MARYLAND DUMPING GROUND
FOR Diseased CATTLE.
State Veterinarian Says Virginia
And Pennsylvania Ship In
TuberCulous Cows.

Our farmers no doubt will be greatly
surprised by the statement made by DIR.
Lawrence Hickman, State Veterinarian for
Maryland. before the Conference on State
Control Of Milk Supply and Bovine Tu-
berculosis. held in New York last week,
to the effect that Maryland is being used
as dumping ground" for uninspected
and diseased cattle from other states,
particularly Virginia and Pennsylvania.
"Of 1900 cattle received at the State
Yards to be sold to the butchers as beef. !"
declares DR.. Hickman, 1--WE found GOO un-
fit for this purpose. At the Conference
it was stated that Maryland has received
the highest percentage of diseased cattle
in the Union. with New Jersey second.
This can easily be remedied by the Live
stock Sanitary Boards placing more
patrols in the counties on the State lines.
AT present there is not sufficient num-
Der for the territory assigned to them.
OF all the cattle received into the State
last year 80 per cent. were tuberculous.
The Government inspectors condemn
only such cattle as show general tuber-
culosis, that is, where the body is found
to be wholly tuberculous.

McCALL's FERRY FlSHWAY.
Bill In Pennsylvania legislature
Requiring It's Construction.

An adequate isbway at the McCall's
Ferry power dam on the Snsquehanna
River. which has been agitated for the
last two years, will soon become a reality.
AT the request Of York and Lancaster
county fisherman. many Of whom have
been deprived Of livelihood by the
building Of the Mccalls Ferry power dam.
Robert S. Spangler, York county repre-
sentative in the Pennsylvania legislature,
has introduced bill into the House re-
quiring the construction of an adequate
fshway at McCalls Ferry power dam and
for action by the fish commissioner in
case of failure.
The direct object of this act-which
has been referred to the proper COM
mittee-is to force the construction of the
fshway in legal manner, in case the
fish commissioner is unable'to do so.
The fish commissioner, N. R. Bneller,
has had his plans for fshway prepared
for some time. The fishway will follow
the couse Of the old tidewater canal on
the York county side of the river for
several hundred feet, and then make a
slight turn into that portion of the river
that at present is one of the best shad
fishing grounds below the dam.
Since the introduction of the bill into
the legislature by Spangler. ID is said that
the Pennsylvania Water and Power Com
pany, owner of the dam, has agreed to
construct the fishway.
It's said by the constructing engineer
of the power company that the proposed
plan. can be put in operation in two
months. if the water is low enough to
continue the work.

is practicinR daily with Italian in

Although determined to abandon his
