SAVES MODEL VILLAGE
AT PERRYVILLE

Senator France has succeeded in
his efforts to save the village Of
attractive houses built by the gov
ernment at Perryville, as we'll as
the houses at Edgewood, near
Aberdeen, from destruction and to
make these buildings a part of the
hospital system of the county for
the reconstruction OF wounded
soldiers.
Senator France has been parti-
cularly desirous Of retaining the
village at Perryville and the build
ings at Edgewood Arsenal as part
of permanent hospital service
as he felt that the destruction OF
these plants would involve not
only loss to the Federal govern
ment but an Incidental loss tc
Maryland as we'll, while their pre-
servation and their conversion in
to the hospital system saves thu
government $5,O00,00O and gives
Accommodations for 1000 more sol
diers than would be provided TO
under the plan projected by thu
Public Health Service under thu

Gardens Will Be
Profitable This Year

The home garden is likely to
prove profitable investment of
effort this year as it has for the
past several seasons, in the opinion
of the United States Department
Of Agriculture. The experience of
the past few years has proved that
persons who have sufficient land
and spare time and who do their
home gardening work intelligently
and efficiently find it profitable.
The relatively high prices Of
practically all foodstuffs tend to
increase the saving effected, but
the home garden should be planned
with view to meeting the family
needs rather than Of producing
crops for sale on the market.

Finally, in 1916, a man named
Winkel, of Amsterdam, invented a
kind of metronome, which was
later improved by Johann N. Mael-
eel, a musician and mechanic of
note, until at last it was generally
hailed as the very thing needed.
And now all a composer has to do
to indicate the proper time at
which he wishes his masterpieces
played, is to mark on the music the
number of metronome beats to
each bar, and presto! it is DONE"
Newark post., 1919-02-26
The Metronome
A Recent Invention

Simple mechanical devices are
adopted from time to time that
meet an especially urgent need and
help to standardize certain opera
tions. Such a device IS the metro
nome, the history of which is here
given:
"The little metronome, or instru-
ment for regulating the tempo of
any musical performance, is of
comparatively recent date, and
arose from a desire on the part of
composers to allow those who were
to play their compositions to know
their wishes with regard to them.
"Centuries back there was no
need for this, for the composers
themselves were on hand to eX-
plain, and, anyway, everything was
prescribed by "schools." But as
these "schools" began 10 die out
and the individualities Of the com.
posers became marked, all recog
nized a need for some uniform
method of declaring their wishes
And most realized that some sor
of pendulum would be best.
But to change the number O.
beats per minute, according II
wish, a pendulum must be long
too long for convenience. And S
the various forms Of bullet swim!

proved unsuccessful.

HANDLING YOUNG CHICKS

The poultry short course which
was held in January at the college OF
agriculture was splendid success.
At that school the extension poultry
husbandman. Dr. NJ w Sanborn, put
himself on record as preferring the
artificial brOoder TO the hen. Howev-
er, if the hen is used he advises that
she be handled as follows:
To those who brood by the hen all
there is to say is to let the hen do
the brooding. Keep the hen free
from lice and also keep her dry and
keep the coop clean It is no real
task; all that is needed is thoughtful
ness and careful attention Baby
chicks will rush under the old hen
whenever they feel the need OF a
little warmth. It is. therefore, verv
important that the hen should be
kept dry.
Do not allow the hen her liberty
with her brood for at least four
weeks. This will give the chicks
plenty of opportunity to get strong.
Unless the grass is short and condi,
tons favorable, it is better not to
turn her out as early as four weeks
The first two weeks, however, are
the most important in the life OF
the chick, and the most important
factor is breeding during that period
The hen will do that properly if let
alone and given the proper place.
To those operating brooders the best
advice that can be given is watch"
and follow instructions. Don't he too
big hearted and overfeed the BABY
chicks the first week as it is well
known fact that more chicks die as a
result of overlooking the first week
or two than from any other one
cause.
