Forest Fires For 1909 In Cecil
Couitty. * *
NUMBER, 6 ; ACRES BURNED OVER, 78 J
ESTIMATED DAMAGE, $235.
This is the season of the year when most
of the forest fires occur that result from
'brush burning and the clearing up of old
fields, louring the past year 20 per cent
of the forest fires of which the cause was
known started from careless brush burn
ing. These spring fires are, as a rule,
ifaore destructive" than those in the
autumn, because the trees in the spring
have come out of the dormant state of
winter and begun the growth activities of
another season when the buds and bark
are easily injured.
The state forest fire laws make it a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine and
imprisonment, for any one to allow a fire
to escape from his own lands fo those of
his _ neighbor. It is, therefore, of the
greatest importance in the burning of
brush, the firing of marshes, or in burning
off old fields, that every precaution be
taken to prevent the spread of the fire
beyond the limits marked. The State
Forest Wardens are authorized to take all
necessary steps to extinguish fires when
they occur, and the local warden should
be notified in every case when a fire is
beyond control, in order that prompt
action may be taken. But the best way
to deal with forest fires is to prevent them,
and that can 'only be done by cooperating
with .the state and county officials in the
strict enforcement of our fire laws, which
are ample to deal with any cases that may
arise; The damage from for
1909, as reported by the forest wardens,
shows the seriousness of this matter.
There were 84 fires reported, which burn
ed over 23,277 acres of woodland and
caused a damage of $82,200. This does
not include all the fires that occurred, nor
does it cover the full loss to young growth,
which would add considerably more to the
above estimate. Thirty of the fires re
ported were extinguished by the forest
wardens and the assistants they employ
ed, at a total cost of $567, which was
paid by the several counties in which the
fires occurred. It would be difficult to
find a greater return for so small an
expenditure of public money.
Maryland’s Timber Cut For 1908.
The first complete report upon the
lumber and timber production of the
State has just been issued by the State
Forester covering the year 1908. A re

fencing material cut, and utilized on the
farm, nor any other material except that
which is actually sold.

Entertainment at West Nottingham.
The pupils of West Nottingham Acad
emy are to 'vender another of their old
time entertainments Friday night, April
8, in the chapel of West Nottingham
Chnrch. Those who enjoyed “She Stoops
to Conquer" last year will have another
treat in the Academy’s program for Fri
day, consisting as it does of two clever
little comedies, “A String of Pearls” and
“A box of Monkeys” in addition to a
performance of the Mt. Zoar Minstrels.
The titles alone of the plays with their
promise of amusement should attract a
great many of the Academy’s Risiag Sun
friends to West Nottingham, especially
since the entertainment is to be given for
the .benefit of the school's athletics.

Alcohol to Children
Ask your doctor how often he prescribes an alcoholic
stimulant for children. He will probably say, “Very, very
rarely. Children do not need stimulating.” . Ask him
how often'he prescribes a tonic for them. He will prob
ably answer, “Very, very frequently.” Then ask him
about Ayer’s non-alcoholic Sarsaparilla as a tonic forThe
young. Follow his advice. He knows. /. c. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass.

Will not crack and roll off like slate. Will not rip at the seams

Railroad' Aids in Agricultural
Work.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has for some time been engaged in prac
tical experiments in tbe matter of inten
sive farming, and has thereby rendered a
practical service to tbe cause of agricul
ture. The New York Central has taken
up another phase of the farming situation
by purchasing “run-down” farms and
redeeming them by scientific and intel
ligent methods. The number of aband
oned farms in certain sections of the
country tell a pathetic and depressing
story of the movement toward the cities,
and-tbe failure of the farmer, who should
“feed them all,” to be able to feed him
self.
The redemption of these abandoned
farms and tbe that would be
taught by making known the methods
employed in that redemption offer a field
for a great work, and so does the appli
cation of the "intensive system in making
two blades grow where but one grew be
fore. '
This work must necessarily be, to a
certain extent, both experimental and
expensive. The individual, unless he
has a “bug” for fancy farming and very
large means at bis command, is not able
to carry Out tbe necessary experiments.
It is highly gratifying, therefore, to find
these two great railr.oad systems building
up' the waste places along their lines by
carrying forward the new and improved
system of agriculture which scientific
investigation has brought to tbe front.
The railroads themselves will reap' their
reward, but the great mass of tbe people
will, after all, be tbe greater gainers from
this timely and systematic work.—Balti

Strikes Loom For Soft Coal Fields.
Only immediate increases in wages will
prevent numerous aud widespread strikes
in tbe bituminons coal mines of the!
country, according to action taken at the
special convention of the United Mine
Workers Tuesday, following final disa
greement and dissolution of tbe joint con
ference of the Central Cempetitive Field
The terms proposed by the miners for
the continuation of work after the
expiration of the present agreements oo
midnight Thursday will admit of no com
promise so far as wages are concerned.
On most other questions, however, there
is room for agreement, and the general
trend of opinion among men and em
ployers was that no long suspension will
result excepHn a few fields. .
The most threatening aspect over
shadows the Pennsylvania and Illinois
fields. In Pennsylvania there can be no
new contract short of a settlement of the
controversy over the na m explosive laws
of that State, and in Illinois tbe old
problem of payment tbe servgcA of
shot firers looms up as a possible barrier
to peaceful settlement.
