An Agricultural Feature.

An old patron Of the BEACON, and thought-
fol friend Of the farming interest Of our county,
suggests that we Sc, apart weekly column or so
OF our space to the discussion by correspondents
Of matters pertaining 10 farming. Thinking the
suggestion good one, we cheerfully accept 1t,
and stipulate TO allow our planting friends two
columns Tor more il they desire III of each issue
Of our paper to give expression TO their views on
this or eognaie subjects. Beyond the advantages
which are likely to flow from the interchange Of
farm experiences through thecounty press, the pro-
posed means OF intercourse will probably have
the happy effect of building up closer brother
hood among planters than now exists, as also Of
Introducing something like system in their pres
ent modes Of cultiyaiing their lands At pres
emit each farmer interrogates chiefly his own e1-
perence or follows the old devices Of his father,
and this whilst the knowledge of chemistry in
deed, the whole range Of agricultural science
s daily advancing BY contrasting each 9TH
ers farm experiments and experiences, With their
results, through the pleasant medium OF the
county paper, valuable fund of information,
specially adapted 10 our soil and climate, will
be obtained and must eyenuale in great public
benefit. At any rate, 1t will not cost anything
TO test the suggestion of our friend and we there
fore invite our farmers to try H. and as many Of
these are inexperienced in writing for the
press, we willingly engage TO assist them in Civ
ing their thoughts creditable presentation. AS
nothing can be, or rather, ever is complete With
ont the aid Of woman, there is no good reason
why the wives and daughters Of our farmers
should not contribute TO the proposed new de-
partmcnt Of our paper by giving their expcri-
ences in household, garden and poultry manage
mcnt.

THE FUNDING BILL.-The new fund
ing bill, as il passed the House Of Rep
resentatives on the 18th instant, pro-
yides for three per cent. bond 10 an
amount not exceeding $500, 100000, 10
run for FIVE years and be made payable
in ten years, with $300,0OO,OOO certi.
fcates, bearing per cent. interest
likewise, and redeemabfe at the pleas
ure of the government in one or ten
ars. The commissions on the oper-
atoms Of the treasury are not TO be IN
excess Of / of one per cent. The new
8 per cent. bonds authorized by the act
are to be the only securities after May
1st 1881, receivable as security for the
circulation OF the National Banks, but
provision is made for the substitution OF
other issues of United States bonds by
the banks when the bonds Of this series
have been called in for redemption
Upon the proposition TO fix the rate OF
interest al per cent, the Maryland
members divided, as follows :--Messrs.
Talbot, Kimmell and Henkle, af-
frmative-Messrs. Nc lane and Urner
in the negative. Upon the proposition
of Mr.. Carlisle to amend TIE 5th section
by providing that after the LIST Of May,
1881, the three per cent. bonds shall be
the only bonds receivable as security
for national book circulation or as Sc
'curity for The safe keeping oe public
money, Messrs. Henry, Talbot, KIM
NELL Henkle and McLane voted IN the
affirmative and Mr.. Urner in the mega
tive. The bill was then passed-ycas,
1875, nays 1875, all the Maryland repre-
sentatives voting for it, except Mr.
Urner, who voted against it. The bill
now goes 10 the Senate, where IFS OPP
ponents hope to induce that body tc
make the rate OF interest higher, and
We predict that they will succeed Of
defeat the measure altogether. The
higher the rate Of interest, the larger
of course, the dividends Of the money
power.
