The beautiful memorial to Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder Of Christian Science, has been
turned over to The Christian Science
Board Of Directors by Ebert S. Bar
low Of New York City, who held the
contract for its construction.
The memorial, which is at Mt. Au-
burn cemetery, Cambridge, Mass, has
required over a year and half to
complete. The fund for it's construction,
amounting to over $150,000, was first
announced by the directors in June. 1911
and was some time ago fully subscribed.
These contributions have been made as
expressions of sentiment by Christian
Scientists throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial is

OPPORTUNITY FOR BEEKEEPERs

College Park, May 24-In letter to
Maryland beekeepers, G. H. Gale, OF
the Maryland Agricultural Extension
Service, calls attention to the impor'
lance of the production of honey in
view of the threatened shortage OF
our sugar supply. Mr.. Gale says:
I'm spite of favorable factors, only
q small fraction of the honey con
sumed In the State, even in normal
times, is produced by Maryland bee
keepers. In fact the condition Of the
Bookkeeping industry in the State, as
q whole, is latent and capable of a
great development.
with little advertising most of the
honey produced can be easily sold on
home markets, and there is conse'
auently small need to sell the crop
to Wholesalers. The larger produc
ers. however. by application to the
TO the once of Markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture may
this year secure honey market reports
TO be issued in May, July, September
and November, upon which they may
rely for prices and markets.
Here, then, Is an opportunity fol
the beekeeper to do his bit for his
country and at the same time increase
HIS business in such q way az TO make
st OF lasting benefit 70 himself.

Mary lands Equipment For Care OF
tuberculosis Patients

L
| Maryland's present equipment for
the hospital and sanitorium care of
tuberculosis patients totals only 814
| beds. If we had previously adopted
the standard in vogue in most states
and in the more advanced nations of
the world We would have at least
one bed for every death which occurs
annually in the state, or about 240O
beds. AS the course of the disease
averages about three years there are
approximately three times 24OO or
1900 living consumptives in Mary
land all the time. If we had hos
pital facilities for one-third of this
number we could rapidly decrease
the death rate.
If the experience of Europe means
anything we may expect an increase
both in the morbidity and mortality
from tuberculosis of nearly 100 per
cent, so that instead of having 1900
we will have something more like
$4,000 consumptives in Maryland
within a year after our troops have
been in the trenches.
With the present administrative
and culinary equipment less than
100 beds could be added to the pres
ent institutions in the direct emer-
gency. To this might be added,
however, 100 or more beds in tents
at the State Sanitorium, but these
for the summer months only.
To Double Capacity.
By charging the kitchen equip
ment, adding dormitories for nurses,
and building additional shacks for
patients, the capacity of existing in
situations could probably be doubled
for a sum not to exceed 100000,
provided a State Commission or
State Board control of state institu-
tions be created which would have
authority to carry forward building
operations simultaneously.
To the above estimates there
should be added 100000 for the
beginnings of hospital for negro
consumptives to be used as an
emergency war hospital.

One System

Insofar as the handling of GOV
eminent business is concerned, the
railroads of the United States are
now as one big system. They are
cooperating for great national
efficiency, and all competition is
torn down when it comes to solic-
itation of government business.
This has been brought about by
the action of the Eve members Of
the special railroad committee on
national defense. Terminals mean
nothing and equipment is pooled.
To all intents and purposes the
railroads of the country are one ma
tion-wide transportation system,
and they are for the government
first, last and all the time.

B The beefmani keeps cows to convert

The dairyman should keep COWS,

The beefman should keep cows, such

that produce good calves.
The dairyman should breed his COWS
to a dairy-bred bull. The beesman
should breed his cows to heef-bred
bull.
Purebred bulls should always be-
used. High-grade cows are as econom-

A purebred bull will increase the

Even if the lime should improve only
the clover crop directly, the soil would
be improved and the subsequent crops

be improved directly, also.
All legumes contain considerable
lime, and the clovers and alfalfa, id
particular, require a neutral or aka

the bacteria which assist the plant in
securing nitrogen from the air.
II is possible that poor success with

other causes as we'll as to lack of lime.

be thrown away.
If each Of Americas 1000, 600
families waste only one ounce Of
meat daily this means 1850, 900
pounds of valuable animal food,
or the gross dressed weights of

Every bit of lean meat can be
used in soups, stews or in combi-

PRODUCE HIGH
GRADE CREAM.
tennessee Farmers Who Keep
Dairy Cows Can Thus
Increase Profits
CLEAN MILK CLEAN CREAM
Many Farmers Are Selling Cream and
Getting Regular Pay Checks in Re.
turn-Permanent Success Depends
Upon Production Of Clean Cream.


Good, clean cream should be pro.
duced on every Tennessee farm where
dairy cows are kept, according to G. A.
Hutton, Dairy Specialist Of the Di-
vision Of Extension, University OF
Tennessee, Knoxville.
Just short while back says Mr.,
Hutton, THE Dairy Division Of the U.
$. Department of Agriculture, seeing
the importance OF good cream to the
South, gave its recommendations,
based on years OF experience. The
points made by the government work,
ers should be we'll taken in Tennessee:
Clean milk is absolutely indispensa-
BILE to the production of clean cream.
To produce clean milk the barn, barn
yard, mixers, and milk utensils must
be clean, and the COWS must be clean
and healthy,
"The cream separator and the milk
utensils should be thoroly washed
and scaIded as soon as possible after
they are used. as particles OF milk or
cream left in the separator or on uten.
sils act as a starter and cause the
cream to sour more quickly.
Cream should be separated SO as
to contain from 80 to IS per cent OF
ibutterfat. as rich cream does not sour
so quickly as thin cream. Rich cream
leaves more skimmilk on the farm for
feeding purposes, reduces transporta-
ton expenses, makes less bulk to han.
die on the farm and in the creamery,
and usually reaches the creamery in
better condition.
Cream sours very quickly at tenn
peratures above co. T.; therefore. II
should be kept at as low temperature
as possible. Cream should be cooled
Immediately after it has been separat.
cd, and should be kept cold until de.
liyered to the creamery. Cold water
is an effective agent for this purpose.
Fresh cream should not be mixed with
cream from previous skimmings unfit
it has been thoroly cooled, as the
addition Of warm cream raises the tenn
perature OF the older cream and
hastens souring
Cream SHOULD be kept in a clean,
well-ventilated place in order that OBJ.
jectionable odors may not be absorb.
ed from the atmosphere.
I'm order to keep the cream smooth
and uniform and prevent the forn1a.
ltion OF Jumps, 1t should be thoroly
stirred each time a new lot OF cream
Is added to the older cream.
In the summer, when cream is en-,
route, the cans should be entirely COW
cred with wet sacks or blankets to pro.
tect the cream from the heat.
TO insure the delivery OF cream Of
good quality, 1t should be delivered
at least twice a week In winter and
three times week in summer"
