Installation Of loud speaker apparatus
in buses for the announcement Of
street stops is an innovation recently
developed by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories. This bus announcing
equipment, according to ]. H. Collins,
special products development engi-
neer Of the laboratories, enables the
combination driver and conductor Of
the modern bus to announce the next
stop clearly to all passengers. The
equipment is so arranged that the
driver speaks into a microphone and
the announcement is amplified so that
all passengers know what the next
stop will be.
Such need, according to Mr.. Col
Inns, was most keenly felt on double
deck buses, where it was virtually
impossible for passengers on the top
deck to hear the street names as they
were called of by the driver. Bus
announcing equipment is now in use
in several of the large cities.
This equipment is not limited en-
tirely to bus use, according to Mr..
Collins article. The apparatus can
be utilized for making announcements
from one room or one floor to another.
This equipment can also be used for
addressing small groups.

good one. The VIM. Schluder-
berg-T. J. Hurdle Co., of Balti-
more, again offers substantial

particularly appropriate and as
valuable as cash. The prizes
offered are as follows:

Feeding tankage equal in
weight to the weight of the
heaviest litter.
End. prize, Feeding tankage
equal in weight to y the

In order to claim prizes at
least two filters must be enter

fore that time. All filters may
compete for State prizes, even
If only one is entered.

THE BLACK WALNUT-A
VALUABLE TREE
By w. r. Ballard
Extension HorticulturiSt

The black walnut represents
a native tree especially well
adapted to Maryland condi-
lions and it possesses valuable
characteristics which some day
will be more generally appre-
ciated. It is a highly Orna-
mental tree, the timber is much
sougth after for use in making
furniture and other manufac-
tured articles, and the nuts
command a relatively high
price for use in CONNECTIONS.
The common opinion that the
walnut is slow in coming into
bearing is not well founded for,
while it is type that requires
heavy feeding, when given an
annual mulch of stable ma
nure, it will generally come
into bearing as soon as the
apple tree.
Nuts produced by seeding
trees vary greatly in size,
shape and cracking qualities.
There are, however, a limited
number of named varieties
which are to be recommended
highly. They include Stabler,
Thomas, and Ohio, the leading
varieties being propagated to-
day.
Difficulty in the propagation
of walnut trees has resulted in
a relatively high cost for graft
ed trees, although the nuts pro-
duced by these varieties are SO
superior to the general run of
seedlings that even at present
prices grated trees are to be
preferred. Anyone having
small Seeding walnut trees, or
even trees of moderate size,
will undoubtedly find it to their
advantage to graft or top
work them to these improved
varieties. Recent investiga-
tons in grating have disclos-
ed that best results are obtain
ed if the top of the grated
Seeding is not removed until
after the scion has thoroughly
united.
Further information on this
subject may be obtained from

ed "Tree Propagation, and
which is published by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture at

TT is a curious fact that certain
names always attach them
- selves to favorite foods. What
hero or heroine Of fiction, for in
stance, ever ate any but Blue
Point oysters? To be sure there
are Buzzard Bays, Cape Gods,
Cotuits, Lynnhavens, Peconics,
Rockaways and Saddle Rocks, but
the name by which oysters are
best known is Blue Points. These
other names affixed to oysters
come in part from the points
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
where oysters are harvested, but
they have lost much Of their
significance through trade misuse.
The three chief sizes of oysters
recognized in the trade are half
Shells" the smallest usually pre-
ferred for eating raw: "culls," of
medium size, for consumption raw,
for stewing and cooking in other
ways; and "box," the largest, used
generally for frying. But there
are both small and large oysters
of all varieties, the difference in
size being principally that Of age,
and the Encyclopedia of Foods
published by ARENAS Ward rises
to remark:
s'The true oyster lover rebels
at the thought of always consign-
ing the largest to the frying pan
he takes delight in having them
served instead ON the half SHELF,
for age makes no difference, in
the tenderness of the oyster. Deep
rooted custom is responsible for
its being consumed while still
young and comparatively small,
but if permitted to grow older,
and very much larger, its flesh
is just as choice"
A Valuable Food
The eating of oysters is as cor
rect from a dietetic standpoint
as from that of the epicure. Sci
ence has found that they are an
extremely valuable food. Their
mineral content is high and abun-
dant in many of those elements
essential for human physiology.
Calcium and phosphorus are pres
emit; iron, copper and manganese
are there in large amounts: and
they are one of the best sources
of iodine as they contain about
two hundred times as much of
this valuable substance as milk,
eggs or beefsteak. In fact oysters
are said to be to iodine what cod
liver oil is to vitamin D.
Oyster protein contains all the

KOREAN LESPEDEZA
Varied Results Obtained In
1882


During the 1882 season at
least a hundred Maryland
farmers planted Korean les
pedeza. Some were pleased
with the results obtained, but
many were disappointed. Some
plan to SOW still more this
spring, many will not. They
should remember. however,
that lespedeza is at it's best
during the late summer. Last
year, at that time, due to the
long period of dry weather, the
expected growth did not take
place, except in favorable
areas. With normal rainfall,
the results would probably
have been more generally fav-
orable. However, the plants
that were inspected were well
set with seed. If this was gen.
orally the case much reseeding
can be expected.
From the information so far
available Korean Lespedeza
can be recommended only for
small trials in Maryland, par
ticularly in the northern and
western parts.
Suggestions for 1888 = For
those who wish to try it out
this spring, it is suggested that
about the safest way would be
to add a. few pounds of seed
per acre to the hay and pasture
mixtures to be sown in the
standing grain.
Like Japan clover, Korean
Lespedeza is particularly a
pasture crop and best adapted
to uncultivated areas and waste
places, where it has a chance
to reseed itself year after year.
While a full seeding is about
twenty pounds to the acre, it is
suggested that on such areas a
seeding Of four Or five pounds

ROADSIDE MARKETS

the association is to promote

tect the public against semi
fraud and at the same time
benefit their own business.

valuable amino-acids and can
therefore be safely used as a sub
stitute for meat protein. For a
protein food they contain a large
amount of carbohydrate. Vita
minis A, B, G and D have all been
found in oysters in large amounts.
Oysters have also been found to
be beneficial in the treatment of
certain types of anemia.
Available Anywhere
Fortunately oysters are avail
able anywhere because there are
now about fifty plants situated
along the Atlantic coast from
Maryland southwark where
oysters are canned. The oysters
used for canning are widely
known as "cove oysters" because
those first canned were the small
oysters of the coves of Chesapeake
Bay, the worlds greatest source
of these succulent bi-valves.
It's taste is the thing that makes
the oyster popular, and the vast
consumption of this delicacy year
after year is evidence that oysters,
raw or cooked, on the half shell
or out of cans, have always tasted
one way to the American public,
and that's like more" You don't
have to teach a man how to eat
raw oysters. He knows. Here
are some recipes for cooking them
which will be welcome to house
wives who want to make a hit.

oysters which have been scalded

This is a hearty luncheon soup,

Congress was held in the class
room on Friday. The problem
facing this Congress was,

and gave their views on the
problem. This period was en-
