Ny Lady Bountiful has been dis

The discoveries are about three

hoisted their flag over the new-found
Misunderstanding My Lady-as sign
that it was reserved to them and theirs

The best thing about the whole bust

There are many of her. She doesn't

this parsonage whom the whole world
has been seeking since time out Of
mind about a fortnight ago, although
the news didn't leak out until a day
or so ago, when the discoveries re
turned from their new domain to New
York.
All during their return journey they
dubbed over with good nature and
could not refrain from chattering
about their good luck. In fact, so
Jolly was their party that most of the
other passengers in the railroad coach
which was conveying the youngsters
back to their former haunts turned
their seats over and rode backward,
in order to watch the gambols Of the
children of fortune.
Most of the time they were bobbing
up and down on the seats and pranc-
ing hither and thither in their end Of
the car, while they compared notes.
Note comparing was highly necessary,
because they had been scattered dur
ing the two weeks of their stay in
Bountiful Land.

Busy Work"
Every mother knows that young chill
dren can be nuisance and in the way
Just when they are trying to help with
some "work." The number of peas that
the baby can shell or the area that the
child can sweep will contribute little
to tightening the days work. But the
value Of the contribution is not to be
measured thus. 1t is TO be measured IN
good will, in application and in the
satisfaction that comes-or should
come-from having made a worthy et-
fort at doing something useful. We
should therefore not belittle the
achievement or make the child feel that
his assistance is worthless.
The child works in the spirit of the
artist. He is not seeking material re-
wards he wants the satisfaction OF
doing something that has meaning and
he wants appreciation. Without these
he will become either shirker, shun-
ring all effort. or a perfunctory grind
laboring under compulsion OF one kind

people are working at the jobs they

that what you haven't got is better

glamour Of the unattainable, and ro-

People think these things in spite Of
the realist novelists and the few real

AN ECONOMICAL RATION FOR
YOUNG POlLTRI.
Mil Feed As Well IS Whole Grain
May Be Fed To Advantage.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The price Of wheat has SO nearly
gone out Of sight that Inost every
poultry raiser is interested in finding
some substitute. A few weeks back,
oats were selling at low price, as
compared with wheat, and as they
have a similar feeding value to wheat,
could be substituted to considerable
extent Now, however, they seem to
be trying to catch up with wheat and
At present prices arevery little cheaper.
My feed dealer today quoted wheat at
about s241 per 100 lbs, and oats at
1925 per 100 lbs. When you consider
the excess Of fiber in oats they would
hardly be used. Barley has much the
same feeding value as wheat, has less
hull than oats and prices l have seen
quote it slightly cheaper than oats
pound for pound
One can use great deal of the old
standby, corn, but something else
ought to be fed with it. for it lacks
some of the protein elements. 1t looks
as though it would be a good policy to
use a good deal Of mill feeds, such as
bran and middings, for they are not
so high in price and being wheat
products are good for poultry. If the
hens will not eat enough of it in the
form of dry mash, feed some of 1t
moist In fact, the trend of feeding
methods today seems to be towards
q combination Of dry and wet feeding.
A suggested ration:
Scratch feed:-Corn.
Mash:-Bran, 100 lbs.
Middlings, 100 lbs.
Beet Scrap, so lbs.
Salt, II lbs.
Make the birds eat at least as much
mash as corn. Don't change your
ration suddenly and expect best re-
suits. The fowls must get accustomed
to new ration. -.

SENSIBLE FEEDS FOR THE BROOD
SOW.
Recommended In Experiment Station
Bulletin To Progressive Hog
Raisers.

When SOW is producing two filters
is not doing double duty. During the
period of CESSATION she must keep up
her own bodily functions and in add1-
ton supply the nourishment for the
development of the foetal litter. After
narrowing the drain upon her system in
providing feed for the young pigs, is
even greater than during the period of
CESSATION and we should therefore be
able to appreciate the necessity of sup
plying her with the proper amount OF
suitable rations at all times.
Summer feeding during the period OF
CESSATION should consist of good pas
ture and a variety, Of concentrated
grain rations. For the latter the fol-
lowing mixtures are recommended
1. Four parts of milk by weight and
one part of corn.
2. Five parts corn meal, five parts
middlings or ground oats and one part
digestor tankage.
8. Equal parts of shorts and corn.
4. Eight parts of corn and one part
of digestor tankage.
5. Six parts of corn and one part of
oil meal.
If the sows are to be fed entirely on
grains the following mixture is recon-
mended by the Wisconsin Station:
Corn meal % pounds; ground oats, %
pounds; wheat middlings, 90 pounds;
wheat bran, % pounds; oil meal, 6
pounds; salt, pounds; total, 100
pounds. This should be fed as a slop.
The winter feeds of pregnant sows
should consist largely of bulky foods
such as milk, roots, clover or alfalfa
hay, and enough of the above grain
rations to keep them in good condition.

the narrowing bed during the greater
part of the day. In low shed roof
buildings such as are generally used
for the average farm hog house this IS
easily accomplished by leaving the
greater part of the south wall open.
For those who may desire to construct
very large hog houses, the writer
would recommend that they procure a
copy of Farmers Bulletin No. 438 of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture Mr. Warren, the author Of the
bulletin, has carefully worked out a
series of tables based on latitude, that
give the correct placing of the win
dows, for securing the greatest amount
of sunlight for all sections of the coun-
try.

