FATTENING POULTRY.
ROY II. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The principle of fattening poultry is
rather simple one, although it's ap
pl1cation may seem somewhat com.
plicated. Naturally the thing desired
Is to get the fowls to consume as large
amount Of feed as possible 1t would
seem that in order to do this, feed
should be kept before the birds at all
times so that they could help them.
solves at any time. This does not
hold true. In order to get birds, or
most any animal, for that matter, to
consume a large amount of feed you
will have to keep their appetites on
edge. If you keep palatabls food be,
fore them all the time they soon tire
Of It. They just eat and eat and eat
at FIRST and finally the feed becomes
distasteful to them. Fed this way they
WITH eat a lot for time, but in the
long run will not eat nearly as much
as II they were fed more judiciously.
In feeding fattening poultry always
see that they are hungry for each
meal. This means that you will not
at any time feed them more than they
will clean up quickly.
In as much as poultry is usually fat.

duction, therefore we can feed much
simpler rations.
We do not have to supply much
protein to fattening birds, therefore
the cheapest feeds can be used Corn

foods A simple and efficient ration ia
as follows:
Corn meal and wheat middlings

Potash.

Serious work on the Utah deposits
of potash was not begun until last
spring, but now rs tons of this fertlllz
err are being shipped each day. This
output can be increased many times
over-the supply of raw material is
tremendous. Unfortunately, to get to
the fields which most need it, Utah
potash must be shipped more than
1000 miles by rail and be lifted over
the continental divide; and that is not
likely to be a profitable business after
the German mines reopen.
1t would seem that the nation has its
choice between depending on foreign
potash and developing home supply
of this material reasonably close to
deep water. The Pacific kelp beds can
furnish more potassium salts than the
country needs, and should be able to
compete with the German material in
price The deposits of the interior
valley of California promise well,
though they are not going ahead very
fast.
Fortunately, there is no occasion for
any wild worry. The agricultural de-
partment of the University of Illinois
has proved that most American soils
can get on fairly we'll without extra
potash if they are treated in such
way as to make available the potassium
salts already in the ground.

does occasionally take place between
tobacco plants in the same or neigh
boring fields. If crossing is to be pre-
vented special precautions must be
taken. Even crossing between select'
ed seed plants should be avoided, for
plants which seem to belong to ex'
actly the same type may be different
in their internal makeup and if allowed
to cross the farmer will really be
growing hybrids.
A cheap and effective method OF
preventing crossing is to cover the
paper bag such as is used in grocery
stores. The bag should be placed over
the flower head at about the time
blooming begins. If any blossoms
have already opened it is important
that these be removed when applying
the bag. The suckers and small
leaves just below the flower head
proper are removed and the mouth OF
the bag securely tied to the stalk just
beneath the lower branches Of the
flower head.
After a week or ten days the bags
should be taken off temporarily, the
dead blossoms shaken out and the bags
readjusted to accommodate the growth
of the seed head. The seed heads
should be examined from time to time
and any bags which become tori
should be replaced with new ones. II
is well to leave the bags on the seed
heads till the seed are shelled out sc
as to prevent loss or mixing of seed

IMPROVING THE TOBACCO
CROP BY SELECTION
Seed Should Be Selected From I'm
proved Type Of Plants In Grow
ers Own Fields.

One of the simplest and cheapest
methods of improving the value of the
average tobacco crop in Maryland IS
to select good seed plants, choosing
only those plants which conform to
definite type considered as the ideal.
Having fixed on definite type OF
plant as the ideal, 1t should be closely
followed year after year and no plant
should be used for seed which does
not conform to this type. In this way
the inferior strains in the mixed type
will be weeded out and the crop will
become more uniform from year to
year if the selection is done with
proper care. The field should be gone
over several times and large num-
Der of plants selected IN the beginning.
BY further observation and study the
number of selected plants can be
gradually reduced till the right num-
Der for seed is reached.
The advantages Of selecting good
seed plants, true to type, are lost If
crossing with other sorts is allowed
to occur Some crop plants appear to
be benefited by free crossing between
plants but this is not the case with to-
bacco. 1t is true, nevertheless, that
under ordinary conditions crossing

THE LATE JUDGE MERRICK

One of our most prominent
and honored citizens has gone
to his eternal rest.
Judge Merrick was a brilliant
lawyer and an able judge. His
ideals were high. The distinc-
ton of an illustrious name and
of family prestige added zeal
to an ambitious nature, and his
efforts were ever directed to
good purposes.
His career on the Bench was
conspicuous for its force and
dignity. His conception of his
potion was lofty, and impress
ed all who had business in his
Court. He was courageous in
the maintenance of his ideals,
and he never filtered in the per-
Torrance II a judicial duty.
Like all mortals he had his tri-
ais and troubles, but his life was
blessed with many triumphs and
honOrs.

