minutes that can be gained in case of

the pleasures to be derived from having
in your homes means Of immediate COM
munication with relations, neighbors. or

The telephone will pay for itself by
getting better market prices. 1t will
save several dollars every month by
avoiding needless trips to town. 1t will
deliver and receive kilograms and impor-

FOR NATIONAL AID.
Col. BrOwnIow Talks About His Road
Bill which He Has Reintro-
,duced In House.

Congressman w. p. Brownlow, of Ten
nessee, has introduced in the house his
well-known roads bill. Acting on the
tions of friends, Col. Brownlow has re-
vised the bill somewhat, but all impor-
tant features have been preserved. The
new bill appropriates $24,000,000 to be
used as a fund for national aid in the
Improvement of highways. This sum IS
made available during the next three
years, at a rate of $8,000,000 annually.
No state or subdivision thereof can Sc
cure any part of this fund without rails
Ing an amount equal to the share re-
ceived. The distribution among the
several states and territories is to be
made on an equitable basis so as to leave
no room for log rolling" In reference
to the bill, Col Brownlow said the other
day:
II think my good roads measure has
made wonderful progress during the
past year. Conventions all over the
country have Endorsed 1t, and number
of state legislatures have adopted reso-
lutions in favor Of 1t. The number Of
public men who have come out for 1t has
exceeded my highest expectations. In
the west and south the sentiment for
the bill is especially strong. A large
number of senator's and members from
those sections have assured me of their
willingness to support the measure,
and 1t will also have some strong sup
port from the eastern states, where
state aid has paved the way for nation
al aid. can't see how any man repre-
senting a rural constituency can vote
for a river and harbor bill and refuse to
vote for my bill. And don't see how any
one who wants the rural free mail deliv-
cry extended in his state or district can
refuse to support measure to aid In i'm
proving the roads, for bad roads are al
most the sole obstacle to such extern
sions. am hopeful Of getting the bill
up for discussion in the house early in
thesfesular session." -

JAPAN WAITS ON CAR.
Russia Ii Considering n Reply That

st. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The Rus.
sian government Is still considering
the reply of the japanese government
to its note which was sent in answer
to Japan's demands relating to the.
situation in the far east. A reconsid
Grafton of the proposals made in the
Russian note Is considered as matter
of course here. Russia has never been
disposed to take any step which would
lead to an abrupt termination of the
negotiations with Japan. In answer
to many inquiries the Russian foreign
Office has always insisted that the Rus
sian proposals were so liberel that II
would be scarcely probable to conceive
any further concessions. While the
foreign Office is unwilling to admit
that Russia Is prepared to offer more
than the concessions outlined in the
last note. it is considered possible that
the government may suggest changes
by which the Russian requirements
may be met and satisfaction given to
Japan. A rumor has been circulated
here that the United States govern
ment Is still inclined to suggest the
reference of the difficulties between
Russia and japan to The Hague arbi.

lieved to be merely the echo Of for

Cows that make 800 lbs. Of butter or less.

Prof. Wheaton sets a fairly high
standard for the COW that possesses no
value aside from her beef qualifica-
tions. A few years ago some OF our
foremost Jersey breeders thought they
were setting themselves very high
mark when they aspired to bring the
average of their herds up to that point.
We fear a very large percentage OF
the Jerseys of the country would fall
to come up to that standard. and their
beef value would be small recompense
for milking them two or three years at
a loss while determining what they
were going to do. We are afraid Prof.
Wheaton has overlooked one very i'm
portant point in determining the value
of COW for strictly dairy purposes.
Gross returns are one thing, but net
return is sometimes quite a different
proposition, and the latter Is what de-
termines finally the value Of the ami
NAL. For example. In the recent report
of the production and cost Of feed for
the Wisconsin dairy herd we find one
cow standing fourteenth as regards
value of total products. but thirtieth as
regards net returns or returns above
cost of feed consumed. Another COW
of the same breed with Ssh less total
product to her credit returned larger
net profit by 1888. The first mentioned
COW stood second in cost of food con-
sumed the feed bill being 1887 more
than for the largest butter producer
in the herd, and six dollars more than
for the COW yielding the greatest value
of total products, In figuring above
total products the calf is not consid-
ered.-Prairie Farmer.
