Chance for Good Fruit Crop.

State Entomologist and Professor A. l..
Quaiutance, of the Maryland Agricultural
College, has just returned from a five
days investigation of the orchards of
Washington county. He says that he
found the growers busy spraying for San
Jose scale, pruning and doing other rou.
tine orchard work The orchardists in
the important fruit section arc alive to the
Importance of giving proper attention to
the details of successful fruit growing and
are determined to get the most possible
out Of their trees. Prospects for a full
crop are considered good. The fruit buds
of the peach are but little swollen and
unless something unusual in the way of
bad weather occurs there will be a large
crop of this fruit the present year.

Rise in the Price of Meat.

The Philadelphia Logger says: For
months the prices of many essential food
stuffs have been advancing steadily, and
in some instances without apparent reason
except the will of those who control the
market The only consolation for con-
sumers was the fact that meats remained
reasonably steady. If there were any ap-
prehensions that these would in time fol
low the other foodstuffs, they are now
seen to be we'll founded, for the big trust
has been announced an advance that will
prove almost prohibitive to many consul
mers. Dressed beef had been advanced
It cents, lamb 81, mutton 3, veal . and
pork cents pound. This means raise
in the retail price of from 3 to 4 cents
pound As the prevailing rates have been
considered abnormally high, the further
advance announced, together with the
higher prices of other food commodities,
give the finishing touch to the troubles OF
those whose incomes have only just been
sufficient to make "both ends meet"
The Beef Trust, so called, represented
by number of large concerns in Chicago
and elsewhere, has given as reason for
the higher rates demanded a scarcity of
live stock in the West, but this will hard
ly be accepted as satisfactory by the con-
sumers of limited means. They will rath
er adopt the suggestion that the action
was taken for speculative purposes, or, as
it is termed, "a squeeze" They realize
also that they are the victims of it.
If an advance of fraction of a cent
had been made, the claim that it was due
to a scarcity of live stock in the West
might be accepted, but not an increase of
from to cents pound, when at the
same time American meat is lie ny sold in
Europe by the trust at prices much lower
than here Either the Beef Trust has
surplus and is shipping it abroad to be sold
at cost to prevent loss, or it is selling to
home consumers at an excessive profit. In
one or the other event the latter are I'M
fairly treated

Hicks for April.

A reactionary storm disturbance, begin
ming the last of March, will expend its
force by April the first, a higher barome-
ter, westerly winds ard cooler weather
following up the disturbance and lasting
two or three days, during which change
to fair and cooler, frosty nights will pre-
vail in most parts of the central and north
ern states.
TIVE Vulcan storm period central on
the oh and covering the 3rd to the Sth,
will bring decided change to warmer
and eliminate about the 9th, 18th and Sth
in many active thunder storms and neavy
local hail storms the Moon is on the
celestial equator on the 9th and at her
new on the 9Th, which facts will tend to
cause higher temperatures and electrical
storms.
On and about the 18th and 18th, the
regular swing of the elements to renewed
storms conditions will be natural. The
Moon will approach nearest the Earth on
the 10th, a fact, we are satisfied, which
will help to increase atmospheric unrest,
and excite the normal tendency to April
showers into wider and more decided
storms through the 18th and 18th.
The elimination of the Mercury dis
turbances will fall about the date of the
fill Moon. Therefore expect at the reactio
nary storm period central on the 22nd
aid 23rd, some general and wicked storms
of rain, hail, wind and thunder. Look,
also, fol- an energetic high barometer to
follow up these storms from the northwest,
reaching, before its force is expended
south of the central states, and causing
frOsts over all sections nLrthward.
During the perturbations of the above
Mercury period, our friends in northern
parts of the country need not be surpris
ed if they are visited by some late but de-
cided squalls of snow and sleet. Mercury
is our sleet god, he retres slowly and
stubbornly before the verna impulse from
the equator and will not miss an oppor-
tunity to hurl back some darts of sleet,
snow, frost and ice, even as late as April.
The last storm period for April is CEN
trail on the 2Sth, extending from the Goth
to Both.
Upon the whole, we believe that April
will prove nice month for general
outdoor work We doubt if the rainfall
for the month will be all that is desired
in many sections of the middle west.
Some localities, of course. will get more
than local needs call for, but the general
rainfall will be short of normal, or aver
age amount.

