An Aged Lady Makes Interesting Ex-
hibits.-Mrs. M. w. Merritt, of Pikesville,
who is 81 years of age, had an interesting ex-
hibit in the household department at limo
mum fair this week. 1t consisted of two pin
cushions made in the shape of pigeons. She
won prizes last year by her exhibit and she
was afraid the judges would bar her this year,
so she made the following poetical appeal for
recognition:
1.-TWO little birds you see
Just the birds for you and me.
If you like me, show it, show it.
Give me premium, so I'll knowit,"
Of course, such an appeal was irresistible
and the prize was won. She also won prize
for dog made of seeds, which was surrounded
by wheat taken from the farm of Hon. ]. f.
G. Talbot, at Luthervile.

They Are Very Much in Earnest-A letter
from Belair dated September Sd says: "a
large number of the farmers residing along the
line of the Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail-
( road in Hartford county are very much dis
satisfied with the dairying branch of their
sbueinese,- claiming that the price received for
their milk is not commensurate with the cost
of production. For the purpose of taking
some decided action in the matter largely at
tended meeting OF the farmers was held at
Belair on Tuesday, which will result in the
effectng of a permanent organization.
1.-THE following were appointed to have in
charge the interests of the organization in
their respective localities: Joseph S. White
Pylesville; David Ely, of Highland; George
Amoss, of Minefeld; ]. Walter STREET., of The
Rocks; John A. Robinson, of Sharon Bar
clay Tucker, ofForest Hill; Joseph 7. Hopes,
of Bynum David Hanway, of Belair; Muir
ray Maypadier of Vale; Joseph B. Twining,
of Fallston, and Charles E. Burton, of Long
Green Valley.
"a committee composed of Joseph T.
Hopes, e. a. Wilson, Joseph B. Twining,
Preston Wallis and Charles E. Burton was APP
pointed to confer with the dairymen of Balti-
more city when the views of the organization
will be, fully presented. The subject was
thoroughly discussed at the meeting and the
farmers displayed great concern as to the flu
ture of the dairying business. They contend
that the price of feed of all kinds has advanc-
ed that labor is scarce, and the wages de-
manded are high.
Thousands of gallons of milk are shipped
to Baltimore from Hartford every day, and it
varies in price from Is to IS cents per gallon
delivered in Baltimore, and the average net
price to the farmer is IL cents per gallon. At
this price, the farmer claims it is impossible
to produce milk without loss, and efforts will
be made to have the city dairymen fully APP
preciate this condition and to grant the request
for an increase over the price they are now
paying"
