Ralph Scott, owner of Horizon
Hill on the outskirts of Rockville,
has another laurel that he can
add to those already held by his
estate this week.
Horizon Hill was Mystery
Farm No. II that was featured in
last weeks edition of the Sentin-
ell. And because of it's well-kept
appearance, Sentinel readers
found it one of the easiest in the
series to identify.
First to make the Identification
was Vernon J. Order who rec
ognized the property because of
his service with the Fire Depart
ment as well as his plumbing
work.

Jumping Gun
May Exhaust
Late Grazing

Because of the shortage of hay
and silage there is big tempta-
ton for Montgomery County
dairymen to turn cows out on
pasture before they normally
would. But there are several
good reasons for not pasturing
too early, according to John P
Dietrich, University of Maryland
Extension dairyman.
First of ALL" the dairy special
list points out, when pasture is
wet and soft cattle can do a To-
of damage by punching holes il
the sod. Furthermore, early
grazing weakens the stand, re
sulting in poor pasture all sum
mer. If the pasture plants are
eaten off too early they do moi
have a chance to build up roo
reserves for the later pasture sea
SON."
Blue grass should reach 4 to c
inches in height and the taller
growing pasture plants, such as
orchard grass and ladino clover
should reach minimum of 6 to
10 inches before cows are turned
in to Craze.
Dietrich suggests that cows be
adjusted to the pasture gradu.
ally, starting out the first few
days with an hour or two of graz
ing. After a week the cows can
be left on pasture a half day or
more.
early pasture is high In water
and low in net energy, compared
with feeds the herd has been
getting all winter" Dietrich says.
Even though hay and silage is
expensive this spring it will still
pay to get as much dry material
into the cows as possible before
they go out to Craze, so don't
stop feeding hay and silage."
Feeding a generous amount of
dry roughage reduces the laXa-
tive effect of young pasture
plants and helps maintain milk
production. 1t also helps pre-.
vent bloat, which is usually a
problem when cows are turned
out on lush legume pastures.

Dern'd Litterbugs
Active AT Lake

Litter Bugs Beware! is warn
ing issued this weak by Mrs. Ches-
ter Geer, North Main Street, who
is president of the London Girl
Scouts, Inc, to any who have been
dumping trees, branches or other
trash on the area owned by the
Girl Scouts at Madison Lake.
1t is the hope of the organization
to erect some type of cabin on the
Lake property, in the not too dis
tant future, but if thoughtless peo-
pie persist in the careless dumping
of their refuse, it will make the
property unfit for the purpose in
tended, Mrs. Geer stated.
Further than this, officers of the
Girl Scouts announce that there
have been complaints from resi-
dents at the lake that much of the
trash is inflammable, thus making
the property fire hazard.
The Madison County Sheriff and
his Deputies have offered their
help in trying to keep this prac-
tice from re-occurring, Mrs. Geer
stated.

Milk Program For
Schools Retained

Madison County Schools are 60
ing to get in on the Special School
Milk Program next fall. They have
also participated previously.
The Program was begun last fall
by the u. S. Department of Agri-
culture and will be continued at
least another school year 1t is de-
signed to move surplus milk into
the mouths of American school
children at modest cost to par
ents. Schools get up to DC addition
al per half pint sold. In most cases,
the cost to school children is &c or
&c per half-pint.
According to Mrs. Robertson,
whose county Farm Bureau Wom-
ems Committees are promoting the
Program as a project. only 1881 OF
Ohio's 1898 schools took part last
year. The program is open to par
ochial, as well as public schools.
Nationally, $1,000 schools partici-
pated and an estimated 400 mil
lion more half-pints of milk were
served to school children.
Mrs. Robertson claims that rec
ords at the Division of Public
School Lunch (Which administrates
the program ip Ohio show that it
is largely the city and small town
schools which are not participat-
ing. She thinks the reason may be
that mothers don't even know
about it.
Applications for participation
are mailed to county school sup
erintendents who inform individual
schools. But parent-teacher groups,
or individuals, can get such infor-
nation, Mrs. Robertson says, by
writing: Division of Public School
Lunch, 220 Parsons Ave-, Colum-
bus.
The farm women's leader said
las a farm organization, we are
interested in increasing consump-
tion of milk. But as mothers, we
can see no better place for surplus
milk to go than to our children
After all, our children are our
greatest natural resources"

County To Receive Larger
Share OF Sales Tax Money!
Officials Asked
To Act Promptly

With the signing of the bill CIV
ing local governments S44, 100000
of sales tax money during the next
two years, State Auditor James A.
Rhodes announced today the mon
thly share that each county in the
state will receive during the last
six months of 1855.
With the exception of 16 small
counties which will get the month
ly minimum of $500, every coun-
ty in the state will receive more
sales tax money during the second
half of the year than it received
during the first half. Madison Co.
will receive $2,837.86 the second
half, and received $2,637.87 the
first half.
During the preceding bienniun,
the legislature provided $4,000
600 for local government. For the
biennium which started July /,
$44,03o,0o0 was granted. The law
provides for $11 million to be dis
tributed during the second half of
this year, and 1885, 900 monthly
thereafter.
Following the legislative session
two years ago, there was lag of
three months before a distribution
of sales tax money to local gov
ernments could be made. This was
due primarily to delay on the part
of county officials in determining
how their share was to be divided
at the local level.
The law provides that, before
the state auditor may distribute
the sales tax money to counties,
the county budget commission
must meet and decide on the allo-
cation of funds within the county.
A certificate of such ALLEGATION
must be filed with the state audi
tor.
In an effort to speed up distri-
button, Rhodes office had figured
out each county's share even be-
fore the bill was signed, and was
all set to mail certificate forms to
county auditors.
"If county officials will act
promptly in allocating these funds
within the county, and return to
us promptly the certificate requir-
ed by law, it will not be necessary
to delay distribution of sales tax
money until September as was the
case two years ago." Rhodes said.
I'VE know how much this revenue
means to many cities and villages
and we have done everything pos
sible to reduce the usual delay fol-
lowing a session of the legislature.
