DAIRY BRIEFS.

Dairy economy means the greatest
production from the smallest number
OF choice COWS on the smallest acreage.
Buy good COW every time you can
get her at reasonable price, but buy
good bull every time regardless OF
price.
In buying COW avoid the one with
restless disposition. There is diff
ference between high nervous develop
ment and restlessness.
Empty the cans and clean them thor
oughly as soon as they get home from
the creamery.
A hot tempered man has no business
in the dairy barn.
We cannot feed heavily one week
and then let down the next and get
an even flow OF milk.
Remember this-the good COW needs
good care. Colantha could not have
made her record If she had not had
the best care.
Dairy COW Improvement Is the result
Of applied knowledge In breeding.
When you buy a blooded dairy COW,
go back far enough to learn what kind
of dam gave birth to her father.
A bull is about as dangerous pet as
grizzly bear and the man who han.
dies one without a nose stick is risking
his life every time be does it.
The Babcock tester and the milk
scale pick out the profitable cows.
A stable odor IS a mighty persistent
/ worker when IL once GETS n start In
the milk.
There is no quick way Of building up
a dairy herd. II takes years Of care
full breeding.
Cleanliness and sunshine have the
same effect in the stables as in the
human habltation, dealing death TO dis
ease germs and health and strength
to the stock, and they are cheaper than

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY ~ CHIN l..
Missionaries Pleased With Emphasis ~ a
Recent BmperiaI Decree.

BOSTON. Dec. 2a.-'rhe American Board
Of Foreign Missions received advices from
China indicating the high significance Of
some recent imperial DEGREES as regards
movements Of reform and progress. One
OF these decrees deals with the rights of
missionaries and the standing Of the Chinese
Christians in native courts.
Il declares that in the dispensing of
Justice no DISTINCTION is to he made betw
Christians and non-Christiana. NIagis-
trates are warned to disregard all influence
either for or against converts" as they are
called; all Chinese are alike proper sub
jects OF the Emperor and are amenable TO
the laws of the land.
The decree, which Is couched in the strong
est terms. offers no criticism of mission
aries. but calls upon officials to afford
protection TO their lives and property and
provides for the instruction Of all officials
in the terms of the treaties which guarantee
such protection. By the terms Of this
decree Chinese Christians are recognized
as having a right to the full protection of
the courts. and fair dealing 10 guaranteed
them under all circumstances.
The significance OF this decree appears not
90 much in what IL says as in the emphasis
with which it says It and the timeliness Of
It's appearance. IL looks as though the
Imperial Government had determined that
Cehgious liberty and civil rights should be
maintained for all who dwell in China.

Justice mccall Of The SGprstus Court
sustained yesterday n demurrer inter-
posed by ths Consolidated Gas Company
TO tho answer flIsd by the city 70 the Ocn-
pany's suit for eS2A.S10 for gas supplied
for street Illuminating purposes in isOS
In Manhattan and The Bronx
The decision In Of importance to the Oity.
as IL will apply equally to all the suits
brought by the Consolidated Gas Company
against tho city since 1903. The total
amounts demanded by the company in
the various suits is over 81, 600 900 for gas
supplied in all the boroughs
The OOnpany's bid to supply gas was
accepted in 1909. under the law Of 1897.
which set the rate for city gas at % cents
after 1901. The contract was approved
by the Board OF Estimate. but subse-
quentIy. in 1905. a law was passed fixing
the rate at rs cents per 1000 cubic feet.
In its answer TO the c0mpanys suit, the
city argued that the Consolidated Gas Com
pany existed In violation OF the Donneily
antitrust law OF 1897. An Illegal COM
bination 10 maintain an unreasonable
price had been formed. the city alleged.
by the Consolidated and its subsidiary COM
panies
Furthermore. it wss urged. the gas COM
pany, as public service corporation, was
bound TO furnish light to the city and could
recover only the fair value Of the gas sup
Piled. which value. about rs cents a thou
sand feet the city stands ready 10 pay.
Hence. 1t was argued. the law fixing the rate
at % cents after 1901 was unconstitutional.
as il deprived the city Of its rights and priv
leges to demand lighting supply at fair
and reasonable price.
Justice Mccall says that under a decision
Union Gas Company against the city some
years ago he is forced to decide against tho
city In the present instance. but hopes that
the matter will be taken to the Court OF APP
peals for final determination.

spiracy existed and that a member Of the

prosecution. Judge Wood reserved his
