Cannot Feed for Butter Fat.

Cannot Feed for Butter Fat.
Though careful feeding will to some
extent increase the amount OF milk,
the butter quality cannot be improved
much except by breeding up the herd.
The way to do this is to selec. cows
which give large quantities of mA@k hav-
ing higher per cent. of butter fat
than that contained in the milk from
the cows you already possess.

Tvphoid wen at RoebIinp.

An examination made by the State
Board of Health of samples of water
taken from a well at Roebling, where an
epidemic of typhoid fever has prevailed
for three weeks, shows conclusively the
source of the trouble. The towns water
supply was found to be good. The State
Health Board was assisted in its investi.
cation by local officials of the John A.
Roebling's Sons Company, which founded
the town of Roebling.
The disease spread with alarming
rapidity and 1t was necessary to remove
the patients to various hospitals. Trenton
received many of the sufferers and several
are in the Burlington County Hospital
here.
The cause of the disease has been traced
directly to a well located on what is known
as Knickerbocker Row, near the station,
and just outside of the Roebling property
This water was found to contain typhoid
baccine. The water was condemned, and
since then no new cases have been reported
Three have died from the disease.
