Fullerton, 18th District.-The supervisor
of the Belair road has apparently tried an ex-
pertinent on that thoroughfare by sprinkling
barrel of crude oil on the surface near Putty
Hill. 1t certainly is effective in settling the
dust and 1t also firmly packs the stone or at
least assists very materially in doing So The
only objection is the odor which, however,
does not last long. The pity is that not more
of the road was sprinkled.
Strong efforts are being made by two or three
of our citizens in a quiet way to have the trolley
line extended from its present terminus to at
least st. Joseph's Church, but under the pres
ent circumstances it is hard work. We hope,
as well as the Perry Hall people, that the effort
will be successful.
Mr.. Martin Besold has nearly finished new
dwelling at the emile stone, Putty Hill. He
was hurt few days ago by the premature
starting of his team while hauling sand for
the building.
New buildings are going up everywhere in
this neighborhood and this place looks like a
city. The carpenters and other mechanics are
all busy.

was never better in quality, and despite tns

wheat will have ripened sufficiently to be cut

The chief topic of interest to the younger

not only for the evidence of the advanced men

characteristics among some of the scholars at
this school for many years.

concerned, particularly the preceptress, Miss
Harriet Parsons, whose uptO-date methods
and skill have justly entitled her to the esteem
of both patron and pupil. The chief patronness
of the school, Miss Elizabeth jenkins, gratul-
tous instructress in art needlework. was justly
rewarded by beautiful display of fancy and
useful articles that were readily sold at the
closing entertainment and treat rendered the
scholars by Miss Jenkins, who returned the
nett result $500 from the sale to the school

swer-Fall seeding without any nurse" crop
and from the LIST of August to September. The
last week in August sowing usually makes good
growth and will cover the ground, and then next
year crop can be cut; but it is not so with the
spring sowing. To inoculate the soil the bacte-
ria from other soils is great benefit and this
can be had from the land where the English
clover abounds along the Northern Central Rail-
way 500 pounds of it is sufficient per acre, pre-
pared and drilled in. 1t should be cultivated in
the soil directly If sown broadcast, as exposure
to the sun will kill the bacteria.
Mr.. ]. Summerfeld Crowther said, it being
leguminous plant he has tried to take care of 1t
while others are trying to get rid of 1t.
Reference was made to Mr.. Charles A. Coun-
Gilman having so acres in alfalfa. His was
spring seeding, which 1t is likely will give weed
trouble. Every dairyman should aim to get
alfalfa. Better SOW it on high than low land;
light soils will take it and limestone soils have
shown good crops. Any kind OF fertilizer Is
good to apply. If manure is put on it should be
on the ground long enough to sprout the seeds
and before the cultivation of the ground. Sod
land is not good for the seeding of alfalfa. 1t is
not well to buy foreign seed or seed from irriga-
ted land. The seed should be acclimated. AL
most any land will grow it if it is inoculated.
All Maryland lands need lime and with it they
will grow alfalfa A high, gravelly field was re-
ferred to that grew four tons of it to the acre.
The seed adapted to Kansas and Nebraska is
good to buy. Good seed ought to test 80 to %
per cent purity 20 to % lbs. of seed-which
sells at 10 cts. per pound--is enough to SOW.
Some authorities say it is injurious to orchards
as it takes SO much strength from the trees.
| There is a farmer in Texas who has Zoo acres
in alfalfa works 200 hands and realizes 100000
year. Reference was made to Mr.. Clark's large
hay crops in Connecticut and as to whether our
lard would produce two crops of hay in single
| season. Mr.. DERRICK was mentioned as getting
two good crops of hay from the same land dur
| ing the year by liberal application of stable
manure, he having cut timothy and redtol
grass. Timothy, it was said, feeds near the sur
face and is not as good for the clover which Is
deep rooted. Mr.. Deitrick follows heavy man
uring with good cultivation and Mr.. Clark OBJ
tains good results with thorough preparation OF
the soil and he uses fertilizers literally. Oxy
gen is brought to the soil by thorough ttllage.

Difforenti.l or Mo- Differential.

Every farmer in Texas has heard of
the arbitrary differential of &c per 100
pounds on cotton, averaging SOC bale,
which the failread commission makes
higher to Gslveston thar to Houston.
But the ssssisn is, does the farmer
realize hou this special higher rate to
Galveston ftSures him?
II is positively not fight between
Houston aad Galveston. We look at
this mattsk frsas broad standpoint of
the entiD btAss. The United States
GOVERNORS has spent over $4,000, 900
in making y frAt-class harbor at Gal
weston to tsasAS the commerce of Tex
as. Texss AAEnsrs and shippers should
be allowed 10 TsAeh the ocean ships at
Galvestoa, NTH tAeir products without
being hsld Up nj Houston and assessed
extra charges, Ne do not care whether
it improves s4s sr Injuries the other OF
those citisss lsrs sight Of both of them
and consider the matter as concerns
the cotton crop. So long as they have
80 feet of water at Galveston and a
place for ocean vessels. Texas cotton
will move to that port. The farmers
should not be required to pay an arbi-
trary higher rate to Galveston and
thereby lose immense sums every yeaI
just to build up Houston and keep Local
conditions alive there.
The railroad commission takes hard
earned money from the farmers when
they make this ditferential to Calves
ton. Last year it cost the farmers
S7O0, 900 or $500, 600 giving the railroads
and Houston that much more This
