Diseased Cattle.

Last week we announced that conta-
gious or communicable disease had broke n
out among the cattle in the vicinity Of Eel
ton and Milford. Governor Biggs upon the
receipt of the intelligence Immediately wrote
Secretary Rusk of the Agricultural Depart
ment for veterinary surgeon. Mr.. Rusk
sent DR.. Wray to the locality and the fol-
lowing is his'report to the Governor:
To the Hon. B. r. Biggs, Governor of Del
aware: Sir: Pursuant to orders received from
Hon. ]. NJ. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, I
have made an investigation of the cattle dis
ease in the neighborhcod OF FELTON, and
Milford, Kent Co., Del. found several
herds affected with nou-contagious disease
that attacks the digestive organs, skin and
teats. As the malady is comparatively a
new one, the cause at present Is unknown.
The majority of the animals have been pas
tured on young clover in fields that formerly
contained wheat. would respectfully re-
commend in all cases to change the pasture
or confine the diseased animals in the
pounds or stables. As constipation is the
first symptom, give all animals so affected
one quart of linseed oil with sloppy drinks,
to each bucket of slop give one large hand
ful of salt. Ifthe teat become sore or ul-
GERS break out on the skin dress the part so
affected with carbolized vaseline,

''At the October term of the Kent county
court it required three judges, the attorney
general and his deputy, twelve jureTs ,tweuty.
three grand jurors, six bailifs, the crier OF
the court, the sheriff and his deputy and two
other bailiffs to convict a man for stealing
one cents worth of feed. The costs to the
county in this case aggregated nearly SIoo.
Other petty cases were similarly tried -
Sentinel.
This is fair statement Of what happens at
almost every session ofthe court It often
costs $Ioo to try the case of man charged
with stealing a setting hen, and old hat or
pair Of shoes; but there is no law under
which a thief who steals $4,000 from mis-
creditors, as J. A. Harris recently did, can
be punished. A charge could not have been
made out against Harris, as infringing any
law on our statue books, had he not re-
moved goods covered by a chattle-mortgage.
Can any sane man and good citizen deny
that we need a new constitution by which
our judiciary may be thoroughly revised1
But agreeing that the wrong exists will do
no good unless votes are cast for reform.

The proceedings of the Fifteenth Annual
Teachers Institute of Sussex County held
at Georgetown last week, drew together
about one hundred teachers. At two clock
ON Wednesday the meeting was called to
order by Supt j. H. Ward, and the annual
elention Of officers held, which resulted as
follows
President. Superinte- l--is, enriched with
vice.ptes;, aid -porttI8ltnt James II. Ward
s,rill fa-.,sde mt, I. T. Coverdale, of Milton
secretary, Miss Jodie Sheppard, assistant sec
retary, Miss Matte Morris. The roll was
then called, ninety.hve teachers responding.
Alfred Higgins, principal of the FrankfOrd
public school, addressed the Institute in an
entertaining manner upon How to Conduct
Recitations"
S. c. AtheIton. of Greenwood, continued
the subject for several minutes, after which
the subject was discussed by the different
teachers.
Miss Flora Corkran read an interesting
paper upon Primary Teaching"
Miss Annie Wint then took up the sub.
iect, and divided it into three parts the
mental, physical and moral training. Then
the question was discussed by Messrs. Col
Inns, Tunnel, Conoway and others.
The Institute met at 8 p. m. and listened
to a solo by Miss Ollie Pepper. After the
reading fthe previous minutes the roll was
called, over one hundred teachers respond.
ing, after which Miss Annie Purnell sang
solo.
Superintendent l.. Irving Handy, of Kent

a good delivery.

tute adjourned until Thursday morning.
Thursday and Fridays session was carried
out according to the program previously an

Farmers Institute Proceedings.

