NS- The Democrats are very much dishearten-
ed at the progress their canvass is making. Very
few outside of the old bunker politicians and the
office hunters say outright that they will vote
their whole ticket. They are tired of the local
bosses and they want a change.

superiors elsewhere. The proprietors are widely
and favorably known, especially Mr.. Philip
Rogers, who was over thirty years in the house OF
Coleman Rogers, and now connected with his
house on North avenue, in the Belt, to both of
which he will give personal supervision. Mr..
Lilly is also generally known, as are the other

to very large patronage. We heartily wish the
propretors abundant success.

A Railroad Through Deer Creek Valley,
Hartford County.-The Beair 1Egis says "a
party of gentlemen interested in obtaining better
railroad facilities for the Deer Creek valley,
waited upon President Roberts, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, at his Office in Phla-
delphia, few days ago, and were introduced by
Hon. Jacob Tome of Port Deposit.
"Judge Price represented the urgent need of
better railroad facilities for the residents of the
Deer Creek section. President Roberts gave the
committee polite hearing. They were very ia
voraby impressed and express themselves well
satisfied with their interview. President Roberts
promised to send a corps of engineers to survey
the different routes proposed and to give the mat
ter his attention.
at is understood that there is to be further
meeting in this interest in Philadelphia shortly,
with representative citizens of Hartford county
present to consider the extension of the Baltimore
Central railroad through Hartford county from the
mouth of Deer creek to Stemmer's Run, on the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail
road, or to Riders Switch, on the Northern Cen
trail Railway. The proposed extension is to con-
meet one of the points just named with the por-
ton of the Baltimore Central now running from
Philadelphia to the mouth of 0ctOrara creek,
where it now connects with the Port Deposit and
Columbia Railroad. To do this the Susquehanna
would have to be bridged. 1t is proposed to have
the extension run near or through Belair. The
benefits to accrue to Hartford from this extension,
it is said cannot well be overstated."

Baltimore County Breeders at the Tri-
County Fair.-At the tri-county fair held at
Hagerstown this week, our county was represented
by the following gentlemen and their herds ::
Messrs. Watts & Seth, Jerseys; Hon. Andrew
Banks, Jerseys; Messrs. Clark & Jones, Jerseys;
James Watts, Guernseys; DR.. F. W. Patterson,
Dutch Friesians; John Merryman, Hayfelds,
Herefords. These herds added much to the sue
cess of the fair and was excellent card for our
county, establishing the fact very clearly in the
minds of the thousands of people attending the
Hagerstown fair that Baltimore county cannot be
equalled in the production of high bred cattle.
The Guernseys exhibited by Mr.. Watts, were
greatly admired, and justly so, we think.
Messrs. Watts & Seth did not exhibit their
leading COW, value I'd.
The attendance of so many well known Balt-
more countians gave the grounds very home
like appearance Almost convincing one that he
was at Timonium instead of being in that pro-
ductve farming section surrounding Hagerstown.
Mr.. Lewis Ripple, of Baltimore, exhibited his
Percherons, IS in all, consisting of stations, mares
and colts.
Master Arthur Bosley, of Highlands, near Tow
sontown, had his poultry on exhibition, and his
exhibit was not equalled by any on the ground.
The managers of the fair were untiring in their
attentions to those of people who were exhibit
tors, one gentleman telling the writer that they
would not allow him to pay for anything, not
even hack ride. They also furnished them with
passes to Shippensburg, over the Cumberland
Valley Railroad, to visit "Cob Web" the farm of
of Mr.. G. B. Dykeman, one of the most extensive
breeders of Jersey cattle in the country, where a
couple of hours were spent very pleasantly
Among others of the party were Messrs. 7. Alex
Seth, Hon. Andrew Banks, ]. G. Clarke, DR.. Pat
terson and Jas. Watts, of this county.

