ROSE AND QUEEN.
The LOafer and Worker In Cow Hide
and Their Records.

circular from the Illinois expert
ment station gives the record Of two
cows, Rose and Queen. Rose was
bought as n four-year-old for $50. She
is now past sixteen, and her record
for the past ten years is stated as
follows:
Butter fat. $50 pounds at % cents $4,000
Skim milk. 1886 pounds at 10 cents
per 100 pounds Observation-Disclosures. uO.Z9
Seven calves a heifers), at least. 5000
Total income ................'...'..'''N ~. -
Cost OF keep, at $40 per year ....... 10000
500. %
The income for three more years
should be added TO this in estimating
what the COW has done as life work.
In the same herd is a COW called
Queen. This COW has also made IA rec
ord of 912 pounds of butter fat, or
1,062 pounds of butter in six years.
Thus while Rose gave an average of
AS pounds of butter per year Queen
made only III pounds. In her best
year Rose made 677.3 pounds of but
ter. or more than one ton. From their
pictures the two cows seem TO be Of
about the same size and would proba-
bly, consume about the same quantity
of food. During the ten years. Of the
record Rose also produced seven calves,
four of them being heifers. If these
are anything like their mother every
one Of them should be kept.
The Yearly Income.
1t will be seen that Rose gave an
average yearly income for butter fat
of 500 while Queen gave only $3S. 1t
may be possible to feed a COW for $3S
year. The station puts the cost at
$40, and if this is fair figure Queen
lost 81 each year, while Rose gained
500 for her owner. Thus Professor
Fraser is justified in saying that one
| COW is great success while the other
Is a charity boarder, says the Rural
New Yorker. Now, the question is,
How many deadbeats like this Queen
are there in your herd! Nearly every
INFESTED herd can show them. In
eighteen Illinois herds, containing 333
cows. there were found seventy-four,
or one In five, that were as poor as or
poorer than Queen. There they were
eating their heads off and expecting
their owners TO get his pay out of their
society and the manure.
what Professor Fraser Says.
1t is just as Professor Fraser says:
quite unsupported these Queens
have everywhere honeycombed dairy
society. but they have no rightful
standing in the stalls OF breadwinners
and should be unmasked by the scales
and test and sent to the only destina-
ton to which they have an honest
ticket, without stop over or return-the
butchers block. Look out for these
idle, spendthrift Queens. They may
not look much different from worthy
cows. but they are Extraordinarily

luton clearing Chatham was an express
sion providing that 1t shall constitute

or member of any state committee, to
deal In futures.
The resolution generating Chatham
declares that while all forms of specula-
ton are disapproved Of yet the commit
tee finds that Mr.. Cheatham was acting
only for other parties. and in view of
the fact that there Is nothing in the con-
stituton which makes a person incom-
petent to hold office because he deals in
futures and because of Mr. Cheatham' s
competency, efficiency and fidelity, and
of the fact that we believe the assaults
on Cheatham came from the enemies of
this association we dismiss the charges
as unworthy of further consideration and
denounce all charges made against Mr..
Chatham, except what is hereinbefore
stated, as false. That in the future it
shall constitute an offense against this
association for any officer or member of
the executive committee or state officer
to in any way deal in futures, and any
one violating this shall be expelled from

SCARCITY OF LABOR
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Much More So Than Produc-

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
State Fairs and Trade Displays Are At
tracing Buyers-Wholesale Re-
port Business Strong
and Active,

New York. September 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Money market Irregularities had no i'll
effect on legitimate business, and prices of
securities quickly rallied when gold I'M
ports were arranged Scarcity of labor is
a much more important trade influence
than the production of factories and caus-
ing delays In harvesting of crops, while
structural work is also retarded. Fall
jobbing trade is making progress. Leading
centers are crowded by interior buyers,
who place Ideal orders, especially for
wearing apparel. Quotations are well
maintained and some Improvement is
crease appears in retail trade at most
points. Wholesome reports from the iron
and steel industry and expectations of
large crops have developed tone of con-
fidence In the commercial world that
makes the outlook bright and encourages
new undertaking. Movement of crops
adds to the railway congestion and earn
ings in the month of August were 145
per cent larger than last year.
Foreign commerce at this port for the
last week shows an increase of s., S27, $40
in exports and a loss of $379,S19 in imports
as compared with the same period of
1906
Textile markets still show evidences of
conservatism among buyers, although
mills are busy and confidence in the flu
ture is not impaired.
Only a seasonable amount of new BUSH
ness has appeared for fall wear makes,
and the tone is no less firm
Failures this week in the United States
as reported by r. G. Dun g. Co. are 1873
against 10 last week and 1870 the cor
responding week last year. Failures in

BRADsTREET,s REVIEW.

New York. September 7.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Trade and industry display more snap,
sales shipments and outputs Increase and
later improve as cooler weather sets a
period to the vacation season and fall ac-
tivities become more pronounced States
FAIRS, special trade displays and low rate
excursions help to attract buyers who
retect confidence born of good crop re-
turns and faith In heavy future trade.
Jobbers and wholesalers report business
active, buying free, and shipments taxing
facilities. Railroads return the same re-
ports as to business offering. and there
are rather more evidence of strain In op-
Grating facilities by the heavy movements
or crops, merchandise and fuel. Crop re-
ports, though more variable, are In the
main favorable -sffs
The essential soundness of mercantile
affairs is evidenced by the August fail
ures, the total being the highest in any
month for seven years though individual
examples of financial dishonesty swell liza
bilities of insolyent firms. Collections are
rather better than of late
Crude iron is quiet but finished steel is
in very active demand. There are some
exceptions to the widespread activity, of
course.
Bituminous coal and paper have been
"H"V i"ehei uuii' put even mere and there
are some signs that improvement is not
far away
Some lines Of leather are quiet at the
east, but eastern shoe manufacturers are
confident that good run of recorders for
winter wear goods will be forthcoming.
In cotton goods there is rather more
OF disposition to await the course of
the raw material before ordering far
ahead.
Business failures in the United States
Tor the week ending September number
12 against 1888 last week and 137 In the
like week of 1905.
