Numerous stories of persons. once

Gently deserted wife with four tiny

a perfect storm of sympathy. AT the
time, the association was working TO

she told the association investigator
that she intended to open a rooming
house with the money.
Scores OF similar cases are noted.

The Farmers and the Canadian Re.
cipr0city Treaty.
rom the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun
The Westminster (Md) Sentinel, a
Republican newspaper, thinks, or
processes to think, that The Sun has
modified its position with respect to
the Canadian reciprocity measure and
i'm now ready to admit that it iswrong.
Such is not the case. The Sun has
said all along that the agreement was
unfair to the farmers in this country
i'm principle, but that in its practical
application it would not hurt them,
because the farm products to be sent
into the United States from Canada
will be OF such negligible quantity
that they can have no effect on prices.
The Sun and the Democrats generally
accept the reciprocity agreement sim
ply as a step in the right direction ;
an acknowledgement upon the part of
the leader of the Republican party,
and his closest friends and followers,
that protection as applied by the
Payne-AldrichT Tariff 1awGs wrong, and
thatthe Democratic contention for freer
trade is right The Democrats, how
ever, do not propose to stop with the
Canadian Reciprocity bill.
The Democratic Congressman who
are to be members OF the Committee
on Ways and Means are already at
work preparing bills that will strike
az the roots Of the protection evil, and
that Will carry out the Democratic
principles OF tariff for revenue only,
with special favors to no class or in
terest. 1t is amusing to see papers
that swear by every schedule in the
Payne-Aldrich law VIGOROUSLY unfair
to the agricultural element in all its
parts, protesting such great interest
i'm and love for the farmer at this par
ticular time. 1t will get them moth
ing in the way OF confidence or re-
spect. The farmers of the country
know their friends, and they have
given over looking for them among
the supporters of the Payne-A1drich
law and the protective policy general

DYNAMITE in
FARM WORK.
EXPERIMENTS AIT The AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.
Explosive Used in Clearing Land,
Digging bitches, SubsOlllng and
Making Tree Holes.

Experiments in clearing lands, dig
gine bitches, subscribing and making
rec holes by the use Oh dynamite In
s+ead of by the usual manual labor
processes, were conducted at the
MARYLAND Experiment Station, College
park Monday For several hours the
surrounding country was aroused by
rhe blasts. Details of the experiment
we're arranged by +. ii. Brinkley, farm
sunerintendent at the station, and the
exhibition was witnessed by a crowd
IF several hundred, including officials
of the Maryland Agricultural College,
experiment station and farmers from
the neighborhood. Professor OF Agri-
culture w. r. ". Taliaferro had class
OF "a young men who are taking a
short course i'm agriculture, to witness
The experiments The weather con-
ditions were unfavorable, and much
care had to be exercised In handling
the dynamite, owing to the liability
of the explosive becoming chilled.
W. l.. Chapman, demonstration for
the DUPONT Powder Company, Of VIII
mington, had charge OF placing the
dynamite and its discharge. Five
large stumps were torn up by the
ing selected. a black oak stump, 40
inches in diameter, required the use
Of 20 sticks of dynamite, or 10 pounds,
and nearly half of the stump was
blown a distance Of over 60 yards,
leaving a hole z feet deep and about
eight feet IL diameter.
The blasting of stumps took place
in field several acres square, located
north of the college buildings, in the
rear Of the poultry farm. The land
is low and sWampy, and the spectators
were compelled to stand nearly2 hours
in the mud and water
The digging Of a ditch 80 feet long,
four feet deep and six feet wide proved
an interesting spectacle. This eXhi-
bition took place in the field west of
the college. This ditch was opened
yintermittent explosions Of dynamite,
the sticks being placed in the ground
Several feet apart The dynamite for
subsoiling was placed 8 feet i'm the
ground, and the earth was disinteg-
rated for about six feet on all sides
without disturbing the surface OF the
ground. This subsoiling means that
the ground is practically plowed
feet underground, condition which
usually results from several years
cultivation Of the soil.
The making of tree holes was ex-
ceptionally interesting. Holes are
bored three feet, and the earth il
loOsened for three feet in all direc-
tons It is claimed that trees plant
ed in these holes will show more
growth in two years than trees plant
Cd in holes dug by hand will show in
four or five years.

On account of so many of the

last week in the columns of this

We are very sorry that we were
not able to get up this day which
would afforded the farmers a
good day for trading and also
have furnished a good crowd for
the merchants. We hope. how
ever to be able to pull this day
off in the near future.
1t is the purpose of this paper
to do all the good it can for both
the farmer and merchant and
we heartily believe that such a
day would have been profitable
to both. besides furnishing a day
that all could have come together

of the history of the United
States. by Willard. which she
d j scov cred a few days ago
while rummaging through an old
chest that had not been opened
for over 18 years.
The front fly leaf bears the
following, written in Roman
letters with q crude pen, David
Dodd Book" and it is supposed
that the famous boy hero who
was executed here during the
war the owner of it.
This book, among others in the
old chest, was the property of
Miss Johnson,s father. who died
l8 years ago, and who packed
the chest during his lifetime.
Mrs. Johnson. Miss Laurine's
mother, recalls the story OF the
execution of the boy martyr as
told her by a Mr.. Dow e, d
Yankee" as expressed by her
who witnessed the hanging.
The story impressed me very
much," said Mrs. Johnson, "and
/ was in sympathy with Mr..
