AN association. of farmers in Kent
county on the eastern shore of Mary
land, sent a committee to investigate
the profits OF market gardening, or
iruck-farming, as the phrase is in
Lancaster county, Pa. The commit
tee returned TO report having seen one
farm OF eighty acres, from half OF
which n market gardener sold yearly
SIC. 600 worth of fruits and vegetables,
and another farm OF twenty acres that
yields a gross sum of $4,000 per
year Another market gardener had a
profit of 50. yearly from six acres,
still another sells from sl5, 600 to S20,-
COZ worth OF products from ninety
acres. The committee urges the men,
bers OF the association togive up peach
culture and take 10 market gardening.
such a change of policy means almost
a social revolution in community Of
aristocratic tradition, where lands
have been long in family possessions
and where land holding is badge Of
respectability. IL means the substitu-
ton Of small culture for large hold
inRs, because few land owners have
sufficient capital to undertake market
gardening on a great scale.

wAsHlNeToN's BIRTHPLACE.

The Government Improving and Making
Accessible a Historical Spot.
A contract has been awarded for the
erection of $4,000 wharf on the Poto-
mac river, near Wakefield, Westmore-
land county, Va, General George Wash
ington's birthplace, and the steamer Sue
will probably make it a landing place.
The house in which Washington was
born was destroyed by fire during his
boyhood, but in 1916 stone with suit
able inscription was placed on the spot
by George Washington Parke Gusts. 1t
was while living at Wakefield that Wash
ington attended the neighboring schools,
where instruction did not go further
than reading, writing and spelling, with
the addition, which must have been
somewhat exceptional, of bookkeeping
and surveying.
In after years, while Washington was
surveying the vast estates of Lord Fair
fax, the birthplace was burned, and the
family moved on the Rappahannock riv-
er, near Fredericksburg. The new wharf
will be built by the government as a
means of access to theruins of the burned
house, and congress is to mark the place
with a monument. A steamboat land
ing will make the historical spot, now
somewhat difficult to reach, of easy ac-
cess for tourists. Baltimore American.

A BRAVE WOMAN.
How She Rescued Her Husband From the
Vengeance of Puma.

HOW She Rescued Her Husband From the
Vengeance of a Puma.
Jabez English, a sheep herder Of this
neighborhood, was engaged in building
a cabin home, his former one having
been destroyed by fire a week or two
ago, and was busily at work on its roof
when he saw an animal steal out of the
woods hard by and fling itself upon the
pail containing his dinner of cold boiled
bacon and bread.
He recognized this animal as puma,
or mountain lion, but thinking he might
brighten it away threw his plane at it.
The tool struck the animal on the head,
cutting it badly and rendering the crea-
ture furious. It rushed at the structure
on the peak Of which the herder sat and
tried to leap up to him. But this was
not to be done, and after several at
tempts the lion abandoned it and pro-
ceeded to patrol the spot. growing furi-
ously and showing its teeth.
The man, having no weapon and being
out of reach Of any one to whom he might
call, could only sit still and wait for the
puma to become tired Of the watch or
for deliverance. Night at last came on,
and still he did not dare venture to quit
his perch, though it was so cold that he
feared that he would freeze before morn
ing. In the meantime his wife, who was
in Santa Anna, little mountain hamlet
of the valley, grew uneasy about him,
and with a lantern started to look for
him. 1t was too dark for English to see
her h11t the lion did and made for her
with q scream of rage.
AS the great beast came leaping at her
out of the darkness she dashed the Ian
tern full in its face The puma, startled,
gave way, and English, guessing who the
newcomer was, shouted to her to run
back to the village. She turned to do so,
but the puma was after her, and she was
obliged to wheel about every few feet
and shake the lantern in its face again.
The animal would recoil at this, and each
time gave her few moments to run on.
In this way she made her way to Santa
Anna, screaming as she neared it, ga
lionl lion" until some of the men Of
the village, hearing her, armed them
selves and came out in time to see the
lion break away to run back. They pur-
sued him and killed him and then went
on for the half frozen herdeB His wife,
bright eyed, chatty little Me- tan wom-
an, claimed the skin of the puma, saying
that it was rightly hers as she alone had
brought the lion into the village, and it
was presented to her for the new home
