May Complete Work June Is

The application Of oil, together with
a coat of stone chips on the State
roads in this and the various coun-
ties of the State has begun. Resident
Engineer G. A. Tenney said last night
that in all probability the work would
be completed by June Is. The firm
Of Bamberger, Chapman Company is
applying oil on the State road from
Middletown to South Mountain or the
Frederick and Washington county
line. This firm constructed the road
and the application OF the coat of oil
Is part Of the contract.
The Good Roads Company, which
has the contract for the application
Of Aztec oil on State roads in Freder-
lex, Washington, Howard, Carroll and
probably Montgomery counties, has
begun oiling on the State road at Mid
dletown.
Less than a quarter Of a gallon Of
OIL Is being applied TO the square yard
OF road surface. Sixty-hve tons OF
chip stones are being applied TO the
| mile. The commission has ordered a
somewhat heavier application of stone
this year. A heavy roller is sent over
! the newly-oiled roads Immediately af-
ter the application Of stone chips.
The construction Of about one and a
half miles OF State road at Emmits-
burg 10 the Mason & Dixon line is
| progressing rapidly. Bester & Long,
Of Hagerstown, are the contractors.
The one other State road contract,
the Jefferson road, with the NJ. j.
Grove Lime Company, Lime Kiln.
contractors, is being rushed to a I'm
| ish.. This viii perhaps be all Of tine
new work done in this county this
season.

POLLARD's SECRET LOST.
LusitaRia Sinks With Poisonous Gas
Explosive Formula.

EADIOsIte EOTuulds
New York, May 16.-When the Lusi-
tania went down it carried with it
Henry Pollard, and with him form
ula for the manufacture of poisonous
gases which he intended to offer TO
the British government.
Pollard hoped that the gases would
be effective as retaliatory measure
against the Germans in the trenches
He had given much time and infinite
study to working out the formula, and
was convinced that in operation the
gases would prove more destructive
than anything invented by German
scientists.
The discovery that led to the form
ula for the manufacture of gas bombs
was the result of an accident. Nj
Pollard was an inventor and had
many patents to his credit. One of
his latest inventions had to do with
the use of liquid ammonia in the man
ufacture of ice. 1t was while en-
gagged in installing machinery for the
ice plant in Washington last month
that an accident gave Mr.. Pollard the
idea of the gas bomb.
An explosion occurred in the plans,
which rendered several men uncon-
scious, and in one case had almost
fatal results. The inventor investi-
gated the prime cause of the explo-
sion, and took measures TO prevent
its repetition. In the course of his
investigation he discovered that he
had found something that might in
terest the British government and
would help to Offset the effects of the
gas bombs used by the Germans.

become sick. In other outbreaks the
disease runs chronic course, hogs re-
naming sick for many weeks. and
finally recovering. Even in the acute
outbreaks some of the individuals NAV
show this chronic form Of the disease
But in these chronic cases where re.
covery does finally occur the animals
are never thrifty. If they were young
when they were affected they remain
stunted, if they were full grown when
attacked they never fatten properly.
II is to be recommended that
there should be as little communica.
ton as possible between any place
where hog cholera is known to exis,
and all neighboring places.
The disposal of the carcasses of all
hogs that have died of hog cholera is
also most important matter. Every
hog cholera carcass should be burned Of
deeply buried, and in the latter case
the carcass should be thiclrly covered
with quick lime before the dirt i.
shoveled in the pit But burning il

SOY BEANS WELL SUITED TO
MARYLAND.
Excellent YleIders OF Both Hay and
Seed-Plant After Corn.
NICHOLAS SCHULTZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

In Maryland the soy beans are just
beginning to receive serious considera-
ton as a general farm crop in a few
locations. They are well adapted to
Maryland climate and soil. They will
grow anywhere corn will grow, and
like corn, thrive best on rich, loan
soils. 1t is, however, on soils too poor
to grow corn proftably that soy beans
will bring the greatest net profit. On
soils of this character, when inoculated
and fertilized with a little inexpensive
fertilizer, they will produce nearly as
much forage and as much as or more
seed when grown on rich land.
Generally speaking, soy beans re-
Quire the same kind Of preparation of
the seed bed as corn; and, as in the
case Of corn, it is better to thoroughly
prepare the seed bed before planting,
than to have 1t poorly prepared and
depend upon cultivation for getting
the soil into proper condition.
Where seed production is the object,
soy beans should be planted in rows
"a to SO inches apart to allow for cul-
tivation. When planted in this man.
ner, one bushel of seed is enough for
2 or g acres. The planting may be
done with a corn planter or with a
wheat drill regulated for planting 2
bushels of oats or COW peas per acre
and having the proper number of seed
holes closed so as to give rows the
desired distance apart The aim
should be to get the plants about 2
inches apart in the row. The cultiva-
ton and the implements for doing this
are the same as for corn.
For hay production the beans should
be sown broadcast at the rate of ia
bushels per acre, and for this purpose
there is no implement better suited
than the wheat drill The seed should
never be covered more than 1 inch
deep except in very sandy soil, where
it may be covered 2 inches.
Soy beans may be planted from any
time after corn planting is finished
until July 18th. depending, of course,
upon the variety, location and for the
planted. From June LIST to goth is the
ideal time for planting. For hay and
seed it is best to plant the forepart OF
June to. insure good curing weather
for the aay and to insure plenty of |
time for late varieties to mature seed |
before frost. For late fall hog -pasture I
and for turning down as a green /
manure crop they may be planted as
late as July 18th, if an early variety |
is used. /
Few Maryland soils are naturally In.
oculated for soy beans and since these
beans will not thrive well, without be /
ing inoculated, except on very fertile
soil, it is necessary to inoculate when. /
ever planting for the first time. To |
accomplish this, 2 or hundred pounds /
of soil taken from a field which has |
grown them successfully should be |
over the land before seed |
ing the soy beans and narrowed in i'm. |
mediately. Inoculating with artificial |
cultures has given but little success
when the material is applied and the |
beans allowed to dry for sometime
aftervard Much better results are
secured when the beans are planted !
before the inoculating material is dry
on the seed.

Take lime to uproot.

That primitive and animal instincts
and impulses still survive and sur
prise US by their unexpected mani
festations does not seem so wonder
ful, perhaps, when we recall the many
thousands of years in which these
factors we're supremely dominant be-
fore the comparatively brief period
since man entered upon his modern
and civilized stage of life.

How Binds EorestaII Weather.

Migratory birds and fowls that go
north in summer are sure to fly south
previous to cold and stormy weather.
When these birds are noticed flying
in circles, and darting restlessly
about, there is usually a severe at
mospheric disturbance not far distant,
such as a cyclone or tornado.

Pictures hung by a single wire have
an annoying way of getting uneven, on
account of the slipping of the wire on
the picture hook This can sometimes
be avoided by first hanging the picture
face to the wall and then turning it
around. The single turn this makes in
the wire near the hook prevents slip
ping.
