Save The Late Moulter For A
Breeder.

College Park, Nd, September 2s.-
In answer to inquiries regarding the
selection OF breeding stock, Poultry
man Roy H. Waite, of the Maryland
Experiment Station. offers some prsc-
teal suggestions regarding the using
of late moulters. He says, Don't
kill off the old hen Just because she
waits until cold weather before shed
ding her feathers. True, she isn't a
very pretty specimen running around
nearly naked during a cold season of
the year. but she has a reason for so
doing. She has been using her energy
and the feed she has consumed for
producing eggs.
''If you have such hens in your flock,
It will pay you to mark them in some
way, so that you can hatch some eggs
from them next spring. Toe mark or
leg band scme Of the coekerels from
them and use these for breeding the
next season. The pullets may not be
anything special for they inherit their
egg laying ability from their sires.
High laying cannot be transmitted
from the mother to the daughter. but
high laying female transmits her
laying characteristics TO her sons.

Why Feed Expensivelyf

College Park. Md, October 26.-
Poultry keepers are facing a serious
problem in feeding their laying hens
economically, owing to the high price
of whole grain. Poultryman Roy H.
Waite. of The Maryland Experiment
Station, gives the following timely ad-
vice regarding the feeding problem;
There is no excuse at the present
time for feeding poultry on corn alone.
Wheat prices have gone out of sight
for poultrymen. AT least it does not
pay to feed the good grades, especially
If It has to be bought. Corn is nearly
as high, b. is about the only grain
that one can afford to feed. I was
very much surprised a few days ago
to ind that I could purchase ingredi-
ents with which to mix a good poultry
mash cheaper per hundred pounds
than corn.
Corn was s1.05 per bushel, retail
Bran was $3.50 per hundred pounds.
Middlings were $3.50 per hundred
pounds
Beef scrap was $500 per hundred
pounds
AT these prices, paid SlS7 per hun
dred for corn and but $3.50 per hun
drsd for mash containing 20 per cent
beef scrap and so per cent of wheat by
products. There is no good reason
for not feeding mash when it is cheap
or than corn.
Hens cannot lay on corn alone. They
must have more protein than corn
will furnish. Hens that eat. but do
not lay, are complete loss. no mat
ter how high prices of eggs are. Why
not turn them into a profit? Com
mercial meat scrap. table or butcher
scraps, skim milk, etc, will furnish
protein in good available form"

RUTTERMAKING
IN THE WINTER
Allow Cream To Ripen Before
Churning.
KEEP CREAM AT 70 DEGREES

College Park, Nov. 23.-churning
should be completed in about 80 min
utes. Timely suggestions relative to
making butter have been written by
G. E. Woleott, Dairy Extension. Mary
land State College. Mr.. woleott says:
During the winter season farm wives
often experience a great deal OF diff
hculty in churning. Frequently the
cream Is ehurned for several hours be
fore the butter gathers. The churn-
ing can be completed in about 80 min
utes if the proper precautions are OBJ
served in caring for the cream be-
fore it is placed in the churn. Diff
Guilty in churning during the winter
months is generally due to the low
temperature Of the cream before and
at the time it is placed in the churn.
In order to make churning easy and
at the same time produce a desirable
aavor in the butter, the cream should
be allowed to ripen or sour. If held
At a temperature Of 20 degrees for
several hours and frequently stirred.
a clean acid favor will develop. and
the viscosity Of the cream will be de-
creased. BY decreasing the viscosity.
he churning will be more complete
and will require less time and en-
ergy.
Before placing the cream in the
churn the temperature should be re-
duced about 60 degrees. II most of
the cows in the herd are well along
In their period OF laetation, II may
be necessary to churn at higher tenn
perature in order to bring about
complete churning within a reasonable
time. The greater the agitation, the
more quickly will the churning be
finished This can be brought about
when the churn is not more than half
full.
When the churling is completed,
the fat globules will gather in gran
ules about the size Of kernel Of corn,
and the butter will stand well out Of
the buttermilk.
After drawing of the buttermilk,
wash the butter in water at the same
temperature as that Of the butter
milk. The amount Of wash water
should be equal to the amount Of but
ternilk removed from the churn.
After washing add one ounce Of
salt for each pound Of butter. The
amount of salt to add will vary with
the taste of the consumer. The salt
can be distributed and buttermilk re-
moved by careful working.

