A NEW REGIME AT THE CAPE MAY FARMSTEAD We would ask you who reads this, whether a permanent resident (Jape May, or & summer visitor, to make a visit to the Cape May Farmstead, where improvements in all directions have been effected since last season. Here you will see an up-to-date Dairy, a magnificent Herd of Jersey Cattle. Tuberculin tested, and a Poultry and Duck Farm that can hardly he est-elied. In addition, the herd is under the direct inspection of the State Veterinarian. The Cows are groomed ' twice daily, and Udders are carefully washed before each milking. Each milker wears a white linen suit and the Milk is drawn from tlie Cow into covered Sterilae Milk Pails which are furnished with, a double set of strainers to prevent airy foreign matter contaminating the milk. The Dairy is fitted with all knSwn appliances to ensure the purity of the milk, and all mechanical work is done by electricity. To take all these precautions and provide the best appliances, has been an enormous expense, and why has this been done? so that our patrons should have such absolutely pure milk that it can hardly be surpassed no matter what source it comes- from. Milk is acknowledged to be so necessary an article of diet that no precaution taken can be too great to ensure its reliability. Commencing with the first of June we wif! supply select family milk, with a 5 % but for fat test at 20c per quart. This will Ik* supplied only in paper non-r.-fillable bottles. The nursery Milk will be sold at 15c per quart and the household milk at irfc per quart. Speaking of the Poultry Department, we will have 3000 broilers and 1500 Ducklings to supply our patrons, ami the supply of newly laid eggs unlimited. AH our birds an; alfalfa fed to produce that sweet and tender flesh which is so desirahlcjto_yonnoissi*urs.

CHAUTAUQUA PUBLICITY CAR! ji: TRAVEL STAINED LITTLE FORD r RUNABOUT HERE WITH MESSRS. 8 WILEY AND SHERRED-BIG BAN- ' NER TWENTY FEET LONG STRETCHED ACROSS STREET. , The Chautauqua advertising car arrived here this morning, to put the ] town into festive array for Chautauqua ' ( week. Messrs. A. B^ Wiley and N. i Sherred were in charge of Uie car, a | travel -stained little Ford runabout, I ^ which stays here and in the CountjfRJL day today and tomorrow. f L This car has an active program mapped out for it.

RABIES AND DOG-DAYS Tlie coming of the "dog-days."' es- ( pcciallv if tin* season happens to l»nig — with it one or more prolonged heated , I* periods, attracts the attention of tlie,( public generally much more to the 1 , , "danger from rabies than do definite re-*, • ports of the spread of the disease at i ^ other seasons of the year, which ought j to arouse solicitude. Boards of alderI men, city councils and town officials of H I other kinds wake up from tlie most ab- 1 ' solute lethargy with regard to the dis- j 1 j ease at tbi6 time. and. Specially in j the smaller towns and country places, ■ pass ordinances and revive regulations , requiring dogs to be muzzled while on the streets. This is all the more amus- : ing because the term "dog-days" has no . reference to dogs, but is borrowed from the Romans, who called Sirius, the brightest of the fixed stars, the dogstar. At one time during the Roman epoch, the rising of this star coincided with the rising of the sun in the latter part of July, The twenty days preceding and the twenty days following this conjunction were for the Romans dies canto, the days of the dog— or the dog-star. Rome had Us fiercest heats usually during this period; therefore, the time was dreaded and came to have the imputation of an unhealthy season, though not with any special reference to the dogs of Bo me. Ia our day Oto mi*. u, -4 to that dogs are especially likely to go

mud at this time. The consequence ! is that, while the animals are made uncomfortable by nose muzzling, their dis- : comfort is greatly added to by the toolish dread which keeps people from giving them water or caring for them • properly. Rabies may occur at any season of t^e year; the actual etatis- * i tic* show greater frequency of the disease during the winter than during the. summer mouths. It to most common in the early spring, and March and April would be a much better time to select for "dog-days" in the popular sense than the weeks of July and Augl list tliat- have by misapprehension come to be looked on as the special period of danger. '« I Te recent Seattle epidemic shows much of real danger there is from | this disease when it pains a foothold because of neglect of proper precautions. Surgeon Lloyd of tbe Public Service recently reported that up to the beginning of June there had 361 cases of canine rabies in tjie city of Seattle since the outbreak of the disease began in September, 1913. ' Up to this the disease hsd not been ob- ' I served in Seattle. This is what may occur practically • anywhere in this country if the infre1 ' quency of the disease begets over-con- ' fldencc and neglect. Although we dto'lapproi'e tlie infliction of unnecessary i suffering on animals, says The Journal | of the American Medical Association, the popular dread of dogs during the ! misunderstood dog-days affords to phys1 irians an educational opportunity too ' j pood to be lost . Tis is the time when I they may profitably emphasize the ' i need for special precautions with regard ! to the spread of rabies . The problem , ' of the control of rabies is mainly the ' 'care of stray animal* and of those that 1 have no proper owner, but live more or 1 less on the bounty of tbe community. " Careful registration of animals and the ' destruction of those for which no one ' would assume responsibility to the ex- ' tent of paying a yearly license would 'greatly limit the disease. The problem is simpler in England, but the success

is practically obliterating the disease for the last twenty years in that country shows what can be accompltob- ' e,T V.' need — fntcttlgCTt; — jiersistent 1 scientific interest to prevent tlie spread ' I of the disease and not the annual attack of hysteria that inflicts cruelty . without accomplishing any good pur- ^ pose . : 0 . ■ | FILES PETITION FOR COUNTY CLERK i William Porter Las filed his petition • with the County Clerk for the office i of County Clerk.
