NUT GROWING IN MARYLAND.
An Industry That is Destined TO Prove
a Source of Some Revenue.

Prof. c. P Close, State horticulture
ist, connected with the Maryland Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station at Col
lege Park, Prince Georges county, has
been collecting data IN regard to nut
growing in Maryland He read paper
on the subject at the recent meeting Of
the National Nut Growers Association
at the jamestown Exposition. Pro-
fessor Close obtained some facts show
ing that nut growing has been long es-
tablished in Maryland
On the Eastern Shore are a number
of ancient pecan trees. One of them,
said to have grown from a nut planted
107 years ago, is 100 feet high and as
wide in spread of branches, and the
trunk has a diameter of five feet. Two
other large pecan trees, each 100 years
old, are known, and there is another
oldtimer SO years old. Persian walnut
trees are numerous, and there are a
number Of magnificent old specimens
which grow bushels of nuts annually
One tree, so years old, is said to have
produced from three to ten bushels a
year for the last 80 years. Nearly all
the young trees reproductive, seedlings
beginning to bear at from five to ten
years after planting.
The only nut nursery reported in the
State is in Western Maryland, and con-
tains about 1900 young trees In that
part of the State the native nut trees
succeed well, and thousands of pounds
of ,chestnuts are gathered and shipped
annually. About IS Persian walnut
trees are reported from Washington
county. One tree cleft grated on black
walnut produced 800 nuts the third year
from grating, and more than 1000 nuts
the fourth year.
Professor Close summarizes the
Maryland situation as follows:
The native black walnut, butternut,
hickory, chestnut, beech, hazel and
chinquapin abound almost everywhere.
A few of the black walnuts and hick-
cries are of special merit and will be
utilized as basis of improving these
nuts. Most of the State has produced
excellent Persian walnuts and some
pecans for more than a hundred years.
Only a few named varieties of the i'm

sltions and protecting them in these
positions, The letter of Veteran"
enthuses every loyal heart of those who
reside along the line of the Appalachian
where Washington, Lincoln and Grant
found the men who saved the nation
and upheld the Constitution, so in this
case let old Garrett get into the fight
and give an increased majority for the
whole Republican ticket.
Let farmers, merchants and men of
daily toll and all good citizens, irrespec-
tive of party utilization, each make
themselves a committee of one, a politi-
cal missionary and go among friends,
seeing them individually, and the result
on November 9Th will be the wrestling
from the grasp of the party of extra
sessions and trick ballots every vestige
of control and placing it in the hands of
the Republican Party, who have pledged
their candidates to the passage of such
laws as will guarantee to all citizens
the right and privilege of voting fair
ballot and having that counted as cast.
| again appeal to you comrades, your
sons and neighbors, as believe the old
soldiers should be on guard when the
liberty of man is at stake and on cleo
ton he should vote as he shot, i. e. for
liberty, flag and country.

Apbeal For China:

President Roosevelt has expressed;
by official proclamation, the profound
sympathy Of this country for the
15,0Ob, ,OO6 famine sufferers in China;
and has invited the American people
to Contribute a fund TO be applied to
relief work. The proclamation is
given In part below:
There. is an. appalling famine IN
China. Throughout q district cover
ing over 10000 square miles,. and sup
porting population Of 100000, the
CROPS have been destroyed by Hoods,
and millions of people are on the verge
Of starvation; thousands Of dwellings
have been destroyed and their inmates
are without hornes. An urgent appeal
has been made for the assistance Of the
United States.
hOur people have often, under SINH
lar conditions of distress in other
countries, responded generously to such
appeals. Amid our abounding pros
perity, and in this holiday season Of
good will to men, assuredly we shtuld
do our part 10 aid the unfortunate, and
relieve the distressed among the people
OF China, to whom we have been allied
kipdness.n
The above proclamation was issued
several weeks ago, but these fifteen
million people will have to depend
upon outside help until their harvest
time In June. Any one wishing to
aid In the relief Of this suffering can
hand their contributions to Rev. F. w.
Aver within the next week and it will
be Forwarded to one of the relief com.
mittees kt once.

Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb. ls-
Offerings OF cattle were very good here
last week, total receipts being $500
same as week ago. Market ruled ac-
tive and good cattle closed strong to d
dime higher. Eastern markets con-
tinued dull and drdggy ON dcco1nt Of
the car situation but this fact had very
little effect on the local market. Good
corn fed steers sold to packers at $5.10
and pulp and hay fed stuff went large:
ly at $4.S5 to s4.75. Demand strong
for steers and not enough here to meet
1t. Corfi fed cows of good duality
went largely at $40 to $4.O6, pretty
good pulp and hay fed cows at $3.50 to
1915 and few loads Of good 6nes up
to $3.50. Medium cows were a little
dull and quotable at $3.50 to $8.15.
Bulls active and firm with best selling
Dip to $3 35 and hulk at sat to $500.
veals steady at $3.50 to $500 Feeder
and stocker supply was light and de-
inland strong for anything good. Buy
ers still perfer the heavy steers of Sc
lected quality, however, and prices on
on this kind are strong to 10 cents
Higher. There is very little improve,
ment in the plain and f6ugbef grades,
either in demand or price. Some
Choice San Luis valley steers went to
the country at $4.B6 fiat and bulk Of
the pretty fair grades sold at 800 to
$4.4O with the c6mmoh stuff all the
way down to $500.
Fancy Colorado corn fed steers sold
Ut $3.50, the highest price paid here
this season outside Of show stuff.
Northern Colorado steers sold at S4.s5
Ind good cows at 1885. The market
was active at steady prices despite
father ufifavofable advises from cas-
tern points. Buyers here are wanting
Ill kinds Of good cattle and paying
rather better tiian river prices for the
stuff that suits them.-W. n. Fulton.

THE sANpAeE SLIPPED OF.
Thereby Exposing Ruse to Save the
 Family Pride.

A Kansas City professional man. who is prominently identified with Missouri politics, tells the following story on himself::' My folks moved from Indiana to Johnson county, Mis- souri, when was six years of age. We settled on a farm near Holden. The first Sunday we were there, and while the family was preparing for Sunday school. it was discovered that I did not have any shoes. My mother, realizing that folks would talk if one of her children made his first public appearance barefooted. suggested that I have a cloth tied around one foot to create the impres- sion that I was unable to wear shoes because of a sore foot. So the rag was tied on me. Everything went along smoothly and I learned all about what's-his-name's bears eating the bad children up. when I heard a snicker from a boy I afterwards licked. He was pointing to my right foot glanced downward. The rag had slipped of and my mothers ruse was exposed
