Students Mid-Year Holiday.
With the annual Christmas tea at
5.30 o’clock and the informal ceremon
ies in the evening, the work of Hood
College for the first half of the year
ended yesterday evening. Students will
leave for their Christmas vacation on
Friday morning. They will return on
January 5. College work will be re
sumed on the following morning.
Much interest is centering around
the annual Christmas tree events,
which will be held in the college hall
on Thursday evening, when the entire
faculty and student body will gather.
The affair will be informal.
To Hare Fun.
Inexpensive gifts are causing no
jfTttle worry to the committee in charge
of that end of the celebration. These
little mementoes portray the charac
teristics of the various students and
members of the faculty and afford
the fun for the evening.
Students and members of the faculty
will sing solos. Christmas carols and
college songs will be sung by the
student body. Short addresses will be
delivered by members of the faculty.
There will be an exhibit of the work
of the Art Department this afternoon
from 2 until 5 o’clock. The exhibit
ion will be held in the studio of the
department, on the third floor cf the
Frederick Academy. This is one of
the interesting affairs of the insti
tution. Excellent work has been ac
complished in this department.

case and gives permission. ,
THE CITIZEN t RODERICK, MD.. FRIDa T. DECEMBER 18, 1914.
SELECT YOUR HERD
EULL WITH CARE
Ths Sire Of the Herd Should Be
Judged By the Production Of
Hie Offspring.
O. E. WOLCOTT,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The care that should be exercised in
selecting the herd bull is shown by the
records of the Jersey herd at the Uni
versity of Missouri.
The first bull used in this herd was
Missouri Rioter, a son of Bachelor of
St. Lambert —the only animal of his
pedigree known to be a strong breeder.
The average production of his daugh
ters was 1009 lbs. of milk and 18 lbs.
of fat below that of their dams.
A WELL-BRED SIRS.
The next bull used was Hugorotus,
an animal with no high producing in
dividuals in his ancestry. His daugh
ters produced 393 lbs. less milk than
their dams; but the percentage offal
was much higher, making an increasa
In fat amounting to 14 lbs.
The third bull —Lorn of Meridale —
had a fine pedigree; and his daughters
Increased the average production 1410
lbs of milk and 66 lbs. of fat. The
average production of his daughters
was 5969 lbs. of milk and 287 lbs. of
fat
The next bull was Missouri Rioter,
3rd, a son of Missouri Rioter. His
mother was the best cow in the herd.
His daughters produced 3230 lbs. of
milk and 146 lbs. fat more than their
dams.
Minette’s Pedro was used after Mis
souri Rioter, 3rd. He was an animal
of fine breeding with many high-class
animals in his pedigree. Ten of his
daughters were superior to their dams
and ten were inferior. There was an
increase of 55 lbs. of milk and 4 lbs.
of fat This bull was holding the aver
age of the Aerd.
Brown Bessie’s Registrar was the
last bull used with daughters old
enough to test. The data regarding this
bull are too limited to draw conclu
sions, but it is evident his daughters
are inferior. The daughters produced
1734 lbs. milk and 76 lbs. fat less than
their dams.
The records show the great care that
should be used in selecting a bull; and
the desirability of keeping the bull in
the herd until the production of bis
daughters is known. Missouri Rioter
was sold before his daughters began
to produce, and a valuable bull was lost
to the breed.
DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SEED
POTATOES SHOULD NOT BE
MIXED BEFORE PLANTING.
Potato growers often find their stock
mixed and are at a loss to account for
it. Some who have not become well
Informed seem to think that the wind
or bees may effect the blossoms and
that is the way the mixture happened.
