Spoons.

The origin Of the spoon Is uncertain
IL must havo been invented at n very
ancient date, for It is found among
people that have never come into CON
tact with civilization. The necessity
Of having some implement for dipping
water seems 20 have led first 20 the
invention Of the calabash or the use
OF the cocoanut shell and later on TO
the spoon.

PROTECTING THE FARMERS.

The government is now rapid
ly getting into shape to prevent
an imposition from which farmers
have long suffered, says the
Buffalo Express. 1t ispreparing
to inforce the law against the
sale of useless and worthless in
secticides and fungicides, for
which it is said the farmers of
the United States spend some
where between 500, 900, 900 and
$25, 900, 900 each year. Unscrup-
ulous manufacturers shave not
hesitated to take advantage of
the modern demand for spray
ing stuffs to put on the market
mixtures which in some cases
have contained as high as SO per
cent. OF inert matter. Most of
these mixtures cost but little to
manufacture, but are sold for
many times their cost to the user.
The immense sums which are
expended in the aggregate for
these sprays show how great the
business has become, and con-
sequently how imperative it is
that some measures should be
taken to insure the marketing of
insecticides and fungicides which
really do what they are advertis-
ed to do.
! 1nasmuch as the government,
working through the Department
of Agriculture, has taught the
farmer the necessity of fighting
the inroads of insects and fun
gous growths that attack his
crops, it is but right that it
should also protect him from the
impositions which have been an
outcome of the demand thus
created.

SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS MADE
IN RURAL MARYLAND.

In the interesting article pub
lished in The Sun recently Mr..
George T. Melvin tells of the
progress Caroline county has
made in the last twenty-five
years. Mr.. Melvin, about a
quarter of a century ago, moved
from Caroline county to Anna
polls. Recently he went back to
visit his old home and naturally
compared the present with the
former conditions. He finds that
farm lands are worth three times
as much an acre as they were
worth in 1885. This improve
ment in values is attributed to
two things: The lands are
better farmed and are more pro-
ductive and there has been
a general improvement in the
public roads. A good deal of
this betterment has been accom-
plished under the Shoemaker law
and much more by home enter
prise. Caroline is not the only
county on the Eastern Shore
which has prospered. in the last
two or three decades. In all Of
these counties, as well as in
many of those on the Western
Shore, there has been improve
ment in roads and better farm
ing. Farm. products are bring
ing more money now and the
farmers are in easier circum-
stances perhaps than ever before.
The public schools may have had
something to do with the better
conditions on the farm, for the
farmer is awakening to the value
of intelligence and progressive
methods in his calling. There
are few other callings in which
industry and brains can be en-
pIoyed to better advantage
