A member, Ct the Produce Exchange
recently organized in Worcester coun-
ty, Md, along lines similar to the
Produce Exchange Of the Eastern
Shore Of Virginia, concurs, as will be
seen by q communication in another
column, In the views expressed by us
for a union Of the two Exchanges I'M
der the same management. Voicing as
he seems to do the wishes of the
majority of the people interested in the
Exchange in his county and none the
less, we believe, the wishes OF the
majority of the Exchange people OF
this county, a conference of the dlrec-
tors of the two organizations only
seems to be necessary to perfect an
agreement, which will be in the interest
of and to the advantage of both 10
that end an invitation is not only III
order, for our Maryland neighbors 10
come over and confer with us but can
be given with the assurance, that 1t
will have the hearty endorsement OF
the members of our Exchange. Indeed
such a meeting is necessary and can
not fail to be productive of good re-
suits. Nor will 1t be a display OF
"magnanmity" on the part of our
Exchange to take our Maryland neigh
bors into our organization. 1t is a
matter of business between the two,
which neither can afford to ignore, II
we would protect ourselves from the
loss which will result to us in the inn
proper handling and marketing Of the
produce of our Maryland neighbors-
if they would profit by our experience,
not only in properly grading their
produce and sending it to a market
not already overburdened, but in CON
signing it to responsible parties who
will give them honest returns.
The two Exchanges must to great
extent be under the same management
and friction and injurious competl
ton" cannot be avoided in any othel
way, but while this is true, we submit
that it is not necessary for the Mary
land organization to be absorbed 10y
our Exchange or to be made entirely
dependent upon us. On the contrary
when shipment is to be made OF pro
ducts not grown by the other it is bet
ter that the officers of each Exchange
act independently of the other. In thu
shipment of similar products, though
an overburdened market must be pre-
vented by placing it in the hands O.
one manager, who would see that it il
properly distributed throughout TIM
country.
In this connection, therefore, for rea
sons given and others which might b'
submitted it may not be out of place
TO suggest, while Oor Meryiand neigh
bors retain their organization and IL
many respects act for themselves, thai
instead Of a manager, they select al
assistant to confer with and advise oul
manager, but subject to his decision
when the occasion requires 1t. There
can be no question, though, If repre-
sentative men of the two organization
will get together, whatever their differ
ences may be in the matter, that they
will be able to reconcile them in way
that will be in the interest of the peo-
pie Of the two sections. Let the con
ference be held at an early day.

In report of the proceedings of the
Senate on Thursday the fate of the
Jordan Oyster bill is told in the follow
ing:
The motion to take the bill up out OF
its order, required twenty seven votes,
SO that its adoption was fOredoomed.
The viva voce clearly showed the fail
ure of the motion, but Mr.. Fulton
called for a division, with the result
that but four or five hands went up.
He called for the ayes and noes, but
there were not enough sustaining the
call. This definitely declared the
death of the bill, which has occupied
such a prominent place in public at
tention for the past two years.

The bill introduced into the Legisla-
ture at the instance of the Liquor
Dealers Association, looking to the re-
moval Of the Jail penalty for selling
liquor on Sunday, and which passed
the House, by practically unanimous
vote, was reported adversely by the
committee of the Senate and defeated
by that body. No bill presented at
this session has been so universally
condemned by the citizens, of the
State, the members of the House ex-
cepted, and why they should have
favored it, is not explained. OF the
four or five who voted against it in the
House, it is gratifying to note, that our
representative, Hon. Jno. r. Rev, was
Of that number.

Why Carlisle Declined.

The reason John G.. Carlisle did
not consent to appear with John S
Wise in the case of Jones and Selden
versus Gov. Montague, the case of
the negroes who are testing the con-
stitutionality of the suffrage clause
of the Constitution in the u. 8. Su-
preme Court, was that James Hayes,
the negro lawyer, would be associat
ed with him Mr.. Carlisle, when he
was notified by Mr.. Wise that the ne
groes wished him to appear with him
in the case, was of a mind to accept
the retainer, which was sum OF four
figures in size, but when he learned
that he would sit at the bar with the
negro attorney, if he consented, he
refused, finally and emphatically.

Representative Lamb of the Rich
mond district is not in favor of any of
the good roads bills introduced in Con-
gress. He says he will take all the bills
referred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture, of which he is the senior Demo
cratic member, and draft one that
meets his ideas of what bill of
the character should contain. He
wants bill for road improvement to
provide that the money appropriated
shall be spent under the direction of
officials of the State, and not of the
national government.

PUTTING Up Fruit.

To be successful in canning fruit
these rules must be carefully OBJ
served: When using the self-seallng
Jars (Which are best for most fruits)
care must be taken to have good lids
and rubber rings. Sometimes one will
overlook a defective lid, unless great
care is taken, for small holes Will
come in the sides of lid large enough
to let the air in, yet can scarcely be
seen with the naked eye. Have your
fruit boiling hot and the jar full, SO
the air will all be driven out Sweeten
your fruit before it is canned. the
flavor will be better and it does not
require as much sugar to sweeten 1t
as it does afterwards; the sugar cooks
into the fruit, instead of settling to
the bottom, as it does when cold
After Tightening the lids turn the jars
tops downwards and place in a cool,
dry closet or cellar and keep the room
darkened, as light fades the fruit and
it does not keep so well. Many prefer
tin cans for peaches and tomatoes.
Where they are used, and especially
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-07-15
To Enamel Furniture.

Smooth all rough places and fill
cracks with putty, then paint the ar
ticle to be enameled, with common
paint; let it dry we'll, then give two
coats of enamel paint. The coat of
common paint fills the wood and saves
the enamel and besides this, the en-
amel stays on better. The common
paint must be the same color as the
enamel The enameled furniture is
so popular now that one can take adj
vantage of this and have a new, fresh
looking bed room suite by enameling
one which has become old and faded.

high polish should not be aimed at,
but instead, fine, even finish; neck
bands of shirts should be ironed into
their original shape and set up at right
angles with the shirt to allow the
neck free play. Very stiff work does
more damage to your linen than wear
and washing combined. Solid and
flexible is the thing.

Cherry Vinegar.

There are few drinks more refresh
ing than that made from half an inch
of cherry vinegar in the bottom OF a
tumbler, into which ice water is
poured and stirred until the glass is
full. Cover any quantity of pie
cherries (sour red cherries) with good
cider vinegar in a wooden or earthen
vessel. Bruise and stir them occa-
sionally for four days Then to every
pint of carefully strained juice add a
pound of granulated sugar. Boil for
a quarter of an hour. Skim and keep
in well-corked bottles.

for the second time, the cans should
be lined with white paper to avoid
danger of tin poisoning. Cut circle
of paper to fit bottom of cans and
strip wide enough to cover the sides,
fill the cans with fruit and place
circle of the paper on top. On pouring
out the fruit the can will be found to
be perfectly dry.

Frozen Cherries.

Two quarts of cherries, two pounds
of sugar and one quart of water. Stone
the cherries, stir in the sugar and let
it stand for an hour. Then stir well
again, add the water, put into the
freezer and turn rapidly until it is
frozen. This amount serves ten per-
sons.

Baby Screen.

To keep the flies and mosquitoes off
the baby, make frame of light mater
ial (about Il by Pinch stuff) and cover
with mosquito netting. Make large
enough to set down over the baby
while he is sleeping. This is quite an
improvement on the old way of spread
ing the netting over the child as the
frame holds the netting up so the
hands will not reach it. If one has
the desire for a more convenient and
serviceable article the frame may be
hinged together so it will fold, and
screen wire may be used instead of the
mosquito netting
