground despite the
efforts Of neighbors TO save it. The
men fought the blaze in the pouring
rain.
At the time no one was home other
than Mrs Boyer and her daughter,
3Ir. Boyer having driven away on bus
mess earlier II THE day. They both
felt the shock, but neither was in
jured.
There was no livestock in the barn.
a carriage and farm tools were de-
stroyed The loss, it is believed. win
be between $3.50 and $500. The loss is
said to be partly covered by insur-
ance.
While the rain flooded the lower
portion Of the county in some places
in the northern section there was 10
rainfall at all.
The storm continued for about ali
hour when it gradually lessened and
the evening developed into one Of the
pleasant ones of the spring.

many organizations will send repre-

have made during the past year in
promoting agricultural development.
There is probably no time Of the
year when greater variety Of work
can be seen in progress at the Agricul.

Crops are sufficiently advanced to
show the differences which have been
brought out by selection, fertilizing.
lining, etc As a result, the farmer
who has been told, for instance, that
top dressing Of grass lands improves
the grass yield, can see for himself
the difference between the land on
which fertilizer has been applied and
that which has been left to make
natural growth. He will also see for
himself the results of experiments
with wheat, winter oats and other
cereals, and will leave the College al

done for him and for his neighbors.
The men in charge Of the various
departments will be constantly in at

County Agents and other guides who
have been selected, TO bring the vari
Gus lines Of work to the attention OF
visitors. There will be an inspection
of the dairy barns, the poultry plant

he will become familiar with the vari

BROWN ROT WILL RUIN PEACH

Too much importance cannot be at.
tached TO the spraying for fruit protec-
ton against insects and disease Oft
en- the whole crop is lost through
injury by Curculio, followed by Brown
Rot. The Curculio winters in the
adult stage, appearing just as the foil
age develops on peaches and plurns.
Il feeds upon the foliage for little
while, then, the female beetle, laying
her eggs, does the principal injury 20
the fruit By making q semi-circular
cut in which its eggs are laid. The
egg matches in a short time and the
small larva makes its way into the
center Of the fruit and there develops.
The fruit rots and drops. the larya,
escaping into the ground and later de
veloping into the adult beetle.
The beetle is controlled by spraying
with Arsenate OF Lead at the rate Of 2
pounds TO 50 gallons of water. This
poison is usually combined with the
self-boiled lime sulphur wash, fungi.
eide which viii control Brown Rot.
The self-boiled lime sulphur is made
by shaking S pounds OF lime in sufi-
cient amount of water. and adding
pounds Of sulphur when the lime be-
gins TO slack. The mixture must be
kept stirred and the water added as
needed. TO keep pasty condition until
the lime is all slaked The heat gen.

sulphur TO mix physically with the lime
in very fine state, but should not be
continued long enough to form much

the mixture taking on a yellow or

strained into the spray barrel and the

CAUTION:-TheC Concentrated Lime
Sulphur Solution. such as IS used in
dormant or early spring spraying
should not be used on peach or plum
foliage under any circumstances.
Where T-own Rot has previously ap.
peared, the first application OF the
above mixture should be made just
after the fruit sets and before the
shucks are OF the peaches. A second
application two weeks later is very
necessary and a third treatment a
month before the fruit is ripe is very
desirable. Not only will this treat
ment prevent injury from Curculio and
Brown Rot, but also from Peach Scab

RID THE FARM HOUSE OF THE

T, B. SYMoNS,

1t is most important to kill the early
appearing flies and to remove their
breeding places The task of com.
batting the pest in rural districts
around farm houses is largely an in
dividual one and its presence in large
numbers or to a limited extent will
depend upon the sanitary conditions
that are maintained around the house
and barn.
Since house flies may carry germs
of typhoid fever, dysentery, tuber.
culosis and other diseases, we would
do well to observe the following
rules:
1. Keep flies from breeding (a) by
hauling stable manure out each day
and scattering it Immediately over the
fields, or (b) by putting the manure
In a vault or screened room.
2. Keep all outhouses from breed
ing or communicating flies.
8. Keep all filth and garbage in
closed receptacles.
A. Screen all foods exposed for
sale.
8, Do not let flies come in contact
with food.
6. Screen all doors and windows,
especially those of kitchens and dining
rooms