It Is only when potatoes are grown
from the actual seed which is found
in the ball-shaped pods where the blos
soms have been, that the bees or wind
can cause any mixing. There are sev
eral ways in which mixing may oc
cur. One Is by the accidental dumping
of a sack of one variety into a pile
of another. Another way which I be
lieve often happens, where one is
growing the McCormick variety is,
that there are some tubers left over in
the soil from a previous digging which
perpetuate themselves and thus get
into a later crop. Another chance for
mixing which is probably the least
common, although by no means rare,
is bud variation. Bud variation is con
stantly happening in plants and the
most common form In potatoes is the
color of the skin. The White Mc-
Cormick is a bud variation of the older
pink-eyed variety. Now, there has ap
peared in the White variety a "sprout”
or bud variation with splashes of
pink on the skin.
If potatoes do get mixed it is often
less trouble to separate them after they
commence to sprout. Sprouts that have
started in the dark in some varieties
are pure white, others are yellowish
white, others have some purple In
them. A very common mixture is
Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain. The
sprouts of Green Mountain, when
grown In the dark, are a clear green
ish yellow, while those of Irish Cob
bler are white, with purplish streaks
and patches at the base.
It has been found that the quality of
high egg production is what is known
as a sex limited character, and that
the male bird is capable of reproducing
the high laying quality very much
more than the female.
Heretofore, little attention has been
paid to the male, outside of selecting
one from a high producing dam. Now
the approved method of breeding for
egg production is to get a male from
some known high’ producing strain,
and mate him to the flock.
In order to breed for high produc
tiveness, it is necessary to test out the
ability of the male to get high laying
pullets. This can bt done by keeping
the pullets from several matings in
separate pens and getting a record of
<thlr eggs.
Kept Good Fortune Seenet.
“The other evening I was helping
toy wife to hang pictures,” said a man.
j “While I was high up on the ladder
waiting to get the hangers, I me
chanically put my hand in the pocket
| cf a pair of trousers. Incidentally, I
had not had them on for years. I al
most fell off when I felt a bill. At
that moment, however, my wife re
turned. Naturally, I couldn’t at once
determine the extent of my good for
tune. But I hung the particular pic
ture on which I was then working In
record time. Then I went to the
kitchen. It turned out to be a five
spot. Some luck, boy?” "What did
your wife say when you told her?” I
asked. ‘ Did you divide up?” "What?
Who told her? Me? Not on your
life. I just rushed back and contin
ued to hang pictures with renewed
vigor:”
Learning Through Suffering.
The world is filled with men who are
trying to reform some one else, with
those who have Eome panacea or an
tidote for all ills and who think that
by legislation or other outward press
ure men and women may be made
ideal. There is nothing to such no
tions. Life is a struggle, and gen
erally a hard one. Good character is
built upon overcoming oneself, and
unless reforms begin from the inside
they do not last long., Boys are pun
ished not to give them pain, but to
give certain definite reactions between
the physical and moral parts of their
composition. The rod has been abused,
but it is now more neglected than
overworked. It is through sad experi
ence that we achieve moral worth.—
Exchange.
The Banana.
The thoroughly ripe banana for less
ripe fruit, after cooking) is a very use
ful and wholesome addition to the
dietary. In hot weather the baked
banana makes an excellent substitute
for meat —in fact at any season it
may be used as an “extra vegetable.”
To prepare the fruit for baking, wash
the bananas, cut half an inch from
each end of the banana, and then ar
range the bananas on a tin plate (pie
plate), and place in the oven to bake.
They will be ready for use when the
skin wrinkles and juice flows after
pricking the skin with a fork. They
are quite “done” when the pierced
fruit is soft. They may be eaten as
one does a baked potato—seasoned
with butter, pepper and salt.

Two at Price of One.
A clerk in a law office sat at a
typewriter, busily pounding out a let
ter which he had been instructed to
write. His fingers moved nimbly over
the keys of the machine and his lips
kept pace with his fingers—though
emitting no sound. It was suggestive
of the person who, when reading can
not avoid the lip movement when
scanning the printed page. “Say, I’ve
got a prize in that chap,” the head of
the firm remarked to a visiting friend.
“How so?” "Why, don’t you see he’s
dictating, and at the same time he’s
typewriting? He’s filling two jobs—
and he receives only one salary.
