Baltimore City and Baltimore County

Tho Saa VI Tuesday says: ~ Washington
subscriber wants to know whether Baltimore city
is included In Baltimore county. and u II be so.
why they have separate governments and separate
sheriifs Tho mere fact Of having separate
governments. with separate sherifs. each having
his distinct Jurisdiction, ought Of itself TO be a
sufficient indication that Baltimore city aud Bal.
timorc county are independent communities. with
independent powers. Originally Baltimore city
was included in Baltimore county, and so con
tinued until 1854, when . separation took place.
aud since then each has managed its own Affairs.
The mistake Of our correspondent probably arose
from the fact that In the United States census Of
is6o and also Of 1870 the population Of Baltimore
10 included In the Of aud under the head Of
Baltimore county, instead Of being separated and
placed under . distinct head. Hut the fact re.
mains that Baltimore city and Baltimore county
are separate and distinct jurisdictions."

the family garden, however, the runners
constitute second CROP only, after the
old plants have already spent most Of
their strength and productiveness in the
maturing of crop of berries, and can
never fully recuperate from the effects
OF the stlnted nourishment during their

Young beds produce better and larger

Top dressing Grass Lands.

Every progressive farmer wishes to get
the greatest amount possible from his
lands and yet keep them in as good con-
dition as possible. If the land be de-
voted to grass, then it should be top
dressed as often as every second year in
order to secure the largest crop possible
better, perhaps, every year until the
land is rich enough to give from four to
SIX tons to the acre at two cuttings.
There are many farmers to-day-the old
style ones-who persistently declare that
ton to an acre is pretty good crop,
and If they get two tons to the acre at
two crops they are doing very well: We
do not assert that all lands that are sown
to grass will produce even as much as
that, but we do say and are fully pre-
pared to prove that on what are called
good grass lands, it is an easy matter to
raise four or five tons, and not very
difficult to raise six tons to an acre in
very favorable years.
This can only be accomplished by the
free use of stable manure or other dress
ing. If the land be well dressed with
good stable manure every second year it
does very well, but if commercial fer
tilizers are used they must be applied
every year. Now the very best time to
apply the former is in the fall, spreading
1t broadcast, not leaving it in heaps to
be spread at convenience. If the latter
be used, it may be sown broadcast late
in the fall or very early in spring. We
have had good results from both methods.
Let good farmers make all proper efforts
to secure the best of crops.-Congrega-
tiOnnHSf

Is Grass King ?

Under the title of {" The Supremacy Of
Grass, the New York Tribune says:
The great arabic crop of the country is
maize, worth three-fourths of billion
last year, but The value of grass was
very much greater. That portion which
is cured Tor winter use is small compared
with what is gathered by the farm ami
mails themselves, in summer, and in every
season of the rolling year. 1t is not the
grass farm IN England that fails to rent.
but the arabic grain and turnip lands on
which the pinch of competition falls
soonest and hardest. Illinois has mainly
gone to grass, except about fourth Of
the area given up to corn, and prospers
IN proportion to the extent of yerdure
Iowa is fast following the example, and
IS reaplng the reward of this stroke of
rura! economy. Southern Wisconsin and
Southern Minnesota are rapidly extend
ing moving and pasturage, and enlarp
ing Hocks and herds, and ESTABLISHING
butter and cheese factories. The South
is beginning to think better of grass :
there Is field for enterprise in dairying
and meat production on the Alleghanian
plateaus and slopes which will one dav
make the fortune of multitudes. Land
can be had at nominal rates, capable of
growing clover and orchard grass. in a
climate healthful and comfortable as anv
in the United States, where market for
butter and cheese at high prices could
be enjoyed until competition should
equallze the superior advantage"

the entire congregation behind the car
