dacies for office we note that on
Tuesday His Majesty the Governor
appearing before the Rotary Club of
Baltimore took full advantage of the
opportunity to boost his own admin
istration while carefully emitting to
tell anything of his blunders. 1t was
in every way a political speech, say
some of the hearers, and of course
that pleased his partisians in the club
On the other hand we are told that
Senator Mcintosh III addressing the
Rotary Club of Cambridge few days
back avoided political subjects entire
ly and did not boost his own candi-
dacy. It's all a matter of a sense of
propriety it seems.
First Mud Singing
By Richie Crowd
The first real mud Singing of the
Democratic campaign started this
week when circulars were distributed
by some of the fourth term zealots as
sailing former Mayor Jackson, Will
liam Curran and former City SoIici-
tor Philip B. Perlman in severe Ian
guage. There was no signature to
the circular but those who are famil-
lar with the situation quickly charged
that it emanated from a certain men,
Der of the Richie group who has for
weeks been noisy in his support of
the fourth term candidate.
This is a sample of what is to be
expected in the primary campaign if
the Governor remains in. Thosewho are
not willing to vote to keep him in Of
flee for life are to be villified regard
less of the facts or of any other con-
sideration. The fourth term people
have been saying some severe things
of their opponents fer nonths past
but this is the first time they have
come out in print with it. AS there
are plenty of idle printing presses in
Baltimore with a great supply of
blank paper and ink available.

THE BOYS AND GIRLS
QUESTION BOX
They're So Simple That Anybody Can
Ask Them
But Can You Answer Them?

1. Why does a ball bounce?
2. Do stars really twinkle?
8. Why is fire hot?
4. Why does a stick seem to benz
when it is put in water?
5. Can water be made hotter thar
the boiling point?
/. In short, because it is elastic
which, simply explained, means thai
when the ball is pressed out of shape
it has a tendency to return to its
original shape. 1t is this return tt
it's original shape that makes the bal
bounce. Do you know that steel is
more elastic than India rubber? ASK
dad-he knows-perhaps.
2. No. The stars send out steady
equal rays of light in all directions
and when they encounter the air some
of the rays get delayed on account Of
some interference, which causes g
break, or interruption of the light
waves. This causes the twinkling.
8. The heat of the fire is caused by
the carbon in the coal and the oxygen
in the air combining. These two ele.
ments, as they are called, have en-
ergy and power within themselves
which are released when the carbon
and oxygen are combined to make the
fire, and causes heat.
4. Rays of light, if they possibly
can, travel in straight lines. If we
see the whole stick in one element,
the air, it appears to be straight, or
if it is wholly seen in still water, it
appears to be straight. But if half of
it is submerged in water, then we see
the lower half of the stick first thru
the air. When light passes from
water to air, or air to water, it gets
bent, which makes it appear that the
stick is bent. This bending of the
rays of light is called refraction,
which really means breaking.
5. We can not make water hotter
than the boiling point, because when
we do it ceases to be what we call
water and turns into water-vapor.
Thus when the boiling point is
reached. the liquid water is as hot as
it can get.

NEWS OF
TEREST
TO
AGRICULTURISTS

Yearling hens are better than
pullets for breeders, as the former
usually lay large eggs which hatch
into larger and stronger chicks than
those of pullets.
Take the farm horse to the "den-
fist" for examination at least once
a year. Usually the long, sharp
corners of horses teeth need Occa-
sional filing by veterinarian.
Roughness causes sore tongues or
cheeks, and poor mastication which
is followed by digestive troubles.
Older horses especially need atten-
ton.
Ringworm of cattle is common
during winter and spring and should
be treated if found. Scrape off the
crusts of the patches on the skin
and wash with soap and water.
Then apply tincture of iodine once
a day. Carefully whitewash and
disinfect the barns, as this disease
is contagious and easily transmit
ted from one animal to another.
Good sanitation in the poultry
flock increases the number of fer
tile eggs produced during the breed
ing season. The fowls should be fed
literally on wholesome feed and
should be kept in houses that are
dry and well ventilated. It is espe-
cially important not to Overcrowd
the houses and to keep the litter
clean and dry in the breeding sea-
son.

is question many persons are ask
ing themselves nowadays. Dairy

Hogs treated simultaneously with
virus and serum for hog cholera
need special care for at least two
weeks after incubation. Restrict the
grain ration to not more than two
thirds of the usual quantity for this
period. 1t is not advisable to feed
corn. Shorts, middlings, bran
ground or soaked oats, crushed rye
barley, kafir, tankage, skim milk
and buttermilk are suitable feeds
At the end of two weeks, if the hogs
are doing we'll, their diet may in
clude some corn and this may be in
creased gradually to full feed. A
plentiful supply of clean drinking
water should be accessible at all
times. If necessary to keep the hogs
confined, the pens should be light
airy, dry, clean, and well bedded
Feed troughs should be kept clean
preferably by scrubbing and scald-
ing with hot water.

