Break It Lighting Plant.
Because of a slight break in the
big generator at the city electric light
Piant about 25 arc lamps were not
lighted on Monday night. One of th
small machines, not used for years,
was put into use and could not gener
ate sufficient current to light the en
tire circuit. The break was repaired
on Tuesday.
Visit Middletown.
Several of the county commission
ers yesterday went to Middletown and :
inspected a proposed site for a steel
bridge over Middle creek, about two
miles west of Middletown. No action
was taken. 1

SPRAYING FRUITS NECESSARY TO
SUCCESSFUL ORCHARDING.
I :
T. B. 8 SIMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College
Exteusion Service.
The man who wins in the orchard
business is the man who prepares for
the harvest in the early spring. Trees
should be pruned properly, and all
dead wood and brush removed from
the orchard. Both apple and peach
orchards should be sprayed with the
f ~ ' ’ s.
v i
SIMPLE SPRAYING OUTFIT.
concentrated lime sulphur at a dilu* ,
tion of one part of the solution to
nine parts of water. Growers can buy j
this material or make it themselves j
using 100 lbs. sulphur and 50 lbs. stone
lime, 55 gals, water and boil for one
hour. The home-made solution had
better be diluted a: the rate of one to
seven or eight parts of water.
The above treatment will control the
San Jose Scale, and aid in preventing
leaf curl, a disease especially bad on
the Elberta variety of peaches. All
spraying apparatus should be gone
over and put in good shape for work.
It is expensive to stop work in the
field to fix up parts or mend hose. etc.
Be sure that the spraying is done
thoroughly, that is. all parts of the
trees should be hit especially the ter
minal twigs for it is on the tender
wood that the scale settles. Trees 1
can be sprayed with this dormant solu- ,
tion until the buds begin to swell.
SHORT COURSE IN ROAD MAKING
WILL BE HELD IN MARCH
AT THE AGRICUL
TURAL COLLEGE.
In view of the generally unsatisfac- -
lory condition of many of our country
roads at this time of year, the an
nouncement of a short course in Road
Making to be held at the Agricultural
College in March is especially timely.
It is especially planned to meet the
needs of county engineers, road super
visors, foremen, inspectors and all
others interested in keeping Up our ,
roads and in road improvement. This
course will be given, beginning March
5. and will last through the week. The
lectures and instructions in this course
will be given by representatives of the
U. S. Office of Bureau of Roads, the
Maryland State Roads Commission,
and of the Engineering Division of the
Maryland Agricultural College. Like
all other short courses offered by the
College there will be no charge for
the instruction, those attending having
only to provide for their board and
lodging. These may be obtained close
to the College and at reasonable
rates. For a more detailed statement
and information as to just what is
planned for in this course, those inter
ested should write to the Dean of
Engineering. Maryland Agricultural
College. College Park. Md.
INCUBATOR OR HEN, WHICH
SHALL IT BE?
A Question Every Poultry Keeper
Must Settle For Himself.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
We often hear people say, “I
wouldn’t use an Incubator.” “Incuba
tors are no good,” etc., but I wonder if
these people ever stop to consider that
there are two sides to the question.
The old hen certainly has her ad
vantages. Some of them are as fol
lows :
1. More certainty of results In
bands of the inexperienced.
2. Stronger chicks as a rule.
3. Require less attention.
4. No danger from fires.
5. Less cost when few are raised.
6. Less work when few are raised.
The incubator also has some ad
vantaees. for instance:
1. More certainty of results in hands
of the experienced.
2. Chicks can be hatched at any
season of the year.
3. Necessary where a non-sitting
variety is kept.
4. Necessary where large numbers
are raised.
5. Little danger from breakage.
6. No danger from lice.
7. No danger from rats and other
enemies.
8. Incubator cannot mess up eggs.
Just suppose you have a setting of
very valuable eggs and that you know
how to operate an incubator properly.
How do you think you would hatch
them? Would you put them in the
incubator in order to be certain of
etting a fair per cent, of fairly strong
chicks, or would you take a chance on
the old hen and get more and stronger
chicks or none at all if things went
badly? Just think this over and you
will see there is a good chance for
argument on both sides. You will also
see that it is a question to decide for
1 younelf.
THE CITIZFN, FREDERICK. MD.
Ancient King a Terror.