not informed Of the plans made
to that end. We must assume
that the Administration is in
possession of knowledge that is
hidden to US, and that there are
cogent reasons for Withholding it
from the public.
The likelihood of a deliberate
insult to the American flag is eX-
tremely remote. England and
Germany are too dependent upon
the United States to cut them
selves off from our abundant
stores. The developments OF
the war, it is true leave Eng
land in the better position to
draw upon them,-a situation
for which we are in no manner
responsible, and which does not
Justify, on Germany's part, a
resentment which would newt
ably deprive her of supplies
which, apparently, she sorely
needs.
Let US not forget that a hum
dred years ago we passed through
a similar experience, which, for
that day, was as critical as what
we are facing now and in some
of it's features far more irritating,
which eventually led to our war
of 1912. The interests involved
in 1915 are a thousand fold great
than then; the number of people
and the territory to be affected
have increased many times, and
the moral reasons for keeping
out of the conflict scarcely exist
ed at all in those days. In the
interval we have grown strong
and great and rich, and are in
fluential in the councils of the
nations of the earth. AS the one
strong neutral country we may,
at the proper moment, be in a
position to aid materially in
bringing the war to a close upon
honorable terms, with the enmity
of none and the good will of all.
No victory of arms could equal a
victory such as this!
What we need is patience
patience, and loyalty to the
President in his patriotic labor
to avert the disaster which war
would entail upon us. There
need be no fear that our honor
or our prestige will suffer-

Grow Tomatoes

Hemingway & Co., of Baltimore
are anxious to run their tomato factory
located at the Pennsylvania Station
this year, and the farmers of this
neighborhood should grow tomatoes.
Whileit is true that they may not re-
ceive exorbitant prices for same yet the
prices received are certainly adequate
to Justify the raising of this crop.
Tomatoes are raised in other sections
Of the state in larger proportion and
on a greater basis than has ever been
attempted in Southern Maryland, and
the farmers in those sections have
made great success. If this be
true why cannot our farmers do the
same? In former years practically the
only crops raised by our farmers were
wheat, corn and tobacco, and upon
these they depended for their liveli-
hood. We say continue to raise these
and at the same time raise other crops
such as tomatoes and the like. There is
not a practical farmer in the county
who can lose money by raising tomatoes
and other crops as well as wheat, corn
and tobacco. The prices for tomatoes
like the prices for any other commodity
fuctuate, hence, there is no reason
for any farmer to abandon the growing
on tomatoes in any one year because
of the low prices during the previous
year any more than there is for him to
cease raising tobacco on the same
ground. We, therefore, urge the
farmers of the neighborhood, particu
larly those who are conveniently sit
uated near canning factory at once
to make contracts to raise toma toes
during the coming year.

Simple Home Device For Saving The
Busy Housewives Time.

The Rev. Alan Presley Wilson,
clergyman of Baltimore, has devised an
arrangement for raising the wicks of
an oil-stove evenly Mr. Wilson's de-
vice consists in putting the ratchet
wheels (for engaging the wicks), on
double spindle; those near the front
being put on an outside, or sleeve
spindle, and the rear ratchet wheels
being attached on a spindle running
through the sleeve" and extending
the entire width of the wick tube.
With this arrangement it is possible
to raise one end of the wick indie
pendently Of the other, thus adjusting
the wick to give an even flame.

YOUR TIMOTHY YIELD MAY BE
INCREASED.
Application Of Proper Fertilizer Early
In The Spring VIII Bring
Results.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Everything considered, good clean
stable manure is beyond doubt the
best fertilizer for grass. But this is
not always available or 1t may be more
profitable to use it somewhere else. ON
the other hand, when the proper COM
mercial fertilizer materials are applied
at the right time, it is seldom that
profitable results do not follow.
Extensive tests at this Station show
that nitrate of soda and acid rock,
when used in combination, give the
best results. In fact, on the average
MARYLAND soil phosphoric acid when
applied alone to timothy in the form OF
acid rock, basic Stag, or in comblna-
ton with muriate of potash will seldom
pay for the cost of materials and their
application. The proper amount de-
ponds, of course, upon the soil, but
ordinarily nitrate Of soda should be
applied at the rate of $50 to 800 pounds
per acre. The acid rock should be
used at about the same rate. The two
may be mixed together and applied with
the grain drill if they are in first class
condition, otherwise it may be neces-
sary to mix in dry sifted coal ashes,
dry sand, or other absorbing material.
The fertilizer should be applied in
the spring as soon as the grass begins
to green, which is usually the latter
part of March or the first week In
April The early application OF the
fertilizer is absolutely necessary for
the maximum returns. The fertilizer
can not act upon the plant until 1t has
been dissolved and carried down to the
plant roots. Tests show that applying
all the fertilizer early in the spring
gives as good or better results than II

LEADING QUESTIONS.

Senator Lees candidacy IS
originating some leading ques-
tions, such as these:
AS a candidate for governor
when will he resign his seat in
the Senate?
Will he resign his seat IN ad-
vance of the primaries in order
that both parties may have an
opportunity, without additional
expense to the State, to nominate
candidates to succeed him, these
candidates to be voted for at the
November election?
If nominated, and if elected
governor, will he hold his seat
in the Senate until he qualities
as governor in January next?
Is it within his power to with
hold his resignation as senator
until after he takes the oath of
office and then appoint his own
successor?
Under the new law providing
for direct election of United
States senators the Legislature
takes no part in the election of a
senator.
If Senator Lee, as Governor
elect, resigns before he qualities,
then the duty of appointing a
new senator will fall to Gov.
Goldsborough. The senator thus
appointed will serve until the
selection of his SUCCESSOR at the
November election next wear.

In some communities, the first fac
tor towards making your church
success may be in getting better roads
radiating out from your church center;
for we all know that people will not
come to church at the seasons Of the
year when the roads are impossible,
and if they do get to church. they are
not in a humor to enjoy spiritual
service So that the man who said
that better means of travel while on
earth will make better means of travel
hereafter, has certainly said a great
truth
