italians IN America,
On the authority of the census
of 1900 there were then in the United
States 1,217,124 persons born in Italy
or of Italian parentage. The Italian
Chamber of Commerce of New York
city took a census for itself in 1904
and found that the Italians in New
York state numbered 4s6.176 Accord
ing to George C. Speranza there was
in New York city savings banks at
that time $15,0OO,0OO of the saved
money of Italian immigrants. and
1000 Of them owned real estate worth
s20,000000. There were 10000 stores
kept by Italians worth s7000,000
more, and a wholesale business in
their hands worth $7,5O0,0O0 The
property Of the Italian colony in New
York city he calculated at $60,00O,00O
and according to newspaper report
before me this is much below the val
walton of their holdings in st. Louis,
san Francisco, Chicago and Boston.
know, as all know, says Baron Ma
Yor des Planches in Appleton's Maya

unprecedented and open, which is in

which is never committed except I'M
der strong provocation. This is not
written to prove the Italians nation

FINE HoLsTElN RECORD.
What Nebraska Cow Has Done in
Twelve-Month Test

A three-year-old COW owned by the
Nebraska Agricultural college was
given a II months official test with
the result below. Every pound of milk
was weighed and tested for butter fat
The COW was milked three times a day
for the first six months of lactation
and all the feed given her was
weighed. The results obtained were
especially interesting
In 365 days this COW produced 1S.573
pounds of milk of an average test Of
1874 per cent. butter fat. This amount.
ed to $40 pounds of butter fat for the
year, which estimated as butter
amounts to 734 pounds. At 25 cents
per pound this butter would be worth
$751;, making total value of products
1928. The value of the milk solids.
not fats, at 8 cents per pound would
be SAT.
The whole cost of the feed for this
COW was $71. If the 5000 quarts of
milk had been sold for cents per
quart, the income would have been
1850, or a net profit over the cost of
feed of nearly $500, but as the milk
was actually sold for cents per quart.
the net profit over the cost of feed
was nearly $40. For net profit. this
COW stands close to the record, in fact
above any COWS that we have ever
heard of. Can there be any better ar.
gument for quality in dairy cow

A Petticoat Party.

AS it is quite "commeil faut" for the
intimate girl friends of the twentieth
century bride to contribute bits of
lingerie to her trousseau, this unique
party was given recently for an April
bride-elect. 1t was given in place of a
shower, the girls cut, sewed and made
two fetching chambray petticoats; one
pink, one blue, trimmed with white
curtain net ruffles. 1t takes six yards
with one yard of net to make one
skirt. A deep fiounce is made of the
net ornamented with three graduated
bands of the chambray and bias
band at the top of the ruffie. These
creations will delight the heart of any
young woman and launder beautifully.
Chocolate and waters or chafing-
dish supper is served, and at the party
l refer to the hostess had plates of
fudge and huge pitcher of lemonade
conveniently placed for the happy
workers.