Blast the Stumps

Under some conditions, the best
method of removing stumps is to
blast them out with dynamite. Cen
orally these conditions include situ-
ations where the stumps are few IN
number or widely scattered, where
the work is to be done at odd inter-
walls of spare time, or where the
stumps are of considerable size so
as to require breaking up before
handling. In such cases, blasting is
usually the cheapest method and 1t

THE STAR sPANGLED BANNER

Strange as it may seem the Unit
ed States has no national anthem
and Congress is now wrestling with
the question of giving the Star
Spangled Banner official status. A
petition signed by 100000 people
has reached Washington. Perhaps
the reason no one gets very much
wrought up over the matter may be
found in the fact that legislative
decree will likely have no effect
upon the situation. The Star Spang-
led Banner is, in fact, the National
anthem. This is one thing that Am
orleans can agree upon without any
law upon the subject to persuade
them.

Manure DisDOsals

Manure should never be dumped
in the yard where dairy COWS are
likely to lie in it or to walk through
it. If not stored in a shed or remov-
ed to the fields, it should be piled at
a considerable distance from the
barn and on the side opposite from
the milk room. When weather and
field conditions permit, it is prob
ably best to spread the manure as

soon as a load has accumulated. If
a spreader is not available, an ordi-
nary wagon may be used. The yards
should be scraped regularly and the
scrapings spread with the other
manure. Hauling manure to the
fields regularly not only keeps the
premises in a sanitary condition,
but usually is a profitable practice
from the standpoint of crop produc-
ton.
Hatch Chicks Early
Early Matching pays. In addition
to greater egg profits in winter
when eggs are scarce, early Matched
cockerels are more profitable as
market poultry than those Matched
late. In the North, March Is is a
good date to hatch the first chicks
and May Is is a good date to finish
Matching. In the Southern States,
hatch about two weeks earlier. AL
low time after placing the males IN
the breeding pen before saving eggs
for Matching. A fertile egg may be
obtained two days after mating, but
about two weeks should be allowed.
The fertility of eggs remains at a
sufficiently high percentage for
about five days after the males are
removed from the breeding pen. One
male mated to a varying number OF
females up to Is should give fair
ly consistent percentage of fertile
eggs.
Grazing in Pine Forests
lust what effect fire and grazing
may have on the survival of young
longIeaf pine trees is being deter
mined in a study carried on by the
Southern Forest Experiment Sta
ton of the United States Forest Ser
vice on a 320-acre tract of cut-oveI
land near MCNEIL, Mississippi. II
was found that when woodland is
left under natural conditions, that
is. protected from fire and grazing
85 per cent of the little longleaf
nine seedlings will survive. The ID
per cent which die out do so be-
cause of factors that operate in ma
ture, such at root competition, COM
petition for light, fungous diseases
etc.
Grazing ordinarily does not do a
great deal of damage to the tiny
trees, rs per cent having pulled
through in the test experiments. But
if the prevailing grass in the wood
land is carpet grass, grazing dam
age is very great, frequently killing
off all but about 2 per cent OF the
young seedlings, since the carpet
grass is grazed very closely by cat
tie, resulting in injury to the little
trees.
Fire causes the greatest damage
to young longleaf pine and is there
fore most detrimental to reforesta-
ton. After two burnings on one oil
the plots studied, less than 1S pei
cent of the seedlings were still Nv
ing.
Except where there is carpet
grass, grazing at the rate OF one
steer to 10 acres was found to re-
duce the fi1e hazard by removing a
great deal of the inflammable dry
grass; and on areas of sedge and
WIRE grass even heavier grazing
may be helpful IN reducing damage
to pine seedlings, if fire can not be
entirely kept cut.

Making WhiteWaSh
The easiest way to make white
wash is simply to add water to ny
drafted lime that has been well pro
tected from the air. However, If ny
drafted lime is not available, fresh
quicklime may be slaked with clean
water by the following process. Use
a clean wooden pail, key, or barrel,
and add the water little at a time.
SHAKING may be FASTENED by break
ing up some of the Jumps or by
adding a little hot water. When
shaking is we'll started, add more
water to replace that lost. If not
enough water is used, the lime will
become "scorched" and part of 1t
will be granular. On the other hand,
too much water may retard or
"quench" the shaking process. After
the lime is completely slaked, add
enough water to make thick PASTE
cover the container with boards to
keep in the heat, and let it stand for
at least several hours. Strain the
paste through wire fly screen and
thin to brushing consistency with
clean water.
Cleaning I'd After Disease
Many farmers and stockmen don't
realize the importance of thorough
Iy disinfecting farm buildings after
an outbreak of infectious disease
says the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Infectious-disease germs accu-
mulate in the soil, in litter, on
floors and walls, and in cracks ana
crevices. The best disinfectants for
farm buildings are some of the coal
tar products, such as a saponlheo
cresol solution. This preparation
mixes readily with water and, useo
at the rate of at least ounces 10 d
gallon of water, is a very etfectlve
disinfectant. Another good disintec-
tant in cresol, known commercially
as liquid carbolic acid. Careless dls-
infection is little better than none at
all. Use a sufficient quantity OF DIS
infectant, and enough force in ap-
plying it, so all surfaces are cover,
ed and it is driven into cracks ana
crevices. The most effective meth
cd of application, particularly on
large surfaces, is with a strong
/ snray pump.
