ooN'Ts FOR cuNNERs.
From the New York Times


The fall cunning season is on, and
every year the hunting brings with it
it's spoils in the form of human sacri-
fees. For the benefit of gunners who
are planning TO go after game this
fall, the following list Of don'ts is
given
Don't take any chances. The func-
tion OF shotgun Is to scatter shot,
but be very careful where you scatter
il.
Don't blaze away in haste and don't
get excited. Many a shooter has filled
his favorite dog full of lead just be-
cause he was overanxious.
Don't point a gun at any person in
Jest. II is always the gun that ''we
didn't know was loaded" that goes of
and does the damage. The only time
TO point gun is when you intend to
kill.
Don't take every rustic of bush or
a bough to be sure Indication of
game. Remember sometimes an in
quisitive person has penchant for
being In strange places.
Don't carry a loaded gun through
the stree. or on cars, trains or auto
aaobiles or any other kind of vehicle,
or leave il around farmhouses to have
some child playfully blow head of.
Don't get excited and shoot without
making sure that your object is game.
Don't shoot until you see the rabbit
and then be sure that he Is clear of
both man and dog.
Don't drag a gun under fence with
the muzzle pointed toward you.
Don't climb over fences with your
gun or lean il against tree until you
get over. Put it through the fence
and on the ground business end before.
Don't hunt with any one that you
know to be careless. Carelessness
with three and a quarter drains Of
powder behind and one and one-eighth
ounces of shot is inviting ''Sure
death"
Don't load your gun until you are
actually ready for business. AT all
other times 1t should be empty. Keep
your finger of the trigger until you
are looking down the barrel ut your
game.
Don't use a cheap gun. as il is apt
to explode when a heavy charge is
used.
Don't borrow dog or gun or loan
either.
Don't rest on the muzzle of your gun.
Don't violate the game laws. II Is
not only criminal but sometime very
costly.
Don't hog" all the game. Leave
a little behind for the next fellow.
Don't rest the muzzle of your gun on
the ground. A gun muzzle. clogged
with dirt is dangerous proposition.

The failure Of The Sun To COM
ment favorably upon the magnificent
showing made by the Democratic
party in St. Mary's in the recen'
election is bringing the great Mary
land daily in the limelight of local
disapproyal. II is said by those who
are well yersed in ST. Mary's political
history that never before was so
large a majority given a Democratic
candidate for Governor, and those
who consider themselves partially
responsible for the laudable result
are clamoring for their share OF
the glory.
The one hundred and eighty one
votes over the Republi IAN applicant
is, after all. in close fight, snch
rs was the recent one, nothing to
be treated lightly and were it moi
for the fact that The Sun contribut-
ed very largely by its timely and
logical editorials to the success Of
the party and the redemption OF
the State from Republicanism we
would be tempted to join the knock
ers. HoSever, we hope that the
majority tor the years to come viii
be so large as to attract favorable
comment from even the national
dailies.

II will be noted that the average
COW produced 30 pounds more but
terfat the second year than the first
or the 420 cows in the association the
FIRST year. some were found that were
not paying for the feed they con-
sumed. and were discarded. The cows
that were making q profit were fed
according to their ability to convert
feed into milk. and consequently
yielded more milk and fat for a dol
lars worth OF feed
The third year the increase over the
second amounted to Il pounds OF but.
terfat. During the third year the In
creased production was brought about
by better methods OF feeding and bet.
ter management Practically all the
cows that were not paying for their
feed had been sold before the third
year of record work began.
These records demonstrate the
necessity Of keeping records Of pro
duction and feeding each cow accord
ing to her production.

