COW.
A large number Of farmers
and not a few who arc making a
specially Of dairying have allow
ed their milk yield to run down
in the last few weeks because
pastures got short and there
was no forage crop to be used
with a short pasture. No man
who is farming or running a
dairy for the money he is max.
ing out OF it can afford to repeat
this error next year.
The udder may be formed we'll
by kncading and rubbing the
uddcr OF young heiicrs and
drawing their tcats. This ma
nipulation has more than a little
effect in increasing milk sccrc-
ton. II the work is carefully
done it also makes the hciscr

imagine that one such operation
is all that IS necessary. This
case is no exception TO tho rule
that good results require con.
siderable good work.
Dairy cows of heavy milk pro.

cows arc his best; but the

weighing and testing milk for
butter fat has repeatedly shown.
a farmer cannot afford TO weigh

conditions, but those who arc
so situated that they cancertain.

For dresses in lightweight materi-

quite a small affair. extending back
and front just below the waist line
When a body is made with this half
lining the fullness Of the waist line is
fastened into a piece Of regular waist

Or if the bodice is quite thin ma

To give a perfectly straight line
from the shoulders to the waist in

This applies not only to bodices Of

The fullness or trimming must be
kept quite straight from top to bot

''The situation Il much improved"
Dispatches indicate that the Boston
financial situation Is very favorable
according 10 all classes Of bankers.
There has been no abnormal demand
for funds at any Of the banks. The
local financial system was reorganized
seven or eight years ago by the ellmi-
nation OF thirty or more national
banks and trust companies and the for

Bryan Talks 20 Hearst.

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-W. ]. Bryan
Is at the Hotel Victoria. having re-
turned from his lecture tour Of the
state. Augustus Thomas, president Of
the Progressive Democratic league,
who accompanied Mr.. Bryan on the
tour, said that It had been very sue
cessful.
Alr Bryan when asked 10 comment
on the financial situation said that he
saw no cause for alarm. as the coun-
try was prosperous and crops were
good everywhere. The only danger, he
said, was that money might be with
drawn by timld depositors from banks
and savings Institutions His atten-
tlon was called 10 an interview with
Senator Elkins. who said that the trou-
bic was that the business OF the coun.
try had increased faster than the
supply Of money, that business had
increased 30 per cent and money only
3 per cent and that q new currency
bin would have 10 be introduced at
the next session Of congress.
eSenator Elklns does not say what
period is covered by the Increases" 4"
Nj Bryan said. "That Is important
/ do not know what kind Of currency
he proposes TO add to the existing sup
ply, but II 1t IS an asset currency It
Will simply aggravate matters, An
emergency currency will simply make
things worse. II is bad enough to
have people lose confidence IN banks,
but Il IS much worse for them TO lose
confidence In their money. Ny own
idea Of what the remedy should be IS
that Of q guarantee fund for the pro
lection OF banks raised by taxation on
the banks. The trouble IS that you
can't get the bankers 70 agree 20 that,
for they look at It as a question Of
profit. They don't want 10 be taxed
for the protection Of somebody else.
Il don't think It IS fair TO blame Mr.
Roosevelt for pointing out evils that
ought to be remedied," he added. Il
don't mean to say that everything he
has said or done IS not to be criticised,
however"
Mr.. Bryan admitted that he had met
W. r. Hearst here earlier In the week,
but refused TO say what they had dis
cussed. He denied a report that Mr..
Hearst had promised TO support him
for president next year
THAT matter was not even mention.
