zone of the successful industries is that of
raising Berkshire hogs and large numbers are
sold besides the needs of the hospital in meat
and lard are met. 1t was noticed that much care
was exercised in feeding them, as the waste pro-
duct of the hospital is boiled and the fat skim
med before feeding is done. Since Mr.. Lea has
been careful in this he has lost but few If any
hogs.
1.-THE vaccination of calves against tubercu-
losis was done, and those present were impress
edwith its importance as it renders calves inn
mune to the disease.
"The farming and stock raising proved first
class application of care and intelligence on the
| part of Mr. Lea. who maintains his reputation
as first class farmer.

| Adoption was by unanimous vote. Mr.. Scott
said the County Commissioners desire to know
the sentiment of the people before decided &C
| ton is taken.
Mr.. James B. Ensor, former School Commits
sioner, said: 1.-THE position of the School Com
missioner is not appreciated by the people and
they get but a pittance considering what is re-
quired and asked of them. The best school
buildings should be had, and would favor the

slider the needs of the children and their health.

MIR. Laban Sparks said the people are with the
schools and are willing to cooperate with the
| Commissioners for the betterment of the chill
drens' health and education. The health OF the
children is essential and tuberculosis should be
checked. medical practitioner can correct
unhealthy conditions

| md Mr. 4 Cr0UfhQr said the Health
| Commissioners of the districts are expected to
| meet unhealthy conditions of communities.
| Mr. L. NJ Bacon said he is favorable to an ad-
| ditioual tax that will give improved conditions.
| Education builds up the people, and proper edu-
cation will fit the young to meet associations and
| requirements of life. Farmers as a rule must
| educate their children at home as they are not
able to send them away from home. Protect
| and educate them and there will be more COM
panionship and whole communities will be bene-
flied. Money then will not be the chief object
of life by the young.
Mr., Upton H. Tarbert said there are too many
parents that are neglectful as to needs of the
teeth of children. Mr.. ]. s. Crowther favored
dental inspection.
Mr. E. L. Scott said the premises where there

receive child unless he is satisfied as to its good
health.
Reference was to the action of the people
north of Glencoe favorable to the establishment
of high school at Glencoe or Sparks. Mr.. Tar
bert said there is a general desire for it and
urged the Endorsement of the people in the
vicinity.
On motion of Mr.. Bacon the two clubs voted
favorably.
IA letter from Director H. J. Patterson, of the
MARYLAND Experiment Station on the improve
rIieht of corn by selection and breeding, was
read, He offers to give each farmers organiza-
tion enough seed corn to plant an acre, provided
one of the members conducts the test and re-
ports the yield, &c.
The varieties are-Golden Leaning, gooo,
bright yellow corn, and the Munnikhuysen,
white corn. Also, will give seed corn of the
Stowell's, Evergreen and Shoepeg sugar va
rieties provided special effort is made in culti-
walton, and report is given. He will give set
tings of White Leghorn and Barred Plymouth
Rock eggs If attention to care and product Is
given.
Ae to the necessity of healthy cattle, the pre-
lsvention of tuberculosis, the purity of the milk
land the best conditions about the farm stables
and the stringent regulation of the milk sold in
the city, brought forth much discussion
Mr.. Gardiner said with clean stables, proper
ventilation and tuberculine test of the COWS we
should have perfect conditions. tuberculosis
| is an insidious thing and some cattle which look
well for the butcher might have it. To prevent
tuberculosis spreading to persons the pasteur-
ization of the milk would be advisable. The re-
quirement for test as to the health of all herds

ing the test the grading and licensing of the
diaries as Endorsed by the State Board of Health
would work no hardship to the farmers who ship
milk, but to the city dairyman whose stables are
detrimental to the trade and health of customers.
Such are the stringent regulations of the pro-
posed city ordinance the small dealers are fight
ing it, There is no desire to drive out the small
dealers but they must be willing to abide by
regulations for clean surroundings and pure
milk. In Pennsylvania the law governing the
. milk trade is stricter than in our State.
} Mr.. Ensor said the farmers do not want to put
! on the market any milk that is not good, ano
would not object to an ordinary inspection Of
) the dairy herd and premises.
Mr.. Bacon asked if anyone knows of dairy

with tuberculosis. Response was no. He sale
/. the greatest care is exercised by the farmer

and stables and inspection should be made o
