Lord Lowndes. Governor of Maryland,

company with Comptroller Colds
borough, attended the races at the Driy-

people there, and Mr.. Lowndes made
himself very conspicuous by ascending
to the grand stand, where all could view
him, but if there was one hand clap for
him we have not seen the person who
heard it, If there was one cheer or
hurrah for Maryland's Chief Magistrate,
1t was so suppressed as To be inaudible.
Yet it was an occasion upon which the
people Were in a rejoicing mood. an
occasion upon which any high public
official who merited and enjoyed the
esteem of the people would have received
an ovation whose reverbating echos
would have drowned the hoarse notes
of the big drum or hushed even the
booming of canon

For the Farmer.

If good celery is desired water the
plants with soapsuds and keep the
ground clean of grass and weeds. The
watering of Il large crop with soapsuds
is impracticable, but where one has
small planting i'll garden and will give
five or ten minutes work to the plants
twice or three times a week the results
will be very gratifying, as something
better than the average may be secured.
Soapsuds make special fertilizer for
celery.
If farmers will make it a rule TO send
only the best to market they will get
more money for one half their crops
When the markets are well supplied
only the best will sell. Not only should
the articles be selected, but they should
be uniform-of the same quality at thm
bottom of basket as at the top. InsteaL1.
of reducing the prices of potatoes by
sending the very small ones To market
keep those that are unstable and feed
them on the farm and they will then
be more valuable.
The amount of water required for
crop is enormous. Ii is said that a crop
of corn requires IL inches of water
during the growing season. a large
portion of which comes from below,
having been stored in the soil during
the winter and spring. Every pound of
dry matter in wheat requires 300 pounds
of water for its production. Corn re-
quires $50 pounds of water for every
pound of dry matter and oats 500 pounds.
But for the large amount of water
stored i'll the soil and made available
for plants during the growing season
there would be deficiency in the supply
if rains We're the only source of obtain
ing moisture.
The local markets should receive more
attention Produce is shipped to large
cities at a cost of transportation and
charges for selling by the commission
merchant. and sometimes only a small
profit TO the producer, while better
prices can often be obtained nearer
home This season it was noticed that
when strawberries were selling i'll New
York and Philadelphia al four cents per
box consumers i'll the towns nearest to-
the strawberry beds were PAVING eight
and ten cents. In one town store not
a hundred yards from the depot from
which Strawberries were being shipped
rctailed the berries at ten cents, while
the same grower from whom they
were obtained received only three cents
from the commission merchant.

FOR FIVE COMMISSIONERS

the county redistricted into five COM
missioners districts. We believe the
plan is a good one. This writer has
been a believer in as large a represen-

sistent with economy, and we are
therefore glad that a movement has
been startedto increase the number of
commissioners. With five commits
sioners the people will have more di-
rect representation from the various
portions of the county, and business
may be thel eby dispatched more rap

beautiful tribute to one of Company