Victory for Farmers.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore SUI
from Annapolis Tuesday says:
The bill appropriating 100000 for the
MARYLAND Agricultural College was the
occasion of sharp struggle in the House
this afternoon that finally resulted IN the
passage of the bill to its third reading.
The bill was originally introduced by
Mr.. Dallam of Prince Georges county
who, when it came up, offered an amend
ment reducing the appropriation to $3s, OO(
and providing that the college may take
advantage of the land grant and Hatch
laws passed by Congress, whereby about
$50, 1000 is appropriated annually to the
| college for educational purposes only
Mr.. Dallam's substitute provided for an
appropriation CT $4,000 for the erection
of buildings, new experimental station,
dormitories, etc; $4,000 for heating and
ventilating the same, $4,000 for enlarging
the mechanical department and $4,000 for
the maintenance and insurance of the
structures.
Mr.. Goodwin, of the city delegation,
moved to indefinitely postpone the bill.
Mr.. Dallam vigorously opposed this and
argued strongly in favor of the appropria-
ton and spoke Of the merits of the insti-
tuition.
He said the appropriation must be made
if it was hoped to take advantage of the
Federal appro priation. He claimed that
there had developed cerlaln opposition to
the bill which he could not understand,
and intimated that those who were lobby
ing" against the bill were not registered.
"They have attacked the institution and
made charges that are largely, if not en-
tirely, untrue
Without disposing of the bill the House,
at P. NJ, took recess until P. M.
The bill comes up after the recess as I'M
finished business, and Mr.. Goodwin re-
newed his motion to indefinitely postpone.
He argued that the college in one year
graduated two students, in another four
and last year 1s, and announced his oppo-
sition to such appropriations
Mr. Wells, of Prince Georges county
warmly replied that Mr.. Gcdwin's argu-
ment should bring the blush of shame to
his cheek. He spoke of the poor treat
ment the State has hitherto given the col
lege and of the possibilities which this ap-
preparation would open up for it and of
the value of the institution to the farmers
and agricultural interests of the State.
Chairman Rogers, of the Ways and
Means Committee, defended the bill and
urged the appropriation. He explained
the Dallam amendment, which had been
approved by Attorney General Rayncr
and which in return for the appropriation
gives the State another mortgage.
Mr.. Griffith. of Calvert county, opposed
the bill and said the college did not re-
fleet credit upon the State Mr.. Rogers,
of Baltimore county, spoke in favor of
the bill as one of the farmers of the State.
Mr.. Godwin's motion was defeated and
Mr.. Dallam's amendment adopted.
Mr.. Biggs, of Washington county, then
offered an amendment striking out the ap-
preparation of $a5,OOO for dormitories.
He spoke at length in favor of this amend
ment, which was defeated. He denied
that the farmers of the State were united
in favoring the bill.

plans for the prosecution of field work in
eight counties during the coming sum-
mer. Surveys for topographic maps will
be conducted in three counties, Wicomico,
Queens Anne's and Baltimore-by CO.
operation with the United States Geolog-
ical Survey as in the past. 1t is hoped

mineral wealth and the farming possibii
ties of the several counties.
The Maryland Survey alone will carry
forward the investigation of the States
geology. Geological surveys of Kent,
Prince Georges, and Baltimore will be
taken up and pushed to completion. The
work in the region of the first two coun-
ties will be done under the direction of
DR.. G. B. Shattuck, who will have Messrs.

GARDEN LECTURES.
The Study of Flower Beds and BOr-
ders Is Vastly Popular.

New York, Feb. Tt was only natu-
raj that after the dozen and one more
or less inspiring and instructive books
on gardens and gardening had earned
their popular success that the woman
with a horticultural lecture up her
sleeve should make her appearance.
Every woman who can boast a house
standing in its own grounds feels a
certain amount of enthusiasm over
growing things and their poetical, edu-
cational or spiritual value; further
more, she has started a garden, and
here is where the lecturer gets her au-
dience. She is billed to appear in pri-
vate drawing rooms and give talks on
flower culture, ethical and practical
Already her tickets are sold up to the
limit, and at her talks there is never
an empty chair. AS she has been for
years the mistress of charming gar
den, and is a learned botanist as well,
she is qualified to lay down the law on
soils, roofing, planting, fertilizers, in
sect destroyers, proper exposures,
straight on through the lore to the
language of the flowers themselves.
For a select circle of inquiring minds
the lecturer has opened a series of
morning classes, and she confesses that
it is both astonishing and encouraging
to find the numbers of women who
really wish to delve deeply into this
matter and prepare themselves for in
telligent and improving care of their
own Towering beds and borders. Her
course of ten lectures began with en-
ightenment on the subject of laying
out new garden; her second was on
glass houses; her third on garden his
tory, and the famous landscape gar
deners. The audiences, however found
most inspiring her talks on the rose
the lily, the violet; and each important
flower that she took up in turn she
discussed from its earliest mention in
history to its marked value in the
flower marts of New York, Boston, etc.
To these lectures the women go. note
books in hand, and take down bits of
information that seem important, and
as the lecturer talks she has a growing
pot of the flowers under discussion on
her table and illustrates every point
that she makes. On the morning of
each talk the members of the class ar
rive wearing boutonnieres of the bios
som that is the subject of the lecture
and the winter so far has been pune
tuated with pretty luncheon parties
given in honor of the royal rose, the
meek and lowly violet, or the patient
pansy, as the leader of the class has
in turn taken them under considera-
tioh' F. E.
