THE HORSE-RAOISH INDUSTRY.

It Is quite a Profitable Venture to One
Citizen of Wilmington at Least.
When such little bit of horse
radish will almost strangle one, and
cause the tears to start, how many
tears patch an acre in extent would
cause to flow, is beyond imagination.
When one sees the roots displayed on
the wagons OF farmers and truckers he
can imagine small patch of nasturtium
armoraciain damp part Of the kitchen
garden, but one can scarcely realize q
whole acre oil the acrid root under Gull
tivation. Nothing else will grow near
it, because it ia a good deal like the
onions Uncle Joeh tells about They
were planted In the same hills with
potatoes, but the onions got into the
eyes OF the potatoes and they could not
see TO grow. Horse -radish crowds every
thing else out.
Along the Brandywne, at the foot Of
Walnut street. there is an acre of horse
radish, that shows vigorous growth,
and II no untimely freshet occurs it
will make some large roots.
Peter Il. Boyer Of No. 1888 French
street is the owner OF the patch, and
from early spring when the ground was
made ready, by throwing two burrows
toward each other with pillow, and the
roots planted by mn ingenious arrange
ment of Mr.. Boyer's, until the fall and
winter when he begins to dig and grind
the root he watches the growth and
contemplates the SUCCESS OF his crop.
A present it is growing nicely.
Mr.. Boyer has made machine for
grinding both cocoanut and horse
radish after his own ideas, and it Is
clever piece of workmanship. He has
never had it patented, as he contends
1t would cost too much to have this
done, and when vendors can get along
with cheaper machine they wouldn't
pay the price for one so elaborate. In
punching the grategs, he has carried
out the plan on scientific basis, and
while the CRATER for cocoanut makes
shreds or strips, the other grinds the
horse-radish fine.
While it,nay seem AN insignificant
matter to grow horse radish, and sell it
in 5-cent lots, when 1t comes to raising
and grinding OF SO large quantity, as
Mr.. Boyer has half acre 10 another
place, it becomes quite o job, aud 10
grind the roots grown on Is acres OF
ground means something, and nice
sum OF money is the result, and IL
also shows to what an extent the cit-
zens of Wilmington use this root as
condiment.

THE DANGER BELIEVED TO Be PAST

The fatal disease among cattle known
as anthrax, which threatened to be-
come epidemic in New Castle county,
has been stamped out entirely, and
there Is not case in the whole State.
This report was made Thursday by
Hon. james n. Shallcross OF Middle.

animals which died of the disease we're

cases and oil of the affected cattle died.
In oruer to prevent the spread OF the
disease, all cattle In the vicinity where
IL existed were inooulated, which proved
very successful. Nearly all of the cases
we're In Blaokbird hundred. There
were. three in Appoquinimink. The
members of the Board of Agriculture
and Veterinarian Mcdowell kept a
close watch on all cattle in the affected
districts, and as 10 days have elapsed
sinoe the last affected animal died and
no cases have been reported within
that time, there is every reason TO he

all danger is past. However, the vigil

Concerning a report that meeting
OF farmers had been called to discuss
the matter of stamping out the disease,
Mr., Shallcross says no knows OF no
such movement. Such meeting would
avail very little without the CO opera-
ton OF the Board of Agriculture, and
as the board has not been advised of
the. meeting, it is believed none will
be he'd. As matter of fact, accord
Ing to Mr.. Shalloross, 1t IS not neces,

stated, as he believes the object has
been fully accomplished.
This will be welcome news for the
farmers all over the State, and, in fact,
all over the Peninsula, as az ons time
there was an impression that the dis
ease might assume alarming proper
