Congressman Talbot as q Farmer
There are thousands of Democrats in the Sec
ond Congressional district, constituents of the
Hon. ]. Fred. c. Talbot who know him as
the astute politician, the ready lawyer, the wit
ty story teller and the allaround good fellow,
but there are comparatively few OF them who
know him as the up-to-date farmer. Indeed
this knowledge is confined almost exclusively
to his constituency on the Northern Central
Railway, who on their way to the city pass his
well kept farm at Lutherville. Several years
ago Mr.. Talbot undertook to farm his moth
er's property, on which he first saw the light
of day, and he was jollied very considerably by
his friends on the new roll he had assumed
and when he got on the train in the morning.
the usual salutation was, "Hello, Fred, how's
crops?" His friends thought it was joke,
but Fred was in dead earnest; he had been
among farmers long enough to know that
barnyard manure when applied in a sufficient
quantity, would bring an answer. So he made
a contract with large stables in the city for
manure and it is probable that but few farms
in the county are richer or more productive to-
day than his. He has the place in grass and
the large ricks of hay this season on a farm
hay is the very best evidence of his success as
farmer. Mr.. Talbot this harvest succeeded
10 seying bis eroPs without loss. notwithstsndi--
pares favorably with any in the neighborhood.
He is particularly pleased with his outlook for
potatoes and expects very large crop. To say
that Mr.. Talbot enjoys looking after his agri-
cultural interests is putting it mild for most all
his spare time is spent on the place; and farm.
ing is probably the only subject which be will
discuss in preference to politics. While Mr..
Talbot does not attempt to make political cap
ital out of his success as q farmer, vet his
friends claim that he is the only farmer in
Congress today from Maryland.-IOwson DEM
