The eastern SHORE of Maryland has
within very few years past exhibited q re-
markable degree Of Improvement. Agriculture
in all its branches has made rapid progress and
the introduction Of new methods Of cultivation
has worked q surprising change in the health
Of that region, which was at one time so pro-
verbally bad as to depreciate the value Of pro-
perty and drive away large amount ofindus-
trious population. The malarious fever has
almost entirely disappeared. Physicians at
tribute this, and, no doubt, correctly, to the
use of lime, guano, &C., for agricultural pur-
poses, the chemical properties of those power
'ful agents acting as disinfectanfs and purifiers
of the atmosphere. Of course. as soon as this
fact was ascertained great impetus was given
to the nse Of these articles, and thus farming
operations and the general health have made
corresponding advances.
The importance Of this change can only be
properly estimated by those who have visited
that famous section Of the State of Maryland,
lying east Of the Chesapeake bay, and seen its
fine farms neglected and half TILED, because Of
the pestilential fevers which reigned every
where. This is no longer so. Land hes in
creased largely in value, and progress is every
where visible, the towns and villages of course
improving with the rural sections from which
they draw their sustenance. This change is Of
peculiar interest to philadelphia, as much Of
the trade Of the eastern shore reaches this city
by means Of various lines Of communication,
and must do so still more largely hereafter,
when newr1ines now projected are completed.
