Making Use OF Good Times.

When bad times come, capital has
to discharge much labor, and then the
cry of unemployment arises and CAPT
tai is attacked for the bad times,
which it hates as much as labor does.
AS long as the corporate industry ex-
lists, we are sure to have unemploy-
ment and socialism would increase It.
We are soon to have good times.
There will be lots Of work and good
wages. During that time, let work
ers be economical, save their money
start little sidelines of business or
buy piece of ground. That is being
done every year. There is nothing i'm
possible about it, and when it is done,
hard times won't bring so much I'M
employment. This is the way capital
started in the first place.
And this little process not only
gathers gear and makes a man self
reliant, it also makes him a worthier
citizen, better husband and a truer
neighbor. Make use of the good times
coming, so you can say when the bad
times come, I'm ready for you."-

POTTED PLANTS FOR THE
LIVING ROOM.

Many lovers of flowers who have
not the time to bother with an indoor
window-box, enjoy keeping number
of potted plants in the living room dur
ing the winter. Some, in fact, have
turned a bay window into a small
conservatory or winter garden merely
by an attractive arrangement of plants
in separate pots. When a window-box
Is filled, the plants must be of the
same general character to be success
full, but if ones winter garden is made
up of plants in separate pots a greater
variety may be kept, as each plant
may receive different treatment in the
matter of light, watering, soil, etc, and
palms, rubber plants, and cacti which
call for special handling, may be
addad

Rare Operation Performed.

A dermoid cyst, which appeared at
the birth of the child, and very I'M
common with infants, was removed
last week at the City Hospital from
the abdomen of Catherine Brendle, the
16-month-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Brendle, of Taneytown. Last
night, from an authoritative source, it
was reported that the child was doing
nicely and would recover.
The cyst developed with the child,
being hardly apparent at birth. When
the operation was performed at the
hospital, the cyst contained a large
bone and a portion of a foot had de-
veloped.
1t is reported that members of the
medical profession of the city and sec
tions OF the county were unusually
interested in the case, because of its
rarity. 1t is probable that the cyst
will be placed on display in hos
pital
When taken to the hospital the child
was in an unusually emaciated condi-
tion. AS the child grew older it's
physical condition became worse. But
for the operation the child would have
died.

Obstacle to Endowment.

Many of us are plenty old enough to
remember the big open fireplace, the
enormous amount of wood it required
to keep it going, how the cord sticks
had to be dug out of the ice and snow,
how it was a struggle to get the big
back log in place, how every morning
the fire had to be started over again,
unless you were cunning enough in
woodcraft to hide some Goals deep
enough under the ashes to keep them
until morning, how in the early hours
of the bleak days the rooms of the
house were so cold it required great
courage or the insistent commands
of the head of the house to get up
to make that fire. But this is not
all. 1t will be remembered also that
in real weather the fire from the open
side of the room baked you on one
side while the other side was frozen,
and all the day long the frost on the
windows maintained the beauty of the
formation into pictured mountains and
valleys undisturbed by the heat from
the burning logs.

SEED CORN SHOULD BE
SELECTED SOON.
Desirable Ears Only Should Be Saved
and Tested For termination.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Some time during the winter every
or more getting his seed corn ready
for planting. 1t will pay well to study
every ear before Smelling. If the seed
has been stored properly it will soon
be "as dry as BONE" and ready for
the re-selection and elimination proc
ess. Some apparently fine ears last
fall will be found undesirable in many
respects. Discard all ears that have
discolored grain or cob, or a dead APP
pearance Also discard all ears that
feel light in weight for their size and
that have small, sharp kernels, and
germs of poor development and ap-
pearance.
Do not retain any ears excepting
those showing good development and
maturity, that are heavy for their size
and contain strong, vigorous looking
kernels Of fairly uniform size and
shape. In making the selections do
not give too much weight to fine butts
and tips the portion between the butts
and tips is the most important. See
that the ears are of good size for the
season at least. On the other hand,
do not choose a great big ear-they
are freaks, representing undesirable
rather than desirable qualities of the
variety. A good ear, excepting in the
mountain sections, should contain be-
tween Is and % rows, with grains
about " inch in length.
After the selection comes the test
for termination. If the seed was we'll
dried out before hard freezing weather
set in the chances are that termination
will be nearly perfect. But one Is
never certain and the only way to
make sure is to pick out promiscuously
80 or 100 ears from the pile and ger
inmate at least grains from each ear,
taken from as many sections of the
ear. If the test shows nearly per-
feet termination it can be considered
sufficient evidence that further testing
is not necessary, but if the test shows
low termination then each ear should
be tested and all discarded that have
one or more grains that will not grow
or show weak sprouts.