Great scheme.”
Not Enough for Him.
Everyone who has visited St. Paul
and Minneapolis knows there is a de
cided feeling of rivalry between these
two large, growing cities. A speaker
addressing an audience at St. Paul,
spoke of the reckless driving of mo
tor cars that at that time was preva
lent in Minneapolis and expressed the
hope that St. Paul would not follow
the example of her rival city. “Why,"
said the speaker, "I have heard that
some four or five inhabitants are killed
in Minneapolis by automobiles every
week.” And to his amazement from
the audience came a voice: "Wa’al, it
ain’t enough.”
Diplomatic Rebuke.
A well-known western senator re
cently visited a barber shop where the
barber, failing to recognize his patron,
was very talkativq. He ventured on
all the timely topics of the day, and
although the senator did not, apparent
ly, enter into the spirit of the conver
sation very keenly, the tonsorial art
ist's enthusiasm was not visibly damp
ened. Finally he asked: “Have you
ever been in here before?” “Once,”
said the senator. “Strange that I
don’t recall your face.” “Not at all,”
the senator assured him. “It altered
greatly in healing.”—Harper's Maga
zine.
I
Boarding House Statistics.
It was dinner-time at Mrs. Meane
leigh’s high-class boarding establish
ment. "Well,” said the statistical
boarder, leaning back in his chair,
“we have at this meal the representa
tives of two widely-separated genera
tions.” “How is that?” asked the in
quisitive boarder, rising to the occa
sion. “Why, the hen we have been
trying to eat was, in all probability,
the great-great-grandmother of this
omelette!” Then there fell a palpable
silence.
Not Disconcerted.
An old negro minister was recently
Interrupted in the course of his ser
mon by a loud laugh from one of the
congregation. He stopped his dis
course, and said: “De ’postle has told
us dat ‘er hearty laugh does good like
medicine, but de brudder is ’spectful
ly minded dat dis ain’t er doctor’s of
fice nor er ’pothecary’s shop,” and
then he resumed his sermon.
To Test Suspected Coin.
There is a very simple means of
testing a suspected coin, which can be
applied in any circumstances. Take a
good coin and vigorously rub its
milled edge against that of the sus
pect. If the coin on trial is a "wrong
’un” it will peel off, or at least show
signs of flaking. If the edge bears
the test the coin may safely be accept
ed. This advice was given by an offi
cer of the criminal investigation de
partment of England, who declared it
to be a certain test.
Watch Your Step.
A prominent country Driest, well
known for nis humor, in speaking of n
sad accident that befell one of qur
good cclesiastical dignitaries the
other evening, humorously remarked:
“The man who goes along this mun
dane sphere keeping both eyes on
heaven all the lime is liable to trip
and land in heaven pretty quick. But
the man who always keeps one eye
on heaven and the other good one on
earth is liable to gain the best in
heaven and earth.”
Natural Mi take.
Little Eunice was very fond of her
mother’s friend, Mrs. Clayton, who
had stopped in for a few moments on
her way to an afternoon party. She
was wearing a beautiful new gown.
Little Eunice gazed at her foi several
seconds, speechless with admiration,
and then burst out delightedly, “Oh,
Mrs. Clayton, you look just like ~
fashion dish!”—Youth’s Companion.
Our Cente. of Area.
The center of area of the continental
United States (excluding Alaska, Ha
waii and other recent accessions) is
in northern Kansas, about ten miles
north of a place called Smith Center,
county seat of Smith county, in lati
tude 39:55, longitude 98:50. The cen
ter of population is 51 miles south and
about 657 miles east of the center of
area.
Right Road to Knowledge.
He that studies only men will get
the body of knowledge without the
soul and he that studies only books,
the soul without the body. He that to
what he sees adds observation and to
what he reads reflection is In the right
road to knowledge, provided that in
scrutinizing the hearts of others he
neglects not his own, —Colton.
