Want the DUPONT Road

Salisbury. Nd. October 1.-THE peo-
pie of Salisbury and the lower part Of
Wicomico County are very much en-
Unused over Colonel duPont's threat to
build boulevard in Maryland if the
people of Delaware did not cooperate
with him more heartily. Many specu-
lations are adrift as to where the boule-
ward will be built in case Colonel DUPONT
does decide to build in this State. II is
thought it will probably run from the
Delaware line through Salisbury and
east toward Ocean City via Powellsville
and Berlin. All the people along this
route are promising to cooperate in
every way possible with Colonel dupont,
if he will run the road through this sec
ton of Wicomico County.

cation for permission and authority to

pose of showing local interest but also to
aid in setting forth substantial reasons
for the roads construction and meeting

New RuIe.--NO Seat, No Fare.

Railroad companies operating solely
in Maryland must furnish seat with
each fare. according to an opinion given
out by w. Cabell Bruce. general counsel
for the Public Service Commission. The
decision was made anent the case of j..
w. Hirons against the Baltimore. Chesa-
peake and Atlantic Railway.
In his opinion Mr.. Bruce cited New
York and Tennessee cases. showing that
standing room in passageway is not
proper accommodation for passenger.
and that the ticket contract calls not
only for transportation. but seat also.
1.-THE passenger. said Mr.. Bruce.
''need not surrender his ticket until he
gets a seat. II he chooses TO accept
transportation without seat, he must.
on demand. pay his fare. If he is I'M
willing to ride unless a seat is furnished,
he must get Off at the first opportunity.
and he may then recover as damages
such sum as will compensate him for the
breach Of contract, including such dam
ages as are the natural and immediate
result of such breach"
That the opinion will have far-reach-
ing effect with many roads throughout
the State there is no doubt, and persons
travelling through the country with a
knowledge Of this ruling will no doubt
avail themselves of added opportuni ties
in the future.

Plant Good Seed Wheat

Another important thing just now for
the farmer to do is to attend TO his seed
wheat.
He may get his ground in first class
order and condition. apply sufficient
fertilizer without filler) and seed his
field in good time. but if his seed comes
from ten bushel yield Of small grains
or filed with garlic cookie, his yield for
next year will be disappointing. He must
remember that the labor on thirty
bushel yield is no greater than on a ten
bushel yield except the cost of threshing.
II you have no fan or screen at home it
will pay to take seed to the nearest
miller and get him to handle it same as
for grinding. II you want to buy seed
wheat, consult with Experiment Station
at College Park. giving them the char
acter of the soil and location and they
will try to put you in touch with those
who have suitable seed for sale. With
regard to the proper selection Of seed
corn, the girls can assist as well as boys
and the girls clubs should get started
securing tomato and other seeds for
next season.
The girls clubs in the public schools
are intended to give girls the benefit of
some outdoor work. bring them closer to
nature by studying plant life and then
follow with instruction in canning and
carry the teaching of economics into
the home and so ennoble the daily round
and common task, which will help bring
delight to the mother. and in many cases
cement closer relations and fellowship
between mother and daughter.

Models of Horses Teeth Of
Different Ages.

Everybody wants to be able to
tell the age of a horse. The de-
monstration train will carry a
number of models showing the
teeth in the upper and lower jaws
of the horse by which the age may
be determined.
These will represent the ages
from young colthood to eight or
nine years. Every horse man
should sec these models. They
were imported from Germany last
year by the Louisiana State Uni
versity for the veterinary depart
ment, and are very fine specimens.
Don't fail to test your knowledge
of the age of horses by these mod
els. They are accurate, and they
are very few, if any, like them in

within ten days., only those who
drank raw milk contracted the
disease. -Heinemann.

mortality rate decreased.-Edsall
4. Typhoid is less frequent in
countries where little raw milk 10

5. 1t has been found that among
patrons of diaries supplying pro-
perly pasteurized milk and cream
there occur but very few cases of
typhoid. -Rosenau.
6. Disease germs rise with or
cling to the cream, which contains
at least twelve times as many bac-
terra per volumes as the whole
milk from which it was separated.

Z. La Japan, where little cows
milk is used, scarlet fever is prac-

s. Milk trusts aud others have
spread the reports that pastsuriz.
ing was harmful. Able santa
