W. I'lipiT Hencl llufarv tho Horticultural Society nt llurlln. At the last meeting of the Peninsula horticulturists, Mr. Korr, of this place, read tho following paper "For fourteen ycais past apples have boon annually reported upon at the meetings cf i society. Every feature of tho propagation 'of the trees in nurseries; their culture and care in orchard; their diseases and insect enemies, including best and most effective methods of combating and oradic.vtiug these; soils best adapted; sites most desirable; varieties most profitable, both domostical- ly and eonmieruially; the best methods oE gathering and storing, marketing.

the most attractive and economical packages, with innumerable protestations against dofraud- ug our fellow men by deceptive methods in packing. In short, so frequently and thoroughly has the subject been discussed that it is impossible, at i enlightened period iu its history, to talk or write much concerning apples without falling nto very uninteresting commonplace, or engaging in repetition such as bores the best-naturcil brand of listeners. People do not all learn or do alike, simply because people are unlike. Hash Incomes nauseating by a too frvquoncy. This applies as forcibly to mind as to I do not desire to bore you, nor siokon yon mentally with apple jash, but a report must be taado, otherwise the written und unwritten aws of this society are not properly respected as thoy should bo.

Paren- it is much easier to follow well-defined groove than to make new ono, that is if the groove is not too badly worn. Practically, I know of nothing new that is worth reporting to you. Newspaper rumor puts it that Wellhouse, of Kansas, received $18,000 for his apple crop this year, and that Coombs has an apple crop worth tho deponent 'nrther states that it was not a good yonrforapples in that locality, either. This, if true, is important, and teaches us the moral that if wo wish to develop 'tho root of all evil' by apple growing, education in that lino comes nhenpor in tho land of cayotes and grasshoppers than elsewhere. 3uch remarkable achievements as the above will doubtless stimulate Peninsula, growers to a more inflexible adherence to the newer gospels affecting tho primary principles of successful orcharding.

You all know liow loudly some of the Western salons proclaimed against the piece- root system of propagating apples; aud now tho East, in order to even up mutters, has its wisdom-burdenod horticultural evangelists busy preaching 'tree breeding' ns the only true and light to follow. To estimate accurately tho valuo of these astounding revelations it is only m-e- essary to remember that men of the sniuo east of mind and intelligence have frequently figured out to ly wlu'ii tho good old cnrth would dissolve a i i i all of us nnd go up in smoke simply errms of judgment that have to be remaiidi-d back to tho lower courts for another trial. Don't oven, that I objct-t to experimenting. I advocate it, nnd practice it to an that is to my finauc'ml disadvantage. Whnt is (ib- jectiouable is Ihe growing tendency to herald results nheiid of experiments.

Itallroail Extension Pruposoil. The Centreville Record of Saturday astsaid: "The Lovo Point extension of the Queen Anne's Railroad is ex- petced to befnllycorapletedand in op- ration within two weeks. It is learned on gcod authority that the proposed extension to Easton, Trappy and the hoptank river, opposite Combridge, will then receive the attention of the railroad officials. "In addition, it is understood that he business men of Salisbury, Snow rlill and Cliincotcague are agitating he question of inducing the Queen Anne's Railroad to Imild a further extension to their towns. The matter linn been brought to the attention the railroad pffioiuls aud is being seriously considered by them.

The imposed extension wonld leave the mniii line of tho Queen Anne's Railroad at a point between Denton and the Delaware line. It would go di- oetly south to Federalsburg. From Federnlsburg it would ruu to Salisbury. From Salisbury to Snow Hill. From SHOW Hill it would to its terminus, which would be a poiut near tho Virginia line, uut far from Chincoteaguu Inland.

to OjHtur Tiix to Itou.N Ihe llneru Antte'H. Tho Legislature mot Tuesday even i and i a number of impor- ant measures, prepared during the recess, wero introduced at that session. Tho members have apparently buckled down to dead earnest work. Senator Bryan introduced two bills rcpared by tlio State Gamo Association to amend tho fish law; also ills to amend tho corporation law and the divorce laws. The President, recognizing tho complexity of views on tho subject of game and fish, and their culmina- ion into bills of widely divergent iharaeter, appointed a standing coui- uittee on fish aud game, as follows: Senator Williams, Rohrback, Bryan, Jetmis and Dixon.

In the House, Delegate White, of Wicomico, introduced a bill provid- ng that ono United States Senator elected from the Eastern Shore and one from the Western Shore. i is the same law that wns in effect 1890, whcu the Republicans were control in tho Legislature, nnd re- oaled by them. Tho Democrats oliovo that this division of the Scn.t- ors is just and it is believed thnt the measure will pass. Delegate Pentz introduced a bill 0 appropiiate $10,000 to assist tho Society of tho "War of 1812 in erect- ng a ou North Point bat- le ground, lo tho memory of the de- endcrs. Delegate Leathorbiiry introduced a ill to do away with hanging for capital crimes, and havo the cxecu- ions take place at the State peni- entiary, by electricity, and to be attended only by a required number of rynion, and the family of the condemned person.

Mr. B. Howard Hainan, a promi- Baltimore attorney, who ha.s pven much thought to the matter of promoting various interests of tho State, has prepared two bills that he says are in the interests of farmers and packers. They seem to be more 'ar-reaching than the author claims, ouching an important industry directly and tho prickers and farmers ncidentally. Tho first bill provides 'or the introduction of a general sys: cm of oyster culture, under whiuh ho natural oyster beds which Ho beneath tbe Chesapeake bay and its ributaries will be left to the pnblic, as nt present, and the now barren jottoms of the same waters will be eased to individuals in tracts not exceeding 300 acres.

Farmers owning and adjacent to waters fit for "oyster culture will be given tbe first right to lease land nudersuoh waters. Then boatmen actually engaged, when the law is passed, in the oyster jusiness, will be given the second choice. After this the citizens of the State generally will be given the of selecting tracts of land For oyster culture. Sueh a law, be thinks, would produce to the State in cash every year from $300,000 to $300,000 It would nlsi, according to prudent estimates, trelilo Iho present supply of oysters. The second bill provides (hat the revenues rising from tho general oyster a i law slnill bo applied, under, tho cnve- ful supervision of competent persons tn making and repairing tho roads thioiighont the State.

Senator Kirwan, introduced a authorizing the Queen Anne's Railroad Company to capital stock, not to i'scer-d $3,000,000, and the right to consolidate with connect- iog or intersecting railways, uml the power to issue mortgage bonds to an amount not pscecding $30,000 i upon its whole lino of railway ally completed and constructed. Tho bill is for the purpose of enabling the company to extend its lines and enlarge its system generally.
