THE CATTLE PLAGUE.
Not Thought Disease Will Become
Epidemic in This State.

Some CONSERVATION has been caus-
ed in this neighborhood by the dis
coyery that the dreaded foot-and-
mouth disease, now creating havoc
among cattle in Pennsylvania and
New York States, had broken out at
Lineboro, this county, on the farm
of H. M. Kneller. Dr.. R. H. Mackie
State veterinarian, visited the farm
Monday and found that the whole
herd Of 22 cattle were infected. These
were condemned, as were 81 pigs, and
will be killed as soon as men can be
found to dig the deep graves neces-
sary.
Neighbors are loath to go to the
Kneller farm for fear they may carry
the contagion to their own cattle.
Quick lime will be spread over the
bodies to hasten decomposition and
to kill the disease germs.
DR.. Mackie said he did not believe
a quarantine against Maryland would
be established. Il think the govern
ment will only find it necessary" con-
tinued DR.. Mackie, ito lay an embargo
against that section in Carroll in
which the malady has appeared.
There is no prospect of it's spread.
The meat of cattle suffering from
this disease is said not to be infect
ious, but the milk, butter and cheese
is most poisonous to the human sys-
tenn.
Secretary Wilson, of the United
States Government Bureau of Agri-
culture is aiding DR.. Mackie, and every
effort will be made to stamp out the
disease.

stead Friday last looking over the
ground with view to establish his
business here
Mr.. Watts, when seen by a repre-
sentative of this paper, stated that it
was simply impossible to secure suf-
ficient help in Baltimore to supply
their increasing trade, and that he be-
lieved should the firm establish itself
here that they would be able to secure
all the girls wanted for their different
departments. He stated that should
they locate here he would be able to
give employment to at least fifty girls
of from fifteen years of age up, and
possibly more. He will install thirty
pieces of machinery in the factory,
which will be moved from Baltimore,
and was desirous of securing rooms
on the ground floor, and stated that
should they establish themselves here
it would be with the intention of build
ing and making this permanent loca-
tion."

RAILROAD TO AID FARMERS.
Pennsylvania Railroad viii Establish
Experimental Farms.

The Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, always on the alert to do every
thing which will help the country
through which it's roads run, has de-
termined to establish experimental
farms on every one Of it's divisions,
and to place in charge of these farms
the very best farming talent which can
be secured in this or any other coun-
try President McCrea has determined
that the railroad shall take it's part
of the responsibility for the cultiva-
ton of the farming and trucking lands
of the Peninsula.
These farms are to be established
for a two-fold season. First, to dem
onstrate to the farmers and truckers
the best and most profitable crops to
grow on their different lands; second,
to establish a closer union with the
farmers and truckers of the Peninsula,
to confer with them as to the best
crops to grow and to help them in
the selection of the best markets for
the shipment of their produce.
These experimental farms are to be
established as follows: One on the
Delaware Division, one on the line
of the Baltimore, Chesapeake e At
lantic Railway, cne on the line of the
Maryland, Delaware & Virginia Rail-
way, and one on the line of the New
York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Rail-
road 1t is the intention of the Penn
sylvania Railroad to purchase good
farms and establish thereon the best
experts in the different lines of ag-
riculture. The corps of experts will
be composed of men who can give
the best advice as to the kind of crops
the different soils will best produce, as
to the kind of trucks to plant and the
way to plant them, as to fruits, berries
and grain crops and the best kind of
fertilizers to use and the best methods
of cultivation. In fact, these farms
will be models i'll their line and Will all
be at the disposal of the farmers and
for their information.
President McCrea is of the opinion
that there are hundreds Of thousands
OF acres of land on the Peninsula which
are not producing what nature intends
them to produce and that the farms
should within few years SO educate
the people along the most improved
lines as to increase the output of pro-
duce and fruits enough to cause the
railroads to double their capacity of
the present time. The Long Island
Railroad has had these farms in oper-
alton for several years and it has
caused the lands along the lines to
SO blossom that they resemble the
garden farms of England. There
should be no waste land on this Pen
insula, so the railroad people think,
but every acre should be under culti
vation all the time and every acre
should be made to produce at least
twice what it is now producing.

HARIG ACQUITTED.
Did Not Take Jury Long to Make Up
It's Mind.

The Advocate last week published
most of the testimony in this case,
and it's readers are therefore in a po-
sition to judge for themselves wheth-
er the verdict of not guilty is in ac-
cord with the evidence. 1t is the
opinion of most persons that the evil
dence given by witnesses for the State
was sufficient to acquit the prisoner.
This testimony showed that Mahon
had been drinking; that he sought
Harig and applied offensive epithets
to him; that his conduct toward Ha-
rig was such that his friends pulled
him away and tried to hold him; that
he broke away from his friends and
lurched toward Harig.
The location of the bullet hole in
the vest was strong evidence in sup
port of the contention by the defense
that Mahon put his hand to his hip
pocket. This hole was in a part of
the vest that would have been COM
pletly covered by the coat had the
latter been in it's ordinary position.
Putting the right hand on the hip
pocket would draw the coat back to-
ward the shoulder and leave the vest
exposed. The coat was not touched
by the bullet.
1t was not necessary to prove that
Mahon had a revolver on his person,
or that he was in the habit of carry
ing one When a man, in wrangle.
puts his right hand to his hip pocket,
it cannot be expected that his antag-
onist shall wait to see if it is bluff.
To off set this silent evidence, one
witness for the prosecution swore that
Mahon's trends were pulling at his
coat-tails, and this was given as a
reason why the coat was not in the
path of the bullet, but the jurors were
evidently not impressed by this theory.
The jury was out an hour and twen-
ty minutes. The first ballot showed
for acquittal and 8 undecided. On the
second ballot all voted for acquittal.
Harig returned to Baltimore We'd
nesday.