The boys and girls clubs, like other
clubs. should be considered a. a
means to an end. The club work
should result In greater vocational
efficiency. II tbs club has for its pur.
pose the study Of literature or his
tory. a. il the case Of reading clubs,
we should naturally expect greater
proficiency from its members In these
lines. Likewise. II the club In organ
lied for the study or agricultural prob
lens. we would expect Of its members
Advancement In farm pursuits. Or. IL
IL In a club organized In a manufac-
turing town 90 further It's own prod
ucts. IL should result in greater skill
and efficiency in the factory. The
history Of boys and girls clubs. where
they hare been run successfully.
shows that their desired ends have
kesn accomplished.
These clubs win necessarily differ
In purpose and scope Of work under
taken. Al has been said. the ultimate
end Of this organized effort should be
greater efficiency. The club work
must be vitalized. IL must pertain TO
the industries Of the locality. In the
locality where q rural high school ex-
lists. the club need not concern itself
with the study Of the elementary pin
ciples Of agriculture, but may devote
its time 10 more scientific problems
and their applications. However, in
the many localities OF this State,
where such advantages do not exist
the initial work Of the club would be
TO teach the elements. The end OF
this type or club would be 20 have the
local school assume the responsibility
Of the elementary instruction work q
soon az possible. In either instance
the club In composed Of individuals In
the adolescent period. and In order to
be effective. its educational featurs
must be Its strongest argument.
Since the clubs are educational In
their character. the logical place fol
their organization In at the school
building. The teacher should call the
meeting and form an organization
To begin with. It might run a. simply
school club. but eventually. II should
reach all OF the young people OF the
community. All that IL needed ID
some one to take the initiative. Lead
ers who will keep the movement 20
ing will soon be developed. II Is ad
visable TO have some older person
who may act In an advisory capacity
% member Of the club.
Probably the easiest time OF the
year TO form q club OF boys and girls
is the autumn when the school opens
At this time the children are eager
for companionship. and are readily or
ganized for special work. Il Is. how
ever, not essential 70 wait until the
opening OF the school year to organize
Get together a group Of boys and girls
who are willing to devote q definite
amount OF time to study. and you viii
have the basis of a successful club.

sesscnabls Planting OF Wheat 10
Recommended
NICHOLAS scHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The loss IN this state Of the 1915
wheat crop from the Hessian az, while
not generally - severe As In some
years In the past. was nevertheless
considerable. and should be taken as q
warning OF what may follow in an
other year. Now IL the proper time
TO begin Aghting this pest. and In
order to combat Il effectively some
thing must be known Of It's hfe-his-
tory.
There are at least 2 generations
Of the hy each year. one in the fall
and one the following spring. The
spring generation may be considered
as the children OF the fall generation.
At the present time the fiy may be
found in the wheat fields in what IL
known as the 'fiaxseed" stage, from
which the adult win begin to emerge
about the middle OF August and con-
tinue TO do so until sometime in
October or later. depending upon the
weather and latitude. The maximum
emergence usually occurs the last 2
weeks In September or the first week
tn October. depending upon the local
tty. The usual recommendation
given for combating the fiy by disc
Ing or blowing under the stubble
early in July or August are not prac.
teal in Maryland. because the ma
Jority Of the stubble fields must be
left on account of the grass crop
they hold. The best methods that
the Maryland farmer can employ are:
First. seeding after the maximum
period of adult emergence, and, sec
! ond. crop rotations. Trapping the fly
by sowing narrow strips OF wheat and
later blowing them under deeply and
packing the land firmly by rolling will
help when this IL practical All vol
untaTy wheat should also be de-
stroyed, or. what is perhaps better.
It should not be allowed to grow.
II must be remembered, however.
that II one man makes every effort
| possible to destroy the fiy the eflec.
tiveness Of his work may largely be
destroyed II his neighbor does not do
the same thing. since the fiy may go
from one field 10 another to lay the
egg which matches into the magot
that does the damage. Therefore the
adoption OF a date which will make
q uniformly safe period for the SOW.
Ing OF wheat in each locality by all
farmers Is of greatest importance.

State Entomologist. he has recon-
mended the following dates I'm the

MYSTERY IN MURDER CASE
BODY of woman Found Under Pile of
Stones In Vacant Lot

NEW YORK, April Io.-New York
police were confronted to-day with
one of the most mysterious murder
cases OF recent years, after the dis
covery OF the body of woman under
pile Of stones in n vacant lot I'm
Roscdale Avenue, the Bronx. An
autopsy tonight revealed that the
woman, who was about TO become n
mother had been killed by AK blows
on the head. She was foreign born.
and wore wedding ring.
Hoops and slaves from broken
barrel found near the body and the
close proximity of the New Haven
Railroad tracks caused the police to-
night TO work on the theory that the
woman had been murdered at some
distant point and her body packed in
a barrel.
Apparently she was twenty-five
years Of age. of medium height and
weight. Her clothing was dark and
OF inferior quality.
Two rings and two cheap pins were
the only jewelry found. Short, dark
hairs. which detectives thought were
those OF man. were on comb found
near the body, and also inside n torn
glove taken from the woman's hand.
