Farmers League of Maryland

A number Of years ago, the differen'
Agricultural Bodies of the State, real
lied among themselves, about the same
time, that many things could be accom-
plished for Agriculturists, If the differ
ent units could work through a central
organisation.
As a result of this, representatives
from a large number Of the Farmers
Clubs, Oranges, and other similar
bodies, met and formed the Farmers
League, an absolutely non political body
Its constitution and bylaws are free
and liberal.
1t is rather plan, than an existing
body. but where work is to be accom-
plished. the officers Of the League get
together in close touch with each unit
Of the League, and working as body,
have accomplished a great amount OF
good in forming opinions, and directing
Legislature, for the benefit Of the farm
ing community.
Each year, delegates from the pooles
that compose the League, meet in Balti-
more, and this year the meeting will be
held at Mccoy Hall, Johns Hopkins
University, Wednesday, February 5th,
at 1890 where matters relating to the
good of the farming community will be
talked over and developed.
=, Notices of this meeting are now being
sent out, calling on different Oranges,
Farmers Clubs, Horticultural and Ag1i-
cultural Societies, Seed Corn Breeders,
Tobacco Growers Association, ETC., to
appoint delegates to state what mat
tiers of interest, and benefit to the farm
ing community, should be brought be
fore the Legislature or Governor and
pushed to rightful conclusion.

road crossing at Riverdale, Prince
Georges county, Md, in which matter
your company has been notified to fur
nish better safe guards, and in which
at your suggestion, the County Com
missionsrs selected . disintested per-
son O observe conditions at that point
and report, you are informed that Mr..
J. W. F. Hatton, who was selected by
this Board to make the investigation,
has made an exhaustive report covering
his observations at the point named for
81 days. This report convinces the
Board tho system Of alarm bells at the
point named is defective and affords no
prote ctien to the public at that crossing
The Bo ard, therefore, requests that in
accordance with your proposition made
to them in October last you take i'm
med late steps to furnish better protec-
to tho public, and We believe this can
be done better by placing there system
of safety gates and . man to operate
them.

Too Many Diseased Cow.

In the eleventh report of the State
Veterinarian, which has recently been
issued by Dr. G.. Allen Jarman, CHIEF
veterinary inspector, attention is called
to the prevalence of tuberculosis among
the mich COWS of Maryland. This re-
port shows that the percentage OF
tuberculeus cattle in this State is much
greater than the average. On this point
the report says, in part:
The most serious and widespread dis
ease we have to contend with in this
State is tuberculosis. 1t is said that
the number of tuberculous animals in
the United States is about 2 per cent.
Whether this is true or not, as applied
to the United States, we cannot say,
but from information furnished by in
spectors at slaughtering points in
Maryland the percentage of tubercu-
losis in Maryland cows slaughtered is
nearer 90 per cent. These are practi-
callY all dairy COWS, or cows that have
been MIXED upon the farm. This is q
seriou matter, as aside from the dan
ger to human life. the loss from fnan-
cial standpoint is to be considered. All
cities and towns should exercise the
authority which they already have, and
require the testing by competent
veterinarian Of every dairy herd which
furnishes milk 10 these cities and towns
1t is sure to come, and the dairyman
that takes time by the forelock is the
one that will pro fit by it in the future
DR.. Jarman also says in his report
that unusual number of cases of CLAN
ders in horses have been encountered
in Baltimore and the country adjacent
to Washington, D. c., during the last
two years.

j. Enos Ray, Jr., the Man.

As Speaker of the House of Delegates
J. Enos Ray. Jr., is now man and as
Speaker he has done the most imper-
tantant duty that will devolve upon
him for the next 80 days-appointed
the committees in the House. 1t is these
committees that will whip into shape
the legislation by which the session of
1908 will 60 down in history, unless it
should do something to heap upon it
self some disgrace to ever-shadow all
it's accomplishments.
While Mr.. Ray is new man as
Speaker, he is by no means new as q
Legislator, for.he served in two sessions
prece ding the present one. During the
session of 1895 he was the floor leader
of the House.
The present Speaker is reserved

may be due to this fact that men feel as

when he chooses he can talk we'll
enough, but he prefers to listen. In
any event, he is always willing for
some one slse to do the talking. He

Speaker Ray has the reputation Of

RAILROAD CONTRACTOR
is SERIOUSLY HURT

w w. Hendricks, a member of the
Hendricks contracting firm, engaged
in construction work for the Western
Pacific railroad a few miles west OF
Wells, met with a frightful accident
| Monday morning that will leave him
manned for life, if it does not result
in his death.
The unfortunate man was engaged
in firing a heavy blast in a cut He
had filled a dridlled hole with giant
powder and had attached a fuse and
cap. While lighting the fuse he stood
with a box of giant caps between his
legs, the pressure Of the knees sup.
porting the box of caps. A spark.
caused by the ':spit' of the fuse.
communicated with the caps and in
stantly they exploded, the force of the
explosion. which was terrific, shatter-
ing his knees. Some of the flying
pieces of copper, of which the caps
were made. struck him in the face and
yves. completely destroying the use of
one eve, and so badly iniuring the
other that the sight has since left it.
The injured man was carried into
Wells late ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Wells late Monday afternoon, suffer
ing great agony. A physician was
Ill - -44--Io1 b. IL. r-n,u1s and
he was taken to Ogden on the night
train.
Mr.. Hendricks, who is a resident of
Richmond. Utah, has a wife and a
couple Of young children. He was
well thought of at Wells, being al
duties, and the shocking accident has
caused universal regret amonk his ac-
quaintances. The latest news from the
h~ispital where he is being treated, is
that there is no chance whatever of
the sight of either eye.
That he was not instantly killed and
his body blown to pieces is a mystery.
The force of the explosion of the
caps snuffed the fire from the fuse
attached to the giant, this fact alone
preventing the explosion of the pow
der. which would have undoubtedly
him. Persons acquainted with
the use of giant powder state that
the acct of holding the box Of caps
between the knees is a very careless
one. ard one which many idulge in.
The frightful accident that has be
fallen Mr.. Hendricks should serve as
/ warning to other powder men to be
more careful.

CONGRESS ADJoURNs.

A few minutes before II o'clock
Saturday night, May 80, the first SEES
sion of the 6lst congress adjourned
sine die.
The feature of the closing hours was
the attempt, led by Senator LaFollette
of Wisconsin, to defeat the emergency
currency bin by fillibustering tactics.
He took the floor sometime Friday
afternoon, holding it for nineteen con
secutive hours thus establishing a new
record, when he was relieved by other
senators who held the floor until SAT-
urday afternoon Evidently realizing
that they were playing a losing game,
the fillibusters then desisted, and at
4 O'Clock a roll call was taken, with
the result that the bill was passed
by the decisive vote of AZ to %.
The new law is intended to relieve
the money market in times of great
stringency by issuing currency based
upon the deposits with the secretary
of the treasury of railroad and other
securities named in the act. The need
of an elastic currency was felt during
the panic of last fall, when practi-
cally the business of the entire country
was being conducted on a clearing
house certificate basis.
The law is of an experimental ma
ture, and criticism of its utility should
be reserved until after it is given a
fair trial.

But the next thing to do was the To-

But the little widow was brave
enough for any emergency. She
pitched in with pick and shovel, and
by working for weeks and finally hir

the holes dug and finally all the
ground was recorded, this time as the
