MARYLAND TOBACCO.
The M ain Causes Orfss L.ssened Pro-
ductfOR

Tobacco. until the late war, was
produced in all the counties of the
Eastern Shore Since the abolition
OF slavery, however, the cultiva ton
ct tobacco has been given up entirely
on that shore, and in 1899 only one
acre, yielding fiiGy pounds, was re
ported, although in 1S49 over eight
million pounds bad been raised in
Queen Anne's alone. The production
OF tobacco is now confined almost eX-
clusively to the southern counties.
The Maryland tobacco is stI ictly an
export tobacco, and goes principally
TO Holland, France and GERMANY
Maryland'S tobacco trade is not
what it once was. Other tObaccOs
have come into com ,etition with it.,
and he price has ruled low OF late
years. Worse than al, the tobacco
lands, like the oyster beds, have de-
tolerated, modes of cultivation have
become careless, the handling is
wasteful and shiftless. Maryland has
lost so per cent in her acreage of to
bacco, while there is no reason why,
with skill and fostering care, a tobac-
co could not be produced which would
meet the demands of the market, land
bring back the prosperity of the to-
bacco growing section of that State.
The decrease in the five southern
counties of the Western Shore in to-
bacco has been in a measure compen-
stated for by an increase in truck
farming

ArIf6Rfai RHhhRH

The manufacture of caoutchouc, or
rubber, from cottonseed oil is said to
have attained considerable proper
tions in this country, the process of
an English inventor being used.
Large quantities of the oil are en-
ployed to produce a substitute that
costs about seven cents a pound.
Some Is per ce1lt of this is mixed
with genuine rubber in making vari-
Gus kinds of rubber goods. One way
to make artificial rubber is to boil
linseed oil for twenty-four hours till
it gets thick, and then boil it some
hours longer with dilute nitric acid.
A plastic mass is produced which
hardens on exposure to the air. After
hardening it can be again softened
by dipping into boil ng water. In
the same way cottonseed oil can be
oxidized by nitric acid, with like re-
suits.

Industrial Matters in the South.

\ review of Industrial matters in
the Southern States during the week
ending August % is very gratifying
indeed to the friends of this favored
section. While the unsettled condl-
ton of money matters continues to
annoy the country generally, and
capital is wary Of new Investments,
yet considerable number of new in:
dustrial companies have been formed
in the South. Some important es-
tablished concerns have also decided
on engagements. Some plants have
found it necessary to shut down, but
the number is very small A consid
cradle number of new saw and PLAN
ing mills are reported: and some fac
tories that were destroyed by fire are
to be rebuilt at once. The Balti-
more Manufacturers Record in it's
Construct Department publishes
a list of the new companies.

The Shad.

In some respects the shad is the
most remarkable of domesticated
animals, for it is the only one which
man has yet learned to rear and send
out into the ocean in great focks and
herds to pasture upon it's abundance
and to come back fat and nutritious
to the place from which it was sent
out. From this point of view the
maintenance of the shad fishery by
man by the use of artificial means for
Matching and propagation is one of
the most notable triumphs of human
intelligence over nature. And the
fish travel immense distances to
reach their spawning grounds. The
total length OF the journey, which is
made without food, is often to the
rivers and back, over one thousand
miles.

A Pertinent question.
From the Wilmington Star

From the Wilmington Star
Why shouldn't Western North Car
lima become great stOck-raising and
dairying section? Where there is an
abundance of iced at nominal cost
an abundance of pure water in the
mountain streams, and where the
climate is so mild that stock need but
little housing in the winter, and in
summer have always the protection
of forest growth, while there are few
insects to worry them, the conditions
of success are all met. 1t should be,
will be some day, and why it has not
become so already is simply because
the people of that section do not full
ly appreciate their opportunities to
engage in an industry by which peo-
pie living in less favored sections are
growing rich,

Better Roads.

Better roads will increase the mar
ket value of all farms lying in the
neighborhood where the improve
ment is made, and indirectly increase
the value of farming lands at a dis
tance. They will increase the carry
ing power of wagons, economic the
drawing power or horses, and thus
render fewer horses necessary, save
harness, wagons, help.and numerous
incidental expenses which bad roads
entail.

The Source of Wealth.

IS6V. InOS, DlXOn, IT.
The community is the source OF
wealth. The essence of wealth is in
the community which gives it birth,
and therefore any use of money
which does not advance the interests
of the community which gives it val
ne is a violation of the fundamental
principles of true business. A man
who grows rich in money should re-
cognize the fact that the value of his
money comes from the country in
which it is made.

Exc / ing Time at a Baptizing.

Up on Stony Fork recently
while the ministers were engaged in
the solemn ceremony of immersing
several pesrons, one lady who got too
near the edge OF the creek fell in where
it was pretty deep and got wet all over.
This so excited one of the candidates
for baptism, a young lady, that she
tainted. Her best fellow was there, and
he took a notion that his girl was
about to die. The doctor was on the
other side of the creek. Not waiting to
go down by the foOt-log, the young man
plunged into the creek up to his waist,
waded over and carried the doctor
back on his shoulders. The girl soon
revived and a pleasant smile ran over
the young mans face, although his
were not very dry.
