The first two months of the course,
which viii be by correspondence, can
be taken during convalescence in hos

It has been estimated that at the

WHY NOT GROW PURE BRED

practice of mixing their breeds. They

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

In many sections Of Maryland the
character of country roads not only
precludes the ready movement of farm
products during the winter and early
spring, but reduces TO a minimum So
eiaI 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 10 have home
in a rural community blessed with
good roads. For this reason, in plan
ming for a 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 SO
well constructed under the direction
Of the State Roads Commission. In
addition, having in mind the many
DerDlexins 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
without placing too heavy burden in
the way of special taxes stands first
and viii be discussed with keenest in
jerest 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 10 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 in the country
vitality will be included in the confer
be more emphasized than finding
means of keeping country roads that
have been improved in good condition.
So frequently, after Improvement as to
surface our country roads 80 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. In fact,
since the road problem is such an i'm
portant one at this time in every coun.
ty and neighborhood of the State, it
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,
iah may be obtained by writing to
the Agricultural College, College Park
Nd should be in The hands Of every
Marylander interested in having more
and better roads throughout the State.

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

This is a recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce. who is head of the Invalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo.
N. Y. Experiments at DIR. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to 1t. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
infiammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or II uric
acid In the blood has caused rheuma-
tism. it is simply wonderful how sure
iy "Anuric" acts. The best Of results are
always obtained in cases Of acute
rheumatism in the joints. in gravel
and govt. and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per.
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

BE PARTICULAR TO
PACK BEST APPLES
Sort According to Size and Color
BE Careful of Dampness
in Storage Place.

II you have apples to sell and they
have not been properly sorted and
packed, now is a good time to do this
work. Sort according to size and
color. and pack in small boxes with
paper between the layers, particular
ly il you have private customers, as
most people like them better that
way, than when packed loosely in bar
rels.
Be particular to select good apples
of the same size for the top layer, but
be just as particular to see that those
in the middle and the bottom of the
box are equally good.
Second quality apples should be
packed in the same way, in boxes by
themselves and the culls can either
be made into cider or worked up for
family use, or sold in the market for
just what they are. IL the second
grade apples and the culls are packed
in along with the best. you win get
nothing more than the price for culls,
as buyers always base their offering
on the poorest quality of fruit.
If the fruit is stored in the cellar,
1t must be well ventilated and per-
fectly dry, although we have found
that apples stored on cement floor
become too dry and are apt to shrivel.
There is nothing better than an earth
en- floor for storing apples. or fruits
of all kinds, provided the drainage is
perfect.
II the cellar becomes damp at sud-
den thaws. the fruit should be looked
over carefully and all imperfect speci-
mems sorted out. and the sound fruit
elevated two or three feet above the
floor.
