Is Hopeful About Corn.

There was feeling Monday at the
Chamber of Commerce, in spite of the
unfavorable character of the Government
crop report, showing tremendous de-
crease in the yield of corn as compared
with the crop of last year, that there had
been some improvement since the first
of the month and that the outlook was
not so gloomy as it had seemed to be.
Mr.. Blanchard Randall, of the firm of
Gill & Fisher, talked cheerfully about
corn. "You know" said he, that We
have a large surplus of corn still in this
country in farmers hands, amounting to
300, OOO, 900 or 5OO,OOO,OOO bushels and,
with the economies that will be practiced
together with the decreased exports,
expect to see on the first of next March
nearly as much corn in the country as we
usually have at that period of the year.
We will probably have 600, 10000 bushels
on hand then. Present conditions are
abnormal; corn and wheat are only 10
cents apart. Until comparatively recent
" corn has been 40 to 80 cents per
bushel."
Southern white corn sold Monday on
Change at G6 cents per bushel and yellow
was quoted at the same price. The set
Ting price of Western corn for August
delivery was 631 cents. but at the close of
the day it was offered at 60 cents, with
no bid. This latter figure was, however
cents above the close of Saturday. A
car of Western spot sold at 81 cents.
The advance in prices was not equal to
the expectations of many grain men, who
had thought that the gloomy crop report
would send figures soaring.

Farm Apprentices.

The Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station, instead of having all the work in
the dairy and horticultural divisions per-
formed by regular paid laborers, has some
of it performed by apprentices. This
method has been adopted in order to offer
young men with good common school
education and no means to take college
course an opc ortunity to become skilled
in this kind of work. 1t will enable young
farmers to enga &c in some Of the farming
specialties in an intelligent manner. By
having this labor performed by persons
more interested in what they are doing
than in the money they are going to re-
ceive it will give the college and station
nucleus for extending their work and
more appreciative constituency. The ap-
prenticeships are open to farmers sons
and the station will board and room the
apprentice or pay the equivalent in money,
according as desired. A dairy apprentice
is expected to stay six months and hor-
ticultural apprentice one year. The sta
ton will furnish the instruction and facil-
tiles for instruction given in the several
branches pertain ing to the speciality taken
up. The plan is to divide the work which
would ordinarily be performed by one
laborer among three apprentices. Only a
limited number can be accommodated, and
vacancies will be filled in the order in
which they apply.

A Tragic Deed.

Considerable excitement and alarm was
caused in this community last Friday by
killing of Martha Oden, a colored girl 10
years of age on the farm of Mr.. Charles
G.. Bonaparte near here, known as ewes
ton" The perpetrator of the deed was
Henry Boyd, a young colored man, who
was raised in this community and who had
been leading an idle, shiftless life for
several years. 1t appears that be was on
visit to the girl at her fathers house
and when about to leave, from some
inexplicable motive slashed her in the
neck with razor, severing the artreles,
from the effects of which she died early
the next morning.
AS soon as the crime became known,
diligent search was made for Boyd, who
succeeded in eluding the officers until
Sunday afternoon when, overcome by
hunger and fear of being shot by some
of the relatives of his vict M, he sent word
to the Sheriff that he was willing to de-
liver himself up. Sheriff Shea found
him at the point designated and quietly
lodged him in Jail about O'Clock on
Sunday afternoon.
Boyd in Jail made the following state
ment:
81 went Thursday night to the home of
Martha Oden and told her l wanted my
clothing, for intended to quit her. She
replied, You shall either remain with me
or with no one and went into the house
and brought out a knife. She caught me
and attempted to push me down, when l
cut her with razor which l had in my
pocket. She made no attempt to cut me
with the knife she had. had the razor
in my pocket because had that evening
shaved and had put it in my pocket until

in sight of the house for nearly an hour
until Mr. H. T. Ward came and l left. l

An AntidOte for Poison Ivy.

In addition to the aids of the druggists
lotions, nature is said to have provided
most efficient remedy for poison-ivy pois-
oning in the shape of the widely spread
flower known as spotted touch me n OF,
or Inpatens fnlua. 1t is also called the
"iewel weed" and is abundant in the
water courses during June and July,
when the the RhuS toricOdendron and the
Rhus renenata are most poisonous. The
color of the flower of spotted touch me-
not is a deep orange and the spots are of
a reddish brown. The lip forms sac,
not much unlike the moccasin flower, and
it ends in curved spur. Tho seed pods
burst if slightly touched and scatter the
seeds all around. To this peculiar prop
erty the plant owes its common name.
1t is called li-me-tangere" and NY
touchez pas" The remedy is applied by
expressing the juices of the plant and ap-
plying it to the skin which has been
poisoned. Popular Sci' nee Ne,cs

local treatment pronounced it incurable.