Mithxidates, king of Pontius, is rare
ly mentioned nowadays, but in the
year SS B. C. he was the terror of the j
world. He killed his own family, !
slaughtered seven different kings and
their courts, marched through Asia
and left everywhere trails of dead. He
invaded Greece and there slaughtered
nearly half a million human beings,
then he marched against Rome with
awful carnage. In his own army he
lost only 85,000 men. but he is thought
to have killed at least twenty times
that number of his enemies.
Languages of the World.
Strange as it may seem, there are
more than four thousand languages
spoken by mankind, while the num
ber of dialects exceeds this. There
are more than sixty vocabularies in
Brazil and in Mexico the Xahua is
broken up into some seven hundred j
dialects. There are hundreds in ;
Borneo, while in Australia there is no
classifying the complexities. Assum- j
ing that 30 dialects on the average '
belong to each language, we have the ,
colossal total of 250,000 linguistic va
rieties.
Various Seats of Memory.
It is seriously doubted, from re- ;
cent researches, that the memory |
resides in any particular tissue such i
as the brain, the ganglion cells or the !
nerves. It has been proved expert- j
mentally by a host of laboratory scien- i
: lists that any kind of human tissue. :
such as skin, muscles, stomach, kid- ;
neys or any part of the fabric of life,
retains and is able to repeat an im
■ pression once received. —Dr. Leonard
Keene Hirshberg.
First English Newspaper.
The first newspaper printed in the
English language, with its old English 1
type and its quaint account of events j
in foreign countries, was a pamphlet j
issued in 1621. Its title, "Corrant or |
Xevves From Italie, Germanie, France
and Other Places,” is as curious as
its contents. For many years it had
been supposed that no copy of the
Corrant was in existence but recently
a copy of this interesting document
was discovered. —Exchange.
Consoling Philosophy.
Perhaps if one were browsing
around, amusing himself trying to j
hit upon the most consoling bit of
philosophy ever written, this of So
crates would be easy to surpass. “If i
all our misfortunes were laid in one
heap, whence every one must take
an equal portion, most people would
be content to take their own and de
part,” 1
Now, Jasper!
"There is one thing that has al
ways refused to ooze through my i
noodle,” remarked Jasper Knox, the
sage of Piketown-on-the-Blink, "and
that is this: If, as the newspapers
would have us believe, all brides are
beautiful, where in Sam Hill do all
the homely married women come
from?"—Judge.
Just and Calm Manner.
Nothing can be a better influence
for any child than a just and calm
manner of elders in the family, and a
reasonable regularity of Hfe. Such
examples breed followers of like qual
ities and habits which are healthful in
the highest degree.—Exchange.
Heat in Wood and Coal.
It takes a cord and a half of short
leaf pine, hemlock, red gum, Douglas
fir. sycamore and soft maple to equal
a ton of coal, and two cords of cedar,
redwocd, poplar, catalpa, Norway
pine, cypress, basswood, spruce and
white pine.
"Rose of Hell.”
The “Rose of Hell” is the name
given to a flower that blooms on a
tree of great size and strength grow
ing on the sides of Mount Agua—a
high peak among the rugged moun
tains of Central America
1
Will Prove It Himself.
There is no excuse for using abrupt
and inelegant language in accusing a
man of deliberate mendacity. Let him
go on talking and if he is what you
think he is he will tell it on himself.
What Is Real?
The professor who went five days i
without eating says the pain caused j
by starvation is almost purely im- |
aginary. Maybe so, but the pleasure
of eating is real.
I
Without Exception.
Every normal girl passes through
a period when she wishes her name
were Celeste or something of the kind.
—Columbus (O.) Journal.
Doing Well on Small Mean*
It is no small commendation to man
age a little well. He is a good wagoner
that can turn in a little room.—Bishop
Hall.
And Deserves Them.
Then, again, it is the fellow who
goes fishing for compliments who gets
the most rebuffs.—Pittsburgh Sun.
To Prevent Cheese Molding.
A good way to prevent cheese from
molding is to wrap it in a cloth wrung
out in vinegar and then in paper.
Old Pension Plan.
They had a roundabout way of be
stowing military pensions in the old
days. Witness this official communi
cation from the British war office in
the reign of Queen Anne. Her majes- j
ty, it runs, has been pleased to grant
Fittoa Minshull, a child, a commis
sion as ensign in consequence of the
loss of bffs father, who died in the
service. And Fitton was at the same
time granted furlough until further
order, his arm> pay being sent regu
larly to his mother.
