MORE PURE BRED LIVESTOCK

Brooks Bros. at Hopkinton recent
ly purchased number of polled Here
fords at the r. A. Fritz and Sons sale
at Grinnell, Iowa. We understand
they bought the highest priced cow at
the sale, known as Elizabeth Fourth
priced at $500. It is interesting to
note the way in which the Hereford
Breeders are trying to put Delaware
county on the map with some first
class livestock and it will not be sur
prising that in the future they will
give the Shorthorn breeders a good
run for their money.
w. B. Robinson and Sons recently
purchased an addition to their herd
from the Burge Farm and also from
Omaha. In the past two or three
months they have purchased ten pure
bred yearling and, two year old heif-
ers at the average price of $495. These
purchases are good representatives of

SELL NON-LAYING HENS

SELL NON-LAYING HENS
During the months of June and July
the cockerels and non-laying hens
should be sold. At this period Of the
year the highest price is being paid
for that class of poultry, and even if
the prices were only satisfactory when
the cost of feed is considered it is adj
visable to Gull out the flock and dis
nose Of those individuals at once.
Sixty good laying hens will produce
practically as many eggs as one hun
dred poor ones. The price of feed
nowadays does not warrant keeping
non-producers. .
ONEIDA COMMUNITY CLUB
The Oneida Community Club held
picnic in connection with the Eighth
Grade Graduation Exercises. There
was a good attendance and very in
teresting program was presented.
The Farm Bureau notes with interest
the manner in which folks of the
Oneida School District are uniting
their efforts to make the school rank
with the best in the county. Further
more they are endeavoring to get &C
quainted with each other and organ
ize their efforts in order that other
community enterprises may be proper
ly handled, The County Agent and
Home Demonstration Agent were both
invited to the picnic and wish to ex-
press their appreciation Of the>cnter-
tainment which was accorded them
They hope it will not be too many
moons before another such picnic will
be scheduled.

THE CAUSE OF THE SPREAD
OF ANTHRAX INFECTION

Editor of the Chronicle.
Milford, Del.
Dear Sir:
have never lost my devotion to tn
brilliant little Diamond State. an,
every week l read your excellent pa
per with avidity, recalling the friendl,
people and the scenes that l hav
known.
Recently l read the laws passed TO
the protection of birds by the las
Delaware Legislature. as published il
your columns. and while they contain
ed many admirable features, | wa
astounded at the brutal termination
of Section SO, which says: Provided
however, that it shall be lawful fol
any person to kill any bird commonl!
known as a turkey buzzard. in an!
manner whatsoever"
In many States this useful vultur'
is protected by law and by public sen
timent, from any injury, and it is ac
knowledged to be a benefactor to th'
human family. 1t is the scavenger o.
the sea shores. the fields, the forests
and often of the villages and towns
It prevents many times epidemics o
disease that would arise from decay
ed flesh, and offal. left by the elements
or by careless individuals who neglect
to burn or deeply intern animals that
have died of communicable diseases
And if it is charged that the buzzard
by feeding on the remains, can spread
the cause of the contagion, il is an ac-
acknowledgement that the dead animal
was left unburied to purify and poison
the earth and the air and become the
focus of further infection For. under
such circumstances there are many
agencies, the elements. the predatory
animals and insects, and even the cat
tie owner himself. to spread the dis
ease. Such a person should be severe
ly penalized by law for any such
guilty negligence, and the vulture that
cannot be proved to be the carrier
should not be made the scape-goat for
the real criminal in the case.
Occasionally I see in your valuable
paper that anthrax has broken out
anew in herds of cattle, or in the
horses, in Delaware, and the horsemen
are terrorized by the deadly disease.
Science has established the cause be-
yond peradventure, and the bactereol-
Ogist has demonstrated the fatal germ,
and has provided the serum to cOun-
teract and exterminate it and rescue
the victim from impending death But
in those cases where the proper rem
edy was not used timely enough and
a fatal termination occur, the law
should provide for the proper mea-
sures to be pursued to prevent fresh
contamination and a widening extern
sion of the epidemic, for this is a pub
lie and not private affair. And man
himself has frequently become a victim
of this disease, contracted directly
from the afflicted animal, or from flies
or mosquitoes that have fed upon them
and then attacked the human body.
The baccilli have been found in the
stomachs of flies that have preyed up
on these animals and by inOculating
the lower order of mammals with the
the legs or proboseis of such insects,
the disease speedily appeared and de-
stroyed them. The bites of horse flies

