 time. Some months ago he went to New York and submitted to an oper- ation for the removal of cancer, in a hospital in that city. AS soon as he recovered sufficient strength he was removed to Norwalk. He did not improve and began to slowly waste away, as the seeds of the disease could not be removed. He was patient un der his sufferings until death called. Mr. Bates was well-known in Nor walks political and business life. He had been a member of the Court of City Council of 1898. During the lat ter term he served as chairman of the Highway committee. MT Bates, who was born in StratfOrd in November, 1858, established in Norwalk in busi- ness in 1869.

Price, of Norwalk, and Captain Rider of Danbury, in the marble and stone business, in Mechan- icS street, under the firm name of Price, Bates & Co. Later, when this firm dissolved, he started for himself at the rear of the Opera House block, in his present location. Some months ago the business was recognized as a stock company, under the name of the Bates Stone company. The deceased was member of Our Brothers Lodge, l. o. o. K.

THE YOUNG FATHER.
Emotions That Ovsrcoae Hin Are Exper-

Emotions That Ovsrcone Hin Are Exper-
fenced but Once.
When the average novel writer
wishes to describe a set Of emotions for
which he has no appropriate name,
he usually refers to them as being
mingled" and this, perhaps, better
than anything else, reflects the condi-
tion Of a man when be first becomes a
father.
Coupled with the feeling of intense
pride that comes to you as one Of the
interested" parties in such momen-
tous event, is the kindred feeling of
utter insignificance you also have,
which acts as an antidote.
After being ordered out of the room
by the doctor and the trained nurse
You wander aimlessly down side
street, although you cannot for the life
Of you tell what there is to be ashamed
nt-and as sou approach your office
you grow more and more uneasy.
And yet, while there ia guilt written
all over your face, there wells up in
your heart q veritable fountain of in
tense egotism, which is Immediately on
tap to the first moment of confidence.
But all things have an end. At tho
end of month, while you are at your
desk Mt profit and loss, someone comes
in. slaps you on the back and shouts:
well, old man, how is the babyY,. And
you reply bsent-mindedly, "Oh, he's
all right."-Life.

It is rather surprising to learn that
our modern cup defenders sail no fas-
ter than a vessel Of about the same
size built in 1903. That statement,
however. is made by noted naval ar
chitect OF Boston. He declares that
the famous Salem privateer America,
Of the war OF 1912. sailed faster on her
best point-with the wind on the quar-
ter-than any Of the crack racing
yachts OF today. Her log shows that
she frequently made thirteen knots
with the burden of warship. while
the best speed Of the cup defenders of
today is little better than fourteen
knots In racing trim. 1t Is an inter-
esting fact that the architect In cues
tion. a lineal descendant of one of the
builders Of the privateer, is himself
deoigning boat to defend the cup this
yca-. lie does not expect to surpass
his ancestor.

OF the proposition, that fair dealing

FEEDING AND BREEDING.
The Two Go Hand in Hand in linz
proving the Value and Indi-
yiduaIIty of Cows.

To what extent does feed affect the
individuality of COW? This is a
question that has yet to be answered,
so far as conclusive experiments are
concerned 1t is doubtless true that
feed is constantly changing the char
acteristics of animals, but we do not
know how rapidly the changes take
place, nor do we know just the effect
each food has. To certain extent we
are feeding in the dark. The Maryland
experiment station has been feeding a
herd of common cows for several years
and noting the effect of proper feed
ing on individuality. c. F. Doane, who
reports on the results, says: ''No very
material results could be noticed the
first year from the extra feed and care
the herd received, but through sub
sequent years there seems to be a
steady improvement. Judging from
the records of these cows, it is ques-
ton if the quality of dairy cow does
not depend almost as much on the
feeding as on the breeding. 1t is also
question if cows that have a more or
less pronounced beef tendency, or, at
least, would not be called good mate
rial from which to build up a dairy
herd, cannot, with proper manage
ment, be developed into profitable
dairy cows" This is a view Of the mat
ter that will not strike some of our
Investigators very favorably. 1t has
against it the generally accepted truth
; that we have now so many good dairy
cows that it will hardly pay to spend
time, feed and effort in an attempt to
reverse tendency already strongly
developed in direction opposite to
that of milk production.-Farmers' Re-

WHAT wEsTcoTr WON BY SONG
Vocal Excellence Rewarded by Pre-
sentation of Articles Wholly
Unsuited to Respiration.

That the author of "Dayid Harum'
was conspicuous for his mellow BARI
tone voice is little thought of by those
who only know him as an author, says
Literary Era. 1t was voice so sweet,
so rich, and so flexible that it could
play any prank with the emotion of
those who heard it, and had Mr. West
colt chosen to de' ote his life to music
he would have become noted singer.
But he contented himself with the
modest position of basso in a quartet
choir in Syracuse, and in defghting
his own special friends by singing in
drawing room. He was fond of tell
ing of an occasion on which he was
invited to sing at a concert in one
of the smaller towns of western New
York, The musical affair passed off
satisfactorily with the help of the
neighborhood talent, assisted by Mr..
WeStcotts rare voice. As Mr.. West
colt was about to retire, his host
came timidly to his room, carrying
two long paper boxes, Il leave the
house so early in the morning to go
to my factory" the man explained,
that I'm afraid l may not see you,
but l want TO give you something for
your singing tonight. Now, here's
two pair of the very best real whale
boned corsets that our factory turns
out, and l want you to take them
home with you" When Mr.. West.
colt found he could not even protest
effectually, his sense of humor came
to his relief, and the fastidious mar
of cultivated extravaganza stalked
home laughing. the next day, with two
pair of useless corsets in exchange fol-
his matchless songs.

FEEDING OF SORGHUM.
Against Its Use Worthy Of Care
full Consideration.

Precaution is necessary in the feed
ing of sorghum. From time to time
reports have been received of cattle
dying from eating the sorghum in
certain stages of growth. All at
tempts to find the poison have failed
thus far. However, the losses have
been so small compared to the num-
Der of cows being fed that the use of
this kind of feed has been continued.
A recent communication from Prof.
d. II. Otis, of the Kansas experiment
station, says: During the time the
Kansas station has been pasturing
sorghum several reports have been
received of cattle dying in ten or fif-
teen minutes from the time they en-
tered the sorghum patch, but in every
case where we have been able to get
details, the cattle have eaten the sor-
ghum on empty or nearly empty
stomachs. Cattle should have their
stomachs SO well filed that they feel
completely satisfied before touching
the green sorghum, and then allowed
to eat only few minutes at time
until they are accustomed to it. If
sorghum can be pastured successful
~, as has been done by the Kansas ex-
pertinent station, it means that the
dairymen and stockmen can get an
immense amount of pasture from
small area, which is available at a
time when their other pastures are
getting short and dry. Pasturlng will
also be the most economical way of
utilizing sorghum. The man that
turns his cattle in a sorghum field,
however, must realize that he may be
taking risks. He must weigh the evil
dence for and against its use and
then decide for himself whether the
benefits will outweigh the risks"
