Dairying occupies an important place in the agricultural interests of Connecti- cut, and the storrs Station, recognizing this fact, has recently given much at- tention to the consideration of problems in connection with the subject. Prof c. L. Beach, Instructor of Dairying at the Connecticut Agricultural College, made a canvass last summer among the large number of herds which supplied certain creamery, for the purpose of finding out the average milk and butter yield per COW. In IA Study of Dairy Cows," a Bulletin just issued by the storrs Station, he points out the fact that the general average Is low, in fact, considerably below what should be considered the profit yielding point. Prof Beach be- lieves that the herds examined are fairly representative of the cows to be found on the average Connecticut farm, and sug- gests that dairying in Connecticut can be made far more profitable than 1t Is at the present time. While he believes that errors in feeding and care are responsible in part for this low average, he considers the chief reason to be that the cows them selves are not perfectly adapted to the purpose for which they were selected, and that no amount of proper care and feed could bring many of them up to the point of yielding good profit to theiI owners. He believes that cows of the regular dairy type should be selected fol milk and butter production, as opposed tt the "general.purpose" or "beef" COW, ant kIN6a s0&&eseiUus ns 6O bno SAaA 0SbCA istIcs and general conformation to b. observed in selecting 8 dairy herd.

Editorial Ink Drops.

The way real estate has declined in value in Connecticut towns in the last 30 years is surprising. A case to illustrate this much discussed point occurred in Bethlehem the other day, where & very desirable farm Of 60 acres or more, with good buildings on 1t was sold under the hammer at less than $16OO, smaller dgure than it would cost to replace the oarns. At the same time tract of land which the former farmer bought 20 years ago at 5000 was knocked down at $S5. All this doesn't go to prove that farming cannot be made to pay. There are many good farmers in Bethlehem to-day, and men that are laying aside money too. But it goes to show that the hustllng at- tractive life of the cities is the drawing card which entices the boys, and many of the men also, away from the farms. But 1t would seem that country real es- tate had touched the lowest notch. A reaction has already set in, and is being felt ill some country places. But 10 or 20 years hence we look to see the tide turn heavier still toward the farms.

occurred near Bassetts, Texas, 80
miles south of Texarkana, on the
train coming north, in which Postal
Clerk John M Dennis was almost

valuable packages.
Dennis was revived sufficiently
at a hospital to say that two men
