HISTORIC HOUSE
CHANGES HIT
MKS. WILEY

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. %. The
proposed modernization of the
Hammond-Harwood house, regard
ed as the finest example of CO.
lonial architecture in the city"
has given impetus to the forma-
ton Of society to protect colon
ial landmarks in and near An
napolis.
Numerous protests followed the
proposal to modernize the old resi-
dence as living quarters for DR..
Douglas Huntly Gordon, president
Of st. Johns College.
Opponents OF this plan, while
admitting that the plan does not
call for remodeling of the build
ing, contend that through modern
ization it would lose its value as
a museum of colonial furniture.
The contemplated society would
be similar to one recently started
on the Eastern Shore at Salisbury
which seeks both the preservation
and restoration of colonial relics
and buildings.

Poultry Notes
From Bozeman

Now is a good time to Gull the
laying flock, says Miss H. e. Cush-
man, extension poultry specialist
at Montana State college. 1t will
pay to get rid of the older hens
and all of the poor layers. Hens
usually should be culled after two
years and at least half the flock
should be pullets.
A slight cold will cause the eyes
of turkeys to stick together. Cor
rect the cause Immediately and
wash out the eyes for immediate
relief with a saturated solution of
boric acid or a five percent argyrol
solution. The eyes should be wash
ed every time they stick together
or the turkeys will not get enough
to eat, due to impaired eyesight.
The only way to be absolutely
certain Of getting good clean alfalfa
seed of a certain variety is to buy
registered seed.
The yolk of an egg is a highly
desirable food. 1t has vitamins A,
B, c., D, and G. In addition it has
a large amount of PHOSPHORUS,
iron, and a little copper, needed
for blood building, and even nor
useful minerals.
