The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1884-11-08

Farmer suggests the following garden work for
this month: By
Winter Spinach, Corn Salad aud Winter Kale.
See that all these free from grass and weed g.
the soil light and stirred with the rake. The
plants must stand four inches apart, each way, in
| the beds, which should be four feet wide.
| Asparagus Beds.-Cut down the haulm and
burn it. Fork the bed over lightly, and free it
| from grass and weeds, then cover with rather
coarse manure. A liberal spread of salt and some
| wood ashes may be also given, or at any time
| during winter early in the spring. Now and
again, in March would not hurt-it loves salt and
potash.
Celery.-Attend we'll to celery; earth it up for
| blanching.
| Endir.s.-The same as to celery pursue
| with the endive.
small Satading.-Sow small saladng in frames
/ for winter use.
Raspbe,ry Roots may still be planted. 3
Cuttings IF Gooseberries, Carranfs. Grapes, etc.
| Cuttings of these will strike well if planted in a
| warm situation and protected from the sun TO-
| few days. Plant the cuttings up to one eye IN
| rows eighteen inches apart and the cuttingssix
| inches apart in the rows. Those that take rot
| should remain kept free from weeds. until next
| autumn, when they can be taken up and trimmed
and planted where they are to stand permanently.
Winter Cabbnges.-.1ake these up and bury
| them or set in rows close together and build
fodder house them. with door Mt one end.
Destroy all weeds, and work up the vacant beds
| by deep spading. Sow agricultural salt at the
| rate of bushels per acre over the newly spadeo
| BEDS and give them heavy dressing Of manure
Leave in the rough state until wanted in spring.
| The frost and the manure will dissolve all stiff
| clods and hard cayey bed will become pulverized
by spring like to ash heap. BY this fall work,
| labor will be saved next year, and product OBJ
| az fran tartar nf IN
| old system would require an acre or more.
The Maryland Central Road The Har-
| ford Democrat. of which Mr. Joseph NJ. Street, is
the editor who is also one Of the directors of the
| MARYLAND Central Company in his issue OF last
week says: Gas is well known, when the road
| reached Delta all the companys securities were
| either sold or hypothetical and there remained
| nnprovided for about 500 600 of floating debt,
| incurred in the construction of the road. Since
| that time the company has been required to ex-
| pend large sums of money for sidings, station
| houses, workshops and other improvements and
the purcha> of new engines and cars, made neces-
sary for the economical and successful working of
the road Since that time it has bad no receipts
except from the earnings of the road and a few
| thousand dollars advanced by directors. To pay
| all this indebtedness and the expense OF operating
| the road with the means at the command of the
company, was found impossible without further
| time from the creditors. This many of them were
unwilling to give, and in order to get this time
and prevent the costs Of vexatious litigation, the
management of the road was placed in the hands
| of a receiver.
"The reason for selecting Major Wrenschall was
| twofoId: First, for his commanding and recog-
| nized ability an engineer and railroad mana
GER and secondly, for his strong faith in the future
| of the road From the inception of the enterprise
he has been the consulting engineer OF the road,
| and has made frequent examinations OF the road
bed, rolling stock and other pertainings, and it is
| believed knows the needs of the road and the
| means to be employed to develop its future -
| With this knowledge, his strict business habits
| and the personal attention and supervision he
| will give all the departments, coupled with the
| fact that the road is valuable property, WORTH
all the money that was spent it, with plenty of
business along its line there are many reasons for
believing that in few years il will be able to pay
| the interest its bonded debt and discharge the
| overdue obligations incurred in its construction"
Big Shipments of Canned Goods, &C.
| The Delta Herald of last week says: "NOw that
the canning season has closed packers are making
| shipments and figuring on profts. Last week the
Northern Hartford Packing Association shipped
% car loads of tomatoes and corn. chiefly the lat
| ter, and have also been making large shipments
this week. The prices realized for corn have been
good, from to 10 cents dozen better than the
| common market; gratifying result of the excel
lent reputation acquired by he standard Red Seal
brand. The outlook is much brighter than few
| months ago. The diminished pack throughout
nearly all parts of the country must have very
| appreciable influence in stifening prices. The
pack of corn by the Northern Hartford Packing
Association has been about the same last year.
| perhaps per cent. greater. The pack of toma
toes has been only about As so per cent. OF last
wears pack. While some sections have this year
done better than this, others have not done go
| we'll. There is an impression, apparently well
| ndad nj pripea will he muph hivher hpfOre
| next summer. A representative business man OF
Baltimore city. closely connected with the canned
goods trade thinks that by the l@t of next March
tomatoes will sell for 80 cents dozen, and before
July they will reach sl.25."
A Fine Church.-St. Johns Lutheran church,
| Frederick road. Rev. AR. Kirschmann, pastor,

| sides regulating the hands on each OF the four

Arlington vs.. Glide The which took
| place at Herring Run on Monday afternoon last,
for purse of S2O0-frst hor.e $3.50 and the
| second $50, between Harry Arlington and Glide,
| was wen by the latter in three straight heats-
time, 231, 2:32! and 2334 The attendance Of
the friends of the respective horses was large, and
before the start the betting was 10 to 3 in favor
| Of Arlington, but after the first heat the odds
| were in favor of Glide The hackers of Airing
ton were disappointed at the result, from the fact
| that at Timonum, but few weeks ago, on n half
| mile track he had beaten GIide-the time being
2:3O. 1t has always been claimed that Arlington
| could show more speed on a mile track than he
| could half mile, but the result OF Mondays
race tells a different story. The horses were
driven by their owners.
