Getting the Best Results Out of Fore

Getting the Best Results Out of Fore
quarter of Lamb.
Are you aware Of how much you can
get from a forequarter of lamb2 If It
is cut correctly it should give a rack
of lamb (French chops and shoulder,
besides the neck and the breast, which
may be boiled.
From these last parts one can make
croquettes, meat loaf, minced lamb
on toast and salad, besides many 9th
er cooked meat dishes The shoulder
can be filled and roasted, boiled with
caper sauce or pot roasted.
The rack, which is made up of dainty
French chops. is the choicest part Of
the entire lamb, and If the butcher
cuts the forequarter correctly there
will be twelve delicious chops. These
may be cut as needed or roasted in one
piece.
To cut the forequarter correctly re-
move the shoulder and take out all the
bone; cut off the neck and breast, then
remove the chine and the chops. Don't
throw away the bones and trimmings.
Boil and strain them, then set aside
to cool and remove the fat, which then
can be used for deep fat frying

Pigeons Spread Disease.

pigeons spread disease when flying
at large" says writer in Farm and
Fireside. ''They are very prom1scu-
GUS in their visits and carry disease
germs from infected places on their
feet. Not only do they spread poultry
diseases, but any live stock or other
germ disease Many a mysterious out
break might be traced to this source.
Flocks of pigeons are a very pictur-
esque feature Of the landscape, but
are entirely out of place in our closely
settled modern communities. They
may carry human disease germs as
well as any others"

Elkton Once More Triumphs Over
Rising. Sun.

In the last of series of games
for the championship of Cecil coun-
ty, Elkton on Aug. 18 triumphed
over Rising Sun by score of 2 to 1.
For six innings both teams were
scoreless, and a cleaner game was
never seen in the big leagues, but at
this point the one Mr.. Cloak of
Havre de Grace, who had been
chosen by Elkton to referee the
game to the best of his ability, turn
ed what the fans called a pretty ball
game into the most complete give
away ever witnessed on the Elkton
diamond, by raw decisions at the
plate, throwing the game to Elkton.
The contest was really pitchers
battle between Clay and Bonnet,
with the latter having shade the
advantage, although botn had fine
support which pulled them out OF
several bad holes.
Kirk and Cameron carried off the
batting honors, Kirk having double
and a single to his credit, while
Cameron drove across the only Ris-
ing Sun run.
In the field Biles made a spectac
ular catch, robbing Joe Clay of a
long hit when he grabbed the ball
out of the air close to the center
field fence. Kirk and Peterson also
did some good fielding. The score:

SAVING TOMATO SEED ON THE
FARM

College Park, Aug. 30.-It is the GUS
tom with tomato growers to buy their
seed from the market. This has been
done, but often times with consider
able loss to the grower. The seed. of
course, can be secured in this way at
little cost, which no doubt, has appeal
ed TO the growers more than anything
else; however. there is another con-
sideration In this connection. The
seed bought upon open market may
have come, and often does come from
plants that are more or less diseased.
The plants may not only be diseased,
but they are In many cases weak and
unprolific This is especially true Of
seed that is saved from the general
run of tomatoes at the canning houses
and hundreds of pounds Of seed are
saved every year by this method.
A much better way to secure good
tomato seed is to save it from the best
plants in the field. This can be done
by marking the plants with stake
about the time they begin to ripen
fruit and by gathering the fruit from
the marked hills separately. This seed
is squeezed out into a barrel or the
whole fruit Of the tomatoes them
selves placed in the barrel and crush
ed, after which water is added to the
contents, and allowed to stand for two
or three days, aor until fermentation
takes place, at which time the pulp
will rise and the seed will sink to the
bottom. The water is then poured OF,
together with whatever pulp may, be
removed with the water, and a fresh
supply of water added After stirring
the contents, allow it to settle and
pour of again. This may be repeated
until the seed is fairly clean. after
which 1t is removed and spread out to
G1ry In place where birds and mice
annot feed upon it.
ySome Of the Gamers of the State are
cooperating in this good work by pay
ing either the usual price or wtthin a
few cents of the usual price for the
seed tomatoes, and still allow the
grower to take home with him the
seed. This can be done very well
where the Gamer puts up a pulp or a
catsup.
Seed saved as suggested here will
yield very good income on the extra
expense Of saving it.
This is not new theory, but a
demonstrated fact, as many of the
growers are now practicing it. This
method of improving the crop has al
ready been applied to other crops such
as potatoes, in which case the seed ia
saved by the hill method, and seed
corn saved in the field, and wheat in
which the plant berry is selected from
the most prolific strains, thus produc-
ing higher yielding strains and
varieties.

A Simple Antidote to Poison.

It is a valuable thing to understand
thoroughly what ample antidote to
take if one is so unlucky as to swallow
poison of any kind. Sweet oil is to be
found in nearly every house, however
humble, and half pint of it taken i'm
mediately is an effectual antidote to
almost all poisons. Any one with a
strong constitution should take larger
quantity of this simple remedy.-Lon-

BEEKEEPERs SHOULD FEQUEEN
THEIR COLONIES NOW.

College Park. Aug. 30.-The proper
time to prepare for the seasons honey
crop is the fall before. If the prepara-
ton is left until next spring a consider
able reduction in the crop of 1918 will
result. Prepare now.
All beekeeping operations previous
to the honey flow should have for their
object the securing of&he greatest pos
sible number of bees ready for field
work when the flow starts. A colony
cannot be too strong in field bees at
this time. However, the condition Of
the colonies previous to and during
winter determines to a large extent
heir strength in the spring. Also, If
they are weak in the spring 1t is al
most impossible to increase their
strength sufficiently to secure much
honey from the early flows in Mary.
land It is essential for best results
that preparation be started this com
ing fall.
Successful wintering depends upon
the quality and quantity of food, sufi-
cient protection and room and young,
vigorous bees. Colonies should be win
tered in double bodies with 40-5O
pounds of honey in the top body. They
should also be in a sheltered place,
and packed thoroughly to protect them
from the cold. If these conditions
exist a colony of young, vigorous bees
will winter successfully, increase
rapidly in the spring and be sufficient
ly strong to produce maximum crop
even from early flows.
Numerous and vigorous workers are
the results of young and vigorous
4 queen. Usually queens best efforts
are limited to the first two years of
her life, consequently it is advisable
to requiem consistently every two
years where honey production is the
main business A young newly-mated
queen will produce quantities of Wig
orous workers, a condition which is
highly desirable in the fall when the
brood rearing
August is the most profitable time.
therefore, to requiem. New queens
may be purchased from some reliable
dealer or raised in the home apiary.
Care should be used in their intro
duction to avoid loss as it is a bit
difficult to secure the acceptance of
q new queen at this time of year The
beekeeper should acquaint himself
with the best methods of queen rear
ing and introduction so that he may
take every opportunity to produce a
few queens every year thus cutting
down the expense OF buying from
queen breeders.
Colonies headed by these young
prolific queens will develop a great
Whumber of young bees late in the sea-
son capable of successfully with
standing the winter and living long
enough in the spring to rapidly build
I'D the colonies for the honey flow.
