Why Not 2

1t is not unlikely that at some not very dis
tant day the Baltimore and Reisterstown turn
pike will be converted into a grand boulevard
from Baltimore to Gettysburg. By small
expenditure of money the grade could be
changed and the roadway made equal to the
one proposed from Washington to Baltimore,
by way of the Frederick turnpike. If some
OF the wealthy bicycle manufacturing com
panies would take hand in the enterprise
and the Wheelmen's League would join in,
it would be the best road in the country for
bcyclers There is no finer scenery in the
same distance, about 80 miles, and with a
roadbed of an average width of slxtysix feet
an electric railroad could also be built, which,
no doubt, would be paying investment
Already there is considerable talk about ex-
tending the electric railroad from Pikesville
to Reisterstown, and if it is built to the latter
place it will not be long before it is extended
to Westminster.

Dead Horse Cases.

John H. Hollinger, near Shaucks Mill, in
Woolery's district, was on Thursday held by
Justice G. W. CraPster in the sum of 500,
for the action of the grand jury in maintaining
a nuisance on his premises, by keeping an
unburied dead horse upon his premises. A
large number of witnesses were summoned to
prove the fact. DIR. j. Fl. Billingslea, Health
Officer for Carroll, had notified Hollinger TO
bury the carcass, but he thought he was boss
of his own premises.
Hollinger was given hearing on the same
day before Justice Moore on the charge of
cruelty to animals. The prosecuting wit
nesses, who were his neighbors agreed, with
the consent of the Magistrate and States
Attorney, to stet the case, providing Hollinger
buried a horse which he had left lying in the
road for some time.
A case of assault, growing out of the same
transaction, preferred by Hollinger against
Roper Murphy and Frank Shauck, was also
settled by Hollinger Withdrawing the charge.

A Hint to Farmers.

Isn't it great mistake for farmers to crowd
all their stock, farming implements, proven
der and grain into their barns, so that il the
barn takes fire the flames destroy every
thing at one fell swoop? Wouldn't it be bet
ter to have hay, straw and fodder under bar
racks at safe distance from the buildings.
And would it not be better to have horses
and cattle housed in a stable separate from
the barn? In word is it prudent and eeono-
mical TO build large and costly barns and
store them with the most inhammable mate
rial, so that the structure and contents may
be reduced to ashes. In view of the many
and heavy losses sustained by farmers by fires,
this is matter worthy of con sideration.
