On Wednesday morning the follow
ing appeared in the Democrat:
Again they come. some thirty
new counts were filed against
Freeman, Chapman and Eldredgc
yesterday, and their arrest fol
lowed. All cases are covered un
der the $1,000 bond on which they
were released Monday.
The following parties signed
the complaints:
There appears a list of 81 names
that the Democrat states signed tht
complaint-the ones swearing to II
and making it appear they were the
ones pushing the charges against thu
bank officials. when the truth is thai
only one person signed and swore tt
the mplaint-Fred Straub. All ths
others are put down as witnesses, the
list being as follows:
James A. Sleeth, Ross e. McGirr
John f. English. Bessie Il. Armstrong
Martin Leander. p. S. Taylor Henry
NJ. Realty, Fred II. Reinhold, ID. l.
Sheets, +. l.. ISimball George Gilbert
John Olbert, NJ. j. Wicklem, b. Il
Thomas, John Males. Grant Morris
Albert w. Parker, David Atterbury
Joseph l.. Day, p. G. Ellis, James FL
Otis.
The Herald can assure its readers
that many of those said to have
signed the complaint signed the de
positors' agreement The signed care
above shows the depths of infamy the
morning sheet will go to in order tt
misrepresent and engender bad feel
ing. To make it appear the list o
men mentioned were prosecuting tint
case against Freeman, ct al, woult
naturally have tendency to misleat
people. And why all this misrepresen
tation? Surely the private citizen has
some rights. Placing men on as VII
nesses is entirely different than show
ing they make the complaint. The
ones mentioned are depositors in the
Colorado State hank and were PROB
ably placed on the list simply tt
prove that the bank was receiving de
posits. For this purpose they nigh
lust as well append the entire list o
depositors. The bank officials do no
and will not deny having received de
posits.
Again we say, 1t is time to call
halt in this misrepresentation, bu
like the Daggett matter there will be
no correction.

SEES FORTUNE IN COWS
FOR ILLINOIS FARMERS
D.

BY keeping only high grade COWS
the dairy farmers Of Illinois could in
crease their aggregate income from
sl6 ,000, 900 to s31 900. 900 year and
make "a profit of s3132 year from
each COW instead of II cents year
from poor COWS, according to a report
just made by Professor w. j. Fraser
of the University OF Illinois. These
figures are based upon three years
test of food supplies and the results
in butter fat.
Thirty-six herds, containing 554
cows We're studied in the experiments
The best 139 of the animals produced
an average of 301 pounds OF butter
fat "A year each. The poor cows aver
aged only 1882 pounds a year each
At % cents pound for butter-the
average Elgin price for the last five
years-the average income from each
| good COW was s6932 n year and from
each poor COW s30.77 a year. Feed
for each poor COW cost $50 year and
for each good COW s3S a year. on
these figures Prof Fraser finds a prof
it of only n cents year for each poor
COW. but profit of sS0.77 year OF
each good cow.
The experiments are said to repre-
sent fairly the conditions in the state
There are more than 100000 dairy
| L., nf those
Prof. Fraser estimates, produce prof
it of s7.7S0.0O0. The poorest 250,00l
cows produce only $l91 500 in buttel
fat value. leaving 500, 900 medium
grade COWS that produce s7971,O00 o
value.
BY eliminating the poor cows an(
substituting good ones, Prof. Frasel
says. the average can be brought NJ
to the standard set by the best COWS
in the experiments, or even raised
above that standard. This can be ac
complished, he says. without any ad
ditional cost in labor.
"The trouble" says the professor
lies in the fact that few dairyme:
know or suspect the profit or loss
from each COW in his herd. Very few
even put down the payments received
from milk and the items of money
paid out on each herd, to say nothing
of the individual cows record or O
estimating the cost of feed. AS long
| as these conditions exist there can be
no Improvement With care, how
ever, and intelligence, dairying can be
made one of the most profitable lines
of farming.
| In the calculations the skim milk
the calf and the manure are counted
as paying for the labor and the inter
est on Investment. Two typical cows
\ are described in detail in q bulletin
issued by the university. The report
says concerning these:
AT the agricultural station are two
cows, both bought at Elsil for gooC
| producers. All milk of these cows
has been weighed and tested for three
| years. A record has been kept OF
every pound of food consumed by each
