Court Proceedings.
Many Cases Disposed of This
Week, Among Them Four
Indictments for Murder---
Adjournment of Sessions
Court Yesterday.

AN unusually large volume OF
business was disposed of by the
Sessions Court this week. The
disposition of many cases was
noted in Wednesdays issue of
The News. Since our last pub
lication the following cases have
been acted on:
The case of j. b. Sims, charg.
ed with murder, full report of
which appears elsewhere.
Strait and Herbert McMullen,
offeDse, assault, transferred to
magistrate for trial.
The case of Berry Mobley g.,
charged with murder, was mol
pressed, the defendant being
dead.
Bill Milly, alias Bill Massey
ofense, house breaking and lar
ceny, for whom bench warrant
was issued, continued to next
court.
Irwin Hill, offense, obtaining
goods under false pretense, mol
pressed as was also case of M.
ID. Love, charged with violating
dispensary law, defendant being
dead.
Pars Funderburk, charged with
murder-killing of Charlie Ply
Ter, son of Capt. @. A. Plyler,
resulted in verdict of not gull
ty. The defense was that the
shooting was accidental. MIR.
Foster represented the defend
ant.
The sealed sentence in the
case of r. l.. Long. charged with
obtaining signatures under false
prelense, brought over from last
court, was opened and read, be
ing a fine of $400 and 2 years on
public works.
Charles Clyburn, Joe Cox, Ell
lis Wright, Sam Wright, Alon 20
Wright, Hervey Wright, Saml.
Vaughn and Fred Wright, chare.
ed with riot, resulted in ver-
dict of guilty. This is the case
growing out of an attempt to
pull off a "military" wedding.
Each defendant was sentenced to
pay a fine of $75 or serve 6
months on public works, except
the defendant Hervey Wright,
whose sentence was $50 or 4
months.
Phil Ingram, charged with as.
sault and battery with intent
kill, found guilty and sentenced
to pay a fine Of $25. or serve 25
days on public works.
Sam Wright and Hervey
Wright, offense, assault and
battery with intent to kill, mol
pressed.
S. Frank Hough, charged with
murder--the killing OF Henry
MCPHERSON, colored resulted in a.
prompt acquittal. 1t was shown
that the defendant acted in self
defense. He was acting as mag
istrate's constable and had war
rant for the rnegro's arrest, and
when he undertook to execute it,
Mcpherson resisted, drawing a
gun and attempting to shoot the

Brakeman gave some interesting fig
ures, based upon personal visits to
Eastern machinery houses and con-
densaries. He said it would require
S25. 900 to start a plant with a capacity
of 10000 pounds a day. The ma
chinery would cost $1,000, the bal
ance being required to purchase site,
erect a building and to buy milk. He
stated that several $1,000 subscriptions
had been secured. A committee con-
sisting of President Brakeman, G. ID.
Robinson, B. H. Morgan, G. M. Coch-
ran and DR.. McCready was named to
solicit subscriptions.

CONCISELY STATED.

Prof C. L. Beach, of the Vermont
Experiment Station, condenses the
science of feeding cows into the fol-
lowing paragraph, which should be
studied by COW farmers everywhere:
O) The more food the COW can
be induced to eat the more milk she
will produce. Cows do not usually
consume more food than they can
properly digest. The ration therefore
should be made as palatable as pos
sible in order to induce the COW to
eat large quantities.
GU The larger the amount of pro
tein in the ration the larger the milk
flow Protein in the ration is essential
to the production of the milk.
60 The less energy required to di-
gest the ration the larger the milk
flow.
ca The richer the ration the rich
er the manure The dairy farmer
must look here for a large part of his
return.
60 No two COWS can be fed alike.
Each must be studied differently. In
crease the protein in the ration and
watch the milk flow.

The multiplication of creameries
and condensed milk factories and the
establishment of meat-packing plants
will hasten the development of the
Pacific Northwest as a great livestock
country. On the best authority we
have the assurance that by reason OF
climate and forage crops this is the
best live stock and dairying section
in the Union. Now We shall have
practical demonstration of the fact.

One of the cream separators now
claiming the attention of dairymen in
the Pacific Northwest. is that made by
the Empire Cream Separator Co., of
Bloomfield, N. j. This company aims
the principle-the application of CEN
trifugal force that throws the heavier
parts of the milk outward, while the
cream (the butterfat) remains near the
center and is carried off separately; sec
ond the design that permits the centrif-
ugal force to act conveniently and eff
GENTLY; third, the construction that com
bines simplicity, good materials and
nice adjustment. These elements so APP
piled give a nearly frictionless disc ma
chine that is worthy of candid consid-
Grafton by dairymen.

B. c. Crabtree, of Lynden, has pur-

COWS from which he will build up
model dairy herd. The cattle are all
registered and from prize winning
stock. Among the herd is one young
bull descended from the famous Stoke
Pogis, whose mother was 22-pound a

the COWS has taken prizes at the State

No branch of agriculture has made
greater progress in the United States
during the past decade than has dairy
ing Dairying, instead of being an
adjunct to farm work, oftentimes a
losing one, has come to be a speciality
and in the majority of cases highly
profitable one And what is most i'm
portant, perhaps, to farming prosper
ity in general, it has brought with it
diversified cropping, and wherever
practiced, increased fertility to the
soil.

