FISH CULTURE.-Mr. Jacob Showers, of Man
chester, writes to the editors of the Westmin-
ster Advocate as follows:
"In an article in your last weeks issue, on
the subject of fish culture in this county, in
naming the streams which should have atten
ton, you omitted all those on the Eastern slope
of the county. We have, first, the Gunpcwder,
which runs through the county upwards of ten
miles, and where it escapes into Baltimore
county is as large as either the Patapsco or
Pipe Greek. Within a century shad were
caught in it at Kreh's, then Fite's mill, Just
four N lies east of Manchester. Next we have
Georges Run" and ''Grave Rum" coursing re-
spectvely six and FIVE miles through this coun-
ty, and at the Baltimore county line are equal
to "Morgan's Run" or "Beaver Run" There
are also "Murphy's Rum" and the tributaries
of the streams named, some of which are of
considerable length and size
"As the State has made contribution for the
propagation Of fish, our delegates should exert
themselves to secure some OF the benefits of the
contribution, and also have strenuous laws pass
ed in Baltimore and Carroll counties to protect
the fish after they are bred. Ihope persons will
interest themselves in this matter, and aid and
urge our delegates to effect something useful in
! the matter"

GUNPowDER AGRICULTURAL CLUB, JR.-Re-
ported By Member: The monthly meeting Of
this Club was held at the residence of Frank
Scott, on Saturday of last week, and organized
by appointing Eli A. Matthews foreman. C.
H. Price was appointed secretary pro tenn.
After appointing a committee on criticism
examination of the farming operations
crops, &C., was made. We were shown field
of wheat where Whitelock's Vegetator and
plaster had been applied together, about three
pecks of plaster to each bag of fertilizer. The
wheat looks we'll and promises heavy crop.
In the same field is piece of barley which
gives evidence of a good yield.
The barn and other buildings were visited.
The stock is all in fine condition and carefully
kept The farm implements are all stored un-
der shelter.
On returning to the house the minutes of the
last meeting held at the residence of Mr.. Scott,
were read also the minutes of the last meet
ing.
communication from the Senior Club was
received, requesting a committee from the Jr.
Club to confer with similar one of the Sr. Club
in regard to series of chemical lectures. G..
E. Shelley, John Tarbert and BENZ. Brooks
were named as that committee and ordered to
report at the next meeting.
A memorial was presented asking the Leg
islature to take the management of the Agri-
cultural College out of the hands Of its present
managers ana place 1t under the control OF a
commission of intelligent and educated farm.
ers. resolution was passed endorsing the
above. and the secretary was instructed to APP
pend it to the memorial.
The question, sis it profitable to raise stock, "
was discussed. The question of sheep raising
was considered one of great Importance.
The club adjourned to meet at the residence
of Benjamin Brooks, March 18th.
Edwin Scott represented the Sr. Club, and C.
Wilson Matthews was appointed to attend the
next meeting of that Club.

REMOVAL OF TIE EASTERN HAY ScALEs.-Pe-
titions numerously signed by the farmers of
Hartford and Baltimore counties, asking fer the
removal of the Eastern Hay Scales, have been
presented to the Legislature, and there is every
probability that their wishes will be carried
out The present location is altogether un-
suitable, on account of its proximity TO the
Western Maryland Railroad, and the danger
to teams from passing trains.
Another polns IN connection with this mat
ter bas been urged with considerable force be-
| fore the committee to whom the matter was re
ferred, of which Mr.. Rutledge, of Hartford, is
chairman. Under the present arrangement the
loaded teams are obliged to stand in the street,
unprotected from the weather, awaiting pur-
chasers. II the weather happens to be stormy
and lnclement, buyers take advantage of the
fact and demand a reduction in price entirely
disproportionate to the amount of damage to
the hay by the rain snow. This reduction,
too, seldom enures to the benefit of the con-
sumner, but goes into the pockets of the mid
dIemen. In some cases as much as 500 pounds
have been deducted from the weight of load,
on the ground of supposed damage to that
amount. In rain, hail or snow the drivers and
their teams are com PEELED to wait patiently in
the street until the middleman puts in an ap-
pearance, and buys the load. The proposition
to the committee referred to, in addition to the
removal of the Scales to some point contiguous
is that suitable sheds shall be erected, under
which loaded hay wagons may be driven, after
being weighed, where they can await the ar
rival of purchasers. In other words, it is
sought to establish regular hay market, SIM
liar to those in Philadelphia, New York and
other places.
A very large amount of hay raised in Har
ford and Baltimore counties annually finds a
market in Baltimore city, and this branch of
farming in those sections, will be largely in
creased in a few years, owing to the inability
of Maryland farmers to compete with the great
West in grain growing.
AS matter of simple justice, therefore, to
very large body of farmers, who have been
forced for years to submit to the exactions OF
middlemen in the way of dockage, &C., and
the inhumanity of compelling men and horses
to stand in the street exposed to the inclemen-
cies of the weather, we hope the Legislature
will provide the accommodations asked for by
the farming community.-BeLair EgiS.
