BOWERS.

Several farmers In this vicinity have spo-
ken to your correspondent In regard to the
statement in last weeks CHRONIoLE, that
there is danger OF anthrax in feeding the hay
from the meadows 10 their horses and cattle
Veterinarians claim that fre Kills the germs
Of anthrax, and as all farmers burn OF their
meadows In the spring, this should undoubt-
edly kill all germs OF the anthrax, providing
no cattle AFFLICTED with the disease have been
allowed to pasture, or providing no high
tides have covered the meadows after burn
ing on they'll farmers, claim they cannot
understand why it is not safe to use the hay
as no high tides have been over the meadows
in this vicinity. We believe every farmer
shoulQ be allowed 70 use his own judgment
whether to feed the hay or not, and persons
who buy this hay should feel perfectly safe
IN using it,providing the farmer OF whom be
buys it, feeds It 30 his own stock. AS quite
number Of Delaware farmers receive con-
siderable money from the sale Of this hay, It
has no doubt unintentionally caused them
considerable loss by the publication Of the ar
tlcle in your paper
