TRUSTEES FoR THE INSANE.

Meeting Of the fsoard ut Farnhurst on
Thursday Last-An Overcrowded In
stitutlon.
The regular meeting of the Board of
Trustees for the Insane was held at

of the board at its last meeting DR.

animation of the patients In the insti-

who were not subjects for hospital treat.
ment He thought 26 inmates could be

The matter was referred TO d special

EAsToN, MD, March DIR. Isaac A.
Barber, who has been engaged in the
manufacture of flour from native wheat
in Talbot county for several years, has
demonstrated that this is a branch Of
manufacturing industry that can be
proiitably and successfully carried on
here. The expansion Of his business
year by year has gone on until he has
now three steam roller process mills
one in Easton, one In ST. Michael's and
one on the Easton Point road. These
mills have a capacity Of nine barrels of
flour an hour. They run "a hours six
days in the week. The product is
largely consumed at home, and the
farmers get more for their wheat at
these mills than they do IN the general
market. Talbot wheat has been celc-
brated for years.
II has also been proved that the
creamery business can be successfully
prosecuted here. The Easton Creamery
Company has made money, and the
creamery is unable to supply the de-
mand for its products. Mr.. Joseph b.
Harrington, its superintendent and
largest stakeholder, in connection with
Mr.. Joseph A. Wilson of Queen Anne's
county, has bought u creamery at Queen
Anne's station, on the Delaware s.
Chesapeake railroad, which will be run
in connection with the Easton creamery.
Flour makers and butter makers in
Talbot are not complaining much about
the hard times.
