bringing about this change of feeling

rLnorR1o1rY ON THE FARMS.
Will Prove A Solution OF The
Labor Problem.

Joseph T. Hopes, of Hartford county, one
day last week invited number of gentlemen
to visit his farm and witness the operation of
milking by electricity, which is thus described:
Upon the second floor in one wing of the
large barn is located an electric motor, driven
by current supplied from mill about 200
yards away, in which the generators are oper.
ated by water wheel. The motor in the
barn drives the vacuum pump, located in the
same room, which connects with and supplies
the pipes ranged in front of the stalls upon
the ground floor, to which the milking machines
are attached by flexible rubber hose. The
milk does not come in contact with air from
the outside until it is emptied into large cans
used for shipment, and consequently is abso-
lutely free from contamination, which is one
great point the manufacturers of the machines
claim for the purity of the product. Attached
to the top ofthe receptacle is a vibrator, which
gives out clicking sound and is intended to
impart to the flow of milk pulsating move
ment like that made by the calf when sucking.
1t acts upon the same principle and has the
same sound as the air pump on locomotive.
A group offour tubes, limitations of a telephone
receiver, is placed upon the teats; turn on
the flow of air and the machine is in motion.
To the uninitiated it appears a remarkable
piece of mechanism, but nothing seems more
simple after one has seen the machine i'll oper-
alton. The makers claim for it no injurious
effects upon the animal on the contrary, they
assert it is much easier than hand milking, for
no two persons have the same method or touch.
Two cows can be milked with the machine at
the same time and the work done in half the
time consumed by the old method.

With the Voters.

PHILADELPHIA, February 3. 3.-William
Jennings Bryan was entertained at lunch.
con at the Racquet Club here today.
Mr.. Bryan was asked whether he was
candidate for the Presidential nomina.
ton, and dictated the following reply:
eff the voters Of the Democratic party
want another than myself nominated at
Denver, they ought to instruct their dele
gates to that effect. If they want me
nominated, they ought to instruct their
delegates for me.
"It is not matter to be decided by me
or by any small faction of the Democratic
voters. 1t is for the majority of the Dem
ocratic voters to. determine. In Novem-
ber last, to stop the misrepresentation
which were going about as to what might
or might not do, and as to the conditions
under which I might or might not be a
candidate, l stated that I would not ask
for nomination, but that I would be a
candidate if it was the desire'of the Dem
ocratic party that should be.
"BeheVlng that In parties, as In pop
ular government, authority comes up to
the official from the people, I believe
that voters, when they gather in their
communities, should express themselves on
party principles and candidates, and then
select delegates in harmony with their
ideas.
'sInstructions are democratic, because
the delegate has no authority except as he
receives instructions from the voters, and
the delegates ought to say that which the
voters want said -

which is played by Mr.. Cressy in "A Village
