PROFESSOR WEBB
AND CATTLE LAW
Points Out How New Statute
Will Prove Benefit to
Farmers

Wesley Webb. corresponding secretary
of the State Board Of Agriculture, to-day
made the following statement concerning
the law passed by the recent Legisla-
ture providing for the tuberculin testing
Of all cattle shipped into Delaware for
breeding or dairy purposes:
"A law enacted by the recent Legisla-
ture requires that dairy and breeding cat
tie coming into Delaware shall be free
from tuberculosis, as shown by the tuber-
culin test given by a competent veterin-
arian. and the State Board OF Agriculture
is charged with the enforcement Of the
law. The Board has agreed to furnish the
tubercluin free Of charge. but the owner
Of the cattle must pay the cost Of the test.
Special permit may be obtained to bring
such animals into this State under quar-
antine. the test 10 be applied here as
soon as possible after the animals are ad-
mitted.
Farmers who buy dairy COWS may.
therefore, be protected so FAR as relates
20 the cattle brought from other
states, but no restriction is placed
upon the sale either public or private
OF cattle already within the state. al
though every farmer can protect HIM
self by refusing to buy untested ami
mails This is a very wise course as
Investigations already made indicate
that not less than twenty-five per cent.
OF the cows in this state are tuber-
culous. Boards OF Health. both state
and municipal. doubtless, have a right
to demand that milk offered for human
consumption shall be from healthy
COWS.
"As to the reliability OF the tuber-
culn test. John r. Mohler. Chief OF the
Pathological Division of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, says.
As a result of this method an accu-
rate diagnosis may be established in
over % per cent of the cases tested
The few failures arc due to the fact
that animals i'm the advanced stages
Of tho disease react only-slightly or
not at all and that animals may al
ready have a high temperature owing
TO some Inflammation of lungs or other
parts OF the body. or to some disease
or other disturbance Of the system.
The skilled veterinarian can detect
most OF these cases by physical or
other examination and retest the ami
mails later Tuberculn is considered
harmless 10 healthy animals.
Animals brought into this State be-
fore being tested, and found here 10
be tuberculins must be slaug htered and
the owner receives no compensation" J."

SECOND BAPTIST TO
HAVE "A NEW CHURCH

The congregation of Second Baptist
Church has decided to build new
church, which will really be an addition
to the present edihce. When the chapel
was built originally it was designed with
the prospect Of new church being erect
cd alongside OF IT,
The Rev Thomas =. Holloway, pastor OF
the church, is very active in the new
building project and Alfred Gawthrop is
chairman of the building committee. The
Rev. Mr. Holloway has been pastor Of
Second Baptist Church for years. and
prior to assuming charge of the Will
mington church he was pastor Of a church
at Annapolis. Mr.. Holloway has been very
successful at Second Baptist Church,
and is one of the most popular clergymen
in the city.
The plans for the new church are now
being revised. and bids will be asked in
the near future.

MANY BERRIES
ON SUSSEX VINES
It Is Estimated That 20, ,0OO,- :
900 Quarts Will Be
Harvested

Within another week Delaware will
be harvesting the largest crop OF
strawberries she has ever produced.
1t is estimated that 10000 900 quarts
are on the vines in this state. This
will give Delaware a lead in the mar
keting of the fruit, which is shipped
in refrigerator cars and served to the
people of the entire East in good con-
dition
The census of 1900 showed that in
the previous year 100000 quarts of
strawberries were shipped from Sussex
county, making it the largest berry
producing county in the world
Now, however, the most careful esti-
mates place this years crop at twice
this amount, or nearly 100000 quarts,
leaving only 100000 quarts TO be
raised by Kent and New Castle coun-
ties combined to reach the 10000, 900
quarts estimated for this year.
At the time Sussex county gained her
big berry reputation the next county
TO her in line of production was Anne
Arundel county, Maryland. Baltimore's S
great garden. which produced more
than 100000 quarts.
The crop is bringing marked prosper
ity to thousands of Delaware farmers.
The berry yield brings the earliest
money of all. coming in well in hand
before July 1, when the other farm
crops begin TO ripen.
The Pennsylvania Railroad will revo-
lutionize fruit handling this year
Twenty large freight locomotives have
been turned out by the company for
this peninsula business. These draft
horses will, II is said, be equipped
with smoke condensers and fuel savers

all be needed I'm the hauls from lower
Delaware to Jersey City or TO tho
points where the locomotives arc

evening can be delivered the same
night. and shipments for Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore can be
picked at any time in the day.