Australia's Animal Pests.
Australia is cursed with certain
pests, such as rabbits, wild dog, kanga
roo and blowfly. Large sums of money
are spent in an endeavor to lessen the
number of rabbits. It is estimated
that in Victoria alone 130,000,000
were put to death in 1913. It is gen
erally admitted that ten rabbits eat
as much as one sheep, and many
graziers have long since realized that
they cannot profitably run sheep on
properties infested with rabbits.
New Facts About Cancer.
A study of 1,000 cases of cancer of
the stomach reveals the fact that this
disease claims more men than women
as its victims and that it occurs most
frequently between the ages of forty
and sixty years. Ulcer of- the stom
ach. on the other hand, appears most
frequently between the ages of twen
ty and forty years. In over 90 per
cent of the cases of cancer heredity
seemed to play no part whatever.
Work for an Expert.
A Pennsylvania man is said to be
trying to grow a watermelon with a
handle by which it may easily be car
ried. Practical, perhaps, but alto
gether unnecessary! What the world
needs is a watermelon with a cutaway
bilge, allowing for it to be cut into
reverse curves, so that it may be
eaten in the good old-fashioned way
without getting the ears full of water.
—Providence Journal.
Quite Portable.
A man who had taken an interest
in the “back to the land” movement
and had gone so far as to invest in a
bungalow met a friend who was anx
ious to know how he had made out.
“Was that one of those portable bun
galows you bought?” asked the friend.
“I guess it was,” replied the other,
rather ruefully. “The wind carried
it away one day.”
Getting Rid of Sparrow Pest.
Nowhere is the English sparrow in
cluded among the birds protected by
law, and as individuals and flocks
have an extremely narrow range, each
flock occupying one locality to which
its activities are chiefly confined, they
are easily exterminated. When a
place has once been cleared of spar
rows it will be some time before it is
reoccupied.
Marvelous Activities.
A diner in a restaurant thought he
w ould have a joke with the waiter, and
asked him if he had ever seen a saus
age roll. “Say,” said the waiter, ‘1
have not only seen a sausage roll,
but I have seen a biscuit box.% table
spoon, a chimney sweep, a chain link,
a nose gay, a camera slide, a garden
fence, a sword fish and a wall flower.”
Where the Insane Act.
At the Johns Hopkins hospital in
Baltimore there is a completely fitted
theater for the use of the insane pa
tients. The patients themselves act
in the plays presented, and in many
cases with most beneficial results.
Good Nature.
The world deals good-naturedly with
good-natured people, says Thackeray,
and I never knew a sulky misanthrop
ist who quarreled with it but it was
he, and not it, that was in the wrong.
Stock Definition.
Little Johnny, on being asked by
his school-teacher if he knew what
was meant by "at par,” replied that
“Ma was alw-ays at pa when he came
home late.”—Exchange.
China Big Peanut Exporter.
One Chinese province exports more
than 150,000 tons of peanuts annually,
all because an American missionary
20 years ago gave to a native convert
a quart of seed.
Vividly Imaginary.
Some men imagine that they are the
powerhouse of the universe, and that
the whole town would be dark if
they'd quit.
Skeptical.
“Don't tell me you're a college grad
uate! Why, this letter of yours hasn't
a single misspelled word in it!”—Life.
The Better Quality.
The man who is dependable has
something on the chap who is merely
brilliant. —Philadelphia Inquirer.
_
Demand Attention.
Duties retire evermore from the
observation of those who slight them
—Sarah W. Stephen.
Piscatorial Note.
The tale is usually the biggest part
of the fish.—Philadelphia Publio
Ledger.
OPENS EJTPLOTMENT BrREAU.
Tnele Sam Will Assist Those Who Ap
peal For Work.
Uhele Sam has opened an employ
ment bureau. Notice has been given
out by the Frederick postoffice, as well
as those all over the country, that
applications of both people seeking
work and employers, can be turned in
to the postoffice and sent to the De
partment of Labor, free of charge, if
the rules and regulations governing
the bureau are followed out.
Blank forms of applications for em
ployment and for employes, are to be
had from Postmaster Birely and the
service is free to both employer and
employe.
It is announced that the govern
ment has instituted this bureau be
cause of the strenuous times now ex
isting and the fact that large numbers
of people have been out of work for
some time. It will be a permanent in
stitution.
