Fatal Accident on Pennsylvania Il. X.

In collision on Tuesday morning
between work train and a hand car
on the Bowie Popes Creek Railroad
near Hills, Isidor Raymond HURT, AZ
wears old, was killed and E. Il. Low
man, of Odenton, was very seriously
if not fatally injured. Lowman was
working for the day in place OF the
track foreman at Iceland.
1t seems the work train was backing
from Marlboro to Iceland and the hand
car was coming down from Iceland to
Marlboro, when they met on sharp
curve near Hill Station. The other
members of the track gang jumped in
time to save their lives. HURT had
only worked for the railroad one day
and leaves several small children abso-
lutely penniless. Judge Ridgely sum-
moned jury, which, after viewing the
body and hearing the testimony of
witnesses, rendered verdict holding
LoWman responsible for the accident in
not taking proper precautions.
DIR. Reverdy Sasscer rendered first
aid to the wounded man, bandaglng
the broken limbs, etc, and preparing
him for the trip to the hospital.
HURT lived on the LOG Cabin farm
belonging to Mrs. B. H. c. Bowie.
The funeral services were held at st.
Barnabas Church, Iceland on Wednes-
dav, Rev. Mr.. McManus officiating in
the absence of the pastor.

Maryland Can Raise Hogs Probably.

Maryland is suitably adapted to hog
raising and instead of buying pork as
is now being done, the State should be
raising a surplus to the country at
large. Maryland has a climate that a
Western farmer would consider ideal
for raising hogs. In many parts of the
State corn can be raised to advantage
and forage crops can be raised more
economically than in some farming dis
tricts of the West.
The best sack in which to market
these crops, is the pigskin; but that
great enemy of the swine raiser-Hog
I holera-has discouraged Maryland
farmers from trying to raise hogs. To
assist the farmers of Prince George g
County in overcoming this handicap,
the Extension Division of the Maryland
State College of Agriculture, the State
Board of Agriculture, and the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry, CO.
operating, have arranged to send q
specialist into the county to work with
the county agent and further assist the
farmers. The campaign will be start
ed next week, meetings have been ar
ranged as follows:
Sept, Is, Upper Marlboro-Court
House, at p. M; Sept, rs, Mitchell
ville-Hall, at p. M; Sept, 27, Bowie
Hall, at p. m.
Everybody is urged to attend these
meetings and help control hog cholera
in Prince Georges County, which will
place swine raising on safe basis, en-
courage the production of better hogs
and develope greater source of prof
to all farmers in the county.

County Agent.

Wedding Bells.

: On Saturday evening last the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. T. Cotfren, this
town, was the scene of very pretty
wedding when their daughter, Miss
Magadalene Beatrice was married to
Mr.. James E. Vogts, of Washington.
The ceremony was performed at seven
o'clock by Rev. F. j. Loughran, assist
ed by Rev. Rosiak, pastor and assistant
pastor respectively of st. Mary s
Church.
The bride was becomingly attired in
white crepe de chene and carried brides
roses. Her sister, Miss Blanche
Augusta Coffren was maid of honor,
and Mr.. Wilson Vogts, brother of the
groom, was best man.
The house was attractively decorat-
ed for the occasion with evergreens,
ferns and hydraniums.
After the reception given to few
relatives and friends, the happy couple
left for wedding trip to Niagara Falls
and other places.

GOOD PROFIT IN
PORK PRODUCTION
CAREFUL FEEDING AND MANAGE
MENT URGED BY COUNTY
DEMONSTRATION AGENTS.
FARM BOYS INTERESTED
AGRICULTURAL Club Members Learn
How To Properly Feed
tho Sow and Her
Litter.

College Park, Md, April 19.-The
Importance Of pork production Is be-
ing urged by county demonstration
agents. Particularly, in the boys az
ricultural clubs great interest is be-
ing aroused and large number OF
members are enrolling In profitable
pig growing contests. These young
Bters are busy discussing the instruc-
lions furnished their county agents by
Or. S. 8. Buckley, specialist in live
stock work for the Maryland Agricul-
tural Extension Service. DR.. Buckley
says, regarding the feeding OF young
pigs:
IF the SOW has had proper feed and
care she will have plenty OF milk for
her pigs. and the pigs will take just
about all she can supply. But the
pigs are getting older and larger day
by day, and require more feed. Fin
ally the pigs will notice that the feed
which is given to the SOW tastes good,
and they will begin to eat a little
from the trough. You should prepare
ahead for this time, by making parti-
ton in the pen with the bottom raised
high enough from the floor to let the
pigs get under, and strong enough to
keep the SOW on her side of the pen.
In the part prepared for the pigs place
small trough. You then are ready
to feed the pigs some special feed-a
side dish. Skim milk or thin slop
made with middhngs or bran, a soup
made by boiling corn, peas or beans
and thinned down with water, or in
fact, any grains that contain no hard
hulls or indigestible portions will sat-
lsfy and benefit the pigs. Never feed
It sour.
Keep the trough and pen clean,
and always have enough straw or
other litter for warm bed. AS the
give it to them. Never give them
more than they will clean UP. If you
no-remove 1t at once-wash the
trough and feed little less next feed
ing time. Don't get them fat, sleepy
and LAYOUT feed them to make
growth-aim to make them longer and
broader and in good condition, but
not fat. When the pigs look thin
both front and rear but fat around the
middle, you know your method of feed
ing is wrong. Such pigs need more
peas, BEANS alfalfa, clover and less
corn, whether this corn is actually fed
to them or whether they find it. Give
them chance to Craze and get exer-
else, and see to it that they take it.

Chestnut Blight Still Busy With
Maryland Trees.

The blight which has been attacking
the chestnut tree in this and other
States is still killing trees. and no less
authority than State Forester F. w.
Besley says that it looks now as if prac-
tically all the chestnut trees of the
State will ultimately be destroyed by
it. Mr.. Besley says that no means of
fighting it have been found and that
there is no encouragement to believe
that any will be found.
1t looks now as if all the chestnut
trees of the State will ultimately be
DESTROYED. The blight is a fungus
growth, No insect has been found
which will attack it and chemicals have
been found to be useless. The chemi-
Gals kill fungus, but they also kill
the trees. AS the blight attacks trees
of all sizes, it is useless to try to raise
new trees. Pennsylvania, spent $3.50,
900 trying to find something which
would kill the fungus, which attacks
the inner bark of the tree. 1t failed.
So there does not seem to be anything
to do but hope that we may find some.
thing in the future.
1t had been reported that city OF
State health authorities had forbidden
the sale of chestnuts, because of the
danger arising from eating nuts from
tree affected by the blight. Mr..
Besley was asked about this.
"There is no danger in eating gooG
nuts which come from trees affected
by the blight" said Mr.. Besley." The
report which was circulated last year tc
the effect that some man died as a re
suit of eating chestnuts from trees af
fected by the blight was untrue"
Chestnuts are said to be especially
plentiful throughout the State this
year.
