GETS BUR IN THROAT
Doctors Unable to Remove It-GirI
Suffered Great Pain.

Beverly. Kan. Sept. 5.-Little
Thelma Harvey while playing in some
way swallowed a sandbur. which
lodged in her throat and was very
painful. A local physician tried I'M
successfully to remove it, and took her
to Salina, where other doctors again
tried to get it but it had then worked
down so far that they thought it best
to let it alone. The child doesn't seem
to be suffering any ill effects from
the eXnerience.

planning the farm garden, the writer

Long before the time OF seed

County Demonstration Agents DC
Valuable Work In Organization
OF Such Associa-
tlons.

College Park. Nd. Feb. 1.-THE
rapid growth in the organization OF
COW testing associations in dairy sec
tons of Maryland during the past year
has been an important part Of dairy ex-
tension work. In cooperation with G.
Z. Wolcott, dairy extension specialist,
county demonstration agents are car
rying on an active campaign in the
organization of COW testing associa-
tons out of which in many instances
milk producers associations are de-
veloping. The records kept by these as
sociations working in cooperation with
the county demonstration agents have
made it possible for the dairy farmer
in Maryland to place his business on a
more profitable basis and demand an
increase based on accurate figures re-
garding the cost of producing his milk
and maintaining his herd.
In Montgomery county an associa-
tion representing 565 COWS, distributed
through IS herds was organized last
spring, and is now being followed by a
second organization TO meet the needs
Of the dairymen who could not be in
:luded in the first association. Similar
developments are being reported in
other milk producing counties and are
proving most beneficial in welding the
dairy interests and in making a better
grade OF product possible. Dairymen
are realizing more and more that their
demands for higher prices must be
supported by facts tending to show
that they are producing milk as
economically as Is consistent with rea-
sonable sanitary requirements. The
COW testing association and the Coun-
ty Demonstration Agent are opening
the way to more efficient milk produc-
ton and fairer returns The dairy

The sueesssfuI seekeepsr.

College Park; Nd. Feb. LIN a
recent correspondence course on bee
keeping issued by the State College Of
Agriculture, the writer. E. N. Cory,
says of beekeeping in Maryland, More
bees should be kept in the State. but
only those persons willing to care fer
and manage them properly should
think of taking up this profitable line
Of farming.
Bees demand a great amount of
study. thought and sympathetic care
in their successful management The
qualifications. therefore, Of the bee
keeper, who would be successful,
should be considered with great care"
'Tn the first place, studious habits
are essential. Though the literature
Of beekeeping is vast storehouse OF
information about the life processes OF
the bee. the underlying causes OF many
of the activities of the colonies are lit
tie understood. Study of bees. them
selves. and the literature pertaining
to them are the cardinal points in
successful beekeeping.
Energy is the second qualification.
Without study. however, much
energy may be wasted in Improbable
directions. The performance Of the
proper operations at the right time is
of vast importance. Sometimes it may
seem that thing may be put of, but
you may be sure that everything that
Is 30 be done in the aplary has
definite time for its accomplishment,
that will not admit Of delay. Putting
on supers a day too late may make a
big difference IN the amount Of comb
honey produced.
Patience is another valuable attri-
butte. Things are sure to go wrong at
times. The honey flow may be bad
for several years at stretch. Patti
ence therefore is Of great Importance.
Though these attributes are neces-
sary. they may be developed one or
all, by the mere association with the
bees, the most energetic, patient and
careful workers in the lower animal
kingdom"
