FAYETTE BEARD FROM.

5thatS Mr.. Hubbara's candidacy for the
United States Senate will be received
with gladness by the people Of West
Virginia, who are looking for n Of
the ablest men In the state to fill the
high position now occupied by Senator
I. B. Scott. The Tribune says:
The announcement comes from
Wheeling that Congressman, William
z Hubbard has decided finally to en-.
ter the race for United States Senator
to succeed Senator; n: b. Scott.
IS There is not a county in the State
where this announcement will not be
met with general appreciation. and
cheer.
The reason Is both plain and simple.
Mi Hubbard is qualified to give to the
State able representation and to. the
rarty honest, straightforward and in.
telligent leadership. Senator Scott
not.
We think that there IS full justifca.
tion In saying that tie State Of west
Virginia has now, for tl.c very first
time. aI!real and tangible opportunity
to put In the Senate the character Of
man that,the wide interests or the State
as we'll ias Its Importance as an Int!

To make a slight review as basis.
for the argument, we may say that
heretofore the senatorshlp has been
peddled to tile highest bidder in the
y coin Of the realm. Senator Elkinss hur.

gically squatting ut the time that the
party was In plight for resources to

responded to the necessities Of the
party and has been rewarded thrice

Senator Scott has merely followed
suit, bidding in at intervals the richest
Slit OF the party, though his gifts OF
money have always been more osten-
ftatious anu perliaps more, profuse than
those Of his senior colleague. An in.
u innate knowledge OF the Immediate
circumstances at: the time, affords us
the ample ground for revealing that

The Tribune feels at liberty to rate
the candidacy of Senator Scott upon
Stits chief asset, since It happens that

Reason for Thanksgiving.

The delay of the frost will bring

fields than was estimated four weeks
ago, and there will be %, 900, 900 bushels
more of wheat than was expected a
few weeks ago. 1t is now certain that
the cornscrop for the year will be lit
tie over 5000, 000,O0O bushels. That
of oats will be l 100000, 900 bushels. The
cotton crop is somewhat short, but will
very likely bring as much money as the
more bountiful harvest of other years.
1t lis estimated that at the present
prices the value of the agricultural pro-
duction of the country for the year will
not be under SO, 100000, 900, Of this
amount',,$2, 900, 100000 represents the
profit to farmers, which is within $780,

ton of all theImines during the present
year. Within the last 10 years the
farmers haveicleared off $4,000, 600, 600
of mortgagesIfrom their property. The
holdings of he..farmers are So, 800, 900,

PASSING OF THE BUCKWHEAT CAKE

The New York World makes the fol
lowing pertinent comments on subject
that is Just now receiving a good deal
of attention throughout the country,
under the above caption. Inasmuch as
Western Maryland has been a great
producer of the trucelent, or succulent
diet referred to, we are sure the World S
comments will prove interesting to our
readers:
THE news that the consumption of
buckwheat cakes has seriously fallen
off within five years comes from
former stronghold of that breakfast
table delicacy, New Jersey. 1t was
from New Jersey that decreased pro-
duction of applejack was recently re-
ported. Is the state proving false to
its old gastronomic ideals?
CAS- for the buckwheat cake, its loss
of favor is variouslY attributed to the
thrush of patent breakfast foods in the
wake OF a large committing population,
and to dearer pork, which initiates
against the inseparable concomitant Of
the sausage. Whether the presence of
wheat m1ddlings in the -four has any
thing to do with it need not be consider
ed. But the primal moving cause Of its
decadence is no doubt to be found in q
commarcialized cuisine and in the deter
ioration of the art of making buckwheat
cakes.
This is a native art, one not acquir-
ed in intelligence offices. Given the
old culinary conditions under which it
fourished. with buckwheat cakes of the
kind that use to appeal to the masculine
palate, and there would be no occasion
to deplore the passing of this.nutritious
and appetizing article of diet. The APP
petite is still there. The trouble is to
prepare buckwheat cakes in way to
satisfy it -"

Two Weeks Course in Fruit CROWNS.

The State Horticultural Department
of the Maryland Agricultural College
announces two weeks course in prac-
teal fruit growing, the control of insect
pests and plant diseases and spraying.
This course is offered free and is open
to all persons interested in these sub
jects in the State. 1t is an opportunity
for the growers to gain an insight into
the practical methods of growing trees,
packing and storing fruit, and the con-
troll of the many pests that are detri-
mental to successful fruit growing.
This course is announced to commence
Januarp 80, The local inspectors that
are employed by the State Horticultural
Department to conduct inspection Of
orchards, etc, will be selected from the
persons taking this course. 1t is hoped
that each county will have a large num-
Der attend the College during these two
weeks. The course is given at a con-
venient time for most persons, and the
cost is simply board. Therefore, grow
ers Of this county should make use Of
this opportunity to learn up-to date
methods Of successful fruit growing.
