VIII Pavadore and Guile Bryant, the
two white men who were arrested last
Monday and placed in the city jail on
the charge of highway robbery. were re-
leased by Judge Feagin in the police
court yesterday.
They were arrested on descriptions
given by several men who had been held
up and robbed near street car stations
in the suburbs.
Several of these victims appeared in
court but failed to identify the prisoners
as the guilty persons and they were re-
leased.
The accused were confident from the
time of their arrest that they would be
able to prove their innocence when given
an opportunity.

During the last year an accurate ac-
count was kept of dairy of twenty
five cows with reference to the exact
period of CESSATION, writes a Vermont
farmer in Hoard's Dairyman. The
cows are mostly young, varying from
two to ten years of age, all in good,
healthful condition ana in blood Guern-
sey and Jersey, mostly of the latter
The sire of the calves was a young
Jersey bull full of vigor and life.
OF the twenty-five cows the longest
period of CESSATION was 291 days. In
this case the mother was five years old
and the calf was a female. The short
est period was PA days, the calf fe-
male, the mother six years old.
The average period of CESSATION for
the entire herd was 2s4 1926 days; to
tai number of male calves dropped, IA,
of heifer calves, II. Cows carrying
male calves went on an average OF
2S6 2-7 days, while those carrying fe-
males averaged 2s3 2-11 days.
1t thus appears that this record is
confirmatory of the correctness of the
opinion of dairymen generally that 49,
days is the usual period Of CESSATION
for the cow under normal conditions.

A bill has been drawn by Senator
Amber, member of the legislative COM
mittee of the New York state grange,
and introduced in the New York state
senate, giving the grange the power to
name one of the trustees of Cornell
university, which has heretofore been
named by the state agricultural socie-
ty When the university was founded
agriculture was recognized as the basic
industry of the state and as such enti-
tied to representation on the board of
trustees. At that time the State Agri-
cultural society was the best represent
alive body Of farmers in the state, and
its president has for many years been
trustee of the university Since the
state fair has been taken out of the
hands of the State Agricultural socie-
ty and put under the control of COM
mission the agricultural society has
ceased to be a representative body for
agriculture for the state, and in reality
agricultural interests have had no rep
resentative on the board Of trustees for
some time. The grange today is the
best representative body of farmers in
the state, and to it properly belongs the
selection of a trustee to represent
farmers WATERFOWL Reformer.

1.-THE Seed Corn Special is a very
novel and interesting innovation in the
line of modern and progressive agri-
cultural education. Tried for the first
time last year as an experiment, the
plan is this spring being generally
adopted by nearly all the big railway
systems of the western country 1t
consists of special train made up of
two large passenger coaches for audi
ence rooms, a Pullman sleeper and a
cafe car for the accommodation of the
lecturers and instructors The train
covers the entire system of the road in
given state, stopping at towns about
forty miles apart, where lectures are
given by experts on seed corn in the
corn sections and upon seed grain for
the cereal crops in those localities out
side the corn belt Stops are made
for forty minutes at these points and
farmers picked up at intermediate sta
tons and given free transportation
to and from the points where the meet
ing is held. The evening meetings are
planned for the larger towns, where at
some hall or opera house full pro-
gramme on agricultural topics is given.
In this unique manner thousands of
farmers are reached, they being at
tracted by the novelty of the plan, and
much practical and useful information
is given them. The railroads lend a
most hearty support to the scheme, for
better farming means bigger crops,
and bigger crops mean better business
for them. The states of Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota
and South Dakota are running these
specials this year

HuRTFUL RIVALRY.

1t beats all what lot of useless and
harmful scrapping there is often found
in the small towns and rural commune
ties. The different church denomina-
lions have it in for each other the
lodges show their fraternal feeling by
fighting other like organizations, and
the strife and rivalry crop out in all
social affairs and what may be termed
the general public interests of the
community. and ali this when harmony,
unity and local public spirit are so
sorely needed i'll friendly cooperative
effort to secure the best that there is
in living, where wants and needs are
many and workers all too few People
do not realize what the splendid posi-
biiities are connecteI with concerted
and united effort on the part of all the
people in a community and how much
might be accomplished where all the
people pull together The truth is
that there are altogether too many
churches, too many fraternal organiza-
lions in all our towns. This overorgan-
ization not only cripples the best inter-
ests of the community, but imposes a
most serious financial burden upon it.
While men cannot be expected to all
look at things just alike, it still is folly
to maintain so many separate organ
izations just to foster and exploit some
peculiar religious or economic notion
which of itself is of absolutely no inn
portance whatever as affecting either
the present or future life of the people.
1t almost seems as though the better in
formed and more civilized the people
become the less sense they have In the
matter of community living. Society
today needs the same policy Of concen-
tration applied to it which is chang
ing all our commercial methods, to the
end that stop may be put to wasted
energy and effort as well as money.
