1. 159 herds. consisting of S,72S cat
tie. have been placed under State
Federal supervision for the eradica-
ton of this disease. As the Federal
plan provides for the payment OF
Federal indemnity on only the first
two tests of each herd, the Delaware
State Board of Agriculture recOg-
nized the Necessity Of continuing the
testing of the herds under super
vision. in order to eradicate Bang S
disease from the herds, and not to
lose the advantage of the work al
ready done, and had bill introduced
into the recent session of the Legis-
lature to permit the State Board OF
Agriculture to pay State indemnity,
in the same amount as the Federal
indemnity, on PeactOrs to subsequent
tests, until the entire herd should
have passed a sufficient number OF
clean tests to be accredited.
This measure. which has been
passed by the Legislature and signed
by the Governor, is extremely import
ant to the dairymen Of the State. as
the State Board OF Health has ruled
that, by July 1. 1885, all dairymen
in the State delivering Grade A raw
milk must have their herds tested
for Bangs disease and all reactOrs
removed. and that by July 1, 1886,
all those selling Grade B raw milk
must have their herds free from in
fected animals. This is a public
health measure necessitated by the
marked increase in the number OF
cases of Undulant fever reported
not. only in Delaware. but through
out the entire country, during the
past few years. Undulant fever in
man is caused by contact with the
Brucella germs. ANY of the three
varieties previously mentioned, Bru-
celia Abortus. Brucella Suis, and
BrucelIa Melitensis. from cattle.
swine, and goats, may cause the dis
ease in man. The live germs may
be taken into the digestive tract
through the consumption of raw
milk, cream or butter. They may
also enter the body through cuts or
breaks in the skin when handling
infected cattle, swine or goats. In
vestigators have shown that approx
imately so percent Of the cases Of
Undulant fever acquire the infec-
tion through the use of raw milk
from diseased cattle, and that 40
percent are infected through direct
contact with infected animals or
their discharges.
The eradication of Bangs disease
must. therefore, be considered both
from the standpoint Of public health
and that Of milk production and prof
liable dairy farm management

Supplies of Texas spinach are de-
creasing but Virginia shipments are
gaining and likely to increase fur
ther, probably causing prices to re-
cede from previous comparatively
hieh levels Virginia, and South
Carolina spinach averaged near 81
per bushei for good stock toward the
middle Of the month Early receipts
from New Jersey also brought
around 81. Most current supplies
of spinach are only fair to ordinary
and receipts this season have been
lighter than last year through the
season.
Prices of sweet potatoes are NOV
ing at about the same range as in
recent weeks. The eastern markets
possibly average a little higher, Ow-
ing to better demand and the in
fiuence Of rising prices of some other
vegetables. New Jersey yellow stock
sold mostly at sl.25 bushel in New
York. Southern Nancy Halls
brought .75c to 81 in several mar
kets. Supplies Of southern tOma-
toes have been increasing and prices
tended downward although quality
is improving a little.
Steady Apple Markets
Apple markets have continued
quiet without definite change in con-
di.ions except the moderate advance
for northwestern box pack. Green
ings are rapidly going out of mar
ket Most Mcintosh show effect of

been light alFalong and many Of the
Ben Davis have been picked up by
the truck buyers at low prices.
Heaviest eastern shipments are from
the sections including Virginia and
adjacent states. Prices Of Eastern
apples have not changed much from
the prevailing level of 81 to $1.5O

standard grades and varieties in city

jects which would cost a total OF
about $1.5OO.OOO have already been
proposed. A special committee OF
the Wilmington Chamber of Com.
merce recently conducted a survey
of Wilmington approaches in which
IL recommended elimination of sew
eTal grade crossings, including those
at Elsmere and on the causeway.
This committee recommended that
these two crossings be eliminated
by building bridges and that the
dangerous crossings at Richardson
Park, on the Newport road, and at
SilverbrOok. on the Lancaster Pike,
be eliminated by underpasses. James
r. Morford, attorney. headed the
committee.
Construction of an Over-pass at
Elsmere Junction would make even
more desirable and practicable
dual highway from Union Park Gar
dens to Prices Corner, a project
which has been urged since the troll
ley right-Of-way along a consider
able section of the road at the
Prices Corner end was vacated.
This stretch extends from Prices
Corner almost to Elsmere.
The only money the State will
have to put up, Mr.. Mack said, will
be whatever is required to obtain
release of ground or other property
at the site of the crossing. It is not
expected this will be any consider
able sum, ard certainly will not de-
ter the program in any way.

Produce Market Notes

The gain of 10 to Is percent in
the movement the first half Of April,
was mainly because shipments OF
northern potatoes were stimulated
BY rapidly advancing prices, ard the
truck crop outRntEtHenl the soqth
was Increasing moderately With the
progress OF the season. There we're
sharp early gains IN carlot ship
ments OF lettuce, caulinOwer, straw
berries, and tomatoes. Most south
ern products, except peas and pep
pers, are back to a volume fairly
normal for the time OF year.
Shipments OF old onions are near
ly over. The potato movement is
active but shipping territory " mar
rowing down. with the shortage OF
available supplies Of far western
stock and gradual exhaustion Of good
marketable potatoes in the central
west. Colder weather has been less
favorable to crops in the East, but
the season is early along the At
lantic Coast. Lateness IN the West
and earliness in the East IS likely
T. bring strong competition between
eastern and western produce next
month.
The northern cabbage season
closed out near top prices for what
little stock was still in good CON
ditiOn. About three cars day were
still moving the first half Of April.
Sales in small lots in city markets
were ON the basis Of about $50 per
ton. Cabbage from Holland sold at
the rate Of about St25 per ton in
New York. Shipments Of new cab
bage are increasing rapidly from
South Carolina aud Florida. lnclud-
ing much low grade stock attracted
by recent shortage and high prices.
Old carrots were in better demand
in producing sections. Common
stock was reported we'll cleared out
and more carrots from cold storage
were reaching some markets.

NO MAGIE

EARN people now realize there is
nothing magical about cooperative
institutions; they require cold, hard
practical business procedure" said
the Secretary Of the National Co
operative Council recently.
Any farmer who expects c0-opera-
tive arrangements to pull economic
rabbits out of a hat Is obviously
doomed TO disappointment And so
Is any farmer who believes that II
he joins a coop all his problems will
be solved IN jig-tlme, and his bank
account will Immediately start to
swell. Sound co-operatives work
slowly and carefully. They plan for
the long pull. rather than for tran
STORY benefits. They take no steps
that are not building for sound
and prosperous future-they seek
eventual stability, and they know
that cannot be achieved through
legerdemain.
II speaks well for the foresight OF
the American farmer that be has
stuck stubbornly to his cooperative
during depression, when Il seemed
that little or no progress was being
made. Now the fruits Of that are
beginning to appear; the farm in

"WeIl!" gasped Mrs. Brown, al
most speechless.
Mary Lou, welding a duster,
vigorously, hurried on. "I'm going
to fix It all, here, as nice as found
it, then I'm going home to my own
dear room and make it bright and
shiny-and keep it that way, too"
Mary Lou finished with the solemn
ness Of a vow.
Mrs. Brown departed beaming.
"An unexpected cure" she said to
herself. Looks like it might be
permanent one, too"
Which, indeed, it turned out TO

sneak, then changed her mind. II

her room was much prettier than

of disorder, there was no compari-

with a sigh, she walked into the