Time has proven how senseless wa!
the opposition to these two great Stat,
papers, and time will likewise prov,
how unwise, to say the least, is the
| opposition to this piece of legislation
lmperfections there may be in it, bu
these are remediable, and in a democ.
racy the remedy is always at hand.
One gets out of a thing about what
he is willing to put into it. Delaware
has gotten out of her old system OF
education just about what she has
been paying form fact, a great deal
more than she has actually paid for
because the conscientious devotion OF
teachers laboring on year after year
cannot be calculated in money values
Dut Delaware under the old system
has not keep abreast with her sisters.
In fact, she is almost out of sight OF
some OF those farthest in advance. The
remedy is a new system, a system in
which more capital is reuired, a sys-
TEN in which the available materials
shall be more highly developed.
When everything has been said. OBJ
lection to the School Code. outside OF
Wilmington at least. resolves itself
into an objection to the investment of
more capital in the business of edu-
cation. Hence in the final anaylsis
1t becomes a business proposition.
Here is a manufacturer who has been
carrying on a pretty successful bust
ness for some twenty-five to thirty
years. He has the same old buildings,
much the same old equipment, the
same old methods, the same old sys-
TEN, when he all at once wakes up
to the fact that his competitors in the
same line Of work are turning out a
better product than he is making. On
investigation he finds that their equip
ment is much better than his, their
system is more efficient, that they do
everything possible to keep their en-
ployees alive to the newest and best
methods. He begins to realize that
he must either get in line with the
more progressive methods or go out
of business. Delaware has found her
self in much the same position. She
knows that she cannot go out of the
business of education, however, and
the only thing that her pride will per-
NIT her is to do exactly what she has
already done-get in line with the new
order of things and reconstruct from
the bottom up. This sne owes to her
boys and girls. Only thus can she
realize her ambition of playing a lead
ing part in the future as she has in
the past.

County Supt. of Kent County.

or green flies thus impregnated have
inoculated horses and cattle and thus
spread the disease through herds that
would not otherwise have contracted
it.
But the leaving of such dead animals
unburied is the criminal cause of the
disease being conveyed to neighboring
cattle. For it has been found that,
besides the insects named, dogs, cattle
and swine that have fed upon the car
rion. have been attacked by anthrax
and have conveyed it to other animals.
The victim dead of this virulent infec-
tion should be buried in a place re-
mote from streams or ponds or marshy
ground, in a pit dug not less than four
feet deep, for the spores of the disease
continue TO propagate under ground
for years, and under the influence of
rain, or the pereOlation of water on the
side of a hill, will eventually reach
the surface and become the source of
another epidemic. In Avon, n Y,
nine months after any cases Of the dis
ease, the liquid leaking out on a river
bank, near the grave of a victim Of
a year before, was licked by six cat
tie and in two days all had perished.
On the same pasture victims were
seized yearly for seven years, until
all the graves were fenced in, when
the malady disappeared.
1t is not my purpose to treat of all
the methods of conveyance of the in
fection. but to show that negligence in
of the carcass and other in
fected material about it, is responsible
for the, temperance of anthrax in
other victims. The disease is a world
wide affair and constantly appears
and reappears. not only in southern
attitudes, but in northern regions. like
Scotland, Canada, the Baltic
provinces of Germany, and the Arctic
climates of Russia-places unknown
to the turkey buzzard
Milford chronicle., 1919-08-29

And, if all the vultures Of the world
were exterminated. the disease would
still continue as long as the world
lasts. unless with scrupulous care all
the victims and the contaminated lit
ter should be burned or deeply buried,
and cattle be fenced from pasturage
or from impOunding where the malady
has been.
1t is to be hoped that public senti-
ment in Delaware will not tolerate
the wanton destruction Of so useful a
vulture as the turkey buzzard, but will
insist upon its protection by law. and
at the same time will demand legisla-
tion for the protection of cattle. horses
and swine from the contagion of an
thrax and other bacterial diseases.
