The Maryland Census.

The official census OF Mary land recently
issued by the Census Bureau contains an
interesting and suggestive array of facts.
1t appears that the entire population OF
the state is 1,040. Adj, having increased
from 3I9 72S since 1870. For the last ten
years the growth has been los, ASS or
II.2S per cent, which is the lowest per
| centage of increase since 1910, when it
was 5. IA per cent.
Rather remarkable fact is shown by
separating the tables of Baltimore City
from those of the entire state. For in
stance, Baltimore has added to its popu
lation I0I, S35 persons during the decade,
while the whole state has grown only by
I05, 4SS, leaving about 000 as the actual
multiplication of people in the Mary land
counties. When now the fact is con-
sidered that Ha serstowa, Cum oerIand,
Oakland and Annapolis have increased
by percentages ranging from 10 to 80 per
cent, it is seen that the population must
have decreased considerably in some of
the rural communities.
By looking at those counties which
havenot large and growing to Sns in them
we find this to have been the oIse. C,l
vert county has nearly 1000 less people
than ten years ego, Caroline county has
some 200 less, Cecil nearly 2, 1000 less and
Worcester more than 3 900 less. This
shows, upon the basis that the figures
are correct, that there has been a large
influx of population from the country to
the cities, and suggests that emigration
to the South and West has told measur-
ably upon the population of the state.
At one time it was feared that the
census would exhibit such falling off in
numbers that it would affect the Congrts
sional representation as we'll as that of
the House of Delegates at Annapolis
But fortunately both stand at the old
figures. Maryland will still have six
Representatives at Washington, and the
Lower House of the Legisla ure remains
as before, except that Allegany county
gains one Delegate and Charles county
loses ole.
IJ may be that an absolutely correct
census would modify these figures to
some extent. But the inference is that
such an enumeration would show still
larger gains in the cities. and make con-
trasts even greaer than they now appear.
Moreover, it would probably emphasize
problem, wherein it is seen that young
men are fleeing from agriculture and
seeking their fortunes in clerical or pro.
fessional positions, or are wearing their
lives out in machine shops and factories.-

Teaching q Horse to Pace.

E. T. W., Morton, Ill.-Please
inform me hoy to teach . horse to
pace. I have : pony that would
pace when he was sucking colt,
but has not since. Do you think if
I were TO weight one of her fore
feet and the opposite hind foot it
would be of any advantage?
REPLY. Forty or fifty years ago
almost every farmer's boy in Ohio,
Kentucky and Southern Indiana
considered it Indispensable that he
should have a pacing saddle horse,
and nearly every colt that would not
pace naturally was forthwith taught
to assume that gait. This was done
by the use of ''hobbles." A strap
was buckled around each fore leg
and connected with the hind leg on
the same side, so that when the
colt was forced to move he could
make but little progress without
moving the fore leg and the hind
leg on the same side at the same
time. These hobbies should not be
too rigid at first; that is, the colt
should have a little freedom of mo-
ton, but as he becomes accustomed
to them they may be shortened so
that locomotion will be next to i'm
possible excepting by means of the
lateral or pacing gait. By this pro-
cess, patiently and perseveringly
adhered to, almost any colt can be
taught to pace. We have had no
experience with the system of
weighing suggested by our CORES.

Millet for Cattle.

Corn is generally considered the
best feed for cattle for the market,
but a large farmer in the south part
of the State is authority for the
statement that millet fed cattle
weigh heavier than those fattened
by feeding corn; The gentleman
referred to is a stock buyer as well
as..successful farmer, and he says
that when buying cattle he makes it
q rule to buy without weighing, if
possible, when certain that the
stock has been fed with millet, as
they always weigh heavier than
when fed corn. He ia also of the
opinion that cattle have reached the
lowest possible figure, and that now
is the time to go into the business
of raising cattle.-Ex.

