Heavy Demand For Stalls At Bowie.

Not since Bowie was placed on the
racing calendar has there been such u
wild clamor for stalls as for this falls
meeting, which will be inaugurated
next Tuesday afternoon, to run Is days.
Although upward of 600 equines can be
accommodated at the course of the
Southern Maryland Agricultural AS
ISOLATION; there are over 200 on the
waiting list, and it looks like these will
be forced to join those that will be
quartered during the meeting at the old
course of the Washington Jockey Club
at Benning, D. c., from where
special horse train will be run on each
day of racing at Prince Georges Park.
A number of well-known stables
which remained in Canada until the
close of the game across the border at
Devonshire Park on Saturday will be
campaigned at Bowie before shipping
to the winter tracks and these are now
en- route to the Southern Maryland
track Although the Pimlico meeting
does not close until Monday most of
the stalls at Prince Georges Park will
be occupied by the later part of the
week, as quite few stables were shift
ed to Bowie at the close of Laurel.
There will be a big shipment from
Pimlico to Bowie after the last race is
run at the Hilltop on Saturday, while
others will follow on Sunday and Mon
day.
The book of conditions for the first
seven days of racing at Bowie were
distributed among the horsemen at
Pimlico Monday. 1t provides for seven
| races each day, with handicap, and
| no purse will be less than 5000. The
feature of the opening days program

Agricultural Fair at Baden

The fifth annual agricultural fair OF
the Baden Agricultural High Schoo
was held at Baden, Friday last. The
fair was the most successful one in the
history of the school. Hundreds OF
farmers with their wives and families
gathered from the neighboring ter
ritory to view the excellent exhibition
shown by the pupils and patrons of
the school.
Governor Harrington was the princi-
pal speaker and the guest of honor.
1t was his first visit to this section of
the country and he expressed his sur
prise and pleasure at finding so ex-
cellent an example of the ideal rural
high school.
Over 300 exhibits of the products of
the orchards, gardens, farms, kitchens
and homes of the community were
shown. A typical Southern Maryland
dinner was served by the domestic
science class of the school.
The Baden Agricultural High School,
the pride of the county, was erected
in 1911. 1t was the first consolidated
school and the first agricultural high
school to be established in Southern
Maryland. Its aim is to fit its pupils
for country life. 1t has been eminent
ly successful from the beginning. Its
enrolment has more than doubled and
the enthusiasm of its pupils and patrons
has remained undated. 1t is probably
the best and most successful example of
the newer type of rural high school to
be found in Maryland. Great credit is
due its principal, Prof. w. R. c.
Connick, through whose efforts the
school was established and who has
by his genius and industry built it up
to its present high state of efficiency.

Finds no Blister Rust in Maryland

E. R. Ford, of the Maryland State
Board of Forestry, making thorough
survey of the State, has reported that
no trace of the blister rust, which is de-
stroying white pine planting to the
north and east of Maryland. has yet
been found in this state.
covered in New England. New York,
sections of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. Mr.. Ford was sent out by the
state board to cooperate with govern
ment authorities to check any probable
spread of the forest scourge here.
White pine has long been regarded
here as a tree particularly suited for
replanting and retaining worn out
lands and it was, therefore, considered
important that the Maryland paintings
of this tree be carefully guarded.
During his survey Mr.. Ford visited
all known paintings of five-needle pines
in the state and this took him through
Is counties and around the outskirts OF
Baltimore. Fifty-eight town and city
district and eight nurseries were in
vestigated.
Currant or gooseberry bushes neal
white pine paintings were destroyed,
as it is said that this bush is the frs
host of the disease, the spores develop
ing there.
The blister rust is said to have beer
recently brought to America from
/ Europe on imported nursery stock
Its spread was rapid.
The State Board of Forestry as we
as government officials are keeping
close watch on the situation, so as t
handle effectively at the beginning an
outbreak of the scourge.

Offers Mile OF Trees.

The State Forester of Maryland, F.
w. Besley has announced very novel
plan whereby any lover of shade trees
with a roadway in need of them has
only to apply to the Board of Forestry,
at its Howard St. Office. to have their
needs supplied.
About three years ago the Board es-
tablished State Nursery at College
Park, and much of the stock then plant
ed there now being of shade tree size.
it will be possible for one person or
Civic organization in every county of
the State to secure enough Red Oak or
White Ash trees to properly plant one
mile of public roadway beside his own
and his neighbors' homes. Further, the
$50 trees needed for the work will not
only be supplied free of any cost save
transportation from the Nursery, but
the expert direction of Forester from
the Office of the Board will he avail
able in setting out the trees iE a proper
manner.
Once before, according to Mr.. Besley,
this offer was made and Immediately
accepted by the citizens or public-spirit-
ed civic bodies of many of the counties.
The trees lived, and the rural highways
are losing their appearance OF baroness
and unattractiveness, and taking on a
better much more finished look, so that
the planters feel the small expense in
volved was more than justified. The
offer now made will hold during the
season of planting. That should be
about one more month this fall, and
jewellers in the county or in communities
where lack of trees detracts from other
things should do their part at once.