An Opportunity For A Higher
Education.

College Park, Nov. 23.--Attendins
the high schools, academies and prep
aratory schools in Maryland are many
young men whose ambitions urge them
forward to college, where they would
receive an advanced training to bet
ter At them to make a success In their
chosen vocations.
These young men fully recognize the
advantage OF higher eduoation-they
know that those who are best prepared
will win out in the battle Of life"
They realize the force of the argument.
backed by facts, that the earning ca.
paeity of the college graduate exceeds
by far that Of the high school and
graded school graduate. They are con-
vinced that the time and money spent
in securing advanced training is the
best investment to be made at the
present period Of their lives. They
appreciate the handicap that an un-
trained man endures in the competi-
tion for positions in all walks Of life.
More evident is this in progressive
farming than in any other profession.
Some Of these young men are for
tunately situated regarding the ways
and means to finance four years at col
lege There are many others however.
without this advantage, and they must
secure other means Of getting at least
q part of the funds to support them
in obtaj'iTis collegiate education.
Especially to these is the following
opportunity valuable: Eighty-iye
young men Of Maryland each year have
the chance to obtain 20 per cent. of
the total fixed expenses necessary to
attend the Maryland State College.
The fixed expenses include room with
heat and light, board. laundry, books
and medical attention and amount to
$4,000.
To encourage worthy young men
who desire a collegiate education the
Board of Trustees OF the Maryland
State College awards to each of the
high schools, academies and prepara-
tory schools Of Maryland whose gradu-
ates are eligible for entrance into tho
Freshman Glass, one scholarship each
year with valuation Of $4,000 This
scholarship continues for four years.
Here is a chance for any deserving
young man in the State. This money
is not loan in any sense Of the word,
but is a credit placed directly to the
individuals account.
The selection for these scholarships
is made upon the recommendation Of
the Principal and Superintendent OF
the schools in the county, and cities.
Now Is the time for young men in
high schools to decide to obtain one
Of these scholarships by leading in his
studies and by otherwise demonstrate
ing to their officials that they are
worthy Of recommendation.
All the average Maryland boy wants
is fair chance. Here is the oppor.
tunity.

THE ROOSEVELT LETTER

If is noteworthy that Col Roosevelts letter say ing why the Progressives should support husnes 'O' President not only ignores the Republican platform infact intmates that the Democratic patt2rm Is sat isacory-but gives reasons for his support or Husnes tbot arc not even suggested by that platform He permits the inference that Hughes stanas TOT nrorr.m that is much more nearly at agreement with be strong arm and iron heel position of The Colonel than with the principles enunciated at Chicago
 l., truth running all through the letter between tbe lines is the suggestion that many agreements have been arrived at since the Chicago convention I'm short t would seem that most of the platforms that Is to be the basis of the campaign has been arranged ,. inc continuous string of secret conferences that have been in progress since the adjournment of the conventions In other words the dickering that be- gan at Chicago which involved promises or Caoinet positions and many other things, has been eontnueo
 And this suggests that some of the Hughes sup porters are now asking that definite promAe oe given that Col Roosevelt will be made Secretary or Stste in case of Hughes election and Roosevelt for Secretary of State" clubs are being formed TOY the purpose of taking part in the campaign. Are we 10 consider them in connection with the hooSe'ef' letter which ignores the party platform?
 It is also noteworthy that The Coonels denun citations of Wilson in general terms He does not noint to anything that Wilson has done that he should not haze done or that he left undone that he should have done. unless we except the mtma ton that he should have protested at the invasion or Belgium and at the time of the invasion ot beisium The Colonel agreed with the President
 It is significant that at place in his columns of words did The Colonel refer in any manner to the great economic reforms of the Wilson administration. But The Colonel has never been strong on economic matters He has always thought more of armies, straight shooting and the size Of families than or tar riffs and finances.