two hundred million dollars worth
of horticultural products, and out oi
this amount Mississippi furnishes
only a little over two or three hun
dred thousand.
Another reason why the increase
of horticultural industry should be
encouraged is because the material
welfare of our State, and the devel-
opment of her resources demand inn
peratively a diversification of indus
try. This can be accomplished in a
great degree by horticulture and
stock-raising.
In the pursuit of horticulture we
find more that is attractive and in
teresting than in any other branch
of agriculture. It is the most per-
feet union of the practical with the
beautiful that is known.
Another reason why horticulture
should be encouraged is because Of
Its direct usefulness Every man
should have an orchard or at least .
tree or two of good fruit. Fruit il
the greatest blessing bestowed by
God on man. It wasgiven to man,
and made beautiful by the Creator,
that he might be tempted to eat it.
The healthfulness of fruit is a fact
known and admitted by all. Speak
ing from experience, if more fruit
was eaten for food instead Of SO
much meat we would have better
health. The famous DR.. Fowler
tells of q man who excelled all his
companions in physical strength yet
this man never ate anything but
fruit and vegetables.
Last but not least why the voca.
ton of horticulture should be en-.
couraged, lis because of the nobleness
of the calling. To the gardner We
owe lasting obligations; for he has
by patient toll caused the forces O
nature to yield to his art. Thus
converting the wild, bitter, un
wholesome berries of the forest into
the fine juicy delicious fruits of the
present. They have also changed
the wild rose into the magnificen
Marechal Neil,' that grows to beau
tify the BONES of the peasant al
we'll as the prince.
Although the horticulturist hal
done much he is still at work, ant
each year we see some additiona
improvement in the varieties of GU
fruits and vegetables.

Truck Farms and Gardens of Mississippi.
BY c. B. GARNER, LowNDEs COUNTY.
To-day horticulture is receiving
much attention by intelligent and
energetic men; and whether pursued
for pleasure or profit, it is a subject
that should be of interest to all, for
1t matters not whether we follow the
profession of lawyer or doctor, the
occupation of merchant or mechanic;
whether we live in the country or
reside in the city, we all expect to
grow fruit and vegetables on either
. limited or extended scale.
The business of growing fruit and
vegetables for Northern markets is
an industry that has grown up
among us since the war. Ten or
fifteen years ago it was in it's en-
bryonic state; now it has grown to
such an extent that it is beginning
to assume some form and proportion.
The people living along the Illinois
Central railrond are those that have
paid the greatest attention to this
business. Along that railroad where
few years ago We saw only small
gardens and diminutive orchards.
we now find large fields of peas, to-
matoes, onions, cabbage, &C.; ex-
tensive orchards of the most i'm
proved varieties of apples, pears,
peaches, and plums; and broad acres
of that delicate and most delicious
Of fruits-the fragrant strawberry.
This business has assumed some
Importance as money crop, for it
brings thousands of dollars into the
State annually. Some idea of the
extent of the industry may be OBJ
tanned by noticing the acreage of
three of the most important towns
on the Illinois Central that have en-
gagged in this business. Crystal
Springs, which is far ahead of the
rest of the stations along this road,
has $500 acres. Some days during
the busy season of the year AS many
as five car loads of fruit and early
vegetables are sent from this place.
Madison Station is the next most i'm
portant town engaged in the horti-
cultural business. In and around
this place there is planted each year
about 1000 acres in fruit and vege-
tables. Madison also has one of
the largest strawberry growers in
the State. Durant comes to the
front in this industry, and has for
sslo each year the produce Of 800,

acres. Bonneville along the Mobile
and Ohio railroad is another poin,
pursuing this occupation to some ex.
tent, for annually fruit and vegeta.
bles from $50 acres 90 to the North.
ern markets.
The rapid growth and extent Of
the business led to the organization
of tho State Horticultural Society
seven years ago, with DR.. II. E.
Mckay as its president. The soci.
ETY. was organized to distribute relia-
BILE information among it's members,
and also to foster the growth of hor-
ticulture in our State. For these
purposes the Society meets twice q
year. At these meetings the best
and cheapest modes of cultivatine
fruits and vegetables are discussed
also the best plans of shipping and
disposing of them.
For many reasons, the business
Of growing fruits and vegetables fol
Northern markets should be encour
aged. First, because of the profit
to be derived from this pursuit
That there is money in horticulture
may be seen by looking at the many
men who have prospered in this bu.
siness. I have in my mind one
man especially, who commenced
this business ten or fifteen years
ago with a few acres of poor hill
land, and to-day he is wealthy, and
owns one of the hest farms in his
county.
The gain in this occupation may
best be seen by comparing the gross
returns from an acre of cotton and
corn with horticultural products
From lands of the same kind We
generally get bale of cotton to three
acres, or about fifteen dollars pei
acre. The same is true for corn
whereas, from an acre of horticultu
raj products (according to letter
received from Mr.. j. w. Day o
Crystal Springs) We get from two
hundred to three hundred dollars
and one from Mr.. j. w. Montgom
cry of Durart, gives four hundred
dollars as the gross returns from al
acre of straw berries. In the ligh
OF these figures, is it any wonde
that the trtie k farmer succeeds? Blu
some will say there is danger of to-
many's eng, ging in this business
