Chicken Thief Sentenced.

In sentencing John Neel. Colored, of
this vicinity, to two years in the
Maryland penitentiary for stealing a,
number of chickens from the De Muth
farm. near Rockville, Judge Robert Il.
Peter paid his respects to chicken
thieves generally and served notice
that persons found guilty of such
depreiations need expect no leniency
from him. Judge Peter gave Neel an
additional two years in the penitenti-
ary for stealing some meat from an
other farmer.
At the annual meeting of the Mont
Eomery County Farm Bureau Supply
Co, held at the Office of the company
here, Carter T. Clagett, Lawrence A.
Darby and Walter NJ. Magruder were
reelected directors for two years. The
holdover directors are Josiah w.
Jones and George r. Candy.
A review of the activities of the
company showed that during 1925 it
purchased for it's members $4,000
worth of supplies of various kinds,
Including lime, fertilizers, binder
twine. seed potatoes, grass seed, etc,
and saved those participating between
$4,000 and S19. 900. 1t was pointed
out that not only did those for whom
the company bought benefit, but that
the farmers of the county generally
were gamers to the extent OF many
thousands of dollars by reason Of the
fact that the dealers of the county re-
duced prices on virtually all kinds OF
supplies for the farm In order to com
pete with the supply company.
The Farm Bureau has member
ship Of nearly 600, and the supply
company is an important adjunct to

Notion That Farm Seeds
Run Out Is Dispelled

The old notion that seed runs out
IL grown many years in succession on
q single farm and that new seed must
be brought In by purchase or by trad
ing with the neighbors has been well
dispelled from the minds Of farmers.
This idea was one Of the worst OBJ
stacles to the cause Of good seed and
1t took years of education and demon
stration to convince crop growers that
1t was all wrong.
Now. instead of trading seed and
getting some Of the breeding Of which
is unknown and which may introduce
weeds onto his own farm, the grower
keeps his seed clean, grows pure-bred
varieties, cleans and grades his seed
thoroughly with the tanning mill to
get rid of the small weak kernels and
any foreign seed, and as result has
a high grade Of pure-bred seed
adapted to his particular conditions
by being grown and selected on his
own farm.
The effort to provide farmers with
good seed, carried on by the Wiscon-
sin Agricultural Experiment associa-
ton, has not only gone far toward
accomplishing this purpose, but has
made the state an outstanding source
Of supply for seed grain.

All of these devices are improvements
over the washboard method.

Hogs ready for the market should
be assembled a sufficient length Of
time prior to the date Of shipment to
allow them to become rested. Do not
crowd into small pens or houses nor
feed heavy rations. If they are to
DO driven to the loading point, do not
rush them on the way. Where they
hauled it is Important that not too
many be crowded into the truck or
wagon. Loadiig hogs after q heavy
feed is injurious to them. There is
nothing to be gained by forced feed
ing just before shipping. Crowding
too many hogs in car is likely to
result in number of them dying in
transit. Hogs are often loaded in
cars containing sharp pieces of brok-
EN- timber, nails sticking out of boards
and in which the flooring is covered
with mud and rubbish. AS a result
many of the animals reach the yards
badly crippled, the injuries commonly
involving the hind quarters, thus low
ering the quality of the most valuable
cuts-the hams. Steps should be TAX
en- to remedy such. conditions before
loading.

AGRICULTURE.

80. q
In managing a beef herd on b farm
the least feed, labor and attention are
required when the calves are dropped
soon after the cows 60 on pasture in
the spring. If the calves are born in
the fall, the cows will be in better
condition at the time, but viii require
more feed during the winter to keep
up their milk flow than If they were
dry. However, If the cows are kept
to be MIXED as well as to raise calves,
having them freshen in the fall in
terferes less with raising crops. HAIL
calves may be readily taugst to eat
grain before they are weaned and
may be fattened on grass and grain
by the time they are about twelve
months old. Summer fattening on
pasture has considerable. advantage
over winter drylot feeding on account
Of cheaper gains and the elimination
of labor required to spread manure.
Therefore, whether to produce spring
or fall calves is problem for each
farmer keeping beef cows to settle
for himself.