ing is almost q necessity
Diversified farming may be the
watchwOrd OF the time, but it is not
Ghe principle TO follow in the house
garden. To have a little of every
thing generally means that you will
not have much of anything. The vari
cites must be limited. A number of
plants of the same habit and color are
much better than collection.
Begonias will give a touch Of color
to the winter garden. A temperature
of 80 degrees is required for them,
and they can be propagated by tubers,
leaves or cuttings. The gloxinia re-
Quires heat in the early stages. The
easiest method of propagation is from
tuberS direct. The amaryliS, or hip
peaStrum, makes a handsome pot
plant. It's flowers are large and they
vary in tint. They require very little
water to make a winter success.
The, bantana requires a fairly warm
spot for the best results, but it makes
q fine plant for winter blooming. The
Spirea, with its creamy masses and
delicate odOr is always q valuable fac
tor. Good drainage and plenty Of
moisture are required.

HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS
BY BETTY PAkE.

First of all select your seeds early
your particular part of the globe.
1t is bad business to plant your
sweet peas on the same ground sue
cessive years. If your garden is too
small to allow Of change of site
each year, remove the old soil and fill
in with new.
This soil should be rich and deep
and prepared early-the fall of the
year is a good time-if this can be
done. Dig into the ground thorough
ly slaked lime and wood ashes.
The ideal soil for growing sweet
peas is a good rich, turfy loan, thor
oughly enriched with rotted manure or
bonemeal, in proportion of three
fourths soil to one-fourth fertilizer,
according to the condition of the soil.
In sowing the peas do not SOW them
too thickly or too thinly-a fair av-
erage is one package of seed to ten
feet of garden should the peas grow
too thickly thin out to about two
inches apart.
Pulverize the soil in the trench be-
fore sowing your seeds To a depth
Of three inches see that the soil is
eXquisitely fine. Sow the seeds in
double row about ten inches apart,
about two inches below the surface.
Arrange brush for trailing the vines,
the brush should run from five to eight
feet above the ground 1t is a good
plan to arrange these supports when
the seed is sown.
Sweet peas suffer from dry and hot
weather Water them frequently and
thoroughly and give them an applica-
ton of liquid manure once a week.
Apply good heavy mulch Of long
straw manure around the ground
around the sweet peas, as soon as hot
weather sets in. This keeps the
ground from drying out and keeps the
soil cool.
The life of the vine is greatly length
ened if every seed pod is removed as
soon as they appear and by the con.
slant cutting OF the flowers.
A partial shade during the hottest
part of the day is very essential to
secure the best color in the blooms.
The greatest enemy sweetpeas
have is the cutworm and they often
prevent getting a stand Of good sweet
peas They usually take the young
shoots as soon as they appear. Water
ing with limewater helps to keep out
the cutworms A handful Of grass
dipped in a solution Of paris green will
sometimes attract and exterminate
the worms

ARE FAULT OF COMMUNITY.
Many Diseases Which AffIict Human
ity Might Easily Be Wiped From
Earth's Evils.

Some eminent physicians and sur
geons have been telling the public a
number of unpleasant truths lately
about diseases which ought to be as
extinct as the dodO, yet which kill
thousands and tens of thousands Of
people every year. As paper which
has done and is doing it's utmost to
bring home the same truths to it's read
ers the Journal hopes the eminent doc
tors will continue their campaign OF
publicity.
Diphtheria ought to be as rare as
smallpox In every civilized community.
Antitoxin is not only an almost per-
feet cure when given in time, bp, is
likewise a sure preventive, yet Giph-
iberia ranks fourth among ceuses of
deaths of children under ten years of
age. Puerperal sepsis, or child-bed
fever, is almost unknown in any well
managed maternity hospital, and ought
to be a stranger everywhere, yet it
kills almost as many women of child
bearing age as does cancer. Typhoid
is a filth disease, to be banished by eff
fective sanitation tuberculosis is
disease of bad housing and poor nu-
triton, but up to date our knowledge
Of these facts has availed only to
check these ailments, not to abolish
them.
Medical research is invaluable, but
general use of medical facts already
known would work a revolution in the
health conditions of the world.-Chi.

eskimo Lamps.

1t is believed that the Eskimo lamp
was invented before its posSeSsors
emigrated from their original home,
which was probably farther south and
near the seacoast. But the form of
the lamp becomes more specialized the
higher the latitude is. The lamps of
southern Alaska have wick edge of
two inches, while those of Point Bar
row and northern Greenland have wick
edges of II to SO inches. The lamp is
employed for melting snow and ice to
obtain drinking water, for cooking,
lighting, warming, drying skins, and
in the arts. 1t is also a social factor
and the sign of the family unit, each
head of a family having his lamp.
