Live Right Rather than in Sin
(By Garnett Roddy)


For number of wears | lived
in sin, that is to say that | was
ont of Christ, but | have learned
the right now and am going to
try to live in it. Why do we
linger on in sin, enjoying world
ly pleasures, as life is short aud
eternity is long? We should try
to be a follower of Jesus and do
his commands, because he's com
ing back to earth again and to
all who have been faithful his
coming will be glorious. But to
those who have not listened to
his teachings, it will be sad. For
every one has got to give an ac-
count of the way in which they
have used his words and com
mand.
And, that my friends, especi-
ally the young men, may come
to the light and turn from sin is
my earnest prayer.
say young men | mean old
ones too because it does not seem
as difficult for women to attend
the worship of God aud learn of
him as it does for men too, be-
cause | know by experience that
unless they have someone to talk
to them of living for Jesus and
finally get them to attend Church
that they had rather be on the
streets telling jokes or at some
other drag-down place.
have been in the clutch of
death more than once and | am
thankful that | was spared and
now in the right way of living
while then had never obeyed
the Gospel but was still III the
down leading way Of sin.
There Is no danger of being
too ready for death, no trouble
about doing too much and ne
fear of living better than we
should, for after we have done
, all we can do we are Improbable
servants. 1t is our duty TO d.
all we can. 81 beseech yot
therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice
holy, acceptable unto God, which
is your reasonable service? AM

So it will be better for all t

WHY NOT GROW PURE BRED
FOWLS ON EVERY FARM?
ROY III. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Maryland poultry raisers make q
practice of mixing their breeds. They
use one male this year, get a malls
bird Of an entirely different breed next
wear. 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 Ia
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 or
fault are greatly diminished. This
then ~ the only plausible reason fol-
breeding a mixed mongrel flock. Let
us see what it costs us to do this. let
H. see how much we gain or loose in
the long run.

HOW TO IMPROVE
OUR COUNTRY ROADS
will Be Main Subject Discussed BY
Road Men At the Agricultural
College, January 1915.
T. II. TALIAFERRO,
Maryland Agricultural College.


In many sections OF Maryland the
character Of country roads not only
preciudes the ready movement or farm
products during the winter and early
spring, but reduces to q minimum So
cial intercourses between friends and
neighbors who under better conditions
Of travel would relieve the monotony
OF winter days by visits so pleasant to
those fortunate enough to have home
To q 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
or 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 a free and full
discussion Of the county road prob.
lem BY Roads Engineers and Super.
visors.
Among the most perplexing of road
problems, probably that of financing
road construction and maintenance
without placing too heavy burden IL
the way 1 special taxes stands first
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 ia the country
vitality will be included In the confer
ences or the week. Perhaps, none will
be more emphasized than finding
means OF keeping country roads that
have been improved ia good condition
SO frequently, after improvement as to
surface our country roads 90 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. II fact
since the road problem is such an i'm
portant one at this time Ia 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 supervisors
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 tc

Marylander interested in having more