Canned Goods Topics.-Upon this subject
the editor of the Havre-de- Grace Republican
writes: 1.-THE canning season in Hartford is prac-
ticaly over, nearly all of packers having shut
down. We do not hear of any corn now being
packed, though some few houses are still running
lightly on tomatoes. During the past week we
have visited the New York and Boston markets,
and we no reason to change the opinion ex
pressed during the last several weeks. The pack
in the country, both in corn and tomatoes, is light,
and those of our packers who have not yet sold
will find it to their advantage to hold on for bet
ter figures.
"The importance of the packers of Hartford
county, who put up frst-class goods, organizing
themselves into association, for their mutual
advantage and benefit, is clearly shown by the
following incident: entering one of the largest
establishments in the country in one OF the
Eastern cities we asked them whether they were
handling any Hartford county goods this year.
We were informed that they had last year, but
this year they had bought only one lot of 800
cases of Hartford county tomatoes, which turned
out so poor that they refused to accept them, and
were almost afraid to touch Hartford county goods.
At our request three or four cans were opened,
and the lot of trash we saw pretty thoroughly
convinced that if Hartford county packers de-
sire to retain their reputation for putting up first
class goods, they must adopt some uniformity OF
action that will make the name of Hartford coun-
ty, Maryland, pack the synonym of frst-class
goods. These goods bore the name of the packer
with Hartford county, Maryland, but did not give
the packers postofice address. We informed the
gentleman that the fact of the packers not Civ
ing his postoffice was sufficient evidence, to our
mind, that the goods not first-class, and that
the seller was evidently trading on the reputation
of Hartford county goods. Look at the matter in
whatever light we may, such transactions as these
hurt the reputation of the legitimate and honest
packers and the only remedy we can see is in a
more thorough organization of the honest packers
of Hartford county who desire to maintain the
high excellence for which her goods are noted in
the markets of the world"
We think it would be good idea for the
packers of Baltimore county to organize an asso-
citation, such as suggested above, for the better
protection of their business. The success of the
Northern Hartford County Association plainly
illustrates the good effects of organization.
The cred SeaP' brand of this company always
finding ready sale at remunerative figures.

Guardian work FOR ootoher Mar,

Garden WORK Tor OctoDer.-The Mary
tdnd Farmer suggests the following to be done in
the garden this month:
Lettace.-Set these out in warm border as
soon as they are large enough to transplant. Dig
the ground well and well manure it. In setting
out the plants let them stand six inches apart,
and when cold weather sets in protect them with
light covering of brushwood and straw
Setting out Cabbage Pidnts.-Eary in tho
month manure the required bed heavily, and
spade it well in, giving the preference to south
ern or southeastern exposure. Throw the soil into
parallel ridges three feet apart and four inches
high. Press the slopes of the ridges compactly
down with the back of the spade and then set the
plants about midway of the hedge and on the
north side of it. The plants should stand about
six inches apart. Towards the close of Novem-
Der strew stable manure or loose straw along the
valleys between the ridges and to about the
height at which the plants stand in the row.
Leave all this through the winter. Early in the
spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground,
draw the earth from the crests of the ridges into
the valleys with hoe so as to level the entire
surface. Thin out the plants for use as soon as
they sufficiently advanced in growth. Keep
the soil loose and the bed free from weeds as the
season advances, and as the remaining plants be-
gin to expand draw earth about their roots, and
at the third and last working give them final
hoeing and dressing up.
Cdu|ifotver and Broccoi.-Work these care
fully during the month and keep the soil loose
and clear. Towards the end of the month COM
mence to hill them.
Asparagus Beds.-Mow all off and clean thor
oughly the asparagus beds soon as the stems
begin to turn yellow. Fork the soil over lightly
and finish by top-dressng the beds literally, first
with well-rotted stable manure, and over this
mixture of salt and ashes, the proportion being
three parts of salt to one of ashes.
Celery.-Earth up celery from time to time and
water freely in dry weather.
Small tSalading-The final seedlings for the
season may be made during the first half of this
month.
RhuJar6, Pie Plant.-Rhubarb seed sown
during this month will advance the plants year
over those seeded next spring.
Chalots, Carries and ChiUes.-All these roots
should be planted out during this month.
Horse Radish.-Plant out bed of this whole
some condiment early in the month The crowns
of old roots will speedily strike, and when once
they obtain root hold there will be no difficulty in
perpetuating them.
Rasp6ewies, GooseJeries and Currants-New
plantations of these excellent small fruits may
now be set out. Plant the raspberries four feet
apart in the row, and the gooseberries and cur
rants at distance of six feet apart Of these
last cuttings may now be taken and planted in a
warm border, ready tie set out the following au
tumn the succeeding spring.
Standardization off the beds and top dress
literally with well rotted manure and wood ashes.