Complimentary.
The bishop of London, speaking re
cently, said that churches aid not drop
down from heaven any more than
bishops, though a little girl in his con
gregation, evidently under that delu
sion, had recently said to her mother
during a tiring sermon: “I am tired
now, mother; can’t the bishop go back
to heaven?’’
Inspiration.
Half the difficulty of fighting any
severe battle or accomplishing any
hard task vanishes when a man feels
that he has comrades at his side fight
ing in the same cause, or that the
eyes of those he loves are upon him,
and their hearts praying for his vic
j tory.—C. J. Perry.
Was a Privileged Bee.
Hazel, aged four, was spending the
day with her aunt. While there a bee
stung her. When she returned home
that evening her father asked her if
she killed the bee and she replied:
| “Why, no, papa; it was Aunt Jane’s
bee.”
Lake Nicaragua.
Lake Nicaragua is not the largest
body of fresh water on earth. That
distinction belongs to Lake Superior,
which, with its 32,000 square miles of
surface, is more than ten times the
size of Lake Nicaragua.
Real Democracy.
Ours is truly a great democracy. A1
most anybody knows almost anybody
well enough to give almost anybody a
letter of introduction to almost any
body.

V/hat He Was Counting.
"Who is that man over there —the
one counting his fingers?” “That's
Dobbs, the poet. But he isn’t count
ing his fingers; he's counting his
feet.”—Boston Record.
Up to Doctor to Work.
The Eskimo pays his doctor his

MILITIA OFFICERS MEET
Questions of vital importance in
warfare were discussed last night at a
meeting of the officers of Company A.
It was the first of a series of meetings
which will be held by the company
once a month. Orders have been sent
out to all companies of the Maryland
National Guard to hold simila- meet
j ings. Major D. John Markey presided.
| Those present were: Captain Elmer
F. Munshower, Sergeants Harry
Simmons, Paul Marsh, Fred Barrick;
Corporals Harry Wisner, George Cas
tle and Matthew P. Staley.
The idea of these meetings is to in
crease the efficiency of the company
officers and to have them makj thor
ough study of military work. The
success of a company or army de
pends entirely upon the thoroughness
of the training of its officers and men.
Special emphasis was placed cn this
point.
Company courtesy was discussed.
Correct saluting on the field and in
drill sheds was explained. Signal
work was also discussed.
Eight-Ilay Jewish Festival.
The Hebrew holiday, Chanukah, the
feast of the dedication, began Satur- j
day night at sunset. The festival is |
pre-eininently a domestic one. The (
feast will continue for eight days in
commemoration of the rededication of j
the temple of Jerusalem in the year
165 B. C. after the Jews gained their
independence from the Syrians and
cast out the shrine Antiochus Epiph
4nes had set upon the altar.
Cheer and good will to their fellow
man mark the spirit of the feast. Chil
dren and the home are expecteu to be
gladdened by entertainment o£ songs
and pastimes. Each day a candle is
burned in Jewish homes, until the
eighth day, when eight candles will
be burned. This observance sybolizes
the rededication of the temple, when
one cruse of oil, expected insufficient
to burn one day, burned eight days.
Constable Miller’s Brother Wounded
in European War.
Missing for three years, Michael
Miller, brother of Constable William
E. Miller, of this city, has turned up
in an English hospital, suflering from
a wound inflicted by a German bullet.
Michael ran away from the home of
his parents, 1222 Patapsco street, Bal
timore, when he was 19 years old, and
from then until last Monday no word ]
was received from him.
Then the parents received a letter
from a Red Cross nurse in a military
hospital at Leeds, England, telling that
he was wounded, but that it was be
lieved he would recover.
He received the wound while fight
ing under the English colors. Con
stable Miller has hopes that his broth
er will return home after being re
leased from the hospital. He is be
lieved to ha|l tt. - arked his wav across
the ocean of the numerous
cattle boats sailing from Baltimore.
