Inspecting Fruit Trees in Maryland.

Maryland has a law requiring the
horticulturist of the state experiment
station to inspect all nurseries in the
state once year and oftener. if neces-
sary. This law prohibits the sale of
trees or plants in that state unless
they bear certificates of the inspector
that they are free from disease and in
sect pests. Bulletin AZ. of the Mary
land station, is report of the first
years operations under that law. If
copies of this bulletin were placed in
the hands of the members of the leg
islatures of the several states, it is
probable that every state in the Union
would soon have similar law.
The law requires the inspector to give
directions for the destruction of any
disease or pest found in or on nursery
stock, and if the owner does not
promptly apply the same, the inspector
is empowered and required to enter
the premises. and apply the remedy at
the owners expense. The penalty for
shipping out stock, without the inspec-
tors certificate is a fine of 500 for each
tree, vine. shrub or plant so shipped.
All nursery stock shipped into the
state without the inspectors certificate
shall be returned TO the shipper by the
receiver, and if not so returned, shall
be seized and burned by the inspector
The bulletin gives the full text of
the law According to its requirements,
some 3.00O 900 trees and vines have been
inspected.
The San Jose scale was found in
three nurseries and subsequent in
spection showed that it had been care
fully destroyed. This most dreaded
of all orchard pests was also found in
a number of orchards. and about 5000
infested orchard trees We're dug out
and destroyed. In one case a large
shipment of peach buds received by a
nurseryman from another state were
found to be infested by this scale, and
had they been used for budding they
would have sent this pest broadcast
over the state
The woclly apple-root louise was
found in several nurseries, and the in
tested trees were destroyed. The
peach-tree borer was also found in
many nurseries and destroyed
In many cases perfectly healthy and
vigorous trees were found in the midst
OF the infested blocks. with diseased
trees thick on every side.
Finally. it is believed that one years
operation of this law has completely
freed Maryland nurseries from diseases

Marketing Produce.

Marketing Produce.
Rev. William Lippincott. of Fellow
ship. in referring 10 the marketing of
produce in recent farmers institute
in New Jersey, said:
1t has been asserted that farm prop
erty has deprecated largely in late
years, and the depression still goes
steadily on. There is also depreciation
in city property. which is attested to
by the real estate men in the metro
politan cities. Your condition as farm
ers is no worse, and probably not as
bad, as the people who are today risk
ing their money in stock Let bust
ness resume, and you will find a
changed condition in the markets that
viii astonish you. Start the mills, and
you, as farmers, will have the demand
for your produce. Prosperity will
spring up in an hour, but. with this
restored confidence, we are looking for
the era of contentment and prosperity
The markets are practically not open
to the farmer. Citizens, join together
and open markets and make them pay
ing Institutions. Let the farmers estab-
lish markets and cooperate and they
will meet with success.
Hucksters are a menace to farmers;
their profits are astonishing, and by
dipping the public with a poor article
they destroy the confidence reposed in
the farmer, who is always at fault, and
many spend their money in riotous
living.
The people will always appreciate a
good article. but you must never de-
ceive your patrons. or else you will
wonder at the gradual decrease in bust
ness. A great secret in farming is to
have a revenue the entire year; but
how often we glance over the barren
fields, with every vestige of vegetable
life extinct, and about the only green
thing we see is the dilatory farmer be-
moaning his i'll success. but making no
effort TO remedy matters.
Farmers have been injured severely
by the credit system, and have gone
from bad to worse by launching out
with nominal funds on scale they are
unable TO maintain.

resolution to amend the constitu- ton of the United States so as to have senators elected by direct vote of the people has been favorably report ed by Senator Mitchell. It should pass both houses of congress and be sub mitted to the several states for ratifi- cation. If any argument is needed in favor it can be found in the Kentucky object lesson of which a new feature was presented almost daily. Similar deadlocks have occurred in several other states the past few years result ing in fru.tless efforts to name a senator. Our present plan of electing senators is unsat- isfactory. Let us find a better way to do this business. Senators, like members of the house, should come directly from the people they are supposed to serve and no harm to the government would come from shorten ing their term of office.

FUTILE OPPOSITION.
No Necessity to Oppose Admission on
 Monetary Grounds.

Denver Republican: The opposi- tion to the admission of New Mexico and Arizona on the ground that they would send silver senators to Wash ington is not only wrong in principle, but it is futile as matter of practical politics. The silver forces already have a majoritI in the senate and it is probable that they will retain it whether the territories are admitted or not. The admission of New Mexico and Arizona would probably increase the strength of the silver force in the senate, but it would not turn the scales of power from one side to the other control being already with the silver men. It looks not a little like vindict- iveness for the goldites to oppose the admission of the proposed states un- der these circumstancs.

New York Commercial Advertiser; The Ohio legislature is authority for the opinion that the beautiful bird, the American eagle. is a song bird. A bill intended to protect the song birds from destruction was amended so as to include the American eagle.
 That this proud bird can scream on occasion is well known. That he is much given ito spreading his wings and uttering shrieks of defiance and az gression, the British constantly as sert. It has not been thought, how ever, that he could be chased among the sweet singers that throag the woods and make the summer air mus ieal.
 Of his war songs the public has heard a good deal recently. He spread his wings and screamed when England attempted to crowd little Venezuela and again when Spain sent her blood jest captain to direct the war against the struggling patriots of Cuba. Yet that he can coo as sweetly as any dove is proved by the gentle and soothing notes which he ubters when MT.
