ten ded along many lines, as with live
stock and household affairs. The
route statisticians no longer board
with one family as they did the first
two years, but live at each Of the
eight farms three days each month,
maintaining an Office room at one of
the farms. All the farms on the route
are visited each day, however, to OBJ
tain the labor record for the previous
day The route statisticians assist in
doing the chores, and, with a simple
equipment, record for these three
days thirty six days at each farm
during the year the amount of feed
stuffs used by each group of animals
and the yield of milk and the per
cent of butter fat from each COW in
the herd. Practically no changes
were made during these three years
in the methods of farm management
previously in vogue.
The feeding records and yields Of
products thus obtained are reduced to
a daily average and multiplied into
the number of days in the month, thus
giving the approximate record for the
entire month. Dates are recorded
when changes of rations are made Or
when cows are freshened or dried up,
and corrections are made at the close
of the month. The route statisticians
also secure an accurate record of the
time required to feed and care for
each class of live stock. A printed
card is left in every house each month
on which the women of the family
record the number of eggs laid by the
poultry, the number of eggs consum-
ed by the family and the pounds of
milk, butter, poultry aid other kinds
of farm produce consumed.
A complete cash account is kept on
each farm and this record of receipts
and expenditures, together with labor
records, feeding records, etc., is mail
ed to the experiment station each
month, where the various figures are
posted into double entry set of books
for each farm.
The route statistic an keeps a
history card for each field and each
live stock enterprise OH the farm.
The field histories are useful in keep
ing record of the methods of rota-
ton, soil preparation, planting, and
harvesting used by the farmer and
other data concerning the crops. His
tories of lives stock enterprises are
useful in that they may be used to
record explanatory notes and data
supplementary to the ledger ac-
counts.
! By living with each family on the
route three days in the month the
route statistician gets in close touch
with the farmer and is thus enabled to
secure accurate data along the desired
lines.
| The farmers especially appreciate
having the milk of each COW tested
monthly and having a record given
them each year of the amount OF
butter fat produced by each COW, the
total value of her produce and the
cost of her feed. In 1905 eight Wagon
scales were purchased by the .. S
Department of Agricultural and plac'
ed ON the Mortified route in order tC
assist in securing more accurate in
formation concerning crop yields anc
the growth of live stock.

1t may be stated reliably that Judge

named in the near future as Attor-

Vaughn to Remain as Treasurer,
Treasurer J. H. Vaughn informed
Governor Curry yesterday that If he
desired his resignation as treasurer

pointed by Acting Governor Reynolds
that the same would be forthcoming
promptly Governor Curry indicated
that he desired NO such action on the
part of Treasurer Vaughn and the
chances are that Mr.. Vaughn will re-

so ably filled under the Republican
administration.
May Be New Coal Oil Inspector.
1t is reported in the hotel lobbies
and in the Capitol corridors that the
appointment of Coal Oil Inspector of
the Territory may go to Ralph F.
Hunt, well-known citizen of Albu-
querque. However, the report could
not be traced to any reliable source,
but 1t is given simply as a rumor.

DOES NOT REMEMBER DEED
Mrs. Bradley Cannot Recall
Killing Of Arthur Brown.

Washington, Nov 21.-That Mrs.
Bradley did not come to Washington
intending to kill Former Senator Ar
thur NJ. Brown Of Utah and that she
did not even remember shooting him,
she told the jury in her trial here.
The statement was not reached until
the afternoon session Of the court, the
first half of the day being given large
ly to the identification of letters from
Mr.. Brown to Mrs Bradley and from
her to him, very few Of which were
read.
The fact that upon first going to
Senator Browns room at the Raleigh
hotel Mrs. Bradley found there let
ter from Mrs. Annie Adams, the ac-
tress, to the senator, was dwelt on at
some length by Judge Powers, making
1t evident that 1t is his intention to at
tempt to show that the discovery of
this letter supplied the immediate mo-
tive for the killing of Mr.. Brown.
That letter was read at length by Mr.
Wells.
Three letters from Mrs. Bradley to
Brown were introduced by Mr.. Baker
and read as part Of the cross examina-
ton.

President Has Half-Hour Talk
With Democratic Leader.
LATTER HAS FINANCIAL PLAN
Nsbraskan Would Have the Govern
ment insure Depositers in All
National Banks.

Washington, Nov. 23-President
Roosevelt and William ]. Bryan were
in conference for half an hour In the
presidents private Office at the White
House.
Il was not invited to CALL" Mr..
Bryan said on leaving, but I called
up on the telephone and asked when
the president would receive callers
and on being informed came simply
to pay my respects to the president"
Mr.. Bryan was not willing to dis
cnss the details of his interview, but
was free to add details to the 1nan-
cial plan which he proposed a few
days ago. In reviewing every meas.
ure OF relief which had come to his
notice Mr.. Bryan said that nothing
seemed to be intended to meet the
situation rs effectively and at the
same time as simply as the plan he
had suggested. This plan, he said,
was simply to have the government
insure depositors in national banks
against loss by reason of the failure
of the banks It was not intended, he
said, to have the government collect
a fund for this purpose to be kept on
hand Whenever national bank
should be required to pay its depos
itors it would be the duty of the gov
eminent to make an assessment on all
national banks to meet the amount of
loss by reason of the failure. This
assessment, Mr.. Bryan said, would be
infinitely small.
Opposition to this plan, Mr. Bryan
conceded, might be made by state
banks who would be left out of the
plan. The answer to this, he said,
was that the states should individually
as a guarantor against loss to depos-
itors in state banks.
Mr.. Bryan said as yet no plan had
been made to have his relief measure
presented in congress However, he.
felt very enthusiastic over the pros
pect of It's ultimate success. Being
asked as to his position on the tariff
he said it was evident nothing could
be hoped for in the way of tariff re-

CUT IN WAGES ORDERED.
General Strike of New York Building
Trades May Result


New York, Nov. 23-A conference
Of Importance to the $4,000 skilled
mechanics in the building trades in
this city has just been held at which
the master carpenters organization
gave notice to the Brotherhood of
Carpenters that after Jan. ] their
wages will be reduced from SIS to $3.50
a day. Because of the tightness in
the money market the construction Of
buildings has decreased so per cent
and this the master carpenters gave
as reason for their action.
The question has been referred to
AN arbitration board provided for by
agreement between the employers and
the men, but representatives of the
latter have declared that they will
strike rather than accept a reduction.
Mechanics in the other trades are
fearful that if the master carpenters
are successful in reducing wages their
example will be followed by employers
in other trades
