Enterprise.
Look here brother Enterprise, where is
your observation. Have you not seen from
the press that the petition referred to has long
since been forwarded to the proper railroad
No special action, however, SO
far as We have learned, has been taken upon
it. Great bodies. it has been said, move
slowly and so with railroad companies. The
best thing tc be done is for the press Of South,
ern Maryland to let go broad side shot
into the company AMI keep up the fusilade

Keenlng Fruit and yegetnhIes.

1t is surely as much consequence, says
Mirror and Farmer, to know how to keep
fruits and vegetables as it is to know how to
produce them, and yearly more and more
thought md attention are bestowed on the
subject Of their preservation. 1t appears that
experiments in France have shown that fruits
and vegetables stored under ordinary condi
tons, but heavily busted with lime, will re-
sist decay for long time. Potatoes layered
in lime kept for fourteen months, and were in
as good condition as when dug. Beets, onions,
apples, grapes and ounces similarly treated
Kept well for varying periods but all for sew
en- months longer than they would have done
ordinarily. The lime keeps away moisture,
prevents the fruit from absorbing unpleasant
odCrs and destroys any microbes that may
have found resting place upon the skin or
around the stem. This is II preventive within
seaeh of all, and much cheaper than cold
storage

What is Farming.

Under the above caption an exchange
saws: 1t i; something more than laying on a
farm. 1t is something more than skimming
the soil. 1t is more than selling hay or po-
tatoes, and bulk crops unanimaized. Farm
inP is a business, profession, practical and
scientific operation. The process Of nature
must he understood, aLd worked in harmony
with the chemistry Of the ear III and air. The
processes of nature must be understood, if not
in their technical terms and language, in that
common way, in that sensible understanding
that common sense way, that their oNn adj
vantage and capabilities may be turned to the
best account. The lawyer works by law and
precedent the physician works by symptoms
and indications, the merchant ny rules and
observation, the mechanic by measures and
capacities. The farmer mus; work by abby
rules. observation, and eyper ment. lie must
be a skllfu workman in the prolacuise, ope-
rative and commercial circles in which bis
business lies and bis sphere of circulation ex-
tends.
