AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

This is the time of the year to be
thinking Of the winter supply of eggs.
If there is no green food growing around
your house to which your hens may
have access during the late fall and
winter 1t is not too late to provide for
it. Manure heavily an acre or less of
land and get it in good condition by
rolling and narrowing and then sow
some wheat or rye. Sow it thick as it
will pay you 100 per cent for all your
expenses. The hens can be made to lay
all the winter if properly fed And
why not feed them in the right way
They must have food. 1t will cost very
little more to feed them with the right
kind OF food than it will to feed them
with corn and corn and corn.
With plenty Of eggs we can sell some
Of the pork we have been eating and
our health will not be impaired any
thereby Occasionally we can sell some
eggs and buy some beef. And that re-
minds me of the statement made by one
Of the meat dealers OF the county. He
was asked why he never bought any
front quarters. His reply was, "The
people will not buy them from u.s." Can
we not get up an order for beef and
see our nearest meat dealer and get
him to order front quarter for US?
They are quoted at one-half that the
hind quarters are selling for.
Keep on the lookout for the potato
wart when you dig your late potatoes. 1t
has been discovered in West Virginia
this fall.
We who must feed green corn must
not forget some very sad experiences
OF cur own and Of others. Valuable
horses and cows have been lost by not
being careful when we commence to
feed green corn or green fodder. II it
is fresh and not half cured it will not
be SO dangerous. 1t seems to be more
dangerous when in half cured state
Feed very lightly OF green corn to
horses until they get used to eating it.
Now is a good time to put that Binder
out Of the rain. OF course it ought to
have had shelter long ago but never
too late to put it away. So for ali the
pieces Of farm machinery that we will
need next year.

REPUBLICANS WILL PROTECT
TOBACCO GROWERS.

The republican party in its platform
adopted at its convention held in Balti-
more on Thursday last adopted a plank
pledging its candidates to protect the
farmers Of Southern Maryland from
the embargoes which have been placed
on the shipment of tobacco due to the
congestion now existing in the State to-
bacco warehouses. This pledge in the
platform upon which the republican can
didates stand must appeal to the tobacco
growers of this section Of the State re-
gardless Of party This plank is espe-
cially pleasing to our farmers because
Of the fact that the party whenever in
power has always carried out its prom
ises. Knowing Mr.. Nice as we do we
feel justified in saying that If elected
he will do all in his power to help the
tobacco growers and every farmer in
the State.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION.
In the Circuit Court for Charles County,
Maryland, in Equity.
No. 1886 Equity.
John Munson, Plaintiff,
Maggie Munson, Defendant.

The object of this suit is to obtain a
divorce vincula Matrimonn by the
Plaintiff from the Defendant. The Bill
alleges that the parties intermarried on
or about the Goth day of June. 1892,
and that there have been born OF said
marriage four children, all of whom
are at present residing in Washington
City, District Of Columbia. That the
Plaintiff has resided for more than four
years Immediately preceding the filing
OF this Bill in Charles County, Mary
land. That though the conduct OF the
Plaintiff towards the Defendant has al
ways been kind, affectionate and above
reproach, the Defendant has without
any Just cause or reason abandoned and
deserted him and declared her intention
to live with him no longer, and that
such abandonment is deliberate and final
and has continued uninterruptedly fol
more than four years, and that the sep
aration of the parties is beyond any
reasonable expectation OF reconciliation.
That the Defendant, Maggie Munson,
is a nonresident Of this State and re-
sides in Washington City, District OF
Columbia.
1t is therefore ordered by the Circuit
Court for Charles County in Equity
this 21st day of August, 1919, that the
plaintiff, by causing copy of this order
to be inserted in some newspaper, pub.
lished in Charles County, once a week
for four successive weeks, before the
eth day of September, 1919, give notice
to the said absent Defendant of the
object and substance of this bill, order
| ing her to be and appear in this Cour
in person or BY solicitor, on or befor,
the 18th day Of October, 1919, to show
cause, if any she may have, why de
cree ought not to be passed as prayed