ORCHARDlSTS SHOULD GUARD
AGAINST SCALE INJURY.
Spraying With Lime Sulphur Solution
While Dormant Is Recommended.
T. B. SYMONS.
Director of the Extension Service.

1t is now the duty of every orchard
ist to examine his orchard and pre-
pare for the dormant spraying, for the
control of the San Jose scale. In
some sections of the State, we have
received reports that the San Jose
Scale has increased considerably dur
ing the past season; in others, it has
not given much trouble. The pest
should be watched carefully in each
orchard, and only after very
thorough examination should the
orchardist decide not to treat or to
skip season Of dormant spraying. In
the case of peach trees the orchardist
should remember that dormant spray
ing with lime-sulphur tends to reduce
injury from curl-leaf.
The concentrated lime-sulphur solu-
ton is now quite generally used for
the control of the pest. 1t can best
be purchased from manufacturers or
the solution can be made on the farm
When only small orchard is to be
treated, it is undoubtedly best to pur
chase the solution, but if large mum

grower desires to practice economy, he

no difference in the effectiveness Of a

and good manufactured product. For

Where possible orchardists should
secure power sprayers, as not only the
dormant spraying, but treatment later
on the season when trees are in
foliage, can be best applied, and more
satisfactory results secured with such
outfits. The barrel or other hand
pump should only be used for very
small orchards which do not justify
the expense of purchasing power ma

NEIGHBORHOOD SHORT COURSES
A NEW FEATURE OF EXTEN-
SION WORK.

The Neighborhood Short Course now
being given in various sections by the
Agricultural College, rural and subur-
ban people for instruction along any
particular line in which the neighbor-
hood is especially interested; that is,
more thorough and extended than is
possible at one-day meeting or visit.
The Neighborhood Short Course is
conducted for four days at any given
place. Sessions may be held in the
morning and afternoon, or evening, de.
pending upon the desire and conven-
fence of the patrons.
Instruction is given in the following
subjects: Soils, Farm Crops, Orchard
Crops, Truck Crop, Gardening, Dairy
Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry, Plant
Diseases and Injurious Insects. 1t is
recommended that not more than two
OF these subjects be discussed at any
one school, so that each may be con.
Quoted as thoroughly as possible.
The aim is to give lectures on the
subject supplemented by practical
demonstrations. The most essential
thing for the success Of the neighbor-
hood short courses is,-that the farm.
ers, business men or commercial clubs,
the women, the school teachers and
superintendents,-in fact, everyone
shall interest themselves in the course,
and take an active part in the plans
to secure the course, and carry IL
through to successful conclusion.

Directions Heat about twenty gal
Ions of water in an iron vat or by
steam in barrels to near boiling, and
add stone lime and sulphur gradually,
to prevent boiling over. Vigorous
motion will take place and cold water
should be near at hand to be added

gallons. The solution should boil
vigorously for one hour. 1t is then
ready to be stored or to be diluted and

it is necessary to exclude air from it
as much as possible, by either filling
up the barrel or other container com.
pletely with the liquid, or by putting a
film of oil on the surface of the solu.

UNHAPPY FATE OF DRoNES
joyment and Sad the End That
Awaits Them All.

Drones are usually looked upon as
lazy, useless creatures. They never
do any work, but are fed by the work
er bees on the best the hive can af-
ford, and this in a season of the year
when the workers are busiest for "a
hours day with the gathering and
curing of honey. Why do the bees
treat them with such respect in the
busy harvest time? The reason is
that the bees are raising a number of
young queens at this time, for the fu-
ture generation. The queen is des-
tined to be the mother of all the bees
reared in the hive for the next year
or two. She is the only one in the
hive that can lay eggs, and she will
some day lay them at rate of from
two to four thousand a day. The
drones are the male bees raised at the
same time with the queens. From
their midst the virgin queen will some
day select her mate. Without them
she could not attain maternity, held
by the bees in greatest honor. For
this reason they are treated royalty
until the wedding trip of the queen.
When she returns "a widow, leaving
her drone-mate USUALLY the most per-
sistent of all suitors) dead in the
field, the bees make short work of the
remaining drones. They seize them
by the neck and throw them out of
the hive bodily to die of hunger in
the midst of plenty.-Francis Jaeger.
