President Robert W. Sylvester, Of the Mary

To farmers clu,s oranges and kindred organ
ilatlons, asking that delegations from all
parts of the state meet in Baltimore at an
early date, to formulate IL plan of holding a
farmers institute in Annapolis, during the
month OF January, rs an object lesson of what
would be gained by such an agency The
reason assigned by President Sylvester is the
depressed coalition of agriculture. nos only
i'll Matyland, but throughout the entire
country. He suggests that those interested
in this calling should begin to look about for
the cause tending to produce so unnatural a
condition of things. He states that the
college and experiment station are doing all
they can for the profession, and in other
states the farmers institutes are doing u
wonderful work among practical agriculturist
He thinks the work is imperiectly understood
Maryland, and he with others, is anxious
to have the incoming legislature establish Il
department of farmers institutes for the
furtherance of the agricultural interests of

In George washinrton.s Arms.

In DR.. Mines volume of reminis-
cences, " A Tour Around New York. "
the author devotes a paragraph to the
attractions of Battery park and adds a
pleasing little story of time before his
own:
remember a dear old lady who
loved to talk about this park and tell of
the people she had met here and the
scenes she had witnessed, and of these
one man and one mornings adventure
stood out most prominent.
A little thing in white, her nurse had
brought her to the park to witness a
civic ceremony, and the crowd prevent
ed her from obtaining a good view of
the pageant.
AS with a child's impatience che tried
to press through the throng tall and
handsome elderly gentleman, clad in
suit of black velvet and with dress
sword at his side, stopped down to her,
inquired pleasantly about her trouble
and then lifted her upon his shoulder
and held her there until the procession
had passed.
Delighted with what she saw, the
child thought little about the gentleman
who had brushed away her trouble, but
thanked him when he released her with
kiss and set her down upon the ground.
As he moved away the nurse in an awe
struck voice asked the child if she knew
whose arms had held her and then told
her that it was President Washington.
The little eyes watched him out of sight
and never forgot his stately appearance.
think dear old Mrs. Atterbury was
prouder of having been the heroine of
this incident than of all the social hon.
ors that afterward fell to her lot

maine burns more firewOod to keep
warm winters than any other eastern
state, says Maine man who has been
IN the business. The wood is of better
quality and makes better ashes than can
pe collected in Massachusetts or New
Hampshire, and there's sharp demand
ior Maine ashes in the middle and
southern states for agricultural pur-
poses. Great quantities are used in
Massachusetts also. There are a num-
per OF dealers in Boston who make a
business of collecting ashes through
maine for shipment. Carloads and car
loads OF them go out of the state by rail
yearly and shiploads are sent to Florida
ana Georgia, where they want the best
hard wood article. They send north phos-
pnate rock, and we send them ashes,
and the trade is benefit to both sec
TONS
mere are some parts Of Maine de-
nominated prime by the dealers, be-
cause they are in hard wood, maple and
Dlrcn regions and do not burn much soft
wood. In some of these localities there
Is sharp competition in the business.
Leached ashes from the potash and soap
factories used to be shipped mostly, but
they've gone out, and dry ashes are
wanted. So much is this the case that
one potash man knew, dishonest fell
low, dried his leached ashes and shipped
them as unleached. The potashes and
local soap factories of Maine are run
under by the demand for dry ashes and
are going out of business. Probably the
day IS not far distant when dealers in
Portland, Bangor and other Maine
towns will look after this trade and do
the shipping direct from Maine ports to
the southern states. There is a large
profit in it, if l am not mistaken. -
