Why The Tree Agent Was Sad

Ouo cuJuuSldSlIC AGENT i've got
list of novelties no enter prisiDg
wide.awak farmer can afford tC
do without
Slew YEP asked the honest tiIler
of the soil, as strange glitter
crept into his eyes.
Yes, SIT. | can sell you the pie
plant from which yOI can grow
miDce, custard, lemon, cream Ol
or any other kind of pie while you
wait. It is mighty Convenient
plant to have around, because one
never knows what minute a lot oi
unexpected company may come,
and even the best OF families are
sometimes caught without a lie in
the house,
i guess you're right said the
old farmer.
Aud havehe an illustration
showing a new and wonderful var.
iety of straw berry plants. the pol
len OF which has been crossed with
the finest grades of ofpulverized su-
gar and winter wheat -four, thus
producing the completed shOrtrake
already for the table. The picture,
as you see, is very attractive, but
it does the subject nowhere near
Justice
'Hev you got a sample of the
cake with ye' asked the conhdlng
farmer.
IS Sirry, but | jnst gave the las'
piece to "a man | met half a mile
down the road, and to whom 1
sold large number of the plants,
As he is going to open restaurant
next spring. But continued the
agent, here are other things equal

sell you the egg plants that will
produce chickens. ducks, geese,
turkeys and all sorts of fowls. |
have bird seed IRON which you can
grow everything from humming
birds to bald eagles
'All from the same lot of seed!
Inquired the farmer.
On Yes, to be sure answered
the agent. ITS mixed bird seed,
yOn see. And | have horse chest
nuts that will produce a livery
stable in ninety days, and plum
and apple trees that yield all abnn
dance of pudding and dumplings
all ready to be eaten. | have al
so variety of peach tree that was
budded with preparation Of

the peaches all put IN cans, ready
for winter use.'
well, I'll jest be hanged ei
that amt an idee.' said the listener

he added.
'Well, no; I'll not deceive you,
said the Agent, by saying there ls
but we hope soon to remedy that
defect
wal, let me tell ye stranger, 4,
said the honest Old farmer, 'ye're
way behind the times. The last
agent that was here had the ready
canned peach trees and with every
can there'd be a can opener, a cork
screw, a penci.sharpener aud n
st stump.pulIer. No can.opener, ehi
Well, ! can't buy of you, cause 1
don't want my neighbors to know

SAID: 'Hennie, let Tige out of the
barn. He hasn't had nothing tC

Moral: Buy trees direct OF the
legitimate nurseryman- Most o
the money you pay tree agents wht
call upon you goes TO pay tht
agents expenses. Thl 8 is why yol
buy 80 much cheaper when you
buy direct of the nurseryman who
grows then.

URBAN vs.. RURAL LIFE.

In discussing the concentration of popu.
lation into cities and towns the San Fran.
cisco Examiner takes the opposite side Of
the question from that usually taken by the
press. 1t contends that If people leave the
country for the city, IL is for some good rea-
son. They prefer 1t because life in the city
is more agreeable and living can be made
with less work. There are plenty of people
still living In the country, it adds, TO pro-
duce more than enough food for the whole
population, urban and rural, to consume.
This is a narrow view 10 take of the matter.
ln the cities the ranks in every occupation
are overcrowded, and there is fierce strug.
gle for employment and for bread. The life
in the crowded districts of the city is surely
not as healthy as in the pure air and un.
confined space of the country.
When the man of small means goes TO the
country he does not necessarily go TO in.
crease the amount of food offered in the
markets. Ten acres of land well cultivated
will afford comfortable home for a family
and all the food they can consume and food
of the best and most wholesome quality.
Besides this, surplus products, such as meat,
poultry, butter and eggs or vegetables, cuff
cient To buy clothes and such other neces.
saries as cannot be produced on the land
will be for sale. If a great many people are
living on small tracts, they will be clos
together, and that will add social features,
the absence of which is really what makes
country life unpopular, especially with wo-
men.
AS the electric roads stretch from the
cities further and further into the country
perhaps the subdivision of land will be pro-
noted, and, with the good wagon roads
which the bicyclers are insisting upon, in.
accommodation among country people
will be easier, and then the tide may be
turned from the city to the country. Here
in Maryland, where land is so cheap, a
small country home can be procured for a
very small sum. People who never lived
in the country cannot understand the peace
which comes from the absence of monthly
rent bills and weekly market bills, from an
abundance of good food for the family and
from the greater leisure for mental improve
ment and intellectual pleasures.

The Maryland State Senate, during the

attract the attention of every State in the
Union to an extent entirely unknown In its
history since the days when the question OF
secession confronted our people. The Sen

10 Senator Charles II. Gibson, and the Sen
ate of two years hence will vote on a sue
cessor TO Senator German. This body con
sists of twenty six members elected to serve
for four years. or the hold.oye Senators
nine are Democrats and three Republicans.
In order to control the Senate and be able
70 confirm or reject executive appointments
The Republicans must elect eleven Senators
this fall, and the Democrats, counting Mr.
Crothers as still a member, must elect five
new Senators. The House of Delegates is
composed of ninety one members, all of

THE SITUATION.

We have endeavored in various ways to
place before our readers the true issues in
the present State campaign. That 1t has
been up to this time one of unusual vigor
and interest cannot be denied. The stu
alton is daily growing more favorable for
the Democratic party, and the result is al
ready ioreshadowed. The following from
an exchange presents in forcble terms some
of the features of the contest:
AS this Safe has by the free choice of the
people been governed through the instru-
mentality OF the Democratic party for
long period of time its continuance in power
would not likely bring about radical changes
and Its record has been fully made up to
date
1t is composed of party which has here
tofore engaged the sympathy and support
Of at least $4,000 majority of the white
voters Of the State and Of course has within
its ranks vast majority of those having the
greatest interest in the peace and good order
of the Commonwealth.
This party 80 constituted and composed,
has administered the State government with
undisputed integrity and economy. The
people have been peaceful and so prosper
GUS that the State has made steady increase
In wealth, and general Improvement has
marked its career, until now the State debt
has been practically wiped out. Yet we
have all the essential charitea,,ss ..aa edGca
tional institutions likely to be needed for
many years and the necessary penal estab-
lishments such as the Penitentiary and
House OF Correction constructed and fully
paid for.
Our system Of the public schools, the most
important arm of the public service, has
been maintained and supported with such
steady and healthy improvement that at
this time IL ranks second to no State In the
Union-and all this Notwithstanding we
have in our State an incubus of over 300, 600
colored people who are practically non-pro'
ducers and certainly non taxpayers, who
absorb more than one fourth OF all the taxes
levied for public schools and who cause
directly or indirectly one half the cost OF the
administration Of criminal justice through
out the State.
