Blood Tells.-Recently 308 American
beeves were sold in London at cents
per pound, an average price OF 1913,
the herd bringing the snug sum OF $780,
054.64. The Polled Angus in this ship
ment brought full 500 each; the Here
fords came next, and next the Short
horns. The average weight was 1850
pounds. These beeyes. it is said, reached
their destination without loss and ac-
tually in better condition than when
placed on shipboard. This shows that
the cattle were carefully managed up
to the day of sale. and that the breed
ing. and treatment were profitable.
II. b. Gurler thinks the first move
for q dairy farmer who has not tested
his cows, should be to have them tested.
and become acquainted with them indi-
yidually. Weed out all the Improbable
ones. Then select bull from some
dairy breed.

Company in the pole case recently heard in
the Police Court, filed formal motion for
a new trial in Judge Kimbalrs court late

served on Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny,
is as follows:
Now come the said defendants Philip F.
Bashford and Daniel Scanlon. and jointly
and severally move the court for new
trial of said information and for grounds
thereof, show:
Il. The court erred in holding that the
original pole at the corner of 10Th street
and Pennsylvania avenue was not, for the
purposes of this trial and in law, the pole
of the United States Electric Lighting Com
pany.
90 The court erred in holding that the
second pole erected at the above mentioned
point was, in law, a new pole Of the United
States Electric Lighting Company.
80. The court erred in holding that the
attempted maintenance by the United
States Electric Lighting Company of said
original pole by replacing the same with a
new pole without permit and after a per-
NIT had been refused, was unauthorized and
unwarranted by law.
Il: The court erred in holding. upon the
established facts that any permit to replace
the old pole with new one was required by
law
"5. The court erred In holding that there
was any evidence whatever showing or
tending to show that the accused, or either
OF them. erected or assisted in erecting the
pole in question.
"6. The court erred in holding upon the
facts Of the case, that the accused were
liable upon the information fled

RESOLUTION FOR ADJOuRNNE.xT
Senator Platt Proposes That Congress
Quit May z.

When asked for his reasons for introduc-
tion of his resolution for the adjournment
of Congress on May ., Senator Platt re-
piled that he had put in the resolution be-
cause he believed that Congress could COM
plete all the business that it will be able to
do by that time.
ut is perfectly clear" he said THAT
there will be no important legislation dur
ing the session except that embraced in the
appropriation bills, and there is no reason
why those bills should not be disposed of
in the six weeks allowed by the resolution.
Practically there are only five appropria-
ton bills still to be considered in the House,
They will not require more than a months
time, if that much, in the House, and the
Senate ought to be able to finish up what
will be left for it to do two weeks after the
House is through
THE Senate committee on appropriate tions
is practically ready to report the post office
and Indian appropriation bills, which are the
only bills now before it, and is well up with
the House in this work. This being the
case we should begin to look to adjourn
ment. l see no reason for remaining here
merely for the purpose of introducing and
talking upon agitating resolutions and am
persuaded that the country would, under
the circumstances, he better satisfied to
have us at home than to have US here"
The Senator added that a large majority
of the Senators favored early adjournment,
and that most of those with whom he had
talked, thought it could be ACCOMPLISHED 5y
