More Slop-Fed Cows.-Members OF the
Milk Dealers Protective Association, at their
meeting last night at Raine's Hall, stated that
they are holding out in their fight against the
Producers Association and the trust and are
getting all the milk they want. 1t was stated
at the meeting that since the milk war started
the milk producers near thecity whofeed their
cows on swill slop have increased the number
of COWS and are sending into the city more of
this kind of milk than before The dealers
say this is what is hurting the milk business
more than anything else. as the swill slop
feeders can sell milk much cheaper than can

The Anti-Fox. Chase Edict.--The Balti-
more american says President Hubner, of
the Maryland Senate, is opposed to fox-chas-
ing, when it causes him to face the difficult
problem of majority Says Mr.. Hub
ner: we have bare constitutional majority
in the Senate, and if Democratic neck is
broken we will be helpless to pass even a nom
partisan school BILL Mr.. Hubner is probably
right. Better that the willy fox should go to
his lair unchased better that the brush should
wave in freedom with all its natural attach
ments, than that the Democratic majority in
the Senate should be disturbed. Mr.. Hubner,
however, has more mercy for the fox than he
has for the members of the lower branch, for
he intimates that they may go on al the fox
chases they like, and if one or two of them
fall by the wayside they will not be missed.
ut might be well for Mr.. Hubner to keep
his eye on his precious majority, for this world
holds other dangers than the mad and reckless
fox chase or the pursuit of the anise-seed bag.
If Mr.. Hubner is as intent on preserving DEM
ocratic supremacy in the Senate as his anti
fox-chase edict intimates, he should also inter-
dict the riding on street cars or railway trains,
riding in elevators and the taking Of any risks
whatever. 1t might be we'll to scrutiniZe the
Senator'S diet closely, for many great states
man has lost his vote by the fishbone route.
and it might be that the integral continuity of
the Democratic majority would be shattered
by some unsupported ptomaines in the tempt
ing mince pie or the Annapolis ice cream.
Unless Mr.. Hnbner is insincere in this effort to
maintain the majority, he will take steps TO
guard against such contingencies or he will
be written down as an unpatriotic enemy of
the fox-chase."

Necker, 18th District.-The heavy snow
of last week drifted so badly in places as to
block up some of the roads and travellers had
to take to the fields When the market peo-
pie returned from the city on Saturday night
they were highly pleased to find a clear road
from Putty Hill to Germantown, due to the
thoughtfulness of Mr.. Joseph Snyder, who
cleared it with a snow pillow and six-horse
team.
Mr.. Farley Winkler cut away number of
trees that were blown across the roads during
the late storm.
On Saturday last Mr.. John Pfeiffer buried

attack of pneumonia at his home in Dulany's
Valley.
The heavy fall of snow of last week was the
first of the winter to make any sleighing and
it was enjoyed to the utmost by those who had
sleighs. The roads were drifted badly in
places and at one time il looked as if it might
be repetition of last February's blizzard.
A few evenings ago MI. and Mrs. Chas. E. Bur-
ton, of Baldwin, gave supper to few friends

Knoeble, 10th District.-The merry jng-
ling of sleighbells greeted our ears several days
the past week. The storm which passed over
this section, accompanied by heavy snowfall
and high winds, caused drifts to form in some
places to the depth of 10 or Is feet, but these
did not deter the venturesome young man
from enjoying spin over 1.-THE beautiful"
If it is permitted l would like to mention
the deplorable condition of the road leading
from Knoeble to Hyde's. A large majority of
the milk-shippers who patroniZe that station
travel that thoroughfare and it is due them
that it should be made at least passable. The
farmer pays the taxes and should by all means
be given good roads over which to haul his
with relatives and friends IN Baltimore.

Extensive improvements by the North
ern Central.-The expensive Improvements
inaugurated by the Northern Central Railway
Company last year are TO be continued this
year, and TO carry out the plans of the man
agement the sum of $500, 600 has been trans
ferred to the extraordinary expenditure fund
to be used in further improving the companys
terminal at Baltimore. Last year the compa-
ny expended in this city more than $40, 600 in
the purchase of real estate and the erection OF
an additional hay warehouse on Monument
street and of storage warehouse on Browns
wharf These warehouses are among the larg-
est in the city. They are thoroughly fireproof
and are equipped with every facility. The
yard space of the company has also been in
creased and further improvement in this d.
rection will be made this year. The business
of the Northern Central Railway Company
has been steadily growing for the past few
years and until last year the facilities of the
company have not kept pace with the increase
in its business. With the $4,000 expended
last year and the 5000, 900 appropriated for i'm
provements to be made this year the company
will have expended in about two years total
of nearly three-quarters of million in termi'

Fork, 18th District-Fork Building AS
ISOLATION has elected Mr.. w. o. b. wright .
director and treasurer, to take the place OF nj
Charles A. Benson, who recently removed to
Baltimore. Mr.. John Arthur, who had been
q director and president since the association
was started, until two weeks ago when Mr..
Charles G. Snavely was elected president, has
sent in his resignation as director. his letter
of resignation covered five sheets of paper.
The affairs of the association have always been
in good shape and often several hundred dol
lars are received during the week, represent
ing the savings of those who would otherwise
spend what they now Systematically save.
Mr. Arthur Clay ton has rented the Anthony
Lindsay farm, near this place. He has, with
his brother Elwood, rented for several years
the Gedds farm, at Greenwood.
Mr.. d. A. Harlan, who has been confined
to his bed for several days, is improving and
able to be down stairs
Mr.. John NJ. Griffith, of the Griffith & Tur-
ner Company, who owns the Armstrong farm,
near this place, has gone to Florida for the
benefit of bis health. He says if he improves
the first month he will remain three months.
Some of the members of the United Milk
Producers Association are very enthusiastic
over its success, especially with the recent
purchase of the Ice Palace on North avenue.
There is talk of putting in plant for condens-
ing milk, as there is no reason why Baltimore
should not have such an establishment. The
location would be most suitable for market
for butter, eggs and poultry, as it is accessible
from the Hartford, York and Reisterstown
pixies and all lines of cars transfer to or pass
within square of it.
Six members of Fork NJ. E. Church are now
attending school in Baltimore They are Miss
Gertrude Gorsuch and Elmer Halle, Guy
Snavely. Frank Wright, Berlin Wright and
Lawrence NJ. Riddle. Some go back and forth
daily. If the electric line was continued to
this place from the smile hill it would be
great incentive to travel.
The long distance telephone line has been
extended from Fork to Baldwin Station. on the
BALTIC. & Lehigh r. R., and from thence to the
residences of Mr.. w. s. G. Williams and DIR.
John S. Green, total distance of about five
miles.
Mr.. Frank Kearney, supervisor of the 18th
district, is piking part of the road from Fork
to Baldwin. This is needed very much, il be-
