BORROWING MONEY TO
REPLENISH ROAD FUND.

The Levy Court Of Kent County has
decided to keep the county tax rate the
same for another year Its: General
county purposes, 40 cents general road
repairs, 10 cents permanent good roads,
5 cents The rate is therefore, retained
at 81 cents.
The Levy Court appointed a special
committee to inspect the site OF old
Martins Bridge, and decided upon the
advisability OF cOnstrucut a draw.
bridge there and employing a bridge
tender. The committee is Messrs Car
mean, Truax, Donoho, Harper and
Hutchius.
The Levy Court passed a resolution
to borrow SIS, 900 to replenish the good
roads funds for money borrowed from
it in the winter for general fund aud
improvements. Three s. 600 certificates
were prepared for the Farmers Bank.
One OF these will be issued at once. The

fund can be replenished with taxes
coming into the general fHnd.
A road west OF FELTON,, the old Kings
Highway, was found to be, in one place.
eneroached upon by farmers for 100
yards, narrowing the legal road down
to twenty two feet. One farmer has an
apple orchard, grape vinyard and part
OF his front porch in the road. A COM
mittee was appointed to open it, move
him back and make the necessary re.
pairs.
The Potter estate, q bequsst to Kent
County OF eighteen farms, appealed
through its custodian, for relief from
the payment OF it's taxes to the county,
on the ground that the Chancellor had
ordered its payment Of $500 to the treas
urer OF the poor Of Kent County, in
creased to 81 900, annually. The Levy
Court refused to relinquish the estate |
from the payment Of its S2j8 OF taxes. |

SAVE HOGS FROM CHOLERA.

A recent outbreak OF hog cholera
occurred at Fort dupont, Delaware
City, and DR.. Charles F. Dawson, the
State Veterinarian, was sent for and ap-
piled the anti-hOg cholera serum to %
hogs and saved % OF them,
The preventive serum from this dis
ease was discovered by the Bureau OF
Animal Industry few years ago and
this Bureau has since endesvOred to
interest all State governments in its
production.
Many Of the States have, as 3 result
of the agitation and decentralization Of
the great value Of the serum, provided
funds for the purpose, in some instances
as much as eight to ten thousand dol
lars have been appropriated.
The serum is com paratively costly
to produce and one State makes q
charge of fifty cents for serum enough
to protect $50 pound hog This serum
will 10 more cure hog cholera than
vaccination will cure smallpox, but il
will prevent it.
Given drove OF be g. which are dying
Of cholera two or three day, the veter
marian can by injecting the proper
dose under the skin check the deaths
in a few days. Or, given a drove in
which hog cholera does not exist, the
drove can be protected absolutely
against infection. Such protected hogs
can live with, aud can eat the carcasses
Of hogs dead from cholera without con-
tracing the disease. They are absolute
ly immune.
As the Bureau OF Animal Industry
could not. for obvious reasons, UNDER
take to furnish the various States with
the serum, represen tstives Of the States
we're invited to witness the method Of
its production at the hog cholera farm
near Ames. Iowa, and were furnished
enough virulent hog cholera virus to
start serum production.
The Delaware State Board Of Agricul.
ture sent it's veterinarian to witness
these demonstrations and he has since
successfully produced the serum at the
Della ware College Experiment Station.
The quantity produced will, owing to
lack Of funds md the necessary accom-
for such work, be very limit
ed. Enough has been done IN this line,
however, to convince the Board that 1t
is one Of the most important lines Of
work it could carry out. In the half
dozen or more outbreaks ia which the
serum has been used, great benefits
have been confessed. A considerable
quantity Of the serum is now ready for
Use

Women and civilization.

Woman had little to do directly with
the shaping of old civilization, but we
can not help thinking that our modern
sense of life and its more real and
human investment are largely and d.
rectly due not only to spiritual quail
tiles and distinctively feminine, but
to feminine initiative. In the clarified
light of the soul womanhood has been
translated.
The woman is still the mother, but
maternity has for our modern vision
significance which is not merely
physical, but spiritual-in its fullest
meaning 1t is the liberation of hu-
manity for finer uses. She is nearer
than man to the new Nature, as she
was to the old. But our ultra-modern
naturalism has a pellucid atmosphere,
full Of light, and there is a clearer
vision of truth. The humanities and,
we might also say, the divinities, have
been transformed. A delusive net
work of sophistication has vanished
The terms masculine" and feminine"
have no longer their old elemental
or conventional meanings.
There Is, or there is becoming, new
woman and a new man, and the dis
tinction between them is not one Of
spheres" No exaltation of life, here
or hereafter, could be humanity inter
esting or at all human in which wom-
an did not have her proper share
and her peculiar distinction. This
share and this distinction woman has
had in the great modern renaissance.
She first brought the creative imagi-
nation within homely bounds. But
here we touch upon a field to which
we must give separate consideration

Beavers Destroy Fences.

Beaver have been accommodating In
the State to such an extent that they
have destroyed property In some in
stances and the owners of the prop
erty have had to apply to the game
commissioners Office for permits to
kill them.
Anthony Sneeve, wealthy cattle
man, living fifteen miles up Brush
Greek from Gypsum, Colo, secured a
permit recently and brought in ten
hides few days ago. He built a half.
mile fence from quaking asps last fall
on one portion of his ranch, but the
winter being long the beavers supply
of food ran out. They sailed forth
and found that fence a tempting NOR
sci. Every post was cut OF close to
the ground and the beaver then cut
the rails into short lengths, slowing
these in their huts until they were
ready to eat the bark. Then they car
ried the wood out and floated 1t down
stream.
A Mrs. Bond, living half a mile be-
low Pine in Platte canyon also secured
permit to kill a beaver colony on
her place. She planted a handsome
grove of shade trees few years ago
and they are now in a hourishing con-
dition, but colony of beavers built
a dam in the Platte during the late
winter and they insist upon stealing
her nice, soft shade trees unless she
stands over them with a club nearly
all the time.-Denver Republican.
