Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1882-12-09

THE act of the Maryland Legislature
OF 1882 revIving the whipping post is
10 he contested as unconstitutional. -
he case of Thomas Foote, colored
wife beaten, who WAS sentenced to re
ceive thirteen flashes, will be used as
test case Heretofore Delaware has
stood alone as the exponent of colpor
cal punishment, but now that Maryland
and Virginia have adopted this six
teenth century custom the question OF
its usefulness or barbarlty Will no doubt
be thoroughly discussed and decided.
General agitation is desirable. 1t the
whipping post will put stop to wife
hcaiiDg and petty crimes it should
have place in every county jail; but
If it Will not reduce the number of pet
ty crimes with better success than the
penitentiary prevents burglaries and
the gallows prevents murders it should
be left with the other relics of the dark
ages. Maryland and Virginia will per-
haps decide the question within few
months.

friend as follows:
NASHUA, Fla, Dec. oath, 1881.
FRIEND s: You wanted letter in full
or l should have written you long ago, but
have been waiting a chance. 1 have now
been here seven years, and can say that now
can see a breathing-spell. have had to
work hard since 1 came, and in three Years
more will be where can work or. plav as 7
please. 1 came here and took homestead
OF l6O acres and commenced right in the
woods to make home. Two years after
entered the place sold so acres of land for
$1,000. Well, that kept the wheel rolling.
"hen l hrst came, woman gave me a bush
el OF sour oranges and planted the seeds.
and had about 5000 trees out of it, set ont
1000, and sold the balance for $500, and have
had more or less trees to sell every year, but
now am going in for a nursery. shall plant
about two bushels of orange seeds this year :;
think will get at least 40, 600 trees out of
them. My own grove has commenced to bear
had about 500 oranges this year. I refused
$1,000 for our place last spring. am about
half mile from the st. Johns river, on hill
The land is high and rolling, but of a sandy
nature just the thing to raise oranges and

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Some Valuable Suggestions from the
elderly Maiden"

elderly Maiden"
Prompted by feelings of kindly interest nat
ural to elderly single ladies, 1 attended two
sessions of the meeting lately held by the
state board of agriculture at our shire town
Twas glad to find so many lady readers of The
PHOENIX present, among whom think rec
ognized Aunt Sally and exchanged opin-
ions with her upon the merits of the samples
of ensilage shown by Mr.. Harvey of the New
Hampshire Board.
think the three portly members of that
board demonstrated both physically and men
tally, in their own persons, that the Granite
State is good state to produce men. The
jolly secretary, James O. Adams, asked the
farmers il they knew that in following tho
pillow all day they walked sixteen miles. He
advised them to ride upon the sulky pillow, and
see if they did not feel less inclined to find
fault with their supper.
Theremarks of Mr.. Hills of Plaistow, on
the culture of fruit, were exceedingly inter
esting. He said that the lady who presided
over his household always had remarkable
success in making jellies, without knowing
exactly why but the reason had lately been
found: the fruits were used before they were
perfectly ripe. Dead-ripe fruit would never
make firm jelly. Grapes that had been frost
ed so as to unfit them for market purposes
would still make nice jelly. Honor Mr.. Hills
particularly for his assertion that, however
many apples or how much other fruit he
raises, he always selects the best for home
consumption for said he, ''If any one de-
serves the best, it is the family of him who
raises it," He told the farmers, if they wish
ed to preserve apples until next summer or
longer to wrap them separately in tissue pa
per and pack in d box or barrel of gypsum or
plaster, which excludes the air, and they come
out as perfect as when packed, but would
have to be used Immediately, as they would
not keep long after exposure to the air. He
advised boys when out berrying, if they found
some bushes Gas they would which bore ex-
ceptionally large, fne-havored fruit, TO tie
Irvine around such bushes, leaving long enough
ends flying SO that they could readily distin-
guish them and when the leaves had fallen,
at proper time, to transplant them to their
gardens and note the effect upon them of Gull
tivation. If they wished to originate a new
variety, they should place the seeds of some
OF the earliest and finest berries in a box of
damp sand-not wet, but of just sufficient
moisture to keep them from drying up-and
put them on the cellar bottom, covering Sc
curely from rats and mice, and the next spring
SOW them, and when large enough transplant
in rows and, although the tendency was al
ways backward toward inferiority, there would
be sure to be some superior specimens.
Mr.. Davis advised farmers wives to be eco
nomieal, and satisfied to be farmers wives.
and not wish to be the wives of somebody
else thought his remarks could not apply
to farmers wives of my acquaintance. Per
haps IS" can tell us how it is in Westminster.
