mostly in Wilmington is in regard to
the milk. There IS no milk inspector,
a mistake, no doubt, for town of
10000 inhabitants"
DR.. Black then inquired Of DIR. Ewes
if he knew of Newport milk being
shipped to Wilmington.
DR.. lGyes--'I have been very careful
in asking about through the farms. 1
don't think any milk is sent from the
affected farms to Wilmington, but do
not know"
Both Dr. Shortlidge and Dr. Springer
expressed themselves as extremely 80
licitous in regard to any products from
the infected herds of Newport escaping
70 Wilmington and reaching the markets
there.
DIR. Springer-"Dr. Shortlidge and
came out as members of the Board of
Health to know what ground we stand
on"
DIR. Black-"I hardly think anyone
would sell milk or carcasses of anthrax"
Rev. Mr. Mowbray-''Is there any
danger to the drinking water 7"
DIR. Black-"There would be if the
animals are not buried deep enough.
The proper idea is to destroy all YOU
can"
DIR. NEALE FOR THE FARMERS.
"Just one word may be said here. Un-
doubtedly the farmers of this neighbor-
hood have acted very unselfishly
throughout the whole matter They
stopped Immediately sending away their
products. For this they deserve the
greatest credit They have lost several
cattle and the products from their large

thanks of the community for their care
full action.
Zone of the promising signs Of the
times is that we can govern better by
public opinion than by law"
Dr. Neae reminded the audience that
cremation has been accomplished in
the cutting up of two cows in the pres
ence of 200 farmers. The practical diff
Guilty in anthrax is to find out who will
saw up the body. The fear of contagion
is too great in the present circumstances.
The speaker was most in favor of burn
ing. The funeral pyre should be made
OF railroad sleepers SIS feet. In the case
he referred to the cremation was com
plete in three or four hours and that
while heavy rain storm was passing
over Next morning there was nothing
left of the two carcasses but little bone
ash
The cows body cannot be cremated
without dismembering it. The danger
in cutting up is very great,
DR. Black-"What will we do with
the animal that dies in the field ~
DIR. Ewes thought it best not to move
the body Burn it if you can in the
place it fell. If not, bury ii there Il
practicable, with at least five feet of
earth above which must be level with
the neighboring soil.
Mr.. Holcomb expressed himself as
very much depressed over what he had
heard and what the outlook appears TO
be. The farmers might as well give up
their farms ii the matter is as bad as
stated. He had heard of dry murrain as
common in the lower part Of the Penin-
| sula. In regard to cremation he wanted
to know whether incineration or roast
ing is sufficient.
IT KILLED BUzzARD.
Dr. BIack-"I think you are taking a
| too discouraging view. Certainly we
have anthrax with us. 1t don't hurt
dogs. Somebody has been finding
| buzzarC. dead. Anything that will kill
buzzard should he treated with un-
qualified respect" Laughter