Gilbert McMillen, superintendent of
Willowmoor dairy herd, spent some

of which he is expecting soon to re-

CREAM
Sci arators
ALWAYS IN The Lead
ALWAYS In The Lead

From the invention by DE LAVAL of the first
practical cream separator in 1878 the DE LAVAL ma
chimes have been always in the lead
The first holow' bowl separator; the first
factory separator all of the several first styles
of hand separators; the first steam turbine separator
the first "dsc' bowl separator, and the first splt
wing distributing tubular shaft separator each
and all DE LAVAL Inventions each marking periods OF
advancing evolution in the usefulness of the sep
arator.
So too were the first TUBULAR shaped bowl sep
araor first bottom feed separator; the first vertical
bade bowl separator the first interior cone consruc
ton bowl separator and nmberess other types of
sruction each and all DE LAVAL inventions, though
found so impractical comparatively inferior, from
one reason another, that they put into
commercial in the DE LAVAL machines
Every would-be competing cream separator on the
market today merely uizes patent expired
abandoned DE LAVAL construction, and if any one of
them should make preense of denying it the patent
evidence may easily produced showing the fasty
evasion of such denial.
The new 1908 DE LAVAL separators mark
another great evolution in separator construction
being and remodelled in practically every detail
and place a still wider margin of superiority between
the LAVAL and the best of initiating separators
The DE LAVAL main factories in the United States
Sweden the largest and finest of their kind and
ranked for years among the model shops of the
world their equipment is the best that mechanical science
and money make it: the twenty smaller DE LAVAL
factories assembling and repair shops, in many diff
feren countries relatively superior; the DE LA
VAL inventors and experimental engineers the best
of the who have shown practical separator genius
in every country and large staff Of them is kept
stantly at the beterment of the DE LAVAL machines,
while the shop employees generally the most compe
and best paid in their various classes.
THE GREAT OBJECT EVER KEPT BEFORE
EVERY MEMBER OF THE DE LAVAL PRODUCT
I'VE ORGANIZATION IS THE MAKING OF THE BEST
CREAM SEPARATOR POSSIBLE AND EVER THE
MAKING OF IT BETTER THIS YEAR THAN LAST
YEAR.
These the why the DE LAVAL machines
began in the lead and have kept from 1878 to 1908,
excelling all attempted imitation and competition in
greater degree today than at any past time

education in separator knowedge-is to be had for the
asking.

TAX ON INHERITANCE.

Annapolis Especially. - Attorney
General Straus, in an opinion to
Comptroller Herring on what should
be the proper tax on collateral in
heritances collected since the act OF
the last Legislature, said:
1.-THE act prescribes that the es-
tate, money and securities to which
it refers shall be subject to a tax OF
5 per centum on every 500 of the
clear value of such estate, money
and securities.
"a question has arisen as to the
time of the application of the per
cent. tax provided for by the act,'
and particularly whether it's provi-;.
sions are to be construed retroactive
ly so as to apply to the estates of
persons who have died prior to the
date of its passage. have examined
this question with great deal Of
care and find that the authorities
leave no room &or any other con-
clusion than that the act cannot be
construed to operate retrospectively,
but must be construed to operate
prospectively, and that accordingly til
has no application to the estates Of
persons deceased before its passage
and may only be applied to the estate
of persons who have died after its
passage.

HERE'S A STRANGE ERROR.

Annapolis Especial Coincident
with the discovery of an error inI
the printers copy of the High liz
cense bill for Baltimore City it has
been found that mistake was made
in the bill passed at the late session
OF the Legislature regulating the sale
OF liquor at Brooklyn and Curtis Bay
in the Fifth District of Anne Arundel
County, contiguous to Baltimore
County
The bill in question was intro
duced by Senator Brashears and was
amended in the House by Delegate
Brady so as to read that no licensees
will be permitted to sell intoxicating
liquor between the hours of 10 M
and O'Clock A. NJ The bill fixes
the penalty for violation at not less
than $25 nor more than $500.
The discovery of this error has
just became generally known, and
it is not thought that it was made
Intentionally. The purpose OF the
amendment was to designate between
the meridians of noon and midnight,
but instead it went through in some
inexplicable way as "12 o'clock M
Saloonkeepers, it is thought, will be
prevented from selling liquors ex-
cept between the hours of A. M.
and noon.
The discovery has caused no little
discussion, and it Is reported pro-
prietors of saloons in the district
affected are greatly aroused.

EVERY WOMAN HER OWN DE-
SIGNER.

Speaking of the trials and tribula.
lions which beset the woman who
wants to dress well and hasn't much
money to spend on frocks and frills,
a London woman sends a nugget OF
wisdom. Miniature model gowns, she
says, may be made at home, to fit a
pretty wax doll, and they are then
sent to the dressmaker to copy. The
making of the little model gowns, &C
cording to this authority, will be a
great source of amusement, and the
most fascinating and original designs
can be carried out. By women who
do not wish to spend the extra money
on material, the tiny dresses can be
made of eolored tissuepaper. 1t Is
marvellous what wonderful frills and
embroideries can be cut out of pa
per by women who know what they
want to wear-New York Press.

Fashion truly makes fools Of wo-

haired girl of 10, as she assumed y
look that added ten years to her age.
I'VE are slaves to fashion and to SO.
ciety; slaves to the rule of one man
Or one woman, with never thought
OF ones own, but simply to let brains
like those of Mrs. Astor do the work
for us. Our heads remain in an un-
thinking state. We go to cotillon,
and we might just as well shut our
eyes for all the use we make of them.
1t is the white mans burden to have
to cater to the likes and dislikes Of
one woman because thousand 9TH
ers imagine she knows better than
they. But time will come when we
will be seen as civilized as we were
yesteryear, when we acted as we
ought and said what we meant. Now
we hem and haw, we welcome those
we hate, we pretend we do not love
when we do, and all is topsy turvy.
