Be Here on Janu-

Episcopalians of washington are
looking forward to the visit here on
January 16 of Right Rev. William p.
Remington, newly appointed Bishop
of the Diocese of Eastern Oregon.
At the time of the general conven-
tion of the Episcopal Church at Port
land. Greg, last September Bishop
Paddock resigned his position in east
ern Oregon because OF i'll health.
Within few hours after the resig-
nation was accepted Bishop Reming-
ton was nominated and confirmed as
his successor. Bishop Remington's o
work among the Indians of South
Dakota was so well known through
out the church that there was no
question of his fitness for the higher
rank. Transferred from the praIries
of Dakota to the lumber camps of
Oregon, Bishop Remington has con-
tinued his successful work of upiift
among men accustomed to hard work
In the open air. His account of these
two fields will seem more like a ro-
nance than a sermon.
Bishop Remington will speak at q
joint meeting of the Woman's Aux
tliary and the Sunday School Institute
in Epiphany parish hall January is
at pm.

Many Eastern Shore of Maryland
Farmers Are Finding the Raising
OF Beef Cattle Profitable


Facing a steady decline in efficient
farm labor and a falling market for
their crops of grain, farmers of Queen
Anne county are planning to take up
the raising of beef cattle for market
The movement combines a two-fold
purpose. Grain raised by the farm
ers is fed to the beef cattle, which
fattens at a profit to the farmer above
the price which the grain would bring
in current markets. An experiment
made this year by several farmers
showed that the cattle gained 3-5
pounds per head, daily. The feature
having noticeable effect in increasing
activity in cattle feeding is the SER
iOus labor shortage on farms. Cattle
feeding usually requires relatively less
work than any other type of agricul-
ture, especially where the cattle are
made to harvest the crop and where
self-feeders and open shed shelters are
required. Many farmers where there
is not sufficient labor or facilities for
economical production in other agri-
cultural lines, find the raising and
feeding of beef cattle a profitable en-
terprise. Another advantage is the
conversion of otherwise unmarketable
roughage into salable form. The cat
tie feeder also may market his pro-
duct in concentrated form and with
greater facility than many ordinary
crops. Farmers generally are said to
agree that fertility of land is restored
more easily and economically under a
system of live stock farming than un-
der grain farming, and the value of
animal manures for increasing crop
production is not the least of the in
ducements to stock production. Feed
ers have been urged to handle none
but good types of cattle. Uniformity
in size, type and breed are suggested
for advantageous results. these char
acteristics to be determined by the
length of feeding time, local condi
tiOns and available markets. Balti
more stockyards and packing com
: panies assert this feature of the in
, dustry is particularly noticeable
among Maryland growers. In pre-
senting an agricultural program fo
, the next quarter century in Maryland
H. J. Patterson, director of the Mary
land Agricultural Experiment Station
at College Park, asserts Maryland
climate and soil are well suited to tn
production of those crops which ar
necessary for successful live stOc
husbandry.

MILFORD BUILDING BOOM
More Operations Started There This
Year Than Amy Time Since War

More Operations Started There This
Year Than Any Time Since War
When the Spring of 1923 opened the
outlook for building operations in Mil
ford and immediate vicinity, were
more numerous and of greater value
than ever before recorded. Among
these was the large addition to the
L. D. Caulk Company, which is in pro-
gress just beyond the boundary line
on Clark avenue, South Milford. This
structure will be two stories with a
basement, all of brick and stone ma
terials. The building will be approx
mately so feet by 200 feet. This is
probably the largest single operation
started
The large residence of George H.
Hall, at the eastern end of Clark ave-
nue. is nearing completion and will be
occupied in July. This home stands
in the most desirable of the new res
idential part of Milford and has about
four acres of land surrounding it.
The handsome remodeled home, for
merly owned by Mr.. Robinson, on
Lake View avenue, is now completed
by its new owner, DR.. Clyde Davis.
The new residence on Kings High
way, for Fred Lewis, is almost under
roof and it indicates that another at
tractive residence will be added to
that part of the town.
George S. Grier expected to have
his residence adjoining that of Mr..
Lewis, finished by the end of the pres
ent year; but, the scarcity of mechan-
les caused the finishing of this oper-
alton to be delayed.
The plans and specifications for a
home for DR.. Nelson also on Kings
Highway, were sent to the contractors
but the bids were all surprisingly
:, beyond all estimates, because of the
/, uncertainty of labor and materials
/ This operation has been postponed un-
til next season, or until conditions are
. settled
At the eastern side of South Mil
= ford five bungalows have been COM
pleted on the Cedar Beach road; while
), three have been built on the Slaugh.
>, ter Neck road, at the eastern towr
e limits.
At the Shawnee extension sever
e bungalows have been completed with
Y in the past year and plans are ready
1 for building five more, if the price:
will permit. These will all be attrac
!. tive bungalows for the use of those
: who are having them built.

!, by Dorsey Bowen on North Walnu
> street is completed and occupied.

h construction building in progress o
