$4,000 A MONTH
FOR B. 80. FREIGHT
Six Thousand Tons of Stone Being
Shipped Daily From Quarries--
Largest Months Business.

The report of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, made public the other day
shows an increase in business for the
fscal year just past There is no
mention in this report of Martinsbrrg
or the large volume Of business that
is done at this station.
No place along the system between
baltimore and the Ohio river is the
business OF the company as large as
il is here, at least that is what is
claimed by those who ought to know
1t was said some time ago by one who
knows, that Martinsburg was the only
station along the system that was
holding its own and doing better than
the previous year. During only one
month did the receipts fall below that
of the year preceding
The month just closed was the bese
IN the history of the road at this
point The receSpts for the month for
outbound. inbound and miscellaneous
charges. such as transfer, etc, amount
ed to more than $4,000. The amount
received for outbound freight was
over $4,000, while the balance, about
s35 900 came from Inbound and other
freight charges.
1t is hardly.to be expected that the
receipts during the coming year will
hold up to this average but there is
RIO doubt but that the years income
will be far beyond that of last year
when it went to nearly million and
quarter.
There are few cities the size OF
Martinsburg that originate as much
freight. Other places handle probably
caore, for instance Grafton. Fairmont
and Cumberland, but it all comes in
of short lines and connecting roads,
and its initial point Is other than the
place where ii is handled.
This large amount OF freight does
not include any OF the outgoing freight
handled by the Cumberland Valley
This latter road handles nearly all
the freight of the manufacturing
plants along its line and, added to
what the former road handles. makes
the total outbound freight something
that the growing and thriving city of
Martinsburg can well be proud Of
Martinsburg goes along, day by day,
n the even tenor of It's way without
much hustle or hurrah, but it gets
there just the same and strangers who
have been coming to the city recently
have realized this fact and they are
becoming Interested in our prosperity
and our future prospects.

ELECTRICITY IN THE DAIRY.
Electric Light and Power Have Done
Much to Simplify and Purify
this Great Industry.

MIX and its by-products, butter.
cheese, etc. ranks third in the great
products of this country Annually
it totals a valuation of nearly $780,
10000 and is distanced only by
our mighty corn crop and the sale OF
food animals on the hoof OF such
vital Importance is our everyday
lives it is not strange that every
thing is being done to keep the
sources Of milk supply of the best
and to guard against every contain
mating influence from the time the
milking is done until it's consump-
ticn in one form or another
MIX, cream, butter, cheese, all
are very susceptible to contamina-
/ tion They must be handled with tho
greatest care to prevent their spoil
in They are easily Infected with
{ dangerous germs and the slightest
fault robs them of their market val
ne The first step in purifying our
milk supply was the cleansing of the
foul and dirty stables and the ban
ishing Of hand milking The stables
were soon made modern and up-to-
date and strict laws keep them so.
The milking machine came and was
pronounced a practical success, re-
moving one of the greatest drudger
les of the farm and making if quite
impossible for the milk to become
infected during the milking process
This machine will milk four cows
the same time and far quicker than
one could be MIXED by hand It OPP
crates on the suction principle,
which is the natural way, and the
necessary vacuum is prduced by q
small motor operating vacuum
pump Electricity is best for this
work because il is the safest power
for use around the barns and II is
easily controlled The turning of a
small switch starts or stops the mo-
tor driven vacuum pump.
In the modern dairy where the
milking is easily and quickly done
by machinery the milk is deposited
in tightly closed cans, safe from the
germs floating in the stable air, and
carried to a cool milk room where II
is sterilized for shipment or run di-
rectly through the motor-driven sep
arator and the cream removed This
cream is ripened by an artificial pro
cess and can soon be churned and
worked up into butter when it Is
stored in refrigerators.
Very few up-to-date dairies there
are nowadays not equipped for cleo
trio lights As cleanliness is an i'm
portant factor in this business, the
small incandescent bulb is especial
ly desirable 1t gives a clear, white
light, with no dirt smoke or soot

/ amount of heat as do other forms
of artificial illumination. This last
item is an important one, as the dali
ry must be cool to prevent the milk
and cream from souring.
The electric current for power
purposes is fast being adopted IN
modern dairies. The refrigerator
plant, the churn for making butter,
the bottle washer, are all operated
It'll the aid of the electric motor
The same source Of power is used
in motors fqr banding the hay, cut
ting the onsilage, chopping stray.
roots and other feed. In fact all the
hard work done about the modern
dairy can be done by electric motors
Another application of electricity
in the dairy is the vacuum cleaner
for cleansing and currying the COWS.
Successful experiments are also be-
, ing made with a view of pasteurizinS
or sterili2ing milk by electricity

Enrieo Alfano 10 Put Through MercI
less Examination.

vITERBO, April 1.-Enrico Alfano,
head OF the Camorra, was put through.
a merciless discrimination by
Judge Bianchi, today, and the cause
OF the prisoners suffered by the prac-
tical collapse OF the defense made by
Alfano. yesterday.
The most-telling point made by the
Judge was his query as 10 why Alfano
waited until Informer Abbattemaggio
began his disclosures before he fled
TO America.
The witness created considerable
amusement by replying mat he was
seized with an attack OF stomach
trouble at that time and was afraid
that his confinement in prison. even
pending his vindication, would prove
fatal.
Alfano again denied the existence
OF the Camorra, declaring that II had
long since ceased Its activities. Here
again Bianchi forced admissions from
the witness.
