Early Molt Not Right for Eggs

Poultry keepers who fed a wet
mash in addition to the regular grain
and dry mash kept their hens laying
heavily last year, says l.. M. Hurd, Of
the New York State College of Agri-
culture. Hens should be kept in pro-
duction through careful feeding dur
ing the summer and early fall so that
they will mott rapidly and soon re-
turn to producing.
Records of the Missouri College of
Agriculture show that early melting
hens lay fewer eggs during the fol-
lowing winter than those hens which
mott late.
In the summer and fall hens should
have an abundance of tender, leafy
green food, shade, and fresh clean
water at all times. Hens that do not
respond to good treatment should be
removed so as to give the others a
better chance. Skim milk or semi
solid buttermilk at the rate of one
OF TWO pOuilCIS " VIC IlIIllbL GU W u"
should be used. A good plan for this
is to mix it and enough water with
the regular dry mash. This mash
should be fed in the afternoon, just
before the night feeding Of grain. The
hens should have only what they can
eat in 20 minutes.
If milk is not available, fill pail
half-full of dry oats fill it up with
water and let it stand from one after
noon until the next. Then add suf-
ficient Of regular dry mash to take
up the remaining moisture and feed as
described above. After September l
poultrymen have had good results
from using lights to prolong the lay
ing season. Late in the fall this

HEALTH BOARD DIRECTS
ATTENTION TO VACCINE
All Children Must Be Naccinated
Before Entering School


Because two out of every three
prospective first graders who have
been examined at the child health
conferences held throughout the State
under the auspices of the State Blu
reau of Child Hygiene, in prepara-
ton for their admission to school in
the fall, had not been vaccinated
against smallpox, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
HEALTH calls attention to the State
law which requires a child to be vac
cinated before he or she can be en-
rolled in school.
THE schools will reopen in a few
weeks" Dr. Riley said, "and the
youngsters who go up for enrolment
can not be accepted by any teacher
unless they have been vaccinated
against smallpox. Our Maryland law
requires the vaccination Of young
children, preferably in infancy, but
positively before they are enrolled
in school. Before the children enter
school, the responsibility rests upon
the parents. If for any reason, the
parents have failed to have it done by
the time their child reaches school
age, the teachers have no choice in
the matter, but under the State law,
have to exclude the child from school
until it is done. Furthermore, the
law provides that a teacher who en-
rolls an unvaccinated child, shall be
fined ten dollars for each and every
offense'
Last year, out of a total of 1881
children, 1853 white and 378 colored,
ranging in age from five to seven
years, who were examined at the pre-
school conferences held during the
spring and summer months through
out the counties, 2,115 had not been
vaccinated. Of these children, 1892
were white and 227 colored. The
proportion Of unvaccinated children
has been as great among the children
who have been examined this year.
THE comparative freedom from
smallpox that we have had in Mary
land is due largely to the intelligent
cooperation of the people Of the State
in the observance Of the vaccination
law. For the disease has by no means
been stamped out. Terrific outbreaks
are occurring constantly in other
countries and in other parts Of the
United States. Wherever they have
occurred they have been especially
serious in sections that are without
stringent vaccination laws.
During a single week recently, the
smallpox were reported to the U. S.
Public Health Service by health de-
partments in different parts Of the
country The majority occurred in
the Middle Western and Western
States. The total for the one week
was more than four times as many as
the total we have had reported in
Maryland in the last five years. Here
is our record: 1924-97 cases; 1925-16;
1865; 1929; 1882, a total Of
149. From the first Of January, this
year, to the end of June, we had a
total Of cases reported in Maryland
in comparison with Is during the cor
responding period Of last year.
"A single case of smallpox is one
too many. The disease is unneces-
sary. Children cannot protect them
selves. Parents must have it done for

ADVANCE in EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM CONTINUES HERE
Oakland Grammar Now Has a
Teacher For Each Grade-Chil-
dren of Dodge Transported

Another step toward the realiza-
ton of the State and county's educa-
tional program was reached on Mon
day when the children of Dodge
school, located three and half miles
north of Oakland, were transported
to the Oakland Grammar School, &C
cording to County Superintendent of
Schools F. E. Rathbun.
The larger number of the pupils in
attendance at the Dodge school dur
ing the past three years have been
transported to that school from the
closed Thayerville school and en-
route
Beginning the transportation of the
Dodge school children to Oakland has
brought about a tWo-fold achieve
| ment, Mr. Rathbun said, in that Oak
land Grammar now has seven teach
ers where formerly there were six,
and in continuing the program of Civ
ing rural children the benefits of ele-
mentary schools where there is a
teacher for each grade.
The transportation of the Dodge
school children makes the eighteenth
school to be transported and closed
within the past two years, and since
the closing of the one-teacher schools
not one of the number has ever been
reopened.
Miss Edith Sommer, teacher of the
Dodge school, is now teacher of the
| fifth grade in the Oakland Grammar,
permitting Mrs. Liller and Mrs. Sol
lars, assistant teachers in the local
school, to devote their entire time
each to one separate grade. The fifth
grade, prior to last Monday, was di-
vided between the two instructors.
The advance step was taken in the
| Oakland elementary school on Mon
day, and is now the only school in the
county where the rural children may
have teacher for each grade, which
provides decided educational oppor-
tunities of the most modern type fol
rural neighborhoods.
The State Department of Education
has been striving for the realization
of this program for a number of years
and it is felt by educational authori-
ties in Garertt county that eventually
it will succeed.
In this same connection attention
has been called to Section 223, Chap
ter 173, of the Acts of the General
Assembly of Maryland, page 122 OF
the 1927 edition of the Public school
laws, the same reading as follows:
Any person who induces or at
tempts to induce any child to absent
himself unlawfully from school, OF
employs or harbors while school is in
session any child absent unlawfully
from school, shall be deemed guilty OF
misdemeanor, and be fined not more
than fifty dollars.