GROWERS SHOULD SPRAY FOR
COOLING MOTH.
Mixture Should Be Applied Before
The Blossoms Fall.
T. B. SYMONS,
Maryland Agricultural College.

Maryland Agricultural College.
In spraying for the cooling moth 1t
Is necessary to consider several facts.
First, the insect causes injury by eat
ing into the fruit, and rarely does the
spray come into actual contact with
the insect; therefore the so-called con-
tact sprays, such as are used for scale
insects or plant lice should not be EN-.
ployed. but stomach poisons, such as
Paris green, arsenate of lead or other
arsenicals, must be used. Second, the
insect enters the fruit usually within
48 hours after Matching, and is there
after beyond our reach. so the spray
must be applied in time. Third, the
fact, to which attention has already
been called, that the Matching period
for the eggs of one brood extends over
a considerable space of time; there
fore, to get the best results two or
more sprayings should be given.
Fourth. in Maryland there are two
broods of the codling moth, and to pre-
vent injury by the second brood larvae
one or more midsummer spTayings
may be applied. In spraying for first
brood larvae it must be borne in mind
that they enter the fruit at the calyx,
therefore the spray must be applied
before the lobes of the calyx close
enough to exclude the spray. Fifth,
sprays followed Immediately by heavy
rains should be repeated. Sixth, spray
only with a pump which will give good
pressure, not less than 80 pounds, and
more than 100 pounds is much better,
so as to force the spray into the calyx,
Do not spray until nearly all the petals
have fallen from the blossoms on ac'
count of danger of injury to the bios.
SONS and risk Of killing bees, which
are important agents of pollination,
Failure to observe these points cause
poor results from spraying, while prop
er attention given them should insure
an apple crop free from worm injury.
In many instances we have secured
excellent results with only one thor
ough spraying applied when the bios
SONS fall, and for ordinary purposes
this spraying will be sufficient to in
sure from 80 to IS per cent. good
apples.

CHEER UP!

These are dark days for the
world. The shadow of the war
is heavier than ever on all hearts,
whatever their symphathies.
There is little exultation now
even in victories, for we know
at what a price of blood and pain
every victory is won. But there
are many things besides war in
the world. Except for our active
imagination, most of us would
feel like running on pretty much
as usual. There is the same
sunshine, the same life-giving
air, the same autumn colors IN
the woods; the same joy in boun-
tiful harvests. There is the
same quiet satisfaction of soul
that has always come with the
fall season, whether in country
or city. Here, in our American
isolation, We can live out our
lives in spite of wars and rumors
of wars. There is need, to be
sure, of taking thought for the
future, preparing against the
time when war may bring home
to us the wretchedness that we
knew half a century ago and that
Europe knows today. But that
is a matter of calm decision, not
for alarm and fear. We are to-
day the most fortunate nation in
the world. There is no reason
why we cannot continue so. 1t
is a good time for the nation to
take to heart the philosophy that
is preached so much today to
individuals the philosophy of
confidence, of optimism, of posi-
tive thought. 1t is right and
proper that we should feel the
woes of Europe, and it is our
duty to alleviate them all we can.
But it is wrong to let those woes
weigh on our spirits until we
loose our own buoyancy and
poise. 1t is better to regard the
war as a doctor or a nurse re-

Regulate Car VestibuIes.

;sYith n request for.,i enactment. the
Pubic Utilities Commission has sent to
Conkress the draft of bill providing
for thirty days extension Of the time
allowed public service concerns to file
their an6Gal reports.
ParagFaph II OF the Public Utilities
law provides that the accounts Of the
Public, Utilities shall be closed annually
on December a., and a balance sheet
taken therefrom, and together with such
other information, as the commission
shall prescribe, filed with the commits
sion on or before February !.
II amended as proposed, the law will
allow the utilities until March l to file
their annual reports, Experience has
demonstrated, the. commission states,
that the time allowed under existing
law is too short to permit the utilities
10 close books and prepare the neces-
sary data.
The commission recommends also, the
repeal of the bill approved March 3,
1905, ''for the relief Of street car motor
nsn. The law names specific dates
within which cars without Vestibules
may not. be operated. During certain
seasons the weather is such, the COM
mission states, that open cars can be
operated without injury TO the health Of
the motormen and with considerable
benefit to. the public, and since other
matters Affecting street railway opera