Concealed Wsanons.

Once in college town the rumor
that students we're carrying concealed
weapons reached the ears Of the local
police. The chief at once issued strin-
gent orders that the heinous practice
should be stopped One day a group
Of them passed a policeman, and one
of the students in so doing put his
hand to his hip pocket. Then, as If
recollecting himself in time, he hastily
withdrew It and looked sheepishly at
the policeman.
what have you in that pocketl' the
latter asked sternly.
Instead Of answering, the student
and all his companions. as if panic
stricken, started 60 run. After chase
all the students were cornered and or
dered to deliver up whatever they had
in their hip pockets.
Meekly they obeyed. Each one car
ried n 'corncob. The remarks Of the
policemen cannot possibly be record

tion. But one thing remained o1d-the
regiments banner, a fine silk flag made
by the ladies of Chambersburg, Pa, and
carried thru every battle, was now old
and pierced with bullets, as were the II
guidons of the companies. In marching
to the front soldiers off duty stood
along the line to see this body of cav
airy, looking brand new. going to the
front. Chose old service-stained SOL
diers first began to laugh and jolly the
apparently new and green regiment,
saying, We'll, boys, the Johnnies are
Just waiting to welcome you," and such
jocular remarks. but when they noticed
our bullet-shattered banner and our
company guidons, all pierced with bull
lets, they saw they were jeering veter-
ans, and we received from them most
hearty cheers. Our dear Chaplain,
Isaiah L. Kephart, rode along the line
of companies as happy as a man could
be. From June 2, 1864, till April the
regiment participated in 19 engage
ments, losing AIT of its men in killed
and wounded, beside about 200 taken
prisoners. AS Chaplain of the regiment,
DR.. Kephart was present and under fire
in every one of these 19 battles. The
21st Pa. Cav. led the charge one mile
beyond Appomattox Station, and had
just started when the news of truce
reached the regiment that was to sup
port them. The 21st Pa. Cav. charged
down the road, driving the rebels, but
finding their support were not coming.
returned and learned of the truce. Thus
the 21st Pa. Cav made the last charge
as well as the first charge of this great
and glorious campaign.

at Comrade Eades's hotel. He had car
ried his pack 81 miles the day of ar

Duluth. Comrade Fades continues:
HE said: L have been on the deserts

War. 1 was in that war and in the civil
war, and was a packer for Uncle Sam
in nearly all the Indian wars since the
Mexican War. I was a packer for him
in Cuba too He said his name was
Robert E. Carroll; that he was born in
Washington, d. c., Dec. rs, 1884; en-
listed as ships drummer on the Water
Witch March 2, 1S48; discharged in
September, 1851; enlisted April 8. 1861,
in 18th N. Y. (first call was on April

enlisted in Navy for two years, and
served till 1868; enlisted in the 5th N.

U. S. Art, in Spring of 1865; went to
California and began prospecting and
mining, and has followed that most of
the time since. However, has been in

packer for the Government, and re-
mained in Cuba 10 months in that SER
vice; then returned to the old life, and
was still pursuing 1t when he rested en-
route at my house. He said he had two
daughters in San Francisco; had not
heard from them since the earthquake;
meant to go down some day and look
them up, he said. Well it was the story
of young sailor, young soldier, an
old miner, and it impressed me. He was
an old man; drifting, HON eless, toiling,
in his age; a patriot, who, in every peril
of the peace of his country, placed his
arm, his intellect, his life at the service
of the Government-trudgin toiling
drifting, in his age, homeless, his bread
and butter depending upon charity or
the proceeds of a. chance employment;
for when an old man finds employment
for wages it is either chance or charity,
or both. I wonder where the old COM
rade is now. 1t was in the Winter of
1906-7 that he was with my wife and
me, in Duluth, New. We would like to
know where he is and how he fares"
