A FRIEND TO THE
 ROCKINGHAM

Five years ago I was so troubled with kidney trouble and inflammation of thj6 bladder that I had to lease working Ay farm. Life looked dark to me until I heard of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp boot through cured friend. I tried hbttle and began to feel better at once. After using five or six bottles I felt fIie and have continued to work as I hadf before my afhiction.
 I want to state that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a kidney medicine that will cure and I owe my good work during the past five or six years to 1t.
 Yours very truly,

that an assessment of $3.50 per
year for each cow in the associa-
tlon will cover the necessary ex-
penses connected with the work.
Some good reasons given for Cow
testing Associations are as follows
l The poorest cows are discov-
cred so that the owner may get rid
of those which do not pay a profit
over cost of keeping.
2 The profitable cows are iden-
titled so that good heifers from
such cows may be raised to i'm
prove the herd.
3 Definite proof is furnished
that many cows considered to be
the "best" producers of milk and
butter fat are actually the "poor-
est"
A Many cows considered only
average are frequently found to be
the best in the herd.
5 Many cows guessed at as be-
ing best in the herd show a
short milking period and are un-
profitable.
6 Bigger returns are gotten
from fewer COWS.

and bulls are more valuable when
from dams with known records.

TO IMPROVE.
DAIRY CONDITIONS
Government To Help Farmer

Another addition has been made
to the agricultural department of
Delaware College which promises
to be Of great value to the dairy
men of the state. Hugh Fergus,
an expert in the dairy line has
been secured and will work in CO.
operation with the college and the
Dairy Division of the United
States Department of Agriculture
with which division he was form
erly connected. Mr.. Fergus took
up his duties here last week and
will make his headquarters in
Middletown that being more CEN
trally located for the dairy busi-
ness. His salary will come from
three sources-the Dairy Division
of the Federal Government, Della
ware College, and men in Phila-
delphia and Delaware who are in
terested in dairy development in
this State.
Mr.. Fergus spent several days
last week in Kent and Sussex
County looking over conditions
there. 1t is pointed out that for a
number Of years farmers of Della
ware have grown more and more
dissatisfied with the results in
dairying as a business enterprise.
The increased costs of labor,
feeds, transportation, ETC., has
helped to bring about this dissatis-
faction and at this time there are
many dairymen who Doubt that
under existing conditions a dairy
herd can be made profitable. Mr..
Fergus, as we'll as officials of the
agricultural department of Della
ware College contend that it can
be made profitable largely by inn
proving the stock and the condi-
tions that now exist on many dairy
farms.
Mr.. Fergus will be in the State
all the time in the future and will
be available for dairymen to con-
suit at all times on any subject
connected with the business. One
of his first moves will be to form
a Cow Testing Association in New
Castle county, which have been g
wonderful success in many other
states. He also hopes to form Bull
Associations, the purpose being
for four or five farmers to join in
securing a pure bred bull to i'm
prove their herds. Mr.. Fergus
will also be glad to give his advice
relative to the building of dairy
houses, silos, etc. and will be a
the call of all who want him fol
such a purpose. He will assist il
selecting stock, when requested
and from time to time will put ou
bulletins covering lines Of work o:
interest to dairymen. Milk sheet:
will be furnished any farmer wh'
wants to keep a record of the dali.
production of his herd.
The most important OF the plan
that are being mapped out by Mr
Fergus to improve the dairy here
of Delaware is the forming of Gov

again to have to meet an excuse such
as was offered in the Arabic case,
when the changing of the liners
course, though she was still at a con-
siderable distance and, as it was later
proved, unaware that submarine was
near, was interpreted by the Germ an
officer as an attempt to ram.
One point believed to have been
cleared up by DR.. Greil's statement is
the nationality Of the submarine.
There had been a suspicion that
Austria had evaded stating definitely
the submarine was hers, and many
officials believed this indicated that
the vessel was a German and was be-
ing shielded because of the Kaiser's
pledge to this country. Dr.. GriePs
description of the flag flown is taken
as conclusive, if not of the nationality
Of the vessel and crew, at least of the
nation she was representing and the
one which must bear the RESPONSE

w. H. Taft Denies Plot
by Austrians for Serum

New Haven, Nov. 18.-Wiliiam H.
Taft. chairman of the central commit
tee Of the American Red Cross. makes
n correction of recently published re-
ports concerning the shipment OF anti
tetanus serum TO Austria. Mr.. Tart
points out that the reports have inti-
mated that the Austrian Consulate IN
New York plotted to obtain possession
of the cases of serum, which had been
prepared by the New York City Board
of Health. In justice to the Austrian
Consul General, MIR. Taft, on behalf OF
the Red Cross, denies the intimation
of the published reports.
"The American Red Cross says MI.
Taft in his statement, had conslgn-
ment of eleven boxes Of anti-tetanus
serum prepared by the New York City
BOARD of Health for the Austrian Red
Cross. Eight boxes only were received
in time for shipment, the remaining
three boxes arriving day or two
late. The Red Cross agent
telephoned to the Austrian Consulate
asking if it could find some means of
sending over these additional three
boxes. The consulate. through the cour-
tesy of Mrs. Hurd and Mr.. Wedl, wa.
able 10 make arrangements for this
shipment. The steamer was TO sail on
June !. early in the morning. May 81
was holiday, and our agent requested
that these boxes be taken by the con-
sulate on Saturday. :. 1t was
therefore, in compliance with the re-
quest of the agent of the Red Cross
that the consulate sent for the boxes
on Saturday, holding them until early
Tuesday. when they were sent to the
steamer"

NAVY INFRINGEMENT
ON PATENT UPHELD
Government Has Right to Use
ANY Device, Court Decides.

The government has a right TO make
temporary use Of any device upon
which a patent I. granted. according to
a ruling made yesterday By Judge
Charles VI. Hough in the Federal Court
In an injunction action brought by the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company
against Emil J. Simon, a radio engi-
neer, Of 9s9 Broadway. Judge Hough
said:
"The Navy Department has employed
Simon to construct radio apparatus
without which certain war vessels now
approaching completion cannot go into
commission. II Simon does not COM
plete the articles for which he has con-
tracted injury TO the naval arm Of the
government will result; therefore, be-
cause Of the assumption that Simon 10
an lnfringer, the ordinary remedy
against him would injure an arm Of
the government Of the greatest i'm
portance. No injunction will be is
sued
The Marconi company will appeal
from the decision. Edward j: Nally,
vice-president of the wireless concern,
said;
"This decision raises question
which Is of interest to all manufactur-
ers of patented apparatus which may
be used by various departments OF the
United States government, and II
Judge Hough's opinion is correct it is
believed that IL will have an effect not
only on those engaged In wireless
telegraphy but also in many other
branches Of industry"
