Mr.. Montgomery Answers Mr..
Brooke.

Editor Sentinel IL have read with much
interest the letter of Mr.. W. A. Brooke re-
Gently published in your paper.
Mr.. Brooke represents loss to milk pro-
ducers by the passage of bill introduced
in the United States Senate requiring all
herds of cattle whose product is sold in the
District of Columbia to be authOritatvely
tested for tuberculosis. The Agricultural
Department has for years been educating
the dairymen of Virginia and Maryland to
the necessity of this test being applied to
their herds, and a few have voluntarily
submitted their herds to this test The
results have been generally satisfactory
few herds have not responded whatever
to the test, which means if there is any
accuracy in this test that these herds are
free from tuberculin contamination. The
health authorities of the District are now
testing all herds within that boundary on
the authority of Secretary Wilson, who
promises the owners of affected cattle that
they shall be partly remunerated for those
cows thrown out or killed If this bill re-
ferred to does not carry this remunerative
feature, it should especially for the cows
thrown out by the first test
To test this matter commercially, Mr.
Brooke, send down your raw milk product
to the milk platform at the Union Station.

that this is lean" year for all long feed

extent in the herds that supply Washing

This agitation is very much emphasized
by the producer himself protesting against
having his herd tested. 1t leads the con-
sumner to think cOnclusively that his herd
is rotten sure enough.

Boycotting In General.

Mr.. Editor There seems to be a DEN.
eral disposition to boycott existing with
our people, if not with the people of all
civilized nations of the world. While we
of Comus sympathize with those unfor-
tunate dwellers of the cities who have
been feeding on cold-storage beef for many
years, we are still happy to state that we
have no just cause for a boycott in our
town, for the best reason, perhaps, that
our butchers have boycotted themselves
and stopped butcherine.
OF course they will resume business in
the early spring. after the fish season and
Lent have passed, and how much better
for the health of the church and man that
abstinence for short period has been
takenl
When that blessed season arrives there
will be plenty of followers of the butcher
ing business, showing that the business
must be profitable with honest dealers.
Then we will be offered meat of best
quality" and lat moderate prices" OF
course our appetite will be keen and we
will not ask whether the beef is cold
storage or worse The profits of the butcher,
| repeat, must be good, though he has lost
the sale of the horns
There has been no perceptible change in
the price of meat at Comus; still pay 10
and IL cents for beef and pork, which is
about half of what the denizens of the
city pay. City folks, if you love good
meat, locate in Comus.
But a more important boycott want
started. want to boycott the scoundrels
who have been burning our barns. Why,
we hear of several barns being burnt in
the State every week. In slave times such
was not the case. The only barn that |
have recollection of being burnt was
that of my father, and that was burnt by
an idiotic negro.
Is there no way, Mr. Editor, to stop this
Internal work? Can't we catch few of
the scoundrels and hang them to tele-
graph poleH
We should remember that every barn
burnt makes us all poorer. If incendiarism
exists all over our land, will not timber
soon bring double pricesY

A Question of Great Importance to
Our County People.
Respectfully

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. End. 1910.
, Mr. Kdit0r There has been bill in
trOduced in the House Of Delegates by Mr..
Garrett to increase the pay of our County
Commissioners from three to five dollars
per day, with a maximum limit of $1,000
per year. This would give each Commits
sioner from $500 to 81 1000 per year. as I'M
derstand they are now drawing from 5000
to 500 per year. The argument in favor
Of the bill is that since the new road laws
have been in operation that more time
and attention is required Of the Commits
sioners, while the importance of the Office
has been decreased since the creation Of a
Treasurer Of the county and the doing
away with the collectors, and that the in
crease will tend to attract capable men.
would like TO hear If there will be any
objections TO the increase and also about
any other matters in which the people Of
the county are interested.
| also take this means Of notifying the
people of Chevy Chase that no action will
be taken on the bill to incorporate that
place until full hearing. has been had.
