Necessary Elements for a Growing
Town.-An exchange says: Every growing,
ambitious town is composed of three elements.
Those who work periodically, vigorously and
intelligently for its advancement; those who
are in a state of apathy or indifference, and
those who take curious delight i'll discourag-
ing the efforts of others by ridicule, by per
sistent denial that any progress can or has been
accomplished, and by Boosting of every other
town besides their own. The last class are
called croakers, but they are really something
worse, for their opposition does not arise sim
ply from despondency, but from that unenvia-
BILE spirit which will neither act itself nor suf

for some weeks, but not by majority of the
people, and there seems to be no prospect of
changing to dry very soon. We were furnished
on Monday with good-sized deluge, which
has left our roads in far worse condition than
they have been for long time. With the road
fund exhausted and with no prospects of means
to repair them for nearly year, the outlook
is most discouraging. A bridge on the turn
pike was capsized by the flood and the Gun
powder again overflOwed its banks. No won

Farmers are now feeling rather nervous at
the prospect of securing and harvesting the cut

A young man from the city, visiting in this
neighborhood, has made himself the subject of
pretty good joke, Two agents were travelling
through this section selling binders of the
Wood pattern. They met with the city chap

were selling q machine made entirely of wood
except the knives, which were of the old-style
sickle pattern. That showed what he knew
about binders.

How the Hedge Fences are Doing.-The
hedges planted by the Baltimore County Hedge
and Wire Fence Company the past spring are
doing splenddly and by next year they will
have made such a show as to convince the most
skeptical of their entire utility. The plants
are vigorous and grow rapidly and all that is
necessary to be done is to give them proper
care and attention so that they are not injured
by stock. We hope in the next five years to
see hundreds of miles of this improved fence
growing in Baltimore and Hartford counties,
adding beauty to the landscape and value to
the farms. This hedge we hope will solve the
fence problem and in time do away entirely
with the unsightly and expensive wooden
fences that have for ages been load upon the
farmers. A hedge of this kind, once properly
started will last for generations without any
expense further than the usual trimming,
which is done rapidly and at cost so small as
to be not worth considering.
The old hedges that were FLASHED by the Bal
tmore County Company are doing all that was
promised for them and show what can be done
under the new system with the wild and I'M
slightly growths they were before being taken
in hand. On Mr.. Andrew Banks place at
Reisterstown, and on the property of Mr.. James
G. Wilson, on the York road, near Cold Spring,
parts of overgrown old hedges were cut down
and FLASHED and the difference between the
sections treated in this manner and the old
hedges is so marked as to attract the attention
of every one who sees them. The young
shoots, starting from the tops of the canes, are
growing out thick and vigorous and in few
months the FLASHED portions will be so dense
that even chicken could not get through
them. It is indeed wonderful the change that
has been wrought in the old hedges and the
new system needs no better advertisement and
endorsement than these sections OF hedge that
have been treated by it.
