Twenty seven years ago a Balti-
more newspaper carried a cartoon en-
titled "The Railroads Invade the East
ern Shore"
1t was supposed to picture the COM
ing of the Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia Railway to the Shore, and
showed farm animals scurrying to
places of safety and the hunting for
the "tall timber" by the natives upon
the approach of the "iron horse"
But after 81 years the natives are
coming out of the "tall timber" and
demanding that the "iron horse" re-

The rumor that the Philadelphia
company, reported in all mouths to
be "the junk department of the Fenn-
sylvania Railroad" intends to scrap
the road, will not down.
Assurance, however, has been given
in Baltimore that service will be con-
tinued, at least for a time.
Should the railroad be scrapped it
will mean that many growing commu-
mites along the Eastern Shore would
be without transportation facilities
except by way Of auto and truck.
A Cambridge, Nd, boy and anoth-

For the second time within year
three agricultural club boys from
Maryland will have the honor of rep
resenting the United States in the in
ternational livestock Judging contest
at the English Royal Stock Show.

Newcastle-on-Tyne by July in time
for the English Royal Stock Show.
The team will carry with it hand
some gold cup which came to Ameri-
ca for the first time last year when
lit was won by three agricultural club
boys from Cecil county. The trip last
year was financed by the South
eastern Fair Association, of Atlanta,

AGRICULTURE

A hog which remains in good health
from the day he is narrowed until the
day he is loaded on the market-bound
train is usually a satisfaction to the
farmer, the packer, and the consumer
But there are many diseases and
parasites which beset him during the
few months allotted for his economic
performance. If this performance is
to be creditable one, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, the hog
grower must keep close watch over
his herd and learn to know something
of the symptoms which indicate the
possible approach of dangerous dis
ease.
Hog cholera is the great enemy of
the swine industry, although it has
been diminishing in Importance as a
result of widespread use of anti-hog
cholera serum. It has been reduced
by about 60 per cent from the losses
during the most disastrous years, but
with greater care and better under
standing of the plague it could be re-
duced to a much greater extent.
With the gradually increasing con-
troll of this disease, it is important
that swine growers give attention to
the many other ailments which cause
losses, some of which are frequently
confused with cholera. Among the
diseases with symptoms confused with
those of cholera are anthrax, epilep-
sy, gastroenteritis, necrobacillosis,
pleurisy, pneumonia, poisoning, swine
plague, tuberculosis, and worms.
When there is any deviation from
the normal in gait, appetite, or diges-
ton, it is time for the owner to take
measures to prevent possible losses.
Minor ailments often can be success
fully treated by the owner, but in
case of doubt it is the part of wisdom
to call for a veterinarian.