r The Sussex County Farmers Institute, o
which we spoke editorially last week, was S,
full of interest that the following briefout
line Of its proceedings will be of interest, by
giving an idea Of the discussions
The meeting was called to order Tuesda,
afternoon by Vice-President Paynter Frams
in the absence, on account OF sickness, o.
President c. c. Stockley. Hon. (. L. Mar
tin, of Seaford, first addressed the Institute
He spoke of the objects of the meeting and
dwelt at some length upon the subject OF
drainage. He said he would cut every mill
dam in Sussex county and issue 20 year
bonds on the county in order to pay the
owners. In 10 years the increase value of
the land would pay both principal and in
terest.
Col. Martin was followed by Dr. J. P Rob
erts, director ofthe Agricultural Experiment
Station at Cornell University, New York.
DR.. Roberts subject was "Recuptrative Ag-
riculture, " which he handled very ably and
thoroughly. The one great idea around
which the whole speech centred was the
value of animals as producers of fertility. He
spoke highly Of cotton seed meal as a fertil-
izer, and said that bran that he could bSy for
$II per ton, was worth S. per ton as manure
after fed to animals Animals were profta-
Bile other ways when properly cared for He
knew of cows that paid 800 per cent Ami
mails should be sheltered and have warm
water in winter. A good COW ought to have
100 pounds of water day. The secret of
agriculture is to get the refuse matter on the
fields.
The DOCTORS subject at the evenings ses-
sion was Drainage" He preferred the
tile drain to the surface ditch. Big bitches
or canals are sometimes necessary as outlets
for drains, but bitches should never be used
i'll the place of drains. He illustrated his |
points on the blackboard and showed that /
he was thorough master ofhis subject. He
said that with tile drain you could even /
make water run up hill. He asserted that
we have either got to drain our land in Sus.
sex or move out.
W. P. Corsa said we ought to manufacture
tile in Delaware.
Col. +. L. Martin gave an instance where
tile drain in field had removed the water
in road far away. At the Wednesday mort.
ing session of the Institute, the question.
How shall we render worn-out land fer.
-ile ?" was discussed. DR.. Roberts said the
common red clover is the best restorer of
ertility in the soil. Mix a little alsike
clover with the red clover, as it will fre.
luently grew where red will not.
At the afternoon session the question of
he use of lime was discussed. W. w. Mar
sROwG: 7. Pepper, S. Harrington lMfIgssjsk
sn9rts will be ~----;-' Co
md DR.. Roberts took part in the discussion
Silo was also discussed and Dr. Roberts
hought that ten head ofcattle or their equiv.
llent would justify the building of a silo.
By request of Dr.. c. H. Richards, DR.. Rob
,rts also talked on the subject of horse rails
ng The Institute adjourned on Wednes-
lay afternoon.

CLEARLY it IL the duty Of The Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at New
ark To follow up tile most excellent
ideas OF DR.. T.. T. Roberts, of Cornell
n. Y, expressed before the Farmers
Institute at Georgetown, on drainage,
by devising ways and means for carry
ing those ideas in effect for the benefit
OF that part of tie State of Delaware
known AS the backbone" between
the two watersheds of the Peninsula.
The present ditch order system MS now
ia operation should he abolished, and
the Legislature appoint civil engin-
ser 10 give the gr.des Tor drain canals
into which lateral bitches should lead,
and into which individuals could
drain, or be compelled to drain. Doe
this appear to be u vast and extensive
enterprise? We answer, the ditch
taxes of the State of Delaware that are
now practically wasted, make II vast
sum, ana one that is continually recuI-
ring. In Iowa where the great 0niOl,
crops are grown, the State and cOun-
ties supervised by competent engin
GERS, the draining of the lauL, and fire. |
quently the tile drain tax amounts to
ten dollars per acre; and that land WAS
before drainage no better than land
now covered with water on the line of
She Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
Railroad, between Ellendale anu
Georgetown. What Delaware needs Is
not more money spent, but that the
money now expended be disbHrsed in
. amannerthat will bring better results.
1t is certainly the business of the Ex-
perinIental Station to see that ways
and means are devised to carry this
project of drainage into effect in Della
ware, aud steps toward this end should
be taken at once.
